How both parties are controlled by the same group:
Some Council on Foreign Relation facts;
The 3,000 seats of the CFR quickly filled with members of America's elite. Today,CFR members occupy key positions in government, the mass media, financial institutions, multinational corporations, the military, and the national security apparatus.
Since its inception, the CFR has served as an intermediary between high finance, big oil, corporate elitists and the U.S. government. The executive branch changes hands between Republican and Democratic administrations, but cabinet seats are always held by CFR members. It has been said by political commentators on the left and on the right that if you want to know what U.S. foreign policy will be next year, you should read Foreign Affairs this year.
The CFR's claim that "The Council has no affiliation with the U.S. government" is laughable. The justification for that statement is that funding comes from member dues, subscriptions to its Corporate Program, foundation grants, and so forth. All this really means is that the U.S. government does not exert any control over the CFR via the purse strings.
In reality, CFR members are very tightly affiliated with the U.S. government. Since 1940, every U.S. secretary of state (except for Gov. James Byrnes of South Carolina, the sole exception) has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and/or its younger brother, the Trilateral Commission. Also since 1940, every secretary of war and every secretary of defense has been a CFR member. During most of its existence, the Central Intelligence Agency has been headed by CFR members, beginning with CFR founding member Allen Dulles. Virtually every key U.S. national security and foreign policy adviser has been a CFR member for the past seventy years.
Almost all White House cabinet positions are occupied by CFR members. President Clinton, himself a member of the CFR, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group, employs almost one hundred CFR members in his administration. Presidents come and go, but the CFR's power--and agenda--always remains.
The CFR's Shroud of Secrecy - On its web page, the CFR boasts that its magazine, Foreign Affairs, "is acclaimed for its analysis of recent international developments and for its forecasts of emerging trends." It's not much of a challenge to do so, though, when you play a part in determining what those emerging trends will be.
This point is underscored a paragraph later on their web page: "Perhaps best known for the history-making "X" article by George Kennan, that defined Cold War containment policy, a recent Foreign Affairs article by Harvard's Samuel Huntington, "The Clash of Civilizations?" has already helped define the post-Cold War debate."
So are they predicting trends or creating them? The answer is fairly obvious to anyone who has earnestly reflected on the matter.
The CFR fancies itself to represent a diverse range cultural and political interests, but its members are predominantly wealthy males, and their policies reflect their elitist biases. The CFR attempts to maintain the charade of diversity via its Non-Attribution Rule, which allows members to engage in "a free, frank, and open exchange of ideas" without fear of having any of their statements attributed in public. The flip side of this, obviously, is a dark cloud of secrecy which envelopes the CFR's activities.
CFR meetings are usually held in secret and are restricted to members and very select guests. All members are free to express themselves at meetings unrestrained, because the Non-Attribution Rule guarantees that "others will not attribute or characterize their statements in public media forums or knowingly transmit them to persons who will," according to the Council on Foreign Relations' 1992 Annual Report.
The report goes on to forbid any meeting participant "to publish a speaker's statement in attributed form in any newspaper; to repeat it on television or radio, or on a speaker's platform, or in a classroom; or to go beyond a memo of limited circulation."
The end result is that the only information the public has on the CFR is the information they release for public consumption, which should send up red flags for anyone who understands the immense effect that CFR directives have on America's foreign policy. The public knows what the CFR wants the public to know about the CFR, and nothing more. There is one hole in the fog of secrecy, however: a book entitled Tragedy and Hope, written by an "insider" named Dr. Carroll Quigley, mentor of Bill Clinton.

God help us is right. I just signed a petition asking Jeb Bush not to run for president. Of course, when it comes to the undercurrent of politics and the "powers that be" -- petitions of this nature often mean little.
Sure, I've seen plenty of photos of the so called "opposing candidates" hobnobbing and socializing together. And, it's a fact -- this they do. We need a real conservative, Bible-believing, Constitution believing, hard-hitting, flag-waving opponent to shove in Hillary's face. We need a true American patriot!
I remember a couple of true patriotic presidents in my lifetime. One was a Republican. He barely missed assassination. The other was a Democrat. He went against the system, too, and the mega-powers behind the government. It cost him his life.
"There's a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." (President John F. Kennedy -- 7 days before his assassination.)
You can't always judge a book by it's cover, or a presidential candidate by the words that come out of his or her mouth. (Notice, I didn't say a thing about Obama and his twisted, distorted, deceptive message of "Hope and change!") Hopefully, we won't have to make a choice between Hillary Clinton, a true satanic, Islamic, and communist witch and Jeb Bush, another liberal professing to be a conservative!
Again, dear Lord, please help us. ((And, oh, by the way, we know that Hillary says little that can't be tracked to the Communist Manifesto, but did you know that Hillary converted to Islam? Or, at least, it certainly appears that way!

http://godfatherpolitics.com/5866/hillary-clintons-connection-muslim-brotherhood/ THESE ARE MUST-READS!! And, pass it along. The Muslim Brotherhood appears to be a rebranding for ISIS in this country (?))
Let's do some more research on Jeb and his ulterior motives! What would be the underlying reasons that the Republican party would run him, if, indeed, they do?
At least, on the bottom line, we can thank God that only He knows the rest of the story!!!! And, that's all to His glory! Praise the Living God!
For God, country, and the future of our children, Shalom
