"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will
accept the New World Order. We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time
Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their
promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for
the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now
more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty
of an intellectual elite and world Bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination
practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller , Baden-Baden, Germany 1991.
Speaking at the Sept. 23, 1994 United Nations Ambassadors' dinner, David Rockefeller remarked, "This
present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be
built, will not be open for too long." [Timeline]
The House of Rockefeller is, first and foremost, THE Invisible Government of the Unites States. Invisible
Government is described as "predatory capital controlling the wheels of government behind a smoke
screen." (Bealle, The House of Rockefeller, p. 69).
Let me remind you of the game plan that the Trilateral Commission founded by David Rockefeller (and
first headed by Zbignew Brezinski) declared in its 1975 "Report on the Governability of Democracies":
"We have come to recognize that there are potentially desirable limits to economic growth. There are also
potentially desirable limits to the indefinite extension of political democracy...A government which lacks
authority ...will have little ability, short of cataclysmic crisis, to impose on its people the sacrifices which
may be necessary." The current Senator Rockefeller has advocated openly the use of torture on captives.
"The interests behind the Bush Administration, such as the CFR, The Trilateral Commission - founded
by Zbigniew Brezinski for David Rockefeller - and the Bilderbergers Group, have prepared for and are
now moving to implement open world dictatorship within the next five years. They are not fighting
against terrorists. They are fighting against citizens." -- Dr. Johannes B. Koeppl, Ph.D., former German
defense ministry official and advisor to former NATO Secretary General Manfred Werner.
"Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws." Owner of The Central
Bank of Germany 1838 Amshall Rothschild and head of the Illuminatis (originally Bauers from
Germany) and cousin of the Rockefeller (originally Roggenfelders from Germany) family, Frankfurt. Les us
see the roles the Rockefeller/Rothschild cousins play in the ownership of the Federal Reserve Bank of the
US as well: Peter Kershaw in "Economic Solutions" and Larry Burkett in “The Coming Economic
Earthquake” have named the private owners of the United States Federal Reserve system established in
1913 (under Benjamin Strong, the Reserve System was brought into interlocking relations with the Bank
of England and the Bank of France and Reserve Governors and the heads of European central banks
brought on the Great Depression of 1929-31) as: 1) The Rockefeller Family - New York 2) The Rothschild
Family - London 3) The Rothschild Family - Berlin 4) The Lazard Brothers - Paris 5) Israel Seiff - Italy
6) Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany 7) The Warburgs - Amsterdam Representative of the Rothschild
Family in France 8) The Warburgs - Hamburg Representative of the Rothschild Family in Germany 9)
Lehman Brothers - New York 10) Goldman & Sachs - New York. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
which controls the 11 other Federal Reserve branches, is majority controlled by a) Chase-Manhattan (a
Rockefeller stronghold) - 6,389,445 shares - 32.3% b) Citibank - 4,051,851 shares - 20.5%.
The ‘private’ central banking systems like the United States’ Federal Reserve, The Bank of
England, and The Bundesbank, even the Bank of Sudan, have been described by me on several
occasions as ‘The Satanic Purses’, a view now shared by many.
Congressman Charles A. Lindberg Snr., father of the famous aviator, says Garry Allen, was
strongly opposed to setting up the Fed. He said that in order to support the fiction that the
Federal Reserve Act was a “Peoples Bill,” the ‘Insider Financiers’ put up a smoke screen of
opposition to it...Taking advantage of Congress’ desire to adjourn for Christmas, the Federal
Reserve Act was passed on December 22nd, 1913, by a vote of 298 to 60 in the House, and in
the Senate by a majority of 43 to 25. After the vote, Congressman Lindberg told Congress:
“This act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth... When the President signs this act, the
invisible government by the money power, proven to exist by the ‘Money Trust Investigation’
will be legalized... The new law will create inflation whenever the trust wants inflation.” [and
vise versa]
Lindberg adds: “ The Federal Reserve Act was, and still is, hailed as a victory of Democracy
over ‘The Money Trust’ Nothing could be further from the truth. The whole ‘Central Bank’
concept was engineered by the very group it was supposed to strip of power.” [ibid, page 161]
These are just some of the fruits of this same occult organization re-started by Kolmer and
Adam Weishaupt in 1776. John D. Rockefeller, infected with its spirit said: “Competition is a
Sin”. [ibid, page 19/21]
While ‘Annuit Coeptis’ means ‘Favour our daring undertaking’, the lower part of ‘The Great seal
of The United States of America’ bears the inscription ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’, meaning ‘The
New Order Of Ages / The New World Order’.
Garry Allen says that the world has been set up for another 1929 style Crash and Depression. “
To think that the crash of 1929 was an accident or result of stupidity defies all logic. The
international Bankers who promoted the inflationary policies, and pushed the propaganda
which pumped up the stock market, represented too many generations of accumulated
expertise to have blundered into the great depression.” [ibid, page 163]
As Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee
tells us:- “It [the 1926 depression] was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived
occurrence...The International Bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here, so
that they might emerge as rulers of us all.” [ibid]
“It was the old game of boom and bust, using economic crisis to consolidate political power at
the top where it can be most easily controlled.” [ibid]
In 1913 America’s National debt stood at $1 billion dollars. Since Woodrow Wilson took his
vote of office, the National Debt has sky rocketed. By 1976 it had exceeded $500,000,000,000.
The interest alone was $27 billion.
By 1992 the US Debt reached $3 trillion (in 2003, the combined Federal and State debt owed to
the private Federal Reserve Bank of Rockefeller /Rothschild is $15 Trillion, i.e. $50 thousand
for each US citizen). Texas Billionaire H. Ross Perrot says that if you put $3 Trillion in dollar
notes on a stack, it would stand 63 miles high. Interest alone takes 52 cents from every tax
dollar collected, and soon it will take 102 cents in every dollar. Nobody wants to reveal,
however, to whom all these monies and interest are owed, and how the stack got to be so high.
“The major cause of inflation and the economic collapse was the deliberately created credit
inflation by the ‘privately-owned’ Federal Reserve.” [Equally deliberately used here by Nigel
Lawson and the still privately owned and privately controlled Bank of England]
“In six years it had inflated the money supply by 62% inducing market speculations and
unwise investments by middle Americans who were being set up for a shearing. When the
shearing came, the sheep took a realistic look at their economy and panicked. Optimism was
replaced by economic despair; despair produced a willingness to accept a major expansion of
government controls over the economy.”
“Now, the Rockefellers are sharpening their shears to give the sheep of the world another
trimming. But this time may be the last time. In 1929, America was a long way from total
government. The next depression will be used as the excuse for complete Socialist-Fascist
controls at home and the creation of a World Super State internationally.” [ibid, page 163]
“Years ago”, says Allen, “Nelson Rockefeller reportedly demanded and received, the privilege
of naming his men to top administrative posts on all important Republican committees. The
effect on the Republican Party is all too clear. It has been reliably estimated that over the years
the Rockefellers have placed at least five thousand persons in important positions at the
highest level of the Federal Government. The Rockefeller influence and authority now runs the
top Civil Service bureaucracy, thereby transcending the administrations of mere republicans
and Democrats. Having a big stake in an internationalist foreign policy, the Rockefellers always
make sure that the Secretary of State and the Director of the (CIA) Central Intelligence Agency
are ” Their boys". Marshall, Acheson, Dulles, Herter, Rusk, and Kissinger [at the time of writing
in 1976] have all laboured to turn the backward Soviet Union into a creditable power to force
the great merger, while at the same time fighting wars to make the world safe for Standard Oil.
The C.I.A. has served as the State Department’s and Standard Oil’s enforcement arm,
destroying genuine anti-communist movements around the world...The CIA was created and
staffed by Rockefeller relative Allen Dulles."
“American foreign policy has meant billions of dollars for the Rockefellers. It has been paid for
in many cases by the blood of our soldiers and in every case by the sweat of our taxpayers.”
“In his ‘Reminiscences’ John D. Rockefeller informs us: ‘One of our greatest helpers has been
the State Department in Washington. Our ambassadors, ministers and consuls have aided to
push our way into new markets to the utmost corners of the world.’”
“Washington reporter Jack Anderson put it this way in 1967: ‘...the State Department has often
taken its policies right out of the executive offices of the oil companies. When Big Oil can’t get
what it wants in foreign countries, the State Department tries to get it for them. In many
countries, the American Embassies function virtually as branch offices of the Oil Combine...The
State Department can be found almost always on the side of the ‘Seven Sisters’, as the oil
giants are known... Just as the Rockefellers make sure they are running our perennially
disastrous foreign policy, you can bet your last devalued dollar that the Rockefeller Mafia
controls the national and international money game. The Rockefellers have made the (US)
Treasury Department virtually a branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank.’" [The Rockefeller File,
page 159] Now that’s what I call Chutzpah! The Cheek of the Devil. The result of Illuminism
and its Luciferian doctrine.
But even more astonishing is the fact that these darlings of the Zionist/Freemason
establishment control all the oil in Arab lands. “The family controls oil holdings worth
hundreds of millions in Arab lands, yet Nelson has remained the darling of organised Zionism in
New York City. Without such support he could never have been elected governor of New York
State four times. Just how the family manages this bit of wizardry boggles the mind...”
The Rockefellers and Rothschild also own the Medical profession, Encyclopedia Britannica, and voting
machine software companies. Let’s visit some of the history behind the Rockefeller Empire.

"At the lower end of the greatest thoroughfare in the greatest city of the
New World is a huge structure of plain gray stone. Solid as a prison,
towering as a steeple, its cold and forbidding façade seems to rebuke the
heedless levity of the passing crowds, and frown on the frivolity of the
stray sunbeams which in the late afternoon play around its impressive
cornices. Men point to its stern portals, glance quickly up at the rows of
unwinking windows, nudge each other, and hurry onward, as the
Spaniards used to do when going by the offices of the Inquisition. The
building is No. 26 Broadway"(Lawson, Frenzied Finance, p. 5).

The oil industry started in Pennsylvania in 1859 -- we have reached Peak World OIL Production
NOW!!
John D. Rockefeller was born in Richford, New York on July 8, 1839 and died on May 23, 1937.
His father, “Doc” William Rockefeller, was a quack doctor, bigamist, rapist and horse thief....When
the Civil War broke out he was 22 years old and lived in Cleveland, Ohio. He refused to enlist and
serve his country but during the war he made a fortune selling Harkness whiskey to the soldiers.
The first U.S. oil discovery was in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, by Colonel Edwin L. Drake in
the year 1859. Subsequently , oil was discovered in Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas,
Colorado, Montana, California and the last great find was in Alaska. The industry grew rapidly
until by 1900 it was one of the largest in the country. The invention of the automobile with the
gasoline engine made oil the one indispensable commodity.
In 1870, the Standard Oil Company was incorporated in Ohio by John D. Rockefeller. It was illegal
under Ohio law (and almost every other State) to control a company in another State. Rockefeller
managed to secretly buy up and control the independent oil producers and refiners.
In 1883, he moved the seat of empire to the Empire State and set up headquarters in the Metropolis
of Mammon at 26 Broadway in New York City. There he set up a TRUST or HOLDING company
and began to ruthlessly devour all the independent oil producers and refiners both nationally and
internationally.
By 1890 he owned all the independent oil refiners in the country and had a monopoly on worldwide
oil sales with the help of the Vatican owned Rothschild bank.
By 1900 he was a billionaire – the first in the country. His interest in “medicine” came from his
father, so he established the Rockefeller Foundation to take over all the medical schools in the
country and soon Rockefeller trained “doctors” started the sometimes deadly practice of
vaccination. At the same time, the Rockefeller General “Education” Board took over all the schools
and colleges in the U.S.
In 1900, the Rockefeller owned University of Chicago bought the Encyclopedia Britannica from
the Scottish publishers and all the true history of the Vatican and the Inquisition was censored along
with all derogatory references to problems certain vaccinations can cause.
In 1911, the Supreme Court ruled that the Standard Oil Trust was a menace to the Republic and
ordered it to be broken up. The Trust was broken into 37 different companies but the Rockefeller
Syndicate secretly retained control of them all....Rockefeller vowed revenge against the U.S. and
used his vast fortune to BUY the U.S. government!!
After the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, Nelson Rockefeller rammed through the 25th
Amendment to the Constitution in with the hope to steal the U.S. Presidency without an election in
the future!!
The Twin Towers (Masonic symbols of the Jachin and Boaz Pillars) in New York City were built by
the Rockefeller brothers David and Nelson. After their demolition on 9-11-01, the Rockefeller
Syndicate controlled Pentagon was ordered to take control of the world’s last remaining oil reserves
in the Caspian Sea, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. To control the U.S. and world economy has been the
devilish dream of Rome and the Rockefeller dynasty since the fall of the Papal States in 1870!!
When the Jesuits Orders were expelled from every Catholic country in Europe, their only refuge was
Russia, Great Britain and the United States. Thousands of them flocked to this country to carry on
their war against the Reformation under the banner of American tolerance and freedom of religion
for all. Among them were the Morgans, Roosevelts and German Roggenfelders. Roggenfelder was later
changed to Rockefeller to make the name sound less German and more American!!

Roggenfelder Mill in Arinheller, Germany,
operated by Johann Roggenfelder. Johann
was the great-grandfather of Rockefeller and
he came to America in 1722.
John D. Rockefeller's birthplace at Richford, New
York, about 150 miles from New York City.
By this time the horrible 30 Years' War in Germany was over but the Jesuits were not about to give up.
Their next attack would be from within and would be aimed at political and financial penetration in
order to destroy the freedom-loving nations who had escaped Rome's grasp. The Rothschild Bank
(founded 1742), which worked so closely with the Rockefellers in later years, was part of this
conspiracy.
Rockefeller was 22 when the Civil War began. He refused to fight for the Union.
Rockefeller was 22 and already wealthy when the Civil War began. He refused to enlist when
President Lincoln asked for 75,000 volunteers. Like J. P. Morgan and the father of Teddy Roosevelt, he
paid for a substitute to fight for him. He even refused his younger brother the measly sum of $75.00
to meet enlistment expenses. The Rothschild controlled National City Bank of Cleveland gave him his
first loan.
Rockefeller billions began with BOOZE!!
Rockefeller had a partner by the name of William M. Flagler. Flagler married the niece of a man
named Stephen V. Harkness. Harkness owned a WHISKEY DISTILLERY. Rockefeller made a fortune
by selling WHISKEY to the Union army:
"Rockefeller had been watching Flagler, his neighbor in the Case Block. He had shrewdly appraised
the talents of that gentleman. But he had also perceived something else. Flagler had married the niece
of a man who had lately made a great fortune. This man was Stephen V. Harkness. Harkness owned a
distillery near Monroeville, Ohio. Toward the end of the war when the government was raking the
land with a fine-tooth comb for values to tax, it fell naturally upon whiskey. John Sherman knew the
government was going to put a heavy excise upon whiskey and he mentioned the fact to his friend, S.
V. Harkness. Harkness needed nothing more than this tip. He proceeded to buy up with all the funds
he could collect every barrel of whiskey he could lay hold of. When the tax was levied, Harkness
found himself with an enormous amount of untaxed whiskeys which he could sell at the high prices
exacted because of the tax. He promptly turned his investment into cash. This provided him with one
of the amplest fortunes in Cleveland. Rockefeller knew of this adventure. And here was Flagler,
Harkness' nephew by marriage, at Rockefeller's very door. Here was an entree to Harkness' treasure
chest" (God's Gold, p, 134).
Rockefellers control U.S. oil industry.
The first giant trusts or monopolies were formed by the Morgans and Rockefellers. The Rockefellers
set about to create a huge oil monopoly which would completely dominate the industry. The
invention of the automobile and the gasoline engine gave them a virtual stranglehold on the country.
Instead of conserving oil and finding an alternative to the wasteful gasoline engine they encouraged
waste and consumption of a non-renewable resource.
"As a member of the board of directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad, William
Rockefeller had long ago struck up a warm friendship with James Stillman, the president of the
National City Bank. The latter, stirred at all he learned of the efficiency of the Standard Oil
management, and of its hierarchic and centralized government, so much like that of the
Roman Catholic Church, modeled his own bank after it. He bought Standard Oil stock and
became one of the family. Sphinx like and autocratic, he silently came closer to the Rockefellers whom
he so much resembled" (The Robber Barons, p. 399).
Rockefellers issue "U.S." Money!!
The U.S. government does NOT issue the U.S. "paper" money. The Federal Reserve Notes are issued
by the Rockefeller/Rothschild founded and controlled Federal Reserve Bank. It is a PRIVATE Bank
and is not part of the U.S. government. The Federal Reserve Bank has the power to create money out
of nothing and with access to unlimited credit has financed ALL the wars of the 20th century and will
finance the coming aggression against Iraq.
Former home of William Rockefeller on
Jekyll Island, Georgia, This was where Federal Reserve Note. This is Rockefeller "money" even
the 3rd Bank was secretly chartered though it says "United States of America."
leading to the greatest theft of the
people's money in all the long history of
crime. Read "The Creature of Jekyll
Island" by Dr. Edward Griffin to learn
more about the Rothschild/Rockefeller
owned Federal Reserve
Article I, Section 10, U.S. Constitution:
No State shall coin Money, emit Bills of
Credit, make any Thing but gold and silver Coin as Tender in Payment of Debts.
How the Rothschild/Rockefeller "Bank" of Rome Creates "Federal"
Reserve Dollars out of nothing!!
Albert Einstein said:
Thomas Jefferson said:
"Compound interest is the
eighth wonder of the
world"
"I believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous to our liberties
than standing armies."
Maier Amschel Rothschild said:
"Permit me to issue and control
the money of a nation and I care
not who writes its laws"
The Federal Reserve Bank only creates the
Principal - not the usury or interest that it lends to
the U.S. government. Therefore the usury can
NEVER be repaid and the end result is
foreclosure and bankruptcy.
In 1765, the Bank of England demanded that the
American Colonies pay taxes in British specie or
coins which the people did not possess. If they
had borrowed from the Bank of England to pay
the tax, the end result would have been the same:
foreclosure and bankruptcy with the Bank owning
everything!!
It's the same fatal bite of that old Serpent the
Devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world
(Rev. 12:9).
The "Federal" Reserve Bank loans the U.S.
government their own "money" at usury or
interest!!
No wonder that usury is called nashak or the bite
of a serpent in the Bible.
The power of compound interest or usury.
This graph is an example of ONE Rockefeller billion placed in the bank in 1900 at 6% usury and
compounded annually. At 6% interest the money doubles every 12 years. There is a rule called the
Rule of 72 for calculating usury rates. Divide the usury rate by 72 and the quotient will give you the
approximate number of years that it takes the money to double:
The rule of 72
Usury at 4% percent
72
=15 years
approx.
4
Usury at 6% percent
72
=12
years
approx.
6
Usury at 8% percent
72
=9 years
approx.
8
Divide the usury rate by 72 and that will give you the approximate number of years for the
money to double.
There is a more precise way to calculate usury using the computer calculator. Most computers have
calculators. The formula to calculate principal plus interest for one billion dollars is this:1.000.000
multiplied by 1.06 raised to the power or exponent of 96 equals 268.759.030 billion dollars!! You can
also cheat and go here!!
How the "Bank" of Rome creates Federal Reserve Notes out of
nothing!!
Step 1 in "money" creation
Step 2 in "money" creation
The "Bank" of Rome
The U.S. Congress
Fiat "money" creation begins when the "Bank"
of Rome decides that the U.S. is ready for
another bite from that old serpent the Devil.
They instruct their American branch —the
Federal Reserve Bank — to order Congress to
raise the debt limit by $1 billion.
Congress obeys the "Federal" Reserve Bank
and instructs the U.S. Treasury to print $1
billion interest bearing bonds and sell them to
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Step 3 in "money" creation
Step 4 in "money" creation
The U.S. Treasury
"Federal" Reserve Bank of New York
The U.S. Treasury prints the$1 billion interest
bearing bonds and sells them to the Federal
Reserve Bank!! As security or collateral they
offer the INCOME TAX collected from the
taxpayers. The U.S. Treasury prints only the
Principal . . . not the usury or interest.
The "Federal" Reserve or the Fed buys the
usury bearing bonds and credits the U.S.
Treasury for $1 billion. The government must
now pay back the bonds with INTEREST. As
the interest was not created, it can NEVER be
repaid with "Federal" Reserve Dollars!!
In a closed monetary system like the U.S., only "Federal" Reserve Notes are legal tender to pay back
the bonds. Gold and silver are REAL money and could be used to repay the debt but they are stored
in Switzerland and credited to the account of the "Bank" of Rome.
Since the Treasury only printed the PRINCIPAL —not the usury or interest —the money can NEVER
be repaid.... The end result is bankruptcy and foreclosure for the government. This is the very same
scam that the Bank of England tried to impose on the Colonies when they made specie or coin the
only means to repay the king's tax.
Here is another example of money creation by the Federal Reserve Bank. The diagram is from The
Truth in Money Book by Theadore R. Thoren and Richard F. Wagner. Thoren and Wagner were
experts n the Federal Reserve System and monetized debt creation. However they were not aware of
the Secrets of the "Bank" of Rome and the real identity of the moneychangers and their crusade to
destroy this country by debt and usury.
The American people have to pay usury on their own money. Not even the Mafia could have dreamed
up a more stupendous scam than this!!
THIS IS THE GREATEST SCAM IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE!!
Usury is the ONLY cause of inflation!!
Growth of usury on the Federal debt follows an
exponential curve e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc, etc.
Inflation robs a currency of its purchasing power until eventually it buy NOTHING. Before the fall of
the Roman Empire, the government debased the currency by clipping the coins and adding less and
less silver and gold. Inflation does the same thing to a paper currency as the paper becomes
worthless and people lose all faith in the fiat. Eventual collapse can be postponed by printing more
and more "money" but eventually the day of reckoning finally arrives.
Editor's Notes
Federal Reserve Founder John D., said:
"Among the early experiences that were helpful to me that I
recollect with pleasure was one in working a few days for a
neighbour in digging potatoes—a very enterprising, thrifty farmer,
who could dig a great many potatoes. I was a boy of perhaps
thirteen or fourteen years of age, and It kept me very busy from
morning until night. It was a ten-hour day. And as I was saving
these little sums I soon learned that I could get as much
interest for fifty dollars loaned at seven per cent. — the
legal rate in the state of New York at that time for a year
—as I could earn by digging potatoes for 100 days. The
impression was gaining ground with me that it was a good thing
to let the money be my slave and not make myself a slave to
money" (Ida Tarbell, History of the Standard Oil Co., p.41).
John D. Rockefeller (Mr. Usury) in 1872.
What a pity he didn't stay digging potatoes... The world would be a much better place today.
John D. Rockefeller was one the founders of the "Federal" Reserve Bank. He was a typical usurer.
Letting other people do the work and then reaping the benefits. It is a shame that the pious hypocrite
NEVER heard a sermon on usury when he attended the Euclid St. Baptist Church every Sunday.
Even though the "Federal" Reserve Bank has the name FEDERAL in its title, it has no connection
with the Federal Government except that it OWNS the government.... The President of the U.S. and
Secretary of the Treasury do not sit on its board!! The Chairman is appointed for a period of 14 years.
The President does appoint him but that is just a formality as the Fed can easily ruin an
uncooperative President by causing a recession or depression.

Rockefellers control U.S. "medical" profession.
Around the turn of the century, when the Order of the Jesuits force was hijacking the American
Government, the Rockefeller Institute also created a sinister monopoly of the American medical
profession. Its director was Simon Flexner a German Jew/Jesuit "doctor."
Here is a quote from one of their propagandists named Abraham Flexner who was part of the
Rockefeller Institute:
"...The curse of medical education is the excessive number of schools. The situation can improve only
as weaker and superfluous schools are extinguished." (Abraham Flexner 1910).
There you have it . . . . too many medical schools producing too many doctors. In those days, medical
students attended college for 2 years and then learned the healing arts from other doctors. To the
monopolists however, this great system did not allow for 8 years of brainwashing in Jesuit controlled
universities and colleges.
Rockefeller used the same tactics with the medical schools as he did with his business rivals: sell out
or be forced to close. From about 160 medical schools the number was reduced by half.
The Rockefeller Foundation refused to help find the cure for smallpox.
The multi-million dollar Rockefeller Foundation refused Dr. Campbell the measly sum of $12.000.00
to make a definitive study on smallpox. Yes! that's twelve thousand dollars!!
Rockefeller buys Encyclopedia Britannica!!
Yes! the Rockefeller Syndicate owns the venerable old Encyclopedia Britannica that so many people
consider the "final authority." In 1890, Rockefeller took over a Baptist Seminary called Morgan Park
Theological Seminary and renamed it the University of Chicago.
In 1900 the Encyclopedia was bought from the publishers in Scotland. The University of Cambridge
now did the editing for the new owners across the pond.
We don't know how much he paid as he always used proxies or front men . . . but you can be sure
that it was the lowest possible price.....Roman Catholic editors were soon put to work expunging all
derogatory references to Rome:
"The revision of the Encyclopedia Britannica was undertaken with a view to eliminate matter which
was objectionable from a Catholic point of view and to insert what was accurate and unbiased. The
whole of the 28 volumes were examined, objectionable parts noted, and the reasons for their deletion
or amendment given. There is every reason to hope that the new edition of the Britannica will be
found very much more accurate and impartial than its predecessors (Lies and Fallacies of the
Encyclopedia Britannica., p. 4)."
And they did exactly that....All the true history of the Papacy, the Jesuits, and the infernal Inquisition
were removed along with all derogatory references to vaccination.

