Concerning the Council on Foreign Relations

I am disheartened to discover that the President of St. John's College for Santa Fe, NM campus was previously the Executive Vice President of the Council on Foreign Relations. Furthermore, President Michael Peters invited the current Executive President of the Council on Foreign Relations to the Commencement for the Class of 2007. This is especially disheartening because the idealism of young college graduates is easily misguided (I know this since I have experienced radical idealism).

A few things to consider about the Council on Foreign Relations:

The Council of Foreign Relations begin under the academic President of the USA, Woodrow Wilson, by a group of 150 scholars, then called the Inquiry. The Inquiry was the advisory committee to Wilson that developed the '14 point plan,' which was suppose to end future wars by creating an international government, the League of Nations.

Since the Council on Foreign Relations' creation, it has grown more powerful, politically, and its believe in the construction of a global government has dominated its philosophy:

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents, such as my encounter with Castro, to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
~David Rockefeller, Memoirs

Let's suppose that as allowed competition for product X decreases, the remaining monopoly acquires the complete share of the total market of product X. Then let's assume that governments grow competes in the same way, but as businesses compete for market share, governments compete for power. Therefore, a global government would mean a monopoly of power, or force.

Governments for the majority of history have been justified by the clergy, especially obvious in Despotism, but now governments must rely on the new religious order of the secular west--the infallible intellectuals.

Great American Streetcar Scandal

There exists a pervasive rumor that General Motors and 'The Big Oil Corporations' are solely responsible for the collapse of the heavily-subsidized Streetcar businesses across the nation. This, however, is not true. The article here provides an unbiased account of the truth of the matter but forgets to mention FDR's Public Utility Act of 1935.

My Purpose for Blogging.

My mind has been muddled by the erroneous ideologies of time. Western Thought, as I know it, has never been classical, only and always new. Individuals have expressed themselves, classically, but society has failed to do this. Only individuals have embraced other individuals. There is no love between "societies," only quantifiable differences. That which is quantified are the individuals of a "society." Cosmopolitanism: Strangers are all the same, but known persons are unique relative to me.

Why Ego, then Logos?

Without Ego, I have no Logos. I strive to rationalize what is, as I experience it. The Logos of being allows you and I to communicate: that is my end (and hopefully it is yours, too).
