Are Obama and the Council on Foreign Relations related in any way, and if so, why is this information being kept from the American public?

Although not official, rumor has it that the new American president, Barack Obama, is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

So just what is the Council on Foreign Relations?

The CFR is supposed to be an unbiased private organization of influential American citizens who gather to promote a better understanding around the world of our foreign policy and the role the United States has in the foreign policies of other countries.

That's the official definition that is hoped will satisfy the curiosity of American citizens.

The unofficial report is that the Council on Foreign Relations is made up of a membership of elite Americans who are working towards the goal of a new world order.

For this very reason alone, it would be devastating to Americans to find out that Obama is just another team member of the CFR.

It would mean that everything he does will come into question.

Whether or not Obama and the Council on Foreign Relations are in any way related will be much under scrutiny by many Americans who understand what the CFR is all about.

OBAMA A CFR PUPPET?

As mentioned previously, it's not official whether or not President Obama is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. However, he has certainly gotten a lot of support during his campaign for president from some top CFR members, such as Time Warner, JP Morgan/Chase Manhattan and IBM.

There is little said in the media about the CFR, and certainly nothing at all mentioned about Obama and the Council on Foreign Relations. It's this issue of secrecy and not releasing all the facts that should have Americans concerned. Most Americans are ecstatic that Obama has been elected.

Many expect Obama to do great things for this country. But is he really as good as he appears?

POWER OF THE CFR

In an essay written for Foreign Affairs, the CFR's own published magazine, Obama clearly outlined his vigorous geopolitical plans. Once again this raises the question of whether the ties between Obama and the Council on Foreign Relations are stronger and deeper than we may think.

Any time the CFR is mentioned in the press or by the media the information about them is either irrelevant or inconsequential. Many believe that this is for a good reason: the Council on Foreign Relations wants to stay as deep in the shadows as it can.

There are many notable and influential members of the CFR that most people don't even know about. Some of these members include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Alan Greenspan, Condoleezza Rice, Henry Kissinger and Angelina Jolie.

Members rarely, if ever, discuss their membership in the Council on Foreign Relations with anyone in the media. Once again, secrecy abounds, and that alone should put up big red flags for Americans to clearly see.

OBAMA'S CFR CREW

President Obama's top domestic and foreign policy advisors, and perhaps some members of his administration, are important members of the CFR. Again, this leads people to believe that Obama and the Council on Foreign Relations are indeed tied together.

Will these current CFR members help Obama to change some of the things that are wrong with this country? Or will they remain fixated on the Council on Foreign Relations and its plan for the global elite to establish a new world order?

Some of the members of Obama's advisory team include Susan E. Rice and Anthony Lake. Rice is criticized as having little knowledge about affairs in the Middle East and has been predicted to follow in the footsteps of Condoleezza Rice if she is appointed as National Security Advisor.

Lake, who was first national security advisor to Clinton, has been accused of failing to challenge the genocide disaster in Rwanda in 1994.

Another member of Obama's team is Madeline Albright who defended sanctions against Iraq where millions of children have died.

When she was asked on 60 Minutes about the outcome of the sanctions, she responded by saying,

'We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it? I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.'

Does Obama really want people with these types of morals working for him? Does the American public want change or do we want things to continue as they have been under the Bush administration?

These are questions that Americans should be looking for answers to as Obama takes power.
