The Rockefeller global oil and banking empire has been the subject of much
critical commentary on the Internet. However, the Rockefeller Octopus’s
tentacles into every facet of America’s banking, oil (through their control of
Standard Oil), military, educational, and foreign policy apparatus was exposed
in a monograph prepared by the Soviet Union in 1959. An English translation of
the Soviet article prepared by the Central Intelligence Agency’s Foreign
Documents Division and dated December 16, 1959, was uncovered from the CIA’s
archives. The paper is titled: “About Those Who Are Against Peace.”
The arguments in the Soviet paper generally concur with President Dwight
Eisenhower’s Farewell Address to the American people shortly before the
inauguration of President Kennedy in January 1961. In his speech, Eisenhower
warned the American people about the dangers posed to America’s democracy by the
“military-industrial complex.”
There is nothing in the Soviet paper that rings false about the Rockefellers…
The oligarchic family has exercised control over America’s foreign policy
through their part-sponsorship of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral
Commission, and Bilderberg Group – all three shadowy organizations of the
world’s elite class who determine monetary, foreign, and military policies
behind closed doors. Rockefeller funding of Columbia University and the
University of Chicago have helped inflict on the United States some of the most
brazen neo-conservatives serving inside and outside of government.
The paper states “In 1957, the Rockefeller oligarchy of American oil
industrialists controlled a capital of 61.4 billion dollars. The precise size of
the Rockefeller fortune is a state secret in America: the American press noted
at one time that special measures are taken so that data concerning the largest
fortunes of the U.S. are not published.”
Fifty-three years later, the fortunes of America’s elite are still secret as can
be seen with the secrecy surrounding Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney’s taxes and his offshore financial holdings in such locations as the
Cayman Islands, Switzerland, Bermuda, and, according to some reports, the
British Virgin Islands.
But the Rockefellers wrote the book on hiding their immense fortune in corporate
contrivances and secret bank accounts, an easy task considering they own Chase
Manhattan Bank, which is now known as J P Morgan Chase.
The Soviet article also exposed the Rockefellers’ much-ballyhooed “philanthropy”
and “work ethic.” The article revealed: “The Rockefellers do not buy yachts
worth many millions, like the Vanderbilt magnates; they do not install doorknobs
and water fountains of pure gold in their palaces. But love for luxury is not
alien to them. The play house where the children of the Rockefellers frolic cost
a half million dollars. Bourgeois newspapers, willingly ‘forgetting’ about such
‘trifles,’ relate with tears of sympathy how the children of the billionaires
earn pocket money by raising rabbits, cleaning boots, and even destroying flies
at ten cents per hundred.”
Today, the successors of the same “bourgeois” media of 1959 prattle on about how
Mitt and Ann Romney had it so “tough” after graduating from college. CNN’s
Anderson Cooper, the son of billionaire heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, goes on about
how tough it was for him to break into the news media, as if his mother had
nothing to do with his rapid ascension in the corporate media.
The Soviet paper paints a picture of the Rockefellers that is similar to today’s
Romney family: “The people want to know the truth. And the truth about the
wealth of the Rockefellers consists of dark deeds, thousands of ruined families,
hundreds of thousands of workers in many countries of the world tormented by
work beyond their strength. The truth is the concealed history of many wars – it
is oil stained with blood.” Of course, today the same can be said about the
Rockefeller-linked Bush family, as well as Dick Cheney, George Soros, Rupert
Murdoch, and the Rothschild family.
The article identifies the Rockefeller clan members in 1959: “John D.
Rockefeller II does not direct his wide empire alone. He has five sons – John D.
III, Laurance, David, Winthrop, and Nelson. They are all large capitalists. Each
has his role, his department. Only Winthrop has not become famous for anything,
unless one counts a scandalous divorce.” In fact, Winthrop became famous later
when he was elected governor of Arkansas in 1966. His brother Nelson had served
as Governor of New York since 1959.
David is the only survivor among John D. II’s sons and he has been a major
player in secret organizations like the Bilderbergs and Trilateralists. David
Rockefeller’s off demeanor is described in the Soviet article: “The bourgeois
press advertises him as the owner of the best collection of insects in the
world, and as possessing extremely gentlemanly manners. But when he enters the
office of the bank [Chase Manhattan] and the steel doors close behind his back,
the lover of butterflies turns into a greedy seeker after dollars. The hired
biographers have every basis for calling him ‘the personification of the virtues
of Wall Street.’”
Nelson Rockefeller, who, in 1975, would have become President of the United
States had two attempted assassins’ bullets hit their target – President Gerald
Ford – is recognized in the Soviet article for his scheming in Latin America,
scheming that was supplemented by Richard Nixon and Ford Secretary of State and
Rockefeller consigliore Henry Kissinger. The article states: “The Rockefellers
have long nourished an irresistible attraction for the countries in Latin
America: the provocatory smell of oil reaches them from the South American
continent. Therefore, Nelson Rockefeller, who had long been trying to turn South
America into his family estate, was at one time placed at the head of the
so-called “Bureau of Inter-American Affairs.”
The article quotes the left-wing newspaper the Daily Compass, which
once published the muckraking columns of investigative journalist I. F. Stone,
in describing the Rockefellers’ stranglehold over the U.S. State Department:
“The policy of the State Department is born in the offices of Standard Oil. From
there it is transmitted to the Department of Defense, where the heads of the
Army and Navy approve it. When this policy gets to the State Department, it
becomes the policy of the government and is supposed to be confirmed by Congress
quickly and without any changes whatever. When an order for laws designed to
protect the interests of the oil kings comes from the Rockefeller dynasty
itself, the entire Congress – from the small to the great – comes to ‘attention’
and does what the bosses order it to do.”
Considering the recent U.S. and NATO intervention in Libya and Syria, countries
where oil is key, little has changed in how U.S. foreign and war policy is
manufactured.
The Rockefellers ties to the CIA and Israel’s Mossad are also laid out in the
Soviet monograph. The article reveals that the Rockefellers supplied a U.S.
intelligence “cut out” – the School of Eastern Studies in Jerusalem – with money
from the Arabian-American oil company (ARAMCO). The school, which operated with
the full knowledge of the Mossad, trained American officers to conduct espionage
throughout the Middle East.
There was a time when the U.S. government and the corporate (bourgeois) press
dismissed such articles as the Soviet monograph on the Rockefellers as pure
propaganda. In retrospect, the Soviet authors of the article understood in 1959
what many Americans have come late to fathoming: that the United States is being
destroyed by a mega-wealthy elite intent on preying on the United States like a
swarm of locusts.
