I no longer trust the stories from Bill Moyers. The Council on Foreign Relations.... breeding ground of such notables as Henry Kissinger and many other unsavory types... a big part of the oligarchy.
Although the quote below is dated....(1975 - 1981 by David Wallechinsky & Irving Wallace) just use your imagination to picture its membership today.

COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS

Famous Members: A survey of its membership roster for the past 50 years amply demonstrates that the council has been a fertile training and selection ground for the State Dept. Beginning with John Foster Dulles, all of the secretaries of state except one have belonged to the council, including Dean Rusk, Cyrus Vance, Edmund Muskie, Henry Kissinger, and Alexander Haig. Indeed, Kissinger started on his route to global diplomatic stardom through his association with the council. A young, unknown scholar at the time, Kissinger took a job as study director in 1955 for a council panel set up to explore methods short of war for coping with the Soviets in a nuclear age. Besides providing background material and funding for his best-seller, Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy, the council enabled Kissinger to meet a number of powerful individuals he wouldn't otherwise have met, including David Rockefeller. Rockefeller himself has been a prominent member of the CFR, both as a director and as chairman.

Another government body that has always had strong ties to the council is the CIA. Forty-year CFR director Allen W. Dulles helped establish the CIA and subsequently became its director. Nearly all CIA chiefs since then have been former council members, including Richard Helms, William Colby, George Bush, and William Casey. A number of presidential candidates and presidents have belonged to the council, including Richard Nixon, Dwight Eisenhower, Adlai Stevenson, Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern, and John Anderson. Vice-Presidents Nelson Rockefeller and Walter Mondale were also members. Although Ronald Reagan was not a member, he appointed many people to his administration who were. Besides Haig, and Casey, and Donald Regan, Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldrige and special trade representative William Brock belonged to the CFR.

Many of the council's members have a personal financial interest in foreign relations, principally because it is their property and investments that are guarded by the State Dept. and the military. There is a heavy predominance of corporate leaders, bankers, and top corporate lawyers from such firms as ITT, IBM, and Standard Oil on the council's roster. In addition, almost all of the major media in the country have connections with the council. Former New York Times publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger was a member; so are journalists James Reston and Bill Moyers, former Time magazine editor in chief Hedley Donovan, Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham, CBS chairman William S. Paley, and NBC newscaster John Chancellor.

How Much Power: The CFR's audience, one council member contends, is "the most influential in the world." The interests of its members are inextricably woven with the vital interests of the U.S. because their own personal financial ventures overseas often hinge on the direction of American foreign policy. In spite of its relatively low public profile, it is a high-impact organization. In fact, in the 1952, 1956, 1968, and 1972 U.S. presidential elections, both major parties nominated candidates who had been members of the CFR.

"There are none so hoplessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free." (Goethe)

Moyers is a disgrace:

"Moyers' "Winning the War on Terror" (http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/printer_040904A.shtml ) is a lament over President Bush's leadership. Moyers accepts Bush's narrative of the war on terror without question. He doesn't point out that Bush's war on terror has done nothing but multiply terrorists, or that Bush could easily have isolated terrorists after 9/11 by addressing the authentic grievances of Arabs, or that Bush in fact needs terrorists to justify Administration policies. On the contrary, Moyers has no doubts about who the real enemy is:

"Islamic fanatics have declared war and seem willing to wage it to the death. If they prevail, our children will grow up in a world where fear governs the imagination and determines the rules of life."

Apparently to Moyers' mind we are always at Orange Alert or worse; it's almost as if it is Americans -- rather than, say, Iraqis or Palestinians -- who live under constant threat of being bombed or strafed or tortured or starved; the brutal realities of life for many Muslims are transformed somehow into omnipresent dangers for Americans. And so, writes Moyers, "Like most Americans, I want to do my part in the war." He makes clear that this war is not just another issue du jour. In language evoking the grand old days of World War II, Moyers agrees with Bush that the war on terror "is an inescapable calling of our generation."

This man is the worst of the worst: an establishment shill pretending to be a man of the people. It doesn't get any worse than Bill Moyers. I'll take a Billy O or a Geraldo any day. At least those cretins don't pretend to be "progressive'.
