Surrounded by round-the-clock armed guards and a barricade of barbed wire, the body of Laura
Celeste Spelman Rockefeller awaited burial for some twenty weeks between March and August,
1915, while her husband John Davidson Rockefeller avoided angry mobs and process servers. At
that time Rockefeller was perhaps the wealthiest man the modern world had ever known. His
personal fortune was equal to 2 percent of the total gross national product of the United States
and this did not include the vast fortune passed on to the rest of his family which then controlled
banks, railways and philanthropic foundations (which were themselves a newly- created device of
Rockefeller). The Standard Oil Companies which he had created and in which he still held a major
(25 per cent.) interest, then refined more than 90 percent of the oil sold in America and most of
that of the rest of the world. Its political power was such that it was accused of doing everything
with state legislatures except 'refining them'.
Yet despite such economic resources, Rockefeller had become an object of hatred and derision in
America; he could not bury his wife of more than half a century for fear that the body might be
desecrated or that he might be subpoenaed at the funeral by any of a dozen governmental bodies
investigating his activities. Indeed, for more than a decade Rockefeller had been hounded by
relentless muckrakers, who portrayed him as a ruthless robber baron; investigated continually by
state attorney generals and congressional committees who turned him into a fugitive from his
own family; and denounced by political leaders of both parties as an 'arch-criminal'. Even
charities hesitated to accept Rockefeller's 'tainted money' on the ground, as Senator Robert M.
Lafollette argued, that "he gives with two hands but robs with many ... he is the greatest criminal
of the age".
In 1915 public passions were further aroused against Rockefeller by widely circulated reports of
massacres of women and children at the Colorado Fuel and Iron company which his family
controlled. In such an atmosphere wealth was of little use in quieting public opinion. Effective
power, Rockefeller learned, depended on control of not merely pipelines, refineries, railways and
banks, but also of the leaders and conduits of public opinion. And just as the old Rockefeller was
able to organise industries systematically for great profit, his heirs learned to organise just as
efficiently the perceptions and passions that constitute that vague realm known as 'public
opinion'.
John D. Rockefeller, born on a farm in New York State in 1839, was the son of an adventurer who
had made a small fortune selling patent medicines and cancer cures which owed their success, if
they were like other 'botanic medicines' of their day, to an opium base. When John D. reached the
age of 20, his father advanced him sufficient funds to buy a half interest in a commodity
commission business in Cleveland. That same year, 1859, the first oil well in America was drilled
at Titusville, Pennsylvania, and part of the oil was shipped down the Cuyohoga River to Cleveland
for refining and then re-shipping to New York. In the next few years, the oil fields of Pennsylvania
became the main source of kerosene for the entire world and young Rockefeller moved his
commodity business from grain, hay and meat into oil. By the time he was 26 he had bought out
his partners in what was then the largest refinery in Cleveland, and formed what was eventually
known as the Standard Oil Company. Rockefeller immediately foresaw that transportation, not
production of oil or retail sales, would be the key to controlling the burgeoning industry. Any
refiner who could ship the oil for a few cents a barrel less than other refiners to the major market
in New York would drive his competitors out of business. With this insight, Rockefeller proceeded
to dominate the oil industry.
By negotiating a 'rebate' with railroads on each barrel his refinery shipped, Rockefeller received a
secret lower rate which allowed him to undersell all his compctitors in New York. Since greater
profits for all could proceeed from the lower shipping rate, it was in the self-intcrest of competing
refineries to join Standard. and most of them rushed to exchange their stock for either Standard
stock or cash.
By 1882 the Standard Company, reorganised by Rockefeller's lawyers as a 'trust' (which had
previously had a benign meaning) controlled 95 per cent. of the refining capacity, United States.
And Rockefeller, at the age of 43 controlled Standard Oil. With this power of refining, he
expanded into all phases of the oil industry, including exploration, shipping and marketing.
Before Americans were subject to income tax, the dividends from Standard Oil made Rockefcller
the wealthiest man in the country. Eventually, the government, first the states and then the
Federal, moved against Standard Oil and laws were passed against 'rebates' and 'trusts . Finally in
1911 under the crusading zeal of President Theodore Roosevelt, the Standard Oil trust was
dissolved into 33 separate companies of which the Rockefellers remained large shareholders
(receiving about 25 per cent of the shares of each new company).
Rockefeller's organisational genius was not limited to oil. During the boom of the 1890s, he
bought up a large share of the entire Pacific Northwest, including railways, steel mills, paper
mills, factories, ore deposits, lumber, and vast tracts of real estate, including the entire city of
Everett in the state of Washington. A dedicated Baptist, he founded the University of Chicago on
the condition that it be "aggressively Christian" with no "infidel teachers". He also created taxexempt foundations for the "well being of mankind" (just before income tax laws were passed in
the United States) which changed the shape of 'philanthropy' in the United States, and insulated a
large portion of his fortune from modern taxation.
Rockefeller, who had wanted to live until 100, died in his sleep from sclerotic myocarditis at the
age of 97 at The Casements, his Winter home, in Florida. None of his immediate family was with
him at the end. A special car was sent to Florida to bring back his body for a funeral at Pocantico
Hill and a burial in Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland, where Rockefeller had began his empire as a
$12-a-month clerk.
Since Rockefeller lived to the amazing age of 98, his only child John Jr did not inherit full
control over the fortune - and foundations until he was 63 and nearly retired. When 'Junior', as he
was called, attempted to take an active part in the family business in the first decade of the
twentieth century, he found that he was being held personally responsible for the reign of terror
and bloodshed in industrial America, which reached its height in 1915 after the Rockefeller
controlled Colorado Fuel and Iron company was closed down by workers who demanded the right
to collective bargaining and the enforcement of state labor laws which the company had been
ignoring for years. The company, with the Rockefellers' active support, called in a private army of
gunmen and the state militia to crush the strike and in the ensuing violence the tent camp of
miners at Ludlow, Colorado, was ruthlessly sprayed with machine gun fire and burned to the
ground. Along with several workers, 11 children and two women were killed in what became
known nationally as the 'Ludlow Massacre'. With great gusto the national Press used the image of
'roasted children' to portray 'Junior' as a new national villain. Years later Junior told his official
biographer Raymond B. Fosdick, that the Colorado strike was "one of the most important things
that ever happened to the family" - if nothing else, it demonstrated to him that the future of the
family depended on creating a new public image, one outside corporate business. An entire new
public relations industry was created to focus public attention completely on the charitable work
of the family. Junior turned the family business over to professional managers, and undertook
such projects as saving the redwood trees in California and creating three new national parks. He
financed crusades such as the Interchurch World Movement, an unsuccessful
interdenominationalist effort "to Christianize the world". He also financed the effort to prohibit
the consumption of alcohol in the United States.
He assiduously avoided politics, though he married Abby Aldrich, daughter of Senator Winthrop
Aldrich, the most important Republican leader of his time. His only important business venture,
according to his biographer, was the erection of Rockefeller Center, a colossal office building
complex on Fifth Avenue in the heart of New York City which he bravely built at the height of the
depression in the 1930s. Rockefeller Center, which today provides some 10 million square feet of
office space and brings 174 in rent in the order of a hundred million dollars a year for the
Rockefeller family, instantly became a major tourist attraction with its Art Deco murals workers
in factories and Radio City from which NBC broadcasts its programs. The Center also provided
'Room 5600' which consists in fact of the entire 55th and 56th floors of the tallest building. From
Room 5600, the family's far-flung finances and public were professionally managed.
The public relations operation in Room became especially effective. All Information about the
Rockefellers is stored in either "sensitive" or "public"' files. The former, which might conflict with
the image being promoted, is embargoed or destroyed, The latter is disseminated to writers of
authorized biographies and vetted journalists. Through the careful cultivation of the press, the
public image of public enemy that Rockefeller Junior inherited was subtly transformed to one of a
public benefactor. When died at the age of 86, his six children had already ascended to the highest
strata of the social and political order. No longer outcasts, the Rockefeller heirs became the
twentieth-century American aristocracy.
The Rockefeller heirs grew up in the family enclave at Pocantico Hills. a private fiefdom of some
3500 acres on the Hudson River 50 miles north of New York City. There were employed as many
as 1500 servants, guards. secretaries and other retainers to care for the eleven baronial mansions
on the estate. The playhouse where the heirs spent much of their childhood had an indoor
swimming pool, indoor tennis and courts. billiard tables, two bowling alleys and closets full of
toys. There were also such recreational facilities on the estate as a private golf course, stables,
miles of private riding trails and six swimming pools.
The eldest heir and only daughter, Abby, was born in 1903. "Babs," as she called herself, attended
finishing school, and, as their was no place for a woman in the family power machine, married
three times. Taking on the surnames of her husbands, she became Abbey Milton Pardee Mauze.
Like other women in the Rockefeller family, she was carefully shielded from any public role the
Rockefeller managers who invested her funds, and arranged her political contributions. She was
rarely during her lifetime mentioned in the press by the Rockefeller public relations machine in
Room 5600. Even the authorized biographies of the family, while focusing on her 5 brothers,
minimize her existence. For example, the lengthily official biography of her father mentions her
only once in passing in a footnote referring to her as "Mrs. Jean Mauze." In almost all other family
biographies, she was simply subsumed under the collective title "the Rockefeller messieurs." After
she dies in 1976, a number of professorship were created at Rockefeller University in her name, a
memorial liaison with the Rockefeller dynasty.
The eldest son. John Davidson Rockefeller III, was born in 1906 at a time when his illustrious
grandfather was still hiding out from government investigators. The public outcry over the
Ludlow massacre was part of his childhood memories. 'Mr John', as he was called, chose like his
father to establish himself in philanthropies rather than business.
After graduating from Princeton in 1929, He traveled by ship to Japan immediately the first of
sixteen such trips and concentrated his energy on Asia. His mission became to provide the funds
and support to assist Asian nations to control their populations. He served in the military
government that occupied Japan after the Second World War and as a consultant to the U.S.
Peace Settlement Mission in Japan, and helped create the Asia Society. He won such honors in
Asia as Grand Cordon Order of the Rising sun (in Japan), president of the Japan Society;
chairman of the Asian Society; Most Noble Order of the Crown (in Thailand); Order of the
Thousand Elephants and White Parasol (in Laos). The Population Council, which he sponsored,
had a staff of some 250 doctors, demographers, and social scientists scattered among the less
affluent nations of Asia (and later the world), with "showcases" of birth control in South Korea
and Taiwan. Though he was awarded the Order of the Auspicious Star of China when he was
director of United China Relief (for the Nationalists) , he subsequently counseled the State
Department (in 1949) on another form of population control for Communist China, suggesting
that "trade with China . . . should be limited. It seems to me that the fastest way to contain
Communism is to discredit it in the eyes of the people of China. It seems to me if the [Chinese]
economy worsens that this will arouse opposition to it." He thus helped make food a weapon in
the Cold War.
He died in 1978, in a car crash, not far from Pocantico Hills.
Rockefeller Jr.'s second son, Nelson, born in 1908. With his elder brother superintending the
family's cultural power, he turned his attention to the arena of political power.
His first major sphere of activity was political propaganda. Before he was 30, he became a director
of the Creole Petroleum Company, the subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey which then
provided it with most of its foreign oil from the enormous reserves it controlled in Venezuela. In
examining the position of Creole Oil in Venezuela, Nelson became convinced that public relations
in the host country was essential to retaining control over Latin American oil. In 1939 he and his
associates from the Chase Manhattan Bank and Rockefeller Center prepared a three-page
memorandum for President Franklin D. Roosevelt that suggested the creation of a government
agency to counter Nazi propaganda and covert infiltration in Latin America. FDR. on the
recommendation of an adviser (who later received a loan from Nelson Rockefeller), named
Nelson in 1940 to head the new agency which became known as the Coordinator of InterAmerican Affairs (CIAA) or simply as the Rockefeller Office.
Before America even entered the second world war in 1941, Nelson was actively recruiting the
elites of Latin America. According to a former staff member of the Rockefeller Office, "almost all
our efforts were directed into organizing the pro-Western elites of Venezuela and Brazil into a
private network of influence". Almost exclusively, Latin-American business executives and public
opinion leaders were brought into this network. Then, after the United States entered the war, the
Rockefeller Office directed its major efforts towards outright propaganda.
To gain control over the media of Latin America during the War, Rockefeller obtained a ruling
from the U.S. Treasury Department which exempted the cost of advertisements placed by
American corporations that were cooperating with the Rockefeller Office from taxation. This taxexempt advertising eventually constituted more than 40 per cent. of all radio and newspaper
revenues in Latin America. By selectively directing this advertising towards newspapers and radio
stations that accepted guidance from his office and simultaneously denying it to media which he
deemed uncooperative or pro-Nazi he skillfully managed to gain economic leverage over the
major sources of news throughout South America. Moreover, as the newsprint shortage became
critical in South America, his office made sure that the indispensable newsprint licences were
allocated only to friendly newspapers. With a staff of some 1,200 in the United States, including
mobilized journalists, advertising experts and public opinion analysts, and some $140 million in
government funds (expended over five years), the Rockefeller Office mounted a propaganda effort
virtually unprecedented in the annals of American history. It was also a formative education for
Nelson in the vulnerabilities of the Press.
All the Rockefeller Office's programs were divided into two categories economic warfare" and
"psychological warfare." Nelson explained to a Senate committee at the time: "We consider it an
information program, the objectives to be to explain what is going on in a military way." A battle
plan was thus drawn up for the press campaign. George Gallup, who later became famous as a
political pollster, and a group of prominent social scientists quietly conducted systematic surveys
of' public opinion in Brazil. In a clear adumbration of the postwar CIA, the Rockefeller Office
arranged for a "research division" to employ clandestine "observers" from the Export Bureau of
the American Association of Advertising Agencies in Latin America. The advertising men who
served as "observers" supplied the Rockefeller Office with data concerning the editorial policy,
personal opinions of the owners and editors of the newspapers. Dossiers could thus be
systematically organized about the opinions and operations of the major organs of public opinion
in Latin America.
Under the brilliant tutelage of Francis A. Jamieson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and
public-relations expert (who stayed with Nelson for most of his public career); James W. Young,
head of J. Walter Thompson advertising agency and Karl A. Bickel, former president of United
Press and then chairman of Scripps-Howard Radio, Rockefeller learned the rudiments of
managing news.
From the beginning it became apparent that news was not the product of journalistic
investigation, but of special interest groups. If economic pressure could be brought against the
owners, and incentives given to editors, news in Latin America could be surreptitiously authored
in Washington rather than Berlin or elsewhere. To this end, the Rockefeller Office provided not
only 'canned' editorials, photographs, exclusives, feature stories and other such news material,
but manufactured its own mass circulation magazines, supplements, pamphlets and newsreels.
To ensure understanding of the 'issues' being advanced in Latin America, the Office sent 13,000
opinion leaders a weekly newsletter which was to help them 'clarify' the issues of the day. The
CIAA also arranged trips to the United States for the most influential editors in Latin America
(and later scholarships for their children). More than 1200 newspapers and 200 radio stations,
which survived the economic warfare, were fed a daily diet of some 30,000 words of news in
Spanish and Portuguese, which were disseminated by cooperating news agencies and radio
networks in the United States to their clients in Latin America. By the end of the War, the CIAA
estimated that more than 75 percent of the news that reached Latin America originated from
Washington where it was tightly controlled and monitored by the Rockefeller Office and State
Department. The operation, Nelson realized, required only sufficient money, talent and will.
After the War Nelson divided his time between managing various Rockefeller interests and in
service in various government administrations in Washington. He served President Harry
Truman as chairman of the International Development Advisory Board. He served President
Dwight D. Eisenhower as both under-secretary of the Department of Housing, Education and
Welfare and as a special assistant for foreign affairs.
Nelson believed in power. He explained "power per se is good or bad depending on how it is used
[but] power is essential". To get it, he decided in 1955 to seek the Republican nomination for
governor of New York State. Since no Rockefeller had sought elective office before, Room 5600
had to marshal special resources to ensure that Nelson received the nomination of the Republican
party. At the time the Republican party in New York State was controlled by a few dozen county
leaders in upstate cities, such as Elmira, Syracuse, Rochester and Albany. In New York City, the
one place where the Rockefellers could most easily bring their financial and foundation power to
bear on politicians, the Republican organization was moribund if not totally deceased.
To this end, Nelson made arrangements with two professional politic operators in New York
State, Malcolm Wilson, a legislator who could deal expediently with the Westchester County
Republicans, and Lyman Judson Morhouse, the state Republican Chairman, who, according to
his defense at a subsequent bribery. trial, was a professed 'influence' seller in New York State.
Morhouse proceeded to select Nelson as the chairman of the Committee on the Preparation of a
State Constitutional Convention, which provided convenient access to all grass-root Republican
leaders in the state. But behind the scenes, Morhouse played an even more important role in
helping Rockefeller make his separate peace with various county leaders, by collecting cash
contributions of one sort or another from pro-Rockefeller sources and redistributing them where
necessary to help towards securing the Republican nomination for Nelson. Nelson not only
succeeded in easily winning the election, but provided more than half the campaign funds for the
entire Republican party.
As both chairman of the party and the director of the powerful State Thruway Commission (to
which Nelson appointed him), Morhouse continued his service as a political bagman and allpurpose fixer during the first three years of the Rockefeller administration. During these years he
collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from watch manufacturers, drug laboratories, lessees
for space at the airport, highway contractors (through the Good Road Association), radio and
television licensees in New York State, detective agencies seeking concessions at the 1960 World's
Fair, and others seeking indulgences from the State of New York. Whether Morhouse was
collecting this money for his own account, or simply laundering the money for undercover
politics, Nelson was aware of the operation. For example, in June 1959, he personally witnessed
Morhouse receive a hundred thousand dollars. in a 'shoe box' at a Republican Party dinner, and
ordered the money returned because, he later testified, he "was fearful that this was race track
money [from] people who wanted to get a licence for a racetrack".
While such backstage redistributions of cash from those seeking and owed favors was hardly
novel in New York State politics, Nelson was able to change the rules of the game by infusing vast
amounts of money into the subterranean system through ingenious use of his own personal
fortune and the institutions under his family's sway. Providing Morhouse with cash, untraceable
in any way to the Rockefellers, required, however, the unique institutional resources of the
Rockefeller Brothers and Associates in Room 5600 of Rockefeller Center. It sold Morhouse 2500
shares in a privately held corporation, the Marks Oxygen Company, for a nominal $25,000 (No
money actually changed) and then proceed to buy the stock back from Morhouse for $79,375,
leaving a profit of more than $50,000 in Morhouse's account. A similar arrangement was made
on shares of Geophysics Corporation of America deposited in Morhouse's account, which rose
almost tenfold, and left Morhouse with a paper profit of a quarter of a million dollars.
When Morhouse, overheard on a wire tap arranging a hundred thousand dollar bribe for
obtaining a liquor licence for the Playboy Club, was convicted of conspiracy and bribery, Nelson,
as governor, pardoned him on medical grounds before he could spend any time in prison.
As governor, Rockefeller demonstrated that he was a masterful orchestrator of both the levers and
symbols of political power. He immediately found that the condition that satisfied most of the
politically important interest groups in the state was the massive government construction
program. Journalistic critics of Rockefeller in those years who attributed his monumental
building projects to some sort of psychological 'erection complex' underestimated the political
profit such vast expenditures on construction gained for him from key unions and business
interests in the state. The political problem, which restrained Rockefeller's predecessors from
constructing public works on a scale of the Egyptian pyramids, was that they could not be paid for
out of taxes, since the wrath of the electorate over tax increases would far outweigh any
advantages from special interest groups pleased with the expenditures. Nor was it easy to finance
these projects through issuing long-term bonds, which had the obvious advantage of deferring tax
burdens to future generations of taxpayers, because such bonds had to be approved by the
electorate at a referendum.
With characteristic ingenuity, Nelson over-rode this stumbling block to expansion by devising
special authorities which could issue long-term debt without the approval of the voters. These
bonds were not legally backed by the full faith of the state, since they by-passed constitutional
requirement of a referendum, but Nelson pledged the full moral authority of the state the bonds,
bond buyers assumed that this pledge was tantamount to a state obligation. Through these "Moral
obligation" bonds, as they came to be called, New York State raised over $6 billion. Through these
and other innovation, its debt during the Rockefeller administrations rose from $1 billion to $13
billion, allowing Nelson to engage in a massive building and spending.
Under anyone but Nelson, there might have been great resistance among state officials to such
unorthodox bonds. Nelson, however, succeeded in engendering loyalty among his key officials by
quietly distributing to them over one million dollars in cash from his private funds. Typically,
Rockefeller's secret loans that became gifts went to such instrumental state officials as the
Superintendent of Banks, members of the State Housing Financing agency, the Commissioner of
the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Commissioner of Housing and
Community Renewal. While some officials receive hundreds of thousands of dollars from
Rockefeller, others received the promise of future employment in his family's empire.
While Rockefeller's ability to dispense largesse conflicted with the New York State Penal Code
which explicitly prohibited conferring "any benefit upon a public official for having engaged in
official conduct . Rockefeller asserted, when the gifts were finally made public by an FBI
investigation in 1974, that he gave the cash to the public servants. out of his esteem for them, not
out of any motive related to the work they were performing for him as governor. Because of his
carefully managed reputation as a philanthropist the matter was never referred to a court for
adjudication.
Nelson next set his sights on the Presidency. In his first effort to secure the Republican
nomination for the presidency, in 1964, he used $12 million of the family's money. He failed,
however. To win enough delegates to stop Barry Goldwater, a senator who strongly identified
himself as an ideological conservative (and who went on to lose the general election).
Nelson's advisors told him he needed a more conservative image to win the Republican
nomination in 1968. The solution he found was an issue that conveyed a tough conservative image
to the law and order elements in the Republican Party, but which would not at the same time
offend the more moderate elements in the party; it was the suppression of drug addicts. He cited
polls that "document that the number one, and growing concern of the American people is crime
and drugs, coupled with an all-pervasive fear for the safety of their person and property"
It was this well researched "all-pervasive Rockefeller set out to exploit brilliantly. The crusade
against addicts reached its zenith in 1973 Rockefeller declared that a "reign of terror" existed with
"whole neighborhoods . . . as effectively destroyed by addicts as by an invading army.
He pressed through the legislature laws which by-passed both the discretion of the court and the
prosecutor by making it mandatory that anyone convicted of selling (or possessing more than
one-eighth ounce of) heroin, amphetamines, LSD, or other specified drugs would be imprisoned
for life without the possibility of parole. Even 16-year-old offenders hitherto protected by the
youthful offenders law would receive automatic life sentences. Thousand-dollar bounties would
be paid for information about these drugs. In another legal innovation the new law laid down life
imprisonment (without parole) for the novel crime of ingesting a hard drug (including
amphetamines or LSD) 48 hour's or less before committing a proscribed crime, including
criminal mischief, sodomy, burglary, assault and arson. This draconian law made it possible to
imprison undesirable users for the balance of their lite since they had only to be convicted of a
minor crimes after ingesting drugs to which they were addicted.
The Rockefeller laws succeeded in enhancing Rockefeller's reputation among the hardline
element of the Republican party without losing very much support anywhere else, as few people
in America were concerned with the fate of drug addicts. To his more moderate supporters,
Rockefeller justified the law by explaining, as he did in his senate testimony, "about 135,000
[addicts] were robbing, mugging, murdering day in and day out for their money to fix their habit,
and it was costing the people of New York up to $5 billion". Rockefeller had obviously learned in
his long experience in psychological warfare that numbers could be effectively employed in
political rhetoric, even if they had no basis in fact, if they only sounded enormous and
authoritative enough. In this case, if Rockefeller's alleged army of addicts maintained the "day in,
day out" schedule they would have to commit something in the order of 49,275,000 robberies,
muggings and murders a year, which would mean that the average resident of New York would be
robbed, mugged and murdered approximately seven times a year.
The hyperbole not withstanding, Nelson had his issue. In speech after speech, with masterful
vampire imagery, he agitated the popular fear that the population of New York would be
decimated by a horde of addicts, infecting the innocent children. Through the agency of the
generalized fear of drugs, Rockefeller was able not only to win elections but to project in the
popular imagination a new nationwide crisis which he alone, among the nation's politicians, had
the experience to solve. A newly created commission which supposedly supervised the involuntary
rehabilitation of addicts, but which had on its staff many more public relations specialists than
medical doctors and psychiatrists, systematically developed through its own nationally circulated
newspapers (Attack), newsletters and contacts with the media, the highly dramatized image of
heroin addicts as drug slaves, who were ineluctably compelled to steal and ravage by their
incurable habit. The size of the addict population in New York proved infinitely flexible. When it
was necessary to demonstrate the need for more police measures or judges, Rockefeller expanded
the number of putative addicts from 25,000 (1966) to 150,000 (1972) to 200,000 (1973). For
other audiences, especially when Rockefeller wanted to show the efficacy of his program, the army
of addicts was conveniently contracted to under 100,000.
Nelson asked rhetorically in the New York Law Journal, "How can we defeat drug abuse before it
destroys America? I believe the answer lies in summoning the total commitment America has
always demonstrated in times of national crisis . . . Drug addiction represents a threat akin to war
in its capacity to kill, enslave, and imperil the nation's future; akin to cancer in spreading of
deadly disease among us and equal to any other challenge we face in deserving all the brainpower,
manpower and resources necessary to overcome it." He then asked rhetorically, "Are the sons and
daughters of a generation that survived the great depression and rebuilt a prosperous nation, that
defeated Nazism and Fascism and preserved the free world, to be vanquished by a powder,
needles and pills?" Indeed, he played the politics of fear so adroitly that President Nixon
borrowed much of his rhetoric, images and statistical hyperbole on drugs and crime, when
launching his own national heroin crusade.
Although Rockefeller's draconian drug laws had little effect on either drug addiction or crime rate
in New York, they helped him to achieve the national prominence and acceptance by the hardline
elements of the Republican party that he needed if he was to stand for the presidency when
Nixon's final term of office was due to expire in 1976. In December 1973, in what members of his
staff foresaw as the beginning of the presidential campaign, Rockefeller resigned as governor and
announced that he was going to spend his full time directing the Commission on Critical Choices,
which he had set up with family and foundation money several months earlier. Ostensibly, this
Commission was designed to "seek a clearer sense of national purpose" but, as did the earlier
Rockefeller panels, the well financed organization also served as a vehicle for gathering together
the most important molders of public opinion in America and, with their assistance, determining
issues of public policy they should support. To articulate possible positions the Commission also
paid various academics fees ranging from five to thirty thousand dollars. Every word they wrote
was scrutinized by the former governor's Press secretary, Hugh Morrow, to gauge the political
impact it might, if published, have on Rockefeller's political ambitions.
The political plan for 1976, however, had to be radically altered after the collapse of the Watergate
coverup made it apparent that President Nixon would not finish his term of office. Nixon's vice
president Spiro Agnew, had been forced to resign because of his own criminal culpability, and
replaced by Gerald Ford, the leader of the Republicans in the House. When Nixon resigned in
August 1974, Ford became president. With another term available to him in 1976, Rockefeller's
chances for the presidential nominations were effectively ended. He therefore accepted Ford's
offer to appoint him his vice president.
After extended Congressional inquiries into his financial resources he was confirmed by a vote of
287 to 128 in the House and 90 to 7 in the Senate. He was sworn in as the 41st vice president on
Dec. 19, 1974.
He retired from politics in 1977, and died in 1979 in New York City, during a tryst with a 25 year
old lover.
The middle heir, Laurance Spelman Rockefeller. was born in New York City in 1910. Like his
brothers, he attended an Ivy League college, Princeton. When the war broke out in 1941, he joined
the Navy. As a lieutenant-commander in the production division, he superintended relations
between the Navy and aviation contractors. As such, he developed a keen interest in military
technology.
After the war, while his two elder brothers pursued careers in philanthropy and politics, Laurance
became a high-technology entrepreneur. He provided the financing for Captain Eddie
Rickenbacker, the First World War aviation ace, to buy the aviation division from General Motors
and turn it into Eastern Airlines, which subsequently became profitable (after it was awarded the
highly lucrative route to Puerto Rico by the government). On the basis of his war-time experience,
he assumed that it would only be a matter of time before the government began replacing
bombers with missiles, and he bought a New Jersey company, Reaction Motors, Inc., which had
developed an early rocket engine along the lines of the captured German V-2 rocket. When the
United States government chose Reaction Motors to make the engine for its newly-developed
Viking missile, he made a small fortune. As missiles became more sophisticated, he invested
heavily in Marquadt Aviation whose stock value increased 1000 per cent after it became publicly
known that the government was buying its ram jet rocket engine for its next generation of
missiles. Laurance was also instrumental in financing the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, which
became a prime supplier of aircraft for the Navy.
During the 1950s, Laurance continued to invest heavily in newly-formed companies specializing
in military technology. The profits generated by the fluctuation of the stock prices of these
companies proved a useful source of funds for the Rockefeller family, including his more
politically ambitious elder brother, Nelson.
Laurance used his wealth to establish himself as a leading protector of the environment. He
provided immense subsidies for America's national parks, including Yellowstone National Park,
Marsh- Billings National Historical Park and the Grand Tetons, which helped cordon them off
from commercial development. He funded the Conservation foundations, developed resort hotels
in natural surrounding to build public support for conservation and served as an environmental
advisor under presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford.
Rockefeller's fourth son, Winthrop, was born in 1912. He attended Yale but, unlike his elder
brothers, who earned honors degrees at college, Winthrop dropped out before graduating and
went to work as a roustabout in the Texas oil fields. Although the Rockefeller family was
desperately attempting to dissociate its public image from that of the oil companies, ne became a
junior executive at Socony-Vacuum Oil (of which the Rockefeller family owned the largest single
share). In World War II, he sought out a combat assignment in the Pacific and after being
wounded, emerged as a decorated war hero.
Winthrop also proved a maverick in his marital arrangements. Rather than marrying upward into
society, like the rest of the family, he married Barbara "Bo Bo" Sears the beautiful daughter of an
impovished farmer who the press had a field day describing as a "Cinderella." After sufficiently
embarrassing the family, he divorced her.
At the age of 41, he left the eastern base of the family and moved to Arkansas, buying a sizeable
portion of the state. His 50,000-acre cattle ranch, Winrock Farms, was not only used by him to
produce beef but as a venue for holding seminars on the future of Arkansas and modernizing the
South. He also served as chairman of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission.
Gradually, he established a base for himself and the Rockefeller family in politics in Arkansas, and
the southern wing of the Republican party. In 1966, he was elected governor of Arkansas, and he
was reelected to another two-year term in 1968. Win, as he called himself in Arkansas, died of
cancer on February 22, 1973, and was buried in Morrilton, Arkansas.
Rockefeller Junior's youngest child, David. was the only heir born after the 1915
Ludlow Massacre. After graduating from Harvard and attending the London School
of Economics he received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1940 from the
University of Chicago and then became a trustee of the institution his grandfather
founded. He served for eighteen months as an unpaid secretary to the mayor of New
York City, and then as a Housing Administrator for the Office of Defense. In 1942,
he joined the Army where he rapidly rose as an intelligence officer to the rank of
Assistant Military Attache in the American Embassy in Paris. He was duly admitted
to the French Legion of Honor in 1945.
His real ambition in life was international banking. Immediately after the War,
David went to work for the Chase National Bank, of which his uncle. Winthrop W.
Aldrich, was then Chairman of the Board. As an assistant manager of the foreign
department, David specialized in opening branches and expanding the bank's
influence in the areas of Latin America in which his elder brother had established
interests. The former co-ordinator, Nelson, had quietly transferred the operation of
the wartime Rockefeller Office to two Rockefeller-owned entities IBEC
(International Basic Economics Corporation). a profit-making corporation which
was investing in agriculture and marketing companies in South America, and taking
full advantage of the network of businessmen which Rockefeller had assembled
during the War, and AIA, the American International Association for Economic and
Social Development which encompassed non-profit activities such as grants and
scholarships, thus maintaining liaisons between local government officials and
leading members of the Latin American Press. David was also successful in
establishing a close working relation in Panama with the closely-knit financial and
political families that more or less ran the government of that country.
With Rockefeller interests owning the largest block of stock in Chase, and two seats
on its Board of Directors, David rapidly ascended to the presidency of the bank in
1961, when he was only 44. The Chase Manhattan Bank, as it was called after it
absorbed the Manhattan Bank in 1955, was even then one of the three most
powerful banks in the United States with assets over $10 billion. As head of this
international financial institution, David criss-crossed the world numerous times
during the Sixties, dining with kings and heads of states, and compiling index cards
of some 20,000 acquaintances on whom he could possibly call for assistance. A
member of the elite Council on Foreign Relations since 1942 and an active
participant in the public and private gatherings of the so-called Eastern
Establishment, David became the single most effective spokesman for the entire
American business community.
The brothers Rockefeller had firmly laid the foundation for cultural as well as political power in
America. They possessed not only an immense fortune, which was still controlled as a unit from
Room 5600 in Rockefeller Center, but also impressive individual qualities and talent. John
Rockefeller III had established a sphere of influence in the cultural and scientific universes
through his generous disbursement of grants and contributions from the foundations under his
aegis. Nelson proved himself a brilliant manager of public opinion and an able politician.
Lawrence, an intelligent entrepreneur worthy of his grandfather, demonstrated that he was able
to take full advantage of the developments in military technology that came to his attention and
play a dominant role in the emerging environmental establishment. Winthrop, though a
maverick, managed to establish a political base for himself in the South. And David, through his
ability and connections, had assumed full control over a financial institution that touched almost
all major forms of business in the world.
Their public image had been elevated from that of outcasts at the time of their grandfather's trustbuilding to that of dedicated public servants. This feat had been accomplished through a 40-yearlong refinement of public data about the family by such masters of public relations as Ivy Lee,
Francis Jamieson, and William Ruder, and the organizations these men built for the family
account. Through their tax-exempt foundations and "philanthropies," and the dispensation of
over $1 billion to intellectual and scientific enterprises, the brothers had also woven a strong, if
sometimes invisible, web of influence that touched in one way or another virtually all the activities
of those who articulate issues in the mainstream of public life.
In 1956, for example, the brothers involved more than a hundred of the most influential men in
America in a four-year long dialogue on various issues of concern to the family. The agenda for
these panels was planned by Henry A. Kissinger who would late become President Nixon and
Ford's national security adviser and Secretary of State, and who had been an advisor to Nelson
Rockefeller for a dozen years. These Rockefeller panels, as they were called, were aimed at
forming a consensus among the decision-making elite on such issues"'foreign policy," the nature
of the "communist threat," responses to "concealed aggression," "nuclear strategy," "economic
policies", and the "reconstruction of the democratic consensus". Through such meetings, they
effectively defined what became the establishment position on these issues for the balance of the
millennium.
While many families in America aggregated great fortunes, as can be judged by the annual Forbes
500 list, the Rockefellers managed to transmute their accumulated wealth into a much rarer
commodity: the power over the political- intellectual cultural complex.

