Will Psychopaths Control The Future?

Will Psychopaths Control the Future? Klaus Schwab, Yuval Noah Harari, and the World Economic Forum

James Perloff

In 1988 I wrote my first book, The Shadows of Power: The Council on Foreign Relations and the American Decline. I had long heard about “the Establishment” (what we now more commonly call “the Deep State”). But I wanted more than a nebulous description; I wanted to know specifically who they were.

In his landmark 1937 book America’s Sixty Families, Ferdinand Lundberg had documented that America was run by an oligarchy operating behind a façade of democracy. In his chapter “The Press of the Plutocracy” he also showed it that had commandeered most of America’s mass media. The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) was incorporated in 1921 to push the United States toward world government, following the Senate’s 1919 refusal to ratify the Versailles Treaty (which would have joined America to the League of Nations). I found that the Council was the main connection between the oligarchs Lundberg spoke of and the U.S. government. It was supplying cabinet-level personnel to both Democratic and Republican administrations, which explained why war policies, trade policies, financial policies, etc., changed so little when the White House shifted from one party to the other. In The Shadows of Power, I progressed administration by administration, documenting how the CFR had dominated every cabinet. Passage through the Council (attending occasional study groups and dinners) “qualified” Wall Streeters and corporate CEOs—often with no experience in government or diplomacy—to head federal departments. As just one example, when retired Goldman Sachs banker John C. Whitehead became Deputy Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan, The New York Times commented: “Mr. Whitehead brings to the job no apparent expertise in international diplomacy . . . . In describing his attributes for the job, Mr. Shultz [Secretary of State] said that Mr. Whitehead was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and was regularly invited to dinners given by Henry A. Kissinger, the former secretary of state.”¹

In my 2013 book Truth Is a Lonely Warrior, I noted that the CFR had provided 21 Secretaries of Defense/War, 19 Treasury secretaries, 16 Secretaries of State, and 16 CIA Directors. The numbers have increased since, with nearly half of Biden’s top cabinet picks drawn from the Council.

Similar to Lundberg, The Shadows of Power also had a chapter on the CFR’s domination of mainstream media. (Shadows is still in print today, but Amazon sells new copies for the absurd price of about $50. Hint: You can get the paperback directly from the publisher for $24.95 or the Kindle edition for $9.95.) Today, just five corporations own over 90 percent of American media, a fact vividly underscored by the following 2-minute clip of news anchors from different networks reading identical remarks from their teleprompters. (NOTE: this post contains many clips, but out of respect for readers’ time, most are only 1 or 2 minutes long; I have marked the times, rounding off to the nearest minute).

As most students of the New World Order know, the “oligarchy” is not just an American phenomenon, but an international one. And politicians—like the media—have begun to echo each other (2 minutes):

Headquartered in the town of Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum was established in 1971, but—for most of us in alternative media—it operated under the radar screen until it co-sponsored (along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) Event 201—an October 2019 exercise that simulated a coronavirus pandemic, with microbes transferred from bats to humans, and recommended a draconian crackdown on “misinformation” through Big Tech censorship. The fact that Event 201 occurred immediately before the COVID outbreak set off alarm bells. I first learned about it from a video by Spiro Skouras in January 2020.

A second major revelation about the World Economic Forum (WEF) came in August 2020 when Harry Vox and Shai Danon explored the WEF website and found its “COVID-19 Transformation Map” contained layer upon layer of information planning the global response to COVID—plans that would have required ages to develop. The original 78-minute video was scrubbed by YouTube but can still be found on Bitchute. Here is a 4-minute excerpt…
