CFR - connection to the MSM!
Cooper says,
"Want to know why you can't get the truth off of television, radio, or from newspapers?
=CFR controls them.=
Barbara Walters - ALL OF THEM are members of the CFR"

A Politburo for Capitalism?
" . . . this is the seat of the most influential private institution in America and the Western world, the seat of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Council for Foreign Relations.
William Domhoff, political scientist: "The Council is the crucial link between the big corporations and the government … The importance of this union for understanding the basic motives and basics of American world politics can hardly be overstated … Yet most of them have citizens This country, which considers itself the best informed community of all time, has no idea of the existence of such a body … "

The Presidium
The Establishment is not, of course, at any level a membership organization in the sense that it collects dues, issues cards, or holds meetings openly under its own auspices. It is a coalition of forces, the leaders of which form the top directorate, or Executive Committee -referred to sometimes as "Central."
At the lower levels, organization is quite loose, almost primitive in some cases, and this is one of the facts that explains the differences in definition among experts. In the upper reaches, though, certain divisions have achieved a high degree of organization. For instance, the directors of the Council on Foreign Relations make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation. The presidents and senior professors of the great Eastern universities
frequently constitute themselves as ad hoc Establishment committees.
Now and then, the Executive Committee regroups as an Establishment front for some particular end. In the summer of 1961, as a case in point, when anti-Establishment forces in Congress and elsewhere threatened the President's foreign aid program, the Establishment, at the request of the White House, hastily formed the Citizens' Committee for International Development and
managed to bull through a good deal of what the President wanted. The Establishment has always favored foreign aid. It is, in fact, a matter on which Establishment discipline may be invoked.
Summing up the situation at the present moment, it can, I think, be said that the Establishment maintains effective control over the executive and judicial branches of government; that it dominates most of American education and intellectual life; that it has very nearly unchallenged power in deciding what is and what is not respectable opinion in this country. Its authority is enormous in organized religion (Roman Catholics and fundamentalist Protestants to one side), in science, and, indeed, in all the learned professions except medicine. It is absolutely unrivaled in the great new world created by the philanthropic foundations-a fact which goes most of the way toward explaining why so little is known about the Establishment and its workings. Not one thin dime of Rockefeller, Carnegie, or Ford money has been spent to further Establishment studies.*
If it were not for the occasional formation of public committees such as the Citizens' Committee for International Development, Establishment scholars would have a difficult time learning who the key figures are. Committee rosters serve establishmentologists in the same way that May Day photographs of the reviewing stand above Lenin's tomb serve the Kremlinologists. By close analysis of them, by checking one list of names against another, it is possible to keep tabs quite accurately on the Executive Committee.
A working principle agreed upon by Establishment scholars is this: If in the course of a year a man's name turns up 14 times in paid advertisements in, or collective letters to, the New York Times, the official Establishment daily, it is about 14 to 1 that
he is a member of the Executive Committee. (I refer, naturally, to advertisements and letters pleading Establishment causes.) There are, to be sure, exceptions. Sometimes a popular athlete or movie actor will, innocently or otherwise, allow himself and his name to be exploited by the Establishment. He might turn up 20 times a year and still have no real status in the institution. But that is an exception. The rule is as stated above.
One important difference between the American Establishment and the party hierarchy in Russia is that the Establishment chairman is definitely not the man in the center of the picture or the one whose name is out of alphabetical order in the listings. The secret is astonishingly well kept.
Was JFK Member?
Some people, to be sure, have argued that when, as happens most of the time. the Establishment has a man of its own in the White House, he automatically becomes chairman-just as he automatically becomes commander in chief of the armed forces. I am quite certain that this is not the case. For one thing, the Establishment rarely puts one of its tried and trusted leaders in the White House. Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy have both served the Establishment and been served by it, but neither is or ever was a member of the innermost circle. Both, indeed, were admitted with some reluctance on the part of senior members, and Eisenhower's standing has at times been most insecure.

In his famous article about “The American Establishment”, political columnist Richard H. Rovere noted:
“The directors of the CFR make up a sort of Presidium for that part of the Establishment that guides our destiny as a nation. () [I]t rarely fails to get one of its members, or at least one of its allies, into the White House. In fact, it generally is able to see to it that both nominees are men acceptable to it.”
Until recently, this assessment had indeed been justified. Thus, in 1993 former CFR director George H.W. Bush was followed by CFR member Bill Clinton, who in turn was followed by CFR “family member” George W. Bush. In 2008, CFR member John McCain lost against CFR candidate of choice, Barack Obama, who received the names of his entire Cabinet already one month prior to his election by CFR Senior Fellow (and Citigroup banker) Michael Froman. Froman later negotiated the TTP and TTIP free trade agreements, before returning to the CFR as a Distinguished Fellow.
It was not until the 2016 election that the Council couldn’t, apparently, prevail. At any rate, not yet.
