Albright Symposium — A Conversation with the Clintons (Full Length)

Religion must be key part of foreign policy, says Madeleine Albright

ON: 4/11/2016, BY CAROL ZIMMERMANN, IN: NATION WASHINGTON


WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Madeleine Albright, former U.S. secretary of state, said she grew up in a generation that was taught to "keep God and religion as separate as possible from foreign policy."

But that's certainly not her view.

In fact, she's adamant that religion must be at the table in foreign policy discussions.

In an April 7 lecture at Georgetown University, she told students and faculty members who filled a campus hall that the greatest modern challenge is to "build bridges of understanding and tolerance."

"There are some who might want to engage in such a bridge-building effort without bringing religion into the conversation -- to them I say, 'Good luck,'" she added.

Albright's lecture kicked off the 10th anniversary celebration of Georgetown's Berkley Center for Religion, Peace & World Affairs. The former diplomat is currently the Michael and Virginia Mortara Endowed Distinguished Professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. She joked that you could write an entire book on the subject of religion and international relations, which she did, 10 years ago. It was titled "The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God and World Affairs."

"That had nothing controversial in it," she told the crowd, laughing.

"We mean business" - Zbigniew Brzezinski

This morning Zbigniew Brzezinski said on NPR's Diane Remh Show that "we mean business", when referring to the goal of Operation Odyssey Dawn in Kaddaffi's Lybia. The former Jimmy Carter administration National Security Advisor, Bilderberg participant, member of the Council On Foreign Relations, and co-founder (with David Rockefeller) of the Trilateral Commission; Brzezinski is also a college professor, and an expert in geo-political matters...

What a resume?

What a line-up Diane Remh had on this morning's first hour segment? Along with Zbigniew Brzezinski, she also had Madeleine (coxxnes) Albright (Bill Clinton's Secretary of State), and Rhodes Scholar Richard Haass, the current president of the Council of Foreign Relations. The usual operatives were present on today's program; they faithfully represented the Vatican New World Order agenda (as quiet as it's kept).

No, NPR doesn't have a myopic bias when it comes to poli-tricks? Of course not they're consistent in always providing the Vatican's perspective: Ordo Ab Chao. Something that was missing from today's format was a representative from Georgetown University (a staple on the programs) or a guest from the Brookings Institution. Actually, if you have a president of the CFR, another guest who is a member of the same organization and a founder of the Trilateral Commission, plus a serving professor at Georgetown University since '82; You've covered the whole gamut of common good Cannon Law - Catholic Agenda. My mistake, I didn't consider that Ms. Albright (always wears esoteric lapel broaches) was also now a Jesuit coadjutor (represents the Jesuit/Catholic world-view).

.

Note: Richard Haass was a former VP, and Director of the Brookings Institution.

And yes folks, these people do mean business. Business as usual! For the greater good, of course.

Arsenio.