On May 15, 1911, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the Standard Oil Cartel was a
menace to the Republic and ordered it to be broken up:
"For the safety of the Republic we (U.S. Supreme Court) now decree that the dangerous conspiracy
must be ended by Nov. 15, 1911 "(John D. A Portrait in Oils, p. 154).
Rockefeller vowed revenge against the U.S. and used his vast fortune to BUY the U.S. government.
The breakup of the Standard Oil monolith resulted in about 37 new companies. Rockefeller still
secretly controlled them all by owning a voting majority of stock in the new corporation. Thus
Standard Oil would be known as Standard Oil New Jersey (Exxon), Standard Oil New York (Mobil),
Standard Oil Indiana (Amoco), Standard Oil California (Chevron), Atlantic Refining (Arco) etc., etc. It
was business as usual at 26 Broadway -- the headquarters of the giant.
3 years later they ordered the Kaiser to invade Belgium and start W. W. I. Their plan was to keep
Germany and England fighting until the U. S. intervened. Herbert Hoover (another Standard Oil
employee) was put in charge of the Belgium Relief Commission.

Rockefeller the "Christian."
"Baptist" Rockefeller with bodyguard marching in the Easter parade in 1907.
Rockefeller had the perfect disguise. He pretended to be a devout Baptist "Christian" and attended
church regularly. He even led a Sunday school class in the Fifth Ave. Baptist church in New York City.
However, by the turn of the century he was also the most hated man in America. His "handlers"
recommended an image change. It was then that he started giving millions to charity. Now in the
Bible that Rockefeller read there is a verse that says:
"Therefore when thou doest thine arms (charity), do not sound a trumpet before thee, as
the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms,
let not thy
left hand know what they right hand is doing" (Matt. 5:2-3).
By owning all the newspapers in the country he was able to sound the trumpet loud and clear about
his charitable contributions. Rockefeller Junior even built a church in New York City called the
Riverside Church. It was there that Dr. Martin Luther King gave his famous anti-war speech!!
Rockefeller did not let his left hand know what his right hand was
doing!!
When Jesus told the people in His Sermon on the Mount not to let your left hand know what your
right is doing, He was talking about giving to charity or doing good deeds. Ultra secretive Rockefeller
took that verse and applied it to his business instead!!
A flyer that was distributed in the oil regions about the predatory
practices of the South Improvement Co.
The South Improvement Co. was the forerunner of the Standard Oil Company. Everybody
involved with the company was sworn to the strictest secrecy. Men were warned not even to
tell their wives of their activities. J. P. Morgan and the Rothschild Bank already owned the
railroads and they were giving illegal rebates to the S. I. Co. This had the effect of ruining the
independent refiners and forcing them to sell out at a tremendous loss or face financial ruin!
The South Improvement Company was the forerunner of Standard Oil. It was chartered in
Cleveland, Ohio, and was a front for the counter-Reformation Rothschild Bank. Its sphere of
activity was virtually limitless. (See History of the Standard Oil Co.,Vol. I, by Ida Tarbell, pages 56
and 75).
From Russia with Love -- GRAND Duke Alexander warns
Americans about the Rockefeller Empire!!
Last updated on Feb. 6, 2003
Grand Duke Alexander said this about America during a visit in 1913:
"As a matter of fact, there was one startling change which seemed to have escaped the attention of the
native observers. The building of the Panama Canal and the stupendous development of the Pacific
Coast had created a new form of American pioneering; their industries had grown to where a foreign
outlet had become a sheer necessity. Their financiers who used to borrow money in London, Paris,

order of things, and the bulk of the nation was still thinking in terms of the nineteenth century (Once
a Grand Duke, p. 242)."
Such is the extreme secrecy of the Rockefeller Syndicate, that almost a century later, most Americans
are still not aware that their country has been hijacked by Standard Oil....The Grand Duke did not
know -- or could not tell -- that his own country was also hijacked by the Rock Mob!!
Grand Duke Alexander was commander-inchief of the Russian Air Force during WW I.

Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovitch (1866-1934 ).
Grand Duke Alexander was born on April 1, 1866 in Tiflis (now Tbilisi), and died in 1934 in the
United States. He loved everything American and as a youth he longed to run away to the United
States. He despised the empty rituals of the Greek Orthodox "church" and wanted to remake his
country in the image of the U.S.A. He visited this country in 1893 and again in 1913. He moved to the
U.S. in 1928 and began a career as an author of several books on Russian history.
Emperor Alexander II of Russia (18181881).
Russian ship Osliaba arrived in Alexandria, Virginia, in
1863.
Grand Duke Alexander was the nephew of Emperor Alexander II. This was the Emperor that freed
the serfs in 1861. He sent the Russian navy to New York, Virginia and San Francisco in 1863 and their
presence was a warning to France and Great Britain to stay out of the conflict. In 1867, he sold Alaska
to the U.S. for the measly sum of $7.2 million dollars. For freeing the serfs and saving the American
Union, Emperor Alexander was killed by a Jesuit assassin in 1881.

In 1918, Czar Nicholas II and his entire family were assassinated by Jesuits disguised as Soviets or
Bolsheviks. Even though he was related to most of the crowned heads of Europe, none of them came to
his aid. One of these Rockefeller Bolsheviks was named Joseph Stalin who later became dictator of
Russia.
The Dowager-Empress Marie of Russia, in exile in Denmark in 1924.
Empress Marie was the widow of Emperor Alexander III and mother-in-law of Duke Alexander.
Emperor Nicholas was sent to Siberia and the rest of the Romanoffs were held captive by the
"Soviets" at Sebastopol. They confiscated Empress Marie's precious Bible because it was a counterrevolutionary book.
The Bible is an anti-revolutionary book according to the Bolsheviks
"They started back for Sebastopol at six in the afternoon, leaving the house in a state of complete
destruction and carrying away my personal correspondence and the Bible belonging to my motherin-law. The old Empress begged them not to deprive her of this precious souvenir of her youth,
proposing her jewels in exchange. “We are not thieves," said the chief, completely disgusted at the
"This is an anti-revolutionary book, and an old woman
like you should know better than poison her brains with such
trash." Ten years later, while in Copenhagen, my mother-in-received a package containing her

her hands (Once a Grand Duke, p. 303)."
Since the Glorious Reformation, the Czars of Russia have tried to enlighten their people by making
the Word of God available to all their subjects. Their main opposition came from the Greek Orthodox
"church" founded by Emperor Constantine.
Comrade Khrushchev meets the Rockefellers.
KHRUSHCHEV MEETS HIS ROCKEFELLER MASTER
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller visits Khrushchev's Quarters at the Waldorf Astoria Tower; and cordially and
comradely greets him. False headlines say that they met "for the first time" and "as total strangers".
Khrushchev boasts that he receives secret codes, money and all "secret" reports from Rockefeller
dominated CIA Quislings.
DAVID ROCKEFELLER, HIS BOSS, ACCEPTS KHRUSHCHEV'S URGENT
INVITATION TO VISIT HIM AT THE KREMLIN
David Rockefeller held a conference in Leningrad of his Bilderberger "Dartmouth group" to discuss
politics and stimulate Communist Russo-Chinese business for the branch of his Chase Manhattan
Bank he had opened six months earlier, in Hong Kong, for the specific purpose of trading with the
Communists. At the end of the two weeks conference, in mid August, 1964, Khrushchev phoned
Rockefeller and urgently requested him to come to Moscow and discuss his decisions at the Kremlin.
Rockefeller agreed to do so. He was entertained, with his daughter, Neva, at the Kremlin. But, shortly
thereafter, Khrushchev was "fired" because his controversy with Mao Tse Tung interfered with the
Soviet-Communist China trade from which Rockefellers sought to profit.
Rockefeller HATED Unions!!
Rockefeller HATED Unions - especially the American UNION and the Soviet Union....Unions prevent
war and keep the peace. The more countries you have the more wars you are going to have. The
Rockefeller Syndicate HATES peace because they cannot make money by supplying arms to both
sides. The Russian Premier of the "workers paradise" probably didn't know that Rockefeller Junior
had about 40 striking mine workers killed in Colorado. Most of those killed were poor Roman
Catholic emigrants from Italy and Ireland.
Rockefeller massacred striking mine workers in Colorado.
Editor's Note
The Imperialists have always tried to promote conflict between Russia and America in order to
instigate conflicts between the two great nations. This was the object of World War I and II -- to get
America and Russia into a suicidal Cold War and reign over the ruins of both.

Bush has to lose the next election. Then the Vice President can have an

Rockefellers and Rothschilds are the same Satanic Bloodline
There are 3 characteristics of this Satanic dynasty
#1 Money maniacs
#2 Power maniacs
#3 Sex maniacs
Every war that this country has fought since the Spanish-American war of 1898 was started by the
Rockefellers to destroy our Constitutional liberties.
The Rockefellers were part of the counter-Reformation Illuminati Rothschild Jesuits and the American
branch of this Satanic bloodline arrived here in the year 1722.
Their main goal was/is to obtain total monopoly on the world's economy by controlling the diminishing
petroleum reserves and set up a 1000 year Reich for the pope!!
The Spanish-American war was a boon to the Rockefeller owned Chase Manhattan Bank and the
National City Bank known today as Citibank or Citicorp:
"The inner motivation with respect to this war has not yet been brought to light
in documentary form. But these facts are certain, Rockefeller's paid henchmen
on the floor of Congress wanted the war; Hearst and Pulitzer demanded it;
Roosevelt and Lodge forced it; McKinley and Hanna acquiesced in it; and the
Rockefeller-Stilman National City Bank benefited most directly from it, for Cub;
the Philippines, and, indeed, all of Latin America soon afterward became
dotted with National City branches, and the Cuban sugar industry gravitated
into National City's hands. Moreover, all of Wall Street, its eyes upon South

get the U.S. into war. (Lundberg, America's 60 Richest Families, p.62)."
This war opened the door to the White House for Rockefeller stooge Teddy Roosevelt who
subsequently founded the FBI or Federal Bureau of Inquisition in 1908.
World War I started right after Rockefeller had another stooge named Woodrow Wilson sign the
Federal Reserve Act which created the PRIVATE Federal Reserve Bank.
The Federal Reserve Bank robbery was made possible by the Rockefeller inspired Income Tax or
16th Amendment which made the American people SURETY for the debts of this private bank.
Sir Henri W.A. Deterding Challenges Standard Oil
Before WW I, the British government began to challenge Standard Oil for world oil supremacy.
Rockefeller would not brook any competition to his monopoly so he sent vast sums to his homeland in
Germany. The Kaiser used this money to arm Germany and keep the war going for 4 years. Here is a
brief quote from a fascinating book entitled We Fight for Oil:
"Lord Fisher not only discovered the method. He found the man. The man was a Holland clerk. He
was rising as an official in the Royal Dutch Petroleum Company. The Admiral described this
gentleman to the British Government as "Napoleonic in his audacity and Cromwellian in his
thoroughness."
Henri W. A. Deterding was the name of this new Napoleon. He lived up to Lord Fisher's description.
He extended the oil holdings of Royal Dutch into a dozen countries. He arranged for increased British
capital control of this international trust. He merged the British Shell oil group with it, making of the
two largest European organizations a united Dutch-Shell combine, the strongest in the world. He
became a British subject. The British Government made him Sir Henri. And then he began to make
British foreign policy.
By 1913, according to Lord Fisher's Memorandum at the time, Sir Henri was "confessing" to the
British Royal Commission on oil that: "He possesses in Romania, in Russia, in California, in Trinidad,
in the Dutch Indies, and shortly in Mexico, the controlling interest in oil. The Anglo-Persian Company
also says he is getting Mesopotamia and squeezing Persia, which are practically untouched areas of
immense size reeking with oil. . . . Sir Thomas Browning says in his evidence that the Royal DutchShell combination is more powerful and aggressive than ever was the great Standard Oil Trust of
America. Let us therefore listen with deep attention to the words of a man [Deterding] who has the
sole executive control of the most powerful organization on earth for the production of a source of
power which almost (Denny, We Fight for Oil, p. 25)."
WW I saw the erosion of many of our dearly bought liberties including the fact that the United States
had to PAY for the war.
Rockefeller financed "Cousin" Adolf
When WW I was over the oil wars continued. The British had control of the Mosul and Iraqi fields and
Standard Oil was willing to do ANYTHING to get them. Sir Henri Deterding was challenging Standard
Oil even in the United States. Rockefeller resorted to his old trick of arming his homeland once again.
Billions flowed to the Hitler regime from Rockefeller and Wall St.
Hitler was a Rothschild
Adolf Hitler was the grandson of Baron
Rothschild.
Alois Hitler, father of Adolf, was the illegitimate son
of Maria Anna Schicklgruber and Baron
Rothschild.
"There are some people who seriously doubt that Johann Georg Hiedler was the father of Alois.
Thyssen and Koehler, for example, claim that Chancellor Dollfuss had ordered the Austrian police to
conduct a thorough investigation into the Hitler family. As a result of this investigation a secret
document was prepared that proved that Maria Anna Schicklgruber was living in Vienna at the time
she conceived. At that time she was employed as a servant in the home of Baron Rothschild. As soon
as the family discovered her pregnancy she was sent back to her home in Spital where Alois was
born. If it is true that one of the Rothschilds is the real father of Alois Hitler, it would make Adolf a
quarter Jew. According to these sources, Adolf Hitler knew of the existence of this document and the
incriminating evidence it contained. In order to obtain it he precipitated events in Austria and initiated
the assassination of Dollfuss. According to this story, he failed to obtain the document at that time
since Dollfuss had secreted it and had told Schuschnigg of its whereabouts so that in the event of his
death the independence of Austria would remain assured. Several stories of this general character
are in circulation. (Langer, The Mind of Adolf Hitler, p.107)."
This fact alone explains why the dunce Hitler should come from nowhere and become Chancellor of
Germany.
David Rockefeller takes picture of "Cousin" Adolf
"Hitler striding through the streets of Munich in Dec. 1937. I (David Rockefeller) pushed my way to the
front of the crowd and snapped the photo just as the dictator passed (Rockefeller, Memoirs)."
Rockefeller agrees to help Great Britain in WW II in exchange for
Mideast oil fields!!
When Hitler was about to invade Britain, the Rockefeller controlled State Department agreed to help
them with war material if Britain agreed to give them the Mideast oil fields after the war....What a dirty
double-cross that would even make the Rockefeller founded Mafia ashamed.

The Vietnam Standard Oil War!!
The Rockefeller controlled Pentagon used the excuse of the war to drop bombs in the water and
listen to the echo in order to locate the underwater oilfields.
Herbert Hoover, later to become President of the United States
did a study that showed that one of the world's largest oil fields
ran along the coast of the South China Sea right off French
Indo-China, now known as Vietnam. This was before offshore
drilling had been invented and before a man named George
Herbert Walker Bush was to become the CEO of a world-wide
offshore drilling company.
In 1945, Vietnam was still a colony of the French. Laurence
Rockefeller, it appears, had given the extensive store of
weapons to Ho Chi Minh with the hope that Vietnam would
drive out the French so that Standard Oil would be able to take
over the as yet undeveloped offshore fields. But in 1954,
Vietnamese General Giap finally defeated and drove out the
French at Dien Bien Phu with weaponry provided by the U.S.
Ho Chi Minh reneged on the deal since he could read too, and
he was well aware of the Hoover resource report and knew
there was a vast supply of oil off the Vietnamese coast.
In the 1950's a method of undersea oil exploration was
perfected which used small explosions deep in the water and
then recorded the sound echoes bouncing off the various
layers of rock below. The surveyor could then determine the
exact location of the arched salt domes which hold the
accumulated oil beneath them. But if this method were used
off the Vietnam coast on property Standard didn't own or have
the rights to, the Vietnamese, the Chinese, the Japanese and
probably even the French would quickly run to the United
Nations and complain that America was stealing the oil, and
that would shut down the operation.
In 1964, after Vietnam was divided into North and South, and the contrived Gulf of Tonkin incident,
several U.S. aircraft carriers were stationed offshore of Vietnam and the 'war' was started. Every day
jet planes would take off from the carriers, bomb locations in North and South Vietnam, and then
using normal military procedure when returning would dump their unsafe or unused bombs in the
ocean before landing back on the carriers. Safe ordnance drop zones were designated for this
purpose away from the carriers.
Even close-up observers would only notice many small explosions occurring daily in the waters of the
South China Sea and thought it was only part of the 'war.' The U.S. Navy carriers had begun
Operation Linebacker One, and Standard Oil had begun its ten year oil survey of the seabed off of
Vietnam. And the Vietnamese, Chinese and everybody else around, including the Americans, were
none the wiser. The oil survey hardly cost Standard Oil a nickel, the U.S. taxpayers paid for it.
Editor's Notes
Ever wonder why power hungry John D. the Fourth did not have himself appointed President during
the 8 year term of Democrat Bill Clinton? All he would have to do is to have Bill assassinated and
then the door would have been wide open for a Rockefeller king by using his 25th Amendment. What
saved Bill from an early demise was the fact that he himself was a Rockefeller and they don't
normally kill their own.
Winthrop Rockefeller, father of Bill Clinton??
(it is a standard trick in Illuminati families to
have hidden children using another name)
Ex-President William Clinton Rockefeller (famous
for the Mena affair and the Savings & Loans
mega-fraud)
Winthrop was Governor of Arkansas - the state that produced Bill Clinton. The records of Bill Clinton's
father have been lost completely -- just like Hitler -- but he fits the mold of a Rockefeller completely
especially in regards to his sexual perversion in the White House. How could Clinton come from a
small poor State like Arkansas and reach the highest position in the land without the help of the
Rockefellers?
Just image someone stealing your credit card and spending thousands of dollars of your money. Then
you are told that YOU must pay for the stolen property. That in essence is what the Rockefeller
Federal Reserve Act and the Income Tax Amendment is all about.

Rockefeller Buys Encyclopedia Britannica!!
Lies and Fallacies of the Encyclopedia Britannica by Joseph McCabe.
The Encyclopedia Britannica was first published in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 100 weekly parts from
1768 to 1771. It was then bound into three volumes. This work was planned by a "Society of
Gentlemen," composed of three Scots: editor William Smellie, who wrote the principal articles, printer
Colin Macfarquhar, and engraver Andrew Bell. It contained distinct treatises and long articles but
also included definitions of technical and other terms in alphabetical order. These general
characteristics have been retained in each of the successive editions since the 18th century. The second
edition, published between 1777 and 1784, also in weekly parts, was eventually accumulated in 10
volumes. The last free independent edition was the 9th Edition published from 1875 to 1890.
Last edition of the famous encyclopedia
before it became property of the
Rockefeller Syndicate.
Britannica becomes "Britannica, Inc.,"
purchase by the Standard Oil Company.
after
its
There was no 10th Edition of the Encyclopedia. Like the Titanic, it must have sunk while making the
crossing of the Atlantic....The Rockefeller Syndicate came out with the 11th edition around 1910.
By the time of the 14th Edition in 1973, many more "schools" were allowed to feed at the Rockefeller
trough.
A Unique example of Anglo-American co-operation!!
By 1900, the Encyclopedia had left Great Britain to seek its fortune in the new world. But guess what?
Cambridge University in England now does the editing. There was no warning about this chicanery
in the 11th edition. This proves that "SCHOLARS" can be bribed by Rockefeller money just as well as
oil refiners, railway owners, and politicians.
Cambridge University was once a bastion of the Reformation. William Tyndale -- the father of the
King James Bible -- was a student there. Another famous student was Sir Isaac Newton who was a
real scientist and a real Bible scholar.
Imperialist Rockefellers still at war with the Scots and the
Reformation.
Refusing to accept defeat in the 30 Years' War, the Imperialists continue to make war with the Scots and the
Reformation. Now their weapons are financial penetration, bribery, blackmail and censorship etc., etc.
U.S. and world economy is TOTALLY dependant on OIL . . . and it's running out!!
Most of the remaining oil is located in the Mideast and controlled by the Arabs. And guess what? The
U.S. needs it desperately. It's nice and convenient that your enemies have something that you
desperately need.
Ignatius LIEola's first ambition was to convert or kill Arabs!!
Even before he decided to fight the Reformation, Ignatius LIEola's dream was to convert Arabs to
Roman Catholicism.
Ignatius LIEola, Jesuit General from 1541 to 1556.
Lieola was ready to kill Moslems because they did not profess Romanism. Nothing has changed: The
followers of LIEola still have the motto: CONVERT OR DIE!!
As soon as the Pope ceased to misrule the city of Rome in 1870, Professor Gavazzi
rushed into the roaring lion's lair and set up the Evangelical Free Church of Italy. He told
the Italians to send the Pope into permanent retirement and turn the Vatican into a
MUSEUM. He warned them that if they allowed the Pope to stay, he would try to get back
the Temporal Power. Just at that time, megabucks Roman Catholics like John D.
Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan began to send millions of dollars to the Italian Government to
persuade them to let the Pope stay!!
The Twin Towers were called David and Nelson Rockefeller (Masonic symbols of the
Jachin and Boaz Pillars)!!

St. during Nelson's 1970
race for Governor of New
York State.
"The country, then, or New York State, therefore possesses two architectural monstrosities singlehandedly produced by rivalrous Rockefeller brothers at taxpayers' expense. For at the end of the line
the taxpayer in both these cases foots the bill, as he does for everything else financial politicos devise.
The two structures therefore represent a double screwing. The two oppressive structures stand, one in
New York City, the other in Albany, like giant bookends of the gods, with Rockefellerland-on-theHudson stretching in between, the home domain. In the meantime, ordinary citizens crawl along in
the overpowering structural shadows like bugs, reduced in physical proportion to their true spiritual
proportions in the established scheme of things: nothings, serfs. Neither structure is anything the
psyche can humanly absorb. Each repels" (The Rockefeller Syndrome by Ferdinand Lundberg, p. 24).
The Twin Towers were affectionately named David and Nelson Rockefeller because they were the
driving force behind their construction. Immediately after their demolition on 9-11-01, the Rockefeller
Syndicate controlled Pentagon invaded Afghanistan and set up bases by the Caspian Sea. Caspian
Sea oil, controlled by Russia, was the main competition to Standard Oil since 1890!!
"Russian competition was the subject of many top-level conferences at the headquarters of
the Trust at 26 Broadway in New York. One of the methods of meeting the threat was
price-cutting" (The Rockefeller Billions, p.165).
Do you smell a rat by now? . . . I mean a Rockefeller!!
Editor's Notes
Pope wants to return the world to the Dark Ages!!
According to the Vatican, the ideal condition for the world would be a return to the Dark Ages.
Modern civilization is based entirely on oil....Lack of oil will cause wars, famines, disease and death -the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. Here is the pope's own Syllabus of Errors it is an ERROR to say:
80. The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with
progress, liberalism and modern civilization.- -Allocution "Jamdudum cernimus," March
18, 1861.
Rockefeller was a disguised Jesuit.
Rockefeller posed as a devout Christian and church-going man before the world. This was just a
smokescreen to disguise his real master. He ignored the golden rule which said "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you (Matthew 7:12). His motto was:
"Do unto others before they do it unto you."
Rockefeller's father was a con-man.
William Rockefeller, father of John D. was
also known as "devil Bill."

William Rockefeller, father of John D. was also known as "devil Bill."
William Avery Rockefeller was the father of John D. His neighbors called him "devil Bill." He was a
horse thief, a rapist and a bigamist. He had 2 families and 2 wives at the SAME time. He was a
medicine man and ran a traveling medical road show which dispensed cancer cures to the ladies. He
was known in some towns as "Doc" Rockefeller and in other towns as "Doc" Levingson. It was from
his father that the son got his interest in "medicine."
Rockefeller and the Russian Revolution.
By 1880, the Vatican-Rockefeller-Standard Oil cartel completely dominated the domestic and foreign
markets for kerosene. All competition was ruthlessly crushed by this juggernaut. Then a rival
appeared in the form of Russian oil. A Swede named Robert Nobel built a refinery in BAKU on the
Caspian Sea. He began to produce cheaper and better oil but was shut out of European and world
markets by Standard Oil.
Rapid growth in Russian oil production had been achieved despite political upheaval that had
enveloped the country since the turn of the century, much of which had been centered in the
country’s oil capital, BAKU. Strikes by oil workers had been a regular feature of the protests against
the Tsar in 1903 and 1904, and were a major factor in the 1905 revolution, in which the former Josef
Dzhugashvili played a significant, anti-Tsarist role. As a result of his revolutionary activity he
fostered in BAKU at that time, Dzhugashvili was exiled to Siberia. Later, he would become better
known as Josef Stalin.

Joseph Stalin's anti-Czarist's activities centered around the oil producing region of BAKU. This oil
was a direct competitor to Standard Oil and they were not about to tolerate any rivals. That is why
they financed the Revolution and the downfall of the Czar.

