The brain trust for implementing the Fabian plan in America is called the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). We shall look at it closely in future chapters, but it is important to know at this point that almost all of America's leadership has come from this small group. That includes our presidents and their advisers, cabinet members, ambassadors, board members of the Federal Reserve System, directors of the largest banks and investment houses, presidents of universities, and heads of metropolitan newspapers, news services, and TV networks.2 It is not an exaggeration to describe this group as the hidden government of the United States.

CFR members have never been shy about calling for the

weakening of America as a necessary step toward the greater good of building world government. One of the CFR founders was John Foster Dulles, who later was appointed Secretary-of-State by CFR

member Dwight Eisenhower. In 1939, Dulles said:

Some dilution or leveling off of the sovereignty system as itprevails in the world today must take place ... to the immediatedisadvantage of those nations which now possess the preponderanceof power.... The establishment of a common money ... would depriveour government of exclusive control over a national money.... TheUnited States must be prepared to make sacrifices afterward in settingup a world politico-economic order which would level off inequalitiesof economic opportunity with respect to nations.3

CFR member Zbigniew Brzezinski was the National Security

Adviser to CFR member Jimmy Carter. In 1970, Brzezinski wrote:

... some international cooperation has already been achieved, butfurther progress will require greater American sacrifices. Moreintensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have tobe undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relativelyfavorable American position.4

BUILDING THE NEW WORLD ORDER

111

At the Spring, 1983, Economic Summit in Williamsburg, Virginia, President Ronald Reagan declared:

National economies need monetary coordination mechanisms,and that is why an integrated world economy needs a commonmonetary standard.... But, no national currency will do—only a worldcurrency will work.

The CFR strategy for convergence of the world's monetary

systems was spelled out by Harvard Professor Richard N. Cooper, a CFR member who had been the Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs in the Carter Administration:

I suggest a radical alternative scheme for the next century: thecreation of a common currency for all of the industrial democracies, with acommon monetary policy and a joint Bank of Issue to determine that monetarypolicy.... How can independent states accomplish that? They need toturn over the determination of monetary policy to a supranationalbody. [Emphasis in original]...
