Johnson's running mate, Weld, is CFR scum

This is the best book I know of about the CFR:
https://www.jbs.org/store/shopjbs/shadows-of-power

By James Perloff

James Perloff exposes the subversive roots and global designs of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Passed off as a think-tank, this group is the "power behind the throne," with hundreds of top-appointed government officials drawn from its ranks. Traces activity from the Wilson to Reagan administrations. Includes new 2015 CFR list (Council on Foreign Relations)

Don't forget Trump's connection to the Clinton crime family. They are so chummy together that he was invited to the exclusive Clinton daughter's wedding with all the elite CFR and neocon members.

I'd nearly forgotten that, Juleswin. Good point.

Who cares really. We are not going to win in a political system designed to suppress us.

If the LP ever got to the 15% mark and qualified to get in the debates, they would simply change the rules.
 
Ron often voted with and felt a connection with Dennis Kucinich, in fact a Paul/Kucinich ticket would be ideal, even though Kucinich is no libertarian.

Because it is the Think tank that influences great leaders like Hillary Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld, Madeline Albright and Dick Cheney. By influences, I mean tell them which wars the US should fight next using your sons and daughters and your tax money.

Trump Names President of Council on Foreign Relations as Top National Security Adviser
Click to expand...

During Thursday night's debate, when Donald Trump was asked by Megyn Kelly who he is listening to as top national security advisers, the first name Trump mentioned was Richard Haass.

Haass has been the president of the Council on Foreign Relations since July 2003, prior to which he was Director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State and a close advisor to Secretary of State Colin Powell.

So Trump wants Richard Haass, president of the CFR, to be his top national security advisor. So all the fake outrage from Trumpkins about William Weld being the chair of the CFR is... fake. Wuddayaknow?

He believes that maintaining a consistent interventionist or conversely non-interventionist foreign policy would be a mistake and that each situation requires a custom-fit approach.

In May 2013, I reported on a World Affairs Council private reception for Haass, in San Francisco:Yesterday, in San Francisco, I attended a World Affairs Council private reception for Richard Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations.


Haass is out with a new book, Foreign Policy Begins at Home: The Case for Putting America's House in Order. Don't get too excited about the title of the book. It's not as though he thinks the US should mind its own business and stay out of the affairs of other countries. At the reception, Haass discussed his views and, although he wants to see a strong domestic economy, his idea of a "foreign policy that begins at home" doesn't mean he is against United States interventions globally. Though he does want to see a shift in regional focus.

​
During the reception he said that the United States should stop its fixation with the "Greater Middle East." He said there are no great powers in the Middle East, thus less focus needs to be given to the region. He said the focus needs to be "dialed down." On the other hand, he said the US should "dial up" involvement in Asia, with more of a military presence in the area and more diplomatic dialogue.

So we should "dial down" the Middle East so we can get involved in a military presence in Asia? Hmm... :(
​
He said that the US can influence the area in a way favorable to its interests. He said, get this, "I don't want to leave Asia to the Asians." He compared Asia to early 20th century Europe, when Europe was the epicenter of world wars. He suggested the same could now occur in Asia. He implied that China was unstable and stated that more than 100,000 major protests are occurring in China each year.

​
He said Pakistan deeply troubled him, that the country has enormous problems. He contrasted the concern over Iran, which is just trying to build a nuclear bomb, and North Korea, which has 11 nuclear bombs, as minor compared to Pakistan, which has hundreds of nuclear weapons, some completed and others that soon will be completed...

​
So we need to get out of the Middle East so we can get involved in nation building in Pakistan? OMG.


Haass said there is nothing obvious that the US can do about the Syrian situation. He said that if Assad is taken out, the problem becomes one of a replacement and that given the various factions, a long civil war would be likely. He said he is against sending troops to Syria, but seemingly in contradiction to the complex problems he saw if Assad is overthrown, he said he was in favor of arming opposition to Assad.

​
BTW, Even Trump's answer on Afghanistan and its importance because of its border with Pakistan suggests Haass influence

Of course it does. Trump himself doesn't know anything about world affairs. He's said it himself: he'd rely on his foreign policy advisors. Like the good Mr. Haass. :eek:
 
I knew that Trump had mentioned Haas when he was pushed for a name. I wasn't at all happy about it, haven't forgotten it and have been keeping a close eye on his foreign policy. If it looks like Haas, or any CFR member will be involved in a Trump administration, I will not be voting for him. I feel that strongly about it.

Note: It has always seemed to me that all potential candidates who have a snowball's chance, are confronted with accepting an Insider as a running-mate or other close "advisor". I remember when Reagan was running. He promised that he wouldn't choose an Insider as VP and then voila, Daddy Bush, the consummate Insider. Goldwater-conservatives were not pleased at all.

Now, back to Johnson and his CFR running-mate....

Yep, he will even outsource his own job:

Oh look who's going all "conspiracy theory" on us now. Don't go embarrassing Rand with all this stuff on this website LE. You're going to make us Rand supporters look like loons. :rolleyes:

Rand is no longer running. Try to keep up. And as Ron said, it's not a conspiracy theory at all. It's very real.

Yeah, I can't stand him. Is he a member of the CFR, or did he just present there? Honestly, I don't know. But, there is a huge difference. Regardless, I agree that Christie is a piece of crap.

Kinda like how Rand Paul met with Bill Kristol, but Rand isn't a neocon.

How is it that you think this somehow magically makes Weld a great guy? This thread is about Weld, by the way. If you want to start your 300th Trump thread, go do it. But, this thread isn't the place for it. Thanks.

Rand is running for re-election to his Senate seat. Did you miss that? (Some people think 9/11 was an inside job too....I believe in conspiracy theories. You're the one who used to come unhinged.)

Why don't you include where I also said that I will not be, if he chooses a CFR running-mate. Try being honest.
Click to expand...

But you're just fine with him choosing a CFR foreign policy advisor (and several other neocon advisors, like Walid Phares).

And with him having supported the Iraq and Libya Wars, the PATRIOT Act, NSA spying, etc (i.e. the whole CFR program post 9/11)?

It's only if he selects a CFR member as a running mate that you'd become concerned?

It doesn't make Weld a great guy, people are posting Trump's CFR connection to point out the irony of a Trump booster using CFR connections in attacking another politician, a politician almost nobody on this website supports.
