address the Council on Foreign Relations, huh? How dare she?
The video is from 2012, when she was Secretary of State. But you knew that, right?

From Wikipedia:
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), founded in 1921, is a United States nonprofit, 4900 member organization, publisher, and think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs, headquartered in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C.. Its membership has included senior politicians, more than a dozen secretaries of state, CIA directors, bankers, lawyers, professors, and senior media figures. The CFR promotes globalization, free trade, reducing financial regulations on transnational corporations, and economic consolidation into regional blocs such as NAFTA or the European Union, and develops policy recommendations that reflect these goals.
The council has been the subject of debates over sovereignty as well as the subject of numerous conspiracy theories. This is primarily due to the number of high-ranking government officials (along with world business leaders and prominent media figures) in its membership and the large number of aspects of American foreign policy that its members have been involved with. Echoing the most common accusation, that the CFR is "Guilty of conspiring with others to build a one world government..."

The politics of the elite corporate/media/government/financial/MIC conspires against US sovereignty and democracy of and by the people, in favor of global government by the increasingly consolidated oligarchy.
As citizens who still have the right to vote, we each have to decide if we're ok with that.

I don't do conspiracy theory crap. I leave that to others.