One of the 13 Satanic bloodlines that rule the world is the Rockefeller bloodline.
Today, there are around 190 members of this family with the Rockefeller name and
of course some others by other last names. This article is to explore further for those
who investigate the Illuminati, how the Rockefeller bloodline is involved in the
promotion of the occult and Satanism, and how they are involved in the control of
the Christian denominations. This article keys in on just one family, the Rockefellers.
To understand the full extent of the Illuminatis control of religion, including
Christendom, would require perhaps several books. The Illuminati itself draws its
lifeblood from around 500 very powerful families worldwide. This article will not
attempt to explain their networks and the many organizations of the Illuminati. It will
not even try to do this for the Rockefellers. In fact, no one knows how many trusts
and foundations the Rockefellers have. They have hidden trusts within secret trusts
within secret trusts. It is estimated that they have between 200 and several
thousand trusts and foundations. The finances of the Rockefellers are so well covered
that Nelson Rockefeller did not pay one cent in income taxes in 1970, yet he was
perhaps the richest man in the U.S. The Rockefellers exert enormous influence over
religion in this nation in the following ways:
1. They provide a large share of the money that Seminaries in the United
States need to operate.
2. They provide a large share of the money that universities need to operate.
Education influences the religious values of our people.
3. They provide large grants to various religious organizations.
4. Their influence and control helps determine who will get publicity in the major
news magazines, and on television.
5. Their influence has contributed to various anti-Christian organizations being set
up.
6. They directly help control certain religious groups such as Lucis Trust.
The Rockefellers influence is both subtle and not so subtle.
In the book The Unholy Alliance details are given on how the seminaries, church
boards and Christian colleges have been captured. Much of the money for this came
from the Rockefellers. One of the principle large Foundations that was instrumental in
controlling religious institutions of various kinds was the Sealantic Fund. (They have
now shifted to other channels.) This Foundation which was incorporated in 1938 and
was headquartered in New York City (50 West 50th St.) gave enormous sums of
money to manipulate Protestant concerns. In 1964, according to the Russell Sage
Foundations book The Foundation Directoy the Sealantic Fund gave away $681, 886
in grants.*
In 1969, the Fund gave $1,889,550 in grants.**
By 1984, the Sealantic Fund was not being used. But a look at another Rockefeller
non-profit untaxed Foundation the Rockefeller Brothers Fund shows a revealing grant
pattern. Many people would not be able make any sense out of what seems a
random pattern of grants without the broad picture of what the Illuminati is doing
today. My book Be Wise As Serpents should have clarified how those various groups
who receive grants are related and helpful to the Rockefeller agenda. Although these
other Rockefeller Foundations are not specifically geared toward religion such as the
Sealantic Fund was, it is clear these other Foundations still impact religion.

