In 2006, a video
clip showing David Rockefeller praising Dick Cheney for his
"...strong endorsement of the Free Trade Agreement for all of the
Americas," and Cheney's admission to concealing his CFR membership
during his Congressional career appeared on Youtube, creating a buzz
in the alternative news. One angle to this story seems to have been overlooked.
Watch the clip:
In Gary Allen's book, The Rockefeller File,
which discusses the monumental influence that the Rockefeller elites
exert in America and abroad, he discusses the practice of the CFR to
conceal members activities with the Council.
"Richard Nixon's own
membership in the Council on Foreign Relations became an issue
in 1962, during his contest with Joe Shell in California for the
Republican guber natorial nomination. After that, Mr. Nixon
arranged with the Council for his name not to appear on public
releases as a member. The CFR admits that it is sometimes
necessary for its members to appear to have left the Council. On
page 42 of the Council's 1952 Report, for example, we read:
'Members
of the Council are sometimes obliged, by their acceptance of
government posts in Washington and else where, to curtail or
suspend for a time their participation in Council
activities.'"