By 1900, most of the refined oil was turned into kerosene for illumination. Standard Oil had an almost
complete worldwide monopoly on kerosene. However, Mr. Edison ruined their market by inventing
the light bulb. The invention of the gasoline engine saved them however and now the entire world
economy is completely dependent on oil . . . and the Pentagon/Standard Oil boys want to control it.

was an avid golfer and:
"Around water holes, Rockefeller insisted that they switch to old golf balls and marveled
at profligate players who used new balls in these treacherous places. “They must be very
rich!" he told Ames" (Titan: the Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., p. 611).

Nobody can deny that the Rockefellers are GIANTS. Giants in bribery, giants in "education," giants in
"medicine," giants in finance, giants in buildings, giants in propaganda, giants in publishing, giants in oil, giants
in political ambition, giants in lies, etc., etc.
The Twin Towers (Masonic symbols of the Jachin and Boaz Pillars) were gigantic buildings and the Albany Mall
is a giant. The Rockefellers own most of the museums in Manhattan including the Smithsonian in Washington
D.C. In New York City alone, they own the Unnatural History Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, Asia
House, the Cloisters etc., etc. Hidden away in those museums are records of the past which they do not want
you to know about.
John D. Rockefeller IV, born into the House of Pharaoh in 1937. John D. Rockefeller the Fourth -- the American
Pharaoh -- is the nephew of Nelson Rockefeller -- the builder of the World Trade Center and the man who tried
to have himself APPOINTED President without an election.
He is a U.S. Senator from West Virginia and on many powerful committees including the Select Committee for
Intelligence and the Subcommittee on Health Care. Shades of old "Doc" Bill again.
Unfortunately John the Fourth is a member of the Democratic Party. He cannot succeed Dick Cheney (a
Republican) as Vice President if Cheney has an early demise. He can however ruin Bush and the Republican
Party and that will help the Democrats to come roaring back in 2004. Then he has another chance at getting
himself APPOINTED President.

Madness does not RUN in the Rockefeller Dynasty . . . it GALLOPS!!
He is THE POWER in Washington D.C., and is gung-ho to attack Iraq. He stands to make millions more from
this conflict and achieve some long sought Rockefeller objectives:
1. By faking a smallpox attack, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research will make millions on vaccination.
2. By showcasing their latest weaponry the Syndicate will have customers lining up at the door.
3. This war will further drive the nation into debt and cause the country to be hated by almost ALL the
countries of the world.
4. By finally obtaining the complete monopoly on oil that the Rockefellers have sought for over 100 years.
Rockefeller financed the atomic bomb -- the ultimate weapon of MASS
destruction!!
The atomic bomb was the world's first horror weapon of MASS destruction. Its development took place at the
Rockefeller owned University of Chicago. Enrico Fermi was awarded a Rockefeller Fellowship to help develop
the atomic bomb. Rome has always sought some wonder weapon in order to bring the world under the sway of
the "Vicar of Christ."
Here is a great exposé of the Crown Prince before he became Pharaoh from the book: The "Federal" Reserve
Conspiracy and the Rockefellers by Emanuel M. Josephson:
"John D the Fourth followed the family tradition of evading active military service in their own "Crusades" for
the expansion of their Empire and loot. Following the example of his uncle, Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, he
obtained, through familial power, an administrative, swivel-chair job in Washington, in the missionary agency
set up by Kennedy, the "Peace Corps." Then, moving away still further from the Vietnam front, he had himself
transferred to the subversive "Poverty Corps" in the Appalachia region, in West Virginia, that had been
effectively impoverished by his Dynasty.
With a view to advancing his status to one befitting a Rockefeller "Crown Prince," the conspirators followed
their usual pattern in the takeover of sections of the country. All their press agents, propagandists and media of
mass communications gave him a fake buildup as a "philanthropist." They carefully avoided revealing that their
Rockefeller-Standard Oil outfit with the help of their agent, president of coal miners union, John L. Lewis, had
driven its coal industry to the wall and thereby made West Virginia the "poverty pocket" that it has been since it
felt the curse of Rockefeller "benevolence." "Crown Prince" John D the Fourth, riding on the fake "buildup" of
"philanthropist," to which color was lent by his job in the bogus "Poverty Corps," announced that he would
"turn coat," as did his uncle Nelson, and condescend to adopt local citizenship, and rule West Virginia's
impoverished "peasants" as a Democrat.
The conspirators' agents resorted to their usual, familiar practice of engineering his "drafting" as candidate for
the State legislature from Kanawah County. At the same time, they filled the press and all other media of mass
communication with stories that their usual fake polls to create public opinion indicated that his "philanthropy"
destined his election, in the near future, as Governor of the State and ruler of its duped "peasants." He himself
modestly announced that he planned to take over the post of Governor and ruler of the State, at the same time
as his notoriously queer uncle, Winthrop, announced his intent to take over the rule of equally backward,
impoverished and duped Arkansas.
An advertisement offered to all the local press, detailing these shameful facts and advising the voters not to aid
and abet able bodied young men evading their duty to serve the country in Vietnam by voting them into public
office, was rejected, so complete and absolute is the conspirators' control of the local media. Instead, the craven
specimen has been built up to the point of the citizenry accepting him as their prospective ruler, as their
Governor-to-be. How much money the conspirators spent to buy the election for him has not been revealed.
The candidate's contempt for those who voted him into office was openly stated by him to be abysmal. He
boasted that he won the election without announcing any platform or condescending to discuss any of the
issues vital to the citizenry. He implied that they were too stupid to be concerned with them. And he intimated
that he would follow the same tactics when he proceeded to purchase the Governorship of the State. One week
after his election he did announce his plan to marry Sen. Percy's daughter, Sharon, to rule at his side. On
February 1, 1968, he announced that he would assume the post of State Secretary before taking on the
governorship (pp. 276,277)"

1933 was also the year of Hitler's putsch in Germany.
Roosevelt and Hitler were financed by the U.S. Central Bank
and Wall St. You can read the whole sordid account in a book
entitled Wall St. and the Rise of Hitler by Anthony C. Sutton.
In 1933, President Roosevelt - by
executive order - made it a crime for
American citizens to own gold.....The
paper dollars issued by the Federal
Reserve or U.S. Bank ceased to be
redeemable in gold or real money. This
meant that the citizens of the land of the
free were working for . . . nothing. When
you work for nothing that makes you a . .
. slave!!
Egyptian PYRAMID on the back of the dollar
bill.
In 1935, for the first time in U.S. history, by order of President Roosevelt, an Egyptian PYRAMID
was placed on the back of the one dollar bill. On top of the PYRAMID was placed the all-seeing
eye of HORUS (statues at the Louve Museum, Paris).
This note was no longer redeemable in gold. It was however redeemable for one ounce of SAND
from the Egyptian desert.
A 1928, $10 Gold Certificate.
Note the verbiage: Gold Certificate Payable to the bearer on demand, in gold coin. At the top it
states "This certifies that there have been deposited in the Treasury of the United States, twenty
dollars in gold coin, payable to the bearer on demand."
The above bill is consistent with the U. S. Coinage Act and the constitution of the United States,
which lays the legal foundation for money in the U.S.:
Article I, Section 10, U.S. Constitution: No State shall coin Money, emit Bills of Credit, make
any Thing but gold and silver Coin as Tender in Payment of Debts.
This was the same Roosevelt that provoked the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor and declared
war on Germany and Italy. All the soldiers that fought and died in that war were not paid either.

MORE ON THE PAST CENTURY OF ROCKELLER FAMILY HISTORY
One must understand who the Rockefellers are/were in order to comprehend the significance of all their
associations and projects. The Rockefeller family is viewed by many as a family that has helped humanity
globally, and from a humanistic perspective, one cannot dispute that some of their ventures have indeed helped
in some way. Their involvement in issues traverse the political, banking, economic, religious, educational and
environmental affairs. The desire for wealth and power is not restricted to those mentioned in this article, like J.
Howard Pew, Nelson Bunker Hunt, but many more in the oil and commodities industry and others who sought
the same things Rockefeller did.
Some authors suggest that the Rockefellers are merely a front for the workings of the Rothschild's. It should be
noted that all banking and economic systems are interconnected as are those families involved. Each is a cog in
a very large wheel. We are reminded as Christians, that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood..." For our
purposes, due to the vastness of their historical connections, we will focus on a fraction of what and who the
Rockefeller's are involved with and connected to.
Skeletons in the Closet: Rockefeller History
The history of the Rockefeller family began, not with Standard Oil and not with honor, but with a con man,
womanizer and a thief. Various authors note that the Rockefeller "oil" beginnings were not solely from "crude
oil." John D. Rockefeller Seniors father, William Avery Rockefeller, "Big Bill," was a traveling salesman who
advertised himself as a "William Rockefeller, the Celebrated Cancer Specialist" and who hawked "herbal
remedies" and other bottled medicines." He guaranteed "All Cases of Cancer Cured Unless They Are Too Far
Gone". Those claims allowed him to charge $25 for his magic cancer, which he retailed for $25 a bottle, a sum
then equivalent to two month's wages. The "cure" survived until quite recently as Nujol, consisting principally
of petroleum and peddled as a laxative. Nujol was manufactured by a subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey,
called Stanco, whose only other product, manufactured on the same premises, was the famous insecticide, Flit.
[Special Report]
"William posed as the town’s peddler that sold cheap novelties with a small board with the words "I am deaf
and dumb" chalked across it, tied by a string to his shirt. Big Bill can be described as a faker that lived-off
scamming from others, posing as mentally challenged" [Family Traits].
"He fled from a number of indictments for horse stealing, eventually disappearing altogether as William
Rockefeller and magically re-emerging as a Dr. William Levingston of Philadelphia, a name which he retained
for the rest of his life. An investigative reporter at Joseph Pulitzer's New York World received a tip that was
followed up. The World then disclosed that William Avery Rockefeller had died May 11, 1906 in Freeport,
Illinois, where he was interred in an unmarked grave as Dr. William Levingston." [Special Report] He married
Eliza Davison in 1837, and shortly thereafter brought Nancy Brown home, as a "housekeeper" who became an
alternate lover and who also bore his children. [Family Traits]
"On June 28, 1849, he was indicted for raping a hired girl in Cayuga, New York; he later was found to be
residing in Oswego, New York and was forced once again to decamp for parts unknown. He had no difficulty in
financing his woman-chasing interests from the sale of his miraculous cancer cure and from another product, his
"Wonder Working Liniment", which he offered at only two dollars a bottle. It consisted of crude petroleum from
which the lighter oils had been boiled away, leaving a heavy solution of paraffin, lube oil and tar, which
comprised the "liniment". [Special Report]
John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) laid claim to the title of being the "most ruthless American." He was a war
profiteer during the Civil War selling unstamped Harkness liquor to Federal troops at a high profit, gaining the
initial capital to embark on his drive for monopoly in the oil business.
In 1870 Rockefeller, along with his associates and older brother William, incorporated his petroleum holdings
into the Standard Oil Company (Ohio). Rockefeller bought out his competitors or put them out of business
through tactics that included price cutting and the acquisition of such supporting enterprises as pipelines, oil
terminals, and cooperage plants. By 1881, when Rockefeller formed a trust with nine directors to control
Standard Oil and its affiliates, he had a near monopoly of the petroleum industry in the United States.
Rockefeller was also prominent in the affairs of railroads and banks, being second only to J. P. Morgan in the
domain of finance.
When the United States Steel Corporation was formed (1901), Rockefeller was one of the directors. From 1897
Rockefeller had turned his interests toward philanthropy. He funded the Baptist Church, the YMCA, and to the
Anti-Saloon League, and founded (1892) and endowed the University of Chicago, ultimately giving the school
more than 80 million dollars. He endowed major philanthropic institutions, including the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research, founded (1901) in New York City and since 1965 known as Rockefeller University, the
General Education Board (1902), organized (1902) to make gifts to various educational and research agencies;
the Rockefeller Foundation (1913), established to promote public health and to further the medical, natural, and
social sciences; and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Foundation (1918), named for his late wife.
[Comptons] [Columbia Encyc.]
From the Rockefeller Foundation History, "... 1889 Rockefeller [made] the first of what would become $35
million in gifts, over a period of two decades, to found the University of Chicago. ... In 1903 he created the
General Education Board at an ultimate cost of $129 million to promote education in the United
States....Rockefeller was prepared to begin the Rockefeller Foundation in 1909, even signing a deed of trust to
turn over 72,569 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey stock worth $50 million. But delays and difficulties in
seeking a federal charter for the Foundation, ... resulted in a lapse until 1913, when the Foundation was
officially incorporated in the state of New York. Since its inception the Rockefeller Foundation has given more
than $2 billion to thousands of grantees worldwide and has assisted directly in the training of nearly 13,000
Rockefeller Foundation Fellows...."
From an article about Rockefeller and UFO's: "By the 1920s John D. Rockefeller, the founder of the
Rockefeller dynasty, was funding the notorious "racial hygiene" think tank Eugenics Records Office. Its ideas of
mass sterilization, the 'inferiority' of Black people and "breeding better humans" directly influenced Adolf Hitler
and provided 'scientific legitimacy' for the Nazi race laws...." [Rockefeller/UFO's]
John Davison Rockefeller, Jr., (1874-1960) was the only son and heir of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. ... After
graduating from Brown University in 1897, he worked in family enterprises. In New York City he financed the
Rockefeller Center .... By donating land in New York City, Rockefeller was instrumental in the decision to
locate the United Nations headquarters in the United States. Riverside Church in New York City was built
through his gifts. Rockefeller had one daughter, Abby (born 1903), and five sons: John D. III, Nelson, Laurance,
Winthrop, and David. [Comptons] [Columbia Encyc.]
The General Education Board started by John D. Rockefeller Sr. in 1902-- "In Raymond Fosdick's memorial
history of the Board, he indicates that it was part of John D. Rockefeller Jr's effort toward "this goal of social
control." [as cited in Research Manual: America 2000/Goals 2000, p. 54] The Rockefeller Foundation History
also states: 1923...John D. Rockefeller, Jr., creates the International Education Board in 1923 with $20 million
to promote education abroad, a parallel effort to the U.S. General Education Board."
The RF History also adds this important information about the activities of the Rockefellers: ."..The American
Council of Learned Societies, which from the beginning derived most of its support from the General Education
Board and then from RF, receives the first of many additional grants to support fellowships in humanistic
studies....Beginning in 1933 and extending for more than 20 years, RF expends $1.5 million in identifying and
assisting 300 scientists and scholars from Nazi Germany to settle in friendly locations; many relocate to U.S.
universities. 1936...Raymond B. Fosdick becomes president of RF and serves until 1948...1948...Dr. Albert C.
Kinsey, professor of zoology at Indiana University, publishes Sexual Behavior in the Human Male-popularly
called the "Kinsey Report." Kinsey received his first RF support in 1946...1971...RF funds the Population
Council's newly established International Committee for Contraceptive Research to develop and test new
methods of fertility control....
In 1962 Edith Roosevelt, writing about the "Universal Theocratic State" stated, "Curriculum is being drafted to
indoctrinate our children in what "John D. Rockefeller Jr. calls 'the church of all people.'...Plans are being made
to set up regional World Universities whose objectives would include 'to instruct in all religious but will not
make religion it's aim,' 'build a world outlook' and teach the physiological , psychological and spiritual aspect of
sex.'...On July 31, 1962 Dwight D. Eisenhower endorsed setting up a World University to provide 'World
Thinkers' to funnel into the United Nations....Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara is a sponsor of the Temple
of Understanding, the $5,000,000 "Spiritual UN' for the six major faiths...UN official lecture at meetings of the
Arcane School, the international 'group of New World Servers', who form 'Triangles' to work for UNESCO."
These were established by occultist Alice Bailey's Lucis Trust, which was to be affiliated with the U.N.
Meditation Room. [Research Manual: America 2000/Goals 2000, p. 72-73]
UNESCO-- The first director -general of UNESCO (1946-48) was Sir Julian Huxley, an ardent defender of
Darwin's fraudulent theory of evolution, and who wrote the 1948, "UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy."
"The general philosophy of UNESCO should be a scientific world humanism, global in extent and evolutionary
in background...its education program it can stress the ultimate need for world political unity and familiarize all
peoples with the implications of the transfer of full sovereignty from separate nations to a world
organization...Political unification in some sort of world government will be required...Tasks for the media
division of UNESCO (will be) to promote the growth of a common outlook shared by all nations and
cultures...to help the emergence of a single world culture....Even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic
policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to
see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the
issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable." [as cited in Research
Manual: America 2000/Goals 2000, p. 33-34]

John D. Rockefeller III (1906-78) Graduated from Princeton University in 1929 and served on the boards of
several family philanthropies. Rockefeller endowed the India International Center and the Asia Society.
"...philanthropic ventures, such as Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, the United Negro College Fund, and
the Population Council...." [Comptons][Columbia Encyc.] Founded the Population Council, a.k.a, pro-abortion
council.
Jay Rockefeller (John Davison Rockefeller 4th), 1937– son of John D. Rockefeller 3d, was elected governor of
West Virginia as a Democrat in 1976; reelected in 1980, he was then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984 and
reelected in 1990 and 1996. [Columbia Encyc.] Member of the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign
Relations.
Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller (1908-79) ... Graduated from Dartmouth College in 1930 and, after working in
various branches of family business, entered public service. Rockefeller held numerous federal posts, including
under secretary of state (1944), head of the International Development Advisory Board (1950-52), and under
secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (1953-55). He was elected governor of New
York in 1958 and reelected in 1962, 1966, and 1970. Rockefeller unsuccessfully sought the Republican
presidential nomination three times (1960, 1964, and 1968). In 1974 Rockefeller was sworn in as vice-president
under President Gerald Ford and served until the term ended in 1977. [Comptons] Participated in the founding
of the United Nations.
".... To enable Robert Welch, a 32nd degree Mason, to devote all of his time to the John Birch Society, Nelson
Rockefeller purchased his family firm, the Welch Candy Company, from him at a most handsome price. Welch
chose the principal officers of the John Birch Society from his acquaintances at the Council on Foreign
Relations..." [Special Report]
In 1962, Nelson wrote, "The Future of Federalism" which claims that current events demand a "new world
order." He stated that there is: "A fever of nationalism...but the nation-state is becoming less and less competent
to perform its international political tasks...These are some of the reasons pressing us to lead vigorously toward
the true building of a new world order...Sooner perhaps than we may realize...there will evolve the bases for a
federal structure of the free world."
Nelson developed the CIAA, which was his own version of the CIA, and which had intelligence oversight of the
South American continent. He used what ever political and social networks that were available to achieve his
goals, using the intelligence community to advantage. His lust for wealth propelled him to desire control over
every aspect of the continent. He planned major highways spanning the Amazon jungle, building dams, lakes,
ranches, incorporating drilling and mining and reaping what belonged to the Native population. With Nelson's
endorsement, the governments of South America were manipulated and managed extensively by the CIA, to
benefit not only Rockefeller, but the US desire for global wealth and control against "communism." [Thy Will
Be Done] His ventures have impacted not only the native peoples but devastated the environment, which comes
in sharp contrast to his brothers Laurence's and David's environmental ventures, which supposedly are to protect
the environment.
Laurance Spelman Rockefeller (born 1910) ... After graduating from Princeton University in 1932, he worked in
business and participated in the founding of Eastern Airlines. ... He served on the boards of the American
Conservation Association and the Citizens Advisory Committee on Environmental Quality. [Comptons] He
provided seed money for companies such as Intel Corporation and Apple Computers. He establishment
conservation organizations such as The Conservation Foundation and American Conservation Association, Inc.
and participated on the boards of the National Geographic Society, National Recreation and Parks Association,
regional conservation societies, New York Zoological Society, and others. Laurence controls the stock of
Readers Digest, which, "...By 1980, two-thirds of Reader's Digest stock was transferred to seven charities
controlled by Laurence. The Fund for the Hudson Highlands received 475,000 shares of stock, vastly
undervalued at $30 per share at the time....The Rockefeller charities profited. The gift of 588,424 shares to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art "would come to be worth a vast fortune ...the greatest gift ever given... to any
cultural institution in the world,...In January1990, Hudson Highlands received $51,693,290 from the sale of
Reader's Digest stock, and in May 1991 $48,128,000. With their $322,822,000 worth of remaining Reader's
Digest holdings, their total wealth from Lila and DeWitt Wallace, according to Canning, amounts to
$422,000,000." [Readers Digest] David Rockefeller is chairman of the Metropolitan Museum of Art
".... By the late 1960s [Laurence] he moved closer to an environmentalist position. He was one of the most
influential individuals in America to make that journey, from conservation to a muted environmentalism. He
had the capacity to put his money into that journey, to educate teachers, politicians, and policy analysts. ... LSR
was, by the 1990s, willing to at least consider the possibility of life in outer space, to consider the efficacy of
holistic and alternative medicines, to consider the implications of biocentrism, to consider a trajectory ... away
from business and organized religion entirely. As he remarked, he remained open to influence....In turn, LSR
was an influence himself: on the international as well as national park movement, on outdoor recreation,
national beautification, historical preservation, and on what constitutes the public good. Through his
interventions and his generally well-placed insertions of seed money he reshaped the hotel industry, promoted
better zoos and more extensive greenways, and raised expectations and performance on the part of travelers,
conservationists, and environmentalists..."[Catalyst for Conservation]
His wife, Mary French Rockefeller, worked for years on behalf of the YWCA. She joined the YWCA's national
board in 1951 and served until she became a member of its Board of Trustees in 1988. [Detroit News, 1997] She
was also a trustee of Spelman College and the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
Dr. Harold Ockenga helped found Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 1969 and was President of it and
Gordon College from 1969-1985. "The Conwell School of Theology and Gordon Divinity School merged in
1969 through the efforts of philanthropist J. Howard Pew, Dr. Harold J. Ockenga and Dr. Billy Graham...Dr.
Ockenga, the long-time pastor of Boston's historic Park Street Church, became the new institution's first
president. Dr. Ockenga retired in 1979 but maintained an active emeritus relationship with the school and served
as member of the Board of Trustees until his death in 1985"
Dr. Billy Graham is Chairman Emeritus of the Board of Trustees. Harold Ockenga was a co-founder of Fuller
Theological Seminary, who, along with J. Edwin Orr, was also Co-Founder of the National Association of
Evangelicals in 1942. He served as President of both the National Association of Evangelicals and the World
Evangelical Fellowship, which are merely the national and world organizations of the same thing.
The CIA's mind control experiments under the Human Ecology Fund were replaced by groups such as the
Human Potential Foundation funded by Laurence Rockefeller. Laurence also funds UFO research. In 1999 the
New York Daily News ran a report about Laurence's UFO funding. "Michael Luckman, director of the New
York Center for UFO Research, (to propagate the fraud that mankind is under threat from UFO) says the
Rockefeller report entitled 'The Best Available Evidence,' "features testimony from former military officials and
astronauts that contradicts Air Force denials of an alien landing." [UFO Funds]
Laurence has funded "Dr. John Mack, the Harvard psychiatrist famous for his book on so-called 'alien
abductions'."
"Greens and Greys [Linking Alien Presence to Environmentalism] "... intelligences of the highest power are
absolutely appalled that this one species is so out of control, so insensitive to the living ecosystem of the
earth..." -- Dr. John Mack, Harvard Psychiatrist....Mack's bridge between UFOs and ecology is evident in a
recent book of articles compiled by the Sierra Club. Entitled Ecopsychology, Mack asks: "How do we invent a
new psychology of our relationship to the earth?"
Critics accuse Mack of founding a new religion in the "green politics" of the aliens. His response that he
"cannot help it if this is the communication coming through,"....Laurence Rockefeller also funds the Green
Earth Foundation headed by Terence McKenna. McKenna scouts the globe collecting psychoactive plants,
which he is permitted to cultivate in Hawaii. One of McKenna's theories is that psychoactive substances used by
native cultures in religious ceremonies induce telepathic links with alien cultures. He believes the patriarchal
"dominator" cultures of the past few thousand years have failed us and the earth, and calls for an "archaic
revival", which requires a return to humanity's last "sane" moment 15,000 years ago on the plains of Africa
"rocked in the cradle of the great horned mushroom goddess."
Human Potential Foundation [Global Mind - Change Potential] The Human Potential Foundation (HPF),
founded by U.S. Senator Claiborne Pell and based in Falls Church, Virginia, is another project funded primarily
by Laurence Rockefeller.
According to Dick Farley, who worked for the organisation for about three years, Rockefeller's interest in HPF
seemed to be the promotion of "alternative religious and psychiatric/psychological paradigms, including socalled 'UFOs' and 'abductions,' having 'Global Mind Change' potentials. Rockefeller put more than $700,000
through the 'HPF' from 1991 to 1994, as Common Cause Magazine recently reported." [Rockefeller/UFO's]
The Complementary & Alternative Medicine Program at Stanford (CAMPS) program at Stanford sports a
ying/yang symbol. Its database project is worth noting.
"CAMPS Database Project: CAMPS in conjunction with Vicus.com, Inc. will launch a subscription-only
database that will house citations, abstracts and articles that were donated in 1997 by Esalen Institute cofounder Michael Murphy and Laurence Rockefeller...." [CAMPS]
The Rockefellers supported Esalen and its "Esalen Soviet-American Exchange Program." Esalen is involved in
parapsychology, self-actualization, self-hypnosis, with similar techniques of manipulation and mind-control as
Tavistock. Esalen's activities include psychological manipulation to solve political problems. [Research Manual:

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), incorporated on July 29, 1921, is the American counterpart to
Britain's Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA). David has been a director from 1949-85, chairman of
the board 1970-85, vice president 1950-70. The Rockefeller Group is a corporate member.
The Trilateral Commission was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller with Zbigniew Brzezinski as executive
director, after Brzezinski published Between Two Ages, which became the blueprint for the TC. David read and
appreciated his ideas, which included,
"Though Stalinism may have been a needless tragedy for both the Russian people and communism as an ideal,
there is the intellectually tantalizing possibility that for the world at large it was, as we shall see, a blessing in
disguise." "Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision.
Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason
over belief."
"Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior
scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to
achieve its political ends by the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society
under close surveillance and control."
"The Soviet Union could have emerged as the standard-bearer of this century's most influential system of
thought and as the social model for resolving the key dilemmas facing modern man." [Between Two Ages, p.
300]
1973 founding members of the Trilateral Commission also included Jimmy Carter, who chose Zbigniew
Brzezinski as his National Security Adviser during his presidency. Brzezinski, also a member of the CFR, wrote
in his Power & Principle: Memoirs of the National Security Advisor, 1977-1981, on page 49, "The new
President's specific views on foreign affairs--going beyond his desire for a foreign policy governed by humane
and moral concerns--had been formed during his time with the Trilateral Commission. Contrary to the myth, the
Trilateral Commission is not a conspiracy designed to dominate the world but genuinely strives to engage
Americans, Western Europeans and Japanese in a common endeavor to shape a more cooperative world..."
On page 289, he wrote, '"Moreover, all the key foreign policy decision-makers of the Carter Administration had
previously served in the Trilateral Commission...."

