Colin Powell and Madeline Albright are. Care to show that the others are members? Having a site keep a bio on you or giving a speech to an organization does not make you a member. (What did Fred Thompson's link have anything to do with Council on Foreign Relations?)
And I didn't bother to click the YouTube links. Use a reliable source. |

haha, some times it's not good to over analyze things, but if we want to get into the specifics,
It IS under Leadership & Staff.. all those bios that you are saying doesn't make them involved. Also, if you were to look a little closer, maybe you could analyze it, too, you'd see that they've written for CFR, how interesting..
Dick Cheney admits being a member of CFR right here and he even admits being the director of it for a period, too.
http://www.cfr.org/publication.....3Fpage%3D2
"VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Well, Les, Pete, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome today. I see a lot of old friends in the room. And it’s good to be back at the Council on Foreign Relations. As Pete mentioned, I’ve been a member for a long time, and was actually a director for some period of time. I never mentioned that when I was campaigning for reelection back home in Wyoming (laughter) but it stood me in good stead."
John Edwards, co-chair of the task force:
http://www.cfr.org/publication/9997/#author
Borack, Guliani, and Romney have had their stuff published by CFR:
http://www.foreignaffairs.org/special/campaign2008
Just to make sure, I just e-mailed CFR asking for a list of members. |

Get back to the point that you never seem to have. So what if these political figures are members? See that's the problem you have with classic conspiracy theories - all you have is a list of names and a 'sly wink and nod of the head'. Like that somehow proves something. It doesn't even conjecture anything.
What are you saying? That Jerry Falwell, Dick Cheny, Barak Obama, John Edwards, Rudy Gulianni, Mitt Romney, etc etc etc are ALL out to destroy the soveriegnty of this nation because they are members of the CFR?
And just What planet are you from? |

They are helping push the North American Union you close your eyes to.
What are the problems with classic conspiracy theories? There are a lot of realistic conspiracy theories, the problem with you is that you've already conditioned yourself to think conspiracy theorists are kooks, even though you probably are one yourself, you just fail to realize it. |

I believe that all conspiracy theorists are kooks until they provide some thoughtful and serious evidence. This is why I think you are a kook, but do not think all 9/11 theorists are kooks (though I don't believe them either; they just make good arguments).
You realize you haven't provided a lick of proof other than to say "these people are part of it", right? |

And he hasn't given any shred of an idea of how these people who are part of "it" can "push" us into "losing our sovereignty".
Is there anything that doesn't scare you, Refused? I mean you are worried about this North American Union ... shouldn't you be more afraid of the leader of the North Pole who, apparently, has the capacity to circumnavigate the globe in a super fast stealth vehicle (or else NORAD is in on it!) and the capability to infiltrate any residence in the world. Now that is something to be concerned about. Bu-wah-ha-ha ... or should I say ho-ho-ho? |

Even the free trade agreements take away freedom from people. |

When you suspect that Al-Quieda has come to blow up America because they hate our freedom, that really is a conspiracy theory. Heck, the FBI can't even provide enough evidence Osama Bin Laden even did the attacks.
When someone suspects that poor people robbed a bank in order to get money, that's a conspiracy theory.
Are you saying that you're a kook? |

There's plenty of evidence that it was Al-Qaeda. So no, I am not a kook.
It's hilarious that you aren't even going to TRY and prove any of this. You're wasting my time. Good day. |

| I think refused is saying that the motive you've placed behind Al-Quaeda is wrong. |

And you see, there is a problem Refused may have - attributing action to motive. There is plenty of evidence that Al-Queda was behind the attacks on 911, no matter what their motive was. It isn't a conspiracy theory when there are facts you can point to.
Refused and Turk have only shown that some people are members of the CFR and that the CFR promotes trans-national governments. Those motives (for whatever motivates them) are not actions - there is no evidence of a shady illuminati hiding in the bowls of the CFR building acting to steal away our soveriegnty. THUS, it is a conspiracy theory. |
