Today Obama named Richard Holbrooke special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan

Holbrooke is on the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations. **

He is also a member of the Trilateral Commission.

He is also a Bilderberg attendee. Here is footage of Holbrooke outside of the Bilderberg at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa, Canada in 2006 (getting yelled at by Alex Jones).

He is certainly not the first of his kind to receive such an appointment in the new administration, however. Obama has already appointed many other members of the CFR, members of the Trilateral Commission, and Bilderberg Attendees, not the least of which being CFR member/globalist Hillary Clinton, whose husband tried to “create a new world economic order” when he was president, by his own admission.

** Update 5/19/09: It seems that Holbrooke’s name no longer appears on the CFR’s Board of Directors page. Fortunately I saved a copy of that page on 1/26/09.  Click here to see this cached version, which shows Holbrooke on the Board of Directors at the time of this writing.  His name also appears on this list of CFR Board of Directors members,  which was also cached directly from the CFR’s website on 10/5/2007 by archive.org.
