• Council Of Foreign Relations presidential scorecard

    From Pluted Pup@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 29 19:11:53 2024
    There hasn't been a posted list since last
    century of presidential members of the
    Council Of Foreign Relations, present and
    past. It used to be, and perhaps still is,
    pigeon holed as a Right Wing Issue, so the
    less shady, more reputable types shied away from
    the issue, because we are all told that high
    powered organizations of free trade militants
    are supposed to be a complete non-issue to every
    one else.

    Here's the scorecard as I recall:

    to 1975, Nixon: outsider
    1975 Ford: CFR
    1976 Carter: CFR
    1980 Reagan: outsider
    1984 Reagan: outsider
    1988 Bush: CFR
    1992 Clinton: CFR
    1996 Clinton: CFR
    2000 Bush: CFR
    2004 Bush: CFR
    2008 Obama: outsider
    2012 Obama: outsider
    2016 Trump: outsider
    2020 Biden: CFR
    2024 ?: outsider

    and the 2024 for election the leading candidates are
    both outsiders? Is Harris really a non-member, doesn't
    she stand for the Party Of Free Trade? Corrections
    to this notion that she is a non-member are welcome.

    Course the scorecard doesn't mean they weren't surrounded by
    members, Trump primarily giving lipservice against the
    free trade criminals, and the "anti-Trump" corporate activists,
    unanimously as always, condemning (and "ironically" endorsing) Trump
    as the very personification of the dissenting idea of
    skepticism to the utopian claim that "free trade is paradise".
