UN Weapons Inspector Briefs Council on Foreign Relations
In an article for Reuters, Evelyn Leopold writes about UN weapons inspector Richard Butler's comments regarding American Intelligence use of arms teams as cover to spy on Iraq. Butler said he didn't know anything about it, but if the allegations were true then it was a serious matter. Leopold reports Butler made his comments regarding the UN at a Council of Foreign Relations seminar.
While many members of the Council on Foreign Relations make front page news, and are historical figures in their own time, the organization itself, is conspicuously absent from the history books and the news. While many people investigated and appearing as witnesses in connection to wrongdoings during the Church, Pike, Warren Commission, and Tower/Iran-Contra congressional investigations have been Council on Foreign Relations members, the Council on Foreign Relations has never been mentioned in the investigations or connected to the wrongdoings. Could this be because many of the Congressmen and Senators sitting on the investigation committees have also been Council on Foreign Relations members?
The Council on Foreign Relations has been the most powerful single influence in America, since its establishment after the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The Council on Foreign Relations runs the United States Department of State, the Central Intelligence Agency, and controls the Federal Reserve. The CFR has placed 100 Council members in every Presidential Administration since Woodrow Wilson. They work together to misinform and disinform the President to act in the best interest of the Council on Foreign Relations, not the best interest of the American People. At least five Presidents (Eisenhower, Ford, Carter, Bush, and Clinton) have been Council on Foreign Relations members. The Council on Foreign Relations has packed every Supreme court with Council on Foreign Relations insiders. Three CFR members (Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and Sandra Day O'Connor) sit on the supreme court..
Most CIA directors, Secretaries of State, Secretaries of Defense, and Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have been Council on Foreign Relations members. The men that established the Council on Foreign Relations in 1919 were responsible for the establishment of the League of Nations and were members of America's first intelligence organization the INQUIRY. The men who participated in the Council on Foreign Relations War and Peace Studies of 1939 took over the Department of State and were responsible for the Establishment of the United Nations.
As Butler indicates, if American Intelligence used arms teams as cover to spy on Iraq the matter is serious. If the operation was designed and directed by Council on Foreign Relations members in the state department and intelligence organizations that matter is even more serious.
Why is Richard Butler briefing the Council on Foreign Relations? Shouldn't Butler be briefing Congress?

> NEW YORK (Reuters) - Chief U.N. weapons inspector Richard Butler said Wednesday he had no knowledge that American intelligence used his arms teams as a cover to spy on Iraq, adding that it was a "serious problem" if that happened.
>
> "Can I know what I didn't know? No." Butler said. "Someone piggybacking on the back on us for their purposes? I don't know. I am going to try and find out what these facts are. I haven't yet got sufficient answers."
>
> Answering questions at a Council of Foreign Relations seminar, Butler warned the U.N. Security Council it would jeopardize numerous global arms treaties if it "lost the Iraqi case" by not insisting Baghdad relinquish its weapons of mass destruction.
>
> And he said Baghdad, if it wanted, could have launched another crash program to make biological weapons in the five months since his inspection teams functioned properly in Iraq.
>
> "They could have made a lot of that stuff," Butler said.
>
> Butler, executive chairman of the U.N. Special Commission (UNSCOM) in charge of dismantling Iraq's biological, chemical and ballistic weapons, was asked repeatedly about news reports saying the United States had spied on Iraqi military activities under the cover of UNSCOM.
>
> If that were the case, he said, "then we have a serious problem. But what I am concerned about is the implications for our ability to keep safe the nonproliferation regimes."
>
> Asked about the latest Washington Post report that the spying had gone on for three years, Butler said, "I didn't approve it."
>
> In a challenge to the U.N. Security Council, Butler said that using spying allegations to destroy arms inspections would invite infractions on other treaties, such as those concerning nuclear arms.
>
> "If we lose the Iraq case, we will jeopardize the belief that people have in the verifiability of the main arms control treaties," he said. "We must not lose the Iraq case."
>
> "The Security Council must be prepared to stand by the arms control treaties and in the face of serious violations, go to that state and say, 'We are on your case. We won't stand for it. Stop your behavior,"' Butler added.
>
> Within the 15-member council, its five permanent members are deadlocked over Iraqi policy, with the United States and Britain arguing to maintain the status quo and Russia, France and China advocating that UNSCOM be replaced by another arms control body and that stringent economic sanctions be eased.
>
> Butler, who has said he would leave his post when his contract expires in June, acknowledged that Baghdad had long accused UNSCOM of being a vehicle for U.S. spies and has vowed never to permit it to return to Iraq.
>
> In a spirited defense of UNSCOM, he said he believed inspectors were close to uncovering some new materials when they were first expelled last Oct. 31.
>
> "The logic suggests that were we right. We were getting very close. We were first and they threw us out," Butler said.
>
> He also sharply criticized Scott Ritter, the former American UNSCOM inspector who has revealed many of the commission's secrets, saying much of his information was wrong and calling him "a lose cannon who has done us serious harm."
>
> But he defended his American deputy, Charles Duelfer, who was alleged by the Washington Post to have known about the spying activities

Isn't time to contact your congressman and ask them to investigate the Council on Foreign Relations?

Title-50 War and National Defense § 783 states - "It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to combine, conspire, or agree with any other person to perform any act which would substantially contribute to the establishment within the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and control of which is to be vested in, or exercised by or under the domination of control of, any foreign government."
The Council on Foreign Relations are in violation of Title-50 War and National Defense § 783. The Council on Foreign Relations has unlawfully and knowingly combined, conspired, and agreed to substantially contribute to the establishment of one world order under the totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and the control of members of Council on Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and members of their branch organizations in various nations throughout the world. That is totalitarianism on a global scale.
