                                REVENGE OF THE CFR by Barry Chamish

       Here is a short list of CFR members who have shoved the Oslo/Roadmap 
processes down Israel's throat, resulting in thousands of dead Israelis and 
Arabs in barely ten years, not to mention the total demoralization of 
Israel and the mass insanity of its Islamic neighbors:

Clinton, Christopher, Baker, Albright, Zinni, Powell, Rice, Kurtzer, 
Seigman, Bronfman, Tenet, Haass, Friedman, Stephen Cohen, Carter, Armitage, 
Burns, Wolfowitz, Berger, etc. etc.

        Oh yes, and Pipes, but he's pretending otherwise for the time 
being. That is why he spends much of his waking hours plotting to eliminate 
my voice. Imagine the nerve of me pointing out that he is a proud member of 
the little think tank that could wreck Israel and is leaving a trail of 
blood throughout the Middle East.
         Now let us look at just how tied up he is to the CFR establishment:

**

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/org/mef.php
The Middle East Forum has existed since 1990, but in 1994 it became a 
nonprofit organization with Daniel Pipes as its director.
MEF is closely linked to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, 
where Pipes is an adjunct scholar. Patrick Clawson of the Washington 
Institute for Near East Policy is senior editor of MEF's Middle East 
Quarterly, and the institute's Robert Satloff and Samuel Lewis sit on the 
Quarterly's editorial board, along with Fouad Ajami of Johns Hopkins, 
Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, 
James Phillips of the Heritage Foundation, and Steven Plaut of the 
University of Haifa.

** I have thoughtfully provided a list of CFR members. Visit the site and 
confirm the facts. Now we all know that the Washington Institute For Near 
East Policy is the Martin Indyk - run monstrosity that became the 
locomotive for Oslo, so considering his public stance on Israel, Pipes' 
chair there is suspicious enough, but let's look at his own board:

 From the 2001, Membership Roster Of The Council On Foreign Relations **
http://www.stanley2002.org/pfiles/a_f.htm

Robert B. Satloff - CFR
Samuel W. Lewis - CFR
Anthony H. Cordesman - CFR

** Continuing... **

"Virtually all 31 signatories of the MEF report, which was used to persuade 
Congress to introduce and pass the Syria Accountability and Lebanese 
Sovereignty Restoration Act in 2003, were USCFL members, and several became 
high officials or advisers in the Bush foreign policy team, including 
Elliott Abrams, Paula Dobriansky, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and David 
Wurmser."

Elliot Abrams - CFR
Paula J. Dobriansky - CFR
Richard Perle - CFR
Douglas J. Feith - CFR

** Now look at the final name on Pipe's MEF board: why it's that pesky 
economics teacher from Haifa! Could that mean that the big fish and little 
minnow are coordinating their attacks against me? And what does the little 
minnow get for his effort?
     You can be sure, there is a reward but it's not membership in the CFR. 
Searching his name
I came across one other namesake:

Peter Plaut, Managing Director and Head of European Credit Research, BANK 
OF AMERICA SECURITIES LTD.

         He is not merely on the CFR members' list, he is also one of its 
biggest donors.

http://www.cfr.org/about/pdf/ar_2003/termmember.pdf.

          I tried but couldn't prove a family tie to the minnow, But I'll 
bet you there is and it's close. But even if not, the story of Peter Plaut 
bears telling. Here's who he is: **

http://www.euromoney.com/?Page=792&P=/creditresearchpoll2004/hyOVERALL

In addition, he was responsible for helping the Korean and Malaysian 
governments re-establish capital markets access through their highly 
successful global debt offerings during this difficult time. He was also 
credited with anticipating the debt and currency crisis in Brazil and other 
Latin American sovereigns in late 1998.

Mr. Plaut worked at UBS Securities Inc. from 1992 to 1994, as a U.S. and 
international corporate and bank credit analyst and prior to that was an 
associate at JP Morgan Securities, Inc.

Mr. Plaut has been in Institutional Investor ranked analyst. In June 1998, 
he was elected as a term member to The Council on Foreign Relations and 
currently serves as an active participant in issues concerning U.S. and 
international economic and foreign policy.

** Lucky old Pete, he gets to bail out countries after the IMF has 
bankrupted them. And since JP Morgan was a founder of the CFR, naturally he 
gets to manipulate currencies for his bank while he's at it. But that's not 
all, look who was in Singapore, Malaysia's financial headquarters, when 
Pete was sorting out their World Bank debts. Why it was old Tom Plaut. And 
need we say that he also works for a JP Morgan affiliate?**

Thomas F. Plaut
Mr. Plaut brings sixteen years of foreign exchange trading experience to 
F.X. Solutions. He is a former Member of Senior Management at Credit Suisse 
A.G. and Global Head of Proprietary Trading at Dresdner Bank A.G. While at 
Credit Suisse and stationed in Singapore, Mr. Plaut was in charge of all 
foreign exchange trading activities in the Asian region.

FX Solutions currently holds client funds at JP Morgan Chase bank.

** How the Plauts diddle with the tills of nations while their peoples 
starve. Yes, Peter must be a very important component of the CFR's global 
economics plan. But then, so is Pipes, diplomatically. Look how the CFR 
funnels him the money he needs to carry on. **

Funding
Between 1996 and 1998, the Middle East Forum received $130,000 from the 
Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, one of the top right wing foundations. (9)

Foundation Excels at Fueling Conservative Agenda
Name a conservative idea -- whether it's school vouchers, faith-based 
initiatives or the premise that there's a worldwide clash of civilizations 
-- and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is apt to have its 
fingerprints on it.

Milwukee Journal Sentinel
April 3, 2003
Bradley Fighting Vehicle
A comprehensive new report makes clear the foundation's import in the 
feeding and nurturing of the Neoconservative Movement that has led the US 
to war in the Middle East.
It directly ascribes the war on Iraq to the "playbook" of the neocons, a 
group of "mostly Republicans," "many of whom have gotten funding from 
Milwaukee's Bradley Foundation."
A Newly Enriched Foundation Hires Chairman
Things changed dramatically in 1985, when the Allen-Bradley Company was 
sold to Rockwell International, a leading defense and aerospace 
conglomerate, for a whopping $1.651 billion. The Foundation benefited 
heavily from the sale, seeing its assets shoot up overnight from less than 
$14 million to more than $290 million, catapulting it into the ranks of the 
country's largest foundations. At that point its name was changed to the 
Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, to publicly separate it from the 
company. Flush with new money and an understanding that they were now 
poised to play a more national role, foundation trustees decided it was 
time to hire a professional to run the organization. They found their man 
in New York at the John M. Olin Foundation.

** Now I flip to page 106 of my 2000 CFR Annual Report which lists 
foundations that offered generous grants to the CFR and right after The 
Norwegian Ministry Of Foreign Affairs comes, surprise, surprise The John M. 
Olin Foundation. I said previously that I'd prove Pipes gets his money 
directly or indirectly from the CFR and I just did.
     Now would you trust him with YOUR country? **