On Aug. 10, 1973, David Rockefeller wrote an article for the "New York Times" in which he described a recent
visit to Red China: "Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in
producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community
purpose." [Timeline]
Speaking at the Sept. 23, 1994 United Nations Ambassadors' dinner, David Rockefeller remarked,
"This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be
built, will not be open for too long." "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right
major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order." [Timeline]
David founded the Council of the Americas in 1965 with, "... like-minded business people founded the Council
of the Americas based on the fundamental belief that free markets and private enterprise offer the most effective
means to achieve regional economic growth and prosperity. Since that time, membership has grown to over 200
blue chip companies that represent the majority to the U.S. private investment in Latin America."
David Rockefeller was the connection and influence to the Earth Charter and Maurice Strong of Canada. In
1972 Strong was Secretary General of the first Earth Summit in Stockholm. This led to the creation of the
United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) in 1972. Strong was UNEP's first Exec. Director. At the same
time Strong served as the Director of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The IUCN
was accredited by the UN in 1946 to become its "scientific advisor" and was made up of various government
scientists. Within the IUCN, the EPA, USFWS (who administers The US Endangered Species Act), Nat. Park
Service, US Forest Service, and Nat. Ocean and Atmosphere Adm. huddle behind closed doors with the Sierra
Club, National Audubon, National Wildlife Federation, Nature Conservancy, Natural Resources Defense
Council, Environ. Defense Fund, etc. to plan and implement this global agenda and the new global ethics from
above and below. The IUCN wrote the Convention on Biodiversity and created the pantheistic pseudoscience
called "conservation biology" to "prove" earth's ecosystems were being mortally wounded by human use. The
IUCN also founded the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) and the World Resources Institute (WRI) which
pass the banner back and fourth in developing and promoting treaties and agreements ... [EPI]

Rockefeller Liberalism
Although fraudulently claiming Baptist roots, the Kabbalist Rockefellers were liberal in their theology, and
were sympathetic to "higher criticism" of the Bible, replacing faith with an acceptance of modern sciences
versions and interpretation of history, creation and so on. As seen by their grants to all manner of ecumenicalism
and occultism, saying one is "Christian" does not mean one is. Being Baptist was and is not an indicator one is a
"Christian" by any way, shape or means.
For example, The American Baptist Publication Society, in 1919 published "The New World Order" by Samuel
Zane Batten.
In it, Batten declares, "...the new world rises upon our vision....We have vindicated the right of social
control....There must be developed a national spirit of service....The natural resources of the nation must be
socialized...The state must socialize every group...Men must learn to have world patriotism. World patriotism
must be a faith....There is no more justice for the claim of absolute sovereignty on the part of a nation than on
the part of an individual....The only alternative is World Federation...with a world parliament, an international
court, and an international policy force...Men must have an international mind before there can be a world
federation. They must see and affirm that above the nation is humanity. Internationalism must first be a religion
before it can be a reality and a system." [as cited in Research Manual: America 2000/Goals 2000, p.31]
An avid supporter of the Northern Baptist Convention and missions, liberal theology changed the acceptance of
[John D. Rockefeller] Juniors funding by some. Many, however, chose to move into liberal and "modernist"
theology, including those the Rockefellers entrusted their investments and philanthropies to. According to Colby
and Dennett, originally 'fundamentalist' they were replaced by liberals, such as "lawyer Raymond Fosdick and
his brother Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, the liberal theologian." Raymond Fosdick was President of the
Rockefeller Foundation from 1936-1948.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. provided the funds for the building of New York's Riverside Church, considered one of
the ten largest churches in the World. The Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, was senior pastor from 1930 - 1946.
Their information states:
“We are an interdenominational, interracial, & international congregation." "The Riverside Church seeks to be a
community of faith. Its members are united in the worship of God known in Jesus, the Christ, through the
inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The mission of The Riverside Church is to serve God through word and witness;
to treat all human beings as sisters and brothers; and to foster responsible stewardship of all God’s creation. The
Riverside Church commits itself to welcoming all persons, celebrating the diversity found in a congregation
broadly inclusive of persons from different backgrounds of race, economic class, religion, culture, ethnicity,
gender, age, and sexual orientation. Members are called to an individual and collective quality of life that leads
to personal, spiritual, and social transformation, witnessing to God’s saving purposes for all creation.
Therefore, The Riverside Church pledges itself to education, reflection, and action for peace and justice, the
realization of the vision of the heavenly banquet where all are loved and blessed.
"The church is interdenominational. It is affiliated with both the United Church of Christ and the American
Baptist Churches and cooperates with the Council of Churches in the City of New York as well as the New York
State, National, and World Councils of Churches."
Many do not know of, or are supportive of, the Rockefeller's massive funding of population control through
such groups as the Population Council and Planned Parenthood. One can view some of their donations through
the Rockefeller Brothers Fund Archives, which lists such recipients as:
Aspen Institute of Humanistic Studies [See: Jack Kemp],
Brookings Institution, [See: Howard Ahmanson],
Council on Foreign Relations,
Association of Theological Schools in the U.S. and Canada [ATS],
Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, Catholic, Buddhist, Jewish and other religious ventures,
Hudson Institute, [See: Howard Ahmanson]
Lehrman Institute, [See: Lewis E. "Lew" Lehrman],
Lindisfarne Association, Inc.,
National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA,
the Sierra Club [which endorses the Earth Charter],
the Trilateral Commission,
the United Nations, and the World Council of Churches, many of which are mentioned in our CNP articles and
other reports. These are some of the many, many recipients.
The Temple of Understanding is based in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which is the Episcopal "mother"
church.
“The Temple of Understanding collaborated with the Global Commission of Parliamentarian Leaders in 1985
and gave birth to the Global Forum.” 77
“…New Age organizations behind the Global Forum just happen to be the Temple of Understanding, which is
closely tied to the United Nations and is housed at Madeleine L’Engle’s church, the Cathedral of St. John the
Divine…The Temple’s purpose…is to facilitate the one world religion, through the promoting both the
acceptance and the embrace of all religions, beliefs and rituals.” 78
“According to the Temple of Understanding’s own literature, it is the world’s second oldest international
interfaith organization, just behind the World Congress of Faith’s, founded in England in 1935…The Temple
began through the efforts of …”Founding Friends,” including world leaders Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert
Schweitzer, Thomas Merton, the Dalai Lama, U Thant, Pope John XXIII, Pope Paul VI…” 79
“The “Friends” assisted the founder, Juliet Hollister…in establishing a world interfaith center based in the U.S.
Additional sponsors have included John D. Rockefeller II, Margaret Sanger… International Planned
Parenthood…Bishop James A. Pike from Little Rock, Arkansas…the Society of Friends (Quakers), the Jewish
Theological Seminary, the Unitarian Fellowship…” 80
“In October of 1988, the Temple of Understanding…held a “North America Assisi,” in Wichita, Kansas…Faith
delegates represented Jains, American Indians, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Shintoism,
Bahaism, Unitarian Universalism, Sikh and Zoroastrianism. Some spanned more than one faith, such as John L.
Jory, a Quaker…who is also a practicing Buddhist.” 81 [See: More Manifestations! Less Bible!
The Rockefeller Foundation has given to Rand, Stanford University and the ecumenical and New Age World
Conference on Religion and Peace and many more.
They also funded the League for Industrial Democracy, whose directors include such staunch "antiCommunists" as Jeane Kirkpatrick and Sidney Hook." Previous to 1921, the League for Industrial Democracy
was named the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, its goals to advance the ideas of Marxism. Intercollegiate
Socialist Society, was organized by Upton Sinclair, Jack London and also Clarence Darrow, John Dewey and
others. Its permanent headquarters was at the Rand School of Social Science in 1908, and whose 1935 president
was John Dewey. See: CNP's Alan P. Dye and Alan Keyes.

The 5 main reasons for the founding of the Rothschild/Rockefeller State of "Israel".
1. Stop the world from calling the pope "The Antichrist."
2. Convert the Arab world to Rome.
3. Control of Mideast Oil Reserves.
4. Open up the Arab market to Rockefeller booze.
5. Lend money at usury to the Arabs in order to destroy them.
Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem.
When oil was discovered in the Mideast around 1914, it joined Caspian Sea oil in breaking the
worldwide monopoly of Standard Oil. However, Rockefeller was not about to tolerate any
competition to his syndicate. Russian oil had been pushed out of the loop by the Russian Revolution
and the only remaining source of foreign oil was the Mideast.
This necessitated Standard Oil control of the area. It just so happened that the Arabs controlled all of
it and they were on Ignatius LIEola's hit list since the 16th century. Here was a chance to control the
best oil in the world and at the same time destroy the Moslem religion.
“There are people who control spacious territories teeming with manifest and hidden resources. They dominate
the intersections of world routes. Their lands were the cradles of human civilizations and religions. These
people have one faith, one language, one history and the same aspirations. No natural barriers can isolate these
people from one another ... if, per chance, this nation were to be unified into one state; it would then take the
fate of the world into its hands and would separate Europe from the rest of the world. Taking these
considerations seriously, a foreign body should be planted in the heart of this nation to prevent the convergence
of its wings in such a way that it could exhaust its powers in never-ending wars. It could also serve as a
springboard for the West to gain its coveted objects.”1902 - Sir Campbell Bannerman, Prime Minister of Britain
[1905-08]
As is well known, the owners of Standard Oil and its allies have always coveted the oil and gas reserves of the
world and have used every trick in the book to own or control its supply. In his Reminiscences, John D.
Rockefeller, the owner of Standard Oil (ESSO), informed us that the entire American administration - including
the CIA, and its Armed forces were at its disposal to achieve what it could not otherwise achieve by fair means
or foul: "_One of our greatest helpers has been the State Department in Washington. Our ambassadors and
ministers and consuls have aided to push our way into new markets to the utmost comers of the world..."
As Garry Allen also points out in his: The Rockefeller File, pages 159-160: "American foreign policy has meant
billions of dollars for the Rockefellers. It has been paid for in many cases by the blood of our soldiers and in
every case by the sweat of our tax payers". A point further confirmed by Washington reporter Jack Anderson in
1967: "...the State Department has often taken its policies right out of the executive suites of the oil companies.
When Big Oil can't get what it wants in foreign countries, the State Department tries to get it for them. In many
countries, the American Embassies function virtually as branch offices for the Oil combine...The State
Department can be found almost always on the side of the "seven sisters' as the oil giants are known inside the
industry..."
To which Allen further adds: “Just as the Rockefellers make sure that their capos (men) are running "our"
perennial disastrous foreign policy, you can bet your last devalued dollar that the Rockefeller Mafia controls the
national and international money game. The Rockefellers have made the Treasury Department virtually a branch
of Chase Manhattan Bank."
This global control of oil - through the power of money enforced by an army of military bailiffs - began in the
late 1880's with the decision made by Admiral Jack Fisher that the British Fleet would convert to oil as its
primary fuel which, under the policy of "strategic denial", would then belong to Britain and be denied, where
ever possible, to all others.
This policy, proposed by Winston Churchill, was endorsed by a British Royal Commission, which fully agreed
with his policies towards Iraq (Mesopotamia), in 1913.
1947. "Our strategic and security interests throughout the world will be best safeguarded by the establishment in
suitable spots of 'Police Stations', fully equipped to deal with emergencies within a large radius. Kuwait is one
such spot from which Iraq, South Persia, Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf could be controlled. It will be
worthwhile to go to considerable trouble and expense to establish and man a 'Police Station' there." British
Foreign Office, policy memo, 1947
The following confirms what Presidents Jefferson, Lincoln and Jackson feared would happen when
Corporations became "enthroned" and worked upon the prejudices of the people in order to maintain their grip
on power and the world's resources.
1913. "We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated
Governments in the world - no longer a Government of free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and
vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." President
Woodrow Wilson, following the establishment of the privately owned Federal Reserve System in 1913.
1941. "If war aims are stated which seem to be solely concerned with Anglo-American imperialism, they will
offer little to people in the rest of the world. The interests of other peoples should be stressed. This would have a
better propaganda effect" Private memo from The Council of Foreign Relations to the US State Department,
1941
1998. "The U.S.A. has supplied arms, security equipment and training to governments and armed groups that
have committed torture, political killings and other human rights abuses in countries around the world."
Amnesty International ["United States of America - Rights for All] October 1998
If the United Nations continues to fail to exercise its mandate in the interests of the whole of humanity, then its
supporters and critics would appear to be correct in their assessments of its aims and objectives. Furthermore, as
the Rockefellers and Standard Oil provided the land for the United Nations and much of its initial funding it
seems unlikely that their intentions for the organisation were - at any stage - honourable or humanitarian; and
explain why Israel and the United States are never brought to task for their continuous rejection of any U.N.
resolution deemed "hostile to their interests" - For which read Rockefeller, Standard Oil, et al.
David Ben Gurion, Time Magazine, August 16th 1948: "The United Nations is a Jewish Ideal".
Harry Klein, New York Jewish Lawyer: "The United Nations is Zionism". In 'Zionism Rules The World'.
United States Congressman James B. Utt: "The United Nations has strict double standards which guide it
through its devious treacherous path to world domination."
James Paul Warburg, to the United States Senate on February 17th, 1950: "We will have world government,
whether or not we like it. The only question is, whether world government will be achieved by conquest or
consent."
Ramsey Clark the Fonner U.S. Attorney General under President Lyndon Johnson made absolutely clear: "The
greatest crime since World War II has been U.S. foreign policy."
General David Sharp a former United States Marine Commandant 1966: "I believe that if we had and would
keep our dirty, bloody, dollar soaked fingers out of the business of these [Third World] nations so full of
depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own, And if unfortunately their revolution
must be of the violent type because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method, at
least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don't want and above all don't
want crammed down their throats by Americans."
In 1799, Thomas Jefferson gave the following warning, which has been ignored, along with other good advice
right up to the present day: "Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day, but a
series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly
prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery." Subsequently referred to as: "the conspiracy
theory".
If America does not heed these warnings, she may well become, (as predicted by David Ben-Gurion in Look
magazine and Life magazine of January 1962): "A Welfare State with A Planned Economy" with Jerusalem as
the centre of a United Nation's World Government at whose disposal will be a world police force - NATO.
Winston Churchill who openly, and unashamedly declared: "We must become the owners, or at any rate the
controllers at the source, of at least a proportion of the oil which we require...”
This policy, regarding the oilfields of Mesopotamia (present day Iraq) proposed by Churchill in 1913 was fully
endorsed by a British Royal Commission, which completely agreed with his policies. We should not forget the
admission of T.E.Lawrence in his 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' that his "betrayal", of the Arabs, was a "regrettable"
but necessary device in arriving at a "cheap and speedy victory" in order to protect Britain's "petroleum"
interests in "Mesopotamia." Which resulted in the 'Red Line Agreement' and the official carving up of the oil
wealth of the Islamic world following permanent dismemberment of the Turkish Caliphate and the ushering into
existence (through terrorism and deception) the two "Secular: Zionist States of "Modern" Turkey and Israel."
No one, with any real knowledge of the present situation in Afghanistan or the Middle East is under any illusion
that the present crisis is all about oil and other hydrocarbons which is the holy grail or oily grail for the likes of
Bush, Kissinger, Enron, Unocal, and Standard Oil - for which also read Rockefeller, the Council on Foreign
Relations, the U.N. and NATO.
Standard Oil financed both sides during WW. I. When it was over, the British got control of Palestine
from the Arabs. The fake "Jews" in Germany were invited to go and live there but few of them took
up the offer because they had no connection with the Mideast.
World War II changed all that. Standard Oil worked closely with I. G. Farben in Germany. They
manufactured the gas for the ovens. When the war was over, the surviving "Jews' were more than
willing to immigrate to Palestine. The State of "Israel" was officially recognized by the Rockefeller
controlled U.N. on May 14, 1948. The rest is history.
In 1971, Standard Oil controlled President Nixon assassinated the dollar. That means that the Arab
nations could not receive real money of silver and gold for their precious oil. Just 2 years later in 1973,
we have the Arab-Israeli conflict in which the Arab armies were annihilated by the Standard OilPentagon backed Israelis. From that time on, the Arabs had to accept worthless paper while they are
policed by Rockefeller-Pentagon bayonets and the threat of nuclear weapons which the Israelis
possess in abundance.
For 1,500 years prior to Christ the Jews began their new year in the springtime and the Passover was
at the time of the full moon. It was second nature to them . . . almost like breathing . . . Selah.
Knowing the location of their Temple over the Gihon Spring in Jerusalem was also second nature to
them. They could probably find it blindfolded!!
Biblical Jews were mostly soldiers, writers, poets, farmers, musicians, tradesmen, builders, etc., etc.
Very few of them were merchants.
That mighty race disappeared from history after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.C. Most of the smart
ones converted to the Messiah and the rest were exterminated by the Roman wild beast.
The people who call themselves "Jew's" today have no connection with that chosen people. They are
Samaritans, their year begins in the fall and this year they "celebrated" Passover on April 20.
Samaria — home of the phony Jews — was located just North of Jerusalem.
At the time of Christ there were plenty of phony Jews around. They were called Samaritans and lived
north of Jerusalem. One of these Samaritans named Simon had a confrontation with the Apostle Peter
in Acts chapter 8 when he tried to buy the Gift of God with money.
"But Peter said unto him (Simon Magus), Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that
the gift of God may be purchased with money" (Acts 8:20).
This Simon the Sorcerer went to Rome and was honored as a god in that city with a stature being
erected in his honor. This was the beginning of the close relationship between Rome and the phony
Jews.
Josephus, the great Jewish historian mentions the Samaritans.
"When the Jews are in adversity they [the Samaritans] deny that they are kin to them, and THEN
THEY CONFESS THE TRUTH; but when they perceive that some good fortune hath befallen them,
they immediately PRETEND to have communion with them, saying, that they belong to them, and
desire their genealogy from the posterity of Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh And when they see the
Jews in prosperity, they PRETEND they are changed and allied to them, and call them kinsmen, as
though they were derived from Joseph, and had by that means an original alliance with them; but
when they see them falling into a low condition, they say that they are no way related to them, and
that the Jews have no right to expect any kindness or marks of KINDRED from them, but they declare
that they are sojourners, that come from OTHER countries" (Josephus, Antiquities, IX, 14, 3).
When the Jewish wars began around 66 A.C., these Samaritans denied kinship with the real Jews and
thus escaped from the Roman sword.
The world did come to an end in 70 A.C. — for the Jewish nation. Roman General Titus besieged the
city and over 1 million people were killed in the siege. The full account is given by the Jewish
historian Josephus in his Wars of the Jews.
To be a Jew you had to prove ancestry from Abraham or be married to someone who was thus
descended. All the genealogical records were kept in the Temple which was completely destroyed.
The Jews were scattered to the four winds. After the Fall of Rome, they and all the civilizations that
comprised the Empire were swept away forever.

did away with all racial divisions. The new nation was based on grace and not race. . . .
The Jewish nation, beginning with Abraham, had its 2,000 year existence.
After the Fall of Rome, true Christianity moved Westward — to Hibernia and was preserved by the
Scots.
The Books written after the Babylonian Captivity are: Daniel chapters 10, 11, 12, Ezra, Nehemiah,
Esther, Hagai, Zechariah, Malachi. The books of the Apocrypha were also written during that time
but they are not recognized as Canonical — useful only for historical purposes.

Catholic priests examine Dead Sea Scrolls at Rockefeller Museum.
An international team of Catholic "scholars" examine the Dead Sea Scrolls. You can be sure that any
reference to the Mount of Olives as the site of the Resurrection was censored along with any reference
to the true history of St. Peter.
Not all Samaritans were bad. Jesus spoke about a Good Samaritan and many of the Samaritans did
become real Jews by believing in Jesus....Justin Martyr the famous church historian who wrote about
Simon the Sorcerer was also a Samaritan.

