Plutocracy litmus test- the Council on Foreign Relations
Yesterday I asked, "Are we a plutocracy?"- http://tinyurl.com/33fzt

Now I am concerned for a litmus test for testing for representatives of the plutocracy. The following are not my words, but they present the question very well. They are from http://tinyurl.com/33l72

The only way to make sure if a candidate is not one of the tools of the Plutocracy is to ask one simple question:

"Are you a member of the Council on Foreign Relations?"


The issue of Plutocratic rule is central to many people that are independent. That may be why they are not members of either party.
There are people out there that want to change Plutocratic rule, as hard a thing to do as that is. But first, what do you think of the idea that a person in the Council on Foreign Relations is a representative of the Plutocracy Club?

1. The right in the 70s and 80s saw a major danger in
the Coucil on Foreign Relations and the Tri-Lateral Commission and the group that meets at Davos (if that's an additional one).

'Conspiracy theories' meet????

NOTE: I'm not disagreeing with you; just noting the right at one time was very concerned about this group. I think they claimed that the 'Eastern establishment' in the Republican party was controlled by this group.
