The Joint Chiefs of Staff were created in 1949. Since then there have been 14 Chairmen. At least seven of Chairmen were members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Department of the Army Pamphlet No. 525-7-1, The Art and Science of Psychological Operations, states,

"As the principal military advisors to the president, the Joint Chiefs of Staff are directly concerned with Psychological Operations (PSYOPs). They serve as the immediate military staff of the secretary of Defense. They are in the chain of command that runs from the president to the Secretary of Defense, through the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to the commanders of unified and specified commands. The chain of command to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) also runs from the Secretary of Defense through the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Joint Staff is organized into directorates concerned with:

Personnel (J-1)
Operations (J-3)
Logistics (J-4)
Plans and Policy (J-5)
Communications-Electronics (J-6)

The intelligence function for the Joint Chiefs of Staff is undertaken by the Defense Intelligence Agency. All of these directorates have varying degrees of interest in PSYOP. In addition to the directorates, the activities of the various special assistants occasionally involve PSYOP. It is the director, J-3 (Operations), however, who has the responsibility in all matter pertaining to the psychological aspects of military operations. His principal staff assistant for PSYOP is the deputy director for operations (counterinsurgency and special activities) or DOCSA. DOCSA is supported." (Vol. I pgs 99-100)

Title-50 War and National Defense § 783 states - "It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to combine, conspire, or agree with any other person to perform any act which would substantially contribute to the establishment within the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and control of which is to be vested in, or exercised by or under the domination of control of, any foreign government."

The Council on Foreign Relations are in violation of Title-50 War and National Defense § 783. The Council on Foreign Relations has unlawfully and knowingly combined, conspired, and agreed to substantially contribute to the establishment of one world order under the totalitarian dictatorship, the direction and the control of members of Council on Foreign Relations, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and members of their branch organizations in various nations throughout the world. That is totalitarianism on a global scale.