Catholic institutions have been large recipients of grants from foundations connected
to the World Order. The Catholic Church, the Episcopalian Church, and the UnitarianUniversalist Church are all playing big roles in the New World Order for the Satanists.
One ex-Satanist has talked about visits that were made with the Pope and Vatican
leaders, where the Pope dealt with this person as a member of the Illuminati. In
other words the Pope was not in the Illuminati hierarchy, but he carries out
transactions with them, and coordinates his actions according to their instructions.
We will now go into some depth on the six items above.
1. They provide a large share of the money that Seminaries in the United States
need to operate.
The Union Theological Seminary has operated from Rockefeller funds.***** UTS
hasnt been the only Protestant Seminary receiving Rockefeller funds, but it may be
the best example of a seminary controlled by the Rockefellers. The Sealantic Fund
stated under its purpose and activities, Current interests are primarily Protestant
theological education...... ******
The President of the Sealantic Fund when it operated was David Rockefeller, and
Laurance (not Lawrence) S. Rockefeller was Vice-President. Steven C. Rockefeller
was one of the trustees.
2. They provide a large share of the money that universities need to operate.
Education influences the religious values of our people.
In 1952, Congressman Eugene E. Cox headed up a committee that for the first time
tried to uncover the Rockefellers (and others) foundations activities. For some
reason, Cox encountered stiff opposition everywhere against his committees
investigation, and the Congressman for some reason got sick and died. One member
of the committee, Congressman Carroll Reese, and his Counsel Rene Wormser
attempted to continue the investigation. Rockefellers henchmen and newspapers did
their best to destroy Congressman Reese. The Reese investigation was given only the
barest minimum of time and little resources for their investigation. However, they
were still able to uncover that beginning in the 1930s vast sums of money were
spent in Education by the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations. This money went to
promote John Dewey, Marxism, a One-World-Government agenda, and Socialism.
The foundations (principally the Rockefeller and Carnegie) stimulated two-thirds of
the total endowment funding of all institutions of higher learning in America during
the first third of this 20th century.*******
The NEA (National Education Association was largely financed by the
Rockefeller/Carnegie foundations. A 1934 NEA report advised, A dying laissez-faire
must be completely destroyed and all of us, including the owners, must be
subjected to a large degree of social control. Reece Committee Counsel Rene
Wormser wrote of the investigation, ...leads one to the conclusion that there was,
indeed, something in the nature of an actual conspiracy among certain leading
educators in the United States to bring about socialism through the use of our school
systems... They discovered that the Rockefeller foundation was the primary culprit
behind the teaching of socialism in Americas schools and universities and also
behind the NEAs policies. Rene Wormser, Counsel for the Reece Committee reported,
A very powerful complex of foundations and allied organizations has developed over
the years to exercise a high degree of control over education. Part of this complex,
and ultimately responsible for it, are the Rockefeller and Carnegie groups of
foundations. This was the situation in the 1950s when the Reece Committee briefly
investigated. The Rockefeller-Carnegie groups have continued basically unopposed
for the next 40 years in controlling education. One of the educational book producers
is Grolier, Inc. Avery Rockefeller, Jr. sits on Grolier, Inc. board meetings. Another
interesting board member is Theodore Wailer who is the director of Grolier, Inc. He
was a member of the International Book Committee of UNESCO. The Rockefellers
maintain great influence in the United Nations.
3. They provide large grants to various religious organizations.
On Jan. 31, 1945, John D. Rockefeller addressed the Protestant Council of the City of
N.Y. and told them that the answer to the problems Christianity was that Christianity
needed to become the Church of the Living God. Many listening that day, may not
have realized that he and other top Illuminati consider themselves gods, and that the
solution John D. was cryptically giving was for Christianity to serve him a living god.
(Rockefeller, John D. The Christian Church- What of its Future? NY:
Protestant Council, 1945, & 1917.)
4. Their influence and control helps determine who will get publicity in the major
news magazines.
The Rockefeller family has enormous controls over various magazines and
newspapers. Let us examine how the power of the press can be used in religion. One
of the magazines that the Rockefellers have some control over is Time magazine.
Times board chairman, Andrew Heiskell was associated with David Rockefeller.
Another Illuminatus of the 6th level1 Henry J. Fisher, ran McCalls Magazine from
1917 to 1956. The establishments media boosted Anton LaVeys Church of Satan
into prominence. The Jan. 31, 1967 New York Daily News ran a story about Anton
LaVey performing the first Satanic wedding ceremony in America. The March 1970
issue of McCalls ran a nice story about the Church of Satan. Not only is LaVeys
Church of Satan a publicity stunt to make Satanism more popular and to deflect
criticism of real covert Satanism, the McCall issue makes Anton LaVeys church sound
even better in the article than it is. (For those brainwashed folks who think that this
free advertising for Anton LaVey was just for the sake of finding a good story for the
Daily News and McCall, I can show you dozens of better juicier stories that never
have seen the light of day--because they are contrary to what the Illuminati want
people to hear. I wont argue that a story on Satanism may be interesting, I am
pointing out that many other interesting stories dont get printed. Stories are
selected by an editor, they dont just happen.) Finally on June 19, 1972 Time
Magazine provided more coverage for LaVey with an article The Occult: A Substitute
Faith. Believe me, the sincere devout Christian groups havent ever received such
nice free publicity. Im not referring to men like 33 Mason Billy Graham, who works
for the New World Order and Knights Templar Mason Charles T. Russell, founder of
the Watchtower Society who both received great press coverage. Another minor
example, and I am pointing out minor examples because they occur many times
during the course of year, is Van Danikens UFO books. Lew Wasserman, head of
MCA, which owns G.P. Putnams Sons, is a member of the Rockefeller University
Council. G.P. Putnams Sons published Van Danikens anti-Christian UFO religious
theories. Cadence Industries own Marvel Comics. The men on the board of Cadence
sit under David Rockefeller in places like the CFR. Is it any wonder Marvel Comics
promotes the occult and heros like The Son of Satan? Where does the buck stop?
You say that the Rockefellers dont control subordinates. Bear in mind, that many of
the Rockefellers call themselves Baptists. If they are really Christians dont you think
they could use their influence to stop such terrible things? The point is that the
rottenness starts at the top. The rest of the pyramid has a hard time turning out O.K.
when the top of the pyramid is dedicated to Satan. Rockefeller and Hearst worked
together in their news monopolies. It was Hearst who promoted both books on
Satanism and Billy Graham. (If you learn what I know--the two are not
contradictory.) Hearst made Billy Graham who he is today by financially backing him
and publicizing him. Rockefeller was supportive of Billy Grahams New York Crusade,
and the Manhattan-Chase Bank helped Billy Graham out.
5. Their influence has contributed to various anti-Christian organizations being set
up.
Maurice Strong is a good friend of the Rockefellers. He has been promoting Mother
Gaia worship. David Rockefeller works with Maurice Strong and his New Age ideas.
Reverend Moon from Korea has been very much loved by the Rockefellers. Moon calls
himself Christ and is setting up a religion promoting internationalism. His religion is
also a good testing ground for brainwashing/recruiting techniques that are being
perfected by the NWO. The Rockefellers have been helping Moon, who also has his
primary mansion in NY. Also of interest is that the prominent political figures that
have endorsed Moon are those with ties to the NWO, and include Ted Kennedy,
Mason Mark C. Hatfield, Mason Jesse Helms, & Illuminatus William F. Buckley, Jr.
(See pg. 32-33 of The Puppet Master by J. Isamu Yamamoto.) A lesser known group
is the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship (SFF) in Independence, MO. Their address was
Exec. Plaza, 10715 Winner Rd, 64052. They were founded in 1956. Just like
Reverend Moon they claim to be Christians, but teach and practice other things. They
teach and practice the occult. Two prominent men in SFF are Marcus
Bach and Gardner Murphy. They both have interesting backgrounds. Marcus Bach
shows the touch of the Rockefellers. Marcus Bach, born in 1906, is director
of special projects for SFF. The Rockefeller Foundation granted him a fellowship in
research and creative writing from 1934-36. Gardner Murphy was the consultant in
1950 for UNESCO in New Delhi to the Hindus of the Indian Ministry of Education.
From 52-68 he was director of research at the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, KS.
(Yes, psychology is led mainly by occultists!) Menninger himself is a member of
several environmental groups for the elite, an Honorary trustee of the Aspen
Institute, a Freemason, member of ACLU, and a close associate of W. Clement Stone.
W. Clement Stone in turn is also a Mason, a member of the occult American Society
for Psychical Research, and the financial backer of the Menninger Foundation. The
Federal Council of Churches was financed to a large extent by Rockefeller money. In
my Be Wise As Serpents book I detail how the FCC was designed to destroy
Christianity, how they carefully plotted to make the creation of the FCC look like a
grass roots movement, when it was actually the creation of the elite (Illuminati). I
further detail how the men who ran it were high ranking Masons, Socialists, and OneWorlders. Also shown is how they carefully manipulated the real gospel for their own
devious ends.
6. They directly help control certain religious groups such as Lucis Trust.
David Rockefeller is part of Lucis Trusts management. Lucis Trust puts out the book
Externalization of the Hierarchy by Alice Bailey which spells out The Plan for the
Satanists and New Agers on how the spiritual Hierarchy (actually the demonic
hierarchy) is to externalize their rule of the planet. The book gives quite a few of the
details of the plan, and is used as a textbook for New Agers at the Arcane Schools in
NY, London, and Europe on how the New Age/One World Religion/One-WorldGovernment will be brought in. If anyone doubts the Rockefellers commitment to
Satan, read page 107 of Externalization of the Hierarchy. On page 107 Alice Bailey,
President of the Theosophical Society and part of Lucis (formerly Lucifer) Trust, tells
us who will rule when the New Age (New World Order) takes over. On the Earthly
level--Humanity so to speak, the Ruler is given on page 107 as Lucifer. On the
Spiritual level--called Shamballa - the Holy City the coming ruler is given as the
Lord of the World which we Christians know as Satan. Lucis Trust knows it is Satan
too, but for public consumption they say that the ruler of the world is Sanat (a
scrambling of Satan) Kumara. They also predict there will be a Christ Consciousness
and the Christ (actually the Anti-Christ) The book Externalization of the Hierarchy
teaches repeatedly (see pages 511-512, 514) that the 3 vehicles to bring in the New
Age will be the Masonic Lodges, (obviously not everyone attends Lodges), next the
Churches (this is clearly revealing to us that men like the Rockefellers are using the
churches for the Luciferian plan of Lucis Trust), and finally Education (Well, of course
education. Not everyone attends churches. They need a safety net to catch everyone
in their brainwashing to make us all want to be happy slaves under the Light-bearer.)
The home life of the Rockefellers is decidedly different than for most people. They
have over 100 homes to stay at. The Rockefellers own vast tracts of good land in
various countries in South America, and have nice homes in Brazil, Ecuador, and their
Monte Sacro Ranch, Venezuela. They have two mansions in Washington, D.C. (at
least), numerous ranches around the United States, resorts in Hawaii, Puerto Rico,
and the Caribbean, a 32- room 5th Ave duplex in N.Y., not to mention their place at
Seal Harbor, Maine, and the large estate at Pocantico Hills, NY. It is estimated that
they have 2,500 house servants. Over the years, they have built up the reputation of
being miserly with their help, and to each other. (I couldnt begin to know all about
the Rockefellers, but I can give a sampling of some of the many items that surround
the real lives of Americas top Illuminati family.) Winthrop, who is homosexual,,
enjoyed living in Arkansas with his black male friend. He reportedly had the worlds
largest porn collection. Winifred Rockefeller Emeny, Nelsons cousin, murdered her
two children and committed suicide.
Michael Rockefeller died when he tried to bribe New Guinea tribesmen with large
sums of money to go head hunt and make shrunken heads for him. The natives had
given up head hunting and Michael couldnt successfully bribe them. Finally getting
of this man exposing Satanism.) One of the important lineages has remained secret
until 3 investigators named Lincoln, Leigh, and Bageant were spoon-fed leads and
secrets. They put this into a book called "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." I recommend the
book and the two books which are its sequels, because they show how just one part
of the 13 lineages has kept itself secret and has taken immense power of all forms to
themselves. In Southern Belgium there is a castle. (If any one is traveling there and
wants to find the castle, I will show them on the map, and describe it.) This is the
Mothers of Darkness castle. In that castle, is a cathedral and in that cathedrals
basement a little baby Is sacrificed daily and Is coming to power. The pages are
written almost round the clock. (This castle is also described in my Be Wise as
Serpents book.) The history in that handwritten book would reveal the real facts
behind the propaganda that the worlds major news medias give the gullible public.
The history as that book reveals it would tell people about how Abraham Lincoln was
a descendent of the Rothschild's. Abraham Uncoin was the secret head of the
Rosicrucian's, a member of their 3 headed top council. (I have seen the paper trail
proof to these things about Lincoln to my satisfaction that these things about Uncoin
are true.) Adolph Hitler was also a secret member of the Rothschild lineage. Hitler
carried out blood sacrifices to open his mind up to high level demonic spiritual
control. Rockefeller sold Hitler oil during W.W. II via Spain to keep W.W. II going
longer. The history in that book mentions people that the history books given the
public dont-- like Michael Augustus Martinelli Von Braun Rheinhold, the most
powerful Satanist in the world a few years ago. Michael Augustus Martinelli Von
Braun Rheinhold had 66 Satanic Brides. And that Satanic book in the Mothers of
Darkness castle also mentions the Rockefeller bloodline. Only insiders are supposed
to know the real history of what has taken place in human history. The real decisions
and the real movers and shakers have been hidden from the publics eyes. What the
public is given is a stage show where illuminati puppets parade around and make big
speeches according to their script. Each of the 13 families has their own set of
Mothers of Darkness. Each of the 13 families has their own secret Satanic leadership
Kings, Queens, Princesses and Princes of Darkness. For instance, the Rockefeller
family has people who are selected as Kings and Princes within their own bloodline in
secret rituals. The Kings and Princes, Queens and Princesses are strictly bloodline.
They secretly rule over an area of the world for their own bloodline. This is
independent of the illuminati's hierarchy which was diagrammed in the Jan 1993
newsletter. (my Newsletter from a Christian Ministry.) In the January, 1993 issue the
Covens, Sisters of Light, Mothers of Darkness, and the Grande Mothers were
diagrammed. The illuminati pulls its various bloodlines together under several
councils. The Grande Druid Council or your Council of 13 is your principle council for
the Brotherhood of Death. Above the Council of 13 is a higher Council of 9, and an
inner group of 3 is believed to head that Council of Nine. How do we know about
these things? The power of God has reached into the very heart of Satans empire
and pulled out some of the most powerful Satanists and drawn them to Christ. There
are several Satanists that were at the top which have managed to find Christ. in
addition, some of the next echelon of the hierarchy, such as some of the Mothers of
Darkness are also finding Christ. if someone wants to understand how and why
decisions are made in world affairs and by who-- then you need to study the
illuminati. The real answers do not rest with the proceedings of the Congress of the
United States or with the publicly known leaders of the Communist countries. An
example of what I am talking, there is a book entitled "Who Financed Hitler" by
James Pool and Suzanne Pool. I am always glad to see that some people are wiling to
look behind the scenes. Believe me, there were people that Hitler listened to. They
were the people he went to ritual with, and who put him into power.
The Rockefellers have played a role in Lucis Trust and the United Nations.
Interestingly, you will notice that Prince Charles is the spokesperson for Lucis Trust
and also works with the United Nations in various ways. Prince Charles Is from
another satanic bloodline. Readers need to study my Be Wise As Serpents book to
see how Lucis Trust fits into things. The Rockefellers were involved in the creation of
the FBI, so that the FBI has always been an arm of power for the Illuminati. That is
why there are official FBI programs in action today to kidnap children and provide
them for sacrifice. Yes, American people, the wolf was set in charge of guarding the
chicken coop. The organization that is working as part of the FBI is the Finders. (The
stink was so bad that US. News & World Report did a story to soften the impact of
the scandal. See the article on a following page. Ex-Satanists who worked with the
FBI to receive the children the FBI kidnapped and sold to them for sacrifice have
been trying to get the word out publicly about the FBIs corruption. When the
Illuminati was beginning to get exposed in the Franklin Saving & Loan case in
Lincoln, NE the FBI was part of the dirty actors and was part of the cover up. The
Rockefellers have had control over the FBI since they helped get it started. When
Congress wanted to investigate the CIA for wrongdoing the appointed a Commission
headed by Rockefeller to investigate the CIAs wrongdoings! Yes, the Rockefeller
Commission did a big study and slapped the hands of the CIA for a few misdeeds.
Their report is still cited as the big investigation of the CIA. Some investigation!
Since the Rockefeller family work hand in hand with the CIA to create Monarch
slaves, of course that part of the CIAs misdeeds got overlooked!
A recent convert from Satanism, Michael McArthur, has given validated inside
information about the FBI and the CIA programs which kidnap children in order to
supply Satanic rituals with sacrificial material. The names of the agents who spend
their official government time kidnapping children for Satanism that Michael knows
about are as follows:

ROCKEFELLER 666
The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great
authorityMen worshiped the dragon because he had given
authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and
asked, Who is like the beast? Who can make war against
him. [Revelation 13:2-4]
As I did apologize to the Rothschilds for any false accusations that might be
hurled their way in labeling them the anti-Christ, I must also apologize to the
Rockefellers if my theory about them is wrong as well, so I will offer the same exact
apology as was given in Chapter 3 to the Rothschilds should I be wrong in my theoretical
interpretations. Once again, this is ANOTHER THEORY which matches the
Rockefellers with the anti-Christ profile. In Truth, you could name George Soros, Bill
Clinton, the President of Italy, the Vatican of Rome, the leader of the PLO, the President
of Russia, or the democratic leader as THE ANTI-CHRIST, but in this theory, we shall
find out if the Rockefellers also fit the ANTI-CHRIST profile. Now if neither the
Rockefellers nor the Rothschilds have the anti-Christ in their midst, then we know for
certain that everything that they built has led to the complete dominion of Satans son
over all their hard work whether it has already happened or will happen soon.
I would like to personally apologize to the Rockefeller Family if my theory is
wrong, way off base, and completely absurd. I could be accusing my brother falsely by
putting the anti-Christ tatoo on the whole family. For all I know, the Rockefeller Family
might actually be good men who wanted to improve the human race by organizing a
system that might work best for humanity. IF I am wrong in my theory and the antiChrist does not dwell among the Rockefellers, then we must consider that even though
the family fits the profile of the Revelation 13 beast, IT IS 100% CERTAIN that their
SYSTEM that they created will be taken over by the anti-Christ. Everything the
Rockefellers created through the financial system will ultimately come under the control
of the beast and the false prophet, so that no one can buy or sell without their name.
It is already a fact that the whole world cannot buy or sell without accepting the
Rothschild and Rockefeller names behind business banking, so its easy to see the men of
power who are in charge of international banking, to be NETWORKED with the body of
the beasts kingdom.
This means that the exchange of buying and selling, THE BANKING SYSTEM
with a NEW IDENTIFICATION PROCESS will be taken over by the anti-Christ if he
hasnt taken it over already. So even if my theory about the Rothschilds is wrong, THEIR
SYSTEM and WHAT THEY CREATED IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM is heading or
has already headed for THE BEAST of Revelation 13. The only way in which the beast
can be stopped is if THE GLOBAL BANKING SYSTEM is brought down.
During the tribulation of the last 7 years of life on earth, that SYSTEM will be
brought down permanently with no chance of rebuilding, recovery, or hope to return to
International Banking as the world shall be set free from slavery to the beast by the
splendor of the rapture of Jesus Christs Second Coming. The signs just before the
rapture of Jesus Christs Second Coming are recorded in Matthew 24 and wrath is coming
upon all who have accepted the mark of the beast and his global financial system.
Although conspiracy theorists could be theoretically wrong about the Rothschilds
being bad, sinister men out for an evil agenda on behalf of Satan, we must consider the
history of what it is they created to determine whether their FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC
DOCTRINE is from the God of the Holy Bible or the god of hell Satan. The financial
system seems to come more from a Satanic doctrine than a New Testament doctrine and
we can only make judgments, not necessarily against the Rothschilds alone, but against
the SYSTEM they created, which has enslaved all mankind and womankind.
PARTY since the 1870sAs Vice-President, then, he would have no more constitutional
say-so than he had as a nominally plain citizen with thousands of devoted chums in key
government posts, STATE and FEDERAL, MANY OF THEM RECIPIENTS OF
ROCKEFELLER PECUNIARY [MEASUREMENTS OF MONEY] AWARDS, LOANS,
& MONETARY GIFTSAs later events showed, President Ford yielded him an
unusually active role for a vice-president, almost enough to qualify as an assistant
president or viceroy. He was first put, in charge of the special commission to investigate
the self-inculpated CIA, which amounted to the executive branch investigating itself. He
was also made vice-chairman of the presidents DOMESTIC COUNCIL and allowed to
organize it with some of his own people in chargeThe Rock unquestionably advises
behind the scenes on many mattersAlthough the final report in June, 1975, of his
Commission on C.I.A. activities adundantly confirmed that for more than 2 decades there
had, as charged, been massive illegal domestic C.I.A. operations against critics and
opponents of entrenched politicians or their policies, the Commission recoiled from
probing into the charge that the agency had staged numerous assassinations abroad. The
report said the Commission found no credible evidence that the C.I.A. was involved in
the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
[PAGE 16] While neither Nelson Rockefeller nor any member of his family ever had
such a general final voice in national policy-making, both he and his family for decades
have made, usually through their top lawyers, an extensive input of advice and
recommendations to a generally receptive officialdom in all departments of the
government from bottom to top, including the White HouseWith respect to almost
every president since Chester A. Arthur, they have had ground-floor entre and have been
respectfully listened toIn other words, not kings themselves, they have long been
among the ducal coutiers, palace advisors, and king-makersFor under no statutes or in
the Constitution is there any barrier to a wealthy person entering the White House as a
suzerain.
[PAGE 18] Most of the wealthy in the United States get their way through stooges in the
government, onetime poor boys who are SUCCEEDING and surreptitiously building
estates, a la Johnson and Nixon, while holding office, panting their way up the shaky
ladder from oblivion to obscurity, selling the favors of the State under the tableAs to
why Rockefeller wants to be president, which it has long been clear he does, the reasons
are not too evident. He certainly does not need the office to add to his wealth, which is
blooming to high heaven anyhow.
[PAGE 20] The oppressively massive and extensively deployed ALBANY MALL is one
clear illustration that Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller is a man of imperial, possibly zany,
ambition, one whose dreams take him far beyond the mere possession of a large fortune.
Nobody else asked for the Mall, which cost $1 to $1.5 billion of public money, and which
was build without legislative or popular approvalnobody seems to have troubled to ask
what the FIVE TOWERING, GRIM ARCHITECTURAL SLABS MEAN, subjectively
or objectively. Governor Rockefeller, acting autonomously for the state, entered into an
agreement with Mayor Erastus Corning of Albany, acting for Albany County...The
County now sold to the banks, insurance companies, and big investors tax-exempt bonds
and reimbursed the state each quarter for the first-instance funds.
to $1.3 billion, a figure approximate to one later submitted by the Rockefeller family
manager.
In the 10 years up to 1974, Nelson Rockefeller received total income of $46.8
millino, of which about $1 million each year came from tax-exempt securities
Combined, the liquid incomes of the family exceed $30 million per year. Deferred
income puts the total above $50 million.
By giving away $10 million of appraised art acquired years earlier for $1 million
cash, one offsets $9 million of cash income, leaving it tax-exempt instead of having to
pay some $7 million tax. The deal therefore nets close to $6 million, less insurance.
What Rockefeller held specifically consisted of diversified stocks in leading
corporations, certificates of deposit and bonds, state and municipal bonds, corporate
bonds, and U.S. Treasury Bills.

these institutions is for assets to increase. For they are always acquiring new subinstitutions, and book values increase through earnings retained in part. Among these
core financial institutions, the directorates are tightly interlockedthat is, directors of
one entity sit on the board of another entity, producing a common policy and one big
happy family for seven giant institutions. Subject to these are scores of major
corporations and lesser banks, all interlocked. In the overarching Rockefeller Syndicate,
Doctor Knowles traced twenty-three ordinary functional interlocks plus five additional
wherein two members of the same family sit on the boards of two different financial
institutions of the group. Knowles now took for comparison four non-Rockefeller banks:
MANUFACTURERS HANOVER
MORGAN GUARANTY TRUST
BANKERS TRUST
CONTINENTAL ILLINOIS NATIONAL BANK OF CHICAGO
Their deposits in 1969 only $40.7 billion compared with $62.1 billion for the four
Rockefeller banksand showed that there were only five director interlocks between
them and the three Rockefeller insurance companies.
The Rockefeller Syndicate also heavily dominated the board of the:
CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY
The second largest utility company, and until 1969 all six of the Rockefeller entities in
New York had directors on its board.
FIRST NATIONAL CITY BANK (CITICORP)
The First National City Bank (Citicorp) is the headquarters of the William Rockefeller
branch of the family. Is the headquarters of the William Rockefeller branch of the family.
At one time John D. Rockefeller held stock in it, but he transferred to
CHASE NATIONAL BANK, now CHASE MANHATTAN (JP MORGAN CHASE)
[PAGES 43 - 46] The Rockefellers alone do not own any of these institutions, or singlehandedly CONTROL them, just as John D. Rockefeller neither owned nor controlled
Standard Oil Company. His interest in it ranged at different times between 25 and 30
percent. His associates together owned more than he didThe associates could have
outvoted John D. any time. The point is: they did not want to. The general staff does not
vote down a field marshal who is winning battles, conquering the world. In the same way
David Rockefeller, as chairman of Chase Manhattan, is the spokesman or head man for
this group, functioning much as John D. did in Standard Oil subject to suggestions and
criticisms from his associates, but having much more pervasive power.
The family interlocks at the top of the Rockefeller network, apart from those purely
functional, are as follows:
with one another. Instead, they have formed alliances with other wealthy families not
only within the same bank but also, in some instances, between banks.

