Globalist ‘clubs’ for the arrogant elite

By Jon Dougherty

This past weekend WorldNetDaily posted a link to a story that provided
“insider” details on the latest Bilderberg meeting held in Europe last
summer. According to the story, participants discussed world financial
issues and issues concerning war and peace, among others.

Globalists who belong to this “club” – along with the Trilateral
Commission,
the secretive Illuminati and the
Council on Foreign Relations
all have one distinct character flaw. Everyone of them are arrogant enough
to believe that because they have a few bucks or a position of relative
authority, they somehow have inherited the “right” to make policies and
decisions that could affect everybody else on the planet.

Governments, in and of themselves, don’t interest these haughty souls.
They live under a different rubric.

For example, they care not who makes the laws in a country for they
believe those who control the money control the power. Too often they’re
right – and that includes the United States, for those of you who still
think your own politician is somehow “above” that sort of thing.

Well, I’m here to tell the card-carrying, hubristic egomaniacs who belong
to these organizations that you do not have a right to make decisions
about my life. You can join as many of these “clubs” as you want – I
couldn’t care less how you spend your weekends.

But for me, I’ll take a democratically elected government any day. They
aren’t perfect, mind you, but the sovereignty they offer interests me much
more than the kind of serf-in-a-fiefdom relationship these organizations
routinely support.

Besides, the various “conspiracy theories” surrounding these people and
their organizations also interest me far less than the answers to a few
simple questions: What motivates such people into believing they are heirs
apparent to positions of presumed authority over me? Furthermore, what kind
of personality trait makes one believe he has an inherent right to even sit
down and discuss the future of the world’s people, without being elected to
do so? What “qualifies” a person to even imagine he or she has this right?

It can’t be simple dollars and cents – there are loads of wealthy folks
who want (and have) nothing to do with these egotistical few. It can’t be
education because lots of smart people with better education and a
higher IQ have nothing to do with these organizations. And it can’t just be
political power because many politicians who are considered somewhat
more powerful than their peers don’t belong to these groups.

So what is it? A combination of these elements? Perhaps.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations, their goal – and,
ostensibly, the goal of the other globalist clubs – is “to keep the United
States engaged in the world.” To perpetuate itself, CFR attempts to “find
and nurture the next generation of foreign policy leaders and thinkers” by
offering “a special term membership program for younger Americans and a
‘Next Generation Fellows’ program that brings outstanding younger scholars
onto the Council staff, as well as the International Affairs Fellowships and
several other fellowship programs. These programs aim to spark interest and
participation in world affairs and U.S. foreign policy.”

Ho-hum, right? Well, not so fast.

Despite the rosy rhetoric and the adamant conspiracy denials, you have to
remember that the one thing binding these people together is arrogance. They
really believe, for instance, that they have every right to decide how an
entire nation should or should not engage in international affairs. Worse,
they don’t think our opinions matter. “Normal” people cannot imagine such
self-importance, but to these globalists, their arrogant natures form the
core of what they are about.

Now, factor in the world’s preeminent experiment in liberty and freedom.

However good, bad or indifferent, in this country we have a
Congress, a judicial branch and a president who are elected to decide –
based on the subjective approval of the American people – what this
country’s international role ought to be.

That is our “ace in the hole.” It should not matter what a few spoiled,
anointed elitists think because you can bet your stock options they’re only
going to suggest foreign policy initiatives that enrich their own lives and
expand their own base of power.

That is the only reason why these organizations exist – because
they seek to use their relative power to unethically and subversively
influence the manner and degree our country addresses global issues. They’re
trying to “buy” favorable foreign policy.

Having said that, I write this column not so much to debunk the relevance
of these people and their sponsoring organizations because, indeed, they are
“powerful” in the sense that their members hold authoritative positions of
influence in their respective countries and industries. We can’t change
that; there will always be a few anointed people with power and money who
get together and collectively dream of ruling the world.

More importantly, however, I write this column to confirm and explain the
existence of these groups, and the danger they represent to American liberty
and freedom. Theirs are not organizations that suffer “democracy” or the
burden of allowing “we the people” to choose our own destiny.

I also write it to inform readers that these conceited few are hopelessly
globalist in nature – America alone, with its vast opportunity and richness,
isn’t good enough for them. They want it all.

Finally, I write this column to put these people and their globalist
sponsors on notice that despite their own illusions of grandeur, they have
no claim to my sovereignty or the destiny of the United States of America.
Those characteristics collectively belong to all the people – including
them, but not excluding us.

So the next time you hear that a popular politician, media figure,
financial leader or public servant is “addressing” one of these groups or is
a member of one, commit it to memory and “red flag” it. Now you know what
membership in one of these organizations actually means and as a patriotic
American you should hold them in contempt.

After all, that’s how they hold you.
