Rear Admiral Chester Ward, U.S. Navy (ret.) was Judge Advocate General of the Navy 1956-60. He received a law degree (Juris Doctor) with highest honors from George Washington University Law School in 1968. He has lectured on national strategy in seminars conducted by the U.S. Army, the Stanford Research Institute, the Institute for American Strategy, the National Guard, and the Foreign Policy Research Institute of the University of Pennsylvania. He was a founding member, National Strategy Committee of the American Security Council. Though Admiral Ward was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations for 15 years, he became one of its severest critics after his resignation from the CFR. His great patriotism and strength of character make his criticisms of great importance. A few of his comments, excerpted from KISSINGER ON THE COUCH (Schlafly & Ward): "The most powerful cliques in these (CFR) elitist groups have one objective in common; they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and national independence of the United States. . this lust to surrender the sovereignty and independence of the United States is pervasive throughout most of the (CFR) membership. They consider that this objective is at once so idealistic. . and so urgent (a lasting world peace can be secured only by disarming all nations down to internal police levels), that their end justifies any means." (p.129)

"Over the years we have seen substantially every one of their (CFR) America-Last programs become the official policy of the United States government." (p. 145)

Admiral Ward explains that when we elect a president. "What they think is one-man rule is actually one man BEING ruled. Instead of a president capturing monolithic or totalitarian power, he himself is captured." (Admiral Ward points to the Kissinger rule during the Nixon-Ford years.) With reference to those who 'ran' the Vietnam War, he named as ''traitors'' . . . Kissinger, McNamara, Bundy, Nitze, Rusk, Gilpatrick, Vance, McNaughton, and Rostow.

About the SALT negotiations, Admiral Ward stated: "'Conspiratorial' is the precise term to describe the nature of the entfre process involving SALT It was initiated in a conspiracy designed by McNamara, and secretly carried on through Soviet Ambassador Dobrynin. Its undenied purpose was to abort the U.S. anti-missile program that for years had the unanimous support of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the near- unanimous support of both houses of Congress." (p. 319)

The Admiral cries out: "May God give these United States one Senator who will ask the right questions." (p. 305, KISSINGER ON THE COUCH)

Dr. Kennedy, in THE SPIRITUAL STATE OF THE NATION, quoting Admiral Moorer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time of the SALT I Treaty; "Every one of the U.S. defense programs to be initiated with SALT I has either been cancelled, delayed, or stretched out, and it puts us in the position of facing the threat of the 80's with equipment designed for the 60's."

Since CFR policy disarmed the United States, it is interesting to note that Jimmy Carter's mentor and New World Order advocate Zbigniew Brzezinski (CFR/TC) admits that: "(I)t is likely that in the absence of these weapons war would long since have broken out between the United States and the Soviet Union." Between Two Ages (page 7)

How can Americans continue to allow themselves to be governed by leadership which intends to render us helpless before the world? We can understand it when we realize — that leadership controls all branches of government, the military, and mass media at the very highest echelons. Americans have simply been uninformed and misinformed through CFR control of the media.

F.R.E.E.'s charts clearly show the degree to which CFR members have gained acting control of our military. Let's try to determine how they have instilled their treasonous ''no-win" philosophy into our once great fighting organizations.

Without public knowledge, for many years the Council on Foreign Relations has carefully selected military men for training at the Harold Pratt House on Fifth Avenue, New York City. Their recruits attend CFR meetings and training sessions at taxpayers' expense. We also pay $4,000 tuition per man, per year to cover indoctrinating officers in the delicate nuances of NEW WORLD ORDER politics. CFR cronies have secured command of the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Army War College, and our National Defense University. This may explain why we have so many "negotiators" at the top in our military, instead of the "fighting generals" that were victors in World War II. The very word, ''victory'' seems to have been effectively banished from military vocabulary. Apparently "victory" is not taught as a viable concept in the CFR's selective military training institutions.

As a result of concentrated CFR attention to training military leaders, the United States has a generation of officers who have never known victory. Have they been conditioned by treasonous political leadership to accept defeat when imposed upon them? Are many actively or unknowingly working toward surrender of our sovereignty to a world "super state"? Surely, astute military men recognize the reasons for such policies — whereby CFR leaders are openly betraying the U.S. through promoting aid and assistance to sworn enemies of the U.S. An example:

— U.S. Aid built the truck factories which provided the vehicles used in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan;

— the trucks were powered by fuel from oil fields equipped by the U.S.;

— the vehicles rolled over strategic American- build highways; and,

— invading Soviet bloc soldiers marched to battle wearing American cowhide boots, while eating bread made from American wheat!

Dr. Antony Sutton, in NATIONAL SUICIDE, MILITARY AID TO THE SOVIET UNION, proves conclusively that over 90 percent of the Soviet's technology came from the West. . most of it specifically originating in America. Ironically, this same treasonous type of aid is being given to Communist China today. Obviously the CFR specializes in building up our enemies while "pushing" into Marxist hands our faithful allies like Cuba, Rhodesia, Iran and Nicaragua . . . and let us not forget Taiwan.

David Rockefeller, Chairman of both the Council of Foreign Relations, and its offspring, the Trilateral Commission, eulogizes Comrade Chairman Mao, and openly supports Marxist regimes. In addition to covert revolution, Rockefeller's single-minded idea is to profit . . . by promoting massive transfers of American technology and weaponry to yet another backward Communist power . . . even if its open goal is to exterminate the United States. As absurd and treasonous as this is, who can expect our captive CFR-trained military officers to question their CFR pro-Marxist civilian masters? Why were gallant, uncompromising men — who dared their CFR masters — sent home from Korea and Vietnam in disgrace? Was it planned CFR policy that we lost those wars?