[PAGES 62 68] As Professor Knowles shows, all the directorial elements of the
Rockefeller Syndicate hold or have held reciprocal dominating positions in many
foundations, many of the leading private universities, corporation directorships outside
the leading companies of the group, the federal government up to the cabinet level, in
important newspaper, magazine, and publishing houses (idea dissemination), and
comprise additionally a widespread network of interlocking corporate directorships apart
from the top interlocks of banks and insurance companies. The lists are too long to
reproduce here.34 Rockefeller people, leading directors of their banks, insurance
companies, and corporations, or otherwise connected, held dominant posts in ideadeveloping institutions. Five were presidents of leading private universities. Many more
were university trustees.
Professor James Knowles discusses what he terms the misuse of political power by
agencies, governmental and private, under the control of the group in IRAN, Peru, India,
and Greece and shows that the Rockefeller Syndicate effectively threw its weight with
inside men against eliminating the oil-import quotas under President Nixon, costly to
American consumers.
As long as the corporate world continues to exercise a dominant role in the financing of
elections and in the administration of government, a hierarchical power structure in the
economic sphere will continue to have its political counterpart.
EXAMPLE: The Domhoff-Schwartz presentation revealed that 15 employees of the
Rockefeller family office held directorships in nearly 100 corporationsThese
corporations included many in advanced technology ventures under the eye of Laurance
Rockefeller. The combined assets of these companies came to $70 billionMr. Dilworth
himself was a director in 16 corporations, including the Chase Manhattan Bank,
Rockefeller Center, and the International Basic Economy Corporation.
Is there anything immoral, illegal, or subversive about all this? NOTHING
WHATEVER! ALL THIS IS IN HARMONY WITH THE SYSTEM.
It seems that the Rockefeller Syndicate, with each member of it having a full coalitional
say, controls or influences possibly $500 billion (or more) of income-producing assets, is
an integral part along with other similar syndicates of the United States government and
exercises a pervasive authority over the managements of cultural institutions such as
foundations, museums, libraries, research centers, bird sanctuaries, and private
universities and colleges.
[PAGE 69 - 73] Nelson Rockefeller over a period of seventeen years made personal
loans and gifts to friends, relatives, and political associates of more than $2 million plus
$840,000 state and federal gift taxes. More than 75 percent of it went to political
associates in New York with most of the lions share ultimately converted into gifts
Many of the loan-gifts or straight loans were substantial. The largest amount, $625,000,
went to Dr. William J. Ronan, New York University professor who was, first, Nelsons
executive secretary and, displaying competence, was advanced by stages through
important jobs to become, finally, chairman of heavily funded PORT AUTHORITY OF
NEW YORK and NEW JERSEY. Prior to this appointment by Rockefeller, he was head
of the METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY. He also became the
$100,000-a-year advisor to the Rockefeller familyGift to Rockefeller-sponsored United
States Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, $50,000 in 1969 when he became national
security advisor to President-elect NixonLoan-gift of $101,900 to L. Judson Morhouse,
state Republican chairman who was later convicted in open court of accepting a $100,000
fee from THE PLAYBOY CLUB to bribe and procure for a separate $50,000 a State
Liquor Authority chairman, who in turn was duly and securely bribedA year after
Nelson Rockefeller took office as governor of New York, Laurance Rockefeller made a
loan of $49,000 to Morhouse, a general magnet for dubious money. A pre-appointment
gift of $31,389 and a loan of $145,000 were made to Edward J. Logue, head of
people, some of them brilliant. And it is the people they collect that is one of the major
sources of their pervading power.
[PAGE 116] To his original partners Rockefeller soon added more from among able
competitors whom he bought out with stock at full value and brought into his circle:
HENRY HUDDLESTON ROGERS
JOHN D. ARCHBOLD
OLIVER H. PAYNE
J.N. CAMDEN
CHARLES H. PRATT
JABEZ BOTSWICK
AND OTHERS
The various associates made up what later came to be referred to as THE STANDARD
OIL GANG.
[PAGE 117] When Standard Oil was solidly established, no longer speculative,
Rockefeller could afford to take gambles with investments. One of these side
investments was acquisition for a song of the rich Mesabi Range of iron ore in northern
Minnesota, which he sold with some nearby properties to J.P. Morgans UNITED
STATES STEEL CORPORATION for $80 millionAn additional $8.5 million in cash
was paid for the GREAT LAKES ORE-CARRYING FLEET. The deal left Rockefeller
the largest single stockholder in heavily watered U.S. STEEL[PAGE 118] Standard Oil
was a company legally chartered under Ohio laws at its inception and it did a legal
business.
[PAGES 121 127] Leading railroad people like WILLIAM H. VANDERBILT became
stockholders of Standard Oil without any record of their having contributed capital. So it
may be that the kickbacks took the form of stock rather than money, or of stock and
money. Leading bankers, too, who lent money freely to Standard Oil, also turned up as
Standard stockholders without having contributed any capital to the company. No doubt
the stock gifts led to an easier special loan policy. Simply between the years 1872 and
1879 the portion of total United States refining capacity held by Standard Oil catapulted
from 25 percent to 95 percent, giving it an almost total monopoly before either the name
of the company or of Rockefeller was publicly very well known. Shortly prior to 1872
Standard had less than 10 percent capacityThe way the railroad officials allowed
Standard Oil to operate in time enabled the company to gain a whip hand in the matter of
oil shipments. STANDARD, finally, was able to dictate rates, for itself as well as for
others. It played one road off against the other, varying shipments as leverage.
Standard Oil acquisitions outside of Ohio, in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York,
were illegal under Ohio law, which forbade an Ohio corporation to own out-of-state
companies without special legislative dispensation. This Standard never had. Standard
originally took title to these companies in return for stock but left the original owners in
chargeIn April 1879, the trust was born, secretly. Under it the individual trustees of
companies that had been taken over, the 37 Standard Oil stockholders, and the Standard
Oil Company of Ohio conveyed all stock of out-of-state subsidiaries to three trustees,
who were clerks of Standard Oil, DUMMIES. The untenable theory behind this was
that the subsidiaries now no longer belonged, in defiance of law, to Standard Oil of Ohio
but to the trustees. But trustees never own that for which they act as trustees
What Rockefeller and his associates had done was to establish a secret cartel. And
cartels, secret or open, were and are forbidden in the United States although the United
States is unquestionably heavily cartelized at this very moment. In Europe, however,
much to the disdain of patriotic Americans, cartels exist openly and are legal. But in
wicked Europe, governments have participation in the cartels, often to the direct benefit
of the public treasury. In the United States the public treasury draws no benefits from the
cartels or artificial monopolies. The ones who draw the reciprocal benefits, under the
table, are politicians and political parties. Under the American anti-trust laws,
prosecutions for monopoly, trustification, or cartelization are wholly optional with the
attorney generalthat is, the president, whose absolute creature the attorney general is.
And heavy political contributions are made, by the cartels, precisely to those candidates
and parties that give sub-rosa assurance the anti-trust laws, among others, will be
enforced only delicately. Without such benign assurances, NO HEAVY CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS. Now and then, as economic conditions turn sour, unemployment
increases, and public tempers rise, the politicians need scapegoats to appease the now
restive electorateThe only clear beneficiaries of the process are the defense lawyers,
who draw big fees, and competitive newspapers which get revelatory copywho got
what, when, where, and why
Although it GOUGED ON PRICES, stifled competition, charged all the traffic would
bear as it reduced production costs to a minimum, Standard Oil at least did not issue
watered stock to the ever-gullible investing public, overstate its capitalization, or fob off
inferior products on the consumer. Many other companies did all that. But Standard Oil
did just about everything else and was finally found guilty after protracted legal processes
of general illegality by two high courts. As early as March, 1892, the Supreme Court of
Ohio ordered Standard Oil of Ohio to withdraw from the trust, which was held illegal
The newly formed Bureau of Corporations issued its report on oil transportation and
showered the country with figures to prove that Standard Oil was gouging on prices.
Ida M. Tarbells heavily documented THE HISTORY OF THE STANDARD OIL
COMPANY (1905), is a classic of American expose literature, a really creamy job.they
directed attention to the business practice of others, which were far from wholesome.
And by reason of this zeal to exculpate Rockefeller, more knowledge and insight has
been gained of the entire American social system, of the system of law and indeed, of the
constitutional systemWith all this material now out in the open and being publicly
discussed, there was little the government could do, but bring suit under the feeble
Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890. Suit was filed November 15, 1906, by, ironically,
Attorney General Charles Joseph Bonaparte, grandson of Jerome, brother of the
Bonaparte.
[PAGE 128] What the court mainly objected to was that the Standard Oil Trust had the
intent from the beginning to establish a monopoly and to drive others from the field and
exclude them from their right to trade. Now it was to become the American cartel idea
that if one allowed some competitors to survive, cartelization was OK. Token
competition was to be the rule.
The combine was broken down into 38 separate companies, the shares of the subsidiaries
distributed to stockholders pro rata. The various companies were to have separate boards
of directors and separate officers. Rockefeller resigned as president of Standard Oil of
New Jersey, was succeeded by Archbold, his alter ego. William Rockefeller resigned as
vice-president and his son, William G. Rockefeller, as assistant treasurer. H.H. Rogers
had died. Flagler, now deep in developing the Florida East Coast on his own, gave up his
directorship. All the original Standard Oil gang was out, although they retained their
huge stockholdings, a nice, nice point.
[PAGE 131] From 1891 to 1899 earnings increased from $27,367,000 to $64,457,000
annually. In 1907 they were $131,291,000 and in 1908 they were $116,460,000. For the
automobile was just coming to the fore. Of these earnings Rockefellers portion was
always between 25 and 30 percent and of him and his management group nearly 60
percent. IN ALL THIS TIME THE VAST MAJORITY OF PERSONS IN THE UNITED
STATES LABOR FORCE WAS PAID LESS THAN $1,000 PER YEAR IN WAGES
AND SALARIES. As of 1914 a corporation bookkeeper in Chicago was paid $17 per
week with no vacations, no pension, no sick leave, no severance pay.
[PAGE 132] As Jules Abels points out, dividends of nearly $40 million per year in the
early 1900s compared with a wage bill of $65,000,000 or about $1,000 for each
employee. In 1963 STANDARD OIL OF NEW JERSEY paid wages and salaries,
including officers salaries, of $1,011,278,000 compared with dividends of $592.5
million. Wages and salaries the same year at GENERAL MOTORS were approximately
four times the dividends and at UNITED STATES STEEL wages and salaries were ten
times the dividendsIn the 10 years leading up to 1911 the TOTAL EARNINGS OF
THE COMBINE EXCEEDED $1 BILLION.
[PAGE 134] And when such ownership became known, it secretly established or bought
INDEPENDENT companies in order to deceive the growing number of persons who
did not wish to do business with Standard Oil. With its secretly controlled
independents, it waged phony price wars, driving true independents to the wall. Then it
raised prices. And when someone would nevertheless refuse to do business either with
Standard or one of its satellites, the buyer would be threatened with commercial
extinction. There was a wide range of petroleum products, but kerosene was the major
one until gasoline took over with the rise of the automobile, motorboat, and airplane.
[PAGE 136 139] For Standard Oil to operate as it did, and get its way, it needed
political help, in legislatures and executive chambers. And it got this help by paying
money, as alwaysThe political payoff men for Standard Oil were, first, J.N. Camden
and then John D. Archbold. The public got a close look at how this operation worked
because two minor office employees of Standard Oil in 1904 and 1905 took sheaves of
letters from the files in Archbolds office to the offices of William Randolph Hearsts
New York American newspaper where they were photographed, bought, and paid for.
Hearst did not make them public until the 1908 presidential campaignWhat the letters
showed was leading elements of the United States House of Representatives and the
Senate receiving steady large payments from Archbold in return for general and specific
support of measures and obstructions beneficial to Standard Oil. One of these recipients
of large sums was Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, who at the time was widely
regarded as a possible future Republican president. Among other recipients of large subrosa funds were Senators Mark Hanna of Ohio, Matthew Quay and Bois Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Joseph Bailey of Texas (Democrat); Congressman Joseph Sibley of
Pennsylvania, a Democratmany of these did not have to be sought out but appealed to
Standard Oil for funds. President McKinley, through his mentor Mark Hanna, was
always deep in the pocket of Standard Oil and the other trusts, a willing puppet. Various
critics of Standard Oil charge that the company was a corrupting influence, that it
corrupted people who would otherwise have been virginal. One thing is certain:
Standard Oil never corrupted anybody. The people it dealt with in this way were already
long since corrupted, were self-dedicated to corruption, former poor boys democratically
on the make. It was corruption, in fact, that made politics attractive to them, an
opportunity to build estates while preening before a gullible public.And this is true,
too, of newspapers that were corrupted by Standard Oil.
As Abels remarks, let it be noted that the records of Standard Oil show that there was a
flood of requests from publications of all kinds, newspapers, and newspapermen, to be
corrupted with Standard Oil funds. And the Archbold files as made public show that it
was the same with politicians. MANY WERE BEGGING FOR MONEYAll these
seeming separate episodes, and others, simply amount to accidental disclosures of
something that is going on all the time, a continuous performanceHardly anybody in
business or politics is ever corrupted by someone else. The corruptee is invariably more
than willing to be corrupted by the corrupter.
[PAGE 141] The good guys loose in the long run, just the reverse of a Hollywood
movie. Or, rather, it turns out on the historical script as written by the corporationsubsidized historians that the good guys, the critics, are really the bad guys
muckrackers, scavengers, defamers. The critics are stigmatized as hysterical
demagogues, or worse. The sound men, the true patriots, aresurprise, surprise!the
corporate operators, Rockefeller and his associates and their imitators in the corporate
world. And Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon et al. Much is heard in the United States,
contantly, about due process of law. Everybody is for it. Due process means that
decisions, whatever they are, are made according to prescribed laws by duly prescribed
governmental agencies. Yet, strangely, most decisions in the United States that affect the
public interest are not made according to due process at all. They are, rather, made by
the boards of corporations whose self-serving decisions constantly affect the whole
texture of life, often adversely. Due process covers a relatively small area, and is
usually very late in getting into the areas affected by unilateral, self-serving corporate
decisions.

And so on, through literally thousands of cases.
The United States has always been a corrupt society, Gore Vidal writes. Periodically,
good citizens band together and elect to office political opportunists who are presented
to the public as non-polticians [like Arnold Swartzneggar]. Briefly, things appear to be
clean. But of course bribes are still given; taken. Nothing ever changes nor is there ever
going to be any change until we summon up the courage to ask ourselves a simple, if
potentially dangerous question: is the man who gives a bribe as guilty as the man who
takes a bribe?
Standard Oil not only ladled out money to politicians, in and out of office, and to
newspapers, and quickly hired for itself any especially bright young lawyers it found
acting for its competitors or hostile government agencies, but it had vast success in
enlisting the aid of certified academicians. And here, in my opinion, was the worst
subversion of allthe trammeling of the very citadel of truthHere, the word is not
BRIBES, it is GRANTS.
[PAGE 149] Until he began endowing the University of Chicago in the 1890sthis on
the advice of a newly found brilliant advisor, Frederick T. GatesRockefellers gifts had
been quite helter skelter. He gave mainly to THE BAPTIST CHURCH and to BAPTIST
FOREIGN MISSIONS but also, now and then, to some other churches. Rockefeller, too,
gave money directly to individuals. Early in his life at the EUCLID AVENUE BAPTIST
CHURCH he would unostentatiously press money into the palms of various parishioners
he deemed needy and worthy. He would not, however, give money to organizations that
served holiday dinners to down-and-outers, about the only charity he ever turned his back
onThe high quality of the enterprises for which Rockefeller money thereafter went
(apart from MONEY THAT WENT TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES which to date amounts on the record to a visible $100
million and may run to $250 million), is attributable entirely to Gates, who became a
Rockefeller window on the world as were Flagler, Rogers, and Archbold.
[PAGE 150] And Gates it was who literally badgered Rockefeller into increasing the size
of gifts on the ground that he was accumulating so much money it would destroy his
family. All in all Rockefeller dispensed on the non-political circuit a clearly visible
$486,719,371.22and the 22 cents is important as showing how meticulously the record
was kept. On top of this, the son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., in turn gave $473 million
Between the two more than $1 billion was given. Nothing like this had been seen before,
anywhere. Nor has it been done since
The massive FORD FOUNDATION was established in lieu of paying a 90 percent
inheritance tax, at the same time helping retain control of FORD MOTOR for the Ford
family. Had it not been established, the money would have been vacuumed up in taxes,
and no doubt then squandered by the Pentagon.
The main gifts by Rockefeller were as follows:
ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD
Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Fund
Rockfeller Institute For Medical Research
(Now Rockefeller University, a purely highquality graduate school)
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
$182,851,480.90
$129,209,167.10
$ 73,985,313.77
$ 60,673,409.15
$ 40,000,000.00
[PAGE 151] Many people before Rockefeller gave for centuries to favorite churches,
hospitals, asylums, colleges, monasteries, and the like. But nearly always they gave to
something specific for which they had a sentimental personal attachment. Giving for the
sake of giving was seldom seen, and certainly not on a large scale.
[PAGE 152] For many years critics contended that Rockefellers church-going was a
hypocritical blind, a cover for nefarious operationsSunday observance was a routine, a
ritualRockefeller golfed in all weathers, rain or shine, every day, metronomicallya
tidal wave of history was against him, the history of government and lawRockefeller
has always found complete shelter for his conscience in legal and business fictions which
he has set up to cover the real character of his acts.He did it because he did not believe
he could do anything wrong or that anyone could validly evaluate anything he had done
wrong legally, morally, or esthetically.Whatever I do is right, was his basic position
throughout.
[PAGE 202] If one believes a popular song, Youre nobody till somebody loves you,
but in the Rockefeller stratosphere youre nobody unless you are integrally connected
with one of the very big money-market banks. Such umbilical connection is the very sine
qua non and ne plus ultra, the without which nothing and nor more beyondthe top of
the top, the summit of the summit. The Rockefellers, both branches, are so connected, as
we have seenfirst to CHASE MANHATTAN BANK and FIRST NATIONAL CITY
BANK and also to CHEMICAL BANK OF NEW YORK and FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF CHICAGO. They are, in their latter-day manifestation, big bank
freaks.The current head of the Pocantico branch as well as of the more extensive
Rockefeller Syndicate is David, the youngest of Juniors children. He is chairman of the
ultra-powerful CHASE BANK, as close to God as anyone can get, certainly as close as
the pope or the archbishop of Canterbury, and has several times been offered by three
presidents the post of secretary of the treasury.New members for the staffs are
carefully selected, and staff changes year to year are few.
[PAGE 207] As a result of their funding operations, the Rockefellers possess thousands
of staunch friends concentrated in the upper functional and strategic levels of societyin
science, scholarship, religion, education, politics, technology, journalism, law, trades
unions, social and civil services, business, etc. These funding operations are generally
called philanthropies
[PAGE 209] Naturally, Nelson Rockefeller is foursquare in favor of home, motherhood,
the family, religion, prosperity, a dandy job for everyone (someday), equality all around,
no discrimination against anyone by reason of race, religion, sex, age, or present
condition of ineptitude, a fair days work for a fair days pay, peace, health, education,
welfarethe usual soothing pap dear to political rallies.
[PAGE 210 211] Rightist Republicans like Senator Barry Goldwater and Senator Jesse
A. Helms of North Carolina conspicuously voted against Nelsons confirmation whereas
most liberals in both houses of Congress voted for him, many of these no doubt in
anticipation of a final reckoning the other way in the election of 1976. Had there been
Communists, Socialists, or Syndicalists present they would have no doubt voted against
him. But the Rockefellers have friends in these quarters, tooNelson, four times elected
governor of New York, resigning after 15 years, and now vice-president, on the threshold
of the presidency, is obviously the big political ace of the familyMany in benighted
Arkansas considered him an ultra-leftist, but then anyone endorsing Lincolns
Emancipation Proclamation is apt to be so considered in that region.
[PAGE 221] The Eisenhower campaign, like all Republican campaigns, was heavily
funded by the Rockefellers.
[PAGES 248 250] Rockefellers tenure is divided by chroniclers into the first ten as
liberal and the last five as conservative or reactionary. It was in the first ten years that the
most spending was done What Rockefeller did under the rubric of liberalism was as

