Wow, a CFR member. He'll fit right in with the secretive Bechtelians and their Bohemian Grove summer parties deep in the forest outside San Francisco! Does he attend the annual Bilderberg conferences, too?

Still believe that those who question these extremely secretive, very powerful and very profitable groups are all wearing "tin hats"?
