A behind-the-scenes look at some of the key globalist architects and
apparatchiks responsible for launching and promoting NAFTA, FTAA and other "free
trade" traps.
Robert Zoellick — As U.S. Trade Representative for President George W.
Bush, Mr. Zoellick has presided over the most active and aggressive push for
multilateral and bilateral trade agreements in U.S. history. Now in the
limelight, he was a lesser-known but major architect of the CFR trade assault on
U.S. sovereignty over the past two decades. He served as a top lieutenant to
James Baker III (CFR) in the Reagan and Bush administrations, where he helped
negotiate the NAFTA agreements, create the WTO and lay the groundwork for the
FTAA.
Zoellick’s board memberships, the Washington Post’s Steven Pearlstein
wrote in 2001, "read like the directory of the internationalist establishment:
the Council on Foreign Relations, the German Marshall Fund, the International
Institute for Strategic Studies, the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced
International Studies, the Nixon Center for Peace & Freedom, the Aspen
Institute, and, naturally, the Trilateral Commission." In addition, noted
Pearlstein, the U.S.’s top trade guru "serves on advisory boards to the Pentagon
and the CIA." To which we could also add his positions as director or adviser
for the European Institute, the Overseas Development Council and the Institute
for International Economics.