Led the way to the erection of 29 additional state office buildings from eastern
Long Island to Buffalo, with similar widespread beneficent job and contract
fallout and much applause from local communities.
Brought into being 200 water-treatment plants, thereby exciting the adulation
of the antipollution element.
Brought into being via bond issues 30,000 URBAN DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION residential units, 60,000 units of the HOUSING FINANCE
AGENCY, and three new model communities funded by UDC.
Pushed through 23 new state mental health facilities and had constructed or
expanded 109 voluntary and municipal hospitals and nursing homes.
Pressed to completion THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY, long
unfinished. He himself estimated that he had added four and one half miles
per day of automobile roads, as the state groaned over mass transit shortages.
Increased state aid to local schools and private universities and colleges, and
repeatedly led banzai charges to siphon public funds to the Catholic parochial
school system.
Brought into being 235,000 scholarship awards of $100 to $600 a year for
public and private college students and set up 75,000 Regents scholarships for
in-state students ranging up to $1,000 per annum.
Formed the METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY to take
over the mismanaged New York City subway system, the LONG ISLAND
RAILROAD, and the commutation passenger services of the internally looted
New York Central and long mis-managed New Haven Railroads.
Called into being, to deal with the illegal drug problem, a $1-billion narcoticsaddiction medical program. Thousands of people were freaking out in the
American paradise.
Created 50 new state parks and established the Adirondacks Park Agency to
supervise and preserve a vast upstate area.
Established the State Council on the Arts by which $15 million a year is
siphoned to localities for soul-stimulating cultural events.
Inaugurated state revenue-sharing with local communities so that about 59
percent of the state budget goes to localities.
Placed two dozen Republican county chairman in lucrative posts on the state
payroll.
Appointed a Republican state chairman to be presiding judge of the sinceure
State Court of Claims.
Freely appointed Democrats who assisted in his various maneuvers.
[PAGE 253] Approval comes about not because the lowbrows are more than normally
bloodthirsty, but because they feel frustrated by being caught in a constitutional system
that was established quite consciously in order to frustrate various elements, especially
the general populace.
[PAGE 259] Rockefeller also sought, according to reports, to develop within New York
State the counterparts of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of
Technology and got at least the nucleus of such an affair established at Stony Brook,
Long Island. The idea behind such triplication of facilities is that it would attract more
savants to New York & raise the local tone.
[PAGE 262] Early in 1975 the URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION defaulted
on more than $100 million of construction notes due to banks. Some 8,000 workers
faced layoffs from many large projects until the state and the banks worked out a new
corporation to be backed by tax funds.
[PAGE 264] Some keen political observers in New York State think it very strange that
the Democrats always opposed Rockefeller, three times, with weak contenders, people
with no statewide image. Such observers suspect that the Rockefellers, through friends in
the Democratic party, arranged it that way, didnt want Rocky to face a real heavyweight.
[PAGE 319] As John T. Flynn opened his biography, For forty yearsfrom 1872 to
1914the name of John D. Rockefeller was the most execrated name in American life.
It was associated with greed, rapacity, cruelty, hypocrisy, and corruption. Upon it was
showered such odium as has stained the name of no other American. Theodore Roosevelt
denounced Rockefeller as a lawbreaker. William J. Bryan, his fellow Christian, went up
and down the land demanding that he be put in jail. The attorney-generals of half a dozen
states clamored for his imprisonment. La Follette called him the greatest criminal of the
age. Tolstoi said no honest man should work for him. Ministers of the gospel called the
money he showered upon churches and colleges tainted. For years no man spoke a good
word for John D. Rockefeller, save the sycophant and the time-server.
[PAGES 320 322] As H.L. Mencken noted in 1926, The whole history of the country
[the United States] has been a history of melodramatic pursuits of horrendous monsters,
some of them imaginary: the red-coats, the Hessians, the monocrats, again the red-coats,
the BANK, the Catholics, Simon Legree, the Slave Power, Jeff Davis, Mormonism, Wall
Street, the rum demon, John Bull, the hell hounds of plutocracy, the trusts, General
Weyler, Pancho Villa, German spies, hyphenates, the Kaiser, BolshevismThere was
also anarchism, the IWW, socialism, neo-communism on top of Bolshevism, free love,
immigration of undesirable aliens, carpetbaggers, the Spanish fleet hovering over the
horizon of New York, Emma Goldman, invaders from Mars, Soviet submarines and spy

Japanese menace, the Chinese menace, the Yellow menace, the Black Panthers, atheism,
Soviet warships in the Eastern Mediterranean, Soviet warships in the Indian Ocean,
Soviet warships anywhere, freethinkers, the Viet Cong, white slavery, godlessness, Soviet
spies in the State Department, birth control, pornography, un-Americanism, rampaging
students with long hair, uppity blacks, and on and on and on. And Rockefeller. What
damped down hatred of Rockefeller in combination with self-exhaustion was the
appearance on the scene of a brand-new made-in-Wall-Street hate object: The Kaiser and
German militarism. These new twin menaces monopolized the stage from 1914 to 1918.
But in swift succession there followed Lenin, Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler, Tojo, Trotsky,
John L. Lewis, and many, many others. Rockefeller was now all but forgotten, golfing
away ritualistically on his various private links until his death in 1937 at ninety-eight
Is Congress corrupt? Any correction to take effect requires full-scale revolution, nothing
less, carnage over a wide area, scorched earth from Maine to Yuma, Arizona. A simple
eradication of some specific evil is not the way to go about it because, as it turns out for
seemingly mysterious reasons, one cant eradicate evils. They merely hang on and
accumulate like barnacles. Rockefeller was unlucky enough to fall afoul of this
American proclivity for hatred and fear and felt its full force. Naturally, he and his
Standard Oil associates should have been brought to heel early in the game by the law
enforcement agencies. But as this was the United States, moves against him, of which
were many, were easily blocked by lawyers, sabotaged, or the agencies bought
off...Officials who tried to proceed against Standard Oil were simply driven out of
politicsUp to 1928 there were 18 major investigations and trials concerning John D.
Rockefeller and Standard Oil, enough for years and years of full-time reading.
[PAGE 325] Standard Oil, and the railroads represented something new: the spread of
industry to national dimensions. Until the 1870s and 1880s, business had been largely
localized. Production and distribution took place within largely self-sufficient regional
areas, and each region had little traffic with other regions. The railroads gradually
changed that, made it possible for business enterprises to transcend regional boundaries.
But newspapers, until later, were tied in with local regional enterprises, looked upon
larger enterprises as invading foreigners who undercut the local businessesthe first
criticisms of Rockefeller, it is well to note, came from the old-style business
communityAs to muckracking, anybody who realistically attempts to write about the
American politico-economic scene is going to find that he is a muckracker.
THE ROCKEFELLER BAPTIST CHURCHES
[PAGES 326 335] As Rockefeller found himself in trouble through the 1880s, he began
developing the philanthropic counterpoint that in the course of time began running
through the scenario like the dominant theme in a Bach fugue. It was simply a
diplomatic tactic that, however, fit in perfectly with his personal syndrome. He had been
made a vice-president of THE THEOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY IN CHICAGO in 1882,
which focused his attention on the city as a leading Baptist layman. Various Baptists
wanted to found a university, the only question being where it was to be located. In
Chicago there already existed far on the south side THE MORGAN PARK
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, BAPTIST, founded in 1867, which was associated with
the nearby UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, a jerkwater undergraduate school founded in
1856 by Stephen A. Douglas and others. An insurance company foreclosed on its
buildings in 1886. In 1888 there was founded THE AMERICAN BAPTIST
EDUCATION SOCIETY with the Reverend Frederick T. Gates of Minneopolis placed at
its head. Gates was thus brought to Rockefellers attention and soon became his
philanthropic guide, later his investment manager. Gates became in this way the latest of
the brilliant aides taken up by Rockefeller, who by means of careful testing uncovered
competence in others.
After much discussion and argument among the Baptists, it was finally decided to place
the new university in booming Chicago. Rockefeller put up an initial $600,000 with the
stipulation that $400,000 be raised by his fellow sectarians. Ten acres of land worth
$125,000 just north of Midway Plaisance, a parkway, near the site of the coming Worlds
Columbian Exposition, were thrown in by Marshall Field. Rockefeller later acquired
additional land. The Midway connects two giant public parks. The university was
therefore sited where it now exists: on a long rectangular strip twelve blocks long and,
irregularly, two very long blocks wide
Rockefeller quickly made additional gifts of $1 million each and by December, 1902, had
put up $10 million, most of it in Standard Oil securities and most of it for endowment.
Other local people also put in heavy lesser sums, especially Martin Ryerson, the steel
magnate. All in all through the years, Rockefeller was to pony up $40 million or more
for the universityFor centuries, wealthy people in Europe and the United States had
given sums of large and small for the creation of universities, colleges, asylums,
monasteries, and churches. Doing so was a mark of great respectability, always gained
kudos.
In 1876 John Hopkins donated $3.5 million to establish JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
in Baltimore, which moved quickly into the first rank of such institutions and was soon
mentioned in the same breath with long-established HARVARD. Leland Stanford in
1885 announced the founding of STANFORD UNIVERSITY in California; it opened
doors in 1891. Jonas G. Clark in 1887 founded CLARK UNIVERSITY, which opened
two years later as a graduate university. CORNELL UNIVERSITY, founded in 1865 as a
land-grant college, was named after Ezra Cornell because he put up $500,000 for
buildings. COLGATE UNIVERSITY, in existence since 1819 as a BAPTIST institution
under another name, was renamed in 1890 after James Boorman Colgate, a Wall Street
broker, who gave it $1 million. PRATT INSTITUTE had been founded in Brooklyn in
1885 with a gift of nearly $4 million from Charles Pratt, a Standard Oil associate. And so
on.
The university quickly became as good as any in the world, strictly independent
Rockefeller, through Gates left his impress on the institutionwithout consulting
Rockefeller the College administration hastened into an alliance with RUSH MEDICAL
COLLEGE. Gates had by then already convinced Rockefeller that he ought to back a
medical research institute on the European model, and Rockefeller planned to give it to
the University of ChicagoThe new UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO opened its doors in
1892, the institute was launched on a small initial scale in 1901 with an initial pledge of
$200,000. THE GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD, incorporated under a special act of
Congress, began in 1903. The Rockefeller Foundation, proposed to Congress in 1909 but
rejected, was established by act of the New York legislature in 1913 and in 1918 came the
LAURA SPELMAN ROCKEFELLER MEMORIALIt is often said that Rockefeller
Senior donated $500 million in his lifetime, his son an equal amount. The third
generation is credited with donating about $250 million, making initial donations around
$1.25 billion. This figure does not include income from the endowments, which about
quadruple the totalabout $5 billion.
Until he began putting up the money for the University of Chicago, MOST OF
ROCKEFELLERS GIFTS HAD BEEN TO THE BAPTIST CHURCH or BAPTIST
causes, much of it to BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSIONS, some of it was made to
individuals he met under church auspices

he and Standard Oil and his associates were putting money into:

4.
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS
NEWSPAPERS
LAWYERS representing the company
SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS where it was thought they would do the most
good, especially to politicians.
In other words, there was a general distribution of money going on all around
Rockefellers giving always had purpose, SELF-ORIENTED PURPOSE.but even
though he never made any avowal of self-serving intent, the idea of disbursing money
philanthropically with the intent to do himself some good in the midst of public outcry
against him was not overlooked by some of his money-mesmerized Baptist advisors.
Thus Dr. Augustus Strong, head of the ROCHESTER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY,
who was pushing for the establishment in New York City of what became the University
of Chicago, said to Rockefeller in a letter in 1887 that:
Very many people do not understand you and they very unjustly accuse you [which the
U.S. Supreme Court, better versed in mundane law than the theologian, found in 1911
was not so]. Your friends love and admire you, but very many are not your friends. Your
present gifts, to education and to the churches, do not stem the tide of aspersion as would
the establishment of an institution for the public good, so great that it has manifestly cost
a large self-sacrifice to build itYou have the opportunity of turning the unfavorable
judgments of the world at large into favorable judgmentsand not only thatof going
down to history as one of THE WORLDS GREATEST BENEFACTORS.
By setting up highly approved philanthropic institutions, Rockefeller created hostages
for the consideration of any future judges. The institutions he established were endowed
with Standard Oil stock. If Standard Oil went down or was hit too hard, these institutions
would also sufferthe University of Chicago, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research, the General Education Board, the Rockefeller Foundation. To strike them
would be like striking the Holy Ghost. Any judge would be reluctant to do soPrivate
universities and foundations are erected in the pattern of insurance companies. They
perform a valid function and are backed by an income-producing investment fund. The
fund, however, does not produce all the revenues for a university any more than for an
insurance company. All the private universities charge tuition fees and the University of
Chicago from its inception charged tuition fees. There was no charity whatever involved
vis--vis the student body, contrary to the belief of the uninformed. Similarly an
insurance company sells its policies, hoping to make a profit or at least break evenA
private university, therefore, is selling something, like an insurance company and unlike a
foundation: the latter relies wholly upon its investment income apart from any new
donations. While Chicago was a good place in which to establish a university, the
institution was not a gift to the public in the sense of providing free tuition except in the
grant of scholarships to stellar students, a small minority. The city of Chicago, in fact, for
many years lacked non-tuition higher education. It was not until 1914 that the city
established its first junior college; it now has a system of these offering two years of
tuition-free college instruction. The tuition-free state university was located some 160
miles to the south, in Champaign-Urbana, where it was costly for most Chicago-area
students to live because they could not reside at home and the downstate region offered
few part-time jobs to youngsters of the lower classesIt was not until after World War II
that the University of Illinois established a large branch in the densely populated Chicago
area, offering competition to fee-charging University of Chicago and Northwestern
University, a tuition-charging institution under Methodist auspices on the northern border
of Chicago
At the point of meeting the ultimate consumer, something not generally understood,
NONE OF THE ROCKEFELLER PHILANTRHOPIESschools, colleges, universities,
museumsIS FREE. The Rockefellers subscribe to Professor Milton Friedmans
dictum: THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH. And on this point, anyhow, they are correct;
THE PUBLIC PAYS FOR EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, directly or indirectly,
visibly or invisibly. There is, truth to tell, no FREE anything, anywhere, at any time
except possibly for children; and they pay the price by having to tolerate their parents,
who are rarely what the children would have ordered had they been able to make rational
choices.
[PAGE 336] According to THE FOUNDATION DIRECTORY (Columbia University
Press, 1971, pp. vii-viii), before 1900 there were only 18 foundations, and only one of
these amounted to more than $10 million while fourteen were worth from $1 to more
than $10 million each. In the period 1910 1919 there were seventy-five foundations,
twenty-two of which had assets of $10 million or more and thirty-six of $1 to $10
million. Today, however, there are more than 26,000 foundations, 90 percent of which
were established since 1940, clearly a reflex of crazy tax laws. Only 5,454 of these have
assets of $500,000 or more; and only 2,179 foundations had assets of more than $1
million. The largest of all, as we have noted, was the FORD FOUNDATION with assets
of $2.902 billion, originally set up to avoid inheritance taxes and keep control of the Ford
Motor Company in the hands of the Ford family. Next came the Lilly Endowment with
assets of $778 million and then the Rockefeller Foundation with $757 million.
[PAGES 348 - 351] The heads of money-short colleges and universities, for example, are
not going to stand up in public and recommend that people read the heady works of
Ralph Nader or Ida Tarbellor THE SCREWING OF THE AVERAGE MAN by David
Hapgood. If they feel the need to recommend reading matter, they are far more likely to
recommend the works of HENRY KISSINGER, Adoph A. Berle, Jr., Allan Nevins, or
Lewis Carroll. And seekers after study-grants dont sign manifestos protesting against
cost overruns by the Pentagon, the inequities of the tax system, the wobbling
transportation system, massive controlled crime, or anything like that. Nor do any of the
potential recipients call attention to the star-spangled political mafia of thuggish elements

