Biden picks Kissinger’s C.F.R. stalwarts to direct U.S. foreign policy – more invasions?

~ Fred Donaldson
More than four decades of working together, Joe Biden, left, and Henry Kissinger have promoted the Council on Foreign Relations quest for a New World Order through global cooperation, ending borders of trade and immigration, and continuing America’s military role: ready to intervene anywhere in the world if necessary.

The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy, and if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern. – Henry Kissinger, March 1, 1973

Critics have called the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) the “Henry Kissinger Club” – a think tank, whose members embrace or seem to overlook their spiritual leader’s stances.

In practice the CFR is more like a junior version of the Trilateral Commission, which Kissinger and David Rockefeller founded after President Richard Nixon’s trade-opening trip to China.

It was Kissinger who seemed to orchestrate the Vietnam War with Lyndon Johnson’s and Richard Nixon’s help, toyed with policies that nearly destroyed Israel, consulted with the Bushes to push both the Iraq invasions, promoted creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and for 40 years has kept Russia out of any international organization, except the United Nations.

Joe Biden toasts 25 private hours with Xi Jinping, or maybe the end of tariffs and virus blame?

As chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee, President-in-waiting Joe Biden has also pushed anti-Russian policy, and like Kissinger, embraced China as a trading and cultural partner, assuming that American investment would lead that Communist nation to a more humanitarian stance.

I’ve spent a lot of time—apparently, I was told by the folks at State—I’ve spent more time in private meetings with Xi Jinping than any world leader. I have 25 hours of private dinners with him, just he and I, and one interpreter. So I’m not worried.

It kind of reminds me of when I got here as a kid. I was 29 years old, running for the Senate, and at the time there was this great thing of this—you know, this connection from – running from Moscow to Beijing, that was going to overtake the world. And looking back on it, I remember saying I don’t get that.. – Joe Biden, 2018 interview with the Council on Foreign Relations

As Biden approaches the Presidency his proposed list of appointments sound like a council-reviewed group, unlike the Donald Trump administration’s reluctance to appoint CFR members.

Biden, Blinken, Rice and Kerry. Not a law firm, but our possible foreign policy leaders.

Past and current CFR members announced by Biden so far include: Anthony Blinken (State), Alejandro Mayorkas (Homeland Security), Janet Yellen (Treasury), Michele Flournoy and Jeh Johnson (candidates for Defense), Linda Thomas-Greenfield (Ambassador to the UN), Richard Stengel (US Agency for Global Media), John Kerry (Special Envoy for Climate), Nelson Cunningham (candidate for Trade), and Thomas Donilon (candidate for CIA Director).

Biden is following in the footsteps of Barack Obama, who received names of his 2018 cabinet a month before his election by CFR Senior Fellow (Citigroup banker) Michael Froman, according to a Wikileaks email. The resulting key posts were filled almost entirely by those CFR members.

Froman later negotiated the infamous TPP and TTIP international trade agreements, before returning as a Distinguished Fellow to the CFR.

Obama was not the only President involved with this group. Many former public officials officials were members, including the following:

The Treasury Department and Federal Reserve have a long list of CFR members:

CFR has been well represented at universities:

What would the CFR be without Wall Street and finance leaders:

Of course, a key to CFR success is its allegiance to the United Nations:

The CFR has also been represented in NGOs, Think Tanks and commissions:

The CFR pushed hard for international trade agreements, and ending tariffs, since its founding in 1921. That’s why their most recent nightmare has been Trump, who immediately canceled many U.S. trade deals in 2017.

Trump called the international approach detrimental to US domestic industry, negatively affecting employment and wages here, as well as stifling manufacturing.

He also canceled the CFR-backed multinational Iran nuclear deal and the UN climate agreement, Trump tried to withdraw US troops from Asia, Middle East, Europe and Africa, but his own military stonewalled. Trump has also fought the CFR’s open borders policy in favor of an America First approach.

With its vast reach and elite membership, the CFR may qualify as the real “Establishment” that influences our domestic and foreign policy.

First full-time job at 17 was dollar-an-hour newspaper copyboy at the Evening and Sunday Bulletin (760,000 daily). Promotions led to general assignments and rewrite at that Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper (1964 and 1965). After the Bulletin, served as the editor of Valley Forge Sentinel and Conshohocken Recorder, Sr. VP of their newspaper group in 1972, and became publisher in 1975  of the West Oak Lane Leader - an African-American community newspaper - for the next 18 years. In 1993 named president of ING's 18-newspapers in Metro Philadelphia and New Jersey. Company was later purchased by JRC (NYSE), and I was appointed publisher of the Montgomery/Bucks/Philly newspaper division by the infamous Journal Register CEO Bob Jelenic. During the 60s and 70s, I corresponded for the United States Information Agency, reporting and writing for publication in foreign countries.
