<p>Is it "democratic" for a very small organization to have such a predominant role in American politics for over 50 years no matter what political party is in the White House?</p>
<p>Just consider a few of the names that have been or are currently members of the Council on Foreign Relations....</p>
<p>Bill Clinton</p>
<p>Dick Cheney</p>
<p>David Rockefeller</p>
<p>Timothy Geithner</p>
<p>Henry Paulson</p>
<p>Alan Greenspan</p>
<p>Zbigniew Brzezinski</p>
<p>World Bank President Robert Zoellick</p>
<p>Henry Kissinger</p>
<p>Condoleeza Rice</p>
<p>Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsberg</p>
<p>Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer</p>
<p>George Soros</p>
<p>Michael Bloomberg</p>
<p>Katie Couric</p>
<p>Brian Williams</p>
<p>Diane Sawyer</p>
<p>Tom Brokaw</p>
<p>George H.W. Bush</p>
<p>And the list could go on and on. </p>
<p>The Council on Foreign Relations does not even try to hide the fact that it is slowly pushing the United States towards a "global economy", a "global marketplace", a "global religion" and "global governance".</p>
<p>But if the fact that large numbers of high ranking members of every single U.S. presidential administration since the end of World War 2 have been coming from a single organization that is pushing a radical globalist agenda doesn't bother you, then just go back to sleep. </p>
<p>But if you actually care about what is going on in American politics, you might want to pay attention.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the CFR is likely to put out even more propaganda videos like the following to convince us just how "good" and "wonderful" they really are....</p>

<p>But there is a problem.  In fact, there is a big problem.  You see, the "freedom movement" is horribly plagued by infighting.  Instead of focusing on the key issues and problems that should concern us all, many who have gotten involved are focusing most of their energy on fighting others in the freedom movement.  But the truth is that if we are all constantly infighting with one another, then we are not going to stand a chance against the scientifically-crafted tyranny that the globalists are imposing upon us.</p>
<p>But so many people feel that they have to be "right" about every little thing.  So many people want to be the "special one" that has it all figured out.  So many people are jealous of the "stars" in the freedom movement, when the truth is that the "stars" often end up making the biggest sacrifices on behalf of all of us.</p>
<p>It is really sad to see people who are supposed to be standing up for freedom relentlessly attacking men like Alex Jones or Steve Quayle who have sacrificed so much and have worked so hard and so long to expose the agenda of the globalists.  Most people in the freedom movement will never have any idea of what these men have been through. </p>
<p>And yet almost daily you will find others who claim to be patriots just ripping them to shreds.  Well, you know what?  It is not the end of the world if someone does not agree with you on every single little point.  If you are waiting for someone who perfectly agrees with you 100 percent of the time on every little issue then you are going to be waiting a long, long time.</p>
<p>Nobody is perfect.  You are not perfect.  I am not perfect.  If you think that are so "special" that you have the right to criticize everyone else in the freedom movement, there is something I want you to think about.  What would it be like if the spotlight was suddenly turned on you?</p>
<p>Perhaps that is what you are looking for.  Perhaps you would be very excited about being in the spotlight.  But before you get too excited, I want you to read what we wrote  about what it means to "be in the spotlight" <a href="http://whatdoesthebiblesayabout.com/archives/what-does-the-bible-say-about-salvation">in an article on one of our other sites</a>.... </p>
<p><em>Take a moment and imagine this - one of the biggest television networks wants to do a huge 2 hour prime time special starring you.</em></p>
<p><em>Doesn't that sound great?</em></p>
<p><em>But instead of a two hour documentary about how wonderful you are, the network has discovered all of the most evil and horrible things that you have ever thought, said or did and they are going to broadcast them to millions of people all over the world for two hours during prime time.</em></p>
<p><em>What would you do if that happened?</em></p>
<p><em>That reality is that whoever that happened to would want to run away and never show their face to anyone ever again.</em></p>
<p>The truth is that none of us is perfect.</p>
<p>Not even close.</p>
<p>So why try to rip apart and tear down those who are trying to stand up for your freedom?</p>
<p>The freedom movement is ultimately not going to do much good if it does not learn how to stand together.</p>
<p>It would do us all well to heed the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:25....</p>
<p><em>Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand</em></p>
<p>And the truth is that a lot of the people who are causing all of this infighting are actually agents and infiltrators who are seeking to stir things up.</p>