The Rockefeller Syndicate
Mullins Chapter 10 http://iresist.com/cbg/rockefeller.html The Rockefeller Syndicate
Many American conservatives believe as a matter of faith that the Rockefellers and the Council on Foreign
Relations exercise absolute control over the government and the people of United States. This thesis can be
accepted as a working formula if one remains conscious of the larger issues. Two writers for whom the present
writer has great respect, Dr. Emanuel Josephson and Morris Bealle, insisted on focusing on the Rockefellers and
excluding all other aspects of the World Order. This severely limited the effect of their otherwise ground
breaking work on the Medical Monopoly.
This writer advanced a contrary view in "The World Order," fixing upon the Rothschild monetary power, which
reached a point of world control by 1885, and its London policy group, the Royal Institute of International
Affairs, a the policy makers for what has essentially been since 1900, re-established colonial government in the
United States The colonial, or occupation, government, functions primarily through the Council on Foreign
Relations, but only as the subsidiary of RIIA and through the Rockefeller Foundation which controls
government functions, the educational establishments, the media, the religions and the state legislatures.
It is true that the American colonials have "free elections", in which they have the absolute right to vote for one
of two opposing candidates, both of whom have been handpicked and financed by the Rockefeller syndicate.
This touching evidence of "democracy" serves to convince most Americana that we are indeed a free people.
We even have a cracked Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to prove it. American youth have been free since 1900 to
be marched off to die in Hegelian wars in which both combatants received their instructions from the World
Order. We are free to invest in a stock market which the daily quantity, price and value of the monetary unit is
manipulated and controlled by a Federal Reserve System which is answerable only to the Bank of England. It
has maintained its vaunted "independence" from our government's control, but this is the only independence it
has ever had.
The realization that we do indeed live under the dictate of the "; Rockefeller Syndicate" can well be the starting
point of the long road back of a genuine struggle for American independence. In exposing "the
Rockefellers" as agents of a foreign power, which is not merely a foreign power, but a genuine world
government, we must realize that this is not merely a group dedicated to making money, but a group which
committed to maintaining the power of a colonial form of government over the American people. Thus the
ancient calumny of John D. Rockefeller as a man obsessed by greed (a category in which he has plenty of
company) obscures the act that from the day the Rothschilds began to finance his march towards a total
oil monopoly in the United States from their coffers at the National City Bank of Cleveland, Rockefeller was
never an independent power, nor does any department of the Rockefeller Syndicate operate as an independent
power.
We know that the Cosa Nostra, or Mafia, with which the Syndicate is closely allied has somewhat autonomous
power in the regions which have been assigned to that particular ";family" by the national directors, but this
always implies that that family remains under total control and answerable for everything which occurs in its
territory.
Similarly, the Rockefeller Syndicate operates under clearly defined spheres of influence. The "charitable"
organizations, the business companies, and the policy groups always meld into a working operation, nor can any
department of the Syndicate strike out on its own or formulate an independent policy, no matter what may be its
justification.
The Rockefeller Syndicate operates under the control of the world financial structure, which means that on any
given day, all of its assets could be rendered close to worthless by adroit financial manipulation ; this is
the final control, which insures that no one can quit the organization. Not only would he be stripped of all
assets, but he would be under contract for immediate assassination. Our Department of Justice is well aware
that the only "terrorists" operating in the United States are the agents of the World Order, but they prudently
avoid any mention of this fact. The world financial structure, far from being an unknown or hidden
organization, is actually well known and well defined.
It consists of the major Swiss Banks; the survivors of the old Venetian-Genoese banking axis; the Big Five of
the world grain trade; the British combine, centered in the Bank of England and its chartered merchant banks,
functioning trough the Rothschilds and the Oppenheimers and having absolute control over their Canadian
colony through the Royal Bank of Canada and the Bank of Montreal, their Canadian lieutenants being the
Bronfmans, Belzbergs, and other financial operators; and the colonial banking structure in the United States,
controlled by the Bank of England through the Federal Reserve System; the Boston Brahmin families who
made their fortunes in the opium trade, including the Delanos and others and the Rockefeller Syndicate,
consisting of the Kissinger network headquartered in the Rockefeller Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, American
Express, the present form of the old Rothschild representatives in the United States, which includes Kuhn, Loeb
Company and Lehman Brothers.
It is notable that the Rockefeller Syndicate is far down on the list of the world's financial structure. Why then is
it of such importance? Although it is not the crucial factor in financial decision in the Western
Hemisphere, it is the actual working control mechanism of the American colony. The Rockefeller family
themselves, like the Morgans, Schiffs and Warburgs, have faded into insignificance, but the mechanism created
in their name roars along at full power, still maintaining all of he functions for
which it was organized. Since he setup the Trilateral Commission, David Rockefeller has functioned as a sort
of international courier for the New World Order, principally concerned with delivering working instructions to
the Communist bloc, either directly, in New York or by traveling to the area.
Lawrence Rockefeller is active in the operation of the Medical Monopoly, but his principal interests are in
operating various vacation spas in tropical areas. They are the two survivors of the "Fortunate Five," the five
sons of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and Abby Aldrich.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
died in an institution in Tucson, Arizona and was hastily cremated. John D. Rockefeller III died in a mysterious
accident on a New York Parkway near his home. Nelson Rockefeller, named after his grandfather, died in the
arms of a TV journalist; it was later revealed that he had also been in the arms of another TV journalist at the
same time; the death was hushed up for many hours. It is generally believed hat he ran afoul of his
Colombian drug connection, the disagreement hardly being trivial; it involved several billion dollars in drug
profits which had not been properly apportioned. Winthrop Rockefeller died an alcoholic in the arms of his
black boy friend. He had been interviewed on television by Harry Reasoner to explain his hasty move from
New York to Arkansas. Winthrop leered that his black boy friend, an Army sergeant who apparently taught him
the mysteries of drill, refused to live in New York. To celebrate this alliance, Winthrop Rockefeller gave
magnificently to Negro causes, including the Urban League building on East 48th Street in New York. A plaque
on the second floor notes that it was his gift; it might well have stated "From Hadrian to his Antinous".
We do not wish to imply that the Rockefellers no longer have influence, but that the major policy dictates of the
Rockefeller Syndicate are handed down by other capos, of which they continue to be a visible force. Through
the person of David Rockefeller, the family is sometimes called "the first family of the Soviet Union." Only he
and Dr. Armand Hammer, the moving force behind USTEC, have permanent permission to land their private
planes at the Moscow Airport. Others would suffer the fate of KAL 007.
Both the Rockefeller family fortune and the considerable portion set aside in the foundations of the Rockefeller
Syndicate are effectively insulated against any type of government control. Fortune magazine noted August 4,
1986, that John D. Rockefeller, Jr. had created trusts in 1934 which now amounted to some $2.3 billion;
another $200 million had been set aside for the Abby Rockefeller branch. The five sons had trusts which in
1986 amount to $2.1 billion. These trusts had originally amounted to only $50 million
each, showing the increase in their assets as well as inflation during the ensuing half century. Fortune estimated
the 1986 total Rockefeller wealth as $3.5 billion, of which $900 million was in securities and real estate. They
owned 45% of the Time Life Building; Nelson Rockefeller's International Basic Economy Corporation had been
sold to a British company in 1980.
For years, the Rockefeller family had deliberately kept the rents low in its major holding, the Rockefeller
Center, a $1.6 billion investment yielding an annual return of 1%. This was a convenient maneuver, for tax
purposes. Rockefeller Center recently went public issuing stock which was sold to public buyers. The
Rockefellers are rumored to be liquidating their investments in the New York area, and reinvesting in the West,
particularly in the area around Phoenix, Arizona.
It is possible that they know
something we don't.
However much of the Rockefeller wealth may be attributed to old John D's rapacity and ruthlessness, its origins
are indubitably based in his initial financing from the National City Bank of Cleveland, which was identified in
Congressional reports as one of the three Rothschild banks in the United States and by his later acceptance of
the guidance of Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, who had been born in the Rothschild house in
Frankfort and was now the principal Rothschild representative (but unknown as such to the
public) in the United States.
With the seed money from the National City Bank of Cleveland, old John D. Rockefeller soon laid claim to the
title of "the most ruthless American". It is more than likely that it was this quality which persuaded the
Rothschilds to back him. Rockefeller realized early in the game that the oil refinery business, which could offer
great profits in a short time, also was at the mercy of uncontrolled competition. His solution was a simple
one-crush all competition. The famous Rockefeller dedication to total monopoly was simply a business
decision. Rockefeller embarked on a campaign of coercing all competing oil refineries out of business. He
attacked on a number of fronts, which is also a lesson to all would be entrepreneurs. First, he would send a
minion, not known to be working for Rockefeller, with an offer to buy the competing refinery for a low price,
but offering cash. If the offer was refused, the competitor would then come under attack from a competing
refinery which greatly undercut his price. He might also suffer a sudden strike at his refinery, which would force
him to shut down. Control of labor through unions has always been a basic Rockefeller technique. Like the
Soviet Union, they seldom have labor trouble. If these techniques failed, Rockefeller would then be saddened
by a reluctant decision to use violence; beating the rival workers as they went to and from their jobs, or burning
or blowing up the competing refinery.
These techniques convinced the Rothschilds that they had found their man. They sent their personal
representative, Jacob Schiff, to Cleveland to help Rockefeller plan further expansion. At this time, the
Rothschilds controlled 95% of all railroad mileage in the United States, through the J.P. Morgan Company and
Kuhn Loeb & Company according to official Department of Commerce figures for the year 1895. J.P.Morgan
mentions in his Who's Who listing that he controlled 50,000 miles of U.S. railways. Schiff worked out an
elaborate rebate deal for Rockefeller, through a dummy corporation, South Improvement Company. These
rebates ensured that no other oil company could survive in competition with the Rockefeller firm. The scheme
was later exposed, but by that time Rockefeller had achieved a virtual monopoly of the oil business in the
United States. The daughter of one of his victims, Ida Tarbell, whose father was ruined by Rockefeller's
criminal operations, wrote the first major expose of the Standard Oil Trust She was promptly denounced as a
"muckraker" by the poseur, Theodore Roosevelt, who claimed to be a "trust buster". In fact, he ensured the
dominance of the Standard Oil Trust and other giant trusts.
During the next half century, John D. Rockefeller was routinely caricatured by socialist propagandists as the
epitome of the ruthless capitalist. At the same time, he was the principal financier of the world Communist
movement, through a firm called American International Company Despite the fact that the House of
Rothschild had already achieved world control, the sound and fury was directed exclusively against its two
principal, representatives, John D. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. One of the few revelations of the actual state of
affairs appeared in Truth magazine, December 16, 1912, which pointed out that "Mr. Schiff is head of the great
private banking house of Kuhn, Loeb &Company, which represents the Rothschild interests on this side of the
Atlantic. He is described as a financial strategist and has been for years the financial minister of the
great impersonal power known as Standard Oil." Note that this editor did not even mention the name of
Rockefeller.
Because of these concealed factors, it was a relatively simple matter for the American public to accept the "fact"
that the Rockefellers were the preeminent power in this country. This myth was actually clothed in the
apparel of power, the Rockefeller Oil Trust becoming the "military-industrial complex" which assumed political
control of the nation; the Rockefeller Medical Monopoly attained control of the health care of the nation, and
the Rockefeller Foundation, a web of affiliated tax exempt creations, effectively controlled the religious and
educational life of the nation. The myth succeeded in its goal of camouflaging the hidden rulers,
the Rothschilds.
After the present writer had been exposing this charade for some twenty-five years, a new myth began to be
noised about in American conservative circles, effectively propagated by active double agents. This myth found
a host of eager believers, because it heralded a growing crack in the monolithic power which had been
oppressing all the peoples of the world. This new "revelation" was that a struggle to the death for world power
had developed between the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. According to this startling
development, one faction or the other, depending on which agent you were listening to, had gained control of
the Soviet Union and would use its power as the basis for achieving the overthrow of the other faction. The
sudden death of several members of the Rockefeller family was cited as "proof" that such a struggle was taking
place, although no Rothschild is known to have succumbed during this "war". This ignored the general
understanding that Nelson Rockefeller had been "eliminated" as the result of losing deposit
slips for several billion dollars of drugs from the Colombian cartel, or that the other Rockefeller deaths showed
no trace of a "Rothschild connection".
Having maintained extensive files on this situation for several decades, the present writer could not believe
anyone could be so misinformed as to think that "the Rockefellers" were now trying to seize power from the
Rothschilds, at a time when the influence of members of the Rockefeller family was
already in great decline, their family finances being handled by J. Richardson Dilworth, their legal affairs being
handled by John J. McCloy, and other faithful retainers; none of these retainers would have been
willing to engage in a genuine power struggle, as they were faceless managers who lived only for their weekly
paycheck. They had no ambitions of their own. Nevertheless, many hopeful Americans grasped the
will-o-the-wisp notion that the Rockefellers were now "good Americans" who were willing to risk all to
overthrow the Rothschilds. Amazingly enough, this pernicious story persisted for almost a decade before being
relegated to the curiosities of history.
Like J.P. Morgan, who had begun his commercial career by selling the U.S. Army some defective guns, the
famous fall carbine affair, John D. Rockefeller also was a war profiteer during the Civil War; he sold
unstamped Harkness liquor to Federal troops at a high profit, gaining the initial capital to embark on his drive
for monopoly. His interest in the oil business was a natural one; his father, William Rockefeller had been "in
oil" for years. William Rockefeller had become an oil entrepreneur after salt wells at Tarentum, near Pittsburgh,
were discovered in 1842 to be flowing with oil. The owners of the wells, Samuel L. Kier, began to bottle the oil
and sell it for medicinal purposes. One of his earliest wholesalers was William Rockefeller. The "medicine"
was originally labeled "Kier's Magic Oil". Rockefeller printed his own labels, using "Rock Oil" or "Seneca
Oil," Seneca being the name of a well known Indian tribe. Rockefeller achieved his greatest notoriety and his
greatest profits by advertising himself as "William Rockefeller, the Celebrated Cancer
Specialist". It is understandable that his grandsons would become the controlling power behind the scenes of
the world's most famous cancer treatment center and would direct government funds and charitable
contributions to those areas which only benefit the Medical Monopoly.
William Rockefeller spared no claim in his flamboyant career. He guaranteed "All Cases of Cancer Cured
Unless They Are Too Far Gone." Such were the healing powers that he attributed to his magic cancer cure that
he vas able to retail it for $25 a bottle, a sum then equivalent to two months'
wages. The "cure" consisted of a few well known diuretics, which had been diluted by water. This carnival
medicine show barker could hardly have envisioned that his descendants would control the greatest and the
most profitable Medical Monopoly in recorded history.
As an itinerant "carnie," a traveling carnival peddler, William Rockefeller had chosen a career which interfered
with developing a stable family life. His son John rarely saw him, a circumstance which has inspired some
psychological analysts a conjecture that the absence of a father figure or parental love may have contributed to
John D. Rockefeller's subsequent development as a money mad tyrant who plotted to maim, poison and kill
millions of his fellow American during almost century of his monopolistic operations and whose influence,
reaching up from the grave, remains the most dire and malignant presence in American life. This may have
been a contributing factor-however, it is also possible that he was totally evil. It is hardly arguable that he is
probably the most Satanic figure in American history.
It has long been a truism that you can find a horse thief or two in any prominent American family. In the
Rockefeller family it was more than a truism. William seems to have faithfully followed the precepts of the
Will of Canaan throughout his career, "love robbery, love lechery." He fled from a number of indictments for
horse stealing, finally disappearing altogether as William Rockefeller and re-emerging as Dr. William
Levingston of Philadelphia, a name which he retained for the rest of his life. An investigative reporter at Joseph
Pulitzer's New York World received a tip that was followed up. The World then disclosed that William Avery
Rockefeller had died May 11, 1906 in Freeport, Illinois, where he was interred in an unmarked grave as Dr.
William Levingston.
William Rockefeller's vocation as a medicine man greatly facilitated his preferred profession of horse thief. As
one who planned to be in the next county by morning, it was a simple matter to tie a handsome stallion to the
back of his wagon and head for the open road. It also played a large part in his vocation as a woman-chaser; he
was described as being "woman-mad". He not only concluded several bigamous marriages, but he seems to
have had uncontrolled passions. On June 28, 1849, he was indicted for raping a hired girl in Cayuga, New
York; he later was found to be residing in Oswego, New York and was forced once again to decamp for parts
unknown. He had no difficulty in financing his woman-chasing interests from the sale of his miraculous cancer
cure and from another product, his "Wonder Working Liniment," which he offered at only two dollars a bottle. It
consisted of crude petroleum from which the lighter oils had been boiled away, leaving a
heavy solution of paraffin, lube oil and tar, which comprised the "liniment." William Rockefeller's original
miracle oil survived until quite recently as a concoction called Nujol, consisting principally of petroleum
and peddled as a laxative. It was well known that Nujol was merely advertising sobriquet meaning "new oil," as
opposed, apparently, to "old oil". Sold as an antidote to constipation, it robbed the body of fat-soluble
vitamins, it being a well-established medical fact that mineral oil coated the intestine and prevented the
absorption of many needed vitamins and other nutritional needs. Its makers added carotene as a sop to the
health-conscious, but it was hardly worth the bother. Nujol was manufactured by a subsidiary of Standard Oil
of New Jersey, called Stanco, whose only other product, manufactured on the same premises, was the famous
insecticide, Flit.
Nujol was hawked from the Senate Office Building in Washington for years during a more liberal interpretation
of "conflict of interest." In this case, it was hardly a conflict of interest, because the august peddler, Senator
Royal S. Copeland, never had any interests other than serving the Rockefellers. He was a physician whom
Rockefeller had appointed as head of the New York State Department of Health and later financed his campaign
for the Senate. Copeland's frank display of commercialism amazed even the most blasé Washington reporters.
He devoted his Senate career to a daily program advertising Nujol. A microphone was set up in his Senate
office each morning, the first order of business being the Nujol program, for which he was paid $75,000 a year,
an enormous salary in the 1930s and more than the salary of the President of the United States. Senator
Copeland's exploits earned him a number of nicknames on Capitol Hill. He was often called the
Senator from the American Medical Association, because of his enthusiastic backing for any program launched
by the AMA and Morris Fishbein. More realistically, he was usually referred to as "the Senator from Standard
Oil". He could be counted on to promote any legislation devised for the greater profit of the Rockefeller
monopoly. During congressional debate on the Food and Drug Act in 1938, he came under criticism from
Congresswoman Leonor Sullivan, who charged that Senator Copeland, a physician who handled the bill on the
Senate floor, frankly acknowledged during the debate that soap was exempted from the law, because the soap
manufacturers, who were the nation's largest advertisers, would otherwise join with other big industries to fight
the bill. Congresswoman Sullivan complained the "Soap was officially declared in the law not to be a
cosmetic... The hair dye manufacturers were given license to market known dangerous products, just so long as
they placed a special warning on the label-but what woman in a beauty parlor ever sees the label on the bulk
container in which hair dye is shipped?"
Just as the elder Rockefeller had spent his life in the pursuit of his personal obsession, omen, so his son John
was equally obsessed, being money-mad instead of women-mad, totally committed to the pursuit of everincreasing wealth and power. However, the principal accomplishments of the Rockefeller drive for power, the
rebate scheme for monopoly, the chartering of the foundations to gain power over American citizens, the
creation of the central bank, the Federal Reserve System, the backing of the World Communist revolution and
the creation of the Medical Monopoly, all came from the Rothschilds or from their European employees. We
cannot find in the records of John D. Rockefeller that he originated any one of these
programs. The concept of the tax exempt charitable foundation originated with the Rothschild minion, George
Peabody, in 1865. The Peabody Educational Foundation later became the Rockefeller Foundation. It is
unlikely that even the diabolical mind of John D. Rockefeller could have conceived of this devious twist. A
social historian has described the major development of the late nineteenth century, when charitable foundations
and world Communism became important movements, as one of the more interesting facets of history, perhaps
equivalent to the discovery of the wheel. This new discovery was the concept developed by the rats, which after
all have rather highly developed intelligence's, that they could trap people by baiting traps with little bits of
cheese. The history of mankind since then has been the rats catching humans in their traps.
Socialism-indeed any government program-is simply the rat baiting the trap with a smidgen of cheese and
catching himself a human.
Congressman Wright Patman, chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, noted from the floor of
Congress that the establishment of the Rockefeller Foundation effectively insulated Standard Oil from
competition. The controlling stock had been removed from market manipulation or possible buy-outs by
competitors. It also relieved Standard Oil from most taxation, which then placed a tremendous added burden on
individual American taxpayers. Although a Rockefeller relative by marriage, Senator Nelson Aldrich,
Republican majority leader in the Senate, had pushed the General Education Board charter through Congress,
the Rockefeller Foundation charter proved to be more difficult. Widespread criticism of Rockefeller's
monopolistic practices was heard, and his effort to insulate his profits from taxation or takeover was seen for
what it was. The charter was finally pushed through in 1913 (the significant Masonic numeral 13-1913 was also
the year the progressive income tax and of the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act). Senator Robert F. Wagner
of New York, another senator from Standard Oil (there were quite a few), ramrodded the Congressional
approval of the charter
The charter was then signed by John D. Rockefeller, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., Henry Pratt Judson, president of the Rockefeller established University of Chicago, Simon
Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute, Starr Jameson, described in Who's Who as "personal
counsel to John D. Rockefeller in his benevolences," and Charles W Eliot, president of Harvard University.
The Rockefeller Oil Monopoly is now 125 years old, yet in 1911, the Supreme Court, bowing to public outrage,
had ruled that it had to be broken up. The resulting companies proved to be no problem for the Rockefeller
interests. The family retained a two per cent holding in each of the "new" companies, while the Rockefeller
foundations took a three per cent stock holding in each company. This gave them a five per cent stock interest
in each company; a one per cent holding in a corporation is usually sufficient to maintain working control.
The involvement of the Rockefellers in promoting the world Communist Revolution also developed from their
business interests. There was never any commitment to the Marxist ideology; like anything else, it was there
to be used. At the turn of the century Standard Oil was competing fiercely with Royal Dutch Shell for control
of the lucrative European market. Congressional testimony revealed that Rockefeller had sent large sums to
Lenin and Trotsky to instigate the Communist Revolution of 1905. His banker, Jacob Schiff, had previously
financed the Japanese in their war against Russia and had sent a personal emissary, George Kennan to Russia to
spend some twenty years in promoting revolutionary activity against the Czar. When the Czar abdicated,
Trotsky was placed on a ship with three hundred Communist revolutionaries from the Lower East Side of New
York. Rockefeller obtained a special passport for Trotsky from Woodrow Wilson and
sent Lincoln Steffens with him to make sure he was returned safely to Russia. For traveling expenses,
Rockefeller placed a purse containing $10,000 in Trotsky's pocket.
On April 13, 1917, when the ship stopped in Halifax, Canadian Secret Service officers immediately arrested
Trotsky and interned him in Nova Scotia. The case became an international cause celebre, as leading
government officials from several nations frantically demanded Trotsky's release. The Secret Service had been
tipped off that Trotsky was on his way to take Russia out of the war, freeing more German armies to attack
Canadian troops on the Western Front. Prime Minister Lloyd George hurriedly cabled orders from London to
the Canadian Secret Service to free Trotsky at once--they ignored him. Trotsky was finally freed by the
intervention of one of Rockefeller's most faithful stooges, Canadian Minister Mackenzie King, who had long
been a "labor specialist" for the Rockefellers. King personally obtained Trotsky's release and sent him on his
way as the emissary of the Rockefellers, commissioned to win the Bolshevik Revolution. Thus Dr. Armand
Hammer, who loudly proclaims his influence in Russia as the friend of Lenin, has an insignificant claim
compared to the role of the Rockefellers in backing world Communism. Although Communism, like other
isms, had originated with Marx's association with the House of Rothschild, it enlisted the reverent support of
John D. Rockefeller because he saw Communism for what it is, the ultimate monopoly, not only controlling the
government, the monetary system and all property, but also a monopoly which, like the corporations it emulates,
is self-perpetuating and eternal It was the logical progression from his Standard Oil monopoly.
An important step on the road to world monopoly was the most far-reaching corporation invented by the
Rothschilds. This was the international drug and chemical cartel, I.G. Farben. Called "a state within a state," it
was created in 1925 as Interessen Gemeinschaft Farbenindustrie Aktien gesellschaft, usually known as I.G.
Farben, which simply meant "The Cartel". It had originated in 1904, when the six major chemical companies in
Germany began negotiations to form the ultimate cartel, merging Badische Anilin, Bayer, Agfa, Hoechst,
Weiler-ter-Meer, and Greisheim-Electron. The guiding spirit, as well as the financing, came from the
Rothschilds, who were represented by their German banker, Max Warburgs, of M.M. Warburg Company,
Hamburg. He later headed the German Secret Service during World War I and was personal financial adviser to
the Kaiser. When the Kaiser was overthrown, after losing the war, Max Warburg was not exiled with him to
Holland; instead he became the financial adviser to the new government. Monarchs may come and go, but the
real power remains with the Bankers. While representing Germany at the Paris Peace Conference, Max Warburg
spent pleasant hours renewing family ties with his brother, Paul Warburg, who, after drafting the Federal
Reserve Act at Jekyll Island, had headed the U.S. banking system during the war. He was in Paris as Woodrow
Wilson's financial advisor.
I.G. Farben soon had a net worth of six billion marks, controlling some five hundred firms. Its first president
was Professor Carl Bosch. During the period of the Weimar Republic, I.G. officials, seeing the handwriting on
the wall, began a close association with Adolf Hitler, supplying much needed funds and political influence. The
success of the I.G. Farben cartel had aroused the interest of other industrialists. Henry Ford was favorably
impressed and set up a German branch of Ford Motor Company. Forty per cent of the stock was purchased by
I.G. Farben. I.G. Farben then established an American subsidiary, called American I.G., in cooperation with
Standard Oil of New Jersey. Its directors included Walter Teagle, president of Standard Oil, Paul Warburg of
