Part IV - INCIDENTS TRACED TO THE CFR

The following incidents are but a few that have been traced to CFR
manipulation.  The list is extensive and it continues daily.

THE LUSITANIA AND WORLD WAR I: This British Oceanliner, sailing from American
to Britain, was deliberately sent in the vicinity of a German U-boat with her
escorts withdrawn.  The Lusitania was carrying six million rounds of ammunition
plus other munitions to Britain.  This is why Germany wanted to sink her.  The
U-boat hit her with one torpedo.  Due to internal explosions, she sank in just
eighteen minutes, with 128 Americans perishing.  This, more than any other
incident, is said to be responsible for bringing America into WWI.  (The
Lusitania - Colin Simpson)

THE GREAT DEPRESSION:  F.D.R. did much to indulge his mentors.  In 1934, he
took America off the Gold Standard, setting the stage for unrestrained
expansion of the money supply, leading to decades of inflation, and decades of
credit revenue for his friend in finance.  Best remembered for his NEW DEAL, a
large portion of his work force was unemployed.  Not having enough tax revenue
to pay for his programs, the government turned to its source of borrowing, the
FEDERAL RESERVE.  The international bankers created the DEPRESSION and were now
loaning America the money to recover from it.  Naturally the interest on these
loans would be borne on the backs of taxpayers for years to come.

  Impoverished Americans then, as now, were only too happy to accept money
  dangled by the President without any contemplation of its origins and
  consequences.  To this day, many Americans do not perceive that when they
  accept federal aid, they invariably surrender a degree of freedom or
  control.

THE RISE OF HITLER:  Germany had to repay war reparations after WWI.  The
International bankers, seeing profit in this situation came up with their
"usual" study group and formed the Dawes and Young Plans (named after CFR
members).  Massive loans (using U.S. citizen monies) were made to three large
corporations, of which I.G.Farben was one.  These three companies became the
backbone of the NAZI war machine and the rise of Hitler.  I.G.Farben became the
largest chemical corp. in the world.  It was later found, Farben produced the
deadly Zyklon B gas used by Hitler to exterminate the Jews.  This tie of
Americans to German fascism has been avoided by the U.S. mass media.  (Wall
Street and the Rise of Hitler - Sutton)

WORLD WAR II:  The CFR was interested in exploiting this war as they had the
first, to use as justification for a "world government."  This exploiting later
became a crude form of the United Nations, predominantly the creation of the
CFR.  Activities were set in motion to goad Japan into firing the first shot.
A trade embargo was recommended an enacted.  Japan's American assets were then
frozen.  But the final "slap in the face" came when the U.S. sent Japan an
ultimatum.  We demanded withdrawal of all her troops from China and Indochina.

There is much documentation that Roosevelt, his Army Chief of Staff George
Marshall, and U.S. Ambassador to Japan had prior knowledge of the surprise
attack on Pearl Harbor.  American military intelligence had cracked the radio
code used by Tokyo and picked up their messages to their embassies on a daily
basis.  Despite this, no alert was passed on to our soldiers in Pearl Harbor.
(Infamy: Pearl Harbor and Its Aftermath - John Toland)

VIETNAM:  No declaration of war by Congress.  The heavy military restriction
placed on our soldier were recently declassified in the "Congressional Record"
in 1985.  They were listed as:

  1.  Air Force denied permission to bomb strategic targets.
  2.  Not to fire until fired upon.
  3.  Vehicles more than two hundred yards off the Ho Chi Minh Trail could 
  not be bombed.  The enemy had only to temporarily divert to avoid being
  bombed.
  4.  A North Vietnam MIG could not be struck on a runway, only if airborne
  and showing hostile intent.
  5.  Missile sites could not be bombed while under construction, only after
  they were up and operational.
  6.  Enemy forces could not be pursued if they crossed over into Laos or
  Cambodia, giving them a safe sanctuary.
  7.  We could not bomb industries, canals, and dams, etc.

We certainly couldn't interdict the enemy's supply lines.  After all, we were
indirectly enriching them by the items we were supplying the soviets.  They
were listed as non-strategic, but strategic they were indeed.  In turn, the
Soviets supplied North Vietnam with 80% of their wartime supplies.  This is a
list of the "so-called" non-strategic items:

  OIL, RUBBER, ALUMINUM, TIRES, AIR NAVIGATION EQUIPMENT, DIESEL FUEL,
  GROUND AND MARINE RADAR, COMPUTERS, TRUCK AND AUTO PARTS, RIFLE CLEANING
  COMPOUNDS, ELECTRIC MOTORS, AND ETHYLENE GLYCOL USED IN MAKING
  EXPLOSIVES.

THE KOREAN WAR was essentially the same type of war.  It had not been
officially declared by Congress, and heavy restrictions were also placed upon
our military.

Over one particular incident, General MacArthur said: "I realized for the first
time that I had been denied the use of my full military power to safeguard the
lives of my soldiers and the safety of my army.  To me, it clearly foreshadowed
a future tragic situation in Korea, and left me with a sense of inexpressible
shock."
