Regional Governance

Regional Governance

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement

of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent

encroachments of those in power than by

violent and sudden usurpations."

-- James Madison, address to the Virginia Convention, June 16, 1788.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Phoebe Courtney is the managing editor of THE INDEPENDENT AMERICAN, a national Conservative newspaper she founded in January 1955. This book is Mrs. Courtney's eleventh book. Her previous books have sold more than 250,000 copies.

This is also the fifth book in her series of books exposing the prestigious Council on Foreign Relation. According to Phoebe Courtney: "As long as the Council on Foreign Relations controls both the foreign and domestic policies of this nation, regardless of which political party is in power--as I always prove - I will continue my series of books exposing the policies of the semi-secret CFR to public view."

Putting out a national bimonthly newspaper and writing books are two of Phoebe Courtney's activities. She is also the author of a series of pamphlets entitled TAX FAX which deal with national politics and critical issues of the day. As this book goes to press, the current TAX FAX is No. 131. Almost 10,000,000 of her TAX FAX pamphlets have been purchased and distributed throughout the United States since 1956. The main purpose of these thoroughly documented pamphlets is to help mobilize grass-roots opposition to Liberal-Socialist legislation in Congress.
