(That someone was me, folks.)
According to Tommy <[email protected]>
David Sternlight is a member of the council on foreign
relations (pg. 176 of the 1993 Annual Report of the CFR)
The following Executive Branch officials are also
members of this organization:
William J. Clinton, President
etc etc...
The CFR is a politicans equivalent of the rotary club and something
you get into in exchange for little more than a few of the green
folding ones. Everyone and his dog is in it - the membership must
be in the tens if not hundreds of thousands. Basically it's like
an English 'Gentleman's Club' - you're paying for the snob value
of membership. What they get out of it is a big party cum picnic
at somewhere posh once a year (like Camp David) and the chance to
schmooze with the nobs. They disguise this on their tax claims
as a policy conference.
Membership marks Sternlight as a social climber, not as a mover
and shaker.
