CFR STRANGLEHOLD OVER THE MEDIA PROMOTING ENDLESS WAR

by Matt AgoristJanuary 29, 2018
from TheFreeThoughtProject Website
 





A single organization
controls almost everything you
see, hear, and read in the media
and they've been handpicking
your leaders for decades.





It is no secret that over the last 4 decades, mainstream media has been consolidated from dozens of competing companies to only six.

Hundreds of channels, websites, news outlets, newspapers, and magazines, making up ninety percent of all media is controlled by very few people, giving Americans the illusion of choice.
 
While six companies controlling most everything the Western world consumes in regard to media may sound like a sinister arrangement, the Swiss Propaganda Research center (SPR) has just released information that is even worse.

The research group was able to tie all these media companies to a single organization:

the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).


For those who may be unaware, the CFR is a primary member of the circle of Washington think-tanks promoting endless war.

As former Army Major Todd Pierce describes, this group acts as "primary provocateurs" using,
"'psychological suggestiveness' to create a false narrative of danger from some foreign entity with the objective being to create paranoia within the U.S. population that it is under imminent threat of attack or takeover."
A senior member of the CFR and outspoken neocon warmonger, Robert Kagan has even publicly proclaimed that the U.S. should create an empire.

The narrative created by CFR and its cohorts is picked up by their secondary communicators, also known the mainstream media, who push it on the populace with no analysis or questioning.

When looking at the chart from SPR, the reach by this single organization is so vast that it is no mystery as to how these elite psychopaths guide Americans into accepting endless war at the expense of their mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters.

Top journalists and executives from all major media companies are integrated into the CFR.

As the chart below illustrates, the CFR has even more control in the mainstream media than even the nefarious Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission.

As SPR points out, Richard Harwood, former managing editor and ombudsman of the Washington Post, wrote about the Council on Foreign Relations Recognizing that its members most likely correspond to what one might call the "ruling establishment of the United States."

Harwood continued,
"The membership of these journalists in the council, however they may think of themselves, is an acknowledgment of their active and important role in public affairs and of their ascension into the American ruling class.

They do not merely analyze and interpret foreign policy for the United States; they help make it."
Let that sink in...

This group of unaccountable, unelected, professional propagandists in America doesn't simply analyze U.S. government policy - they make it.

While only five percent of the members of CFR work within the media, as SPR points out that is all they need to implement the will of its other members that includes:
  • several U.S. presidents and vice presidents of both parties

  • almost all foreign, defense and finance ministers

  • most chiefs of staff and commanders of the U.S. military and NATO

  • nearly all National Security Advisers, CIA Directors, UN Ambassadors, Fed Chairmen, World Bank Presidents, and Directors of the National Economic Council

  • some of the most influential members of Congress (especially foreign and security politicians)

  • numerous media managers and top journalists, as well as some of the most famous actors

  • numerous prominent academics, especially in the key areas of economics, international relations, political and historical sciences, and journalism

  • numerous executives from think tanks, universities, NGOs, and Wall Street

  • key members of the 9/11 Commission and the Warren Commission (JFK)
To highlight just how much control over the media the CFR wields we need only look at the fact that they operate - in the open - and receive nearly no media coverage.

The former chairman of the CFR, High Commissioner for Germany, co-founder of the Atlantic Bridge, World Bank president, and an adviser to a total of nine U.S. presidents, John J. McCloy actually bragged publicly about the CFR hand picking U.S. politicians.

"Whenever we needed a man [in Washington], we just thumbed through the roll of Council members and put through a call to New York [to the CFR's headquarters office]," said McCloy.

Until the election of Trump the past four presidents have been the director of the CFR, George HW Bush, who was replaced by a member of the CFR, Bill Clinton, who was replaced by a family member of the CFR, George W Bush, who was then replaced by CFR aspirant candidate Barack Obama - who filled his cabinet with members of the elite group.

Although Donald Trump was never a public member of the CFR, that did not stop him from filling the White House with dozens of CFR members.

Here are just a few of the CFR members appointed by Trump:
  • Elaine Chao, United States Secretary of Transportation (CFR individual member)
  • Jamie Dimon, Member of Strategic and Policy Forum (CFR corporate member)
  • Jim Donovan, Deputy Treasury Secretary (CFR corporate member)
  • Larry Fink, Member of Strategic and Policy Forum (CFR corporate member)
  • Neil M. Gorsuch, Supreme Court Justice (individual CFR member)
  • Vice Admiral Robert S. Harward, National Security Advisor (declined appointment) (CFR corporate member)
Even though Trump wasn't a CFR member outright, his cabinet is made up almost entirely of its members. 

As this information illustrates - democracy is an illusion.

