What are they - exactly? A cozy little club. Let's take two of their star figures.
María Otero - ACCION International - whose father just happened to have worked for the "Inter-American Development Bank" in Washington DC. The IADB has done marvelous things for Latin America, and is reporting great increases in Latin American growth - much of it at our domestic expense. Think
trade agreements, and
more cheap imports to add to those from China, India etc.
Her husband, "Rev. Joe Eldridge" is a chaplain at the wonderful "American University" - which is almost exclusively involved in "international human rights". They are linked with Amnesty International; think
global village type "human rights". Aka U.N. Declaration of Human rights - not our BORs.

ACCION Intl.; A "global micro finance institution". Nothing wrong with people borrowing money, nothing wrong with banks lending it. But a greater portion of our curent national predicament is
credit. Instead of a stable monetary system
issued and controlled directly by Congress, and a tax level commensurate with Constitutional Federal spending; we have a huge multi-trillion dollar national debt (with interest), rampant inflation, cheap imported labor - low wages all round, etc - and an enormous number of people deep in debt.
Let's move on to Betty F. Bumpers. Director of "Vital Voices Global Partnership". VVGP "envisions a world of peace, justice and economic opportunity for all, where the voice of every woman is heard and respected. Vital Voices invests in women who are leading social, economic and political progress in their countries."
A world of what?
Peace? These people are not being honest - or they are incredibly stupid. Which is it?
Co-founder of "Every Child By Two". To quote; "Their mission is to "protect all children from vaccine preventable diseases by raising parental awareness of the critical need for timely infant immunizations, fostering the establishment of a systematic method to locate and immunize children, and providing convenient access to immunization services into the future."
... Family doctors do this stuff don't they? "Morning Mrs ___________. Congratulations. Beautiful baby! .. that makes uh, three now eh? Lottsa work! Are there any vaccinations
you would like your enfant to be given while she is in the hospital?"
What on earth is a "
systematic method to locate and immunize children"?? Wonder what Bumpers is collecting from Merck, Glaxo-SmithKline and Co for her efforts?
Bumpers is also founder of "Peace Links". Quote: "was founded in Washington, D.C. in 1982 at the height of the Cold War by Betty Bumpers and other Congressional wives" and it describes itself as "a volunteer movement that strives for a safer world for our children by empowering women to work towards abolishing nuclear weapons, educating children and families in conflict management skills and linking with women and men worldwide who seek alternatives to war."

And these people are "advising" our pres and Congress on national defense?
Right. And while chewing this over, keep in mind that
these people were appointed by the president. Bipartisan by law
of course - can't have an
elected party actually steering our nation now can we