<p>You see, there are two primary ways that you can identify infiltrators - they try to get people in the movement fighting with each other or they advocate violence against someone else.</p>
<p>Don't have anything to do with those kinds of people.</p>
<p>Instead, we need to learn how to love one another.</p>
<p>It's really that simple.</p>
<p>The words that Jesus spoke in John 13:34 are as true today as they ever have been....</p>
<p><em>A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.</em></p>
<p>So the next time you are tempted to criticize someone in the freedom movement, ask yourself first if you love them.</p>
<p>If you cannot honestly say that you are willing to love them, then perhaps you are the one who has the problem that needs to be corrected.</p>
<p>Everyone is not always going to agree with you on every little issue.  If you can only work with "perfect" people then you are not going to be able to work with anyone.  It should be enough that others are willing to stand up for basic human freedom just as you are.</p>
<p>The truth is that we are rapidly moving into the darkest times in all of human history.  A horrific worldwide big brother control grid is being constructed that threatens to take away all of our freedoms.  We are literally looking at the end of the world as we know it.  If those who love freedom cannot learn to love one another and stand with one another then this thing is going to steamroll right over us. </p>
<p>It is time to wake up.  Time is running out.</p>

<p><a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Hate.jpg"></a><a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Proud-To-Be-An-American.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-139" title="Proud To Be An American" src="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Proud-To-Be-An-American-161x107.jpg" alt="" width="161" height="107" /></a>Today the United States is facing environmental, social and economic problems that are absolutely unprecedented.  There is a crying need for the American people to pull together to work on these huge challenges, but instead of focusing on solutions to our problems, an increasing number of Americans are getting angrier and angrier and are looking for someone to blame.  Today we are increasingly becoming a divided nation.  Kindness and civility have been replaced with strife, discord, anger and hate.  Finding solutions to our problems has taken a back seat to making sure that "our team" wins and that the "other team" gets blamed for what is wrong.  But arguing with one another and hating one another is not going to solve the problems that America is facing. </p>
<p>The following are 12 huge problems that Americans need to come together on and start facing before it is too late....</p>
<p>#1) The Great Pacific Garbage Patch - We are literally filling the Pacific Ocean up with our garbage.  In fact, there is one area of the Pacific that is so full of plastic and other garbage that it has become known as <a href="http://howtohelpsavetheenvironment.com/archives/the-great-pacific-garbage-patch-the-environmental-horror-in-the-pacific-ocean">The Great Pacific Garbage Patch</a>.  This area of the Pacific Ocean is literally a "toxic soup" of plastic, trash and human waste that is about twice the size of the continental United States and that stretches from Hawaii to Japan.  The devastation that all of this garbage is causing to wildlife is unimaginable and we will likely never be able to completely clean up the mess that we have made so far, and yet our polluting of the oceans just keeps getting worse.  How will we ever be able to look future generations in the eye and tell them what we have done?</p>
<p>#2) Americans use more water than anyone else in the world and now the United States finds itself on the verge <a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/archives/water-crisis-we-cant-live-without-water-and-the-united-states-is-quickly-running-out-of-it">of a massive water crisis</a>.  The number of states facing a water crisis is now far greater than the number of states without one.  In fact, a total of 36 states are projected to face severe water shortages in the next three years.</p>
<p>#3) Even the water that we do have is rapidly becoming highly polluted.  One stunning new study has found <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.naturalnews.com');" href="http://www.naturalnews.com/028066_drinking_water_hormones.html" target="_blank">significant levels of both pharmaceutical drugs and illegal drugs in our water supplies</a> despite "rigorous" efforts to remove them at water treatment facilities.</p>
<p>#4) By using nuclear waste (depleted uranium) to fight our wars, the United States military is causing one of the greatest environmental horrors <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/depleted-uranium-one-of-the-greatest-environmental-horrors-in-the-history-of-the-world">in the history of the world</a>.  In fact, not only have the air, water and soil in many areas of Iraq and Afghanistan been highly contaminated by depleted uranium, but also it has come out that depleted uranium munitions <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/depleted-uranium-one-of-the-greatest-environmental-horrors-in-the-history-of-the-world">are slowly nuking our own troops</a>.  Something must be done to address this environmental nightmare. </p>