Kuhn Loeb & Company and Edsel Ford, representing the Ford interests. John Foster Dulles, for the law firm,
Sullivan and Cromwell, became the attorney for I.G., frequently traveling between New York and Berlin on
cartel business. His law partner, Arthur Dean, is now director of the $40 million Teagle Foundation which was
set up before Teagle's death. Like other fortunes it had become part of the network. Like John Foster Dulles,
Arthur Dean has been a director of American Banknote for many years; this is the firm which supplies the paper
for our dollar bills. Dean also has been an active behind the scenes government negotiator, serving as arms
negotiator at disarmament conferences. Dean was also a director of Rockefeller's American Ag & Chem
Company. He was a director of American Solvay, American Metal and other firms. As attorney for the wealthy
Hochschild family, who owned Climax Molybdenum and American Metal, Dean became director of their
family foundation, the Hochschild Foundation. Dean is director emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations,
the
Asia
Foundation,
International
House,
Carnegie
Foundation,
and
the
Sloan
Kettering Cancer Center.
In 1930, Standard Oil announced that it had purchased an alcohol monopoly in Germany, a deal which had been
set up by I.G. Farben. After Hitler came to power, John D. Rockefeller assigned his personal press agent, Ivy
Lee, to Hitler to serve as a full-time adviser on the rearmament of Germany, a necessary step for setting up
World War II. Standard Oil then built large refineries in Germany for the Nazis and continued to supply them
with oil during World War II. In the 1930s Standard Oil was receiving in payment from Germany large
shipments of musical instruments and ships which had been built in German yards.
The dreaded Gestapo, the Nazi police force, was actually built from the worldwide intelligence network which
I.G. Farben had maintained since its inception. Herman Schmitz, who had succeeded Carl Bosch as head of
I.G., has been personal advisor to chancellor Brüning; when Hitler took over, Schmitz then became his most
trusted secret counselor. So well concealed was the association that the press had orders never to photograph
them together. Schmitz was named an honorary member of the Reichstag, while his
assistant, Carl Krauch, became Göring's principal advisor in carrying out the Nazis' Four Year Plan a business
associate, Richard Krebs, later testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, "The I.G.
Farbenindustrie, I know from personal experience, was already, in 1934, completely in the hands of the
Gestapo." This was a misstatement; the I.G. Farben had merely allied itself with the Gestapo.
In 1924 Krupp Industries was in serious financial difficulty; the firm was saved by a $10 million cash loan from
Hallgarten & Company and Goldman Sachs, two of Wall Street's best known firms. The planned re-armament
of Germany was able to proceed only after Dillon Read floated $100 million of German bonds on Wall Street
for that purpose & nubs; it was hardly surprising that at the conclusion of the Second World War, General
William Draper was appointed Economic Czar of Germany, being named head of the
Economic Division of the Allied Military Government. He was a partner of Dillon Read.
In 1939 Frank Howard, a vice-president of Standard Oil visited Germany. He later testified, "We did our best to
work out complete plans for a modus vivendi which would operate throughout the term of the war, whether we
came in or not." At this time American I.G. had on its board of directors Charles Mitchell, president of the
National City Bank, the Rockefeller bank, Carl Bosch, Paul Warburg, Herman Schmitz and Schmitz' nephew,
Max Ilgner.
Although his name is hardly known, Frank Howard was for many years a key figure in Standard Oil operations
as director of its research and its international agreements. He also was chairman of the research committee at
Sloan Kettering Institute during the 1930s; his appointee at Sloan Kettering, Dusty Rhoads, headed the
experimentation in the development of chemotherapy. During the Second World War Rhoads headed the
Chemical Warfare Service in Washington at U.S. Army Headquarters. It was Frank
Howard who had persuaded both Alfred Sloan and Charles Kettering of General Motors in 1939 to give their
fortunes to the Cancer Center, which then took on their names. A member of the wealthy Atherton family,
Frank Howard (1891-1964) had married a second time, his second wife being a leading member of the British
aristocracy, the Duchess of Leeds. The first Duke of Leeds was titled in 1694, Sir Thomas Osborne, who was
one of the key conspirators in the overthrow of King James II and the seizure of the throne of England by
William III in 1688 ; Osborne had made peace with Holland during the reign of King Charles II, and singlehandedly promoted the marriage of Mary, daughter of the Duke of York, to William of Orange in 1677.
The Dictionary of National Biography notes that Osborne "for five years managed the House of Commons by
corruption and enriched himself." He was impeached by King Charles II for treasonous negotiations with King
Louis XIV and imprisoned in the Tower of London from 1678 to 1684. After his
release, he again became active in the conspiracy to bring in William of Orange as King of England and secured
the crucial province of York for him. William then created him Duke of Leeds. The placing of William on the
throne of England made it possible for the conspirators to implement the crucial step in their plans, setting up
the Bank of England in 1694. This enabled the Amsterdam Bankers to gain control of the wealth of the British
Empire. Osborne's biography also notes that he was later accused of Jacobite intrigues and was impeached for
receiving a large bribe to procure the charter for the East India Company in 1695, but "the proceedings were
not concluded". It was further noted that he "left a large fortune".
The 11th Duke of Leeds was Minister to Washington from 1931 to 1935, Minister to the Holy See from 1936 to
1947, that is, throughout the Second World War. One branch of the family married into the Delano family,
becoming relatives of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. A cousin, Viscount Chandos, was a prominent British
official, serving in the War Cabinet under Churchill from 1942 to 1945, later becoming a director of the
Rothschild firm, Alliance Assurance, and Imperial Chemical Industries.
Frank Howard was the key official in maintaining relations between Standard Oil and I.G. Farben. He led in the
development of synthetic rubber, which was crucial to Germany in the Second World War; he later wrote a
book, "Buna Rubber". He also was the consultant to the drug firm, Rohm and Haas,
representing the Rockefeller connection with that firm. In his later years, he resided in Paris, but continued to
maintain his office at 30 Rockefeller Center, New York.
Walter Teagle, the president of Standard Oil, owned 500,000 shares of American I.G., these shares later
becoming the basis of the Teagle Foundation. Herman Metz, who was also a director of American I.G., was
president of H.A. Metz Company, New York, a drug firm wholly owned by I.G Farben of Germany. Francis
Garvan, who had served as Alien Property Custodian during the First World War, knew many secrets of I.G.
Farben's operations. He was prosecuted in 1929 to force him to remain silent. The action was brought by the
Department of Justice through Attorney General Merton Lewis, the former counsel for Bosch Company. John
Krim, former counsel for the German Embassy in the United States, testified that Senator John King had been
on the payroll of the Hamburg American Line for three years at a salary of fifteen thousand dollars a year; he
appointed Otto Kahnmas treasurer of his election fund; Homer Cummings, who had been Attorney General for
six years, then became counsel for General Aniline and Film at a salary of $100,000 a year. During the Second
World War, GAF was supposedly owned by a Swiss firm; it came under considerable suspicion as an "enemy"
concern and was finally taken over by the United States government.
John Foster Dulles had been director of GAF from 1927 to 1934; he was also a director of International Nickel,
which was part of the network of I.G Farben firms. Dulles was related to the Rockefeller family through the
Avery connection. He was attorney for the organization of a new investment firm, set up by Avery Rockefeller,
in 1936 which was called Schröder-Rockefeller Company. It combined operations of the Schröder Bank,
Hitler's personal bank and the Rockefeller interests. Baron Kurt von Schröder was one of Hitler's closest
confidantes, and a leading officer of the SS. He was head of the Keppler Associates, which funneled money to
the SS for leading German Corporations. Keppler was the official in charge of Industrial Fats during Göring's
Four Year Plan, which was launched in 1936. American I.G. changed its name to General Aniline and Film
during the Second World War, but it was still wholly owned by I.G. Chemie of Switzerland, a subsidiary of I.G.
Farben of Germany. It was headed by Gadow, brother-in-law of Herman Schmitz. I.G. Farben's international
agreements directly affected the U.S. war effort, because they set limits on U.S. supplies of magnesium,
synthetic rubber and, crucial medical supplies. The director of I.G. Farben's dyestuffs division, Baron George
von Schnitzler, was related to the powerful von Rath family, the J.H. Stein Bankhaus which held Hitler's
account and the von Mallinckrodt family, the founders of the drug firm in the United States. Like other I.G.
officials, he had become an enthusiastic supporter of the Hitler regime. I.G. Farben gave four and a half million
Reich marks to the Nazi Party in 1933; by 1945, I.G. had given the Party 40 million Reich marks, a sum which
equaled all contributions by I.G. to all other recipients during that period. One scholar of the Nazi era, Anthony
Sutton, has focused heavily on German, supporters of Hitler, while ignoring the crucial role played by the Bank
of England and its Governor, Sir Montague Norman, in financing the Nazi regime.; Sutton's position on this
problem may have been influenced by the fact that he is British. In view of the outspoken statements from
Adolf Hitler about Jewish influence in Germany, it would be difficult to explain the role of I.G. Farben in the
Nazi era. Peter Hayes' definitive study of I.G. Farben shows that in 1933 it had ten Jews on its governing
boards. We have previously pointed out that I.G., from its inception was a Rothschild concern, formulated by
the House of Rothschild and implemented through its agents, Max Warburg in Germany and Standard Oil in the
United States.
Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands joined the SS during the early 1930s. He then joined the board of an I.G.
subsidiary, Farben Bilder, from which he took the name of his postwar super-secret policy making group, the
Bilderbergers. Farben executives played an important role in organizing the Circle of Friends for Heinrich
Himmler, although it was initially known as Keppler's Circle of Friends, Keppler being the chairman of an I.G.
subsidiary. His nephew, Fritz J. Kranefuss, was the personal assistant to Heinrich Himmler. Of the forty
members of the Circle of Friends, which provided ample funds for Himmler, eight were executives of I.G.
Farben or of its subsidiaries.
Despite the incredible devastation of most German cities from World War II air bombings, the I.G. Farben
building in Frankfort, one of the largest buildings there, miraculously survived intact. A large Rockefeller
mansion in Frankfort also was left untouched by the war, despite the saturation bombing. Frankfort was the
birthplace of the Rothschild family. It was hardly coincidental that the postwar government of Germany, Allied
Military Government, should set up its offices in the magnificent I.G. Farben building. This government was
headed by General Lucius Clay, who later became a partner of Lehman Brothers Bankers in New York. The
Political Division was headed by Robert Murphy, who would preside at the Nüremberg Trials, where he was
successful in glossing over the implication of I.G. Farben officials and Baron Kurt von Schröder. Schröder was
held a short time in a detention camp and then set free to return to his banking business; The Economic Division
was headed by Lewis Douglas, son of the founder of Memorial Cancer center in New York, president of Mutual
Life and director of General Motors. Douglas was slated to become U.S. High Commissioner for Germany, but
he agreed to step aside in favor of his brother-in-law, John J. McCloy. By an interesting circumstance, Douglas,
McCloy and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of Germany had all married sisters, the daughters of John Zinsser, a
partner of J.P. Morgan Company.
As the world's pre-eminent cartel, I.G. Farben and the drug companies which it controlled in the United States
through the Rockefeller interests were responsible for many inexplicable developments in the production and
distribution of drugs. From 1908 to 1936 I.G. held back its discovery of sulfanilamide, which would become a
potent weapon in the medical arsenal. In 1920, I.G. had signed working agreements with the important drug
firms of Switzerland, Sandoz and Ciba-Geigy. In 1926, I.G. merged with Dynamit-Nobel, the German branch
of the dynamite firm, while an English firm took over the English division. I.G. officials then began to
negotiate with Standard Oil officials about the prospective manufacture of synthetic coal, which would present a
serious threat to Standard Oil's monopoly. A compromise was reached with the establishment of American I.G.,
in which both firms would play an active role and share in the profits.
Charles Higham's book, "Trading with the Enemy," offers ample documentation of the Rockefeller activities
during the Second World War. While Hitler's bombers were dropping tons of explosives on London, they were
paying royalties on every gallon of gasoline they burned to Standard Oil, under existing patent agreements.
After World War II, when Queen Elizabeth visited the United States, she stayed in only one private home during
her visit, the Kentucky estate of William Irish, of Standard Oil. Nelson Rockefeller moved to Washington after
our involvement in World War II, where Roosevelt named him Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs.
Apparently his principal task was to coordinate the refueling of German ships in South America from Standard
Oil tanks. He also used this office to obtain important South American concessions for his private firm,
International Basic Economy Corporation, including a corner on the Colombian coffee market. He promptly
upped the price, a move which enabled him to buy seven billion dollars worth of real estate in South America
and also gave rise to the stereotype of the "Yanqui imperialismo".
The attack on Vice President Nixon's automobile when he visited South America was explained by American
officials as a direct result of the depredations of the Rockefellers, which caused widespread agitation against
Americans in Latin America.
After World War II, twenty-four German executives were prosecuted by the victors, all of them connected with
I.G. Farben, including eleven officers of I.G. Eight were acquitted, including Max Ilgner, nephew of Herman
Schmitz. Schmitz received the most severe sentence, eighty years. Ilgner actually received three years, but the
time was credited against his time in jail waiting for trial, and he was immediately released. The Judge was
C.G. Shake and the prosecuting attorney was Al Minskoff.
The survival of I.G. Farben was headlined by the Wall Street Journal on May 3, 1988-GERMANY BEATS
WORLD IN CHEMICAL SALES Reporter Thomas F. O'Boyle listed the world's top five chemical companies
in 1987 as 1. BASF $25.8 billion dollars. 2. Bayer $23.6 billion dollars. 3. Hoechst $23.5 billion dollars. 4.
ICI $20 billion dollars. 5. DuPont $17 billion dollars in chemical sales only.
The first three companies are the firms resulting from the "dismantling" of I.G. Farben from 1945 to 1952 by
the Allied Military Government, in a process suspiciously similar to the "dismantling" of the Standard Oil
Empire by court edict in 1911. The total sales computed in dollars of the three spin-offs of I.G. Farben, some
$72 billion, dwarfs its nearest rivals, ICI and DuPont, who together amount to about half of the Farben empire's
dollar sales in 1987.
Hoechst bought Celanese corp.
in 1987 for $2.72 billion.
O'Boyle notes that "The Big Three (Farben spin-offs) still behave like a cartel. Each dominates specific areas;
head to head competition is limited. Critics suspect collusion. At the least, there's a coziness that doesn't exist
in the U.S. chemical industry."
After the war, Americans were told they must support an "altruistic" plan to rebuild devastated Europe, to be
called the Marshall Plan, after Chief of Staff George Marshall, who had been labeled on the floor of the Senate
by Senator Joseph McCarthy as "a living lie". The Marshall Plan proved to be merely another Rockefeller Plan
to loot the American taxpayer. On December 13, 1948, Col. Robert McCormick, editor of the Chicago Tribune,
personally denounced Esso's looting of the Marshall Plan in a signed editorial. The Marshall Plan had been
rushed through Congress by a powerful and vocal group, headed by Winthrop Aldrich, president of the Chase
Manhattan Bank and Nelson Rockefeller's brother-in-law, ably seconded by Nelson Rockefeller and William
Clayton, the head of Anderson, Clayton Company. The Marshall Plan proved to be but one of a number of
lucrative postwar swindles, which included the Bretton Woods Agreement, United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation and others.
After World War II, the Rockefellers used their war profits to buy a large share of Union Miniere du Haut
Katanga, an African copper lode owned by Belgian interest, including the Societe Generale, a Jesuit controlled
bank. Soon after their investment, the Rockefellers launched a bold attempt to seize total control of the mines
through sponsoring a local revolution, using as their agent the Grangesberg operation. This enterprise had
originally been developed by Sir Ernest Cassel, financial advisor to King Edward VII-Cassel's daughter later
married Lord Mountbatten, a member of the British royal family, who was also related to the Rothschilds.
Grangesberg was now headed by Bo Hammarskjold, whose brother, Dag Hammarskjold was then Secretary
General of the United Nations-Bo Hammarskjold became a casualty of the Rockefeller revolution when his
plane was shot down during hostilities in the Congo; various stories have since circulated about who killed him
and why he was killed. The Rockefeller intervention in the Congo was carried out by their able lieutenants,
Dean Rusk and George Ball of the State Department and by Fowler Hamilton.
In the United States, the Rockefeller interests continue to play the major political role. Old John D.
Rockefeller's treasurer at Standard Oil, Charles Pratt, bequeathed his New York mansion to the Council on
Foreign Relations as its world headquarters. His grandson, George Pratt Shultz, is now Secretary of State. The
Rockefellers also wielded a crucial role through their financing of the Trotskyite Communist group in the
United States, the League for Industrial Democracy, whose directors include such staunch "anti-Communists" as
Jeane Kirkpatrick and Sidney Hook. The Rockefellers were also active on the "right-wing" front through their
sponsorship of the John Birch Society. To enable Robert Welch, a 32nd degree Mason, to devote all of his time
to the John Birch Society, Nelson Rockefeller purchased his family firm, the Welch Candy Company, from him
at a handsome price; Welch chose the principal officers of the John Birch Society from his acquaintances at the
Council On Foreign Relations. For years afterwards, American patriots were puzzled by the consistent inability
of the John Birch Society to move forward on any of its well-advertised "anti-Communist" goals. The fact that
the society had been setup at the behest of the backers of the world Communist revolution may have played
some role in this development. Other patriots wondered why most American conservative writers, including the
present writer, were steadily blacklisted by the John Birch Society for some thirty years; despite thousands of
requests from would be book buyers, the John Birch Society refused to review or list any of my books. After
several decades of futility, the Society was totally discredited by its own record. In a desperate effort to restore
its image, William Buckley, the CIA propagandist, launched a "fierce" attack against the John Birch Society in
the pages of his magazine, the National Review</I. This free publicity campaign also did little to revive the
moribund organization.
The Rockefeller monopoly influence has had its effect on some of New York's largest and wealthiest churches.
Trinity Church on Wall Street, whose financial resources had been directed by none other than J.P. Morgan,
owns some forty commercial properties in Manhattan and has a stock portfolio of $50 million, which, due to
informed investment, actually yields a return of $25 million a year! Only $2.6 million of this income is spent for
charitable work. The rector, why receives a salary of $100,000 a year, lives on the fashionable Upper East
Side. Trinity's mausoleum sells its spaces at fees starting at $1250 and rising to $20,000. St. Bartholomew, on
Fifth Avenue, has an annual budget of $3.2 million a year of which only $100,000 is spent on charity; its rector
resides in a thirteen room apartment on Park Avenue.
In medicine, the Rockefeller influence remains entrenched in its Medical Monopoly. We have mentioned its
control of the cancer industry through the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We have listed the directors of the
major drug firms, each with its director from Chase Manhattan Bank, the Standard Oil Company or other
Rockefeller firms. The American College of Surgeons maintains a monopolistic control of hospitals through the
powerful Hospital Survey Committee, with members Winthrop Aldrich and David McAlpine Pyle representing
the Rockefeller control.
A medical fraternity known as the "rich man's club," the New York Academy of Medicine, was offered grants
for a new building by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation, its subsidiary group. This "seed
money" was then used to finance a public campaign which brought in funds to erect a new building. For
Director of the new facility, the Rockefellers chose Dr. Lindsly Williams, son-in-law of the managing partner of
Kidder, Peabody, a firm strongly affiliated with the J.P. Morgan interests (the J.P. Morgan Company had
originally been called the Peabody Company). Williams was married to Grace Kidder Ford. Although Dr.
Williams was widely known to be an incompetent physician, his family connections were impeccable. He
became a factor in Franklin D. Roosevelt's election campaign when he publicly certified that Roosevelt, a
cripple in a wheelchair who suffered from a number of oppressive ailments, was both physically and mentally
fit to be the President of United States. Dr. Williams' opinion, published in an article in the widely circulated
Collier's Magazine, allayed public doubts about Roosevelt's condition. As a result, Williams was to be offered a
newly created post in Roosevelt's cabinet, Secretary of Health. However, it was another thirty years before
Health became a cabinet post, due to the politicking of Oscar Ewing.
The Rockefellers had greatly extended their business interests in their impoverished Southern states by
establishing the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission. It was headed by Dr. Wickliffe Rose, a longtime Rockefeller
henchman whose name appears on the original charter of the Rockefeller Foundation. Despite its philanthropic
goals, the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission required financial contributions from each of the eleven Southern
states in which it operated, resulting in the creation of State Departments of Health in those states and opening
up important new spheres of influence for their Drug Trust. In Tennessee, the Rockefeller representative was a
Dr. Olin West, who moved on to Chicago to become the power behind the scenes at the American Medical
Association for forty years, as secretary and general manager.
The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research finally dropped the "Medical Research" part of its title; its
president, Dr. Detlev Bronk, resided in a $600,000 mansion furnished by this charitable operation. Rockefeller's
general Education Board has spent more than $100 million to gain control of the nation's medical schools and
turn our physicians to physicians of the allopathic school, dedicated to surgery and the heavy use of drugs. The
Board,
which
had
developed
from
the
original
Peabody
Foundation,
also
spent
some $66 million for Negro education.
One of the most far-reaching consequences of the General Education Board' political philosophy was achieved
with a mere six million dollar grant to Columbia University in 1917, to set up the "progressive" Lincoln School.
From this school descended the national network of progressive educators and social scientists, whose
pernicious influence closely paralleled the goals of the Communist Party, another favorite recipient of the
Rockefeller millions. From its outset, the Lincoln School was described frankly as a revolutionary school for
the primary and secondary schools of the entire United States. It immediately discarded all theories of
education which were based on formal and well-established disciplines, that is, the McGuffey Reader type of
education which worked by teaching such subjects as Latin and algebra, thus teaching children to think
logically about problems. Rockefeller biographer Jules Abel hails the Lincoln School as "a beacon light in
progressive education ".
Rockefeller Institute financial fellowships produced many prominent workers in our atomic programs, such as J.
Robert Oppenheimer, who was later removed from government laboratories as a suspected Soviet agent;
although most of his friends and associates were known Soviet agents, this was called "guilt by association."
The Rockefeller Foundation created a number of spin-off groups, which now plague the nation with a host of
ills, one of them being the Social Science Research Council, which single-handedly spawned the nationwide
"poverty industry,"; a business which expends some $130 billion a year of taxpayer funds while grossing some
$6 billion income for its practitioners. The money, which would amply feed and house all of the nation's
"poor," is dissipated through a vast administrative network which awards generous concessions to a host of
parasitic "consultants".
Despite years of research, the present writer has been able to merely scratch the surface of the Rockefeller
influences listed here. For instance, the huge Burroughs Wellcome drug firm is wholly owned by the
"charitable" Wellcome Trust. This trust is directed by Lord Oliver Franks, a key member of the London
Connection which maintains the United States as a British Colony. Franks was Ambassador to the United States
from 1948 to 1952. He is now a director of the Rockefeller Foundation, as its principal representative in
England. He also is a director of the Schröder Bank, which handled Hitler's personal bank account, director of
the Rhodes Trust in charge of approving Rhodes scholarships, visiting professor at the University of Chicago
and chairman of Lloyd's Bank, one of England's Big Five.
Other Rockefeller Foundation spin-offs include the influential Washington think-tank, the Brookings Institution,
the National Bureau of Economic Research, whose findings play a critical role in manipulating the stock
market; the Public Administration Clearing House, which indoctrinates the nation's municipal employees; the
Council of State Governments, which controls the nation's state legislatures; and the Institute of Pacific
Relations, the most notorious Communist front in the United States. The Rockefellers appeared as directors of
this group, funneling money to it through their financial advisor, Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss, of Kuhn, Loeb
Company.
The Rockefellers have maintained their controlling interest in the Chase Manhattan Bank, owning five per cent
of the stock. Through this one asset they control $42.5 billion worth of assets. Chase Manhattan interlocks
closely with the Big Four insurance companies, of which three, Metropolitan, Equitable and New York Life had
$113 billion in assets in 1969.
With the advent of the Reagan Administration in 1980, the Rockefeller interests sought to obscure their
longtime support of world Communism by bringing to Washington a vocally "anti-Communist" administration.
Reagan was soon wining and dining Soviet premiers as enthusiastically as had his predecessor Jimmy Carter.
The Reagan campaign had been managed by two officials of Bechtel Corporation, its president, George Pratt
Schultz, a Standard Oil heir, and his counsel, Casper Weinberger. Shultz was named Secretary of State,
Weinberger, Secretary of Defense, Bechtel had been financed by the Schröder-Rockefeller Company, the 1936
alliance between the Schröder Bank and the Rockefeller heirs.
The Rockefeller influence also remains preeminent in the monetary field. Since November, 1910, when Senator
Nelson Aldrich chaired the secret conference at Jekyll Island which gave us the Federal Reserve Act, the
Rockefellers have kept us within the sphere of the London Connection During the Carter Administration, David
Rockefeller generously sent his personal assistant, Paul Volcker, to Washington to head the Federal Reserve
Board. Reagan finally replaced him in 1987 with Alan Greenspan, a partner of J.P. Morgan Company. Their
influence on our banking system has remained constant through many financial coups on their part, one of the
most profitable being the confiscation of privately owned gold from American citizens by Roosevelt's edict.
Our citizens had to turn over their gold to the privately owned Federal Reserve System. The Constitution
permits confiscation for purposes of eminent domain, but prohibits confiscation for private gain. The gold's
new owners then had the gold revalued from $20 an ounce to $35, giving them an enormous profit.
In reviewing the all-pervasive influence of the Rockefellers and their foreign controllers, the Rothschilds, in
every aspect of American life, the citizen must ask himself, "What can be done?" Right can prevail only when
the citizen actively seeks justice. Justice can prevail only when each citizen realizes that it is his God-given
duty to mete out justice. History has documented all of the crimes of the usurpers of our Constitution. We have
learned the painful lesson that the Rockefeller monopolists exercise their evil power almost solely through
federal and state agents. At this writing, former Congressman Ron Paul is running for the Presidency of the
United States on an eminently sensible and practical campaign-abolish the Federal Reserve System-abolish the
FBI-abolish the Internal Revenue Service-and abolish the CIA. It has been known for years that 90% of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, ostensibly set up to "fight crime" has been to harass and isolate political
dissidents.
The criminal syndicalists are now looting the American nation of one trillion dollars each year, of which about
one-third, more than three hundred billion dollars per year, represents the profitable depredations of the Drug
Trust and its medical subsidiaries. Before a sustained effort to combat these depredations can be mounted,
Americans must make every effort to regain their health. As Ezra Pound demanded in one of his famous radio
broadcasts, "Health, dammit !" America became the greatest and most productive nation in the world because
we had the healthiest citizens in the world. When the Rockefeller Syndicate began its takeover of our medical
profession in 1910, our citizens went into a sharp decline. Today, we suffer from a host of debilitating ailments,
both mental and physical, nearly all of which can be traced directly to the operations of the chemical and drug
monopoly and which pose the greatest threat to our continued existence as a nation. Unite now to restore our
national health-the result will be the restoration of our national pride, the resumption of our role as the inventors
and producers of the modern world, and the custodian of the world's hopes and dreams of liberty and freedom.

Rockfeller Dynasty Oil Crimes From 1911 to 9/11: The Institutions of Conspiracy
One of the most common disparagements of the conspiracy model is that the conspiracy is "too big", that
there are "too many people involved" to keep it secret. Hogwash. There is nothing in this world that
cannot be solved with the judicious application of a little palm grease. Throw in the occasional threat of
violence, and it is amazing how many people keep their damn mouths shut. The mixture of complicity and
fear that keeps the lid on the initial stages of a conspiracy are merely compounded by time. Like any other
process, conspiracies can become institutionalized and as such, take on a life of their own. It is one thing
to admit complicity in an event that has just occurred; how much worse does it look to admit knowledge
of a conspiracy for say, 75 years? (Can anyone say Big Tobacco?) One other point to keep in mind is the
sheer attraction of wealth and power, especially to those born into it. Conspiracies can also become
institutionalized within families, especially the families of the extremely wealthy.
Oil is the major fuel used by people today. Because oil is liquid, it is easy to mine by drilling and pumping
rather than excavation, and it is easy to transport in tankers and pipelines. Nevertheless, the history of oil
supply has been dominated by the time and place of discoveries, with enormous results on the history of
the 20th century. It has also been dominated by a few individuals, companies, and nations. Before we get
into that, however, I want to make the point that petroleum and petroleum products have been minor
components in international trade for thousands of years.
Bitumen and Egyptian Mummies. Bitumen is a spongy cake-like substance that forms when much of
the volatile content of crude oil has evaporated off. Because it is light enough to float, bitumen "rafts"
form from oil seeps deep under the Dead Sea, and eventually pop to the surface where they can be
collected from rafts or boats. In ancient time, bitumen was much in demand by the Egyptians for use in
preserving mummies, and a bitumen trade built up across the Sinai Desert. Nasty little wars broke out
over these trade routes, and the rise and fall of the Nabateans of Petra is linked with this trade.
The Chinese invent Oil Drilling. The Chinese used oil from natural seeps as fuel to boil salt. They
invented the oil pipeline, using lengths of bamboo to take oil to the salt pans. As an extension of this
technology, they pounded bamboo vertically into the seeps, thus inventing oil drilling as they penetrated
deeper and deeper. The technology was much admired by a European visitor early in the 19th century, and
(with iron pipe instead of bamboo) was transferred to the west. Finally it was used in the first large-scale
oil drilling ever attempted, in the eastern United States.
The modern oil era began in northwest Pennsylvania in the mid-19th century, as shallow fields were
tapped. The demand for oil was not great: its major use, after refining, was as kerosene for oil lamps.
Even moderate discoveries (by today's standards) flooded the market, crashing prices at least temporarily.
The early days of the oil industry were characterized by boom and bust, as new discoveries first
overwhelmed demand, then lagged behind it. Prices fell from $10 a barrel in January 1861 to 10¢ a barrel
in December 1861, but were up to $7.25 a barrel again by September 1863, down to $2.40 in 1867.
Fortunes were made and lost in boom towns and stock speculations that rivaled any in the gold industry.
The innovation that allowed some control over the chaos was the oil pipeline. Barrels (real barrels, made
of oak) were expensive, sometimes worth more than the oil they contained. They were expensive to
transport on wagons, too. By 1866, pipelines, made of wood at first, had been built to the major
producing fields, transporting oil to railheads where tanker cars could be filled. After that, there was only
one real choice: the oil flowed to the nearest industrial city for refining, Cleveland, Ohio.
The oil fields were scattered in rough country, owned by small-time entrepreneurs, and new discoveries
were unpredictable in location and size. They were, however, likely to occur in the same region, and they
would be connected by pipelines to the existing rail network, and funneled to Cleveland. After refining, the
kerosene was marketed nation-wide.
Rockefeller reasoned that the way to monopolize the oil industry was within the transportation and refining
section. In particular, refineries were comparatively long-term investments. At the age of 20, Rockefeller
had entered business just as the Civil War began, and made a lot of money supplying the Army with
wheat, salt, and pork. In 1863 Cleveland was connected with the Pennsylvania oilfields by rail, and
Rockefeller and a partner opened an oil refinery in Cleveland. In 1866 he bought out his partner, and at
the age of 26 owned the largest refinery in the city. Using the size of his shipments to negotiate low prices
for railroad transport, Rockefeller and his Standard Oil Company became the largest oil company in North
America, amalgamating and controlling the refining side of the industry. By 1879 Standard Oil controlled
90% of the refining capacity in the United States, and all the pipelines flowing out of the Pennsylvania
oilfields.
In the 1880s, Standard moved into oilfield production too. By 1890, it was producing or buying over 80%
of the oil produced in the United States, and refining and selling it. Standard was exporting kerosene, too:
half of the kerosene it produced was exported, mainly to Europe, and kerosene was the fourth-largest
American export commodity.
At the end of the century, the Standard Oil Trust controlled the oil industry of the Americas, while Shell
was a major player in much of the rest of the world.
Three major events altered this situation: in 1901 the great Spindletop gusher brought Texas oil into the
picture, eventually bringing Gulf and Texaco into the big leagues; in 1911 the US Government used antitrust legislation to break up the Standard company; and the World War of 1914-1918 brought to
everyone's attention the fact that petroleum was now vital to waging and winning wars. The scene was set
for oil to dominate much economic, political, and military thinking, and that situation continues today.
We know now that most of the world's oil production and most of the world's oil reserves will be in the
Middle East for the foreseeable future. The predominant oil-bearing region lies in an arc from Iraq and
Iran through Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, with the smaller Gulf States like Abu Dhabi and Bahrain on the
fringe of the belt. That was not known until early in the 20th century.
In 1904 an Armenian businessman, Calouste Gulbenkian, reported to the Turkish Sultan Abdul Hamid on
the oil potential of the then Turkish provinces in Iraq: the Sultan promptly transferred large areas into his
own personal possession. The Iraq Petroleum Company was formed in 1914, with capital coming from a
consortium of British and Dutch companies.
The Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which eventually evolved into BP, struck oil in Iran in 1908, and in 1911
Winston Churchill, then head of the British Admiralty, used Government money to buy half of the company
on behalf of the Royal Navy. Churchill also decided that new British battleships would be fueled by oil
rather than coal, and the Iranian supplies were very valuable to the British in World War I.
In the early part of the Twentieth Century, oil began to be the most important product in the world. In
1910, the mightiest military force in the world under Churchill, the British Navy, converted its entire fleet
to oil power. From that point on, access to oil has been the single most important denominator of military
success.
Let us look at a conspiracy in point with the Rockefellers, the Bushes and their related families, the
Walkers. These mafias were bankers and railway men who got into the oil business under the auspices of
the Rockefeller family. In 1911, Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust was broken up under anti-trust laws into
five components: Exxon (Jersey Standard, Mobil (Socony), SoCal, Gulf and Texaco, although Rockefeller
maintained at least minority ownership in all of these companies.
By the end of World War I the central place of petroleum in world strategy had become obvious, and the
dramatic thirst of military operations had led to fears that there would be a global oil shortage, and to
quick appreciation of the profits to be made in such circumstances. American companies, who had been
unwilling to explore abroad when vast oilfields were being discovered at home in Texas and California,
began to look overseas, and the American government began to use considerable political and economic
pressure to try to force American companies into the European-dominated consortia in the Middle East.
However, new fields came on line in the 1920s, and the big companies were soon worrying instead about
an oil glut.
By 1928 there were negotiations between BP, Shell, and Exxon (I have used the modern names of oil
companies in the discussion that follows to save confusion: thus, "Exxon" rather than "Esso"; I call the
largest oil companies "the majors" or severn sisters) in a Scottish castle, and the so-called Achnacarry
Agreement or the American version of OPEC, set out working principles to avoid competition at the
marketing end of the oil industry. The agreement specifically excluded the US market because of its
powerful anti-trust legislation, but there is no question that the companies had no intention of serious
competition there if they could hammer out an agreement for the rest of the world. In Rockefeller’s own
words “competition is a sin”.
The Economist of London praised the Achnacarry Agreement as "an example of the effectiveness of
international cooperation in oil marketing." The Economist was pleased with the "stability" of the prices of
oil and gasoline, but it's not clear whether the articles was written with the seller or the consumer in mind.
Mobil, Gulf, and Texaco had joined the three founder companies by 1932, to make six. The results for
producers were very rewarding: stable (but higher) prices gouged the consumer for decades, and "pirates"
were dealt with summarily whenever possible.
With the Achnacarry Agreement in hand, each large company could feel that it would be able to negotiate
a market share for its oil without seeing petroleum prices crash. The stage was now set for serious
prospecting, and for staking out major oilfields, even though every company could see that it would not be
in a position to pump all the oil that it found. After 1928, therefore, the era of the great Middle East oil
strikes began, though Middle East production remained low.
In 1928 the six-year negotiations over Iraq were completed, and the Iraq Petroleum Company was redivided. 5% went to the formidable Mr. Gulbenkian, and the other 95% was shared equally between the
British (BP), the Dutch (Shell), the French (CFP, the Compagnie Française Pétrole), and a Rockefellercontrolled American group (Exxon + Mobil). The Iraq company was essentially set up as an accounting
company, to share the production costs and the crude oil between the partners.
On June 1, 1932, Socal (now Chevron) struck oil in Bahrain, the first strike in the Arabian peninsula. In
1933 BP extended its Iranian lease for another 60 years. Gulf joined with BP to explore a Kuwaiti
concession in 1934. But 1938 marked the major turning point in Middle East oil history: Gulf and BP struck
the Burgan field in Kuwait, and Chevron struck oil in Saudi Arabia.
Chevron’s history goes back to wildcatter Frederick Taylor, who struck oil in California in the 1870s. In
1879 he joined with other small operators to form Pacific Coast Oil in order to compete with John D.
Rockefeller's Standard Oil in California. In 1900 Standard bought Pacific Coast.
When Standard Oil was broken up by the Supreme Court in 1911, the company's West Coast operations
were lumped together in the Standard Oil Company of California . This was based in San Francisco.
The company quickly became known as Socal, but began marketing under the Chevron name.
Socal continued to explore in Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico and in 1961 expanded its gas station
empire by buying the Standard Oil Company of Kentucky.
Rockefeller's first intent was to regain majority control of "his" companies. The venerable firm of Brown
Brothers, Harriman was engaged to handle the Rockefeller business interests. Employed at the firm were
George Walker and his son-in-law, Prescott Bush. In 1926, Exxon merged its corporate interests with IG
Farben of Germany (the same year that Ibn Saud consolidated control of the Kingdom bearing his name).
In 1927 May 20, Saudi Arabia became independent of Great Britain with the Treaty of Jeddah.
In 1931 Mohammad bin Laden immigrated to Saudi Arabia from Yemen. He established a construction
business and built close ties with the king.
1931 Osama bin Laden was born in Jeddah to a Syrian mother. He was the 17th of 51 children of
Muhammad bin Laden, a baggage carrier, who left Yemen in 1931. Muhammad and his brothers were the
founders of a prosperous construction company.
By 1933, the year Hitler took power, the concessions to the Saudi and Bahraini oilfields were controlled by
SoCal (Standard Oil of California), one of the Rockefeller companies. In May 1933, Saudi Arabia gave
Standard Oil of California exclusive rights to explore for oil. (www.chevron.com)
In 1936 Jan, Standard Oil of California found some gas and oil at their 1st Saudi Arabia test well,
Damman No. 1. (www.chevron.com). In 1936 on Mar 3, Standard Oil of California struck oil at Damman
No 7. Aramco made the first commercial oil find in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The English Arabist, H. St. John
Philby, orchestrated the Aramco concession in Saudi Arabia. (HN, 3/15/98)(WSJ, 3/8/99, p.A16)(SFEC,
6/27/99, p.T3)(www.chevron.com)
In 1936 Standard of California (later Chevron) discovered more oil than it could sell in Saudi Arabia and so
turned to the Texas Company to establish a joint venture called Caltex to sell the oil. In the 1930s the
Texas Company expanded nationwide across the United States.
In the 1930s Socal won important drilling concessions in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and the wells were so
succesful that Socal by 1936 could not sell all its oil and formed Caltex - the California Texas Oil Company
- with Texas Oil Co (later Texaco) in order to cope. In 1948 Caltex sold 40% of its Saudi operations to
Socony (later Mobil) and Jersey Standard (later Exxon) and the Saudi operations became known as the
Arabian American Oil Company - Aramco.
In 1939, the year WWII started, the Saudi Oilfields were reorganized under the control of a joint SoCal
and Texas Oil Company venture called Aramco. In 1943, the same year Prescott Bush had all of his assets
seized for collaborating with the Nazis, President Roosevelt decided that the Federal government should
take over control of Aramco. After much wrangling and mergers with the remaining Rockefeller companies,
Aramco was taken over by the Feds and once again Rockefeller had a de facto monopoly over the most
important resource on Earth, and the concurrent leverage over the Federal Government.
Oil did not begin to ship from Saudi Arabia until 1946 because of World War II, but it was clear that
Chevron's discovery had made it overnight into a major, globally powerful company. Its oil was marketed
through Texaco's global sales network under the name Caltex, while the Saudi part of the partnership was
called Aramco, the Arabian American Oil Company.
King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia requested more cash return from his oil fields, and Aramco (Chevron +
Texaco) began to expand Saudi production and to sell oil at a price that undercut Texas prices. Even so,
production costs in the Saudi oilfields were so low that the partners were making a larger profit than
anyone could make from Texas production. The implied threat and gentle pressure brought the other
companies into negotiation, and soon Chevron became a seventh major partner in the international selling
agreements. This may have had something to do with the fact that at the time the Rockefeller interests
were still the largest shareholders in Mobil, Exxon, and Chevron. By a major reorganization in 1947, Mobil
and Exxon bought into Aramco, leaving Chevron, Exxon, and Texaco with 30% each, and Mobil with 10%.
This meant, in essence, Rockefeller control over Aramco.
Even so, Saudi production was nowhere near full capacity. Complex conditions were negotiated between
the big companies to ensure that new production from the Middle East would be marketed without major
competition. A US government report said in 1952 that the seven international oil companies operating in
the Middle East were jointly controlling oil prices. This report gave rise to the expression The Seven
Sisters for the companies involved: the four Aramco members, Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, and Texaco; the
Kuwaiti partners Gulf and BP (British Petroleum); and Shell, which had a share in the Iraq Petroleum
Company, and had enormous marketing capacity. Although they had a stranglehold on Middle East oil as
early as the 1930s, the Seven Sisters were still in control as late as 1972, when they produced 91% of the
Middle East's oil and 77% of world supply outside the US and the communist countries.
The Seven Sisters thus controlled Middle East production, in a way that would have seemed inconceivable
to John D. Rockefeller. It was also obvious that the oil industry was susceptible to control at the refining
and marketing end of the market, as the Standard Oil Trust had shown at the turn of the century. The
break-up of the Standard Oil in 1911 had effectively warned off any overt attempts at controlling the large
American market for a long time, but the same constraints did not apply to the rest of the world. The
cartel's activities in controlling marketing were widely known and often approved during the 1930s, as we
saw.
In the United States, the oil companies had to be much more circumspect in their efforts to control
production or marketing. Although the Standard Oil Trust was broken up into several dozen "independent"
units in 1911, there was a great deal of interlocking share holding, and the Rockefeller interests held
enough shares in enough of the companies to influence mutual interactions. In 1938, for example,
Rockefeller interests held 20% of Exxon, 16% of Mobil, 12% of Chevron, and 11% of Amoco, and since all
the other shares were widely dispersed, that was considered "working control" in all four companies by the
Government.
The major oil companies (majors) had already negotiated the basic Achnacarry Agreement when a major
crisis erupted for them in Texas. On October 3, 1930, the gigantic East Texas field was discovered by an
independent wildcatter, and new crude oil began literally to pour into the domestic market in 1931. The oil
companies were faced by a dramatic new source of oil that they did not control. They began to buy up
leases in the new fields, but the quantity of oil was too great to be absorbed easily, and the East Texas
fields were soon producing a million barrels a day, one-third of all United States production.
The majors were able to survive the crisis by their control over refining and marketing. However much
new crude oil was found, it still had to be refined and marketed through a system that was already tightly
controlled. The majors, in effect, could simply state what they would pay for crude oil from the new fields.
As new oil began to flow, that price was about 70¢/barrel.
The majors now began to promote policies under the cloak of "conservation" that would limit "wasteful"
production: it was already clear that pumping oil too rapidly from a field could damage long-term
production. The ends were entirely correct and respectable, of course, but certainly the conversion to
conservation was well timed. As the majors decided that free-for-all production must stop, they filled
Austin, Texas with lobbyists, and in November 1932, the Texas legislature passed the Market Demand Act.
Under "conservation," the law defined as "prohibitable waste" any production that was in excess of
"market demand."
As soon as the Act became law, the majors dropped their offering price to 25¢ a barrel on January 1933,
and then to 10¢ a barrel. Naturally this cut production dramatically, as "market demand" dropped. The
majors bought up tens of millions of barrels at give-away prices before many of the independents went
out of business, and the price did not rise back up to $1 a barrel until September 1933, as the majors
gained control.
In 1935 Congress passed an Interstate Compact to Conserve Oil and Gas and the Connally Act. Between
them, these laws assigned strict production quotas to each State. In the end, US domestic production was
limited under the cloak of conserving natural resources. Once again, the ends were admirable, but it's
clear that the legislation was passed on behalf of the majors. By 1958 Texas oil wells were allowed to
pump oil for only 97 days a year. The legislation was used to hold down production in order to maintain
stable prices.
Oil companies of all sizes acted through Congress to keep down their taxes through the infamous
depletion allowance. In 1972 the IRS estimated that the nation was losing $2.35 billion a year in tax
avoidance through the depletion allowance. In 1974, while corporate tax rates were 48%, the 19 largest
oil companies paid an average of 7.6% as taxes. This had repercussions throughout American business:
for example, if one combines the petroleum, motor vehicle, and aircraft industries of the United States as
vital to its economic and military security, the petroleum companies held 60% of the assets of this part of
US industry and paid 9% of its taxes. The auto industry held 32% of these assets but paid 79% of the
taxes.
The other major (and frightening) post-war impact on domestic US oil supplies was a deliberate policy
decision to serve the domestic market largely from American oil wells. Under the pretext of a quota
system to protect "national security," so that the US would not become too dependent on foreign oil,
cheap foreign oil was kept out of the United States, while domestic fields were rapidly depleted. In the
1960s, for example, domestic prices rose gradually, although prices dropped by about 40% in foreign
markets. Furthermore, overseas competitors like the Western Europeans and the Japanese benefited from
low energy prices, while US industry paid increasingly higher prices.
In 1952 the Attorney General began criminal antitrust proceedings against the major oil companies, but
these were halted by the personal intervention of President Truman on January 12, 1953, in the last few
days before he left office. The Eisenhower administration regarded the enforcement of the antitrust laws
as "secondary to the national security interest," though it was never clear how national security was
involved. By the end of 1953 the case had been transferred from the Department of Justice to the State
Department under John Foster Dulles, at the same time as Dulles' old law firm was hired as defense
counsel by the oil companies. This effectively ended the proceedings, and abuses continued at every level,
from interference with governments to price gouging the individual consumer.
By 1970, 94% of US domestic reserves were held by only 20 companies. The top eight oil companies in
terms of their holdings of US domestic oil reserves were also the top eight in production, the top eight in
refining, and the top eight in marketing: they were the American five of the Seven Sisters, Exxon, Mobil,
Texaco, Chevron, and Gulf, plus Shell, Amoco and Arco.
The extent of cartel control can be judged by working out the cartel's best strategy, and then comparing
that against the actual behavior of the market. The cartel would best be served by stimulating and then
satisfying an increasing market for petroleum products on a global scale. More sales mean more profits, as
long as selling prices are kept high and stable, and production costs are kept low. The facts are that world
consumption of crude oil rose at a clockwork 9.55% a year from 1950 to 1972, through economic times
that ranged from boom to recession, through war and peace, through crises such as the successive ArabIsraeli Wars, the Vietnam War, and the nationalization in Iran in 1951-1953.
Oil profits were unbelievable. In 1947, Saudi oil cost 19¢ a barrel plus 21¢ royalty, and Bahrain oil cost
10¢ a barrel plus 15¢ royalty. Consumers were paying $1.80 a barrel and more for that same crude oil.
Even when development costs of the oilfields were figured into the selling price (as they should be), the oil
companies were making a great profit.
In fact, profit margins increased enormously in the 1950s and 1960s while production costs decreased.
The volume of oil shipped increased, and the advent of supertankers decreased shipping costs while
selling prices were increased. In the late 1960s, Middle East oil that was delivered to Europe and the
United States at $2 and more a barrel had cost less than 40¢ to produce and ship. In 1957 half of Gulf's
profits came from its share in the Kuwaiti oilfields. Aramco's profits averaged 57% of its invested capital in
1952-1961.
But the most creative way for the majors to maximize their global profits and to satisfy the producer
nations at the same time was to take advantage of tax legislation in the United States on "foreign tax
credits." Suppose that Exxon pumped oil in Slobbovia, and paid tax at 35% on its operations there, at a
time when company tax rate was only 15%. The foreign tax credit specified that Exxon could calculate the
"extra tax" of 20% it had paid the Slobbovian Government, and could deduct that amount from its tax bill
in the United States. As critics pointed out, this essentially involved the American tax payer in a direct
subsidy to the Slobbovian government, except that the check was written on the American taxpayer by
Exxon. All the majors used this tax avoidance scheme from the early 1950s, and it helped to maximize
their profits.
How? Surely they were paying the same tax bill, even though the US taxpayer received a smaller amount
than before? The trick used by the companies was to have the producer nation increase its tax rate
instead of its royalty rate. If the Saudis had pressed for increased royalties, the companies could have
deducted that expense only from their profits. Because the Saudis who didn't care where the money came
from took their cut in taxes, the companies could deduct the same amount, not from their profits, but
from their US tax bill. Careful calculation and negotiation between the companies and the producer
countries could allow the companies to gain the maximum benefit by manipulating this tax loophole.
The US National Security Council was involved with the US Treasury in promoting this scheme, even
though it meant a major shortfall in the US government's tax revenue. Tax lawyers were even sent by the
US Treasury to Saudi Arabia in 1950 to help that country formulate the necessary company tax laws to
start the scheme. In 1951 the Kuwait contract was revised in the same way; Iranian taxes on the new Iran
consortium were set up in the same way in 1954; and the pipelines through Lebanon were taxed in 1956.
Here is how the system worked in the early 1950s. Before the foreign tax credit was used, Middle East oil
was sold at $1.75 a barrel; production costs and royalties totaled 41¢, leaving $1.34 pre-tax profit per
barrel. About 43¢ went on US taxes, leaving a net profit of 91¢ per barrel for the company.
In the new scheme, there was still $1.34 pre-tax profit. But if Saudi taxes were tuned to yield the Saudi
government half of the profit (67¢), the company could now deduct that 67¢ from its American taxes. Not
only would it not pay the 43¢ it used to, it could protect or "write off" some of its US profits against tax,
with each 43¢ of deduction worth about 24¢ of US profit protected against taxation. The company would
make a net profit of 91¢ a barrel, just as it did before. The Saudis receive their royalties as before, plus
67¢ tax. The American tax system would lose the 43¢ the company used to pay, plus another 24¢, that is,
the American tax payer would lose the 67¢ that the company paid the Saudi government, and would have
to come up with the missing amount.
The transfer of funds was enormous, and growing. In 1951 Aramco's US tax bill fell from $50 million the
year before to $6 million, while the Saudis received $110 million instead of $66 million. By 1955 the
annual loss was $154 million.
OPEC was founded in 1960, and began to press for further increases in oil revenue. Soon the companies
began another scheme to accomplish this without loss to themselves, based on the foreign tax deduction:
they began to base their calculations for taxes and royalties, not on the actual sales price of crude oil, but
on a mythical "posted price" that was simply a number written on a piece of paper. This procedure
increased the revenue to the OPEC countries, and the loss to the US tax payer.
This system ran until 1975, when the bills began to come due for the Vietnam War; but even then, the
abuses were constrained rather than eliminated. And as it happened, the losses to the producers and the
companies were more than made up by the post-1973 rise in absolute prices (and profit margins).
In the end, the greed and manipulation broke the system, as everyone involved wanted more and more.
The history of oil prices from 1960 to today reflects human failures rather than economic principles.
In 1951 the new nationalist government in Iran, led by Mr. Mossadeq, tried in vain to get BP to agree to
the same kind of profit-sharing that American majors had negotiated with the Saudi and Venezuelan
governments. Finally the Iranians lost patience and nationalized the oilfields.
The majors, acting together, struck back by boycotting Iranian oil, refusing to handle any crude oil
produced by the fields under the new regime. Their control over transport and refining was so thorough
that Iran's oil exports dropped from $400 million in 1951 to $2 million in 1951 and 1952. The deficit to oil
supplies could be made up easily because the Middle Eastern fields were being operated at much less than
capacity, and additional pumping from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq not only made up the difference, but
delighted the three Arab nations concerned, who have no particular liking for the non-Arab Iranians.
Finally crisis overtook Iran in 1953: the Shah tried and failed to dismiss Mossadeq, and had to flee the
country. By the time the Mossadeq government collapsed through CIA covert operations and the Shah was
restored to the throne, BP was well and truly frozen out of Iran. CIA involvement in the Shah's restoration
sowed some of the seeds of the violent anti-Americanism that continued during the Shah's later repressive
years.
The State Department was involved in choosing the American participation in any reformed Iranian oil
company, apparently a quid pro quo for "liberating" the oilfields. The ultimate share-out was only 40% for
BP, which had owned the oilfields before nationalization; 14% for Shell; 7% each for Exxon, Gulf, Mobil,
Chevron, and Texaco; 6% for the French CFP, and 5% for a few American independent oil companies. In
