In a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) on Wednesday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton outlined the Obama administration’s foreign policy, which has been widely touted as a sharp break from that of his predecessor’s. Judging from commentary in the media, Obama has ushered in a new age of diplomacy and international engagement. Clinton herself suggested as much.

| The CFR itself is among the prominent means by which these narrow interests perpetuate themselves. Clinton, herself a member, made some telling offhand remarks before beginning her scripted speech. | |
But setting aside the platitudes that comprised most of Clinton’s speech and looking closely at her remarks that actually spoke meaningfully towards U.S. policy under the Obama, a different picture emerges, one not of a change of course from Bush but rather of near perfect continuity between the two administrations.
Obama’s foreign policy parallels Bush’s. The train may have switched tracks, but it’s still headed in the same direction.
Take, for starters, the framework Clinton established early on in her speech. “Liberty, democracy, justice and opportunity underlie our priorities”, she said. “Some accuse us of using these ideals to justify actions that contradict their very meaning. Others say we are too often condescending and imperialistic, seeking only to expand our power at the expense of others. And yes, these perceptions have fed anti-Americanism, but they do not reflect who we are.”
See, U.S. foreign policy doesn’t really contradict enlightened rhetoric and declarations of benevolent intent from policy makers. The U.S. isn’t really condescending or imperialistic. It doesn’t really seek only to expand its power at the expense of others. No, these are merely “perceptions”, and false ones. The obvious corollary is that we musn’t change our policies, only work to correct these warped perceptions that cause people to unjustly oppose U.S. actions.
It hardly needs to be said that there’s nothing new about that formula.

This article is nice but once you understand the truth that there were no commercial planes on 9/11 all of this will become meaningless. The US will never be forgiven for what it did on 9/11.

INTERESTING WASN’T IT? Bright sunny tuesday morning, I should have seen a white plain clear as day, but it was a dark gray or green plane that struck the building……wtf?!

The reason you will find MILLIONS of discrepancies with the TV broadcasts, film, video, and home movies of 9/11 is because there were NO commercial planes on 9/11. Investigate the exact people who took these films, photos, and videos. You will not like what you find. The US media corporations that showed you the initial 7 seconds on the DAY OF 9/11 are owned by the top US military corporations who have made near a TRILLION dollars because of 9/11. The US media on the day of 9-11 only showed the world a combined 7 seconds of video from 5 angles!!! After the FBI vetted the “others” then came more video. The reason there are problems with ALL the videos, film, broadcasts, and home movies is because there were NO commercial planes on 9/11. The war on terror, just like the WMD’s in Iraq, is based on a fabricated murderous lie. All of it. This lie also implicates the US media to charges of mass murder. That’s why it’s important for the shills to maintain that there must have been planes in NYC?!! There were NO commercial planes on 9-11.
Watch September Clues online for an introduction into the lies.

I know you all love hating on Bush. But in case you haven’t figured it out yet, Bush was just Clinton part II.

I think it goes all the way back to LBJ having JFK wacked. LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II (John the Baptist) for President Obama. It just is spinning faster and faster. The NWO is almost here in total!

Yep. Every president since Woodrow Wilson has been part of the same continuity of a plan that began even before our nation did.

and Clinton cut his teeth smuggling cocaine from the Iran Contra operations run by Bush 41 in through Mena. How convenient to have two fellow drug smugglers running against eachother for the highest office in the land.

Just a reminder, Clinton said he was the first black president in the oval office,
President Bush made no such claim, how is it that you can address them in the same light, when one is self proclaimed black and the other made no claim of any kind.
Besides . . . If the first black president is as bad as the one you have now, then only God can fix the screw up. (Then for example, comes, Sarah Palin. some one who is willing to set things right and clean up the mess after this second self proclaimed black president who is isn’t even a US citizen).

Rockefeller is the agent for the Rothchilds of London(The richest family in the world)by the way they are zionists.Rockefeller brought the UN here donated the land(300 million) for UN.He created the Trilateral commission and the most evil communist antichrist CFR(Council on Foreign Relations).These are the bastards who selected all our past 8 or so presidents.So to save America,you have to get rid of Rockefellers,all CFR members,all Skull and Bones,most 33 degree Masons and above in degrees.Even if you arrested all these bastards in these groups,you would only have half of them,then you would to go world wide to the Illuminati.It wont be no easy task.CAn it be done,no not with the idiots for the population we have now.I do know that they will all get theirs in the end by GOD,thats my hope for the last laugh so to say.

You have both parties that are members of CFR.
CFR is where the 2 wings meet to form the body of the eagle.
Then above that is the FED acting as the eyes, ears, nose, and brain.

Got i cant stand this woman, i cant stand seeing her, i cant blame Clinton for cheating on her, just look at her! But getting back on topic, no one should be surprised. Ive been listening to Alex for aprox 5yrs, since a friend of mine turned me onto him. If anyone watches the MSM, it is funny how they are reporting on things that Alex has been talking about for years and they act like no big deal.
July 20th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
What a blackwidow she is.
Married Arkansas Cocaine Czar Bill Clinton.
Helped steal millions in their own watergate scandal.
Killed her secret lover Vincent Foster to cover up their trails.
Failed to create a working Health care program.
Stayed married to Bill after catching him with several women.
Takes her child on the campaign trail like a puppy to show off.
Refuses to end campaign after officially losing.
Accepts a job from her competitor Obama.
And now says she knows where the 9/11 ring leaders are!!!!
Where are they??? The same friggin place we have been looking for 8 years.
All of a sudden they found a rock that was never turned over….right…and the tooth fairy is coming when??

Both H., W. Clinton are crud heads wormwooders to their core wicked is their work just a world embarrissment for nation. Investigate send them to jail and vote our lackie goverment out.

Clinton lead speaker…what a joke!!!!
Can you imagine being a Rockefeller and paying to hear her speak???
They all know everyone is a crook, just like them.
It has got to be one big joke to pay to hear another crook say the same things you taught them.
Then the portray to the public like people pay because they admire her.
They pay to give the illusion and keep “Ginsberg others” from hearing their plans.
Just a bunch of crooks making cries for house laws banning locks on the doors so the fireman and police can help you!!!
July 20th, 2009 at 5:50 pm
This article is oh so true. ‘They’ are ‘change’, the change you get after buying a bottle of kool-aid! They are ‘the money’ – that’s what Obama meant when he said ‘we mean change’! You give us lots of dosh and we’ll give you 2 cents back – now that doesn’t make sense from my perspective!

How pissed off is Hillary for not winning an election that should have been hers?
Even after all of the subtle racist attacks by Bill,they just couldn’t get it done.
Obama may be a commie,he’s definitely foreign born,he may be a train wreck for this nation,but at least I don’t have to see Hillary as president

Independents have been telling the members of these two traitorous political parties, the Democ-rats and the Republi-cons, for years that there isn’t an ounce of difference between them. The politicians are all, ALL, BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY WALL STREET. DON’T VOTE FOR THEM, DON’T SUPPORT THEM, IN ANY WAY. They have ruined this nation and put it on the brink destruction.