The American Awakening Has Begun - Here is the Deep State


This documentary needs to be seen and disseminated across the entire land. From Police Officers to local government officials to the everyday individual needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the Oligarchy that is manipulating division and discontent to divide us. Many of us have different perspectives that are used to foment divisions or "groups" that stand in opposition to each other instead of those who have long planned to manipulate us into being so divided. We all have the same enemy. It is time to reject party and unite. 
Tom Lacovara-Stewart - RTR Truth Media
https://steemit.com/illuminati/@rtrtruthmedia/nfinyndx

Free Mind Films decided to work with international best-selling author James Perloff, drawing on research used in writing his book Truth Is a Lonely Warrior. Narrated by veteran Hollywood star Kevin Sorbo (view Kevin’s bio below), ShadowRing tells the story of the secretive oligarchy that has ruled America from behind the scenes for well over a century:





Embroiling us in wars through false flags, from the sinking of the Maine (Spanish-American War) to Tonkin Gulf (Vietnam War) to Saddam Hussein’s non-existent WMDs (Iraq War).
Controlling our foreign policy through the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which has dominated the cabinets of Democratic and Republican Presidents alike.
Devastating our economy through the market-controlling Federal Reserve, which has destroyed 98 percent of the dollar’s value since the Fed was secretly planned at the infamous Jekyll Island meeting of 1910.
Scheming to establish a one-world government in which national sovereignty and individual liberty will be obliterated.
Keeping the public in the dark about its agenda through sweeping ownership of mainstream media.
ShadowRing fuses historical film footage with commentary from diverse alternative-media analysts. Featured guests include:
• Katherine Albrecht 
• Chuck Baldwin 
• Catherine Bleish 
• Jack Blood 
• Gerald Celente 
• G. Edward Griffin 
• Adam Kokesh 
• Rosa Koire 
• Jim Marrs 
• Mark Passio 
• James Perloff 
• Joyce Riley 
• Pat Shannan 
• Ben Swann 
• Patrick Wood.

One of our goals is to drive home that the battle is not about “liberals versus conservatives” or “Democrats versus Republicans”; it’s about the people uniting against an elitist oligarchy which aims to enslave us all. ShadowRing is meant to be a tool to help awaken your family members and friends from the “blue-pill matrix” that mainstream media has woven.

"This documentary has in an extremly well done presentation only reaffirmed all of the research that I and my co-host Lorri Anderson and my former co-host Bruce Ray Riggs have come to independently.though thousands upon thousands of hours of the reading of historical documents and Congressional records, private letters and declassified government reportys. Absolutely amazing. 
- Tom Lacovara-Stewart host of RTR Truth Media Resurrect the Republic Radio Show

“ShadowRing is absolutely one of the best documentaries I have ever seen; I hope everybody gets it. I think anybody would be proud to show this to their church group, to their school group, because now you don’t have to be the messenger, this is the message. This is the kind of information with which your children will get an amazing education. Please share it with many others after viewing.”
—Joyce Riley, host of The Power Hour

“My opinion isn’t cheap and it’s not bought. And the last time I saw a documentary film as good as this, it was The Corporation made by Joel Bakan back in 2003.”—Richie Allen, host of The Richie Allen Show



“The documentary offers clear and convincing evidence to show even the most skeptical person that there is, indeed, a shadowy cabal of globalists hoping to install themselves as masters of humanity.” 
—The New American, 9/24/2015

“In ShadowRing, Free Mind Films has created a film that is both a warning and a wakeup call. Must-see viewing for everyone who cares about individual liberty.”
—award-winning Hollywood producer and director Peter Lancett

This new and exciting documentary will build on the successes of ‘State of Mind: The Psychology of Control’ – Free Mind Films’ follow up to the multiple award winning documentary exposé ‘A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995′ .

Free Mind Films has decided to work with international best-selling author James Perloff to tell the virtually unknown story of the Council On Foreign Relations (CFR) and how that organization is the key to understanding how our world has become what we see today. Mr. Perloff literally wrote the book on the CFRs existence more than 20 years ago and now he’s back with a new book titled “Truth is a Lonely Warrior” which he used as the research platform to write the script for ‘ShadowRing’. ShadowRing will entertainingly unfold the events that led to the creation of the CFR, the important players who were instrumental in the council’s success within American politics, and how the CFR wields unimaginable influence over the geo-political agenda of the United States and consequently the events that have shaped our world for the last 100 years.

Expert witnesses and testimony will be woven together with a historical visual landscape designed to present the inherent complexity of this subject in a way that is palatable for someone who has no prior knowledge of the CFR or what power it has over our lives. Source documents will give credibility to these incredible and life shattering revelations. By providing the audience with the facts and avoiding opinions or conjecture, ShadowRing will break down the dis-information and unlock the secrets of the CFR providing fertile ground to encourage a new public debate on the ethical and moral implications of allowing such a small group of individuals to command such power and influence over our lives.

ShadowRing’s narrator is award winning Hollywood, actor, writer, director and producer – Kevin Sorbo. In 1993 he emerged as a full-fledged international TV star when he was cast as the lead role of Hercules in a series of 5 made for TV films that would lay the groundwork for the immensely popular running series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. (1993 – 1999) becoming the most watched show in the world.

Just as the Hercules series came to an end, Kevin received a call from the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, personally requesting him to play the lead role in Roddenberry’s second sci-fi series, Andromeda. The show ran for 5 seasons as the number one show in first run syndication and further fueled Kevin’s already ferociously loyal global following!