____________________
As anyone who has graduated from or worked for one knows, colleges and universities
are in constant need of money, and fund-raising for these institutions has become a
growing industry in and of itself, as the creative titles for fund-raising positions
advertised in the Chronicle of Philanthropy attest. College and university administrators
have always been scrambling for money, and the papers, pledge books, and office files of
1884, your charities are to[o] publicly known to escape my ears.4 As Allan Nevins,
Rockefellers chief biographer, has noted, it was inevitable that under church guidance
his benefactions should extend more and more heavily into the college field.5
The guidance of the church in this is especially important, for until the early 1880s, the
proportion of Rockefellers contributions that went to educational institutions was small.
His personal ledgers indicate that his first donation to a college was a $5.00 gift to a
college at Gambier on February 2, 1864.6 Four years later he took out a $500
subscription to Denison 3 University, a Baptist school in Granville, Ohio that had been
established in 1832. This was his first sizeable gift to a Baptist college. Denison received
two $1,000 gifts from Rockefeller in 1878, but by then he was also contributing to other
Baptist colleges that made appeals to him, giving $500 to both the university at Chicago
and to Shurtleff College in Alton, Illinois.
Still, Denison received $10,000 gifts in both 1881 and 1882, remaining his most favored
Baptist school. Unfortunately, however, none of Rockefellers surviving correspondence
reveals why he gave so early and so largely to Denison.7
By the early 1880s Rockefeller was deluged by all manner of requests for financial
assistance, and gifts to education began to appear more frequently in his ledgers.8 Baptist
educational missionaries often visited Clevelands Baptist churches during their fundraising tours, and here Rockefeller first heard A.C. Bacone, who sought support for a
school for Native American Indians, and Sophia Packard and Harriet Giles, the founders
of the Atlanta Female Seminary, dedicated to the education of black women. Both of
these became early recipients of Rockefeller gifts, Bacone in 1881 and Packard and Giles
in 1882.9
That many of Rockefellers educational contributions in the early 1880s went to schools
for Indians and black women had as much to do with the missionary concerns of the
Baptist church as with the traveling plans of a few missionary educators. Rockefeller was
beginning to work more closely with the Reverend Henry L. Morehouse (1834-1917), the
new corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society (ABHMS).
The Mission Society, which had been supporting Baptist missions and promoting Baptist
education since 1832, had three departments: one to establish churches and Sunday
schools; another to aid in the erection of church edifices; and a third to provide
normal and theological schools for the Freedmen and Indians.10 Rockefeller provided
support for the Society as early as June 4, 1879, the same year that Morehouse took over
as the organizations corresponding secretary.11
Henry Lyman Morehouse, a graduate of the University of Rochester (1858) and the
Rochester Theological Seminary (1864), entered the ministry in 1864, serving as a pastor
in East Saginaw, Michigan (1864-1873) and at the East Avenue Baptist Church in
Rochester (1873-1879) before taking his post at the Home Mission Society. He was,
according to a colleague, a man of unusual foresight, executive ability, fearlessness,
pertinacity, religious zeal, and public spirit. . . . In the development of denominational
policies and in bringing them to 4 effectiveness he had no equal.12 It was Morehouse
who eventually took the lead in forming the American Baptist Education Society, and
who succeeded in interesting Rockefeller in major support for both Bacone College, the
work of Packard and Giles, and in black education in general.
Morehouse and Rockefeller first corresponded in the spring of 1881 regarding a proposal
to change the Societys Church Edifice Fund from a loan program to an endowed fund
that would make grants to aid feeble churches in procuring suitable houses of worship.
Rockefeller, one of the original contributors to the fund, consented to the change.13 By the
summer of 1882, Morehouse was seeking a meeting with Rockefeller to discuss general
denominational needs, but was unsuccessful. By mid-August of 1882, however,
Rockefeller was beginning to realize that he could bring his denominational giving
together through the Home Mission Society, and he wrote to Bacone asking about the
Societys attitude toward, and plans for helping, his Indian college.
Morehouse replied to Rockefellers query and continued to request an interview, as well
as asking Rockefeller to meet with other needy aid applicants.14 On Christmas Eve in
1883, Rockefeller sent Morehouse the kind of letter that Morehouse had been hoping to
receive. It marked the beginning of a change in the wealthy Baptists procedure for
making his charitable donations and started him on the road toward corporate
philanthropy rather than individual charity.
Rockefeller was growing weary of the constant appeals that came to him, and before him
sat a letter regarding the Scandinavian Church in Bridgeport. He decided to send it to
Morehouse, whose organization was charged with building churches. But in his letter to
Morehouse Rockefeller sought relief from these appeals as much as he sought advice. He
told Morehouse that he wanted to avoid having all these people from every part of the
country calling on [him] and [was] considering whether it is not much better for the
cause for him to give all through the Home Mission Society. He then had a question
for Morehouse: If I were to pay into the Edifice Fund of the Home Mission Society five
or ten hundred dollars would it seem to you best to give an additional sum to this or have
you other more important calls?15
For Morehouse this was an open invitation. He had been pressing Rockefeller for an
interview, and now he had an invitation not only to call upon him for large contributions
to the Mission Society for church building, but also an invitation to approach the
wealthiest Baptist 5 with his other, more important calls. To Morehouse, this meant the
education of African Americans and Native American Indians. Morehouse quickly
arranged his first meeting with Rockefeller for January 5, 1884 at the Buckingham Hotel;
five days later Morehouse received a $5,000.00 check for the Edifice Fund, as agreed.
Morehouse wasted no time in arranging another meeting for January 28, 1884.
This meeting resulted in two significant pledges from Rockefeller. In reply to a desperate
plea from Sophia Packard of the Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary, Rockefeller made a
confidential agreement with Morehouse to give the balance required to pay off the
debt of the Atlanta Seminary, some $4950.00, in addition to [his] former
pledge of $2,500.
As secretary of the new organization, Frederick Gates knew firsthand the problems that
the promoters of Baptist education faced in the West. After his graduation from the
University of Rochester (1877) and the Rochester Theological Seminary (1880), Gates
spent eight years as pastor of a church in Minneapolis, and he had most recently
completed a successful drive to raise $50,000 for the endowment of a feeble academy
in Owatonna, Minnesota, surpassing the goal by nearly $10,000. Despite his sympathy
and support for the idea of a national organization to raise funds for Baptist education,
Gates still voted against the plan in May 1888, believing the timing inappropriate, given
the sharp divisions within the denominations leadership.
But with a foot in each of the bitterly divided camps, Gates became a logical choice to
mediate the differences and bring about a reconciliation, and Morehouse nominated him
as the only candidate for executive secretary.22 Gates soon had an opportunity to show
exactly how educationally deprived the Baptists in the West were. A major reason for
the geographically based division among Baptist leaders 7 over the establishment of the
Society was the on-going debate about whether to build a great Baptist university and
where to locate it. The chief rivals were Augustus Strong of the Rochester
Theological Seminary, who favored New York City as the site of the university, and
Thomas W. Goodspeed of the Morgan Park Theological Seminary, who favored Chicago.
In thinking about how best to promote Baptist education in the West, Gates decided that a
major Baptist university located in Chicago would be the best stimulus to education. In
October 1888 he prepared a report that argued for locating the university in Chicago; his
report is generally credited by historians of the movement with persuading other leaders
of the denomination, including John D. Rockefeller, in this direction.23
Resembling the social surveys that would become major tools of Progressive social
reformers after the turn of the century, Gatess report used statistics to compare Baptist
educational efforts in the West with those of other denominations, and it offers
valuable insight into how Baptist leaders judged their own work.
Gates offered a demographic portrait of Baptists in the West that illustrated the
denominations relatively poor educational work there. He defined the West as that part of
the country north of the Ohio River, west of state of Ohio, and east of the Rockies, an
area that held 373,000 Baptists. The region contained eleven Baptist schools offering at
least some collegiate courses. Total enrollment at these schools was 1,257 students, only
about a fourth of whom were taking college courses. These schools owned property
valued at $881,670.
By comparison, the 145,000 Congregationalists in the West operated fewer colleges
(eight) worth more money ($1,743,000) and enrolling more students (1,639). The
Presbyterians, with only 119,000 members in the West, had as many schools as the
Baptists (eleven), but these were worth far more ($2,437,000) and enrolled 1,874 pupils.
The Methodists had twenty-one schools, worth $5.3 million, and enrolling 5,652 students.
Gates calculated that on a per member basis, the Congregationalists owned five times
more educational property than the Baptists and enrolled four times as many students; the
Presbyterians had nine times as much educational property and four times as many
pupils; and the Methodists more than six times the educational property and
five times the students.24
Gates then turned from his denominational comparison to actual conditions in the eleven
Baptist schools. Each was located poorly, so that the area of their attractive influence in
their respective states was small. Only about a fifth of the western Baptists lived within
the 8 effective attraction of our western colleges. None of these small-town schools was
significant enough to attract students from far away. The result was that many of the
ablest and most promising
Baptist youths were going to the schools of other denominations or, even worse, to
state-supported schools, which Gates characterized as the State Higher Schools of
Irreligion.25
Moreover, the existing Baptist schools in the West were poorly financed: only six of the
eleven had endowments, and the sum of these endowments was only $409,000, less than
the individual endowments of the denominations three leading eastern colleges. As a
result, buildings on the campuses of these western colleges were few, small[,] . . . cheap,
inadequate and old, Gates found, while western Baptist professors, on average, were
paid about half the salaries of their eastern colleagues.26
The problems that Gates enumerated were not, he argued, the result of apathy or
niggardliness on the part of western Baptists, who had shown great self sacrifice and
generosity. Instead, Gates found that the great and fatal difficulty for Western Baptist
education lay in the unfortunate locations chosen for our institutions. With the
exception of the college in Des Moines, Baptist colleges were located in small obscure
towns . . . . far removed from the centres of our western life and western means. . . . out
of the sight and interest of our wealthy men.
The solution Gates put forward was to found a great college, ultimately to be a
university, in Chicago, a well-endowed, exemplary university that would rival the best
on the continent. Chicago is the heart of the west, Gates argued, the fountain of
western life, and the city alone would lift so far aloft a Baptist college as an intellectual
and religious luminary, that its light would illumine every state and penetrate every home
from Lake Erie to the Rocky Mountains.27 Gatess report proved persuasive to the
members of the Society and to John D. Rockefeller, who read it in November. Six months
later Gates persuaded Rockefeller to pledge $600,000 toward a one-million dollar
endowment for the new university at Chicago.28
Prior to pledging his support for the University of Chicago, however, Rockefeller had
agreed to support the broader work of the American Baptist Education Society, a decision
prompted again by his growing trust in the man charged with running the operation. In
the summer of 1888, as Gates and Morehouse set about creating the financial
constituency of the Society, Morehouse asked Rockefeller to support the young Society,
but Rockefeller knew little about its work and what he had heard came from
acquaintances who were hostile to its 9 formation, a fact which he duly noted to
As Gates sought contributions from other wealthy Baptists, he delineated the Societys
policies and emphasized its interest in maximizing local support and promoting sound,
efficient management. The aim of the Society is not to seek from its treasury to endow
our schools, he reported as part of one such solicitation in November 1889, but to give
such aid, at such time, in such amounts, and under such conditions as shall develop the
largest possible local aid to institutions to which we give. Thus, the Society had used
$50,000 of Rockefellers pledge as leverage to bring an additional $290,000 to the coffers
of various institutions. Moreover, he reported, we discourage debt by refusing to assist
institutions who incur debt to pay their debts, and by making local payment of any debts
an invariable condition of any aid from us.
One of the conditions on the endowment grant to Des Moines was that all the legal debts
of Des Moines College shall be paid in full or covered by good subscriptions available
for this purpose by Jan[uary] 1st, 1891.33 Despite the aid of the Society and its concern
for efficient fiscal management, institutions continued to face financial difficulties and
often placed themselves in more difficult situations in attempts to escape the burden of
debt. In 1901 the new president of Shurtleff College in Illinois asked for a modification
of an earlier ABES appropriation because he had not fully realized the conditions
regarding the institutions previous debts and the degree to which this hampered
fundraising.
To begin to pay off the schools debts, the trustees in 1897 had agreed to an eight-page
iron clad arrangement that bonded the entire property of the college and the income of
its endowment funds and appointed a special treasurer to control the trust funds and
systematically retire the $26,000 debt over the next fifteen years. Founded in 1827,
Shurtleff College was one of the oldest Baptist colleges in the Midwest, yet its financial
footing was still slippery after 70 years.34
Des Moines College offers a similar example. As one of the few Midwestern Baptist
colleges located in a city of substantial size, the school was one to which Gates and the
ABES devoted considerable time and energy to maintain and improve. They sought to
make it, rather than rival schools at Pella and Burlington, the favored institution of the
states Baptists, but this proved difficult. The Des Moines school was founded as the
University of Des Moines and incorporated in November 1864 by the Rev. Luther Stone,
Rev. J.F. Childs, and the Rev. J.A. Nash. It opened with a single department for women,
under the direction of Josephine A. Cutter, 11 in 1865, but soon became coeducational. Its
work was mostly that of a preparatory school until 1874, when it began to offer college
classes.
During the 1875-76 school year, the university pledged to raise a $250,000 endowment
and to spend $100,000 for a new building as part of the denominations Centennial
Education Movement, but this campaign met with little success. In 1885 the Prospect
Park Land Company lured the school to a new location, promising that if the
school operated as a College of standard grade for a period of years it would receive
title to the campus and several outlying lots. But the land speculators soon decided that
the school was not up to standard and claimed that it had forfeited its option on the
campus and lots. The college sued and in the Iowa Supreme Court won title to both the
campus and lots. But by 1896 the school was finding it difficult to meet its budget and to
maintain its standing as an affiliate college of the University of Chicago. Gates was
concerned about its future. Acknowledging that the school was not up to college work, he
offered Rockefeller little reason for hope. I know of only one reason why you should
take up Des Moines in an exceptional way, Gates reported to Rockefeller, and that is
that of all these colleges there are none so well attended and at the same time so
inadequately endowed, and with so little promise of local funds and final permanence.35
By 1900 the school was $30,000 in debt, and that spring Morehouse reported to
Rockefeller that the crisis in our Educational history in Iowa has been reached. Unless
Des Moines College can have speedy relief the indications are that it will be obliged to
suspend, and its property pass into the hands of its creditors. The rivalry between the
schools at Pella and Des Moines for the role as the Baptist college in Iowa remained
intense, and the denominational leaders had arranged a compromise by which a pledge
from the Education Society would go to the state educational society and be split between
both schools. This was an unusual request, one which Rockefeller refused. He preferred
to have all of his support concentrated on the Des Moines school, following the ABES
tenet of promoting one strong college in each state; and he pledged $25,000 conditioned
upon the college raising an additional $50,750 by January 1, 1902, which they did.36
Des Moines College received more than $28,000 from Rockefeller in the 1890s and an
additional $24,250 between 1902 and 1914, the second largest sum received by any
school during this period. Still, the colleges problems persisted, and the school
apparently went out of business on the eve of the depression in 1929.37 Its failure was
certainly ironic: according to 12
Gatess reasoning in 1888, the well-situated college should have flourished under the
influence and light spread by the development of the University of Chicago; instead, it
failed, while other Baptist schools in smaller towns Shurtleff College, for example
continued. Moreover, it received more from the ABES than almost any other college
Chicago and Spelman being special cases but it could not overcome the split
allegiances of Iowa Baptists and establish itself as the most significant Baptist college in
the state. The ultimate effectiveness of the American Baptist Education Society, then,
was limited.
Clearly it helped put some schools on more secure footing, but this may have been as
much the result of its assistance with fiscal administration and effective planning than
with its actual payments. Indeed, there are signs that the Society was not as effective as
Rockefeller had hoped.
When I told him the other day the amount of cash on his pledges we had actually called
for, by fulfillment of terms, Gates reported to one ABES board member in March 1891,
he was astonished at the smallness of the sum.38 The size of Rockefellers gifts alone
was not sufficient to sustain any particular institution, except in the special cases of
Chicago and Spelman, to which he devoted large sums.
If the results of the Societys work were not entirely successful for specific schools, its
impact on Rockefellers philanthropy was clear and significant. Through the ABES
Rockefeller met and came to trust Frederick Gates, and in March of 1891 he asked Gates
to move to New York to help him gain control over the flood of charitable requests and
organize his philanthropy to make it more efficient. Moreover, the ABES example gave
both Rockefeller and Gates experience with large-scale educational philanthropy, and the
lessons they learned there proved important with their next big enterprise in this area, the
General Education Board.
The ABES had been built on faith faith that Rockefeller money would attract more
money and naturally help the institution grow; the General Education Board was built on
analysis and investigation. With more money, a larger staff of professionals, and a more
clearly defined mission, the General Education Board provided grants to promising
institutions deemed worthy of support.39 The GEB kept in much closer contact with
specific institutions and kept particularly close watch on finances.
The ability to investigate conditions, analyze problems, and recommend and fund
specific solutions set the GEB apart from the ABES, and distinguished all subsequent
philanthropic corporations established by Rockefeller.

3. See especially his first three ledgers, A, B, and C, in the JDR Papers at the Rockefeller
Archive Center. The ledgers enable the researcher to trace easily Rockefellers giving
from about 1855 until 1871 (see, for example, Ledger B, pp. 91-93, and 130-131). In
1871 his list of donations become fragmented and more difficult to follow, as his
donation list came to include cross references to his office ledger, to Mrs. Rockefellers
House Account, and Expense Book at Home (see Ledger B, pp. 201-202). By 1878 it
is again fairly easy to follow his donations. While these ledgers and, beginning in late
1882, the pledge books offer researchers a chronological view of the growth and
14
expansion of Rockefellers charitable giving, the Charities Index cards in the JDR Papers,
Financial Material series, provide a record of Rockefeller contributions to specific
individuals and institutions from approximately 1879 into the early 1900s, listing dates,
amounts, and the person through whom institutional gifts were given. These cards also
serve as a valuable index to his philanthropic correspondence for three years.

230. Although Rockefeller made these early and significant pledges toward black
education, and would continue to do so, he seems not to have been entirely confident or
comfortable in the field. His charity in this area was one to which he gave considerable
thought in the years to come. In the fall of 1888, for example, Morehouse was planning a
special meeting of the ABHMS to commemorate its twenty-five years of work among
blacks. He asked Rockefeller to attend the meeting, or, if he was unable, to send a
message. We have a great problem in their education, Rockefeller replied. I am
thankful to have had some little part in it and want to further pursue the study of the
question with a view to understand better my responsibility in the case. Kindly assure the
colored people of my sympathy for, and interest in them and tell them, I hope they will in
addition to securing knowledge from books, strive to learn to do all kinds of work, and
better than any other class of men. In 1891 he asked his new philanthropic advisor,
Frederick Gates, to consider the problem of black education. I am smoking my pipe
right along on this colored education matter, Gates reported, but thus far only with this
result, that before making any suggestions regarding either Richmond Theo[logical]
Sem[inary] or the general colored work I must ask plenty of time. These questions have I
find a good many side[s], not all of them easily come at. See Morehouse to Rockefeller,
August 18, 1888, JDR Papers, Office Correspondence, box 28, folder 216; Rockefeller to
Morehouse, August 25, 1888, JDR Letterbooks, vol. 17, p . 128; and Gates to
Rockefeller, May 30, 1891, in the copies of Gates correspondence as secretary of the
American Baptist Education Society, Frederick T. Gates Papers, box 4, folder 80,
Rockefeller Archive Center. As is implicit in James D. Andersons study, The Education
of Blacks in the South, 1860-1935 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press,
1988), Rockefellers philanthropy for black education spanned both its religious
missionary phase and its industrial education phase. The whole question of Rockefellers
attitude toward black education deserves further study, especially in the decades of the
1880s and the 1890s, as does his changing relationship with Henry Morehouse. This
preliminary evidence suggests that Morehouse played a crucial role in channeling
Rockefellers giving in this direction, but that while Rockefeller may have understood the
16
religious rationale, he was troubled by its social implications and was himself an early
proponent of industrial education. Indeed, Morehouse and his approach to black
education gradually lost favor with Rockefeller as the influence of Gates and other
advisors increased. James Anderson describes Morehouse as one of the missionary
vanguard in black education, a powerful vanguard that stood clearly and unswervingly
for black higher education and for the development of advanced technical schools to
prepare blacks for executive and administrative posts. The Atlanta Baptist College was
later renamed Morehouse College in his honor. Anderson, Education of Blacks in the

later development, nutrition and health, among the most powerful is the education of that
childs mother.
At the other end of the spectrum, many of Africas universities are better equipped today
to produce the educated leadership that their democracies and economies require to break
out of the cycles of poverty and instability. But for students to get there, they will need
more and better opportunities for primary and secondary education.
HOUSING
And in the United States, the availability of various forms of housing must reflect the
needs and financial resource of a diverse population.
Homeownership, at one end of the housing continuum, has for generations symbolized
entry into the middle class and achievement of a vital part of the American dream. And at
its most stark, homelessness, and chronic homelessness in particular, is one of the most
visible and seemingly intractable symbols of poverty and marginalization found
anywhere. While personal circumstances and economic cycles push millions of
Americans in and out of temporary homelessness, approximately 200,000 to 250,000
people with mental and physical health problems are chronically homeless, living in
mostly urban areas often beyond the reach of many social service providers.
The challenge of finding a safe, affordable place to live is not necessarily a question of
having a job, as it once was. In three-quarters of all U.S. metropolitan areas, two full-time
workers earning minimum wage do not earn enough to afford the median price of a two
bedroom apartment.
HEALTH
Today it is less than one in 20. Tremendous advances in medicine over the past five
decades have allowed not just children, but all humankind, to live longer, healthier lives.
But these gains have not been evenly distributed. Poor peoplein both poor and rich
countriesare sicker and die younger.
Diseases that have either been eliminated or managed through medical treatments in more
prosperous countries still menace poor countries. For example, more than two-thirds of
the 1.75 million annual deaths from tuberculosis occur in Africa and Southeast Asia. And
while sub-Saharan Africa accounts for just 10 percent of the worlds population, it is home
to 60 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS. Of the more than 1 million people killed
by malaria each year, 90 percent come from Africa and the majority are children.
Drug companies, by themselves, do not have an incentive to develop new medicines for
people who desperately need them but cannot afford them. And even if improved and
affordable drugs were soon available, Africa does not train or retain enough health care
workers to deliver them. With few health care options, education systems have been
devastated as teachers become ill and healthy students often must leave school to care for
their siblings when one or both parents becomes ill or dies. Women and men, farmers and
civil servantsall in their most productive yearsare dying, eroding the families and
societies left in their wake.

The Foundation works globally but provides the majority of its grants to organizations
whose work is focused in Southern and Eastern Africa, Southeast Asia and North
America through programs which address agriculture, health, employment,
housing, education, arts and culture and global policy.
The Foundation also operates special programs, including a conference and
study program at its Bellagio Center, the Program Venture Experiment and the
Philanthropy Workshop.
As a matter of policy, the Foundation does not give or lend money for personal