<p>#5) Unemployment in some areas of the United States has spiked to alarming levels.  In fact, the mayor of Detroit says that the real unemployment rate in his city is somewhere in the neighborhood <a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/archives/ground-zero-for-the-american-nightmare-unemployment-is-now-at-45-percent-in-detroit">of 45 to 50 percent</a>.  If people are not put back to work soon, many cities in the U.S. could find themselves overwhelmed with homelessness and crime.</p>
<p>#6) The economic crisis is also causing <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/sjlendman.blogspot.com');" href="http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/02/growing-hunger-in-america.html" target="_blank">a sharp rise</a> in the number of Americans that are going hungry.  In fact, more than one out of every 10 Americans <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.mybudget360.com');" href="http://www.mybudget360.com/banking-and-housing-payments-devoured-the-middle-class-income-%e2%80%93-1-out-of-10-americans-on-food-stamps-and-how-the-fed-slowly-devalued-the-dollars-in-your-wallet/" target="_blank">is now on food stamps</a> and each month that number is increasing.</p>
<p>#7) Already, crime is at near epidemic levels in many areas of the United States.  Every year there are <a href="http://thepersonalsecurity.com/archives/the-united-states-leads-the-world-in-one-unfortunate-statistical-category-crime">nearly 12 million crimes</a> committed in the U.S. - that is by far the worst in the world.  But how many more people can the U.S. possibly put in prison?  There are already over 2.2 million people in prison in the United States, which is the most by far in the world.  In fact, the United States has just 5% of the world's population, but 25% of the world's incarcerated population.  Something needs to be done to find a sustainable solution to this massive problem.</p>
<p>#8) Law enforcement officials now estimate that approximately 600,000 Americans <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.lifesitenews.com');" href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/feb/09020610.html">are trading dirty child pictures online</a>.  In addition, there are now <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/16-cold-hard-facts-that-prove-that-america-has-become-a-nation-full-of-perverts-and-predators">over 400,000 registered sex offenders</a> in the United States.  How can a nation that is as great as ours produce so many people that are so dysfunctional?  Something must be done to fight this epidemic.</p>
<p>#9) Mortgage defaults have continued to hit record highs and housing prices have continued to fall.  Now, a gigantic <a href="http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/housing-crash-part-2-a-massive-second-wave-of-mortgages-reset-starting-in-2010">"second wave"</a> of adjustable rate mortgages is scheduled to reset beginning this year.  If the first wave of mortgage resets brought the U.S. housing market to a standstill, what will this second round do?</p>
<p>#10) A huge wave of Baby Boomers is on the verge of retirement and they are counting on collecting their pensions and drawing Social Security payments.  However, most pensions throughout the United States <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2010/01/20/united-states-debt-10-business-wall-street-united-states-debt.html?feed=rss_popstories">are now massively underfunded</a>, and the Social Security system is a ticking timebomb.  In fact, many analysts are now forecasting that the Baby Boomers are <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.cnbc.com');" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/34941334" target="_blank">going to bankrupt</a> the entire Social Security system.</p>
<p>#11) This all comes at a time when the U.S. national debt is spiralling out of control.  The official debt of the U.S. government is now over 12 trillion dollars and it is rising at a rate <a href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/14-fun-facts-about-the-u-s-governments-massive-debt-problem">of about 3.8 billion dollars per day</a>.  So how much is a trillion dollars?  Well, if you spent one dollar every single second of every single day, it would take you over 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars.</p>
<p>#12) Lastly, one of the biggest problems is that an increasing number of Americans no longer treat their fellow citizens with civility and respect.  We are being taught that if we belong to one particular group or political party that we are to automatically view those from other groups or political parties as enemies.  Anger and hate is growing not only at the government but also at each other.  If we choose to hate each other instead of loving one another, then we will never be able to come together and solve all of the problems listed above. </p>
<p>Let's make the right choice.</p>
<p>Let's decide that we are going to love one another.</p>