EXAMPLES:

Norman Dodd, Director of Research during the House Committee Investigation of Tax Exempt Foundations, was told by Mr. Rowan Gaither (CFR), President of the Ford Foundation, that their grant-making policies are designed to alter life in the United States so that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.

After observing the betrayal of a number of anti-Communist nations friendly to the U.S., General Albion Knight stated that he 'fully expected an American surrender ceremony to be conducted in the White House Rose Garden and broadcast on all major TV networks."

Dr. Antony Sutton, Ph.D., in his timely expose of The Trilateral Commission, TRILATERALS OVER WASHINGTON, observed: "(T)he Carter Administration is not at all concerned with black rights or human rights, it is concerned only in helping yet another Marxist government into power. . It may take a while yet, but sooner or later this simple tragic fact is going to penetrate the minds of independent Americans and independent governments overseas."

Admiral Ward, the long-time CFR member quoted above, commented on the problems encountered by the modern-day "Paul Revere" when he wrote: "Americans are inclined to disbelieve anyone who speaks out bluntly as to how desperate our defense situation is. In the first place, it is very difficult to believe something you have neither heard nor read. If someone does speak out, the administration makes massive efforts to suppress the material and smear the one who spoke out. Most of the mass media will ignore it if possible, and if not, will degrade or discredit it, and smear the one who speaks out. Finally, the American people, especially the patriotic ones, simply do not want to hear or believe any such bad news about their country. They have an emotional and ideological blocking which tells them that America is not only the greatest but the most powerful nation on earth, and that anyone who says otherwise must be a liar attempting to downgrade our country."

Solzhenitzyn put his finger on the problem when he commented: "No, it is not any difficulties of perception that the West is suffering, but a desire not to know, an emotional preference for the pleasant over the unpleasant."

Admiral Ward had much to say about the SALT process and presented his readers with many damning facts about the CFR members who participated in it: "These additional facts make a highly persuasive case that Kissinger did care about strategic supremacy — and that he urgently wanted the Soviets to have it . . . we have the answer to the question of why Kissinger would accept and sell the American people and their President the arms control agreements that were not only signed in Moscow, but made in Moscow. He and the Kremlin were working toward the same goal: A preclusive first-strike capability for the Soviet Union over the United States. So it was that the Soviet- drafted SALT I Agreements became one more instrument to be used by Dr. Kissinger in shaping his NEW WORLD ORDER . . ."

"If we give up and say that it is beyond us, we will have surrendered to those elitists the decision over our life or death, and they in turn will surrender us to the masters of Kissinger's NEW WORLD ORDER . . ."

"Our assertion that such a NEW WORLD ORDER is Henry Kissinger's planned objective is not a figment of a fevered imagination."

In his initial appearance at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on his confirmation as Secretary of State on September 7, 1973, he pontifically invited Congress to share his demiurgical mission: "Our task is to define — together — the contours of a NEW WORLD, and to shape America's contribution to it.

"Congress doesn't have a mandate to create a new world. . . The U.S. Constitution does not enumerate a "new world" project. It does, however, enumerate the duty to provide for the "common defense of the states of the United States. Influential CFR members have worked half a century to change this. . . (emphasis ours)

General Lewis Walt, U.S.M.C., was Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps from 1968 to 1971, and served in combat during World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. His book, The Eleventh Hour, should be read by every concerned American, especially our servicemen. Here are a few words of warning from that book:

"The facts are these: The United States has been brought, by its own civilian leaders, to a position of military inferiority to the Soviet Union. . . the Soviet leaders believe that with patience they can in a short time force us to surrender. I am not talking about some date in the far distant future, but some day within the next four or five years.

"As Ernest Hemingway wrote at the beginning of World War II, there are several things worse than war and they all come with defeat . . ."

"The objectives are these.' 1) To purge the Congress of the forces of appeasement and surrender which are pulling us toward war or slavery; and 2) Replace them with men and women of integrity and common sense who will restore our military superiority, the only coin with which we can buy the time for diplomacy to work."

"The destiny of the American people belongs in our hands, not in the hands of foreign tyrants."

Writing in WITH NO APOLOGIES, Senator Barry Goldwater gives us a glimpse of some tragedies related to the control of our military operations by CFR policy. The Korea and Vietnam no-win wars were controlled by CFR policies, and the disgraceful betrayal of free Cubans at the Bay of Pigs was the subject of these observations: "It was a plan which should have succeeded. . . Operation Pluto ended in bloody defeat."

"From one of our aircraft carriers standing off Cuba that weekend we did launch our aircraft. The pilots of those war planes were ordered to search out and destroy any remaining aircraft available to Castro's forces."

"After the planes were in the air, the order to strike was countermanded in a message from the President of the United States to the Admiral in command of the carrier. The American planes were recalled . . ."

"Civilian authorities denied our troops a victory in Korea by designating the area north of the Yalu as a sanctuary. That defeat had a disastrous effect on American civilian and military morale . . ."

"In Vietnam we fought a twelve-year war which could have been ended in twelve weeks. Our political masters were afraid to acknowledge defeat and wouldn't let our military win a victory . . ."

"The only word adequate to describe our conduct is 'betrayal'."

Clearly the betrayal these men write about has been by the members of two private groups in New York City; the Council on Foreign Relations and The Trilateral Commission. It continues even today, very cleverly hidden from public view and understanding by a media which is controlled by these same people. American servicemen should ponder the question; Who do we serve, the American people or a group of international bankers? The question is, will Americans sit quietly by and allow a handful of wealthy elitist internationalists to enslave their children and grandchildren?