Biography
Senator Jay Rockefeller has proudly served the people of West Virginia for almost 40
years. In 1964, Rockefeller first came to West Virginia as a 27-year-old VISTA
volunteer serving in the small mining community of Emmons. West Virginia has been
his home ever since. Working with the residents of Emmons to improve the
community through projects such as building a community center and library,
constructing a park, and lobbying the county school board to put a bus stop in
Emmons, changed Jay Rockefellers life forever.
Many of the lessons that Rockefeller learned in Emmons have shaped his public
service career. Rockefeller has devoted his life in government - first as Governor for
eight years and Senator for the past 18 - to securing the best jobs and opportunities
for West Virginia workers and their children. He served as Governor during some of
the state's darkest years, when manufacturing plants and coal mines were closing as
the national recession of the early 1980s hit West Virginia particularly hard. Those
experiences taught Rockefeller the need to strengthen existing industries, to diversify
the state's economy, and to look beyond its borders for investment opportunities. By
working aggressively, taking a long-term view and emphasizing the loyalty and work
ethic of our state's workers, Rockefeller has attracted national and international
companies to the Mountain State.
As a champion for economic development, Rockefeller worked for 15 years to attract
Toyota Motor Manufacturing to West Virginia. His patience and determination with
Toyota paid off in 1996, when the company announced its plans to build its newest
engine plant in Buffalo, Putnam County. Toyota initially invested $400 million in the
factory, and employed 300 people, however, in 1998, and again in 2001, Toyota
expanded, bringing the total investment to $1 billion and creating 1,000 jobs.
As part of his economic strategy, Rockefeller in 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001 led
Project Harvest trade missions, introducing West Virginia businesses to Japan and
Taiwan, opening markets for West Virginia products. He continues to play an
instrumental role in attracting investment in and jobs for West Virginia. In addition to
Toyota, Rockefeller successfully brought international companies Wheeling-Nisshin
Steel to the northern panhandle, NGK Sparkplugs to Pocatalico, Sino Swearingen
Aircraft to Martinsburg, Tiger Aircraft to the eastern panhandle, KS of West Virginia to
Jackson County, and Okuno to Wayne County. All together, these companies will have
brought more than 2200 jobs to West Virginia.
Rockefeller has applied the same dogged
determination to his passion to improve health
care. This includes advocating comprehensive
health care reform, fighting to reduce the number
of uninsured kids and working families, protecting
seniors and veterans health care, and fighting for
the promised health benefits of retired coal
miners. In 1992, he won an historic fight to
protect health care benefits for retired coal
miners, calling the victory the proudest moment
of his career. He has continued his commitment
to coal miners health by working to pass law in
1996 that prohibits companies from denying
insurance coverage based on pre-existing conditions, and in 2001 by securing a
three-year deal to prevent cuts in miners health benefits.
Rockefeller is nationally known as one of the strongest advocates for health care
reform. In the late 1980s, when he served as Chairman of the Pepper Commission
(the Bipartisan Commission on Comprehensive Health Care) he authored historic
legislation reforming the way physicians are paid under Medicare. The next year,
Congress approved his legislation expanding Medicaid to cover home and community
health care services and protecting senior citizens from excessive charges. In 1997,
he co-authored legislation creating the Children's Health Insurance Program which
has provided health care coverage to 22,000 children in working families in West
Virginia, and over 5 million children nationally.
And, finally, Rockefeller is known for championing initiatives to strengthen families
and children. In 1996, Rockefeller joined with Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) to
sponsor the Snowe-Rockefeller Amendment to the Telecommunications Act of 1996,
helping every school and library in America to connect to the Internet. This bill,
known as the E-rate, reduces the gap between the education-technology "haves" and
the "have-nots," giving students in poor or rural areas access to educational
opportunities.
pay for gasoline and face the specter of soaring home heating bills this winter. "Your sacrifice
appears to be nothing," Boxer told the executives.
The head of the National Association of Manufacturers, former Michigan Gov. John Engler,
criticized lawmakers for the way they handled the hearing.
"Demagoguery and demonization will not reduce energy prices or solve supply problems in the
long run," he said. "Our energy supply and infrastructure have suffered from 25 years of
increasingly restrictive government policies that have made it almost impossible to access and
refine the resources we have. The Senate should dispense with the theatrics and get serious
about Americas energy supply."
The White House said that President Bush, too, is concerned about energy prices.
"Energy prices have been too high and energy companies have realized significant increases in
profits," said spokesman Scott McClellan. "It's important that the private sector be good corporate
citizens and invest in the energy infrastructure and support those who are in need."
A number of Democrats, joined by a few Republicans, have called for a windfall profits tax on oil
companies.
Domenici said he opposes such a move, saying "it didn't work before and probably won't work
again." The government imposed taxes on oil company windfall profits in the 1970s, resulting in a
drop in investment in oil development.
The executives hoped to dampen any further momentum for calls for taxing windfall oil company
profits, something still viewed as a longshot but also no longer out of the question. Such a tax
could inhibit investment in refineries or oil exploration and production, the industry argues.
James Mulva, chairman of ConocoPhillips, said "we are ready open our records" to dispute
allegations of price gouging. ConocoPhillips earned $3.8 billion in the third quarter, an 89 percent
increase over a year earlier. But he said that represents only a 7.7 percent profit margin for every
dollar of sales. "We do not consider that a windfall," said Mulva.
Raymond cautioned against Congress imposing "punitive measures, hastily crafted" -- an
apparent reference to windfall profits taxes -- and suggested that they would inhibit investment in
domestic energy projects. Both Republicans and Democrats have urged the companies to use
more of their profits to build refineries and other energy projects.
David O'Reilly, chairman of Chevron, attributed the high energy prices to tight supplies even
before the Gulf hurricanes hit and said his company is "investing aggressively in the development
of new energy supplies."
The oil executives said their companies spend tens of billions of dollars in investments.
Shell earned $9 billion in the third quarter, said John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., but he
said over the last five years the company's investment in U.S. operations was equal to its income
from U.S. sales.
The oil industry's record third-quarter profits -- at a time when motorists were reeling from
unprecedentedly high gasoline costs and warned of huge heating bills this winter -- have caught
the attention of both Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Some analysts predict the 29
largest oil companies will earn $96 billion this year.
heating program as part of the current budget process. At the same time, he is fighting a more
expensive plan that would add $2.9 billion to the program.
Another plan, introduced in September by Sens. Dorgan and Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., would
place a windfall tax of 50 percent on any profits earned on oil sold above $40 a barrel. The
lawmakers say their bill would force oil companies to do one of two things: reinvest the value of
the tax into additional refining capacity or fuel sources, or give the money back to consumers.
Banaszak said the most preferable plans are ones that either promote expansion like the
Gasoline for America's Security Act or at least do not interfere with the market, like the LIHEAP
funding proposals.
But lawmakers must be careful when designing laws that promote industry expansion because
"companies should be deciding how to invest in the most efficient ways," Banaszak said.
Companies should not be forced to invest in certain industries that might not be the most efficient
or cost-effective. For instance, it might be much more expensive to invest in domestic oil drilling
than in drilling abroad.
She also questioned the logic of the Dorgan-Dodd plan, saying the $40 per barrel price set as the
tipping point in the bill doesn't represent what the lawmakers say it does. Whereas the lawmakers
say the price represents the point after which oil companies receive pure profit, Banaszak said
many oil production companies must buy oil before processing it, which also cuts into their profit
margins.
Banaszak added that the plan would discourage investment, similar to a 1980s windfall profit tax.
Congressional research shows that 1.6 billion fewer barrels of oil were produced as a direct result
of the 1980s tax, she said.
But Cooper countered that oil industry doesn't behave in a basic competitive model in which
competition and regulation stop price abuse.
"In the oil industry, we have neither," he said. He suggested a series of other proposals, including
a strategic refining reserve that would be blocked off from the rest of the oil markets except in
major emergencies; a strategic reserve of gasoline versus unrefined oil reserves (a strategic
home heating oil reserve does exist); a greater investment in biofuels to create more competition
with crude oil industry; and investment in vehicle efficiency.
Whatever plans take shape, with 48 million auto club members, AAA's McNaull said his group will
be listening closely to explanations and proposals offered by the oil companies.
"There's a real desire to hear what they have to say," he said.
Standard Oil Trust. The breakup of the trust in 1911 lead to the formation of the Standard
Oil Company of California. In the 1920s and 1930s, the company began investing in
international exploration and made the first major discoveries in Bahrain and Saudi
Arabia.
In 1936, in partnership with Texaco, it formed Caltex, bringing in new markets in Asia,
Africa, and Europe. After World War II, continued expansion led to major discoveries in
Indonesia, Australia, the U.K. North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
In 1984, the company nearly doubled its size by acquiring Gulf Oil Corporation in what
then was the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. That same year, Standard also
changed its name to Chevron, the well-known brand name of many of its products. In
1993, Chevron achieved another milestone when it joined the Republic of Kazakhstan in
the largest joint venture between a Western company and a member of the former Soviet
Union. A new company, Tengizchevroil, was formed to develop the Tengiz oil field, the
largest discovery in the past 30 years.
This sample of Chevron propaganda to relay the gargantuan dimension of only this small
portion of the Rockefellers petrochemical/pharmaceutical holdings. The Rockefeller
family is like a central cog in the globalists wheel of fortune. They not only played a
crucial role in the early laboratory developments surrounding the West Nile Virus, and
many other contemporary pathogens and plagues, but through their global entities and
corporate networks, the Rockefellers have routinely practiced Machiavellian ecogenocide. Creating such problems and solutions to justify and effect non-lethal
military/public health operations, that coincidentally serve lucrative depopulation
functions, their scientific, service to humanity is destined to effect a New World
Order with far fewer more easily controlled people.
EBOLA
Ebola, the ideal biological weapon that kills nine-out-of-ten humans within three weeks
of infection, emerged first in three European vaccine production laboratories, virtually
simultaneously, in 1967. Then named the Marburg Virus (after the Marburg, Germany,
address of the Paul Ehrlich Institute, wherein one of the first outbreaks took place),
consensus held that this virus arrived in Europe in a shipment of nearly 500 AFRICAN
MONKEYS. LITTON BIONETICS was the infamous monkey supplier.
Kitum Cave, near the West Nile region of Central Africa, according to suppressed
National Cancer Institute (NCI) documents, was Prestons metaphor for Litton Bionetics
research lab. Here, in the West Nile Valley region of Uganda, currently the heart of the
African AIDS belt, Bionetics collaborated, from the early 1960s through 1978, with the
International Agency for Research in Cancer (IARC). The IARC was funded by the U.S.
National Institutes of Health, but centered in France! This is an early indication of the
global nature of biomedical research and the biological weapons industry. Near the
actual Kitum Cave, in Northwest Uganda, Litton Bionetics and NCI scientists
Elmer Bobst, nicknamed THE VITAMIN KING, was Laskers partner in establishing
the AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY in the early 1940s. Bobst later became President
of other Rockefeller directed holdings including Hoffman LaRoche and Warner-Lambert.
Bobst is further credited for having brought Richard Nixon to power, and because of his
wealth and political influence, persuaded Nixon to wage his failed WAR ON
CANCER. It was during this war that cancer viruses, many functionally and
descriptively identical to the human immunodeficiency virusts (HIVs) associated with
AIDS, were produced, cultured, and tested by BIONETICS under a contract. FROM
HERE, as increasing numbers of authorities now admit, many of these man-made viruses
were transmitted to humanity through contaminated vaccines. Some claim these
contaminations were intended to destroy undesirable populations.
SIDE NOTE: HOROWITZS OTHER BOOK: EMERGING VIRUSES: AIDS &
EBOLANature, Accident or Intentional?
George Herbert Walker Bush, at the time Elmer Bobst was coaching and bankrolling
Richard Nixons successful election bid, stood beside his grandfathers best friend,
General William Draper III, to warn congressional legislators about the imminent
national security threat posed by burgeoning Third World populations. Black Africans
were particularly troublesome they said, as did Georges grandfather, PRESCOTT, during
the 1920s. PRESCOTT, at that time, had joined financial forces with John D.
Rockefeller, the Draper family, and the Royal Family of England, to fund the initial
research that led to the first racial hygiene programs. It was first called, EUGENICS.
Later, it was renamed population control, as actively practiced in FAMILY
PLANNING.
Today, EUGENICS is better known as: THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT which is
still heavily funded by the Rockefeller and Sloan Foundations, as is COLD SPRING
HARBOR LABS wherein much of this research continues in New York.
The Bush and Draper population concerns prompted Henry Kissinger to begin writing the
infamous NATIONAL SECURITY SPECIAL [i.e., Secret] Memorandum 200:
Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.
Submitted before he left his NSA advisor post in 1974, and declassified December 31,
1980, the document called for massive Third World depopulation. As NSSM 200 was
being prepared, George H.W. Bush was appointed to serve as CIA director.
Following Henry Kissingers loss of his NSA post, the Rockefeller-directed depopulation
agenda gained added force during the Carter administration with Zbigniew Brzezinski as
NSA chief. According to two previous CIA directorsRichard Helms and William
Colbyas published in U.S. Congressional Records, Dr. Kissinger oversaw the
development of biological weapons for covert operations including depopulation
programs.
Dr. Kissinger was a leading foreign policy advisor for American Presidents, as well as on
the Board of Advisors of the Merck pharmaceutical companyanother firm largely
become the CIAs headquarters following the war. Germanys leading industrial
organization, whose subsidiaries produced the earliest pesticides, drugs, and war gases. It
largely dictated economic and industrial policies to Hitler and his financial minister
Martin Bormann. The cartel arrangement between Rockefellers Standard Oil Company
and Farben included a non-competitive sharing of global revenues from the
petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.
In EMERGING VIRUSES, by Leonard Horowitz, he traced the development of
viruses, functionally and descriptively identical to HIV and EBOLA, to the West Nile
region of Northwest Uganda. There, military-medical operations and vaccine
experiments were ongoing involving the biological weapons contractor, LITTON
BIONETICS. Under National Institutes of Health (NIH) contracts, BIONETICS shipped
contaminated monkeys and chimpanzees to New York City, where Dr. Maurice Hilleman
received them to develop Merck pharmaceutical company vaccines.
In his book: HEALING CODES FOR THE BIOLOGICAL APOCALYPSE,
Leonard Horowitz and Dr. Joseph Puleo exposed the passage of ancient sacred
knowledge involving physics, mathematics, genetics, language, music, spirituality, and
healing, and the ARCANAS current use by global leaders of the international
chemical/pharmaceutical cartel, in their efforts to survey, manipulate, control, enslave
and even kill world populations. The HUMAN GENOME PROJECT, they proclaimed,
would significantly help promote health in the 21st Century. What they did not tell is that
the Rockefeller-linked Cold Spring Harbor Labs, home to the Human Genome Project,
and original eugenics research that Hitler later termed racial hygiene was also deeply
invested in HAARPthe electro-magnetic transmission in Alaska, New York, and
elsewhere, that has aimed frequency generators to control weather and apparently
populations as well.

Jan VAN HELSINGS Secret Societies and Their Power in the 20th Century.
The shams of public health might be best explained by the substantial interest
paid by the Rockefeller family to the entire field. This influence is peddled through
pseudo-scientific institutions and agencies, operating both domestically and
internationally that ultimately pave the study paths considered legitimate for science to
pursue. This power brokering, naturally, depends heavily on payoffs and propaganda
mechanisms, and extends globally to effect genocide beyond most people desire to
imagine.
As a clinician and health professional educator, Leonard Horowitz was amazed
for more than a decade that peopleincluding academicians, scientists, and health
service providershave remained subservient to this widespread Rockefeller influence.
Through their foundations and allied institutions, Americas wealthiest family has
asserted its direction over the fields of public health and medicine for almost a century.
Meanwhile, the virtual army of health professionalspeople who, mostly for the love of
humanity, endured years of dehumanizing indoctrination called medical education, and
paid dearly physically and financiallyhave remained pawns in a global sham.
It is not secret that worldwide, people have been heavily influenced, if not entirely
brainwashed by pharmaceutical propaganda. Catherine De Angelis of the JOURNAL
OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION stated, It is unconscionable to
advertise wares under the guise of medical education. The drug companies provide
unrestricted grants to the marketers who hire the course faculty. But growing numbers
of critics say theres nothing unrestricted about the involvement of pharmaceutical
companies.

Max May, a Skull & Bones brother of Harriman, was vice-president of the GUARANTY
TRUST COMPANY controlled by J.P. Morgan at that time included Harold Stanley and
Thomas Cochran. The capital used to create the Guaranty Trust came from the
Harrimans, Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Whitneysall families with blood kin in the
Skull & Bones.
Percy Rockefeller represented his familys interest in the Skull & Bones as well as
Guaranty Trust, which he directed from 1915 to 1930. Rothschild and Bavarian
Illuminati representatives helped establish the Rockefellers European Standard Oil
empire as well as Carnegies steelworks and Harrimans railroad. The economic result of
these investments is diagramed depicting the international banking community:

The introduction of the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM in 1913 enabled these
international bankers to consolidate their American financial powers. Banking chiefs,
who were largely supported by the Rothschilds, became the chairmen of the First Federal
Reserve Bank Of New York. Following passage of the FEDERAL RESERVE ACT,
WARBURG conspired with others in the U.S. Congress to illegally ratify the 16th
Amendment to the Constitution after which Congress deemed it necessary to levy
personal income taxes on American citizens. The legislation was required since the
United States government could no longer print money to finance its operations due to
the controlling forces of the international banking cartel.
OPPOSITION TO THESE FISCAL POLICIES CAME, BUT WAS GROSSLY
INADEQUATE TO QUELL THE CHANGING TIDE. U.S. Congressman Louis
McFadden expressed sentiments of too few when he decried, We have in this country
one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal
Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank, hereinafter called the FED. They are not
government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of
these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers.
WITH NO APOLOGIES: The Personal And Political Memoirs of U.S. Senator
Barry Goldwater expressed the insiders view that THE ROUND TABLES cover
organization, THE CFR, tightly controlled the American political scene with the
Rockefellers at the helm. I believe the Council On Foreign Relations and its ancillary
elitist groups are indifferent to communism. They have NO IDEOLOGICAL
ANCHORS. In their pursuit of a NEW WORLD ORDER they are prepared to deal
without prejudice with a communist state, a socialist state, a democratic state, monarchy,
oligarchyits all the same to them.
Rear Admiral Chester Ward of the U.S. Navy, a sixteen-year veteran of the CFR
warned, The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common
they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national
independence of the United States.
World War II, Standard Oil had a continuing cartel agreement not to enter into the broad
field of chemicals except as a partner with I.G. Farben which, in turn, agreed not to
compete in oil. The other is that, because of the unpopularity of Farben in America, and
its need to camouflage its American holdings, Standard had concealed even its
partnership interest in chemical firms behind a maze of false fronts and dummy
accounts.
Griffin further detailed the Rockefeller groups pyramid of power through
which international corporate control was exercised. The Rockefellers placed influential
managers atop a vast number of companies. Included here was LITTON INDUSTRIES
THE PARENT COMPANY TO LITTON BIONETICS.
THE ROCKEFELLERS AND EUGENICS
Prior to WWII, underlying the close working relationship between German and
American Governments, according to German scholar Stephan Kuhl in The Nazi
Connection: Eugenics, American Racism and German National Socialism, was the
extensive financial support of American foundations for the establishment of eugenic
research in Germany. The MAIN SUPPORTER WAS THE ROCKEFELLER
FOUNDATION IN NEW YORK. According to Kuhl, the Rockefellers financed the
research of German racial hygienist Agnes Bluhm on heredity and alcoholism in early
1920. By early 1927, The Foundation began supporting other German eugenicists,
including Hermann Poll, Alfred Grotjahn, and Hans Nactsheim. The Rockefeller
Foundation played the central role in establishing and sponsoring major eugenic institutes
in Germany, including KAISER WILHELM INSTITUTE FOR PSYCHIATRY and THE
KAISER WILHELM INSTITUTE FOR ANTHROPOLOGY, EUGENICS, AND
HUMAN HEREDITY.
Kuhl, a sociologist and historian at the University of Bielefeld in Germany
chronicled the Rockefeller connection to Hitlers racial hygiene program in this way:
In 1918, Germany psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin founded the INSTITUTE OF
PSYCHIATRY in Munich, which was taken over by the KAISER WILHELM SOCIETY
in 1924. Ernst Rudin, later director of the Institute for Psychiatry, headed the Department
of Geneaology and Demography. This departmentthe core of the Institute
concentrated on locating the genetic and neurological basis of traits such as criminal
propensity and mental disease. In 1928, the ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION
DONATED $325,000 for the construction of a new building. The funding of the Institute
in Munich was a model that other American sponsors followed. Ironically, the Institute
continued to be supported by the money of the Jewish philanthropist JAMES LOEB until
1940.
The actual building of the KAISER WILHELM INSTITUTE FOR
ANTHROPOLOGY, EUGENICS, AND HUMAN HEREDITY in Berlin was also
partially funded by money from the ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION. The Institute
concentrated on a comprehensive project on racial variation as indicated by blood groups,
and on twin studies, coordinated by Otmar Freiher von Verschuer. When severe financial
problems threatened to close the Institute during the early years of the Depression, the
Rockefeller Foundation kept it afloatThe Foundation continued to support German
eugenicists even after the NATIONAL SOCIALISTS had gained control over German
science.
By 1930, the U.S. and Germany had surpassed Great Britain as the leading forces
of the International eugenics movement. Around that time, Ernst Rudin took control over
the International Federation of Eugenic Organizations (IFEO), whose major
administrative offices included The Eugenics Record Office and the Station for
Experimental Evolution in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, currently home to the
Human Genome Project, and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin.
THE SECRET WAR AGAINST THE JEWS
Under the cloak of his official position, Rockefeller and his chronies would take
over Britains most valuable Latin American properties. If the British resisted, he would
effectively block raw materials and food supplies desperately needed for Britains fight
against Hitler.
Loftus and Aarons credited the close relationship the Rockefellers maintained
with I.G. Farben for their preferential treatment of Hitler over Churchill in THE SECRET
WAR AGAINST THE JEWS:
The Rockefellers just happened to own the largest stock in Standard of New
Jersey and were then in partnership with the Nazi-controlled I.G. Farben, which held the
second largest share of the Rockefeller-controlled oil company, to develop synthetic gas
and rubber. The sources among the former intelligence officers whom we interviewed on
the Rockefellers say that the family was in complete agreement with the DULLES
BROTHERS and FORRESTAL on the question of preserving U.S. profits, no matter who
won the war. In 1936, the Rockefellers entered into partnership with ALLEN DULLESS
NAZI FRONT, the Schroder Bank of New York, which was a key institution in the
Fascist economic miracle for which Hitler was credited. In 1939, the Rockefeller
controlled Chase National Bank secured $25 million for Nazi Germany and supplied
Berlin with information on ten thousand Nazi sympathizers in the United States. Except
for a few months interruption, the Rockefeller owned Standard Oil Company shipped oil
to the Nazis through Spain all throughout the war
These investigators judged the roster of the Rockefellers known pro-Nazi
behavior as horrendous. They noted Senator Harry Trumans description of the
Rockefellers company behavior as treasonous. On September 22, 1947, Loftus and
Aarons chronicled, Federal Judge Charles Clark issued an opinion against the
Rockefellers in a civil case brought against Standard Oil. He stated that the company
can be considered an enemy national in view of its relationship with I.G. FARBEN after
the U.S. and Germany had become active enemies.
Two months later, merely days before the Rockefeller-controlled United Nations
voted on the question of a Jewish promised land, David Ben-Gurion, and other Jewish
intelligence officers, entered Nelson Rockefellers office. They arrived with their
dossier of discriminating proof that he had personally committed treason against the
United States of AmericaThey had his Swiss bank records with the Nazis, his signature
on correspondence setting up the German cartel in South America, transcripts of his
conversations with Nazi Agents during the war, and finally, evidence of his complicity in
helping Allen Dulles smuggle Nazi war criminals and money from the Vatican to
Argentina. Loftus and Aarons documented all of this. It was the perfect moment for
blackmail they wrote, and that was the antecedent that prompted Rockefeller to direct
the decisive South American vote to form the STATE OF ISRAEL.
KAISER PERMANENTE AND NON-LETHAL ETHNIC CLEANSING
One might ask, Who was Kaiser Wilhelm, and why had the Rockefeller family
invested so heavily in a eugenics institute given his name? Further, what, if any,
relationships remain in contemporary medicine and public health which reflect these
original institutions and their mission to direct global racial hygiene?
In June 1990, the Center For Disease Control with the help of KAISER
PERMANENTE, injected more than 1500 six-month old Black and Hispanic babies in
Los Angeles with a high-potency Edmonston Zagreb (EZ) measles vaccine. Tens of
thousands of other infants were similarly treated experimentally in Third World countries.
The shots caused many deaths, but generally resulted in profound chronic immune
suppression and greatly enhanced susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers.
The study was halted in October 1991, after more than a year of repeated reports
from vaccine trial sites in Africa that female babies were dying in higher than expected
numbers six months or longer after their inoculations.
The public learned that Kaiser Permanentes HEALTH MAINTENANCE
ORGANIZATION (HMO) in Northern California had become Americas premier vaccine
testing institution, according to the San Jose MERCURY NEWS. But Black, Latino,
and American Indian babies bear the brunt of the risk involved in getting vaccines to the
market, reported staff writer Ariana Eunjung Cha. At least 8 out of 14 childhood
vaccines approved since 1990 were tested disproportionately in lower-income minority
communities largely through Kaisers trials in which the experimental nature of the
products and potential dangers werent properly described to parents.
The socioeconomic and ethnic imbalance in vaccine studies is the by-product of
a testing network that grew out of years of cooperation between the government,
pharmaceutical companies and health care providers. The first tests of new vaccines are
usually conducted through academic centers and are funded at least partially by the
National Institutes of Health. The larger vaccine trials that come next can involved tens
of thousands of children and take place mostly on Indian reservations or through HMOs
like Kaiser Permanente in California, Colorado, Hawaii and Georgia or Group Health
Cooperative in Washington.
Kaiser Permanente Northern California, with 16 hospitals from Santa Rosa to
Fresno, is the most popular vaccine-testing site in the nationbecause of its military-like
record keeping, and the fact that some 27,000 babies are born there every year. Since
1990, the HMO has overseen 34 vaccine tests, for products developed by almost every
major vaccine maker in the world.
Kaisers direction in this community service field, and efforts to benefit the
world at large, derives more from the Rockefeller-Royal family-linked Committee of
300 and the Stanford Research Institute than from the NIH, CDC, or WHO. Moreover,
their contributions to the field of public health derives less from a humanitarian spirit
than from major investments in bio-spiritual (biological and electromagnetic)( warfare for
technotronic eugenics.
For the past half century, the Rockefeller-Farben directed Sloan and Kettering
Foundations have not only led the cancer industry in the development and promotion of
highly ineffective and risky chemotherapeutics, but they have, since the 1970s,
consistently acted as a primary source of propaganda, in the truest sense of psychological
warfare, insofar as covering the genocidal aspects of the cancer industry. The lead
propagandist has been LAURANCE ROCKEFELLER, not only the long-term director
and financial chief of the Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center, and the top
contributor to the Sloan Foundation, but also the DIRECTOR OF READERS DIGEST
with 18 million circulation and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC with 10 million circulation.
This means that the Rockefeller Brothers Fund director personally influenced at
least 28 million middle class American households per month. Similarly, the Sloan
Foundation has heavily financed public management communications research, and
supported pioneering developments in this field. Promoting certain famous authors and
best-selling publications, the cartel has thus managed to cloud the publics mind
concerning the industrial and iatrogenic origins of most cancers, other immune system
disorders, and a plethora of laboratory produced viruses now killing millions. This
propagandist function is a necessary objective of non-lethal warfare.
Vital truths about many modern infectious diseases, including AIDS and EBOLA,
CANCERS, and most chronic illnesses, as well as low cost, no risk, highly effective
treatment alternatives, have been effectively concealed by the global industrialists
through their use of such propaganda.
By what mechanisms might Rockefeller family members have exerted such
control over U.S. Government and health science agencies? The answer is, through a
hierarchy of privately financed and controlled entities described by Dr. Coleman:

During World War II, Nelson Rockefeller remained highly active in the politically
powerful COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS (CFR) directed by the Executive Arm
of the Royal Institute For International Affairs under the Committee of 300.
In keeping with its mission and heritage, CFR members consistently pursued three major
goals. These included the provision of new ideas for U.S. foreign policy, such as
nuclear weapons development as directed by Rockefeller subordinate Dr. Henry
Kissinger, and preparations for global bio-terrorism, as directed by unrecognized white
collar bio-terrorist, Dr. Joshua Lederberg, representing Rockefeller University, and the
AMERICAN TYPE CULTURE COLLECTION (ATCC).
Dr. Lederberg was cited for lying to Congressional investigators and the American people
on behalf of the Pentagon regarding biological exposures of Gulf War troops. Sadam
Husseins prepardness to conduct bio-chemical warfare was largely due to the ATCC
shipments of biological weapons cultures, including WNV, to Iraq prior to the Gulf War,
and Dr. Lederberg knew it.
National Institutes of Health documents and contracts showed that the ATCC committed
acts, that, a minimum, border on treason against the United States. These records show
that even leukemia-inducing and HIV-like retroviruses were shipped to Russian
biological warfare labs during the Cold War. The Senate Riegle Committee investigation
failed to determine this fact. Thus, not only had Sadam Hussein received biological
weapons shipments from the ATCC, including the West Nile Virus, but also, so had the
Russians.
In light of the USDHEW/NIH documents citing the Russian recipients of Americas most
advanced viral cancer triggers, and other assorted biological weapons, the frequent
allegation of American biowarfare experts that Russia led the biological weapons race
might now be seen as grossly deceptive. According to the SVCP report of 1978, the
Russians required and readily received, complete scientific assistance in developing their
cancer virus and infectious disease laboratories and arsenals.
BREAKING CODE 666 AND THE HEART OF THE BEAST
According to biographers, KAISER WILHELM II of Germany was widely
known for his saber rattling and perceived war mongering. He was crowned Emperor in
1888 and died in 1941. King Frederick III of Prussia was his father, and Queen Victoria
of Britain was his grandmother. King Edward VII of England was his uncle, and King
George V, his cousin. Thus, the German, Prussian, British, military, and even genetic
roots of the Kaiser name foreshadows the revelations concerning the diversified KAISER
INDUSTRIES.
KAISER INDUSTRIES was linked to the STANFORD RESEARCH
INSTITUTE (SRI) which was founded by the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations
immediately following WWII. SRIs initial purpose involved public relations
campaigning and administration on behalf of the Committee of 300 and Queen Elizabeth
IIs ARCO Oil Company which desired to develop the Royal Familys Alaskan oil fields
with the help of Club of Rome member and international diplomat Robert O. Anderson
who started the ASPEN INSTITUTE think tank.
HAARP was constructed by ARCO and was linked to its European counterpart
EISCAT, whose website text was copyrighted by Cold Spring Harbor (eugenics) Labs in
New York, intricately tied to the Rockefeller Foundation, cancer industry, and Human
Genome Project.
By 1970, the Alaskan legislature had accepted SRIs plan to process and deliver
Alaskan oil. The SRI grew from here to employ approximately 4,000 people with a
budget of $160 million annually applied to social science research, primarily for public
persuasion.
KAISER INDUSTRIES was among the TOP Committee of 300 companies to
partake in the RMARevolution in Military Affairs. The SRI was at the forefront of
engineering at RMA. 60% of SRIS contracts were devoted to futurism with both
military and civilian applications.
SRI, with direction from the Tavistock Institute in London, assembled what Dr.
Coleman called a far reaching and chilling systemthe Business Intelligence
Program, in which Kaiser Industries was a TOP investor. From this program, Kaisers
companies, products, services, and affiliates gained the intelligence, motivation, and
political support to develop the nefarious medical/biochemical/psychosocial operations
befitting a conspiracy to commit global genocide.
THE KAISER ALUMINUM CORPORATION (KAC) of Houston, TX, and its
wholly owned subsidiary, KAISER ALUMINUM & CHEMICAL CORPORATION
(KACC) operated in all principal aspects of the aluminum industry, according to their
company profile, including the international supply of bauxiteearthy hydrous
ALUMINUM OXIDES. This was most interesting for four reasons: 1) William
Thomass discovery of the Hughes Aircraft patent promoting ALUMINUM OXIDE
usage for atmospheric spraying devices to help facilitate weather modification and
likely Project HAARP as well; 2) William Winklers report of extraordinarily high levels
of seawater aluminum theoretically linked to numerous cases of neurotoxicity; 3) The
routine use of aluminum derivatives in vaccines, which, like the mercury (thimerosal)
compound removed from the market in 2000 is a neurotoxin and immune suppressor; and
4) the companys location in, of all places, Houston, Texas, also home to TANOX
Biomedical Systems with its links to the powerful Bush and Baker families, vaccine
studies, and mycoplasma investigations preceding the emergence of Mycoplasma-linked
Gulf War Syndrome and AIDS.
KAC and KACC, the Internet revealed, were re-organized in 1987 and then again
in December of 2000 due to bankruptcy as a subsidiary of MAXXAM, Inc. MAXXAM
is a company that conducts substantially of its business through its subsidiaries. In other
words, its a front company, such as those traditionally used by the Rockefeller-Farben
petro-chemical and pharmaceutical cartel to skirt anti-trust and insider trading laws.
Besides maintaining MAXXAM Medical group businesses, the company operated
in four principal RMA industries: 1) aluminum through majority owned KAC and KACC
which controlled Kaiser Electro-optics, Inc., a Rockwell-Collins company largely dealing
with microscopic and telescopic applications in medicine, aerospace and defense. In this
regard, a descriptive list of KAISER subsidiaries shows that a definitive correlation was
found between the STAR WARS and psychotronic non-lethal weapons systems and
Kaiser subsidiary developments including the surveillance and aerosol spraying
technologies. These were required for the RMA and electromagnetic projects to facilitate
non-lethal warfare against both military and civilian populations and for populations
control.

U.S. PATENT ASSIGNED TO HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO. FOR ATMOSPHERIC
SPRAYING WITH ALUMINUM OXIDE (AI2O3) FOR ALLEGEDLY REDUCING
GLOBAL WARMING THROUGH CLOUD SEEDING
A method is described for reducing atmospheric or global warming resulting from the
presence of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, i.e., from the green-house effect. Such
gases are relatively transparent to sunshine, but absorb strongly the long-wavelength
infrared radiation released by the earth. The method incudes the step of seeding the layer
of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere with particles of materials characterized by
wavelength-dependent emissivity. Such materials include Welsbach materials and the
oxides of metals which have high emissivity (and thus low reflectivities) in the visible
and 8-12 micron infrared wavelength regions.

WARMING

1 Corinthians 15:24 says Then the end will come when he hands over the kingdom to
God the Father AFTER HE HAS DESTROYED ALL DOMINION, AUTHORITY, &
POWER.
1 Corinthians 15:56 says The sting of death is sin. THE POWER OF SIN IS THE
LAW.
Ephesians 6:12 says Our struggle is AGAINST THE RULERS, THE AUTHORITIES,
THE POWERS OF THIS DARK WORLD.
FINANCIAL SYSTEM. I would never agree with the terrorist murderers who have
murdered innocent civilians, innocent women, babies, children, old folks, and good men
like the Firemen and Police Officers who lost their lives in 2001 trying to save lives.
I believe in the SALVATION of people and not the damnation. As much as I
disagree with the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds and their SYSTEM; as much as I
could PIN THE TAIL ON THE ANTI-CHRIST, I could never imagine trying to kill them,
murder them, or injure their families for any kind of agenda.
The World Trade Center towers were just buildings. It is the people within the
buildings who were innocent civilians murdered because of a terrorist agenda to hurt
Americans and the world with an attempt to bring down our financial system. Although I
would agree with a radical reformation of TRADE and the ELIMINATION OF BANKS,
I would not agree with any terrorist policies of murdering innocent civilians.
I supported the war efforts after the terrorist attacks of 2001. Islamic terrorists
deserved to go down in Afghanistan and Iraq. I was glad Sadaam Hussein was captured
and that George Bush got to enjoy some of the victories of the war effort against Islamic
murderers.
But despite my support of the war against terrorist murderers who kill innocent
women, children, and people, this did not change my lack of patriotism towards THE
FINANCIAL SYSTEM which had corrupted America and all nations.
Today, everyone is governed and controlled by THE BANK. I call BANKING
POLICY COMMUNISTIC CAPITALISM.
I am not going to incite that terrorism, violence and blowing up banks is the
answer. Killing Islamic fundamentalists in our global warfare is a necessary evil. We
need to get rid of these Islamic radicals who kill in the Name of a false prophet and a
false god and this is something that needs to get done for a better world peace.
It is in this context that I supported the War against Afghanistan and Iraq.
I supported every troop with love and prayer who rounded up Islamic terrorists
and either sent them to their Allah or put them into prison. I was completely overjoyed
when President Bush made a decision as Commander-in-Chief to bring Sadaam Hussein
to International Trial before his own people. I think that Islamic terrorists who blow up
women, babies, children, weddings, buses, hotels, and innocent people ought to be
rounded up and be treated as they treated others. War is necessary against such wicked
and perverse men who would murder innocent people.
I think most terrorists are really stupid.
Bombing the World Trade Center was a stupid thing to do.
Using a whole airplane of people to bomb the Pentagon was a stupid and careless
thing to do and accomplished nothing.
If terrorists were smart they would educate themselves on how the wealthy
became wealthy and go after the DISHONEST WEALTHY MEN who grew rich through
GREED, MURDER, DECEPTION, LYING, CHEATING, & STEALING.
If you want to accomplish a goal you have to after the KING PIN, the actual
mastermind snake behind the plots. The United States Leaders played a smart move in
going after the ring leaders of terrorism. We got Sadaam Hussein! We caught many
terrorist leaders. Not capturing Osama was a huge disappointment from 2001 2005, but
many great warriors who fought for the United States of America and the freedom of
Iraqis and Afghans kept the world a safer place by removing Islamic terrorists from the
world and sending them to their Satanic Allah. I completely applaud the leaders who
brought down the terrorists who murdered innocent people.
As you just read, the ROCKEFELLERS were also terrorists and terrorized the
world. Has anyone killed the Rockefellers? No. As much as I hate the System that the
Rockefellers built, I could never dream of murdering them or killing them as an act of
war. Even if the anti-Christ himself stepped out of the Rockefeller family, I could not
take his life into my own hands. Now if I could pin the tail on the Anti-Christ within the
Rockefeller family or the Rothschild family, could I form an army and go after him? If I
were smart and believed that the devil was hiding inside of a wealthy family, then I
would go after that family and destroy them.
The terrorists are actually dumb enough not to destroy the great Satans of
America and Europe. The great Satans of European and American Banking still run and
organize the banks. People are still slaves of the capitalist system. The organizations that
they built still exist. NOTHING HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH
TERRORISM AND THE MURDER OF INNOCENT CIVILIANS!
Even if you killed off the Rockefellers one by one, another Rockefeller will rise
up under a different name. If you killed off the Rothschilds, another Rothschild would
arise under a different name.
The Beast out of the Sea is going to be killed with the sword and it is the beast out
of the earth who will cause the whole world to worship the image of the beast out of the
sea. It appears that an attempt to kill the anti-Christ will be successful, but only for a
short time, because there are two anti-Christs mentioned: THE BEAST OUT OF THE
SEA and the BEAST OUT OF THE EARTH (Revelation 13).
Jesus is going to destroy the beast out of the earth by the splendor of His Second
Coming and the tribulation of the 7 trumpets and 7 bowls come from Gods Wrath. The
devil is going to be thrown into the lake of fire. So we learn that any human attempts to
kill off the anti-Christ or his network is doomed to failure. Prophecy highlights that he is
going to rule the world until God puts a stop to His Rule by treating the Anti-Christ and
His Network as He treated Pharoah and his army when they enslaved the Israelites.
So as Christians, we cannot wage war against the Rockefellers.
The only way to destroy their pyramids would be through eliminating banks by
peaceful protests. The banks will have to be shut down in order to free the human race.
Would blowing up one bank solve our slavery issues? No.
Blowing up a bank is not the answer.
If we kill off the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds, would that do any good?
Probably not. If we could pin the tail on the Anti-Christ as being a Rockefeller or
a Rothschild, he would be wounded by the sword and yet live, because the beast out of
the earth will revive his image and cause him to speak and cause everyone who refuses to
worship him to be killed. Satans Anti-Christ Network will be the last days mafia.
The PLAYBOY FOUNDATION and the ACLU are both still functioning and
arent going away.
The UNITED NATIONS will never be destroyed.
The government of the UNITED STATES will never be destroyed (as there is a
backup underground leadership to replace the Senate and House of Reps should our
current one be wiped out.
So if you decide that you want to form a group or an army to stand up and oppose
the anti-Christ pyramid, know that you are destined to loose the war. Prophecy declares
that fact.
I by no means support terrorism, violence, or murder as a solution against the
anti-Christ Network. This is something that will require Gods Wrath and not human
justice. God has not called the last days saints to wage war against the anti-Christ and
you could probably kill a Rockefeller or a Rothschild only to find out that the anti-Christ
was an Italian ruling from the Masonic Lodge in Italy. If you actually meet the devil and
knew it was the devil standing before you, you could try to kill the body he is inhabiting,
but he will only jump into another body.
The Beast out of the Sea will be targeted and slain, but another ruler will come
and cause everyone to worship the beast who was slain by the sword and yet lived.
We need to somehow fight against COMMUNISTIC CAPITALISM in a way that
doesnt murder and take human life. We have the American Right and Freedom to speak
out against the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, and all their banking affiliates. We can
choose to rebel against THE SYSTEM that they created. Since they are the current
Caesars of the world, we dont have to respect them, like them, or even think they are
brilliant.
For all we know, the Rockefellers and Rothschilds, once you actually know their
real motives, might have had pure motives from their hearts. However, their faith in their
man-made system should be opposed, as their system is unfair.
More than 2 billion people in the world live on less than $2.00 a day. When you
are not financially successful, your personal war is against THE BANK. THE BANK
killed the souls of all my relatives. THE BANK killed my parents. THE BANK has
always been a continual nuisance to me. It is THE BANK that has created my misery. It
is the policies of BANKING that has manipulated and controlled the world, from College
to career, from student loans to mortgages to credit cards.
In todays churches, especially in CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN circles, they
teach you to SUBMIT TO THE GOVERNING AUTHORITIES to fulfill Romans 13:1
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority
except that which God has established.
Most conservative Christians will preach to you to submit to the authority of your
local pastor, your SPIRITUAL LEADERS, your bosses at work, your government
officials. Most Churches are ignorant of the BANKING SYSTEM and how the BANK
came to enslave everyone. Why? Because they must go to the BANK to keep their own
doors open. They must rely on YOUR BANK ACCOUNT for donations. The
CHURCHES have also become slaves to the ROCKEFELLER MIND of SUCCESS and
SELF-ESTEEM.
However, we must decide, once and for all, how to distinguish an AUTHORITY
that comes from the Holy God of Israel and an authority that does not come from the God
of Israel. In the case of military service, you have no rights to your personal opinions or
rebellions against superior officers. You will be charged and punished with
insubordination for refusing to obey a direct order from a superior officer who issues you
a command to get a job done. Today, if you rebel against the BANK you will end up
poor, homeless and kicked around by the militant POLICE who have orders to restrict
your freedoms wherever you go to lay your head down.
Although Jesus Christ is our ONE AND ONLY AUTHORITY who will
DESTROY ALL AUTHORITY in this world by His Second Coming and it is only to
Him to Whom we must account, sometimes we must have to tolerate abusive people IN
AUTHORITY who abuse their own authority as granted to them by the church state.
We do have personal rights to defend ourselves against abuses which violate our
personal beliefs, convictions, and faiths. The greatest Gift that our Creator gave to
Americans is THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE. We can CHOOSE the narrow path that
leads to Eternal Life or we can take the wide road that the Rockefellers paved which
leads to eternal death and hell.
If someone asks us to do something that is out of harmony with the Gospel, and
they can be the most conservative Christian you ever met, we are to resist and rebel
against them, exercising our God-given rights to NOT OBEY THEIR authority. When
someone sits themselves up on Gods Throne as an AUTHORITY to speak on behalf of
Jesus, then they have an anti-Christ spirit that must be opposed and rejected.
If authority is not delegated properly, we have a right to protest with our
grievances against the improper handling of human authority. When Israel asked God for
a king like the other nations had, they insulted God and so he gave them what they
wanted: a human king. Look at what happened to all of those human kings and
eventually the whole nation of Israel! Will it be any different when people ask for a King
in the place of Jesus; when Churches teach you that you should be held accountable to a
Pastor; that you should go to a Counselor; that you should submit to the President of the
United States or your local corporation. Should you submit to mans authority or Gods
Authority?
In the military, we must use lawyers and duke it out with superior officers in a
court of law and most of the time we will loose because usually what a superior officer
commands is GOLD no matter what verbally abusive approach they have used to
intimidate and harass you into compliance towards an ungodly command. In corporate
America, man sets up either men or women as SUPERVISORS, BOSSES, MANAGERS,
and various other names for ranks. Who is your CEO and how are they treating you
today? Humble authorities never wave their badge in front of their sub-ordinates, but
merely use the voice of their command to get business done. Please do this and
Please do that, is all that AUTHORITY is supposed to command. When a request or a
command is delegated to us, we must obey them to get the job done and it is exclusively
in this case that human authority can be respected and obeyed, since such authority
comes from God. However, when a person shouts at you, is rude to you, is mean to you,
threatens you, intimidates you, and always dangles your job while flashing the badge of
their AUTHORITY in your face, you have rights to either challenge them or find another
job where you can delete that persons angry face from your life.
Most bosses in corporate America tend to be angry and take their anger out on the
people at the low end of their stiff-necked totem pole.
IN THE REAL AMERICA, IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, no such abuses can
be or should be tolerated. We are simply free to disagree with anyone and everyone and
any form of verbal abuse or intimidation does not have to be tolerated.
I noticed many corporate abuses in working in corporate America and most of the
time, poor people are too poor to sue for discrimination or unfair layoff practices.
OF MAN does not come from God through self-magnification, which is what the whole
College and Career system is based upon PRIDE IN SELF-ACHIEVEMENT.
You can now be any religion, other than a Jesus Freak, for if you are a Jesus Freak, then
surely OUR CAPITALIST AGENDA HAS NO PLACE FOR YOU TO LAY YOUR
HEAD DOWN! Sorry, but we will only keep homeless shelters open for women who
have children and are willing to make slaves out of their children with the various
PROGRAMS that PROGRAM the poor for acceptance of the beasts economic plan for
the PRIDE of SELF.
Is poverty really a disease to be cured by THE SYSTEM? Or isnt poverty our Salvation,
spiritually speaking? If Jesus said, YOU CANT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MONEY,
then why are we serving MONEY? Is that not the goal of a College Education? To
by the world and Im really not interested in looking back to Egypt for food and water
when God has given the Promised Land of milk and honey to me mainly the Paradise
of Heaven. This world is truly a miserable place and people are ultimately miserable and
the CHIEF CAUSE OF OUR MISERY is the FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
Now for those who worked hard and are SUCCESSFUL in terms of MONEY,
none of this makes any sense for THE WHOLE WORLD IS BEAUTIFUL AND
THERES A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD TOMORROW! For those of us who arent
financially successful, the world sucks and so do the people who run it.
Would I ever dream of committing an act of terrorism or violence against the
Rockefeller Family or the Rothschilds? What if I actually met the Anti-Christ himself?
Would I try to kill him? The answer is no way!
Jesus is their Judge and He is my Savior and since I am perhaps as sinful as all
these wretches, I would have no right to take Gods Laws into my own hands and judge
them. It will be by the splendor of Christs Second Coming that they will be destroyed,
so I have no reasons left for world conquest or the elimination of the devil and his
advocates. As to my survival, I can die the death of the martyrs who gave up their lives
for Jesus and said NO! to the devils commands.
Who could wage war against the Rockefellers? No one. No one could buy or sell
without accepting their policies. No one will be able to buy or sell without accepting
IMPERIAL CAPITALISM which will one day be integrated into our identities through
the bio-chip implants. First we will be conditioned through SMART CARDS which will
have a chip inside the card, without which we cannot buy or sell and when that proves to
fail, the next step will be an implant in our hands and foreheads.
