Some bloggers were shocked by a Hillary Clinton email, published by WikiLeaks, which includes some "advice" from Jewish billionaire and former CFR director George Soros regarding State Dept policy in Europe. Why the surprise? Soros has donated millions of dollars to the Clintons, and Hillary is on record stating that the CFR oligarchs tell her "what to do and how to think":

"It's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of 'advice' from the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be told what we should be doing and how we should think about the future."

Several other recipients of that message are also CFR members, including Richard Verma, Philip Gordon, and William Burns. Someone should cross-check every name in these message dumps to see how many CFR operatives are involved. Former CIA director, Michael Morell, who just endorsed Clinton is a CFR member. He was recently interviewed by Charlie Rose of PBS, also a CFR member, calling for war on Iran.

Besides Soros and son, other high-profile CFR members include Hillary's husband Bill Clinton, advisor Sidney Blumenthal, Victoria Nuland, Robert Kagan, Dick Cheney, John McCain, Henry Kissinger, Strobe Talbott, Robert Rubin, David Rubenstein, Michael Bloomberg, Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, Laurence Fink, Steve Schwarzman, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, and CFR godfather David Rockefeller.

The banks that paid millions in "speaking fees" to the Clintons (Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, BlackRock et al) are CFR sponsors. Media organizations including Time-Warner/CNN, Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, Google and Facebook are CFR sponsors. Many of the network execs and propagandists covering for the Clintons are CFR members:
