Answer 2

Council of foreign relations.  It is a goof thing and is one of the goofiest of all the conspiracy theories.  It usually revolves around Rockefeller making a one world government.  Some of the theories are totally whacked to the point of being funny to hear.

Answer 3

CFR makes me sick........

Answer 4

The Council of Foreign Relations is the only one of the three that actually exists.  It is a group of foreign policy experts that publishes a journal of scholarly research on foreign policy issues.  

What needs to be understood is that the Council of Foreign Relations is the foreign relations equivalent of the National Academy of Science.  Not all of its members agree with every opinion that might come out of the Council (much less with what is published in its journal).

I would say that, overall, it is a good thing because it is a resource for those not currently in government to formulate alternative policies and communicate with others in the field about such alternative policies, including those currently in a position to make decisions.

The Council of Foreign Relations gets a bad name among conspiracy theorists because most qualified candidates for key roles in the State Department are members of the Council.  That fact lends itself to people who do not know the nature of the Council claiming that the Council controls the foreign policy of the U.S.  Anyone who has ever subscribed to the journal put out by the Council, however, would realize that the members of the Council have vastly divergent views.
