Fred Thompson admits to reading CFR's publication discussing US COLLAPSE!

[Matt Collins]

Yeah, it's becoming very obvious:

If I recall correctly he is a member of the CFR so it shouldn't be surprising that he reads its literature. What should be disturbing is that the CFR has been known to run simulation games on financial collapse

Has he shown any inclination to run again in 2012?

Does anybody know the context of that blog's background picture?

background photo is taken from the G20 protest in Canada.

The background pic of the praying lady sums up our situation quite well... There is a police state growing around us and there are things worth fighting for.. hopefully good will prevail

The video is part 1 of the Fred Thompson Deception and the blogpost is part two.. The blogpost details his past association with the CFR and some issues and stances Fred Thompson has that would shock most Republicans, Conservatives, and Southerners..

The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0882791346?ie=UTF8&tag=libert0f-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0882791346)


Does America have a hidden oligarchy? Is U.S. foreign policy run by a closed shop? What is the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations)? It began in 1921 as a front organization for J.P. Morgan and Company. By World War II it had acquired unrivaled influence on American foreign policy. Hundreds of U.S. government administrators and diplomats have been drawn from its ranks - regardless of which party has occupied the White House. But what does the Council on Foreign Relations stand for? Why do the major media avoid discussing it? What has been its impact on America's past - and what is it planning for the future?

I don't get it. Is the Ron Paul movement starting it's own Index of Prohibited Books? Do I need to cancel my subscription to Foreign Affairs if I want to be a lover of Liberty?

No, we're just saying don't trust or vote for Fred Thompson.

[cswake]

I think they're referring to the implication that reading the book links Thompson with the alleged conspiracy of the CFR to bring about a world government by collapsing the US.

More kooky bullshit from the Alex Jones crowd.

Well I guess that makes the entire blog post null and void, right?

Care to explain how it's "kooky bullshit"? People like you that dismiss things out-of-hand without even having read the contents irritate me. It's the same crap the sheeple say when they're too lazy to THINK. I'd love to hear your explanation of why it's kooky bullshit but somehow I doubt you'll post again with your grand total of 44 posts in 3 years.

Having said that, I occasionally look at Foreign Affairs simply to know what the CFR is thinking about.

[erowe1]

I'm not a Fred Thompson fan. But is merely reading Foreign Affairs really a bad thing?

What else are we not supposed to read?

You should ask Ron Paul what he thinks about the Council on Foreign Relations. lol

Agreed. Sometimes they put out some good stuff too - check out their podcast from a couple years ago: The Great Crash, 2008

[ClayTrainor]

I have the CFR app on my iphone, lol.

[Joey Fuller]

it's not that you are prohibited from reading CFR books/publications if you are a part of the Liberty movement...

it's that the CFR is group that wants a One World Government... They want the concept of Sovereignty destroyed and America to be porous and subserviant to a One World Government...

read the quotes from the president of the CFR:
Quotes from Richard Haass, President of the CFR:
"Moreover, states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the
international system is to function."

"In the age of globalization, states should give up some sovereignty to world bodies in
order to protect their own interests"

probably not a good group to join if you believe in the Constitution and our Republic...
read the article:

http://www.tennesseesonsofliberty.com/2010/12/fred-thompson-deception.html (http://www.tennesseesonsofliberty.com/2010/12/fred-thompson-deception.html)

[erowe1]

Sure. And then I'll ask him where he got his information about the CFR, and if he says that he got it from reading what they themselves published, then I guess that will make him some kind of a traitor like Fred Thompson apparently is for doing that. Is that the way the argument goes?

[Joey Fuller]

I am not privy to how long a membership in the CFR lasts, once a member always a member, every four years you must renew... I don't know..

What I do know is that they are an elitist think tank style group which favors a global govt. and actively calls for the end of American Sovereignty in order to keep us safe..

If you read the whole article you'd see my accusations against Mr. Thompson are not because he read one of their documents...

"The core values of the average voter in Tennessee are very conservative. This fact has produced Democrats that voted overwhelmingly for Ronald Reagan. But, out of misguided local loyalty, the conservative voters in Tennessee have also repeatedly elected homegrown globalists. Among them are prominent United States Sens. Howard Baker, Bill Frist, Lamar Alexander, and – yes – Fred Thompson."
"All four of those Republican senators from Tennessee were members of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations during their tenure in the United States Senate. (And, a Democratic senator from Tennessee – Al Gore, who became vice-president – was also a CFR member.) Baker, who mentored Thompson into politics in 1972, was part of the "Panama Canal giveaway team" during the administration of President Jimmy Carter – another CFR member."

Well it's interesting that someone like Fred gets his information and talking points from their publication. Especially when it, and subsequently he, are discussing the collapse of the American system. That's the point.
