Council on Foreign Relations

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is a United States nonprofit think tank specializing in U.S. foreign policy and international affairs. Established in 1921, the CFR is based in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C. It publishes the bi-monthly journal Foreign Affairs and hosts events, discussions, and publications on global issues.

Controversies and Conspiracy Theories

The Council on Foreign Relations has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories and controversies, often linked to its perceived influence on American and global policy-making. It is frequently described by conspiracy theorists as part of a secretive elite cabal that manipulates global events to serve its own interests. These theories often suggest that the CFR is working toward establishing a one-world government or new world order, although these claims lack credible evidence and are broadly discredited by experts and analysts.

Connection to Alex Jones

Alex Jones has frequently targeted the CFR in his rhetoric. Jones has alleged that the organization is a central piece of a larger global conspiracy, portraying it as part of an interconnected web of influential groups that include the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. Although Jones's assertions are widely dismissed as unfounded by credible scholars and commentators, they have contributed to the notoriety of CFR in conspiracy circles.