other words, although the American companies were now present in strength, the majors still controlled
this enormous oil resource.
Because the majors had potential production from so many Middle Eastern fields, they could in effect
choose which fields they would exploit and which they would pump at low production levels. Where there
were consortia, production levels were controlled by a specific formula. Since the four American
companies in Aramco, and Gulf in Kuwait, were rich in crude oil, they had no real interest in major new
production. Production from Iran and Saudi Arabia was held at much less than capacity. Partly because of
US government wishes, however, these two countries increased production more than others, to keep the
Shah and the King happy, and to allow them (especially the Shah) the money to outfit their armed forces
with the newest American hardware. If the majors increased production in Iran and Saudi Arabia by 12%
and 10% respectively, more than the 9.55% that global demand would stand at good prices, production
had to be held back even more in other rich oil-producing areas. Kuwait and Iraq were usually chosen as
the producers to have low production rates: from 1958-1972, their production increased 5.9% and 5.1%
respectively. Discoveries in other nations (such as Oman) were simply not developed at all. This was the
fatal flaw in the system: sooner or later, producer nations would realize the extent of the manipulation,
and react to it.
For example, Iraq was manipulated by neglect. The partners in Iraq Petroleum discovered a great number
of likely fields in the 1930s, but were slow to drill them. They already had access to enormous fields in
Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Kuwait, and Iraqi oil production was simply not needed (except possibly by the
Iraqis!). Iraq Petroleum became notorious for this kind of tactic, which it also used in Qatar and Syria.
Even today no-one has any clear idea just how large Iraq's oil reserves are, except that they are much
greater than its current production implies.
The Iraqis finally lost patience and in 1961 nationalized all concessions in Iraq that were not then being
exploited. Eventually they set up their own national company and nationalized all the oil fields.
The Libyan government of King Idris granted oil concessions in 1955. The Libyans were well aware of the
way the petroleum industry worked, and were anxious to keep the country's oil out the hands of the
majors. Most concessions were granted to independent operators. As a result, when large fields of highquality oil were discovered, they were developed quickly, instead of being held to slow rates as in Iraq and
Kuwait. Occidental Oil in particular, under the dynamic and eccentric Armand Hammer, began to produce
large quantities of Libyan oil.
In 1960, Libyan production was still small, but its influence was enough to generate price cutting in the
global oil market. Although open figures are not revealed, it's clear that real oil prices fell steadily during
the 1960s, as more new oil came on to the market. The majors held back production in their existing
Middle Eastern fields, so that the global increase in sales grew at the same steady pace. But their share of
the production, and their profit margins, were suffering. Prices paid for Middle Eastern oil fell from close to
$2 a barrel to more like $1.20 a barrel.
The majors began to worry how much longer they could continue to restrict production from the Gulf
states to stabilize the global market. Exxon was quite explicit about it: "during the [1960s] the advent of
large-scale production in LibyaŠ may restrict the growth of Middle East outlet." Of course, it wouldn't
necessarily have had that result on a free market, but Exxon did not hide the fact that that would be the
result of continued increase in Libyan production on the international market as it was being operated at
the time (1961).
By 1968 Exxon realized that it had grossly underestimated the size of the Libyan oil fields, and that the
majors were in danger of losing control of the world market. Exxon estimated that Libya would overtake
Iran and Saudi Arabia to become the leading producer in the region by 1971. If that happened, the majors
would actually have to decrease production in their fields. Exxon realized that the governments of the Gulf
States simply would refuse to cooperate with the majors if production were cut from their fields. The
majors faced a new era of significant overproduction (as they regarded it), and a dramatic fall in oil prices
and profit margins.
By 1970 Exxon's forecast looked as if it would come true. Libya was by then the fourth largest producer in
the non-communist world, surpassed only by Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela. What's more, King Idris
had been overthrown by Colonel Qaddafi, and the oil fields were controlled by a new revolutionary
government that was not likely to be incorporated easily within the cosy structure of the large oil
companies. To add to the problems of the majors, new fields were coming on line in Nigeria, with large but
unknown potential.
The resulting dénouement is interesting. The Qaddafi government demanded an increase in royalties to
40¢ a barrel, targeting Occidental in particular as the largest independent company, totally dependent on
its Libyan fields. Occidental, and then all the others, had to pay the increased royalty. Qaddafi had now
accomplished more for Libya than OPEC had managed to do for its members since its founding in 1960.
Stung or stimulated by the Libyan success, OPEC met in Venezuela in December 1970 and demanded
similar increases. The majors met and agreed that they would support one another against any OPEC
nation (for example, they would supply crude oil from other sources to any company whose production
were cut back by an OPEC government), and they asked the US Government to turn a blind eye to the
breaches of the anti-trust laws that this agreement had made. (The Justice Department agreed to do so.)
The American Under Secretary of State even went to the Gulf, apparently on behalf of the majors, to talk
separately to OPEC governments and to try to dissuade them from joint action. This was a clumsy
diplomatic blunder, and the US Government's pressure was shrugged off: the Shah of Iran angrily stated
that the majors' agreement to collaborate against OPEC was a "dirty trick."
The various producer nations used their leverage to get 20¢ a barrel more for the Gulf States, and the
Libyans followed with even more. It's clear that by now the producer nations knew their strength
(especially the Libyans), and were playing off the ability of the Libyan independents to curb the majors by
pumping large quantities of oil. In this way the political and economic skill of the Libyans, combined with
the great good fortune of striking very large and productive fields, was able for a while to take control of
events away from the majors.
The Qaddafi government now rapidly began to nationalize the oil companies in Libya, taking some over
outright, and forcing the others to yield 51% to the government. But in expelling the Western oil men,
Qaddafi severely cut down Libyan production, and crippled the independent refiners and marketers abroad
who had been taking market share away from the majors. The Libyans were able to maintain their
revenues by charging higher prices for the reduced oil flow, but the majors were delighted by the
outcome. They regained their market share of global output, and were able to exploit the sudden
weakness of the new independents. More important, the Libyans themselves had removed the threat of
Libyan production increase that had been hanging over the majors for ten years. The majors were now
back in charge of most of the world's production, refining, marketing, and sales, in a global situation
where the threat of overproduction had been removed.
None of this was new: it was a return to the old oil world that had been in place for forty years. What was
new was OPEC's realization that it held a great deal of power. Could OPEC now work through the majors to
take over effective control of global oil supplies?
In October 1973 the "Yom Kippur" war that ended with the humiliating defeat of the Arab nations. The
same month the OPEC countries met in Vienna to discuss raising oil prices, and with the new realization of
their power, simply announced an immediate increase in the price of the standard "Middle East" barrel
from $3 to $5.11. They doubled the price again in Tehran to $11.65, effective January 1, 1974. Given that
the same barrel had cost $1.80 in late 1970, this represented a six-fold increase since the weakness of the
majors had been exposed by the Libyans in 1970. Most major producing nations agreed to strengthen
their position by cutting production at least 10%.
The "oil crisis" was comparatively short-lived in terms of supply. The oil companies had had hints from
King Faisal of the impending war and had built up stocks. There was no oil shortage in 1973. What was
different was the price of oil, passed on to consumers by the majors as they paid more to the producers
for their crude. As long as the majors could control the crude oil supply, and as long as the consumer
could pay the increased price, the majors could arrange to have at least the same absolute profit margins
as before. If they could arrange to keep anything close to their original percentage profit margins, they
would make a lot of money. In typical figures for a refinery on the US East Coast, the refining profit per
barrel was 95¢ (25% above cost) in 1969, but $4.23 (50%) in 1974. The result was that major oil
companies made profits of about 19% in 1974, compared with a historical average of about 11% in the
previous decade.
In 1975 Saudi Arabia began nationalizing foreign oil assets with full compensation.
In 1975 King Faisal was shot by his nephew who had been brainwashed by a CIA operative.
After the oil crisis in 1973 Caltex lost most of its Saudi holdings to nationalisation and in 1980 Aramco was
taken over by the Saudi government.
In 1984 Socal renamed itself Chevron and bought Gulf for $13.3bn, a move which doubled its reserves.
The Gulf Corporation had dated back to 1901 when J M Guffey Petroleum's Spindletop well in Texas came
in. Guffey was soon ousted by his major backers, the Mellon family of Pittsburgh, and as a result the
company name was changed to the Gulf Corporation in 1907. Gulf invested heavily in developing the
oilfields of Kuwait but the company was weakened by the 1973 oil crisis and by claims of corruption in the
Kuwaiti dealings.
The Texas Oil Company renamed Texaco in 1959, flourished until the late 1970s when its own wells began
to run out. In an effort to acquire more reserves in 1983 Texaco bid $8.6bn for Getty Oil, despite the fact
that Getty had agreed a deal with Pennzoil. A Texas court later ruled that Texaco should pay Pennzoil
$10.53bn in damages. As a result Texaco was forced to seek bankruptcy protection in 1987. The dispute
with Pennzoil was eventually settled for $3bn but Texaco's weak state was made worse when corporate
raider Carl Icahn bid for the company. Texaco had to sell off $7bn of assets to beat off Icahn's bid.
In 1989 Texaco did a deal with Saudi Arabia to form a joint venture called Star Enterprise, which linked up
60% of the company's US refining and marketing operations with Saudi Arabian cash and provided a
steady supply of crude oil. The Gulf War, however, disrupted supplies and highlighted the company's
weakness. In 1993 Texaco sold off its chemical operations and invested heavily in finding new oilfields in
Russia, China and Colombia and in increasing outputs in the North Sea but as the oil industry consolidated
it became clear that Texaco needed to merge with another major company in order to compete. A deal
was struck with Chevron.
The newly-named Chevron continued to buy up competition and in 1988 paid $2.5bn for Tenneco's oil and
gas holdings in the Gulf of Mexico. The company then became a takeover victim with a bid from Pennzoil
in 1992. This was fought off but Chevron had to give Pennzoil a number of its oil and gas fields as part of
the settlement.
In 1988 Standard Oil merged with its archrival, British Petroleum. The last 15 years have seen the joint
venture repurchase nearly all of the original Rockefeller oil companies. When coupled with the recent
mergers of the US and UK Defense infrastructure and the sale by the UK Ministry of Defense of 1/3 of its
research and development company to the Bush/Binladen Carlyle Group, which lists George H. W. Bush as
a Senior Director, one can only conclude that the corporate (read Fascist) takeover is nearly complete.
In all of the upheavals, the overriding concern of the majors was clearly to retain control over crude oil
shipping, refining, and marketing. This was shown in 1974, when Saudi Arabia demanded the
nationalization of Aramco. If there were problems, the Saudis threatened, they would simply offer 3
million barrels a day directly to third parties (outside the majors). In the end, Aramco quietly gave in, in
return for contracts by which it would handle all the shipping of Saudi crude.
Since the usual effect of a major price rise is to cut consumption, by economy (conservation) or switching
to alternate supplies, one would expect that a continuation of OPEC production at its 1973 rates would
tend to bring prices down again, no matter what the wishes of the producers. If OPEC could maintain its
prices in the face of restricted demand, production would have to drop. In 1974 production was almost
exactly the same as 1973, and in the light of a historical 9.5% increase each year for 20 years, this
constitutes a distinct restraint in production. In 1975 there was a real drop in production. Together, these
actions ensured that the price remained high. It's quite conceivable that these figures were achieved
because the majors as well as the producing nations both benefited from the large price increase, and
neither had any interest in seeing that position eroded.
The interests of OPEC and the majors coincided to this extent: both wished to see a large volume of oil
flow through to consumers at high prices. In these circumstances, OPEC members received large amounts
of money in royalties and taxes, and the majors were assured supplies of crude oil with which to supply
their global market.
The interests diverged in that the majors did not care where the oil came from as long as it was reliable.
They willingly took oil from non-OPEC members like the United States, Britain, and Norway (and rushed to
sign contracts with former Communist nations too). The majors were only under the influence of OPEC
only as long as OPEC nations held the crude oil that they needed. OPEC nations once again came to
depend on the Seven Sisters as soon as OPEC oil became optional rather than necessary for the major oil
companies.
There are 13 important members of OPEC. The five largest producers and exporters in the group are in
the Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, and the other members
are Libya, Venezuela, Algeria, Nigeria, Gabon, Indonesia, Ecuador, and Qatar. The major oil producing
nations outside OPEC are the US, Russia, Britain, and Norway, but the US is a net importer, and the others
do not contribute much to the open world market.
OPEC tries to keep oil prices high by keeping production within limits, assigning a production quota to
each member. There is always a temptation for producing countries to cheat on the quotas assigned to
them by the cartel, especially if they have urgent needs for cash. Cheating is particularly easy on the
international oil market. Only the meters on the oilfield pumps and pipelines, and the tanker operators,
can keep track of volumes of crude oil, and once on the high seas or into the network of international
pipelines, oil quickly loses all traces of its country of origin. With the cooperation of distributors and
marketers, any country can pump more than its quota, more or less with impunity.
OPEC has always lacked the ability to monitor and police its members' production. (The majors can and do
monitor world oil flow, but apparently do not share information with OPEC, a demonstration that their
interests may be parallel with OPEC, but not identical.) In fact, however, just as before, world production
remains reasonably stable. This can only be accomplished by action of the majors, and there is little doubt
that they do this: from self-interest, not to help OPEC.
For example, in 1989 the oil ministers of the OPEC countries agreed on quotas that totaled 22.1 million
barrels a day for the first half of 1990, planning that that volume would keep the price of crude oil on the
world market at about $18 a barrel, their target price since 1986. In fact, the OPEC countries between
them probably pumped about 23.5 million barrels a day, maintaining a surplus supply of crude oil into
world markets, and dropping the price of crude oil. (It had been $20.46 in late January 1990, but reached
a low of $13.64 by June 1990.)
By the midyear meeting in July 1990, tempers were running high, and President Saddam Hussein of Iraq
massed 30,000 troops on the borders of Kuwait, allegedly one of the OPEC members cheating most on its
quota. Saddam Hussein claimed that the loss in revenue to Iraq alone had been $14 billion in 1989. At
about the same time, the American Petroleum Institute announced that US imports now constituted an alltime high of 49.9% of consumption, and prices immediately rose to $19.61 a barrel in the anticipation
that OPEC would try to squeeze supplies. It was widely anticipated that Hussein's pressure on Kuwait, and
the American announcement, would encourage OPEC to set an attainable limit on production of 22.5
million barrels a day, and that the price would reach $20 once again. In fact, on July 27, OPEC agreed on
a target price of $21 a barrel at that production level, which was economically unrealistic but perhaps
served some internal political agenda. On the day of the news, the international price reached $20.39 a
barrel.
Events were rapidly overtaken by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War that followed. But even then,
the temporary removal of Kuwaiti oil as well as Iraqi oil from world markets made very little difference to
either supply or price. In fact, as Kuwaiti production was re-established in 1992 and 1993, the world
position of OPEC worsened still further. By summer 1993, OPEC countries were pumping 25 million
barrels/day, even with Iraqi exports at a virtual standstill. The price of oil remained very low at around
$15-$20/barrel for most of the 1990s. The OPEC nations were reportedly able to agree in principle on
reducing production to help prop up the price, but could not agree on who was to slow production, or by
how much. Meanwhile gasoline was selling in the United States for a cost that in real money was as low as
it had been in decades. No-one in the Middle East wanted to say so aloud, but their worst-case scenario in
the 1990s was the day that a cash-hungry Iraq released from UN sanctions would once more allowed to
export as much crude oil as it wanted to!
In 1999 the price of crude oil dropped close to $12/barrel. This frightened OPEC into real cooperation, and
as I write this in early 2000, the OPEC nations seem to be operating at close to their agreed quotas, and
the price of crude oil is at a 9-year high, around $30 a barrel. Probably OPEC calculates that this is around
the price that the industrial nations can afford to pay without major damage to their currently prosperous
economies. It will be up to OPEC to continue to fine-tune their production, without repeating the events
that led to the collapse of crude oil prices in the 1980s.
The break-up of the Soviet Union had dramatic effects on the oil resources within its boundaries. The old
Soviet Union had immense reserves of oil and especially of gas, but a decaying infrastructure that was
already resulting in decreased production by the end of the 1980s.
The Soviet Union had a structure of pipelines that essentially gathered production and funnelled it
westward into Eastern Europe, where it was sold to the former Soviet satellite countries, particularly to
East Germany. Russia, as the largest successor state, retains the bulk of that system, and has huge fields
of oil and gas that can continue to provide it with its own fuel supply and a surplus for export. However,
many of the fields, even within Russia, require modernization and exploration that present-day Russia
cannot afford. Contracts with Western oil companies are slowly and carefully being negotiated, but the
precarious nature of Russian politics and the Russian economy are serious problems. As I write, the
Russian Government and the largest energy company in Russia, Gazprom, are at daggers drawn over
billions of rubles in unpaid taxes. The former Russian Prime Minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, is also a former
chief executive of Gazprom, and depending whom you believe, is either a secret millionaire with immense
power, or the only former Soviet bureaucrat who failed to get a share when the government gas industry
was privatized.
The problems of the other fragments of the Soviet Union are even more compelling and interesting,
however. Some republics ( Ukraine and Belarus are the best examples) have no oil resources, and are
dependent on supplies down the old pipeline system from Russia: essentially, the Russians can hold these
countries to economic or political ransom for their fuel supplies. It is not an accident that both Belarus and
the Ukraine have recently negotiated closer economic ties with Russia, in spite of the considerable distrust
built up over the years of economic domination from Moscow. The Ukraine, desperate for energy,
continues to operate its dangerous nuclear reactors at Chernobyl, next to the notorious reactor that
exploded in 1986, because it has no choice. Without billions of dollars in aid, the Ukraine cannot afford to
take proper remedial action to make Chernobyl safe, or to close the remaining plants.
Armenia, cut off from its own pipeline supply because of religious wars with its neighbor Azerbaijan,
recently re-opened a Chernobyl-style nuclear reactor which had been closed since 1989 on safety
grounds. Again, there was no real choice: electricity supplies were down to a few hours a day even in the
capital.
However, the most interesting developments are being played out in the former Soviet republics that do
have abundant reserves of oil and gas.
Azerbaijan contains the giant fields around Baku, which have been producing for a century. It was among
the oil workers of Baku that the young Stalin learned his trade of fomenting revolution, riot, and sabotage,
and it was the lure of the oilfields of Baku that drew the German army into the Caucasus in an ill-fated
offensive in 1942. However, the oilfields are old, the infrastructure is decayed, and the pipelines that
export the oil all go into Russia. The Azeris could perhaps renovate their fields, and go offshore to exploit
promising new territory under the Caspian Sea, but they would always be subject to a Russian
stranglehold on the export pipelines.
However, a look at a map brings home the geopolitical difficulties faced by the Azeris. All routes that would
take their oil to Western markets have problems. The easiest route would use existing pipelines through
Russia to the Black Sea, but that gives control to Russia. The next easiest route is through Iran to the
existing network that delivers oil to ports on the Persian Gulf. But the Azeris are ancient enemies of the
Persians: many of the inhabitants of northwest Iran are ethnic Azeris, and neither country trusts the other.
To the west, a pipeline through Georgia to the Black Sea would be possible, but Georgia is torn by civil war
and is in danger of being blackmailed back into Russian control.
The most sensible pipeline would pass through Armenia to Turkey and the Mediterranean (the Turks and
Azeris are Turkic peoples who share a linguistic, religious, and cultural heritage). But the Azeris and
Armenians have been at war intermittently for years, a particularly nasty and brutal religious war, and it is
vanishingly unlikely that the Azeris would allow the Armenians control over their oil exports in the
foreseeable future. Even the Azeri-Georgia pipeline route passes through a part of Azerbaijan that is
seriously threatened by the Russian-armed Armenian invaders who currently control some Azeri territory.
The most likely scenario is in the process of developing. The Azeris have signed contracts with a
consortium of Western oil companies to renovate and extend the fields. As I write this, Amoco and BP
have 17% each, the Azeris hold 10%, and three other US companies are involved. The Turkish
government has 7%, and the Russian oil company Lukoil, which runs the pipeline, has 10%. A pipeline
through Russia to the Black Sea at Novorossiysk already exists. What the Azeris need is some sort of
guarantee that the pipeline will not be closed off arbitrarily, which explains the offer of 10% to Lukoil, to
give the Russians a financial interest in keeping it open: a share in the proceeds. This is not an ideal
solution, but it looks like the best of a set of bad choices. The Turks are involved because oil will cross the
Black Sea from Novorossiysk in tankers, either directly through the Bosphorus, or through pipelines across
Turkey to the Mediterranean.
The pipeline from Baku to Novorossiysk runs directly through the city of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya.
As everyone knows, the Chechens want independence from Russia. The Russians are unwilling to concede
independence, partly because of the precedent it would set for other similar areas, but largely, I suspect,
because that would yield control of the pipeline to still another set of hands. The Russians have recently
taken Grozny in a brutal battle that left many dead on both sides, and the Chechens are still fighting a
bitter guerilla war in the hills. But the Russians now control Grozny and the plains, and the pipeline. I
don't think there's any question that the Russian invasion was controlled by the pipeline more than any
other factor. The geopolitics of oil has far-reaching implications that we have to understand if we are to
appreciate the complexities of the modern world order.
Kazakhstan has a supergiant oilfield, Tengiz, whose current output is also exported through Russia on
existing pipelines. Since independence, Kazakhstan has signed contracts with Mobil to develop some
smaller fields, and with Chevron to expand and modernize production from Tengiz. The first phase at
Tengiz is complete, but the project is suffering slow strangulation because of Russian control of the
pipeline. Only limited amounts are allowed down it, bound for Russia, and in return, Chevron receives the
same amount of oil delivered to Germany from fields elsewhere in Russia. By incorporating Russian
partners, Chevron has negotiated a new pipeline that is to be built through Russia to Novorossiysk on the
Black Sea, to that Tengiz oil would be exported directly to world markets.
Until that pipeline is built, both Kazakhstan and Chevron are looking at a losing proposition, because
current exports to Russia are too small to make money: Chevron is breaking even on current production,
but any reasonable return on its capital requires shipping ten times as much as it does now. Kazakhstan's
problem is that there is no other feasible pipeline route: Tengiz is in the north of Kazakhstan. The
alternative, through Iran, is just as risky in political terms, and the Kazakhs and Iranians have no better
relations than do the Kazakhs and Russians. In any case, no American company is willingly going to build
its pipelines through hostile territory, and Iran certainly counts as hostile for Americans in the foreseeable
future.
Chevron's problem is that it has "bet the company" on Tengiz: at a projected cost of $20 billion, it is the
biggest project the company has taken on since its Saudi Arabian investment more than fifty years ago.
This time, the Russians are probably not swayed much by the relative amount of money they can make:
the real interest is an economic lever they can use to pressure Kazakhstan.
New developments are even more bizarre. There have been intermittent hints of pipelines through
Afghanistan and Pakistan to the Indian Ocean. They would export natural gas from Turkmenistan and oil
from Kazakhstan, but they cannot be built while there is still a vicious civil war in Afghanistan. It is not a
coincidence that the northern warlords are backed by Russian aid. The last thing that Russia wants is an
outlet to the south for the Caspian oil and gas.
Now the Kazakh are talking to the Chinese. The Chinese project an energy shortage as their economy
booms. A pipeline from Kazakhstan across Sinkiang to industrial China would be expensive to build, but
could make up much of China's projected energy deficit. But who is going to finance it? The Japanese
would once have been candidates, but they have economic problems currently.
Nothing is ever simple, and as I write trouble is brewing in the Black Sea. Most people have thought that
the difficult part of oil delivery from Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan would be in getting it to the Black Sea. Now,
it seems, that may not be true.
Transit to the Mediterranean is most cheaply accomplished by tanker, but that involves navigation through
the crowded passage of the Bosphorus. A tanker grounded and burst into flames there only a few years
ago, and Turkey is worried that a major disaster could occur even at current levels of traffic, let alone with
the increased traffic that would result from new oil flowing from Novorossiysk. Constraints on tankers will
undoubtedly increase.
That means that oil is more likely to transit to the Mediterranean in pipelines, which means major capital
invested in terminals on the Black Sea coast and the Mediterranean coast. Turkey seems to have assumed
that any pipelines would pass through its territory, an attractive proposition to a country that has no oil of
its own, and has been subject to some political pressure from its oil-rich Arab neighbors to the south. In
fact, the whole pressure on tanker traffic may be a Turkish ploy to ensure just that: the Russians seem to
think so. What the Turks would like most of all is a pipeline across Turkey to Ceyhan, a modern oilshipping terminal that currently has no oil to ship because of the UN embargo on Iraqi oil that used to
reach the Mediterranean at Ceyhan. So even the Middle East intrudes on the Caspian situation...
So, the Russians have begun to press for a pipeline that would pass through Bulgaria and Greece to the
Mediterranean, by-passing the Turks altogether. This has the Turks furious, especially as they are historic
enemies of the Greeks. This enmity is matched, however, by an ancient enmity between the Greeks and
the Bulgars (a great Greek hero is an Emperor of Byzantium called "Basil the Bulgar-Slayer"), so we shall
have to wait to see how this whole matter is resolved. It all depends on the successful delivery of Azeri
and Kazakh oil to the Black Sea, and as we have seen, that is not yet a sure thing for the near future.
The Spratlys are a group of islands, mostly coral reefs, atolls and sand bars, scattered in the South China
Sea. Most of them are so low that they are under water at high tide, and none is large enough to have any
inhabitants. Until recently, they were visited only by fishermen, lurking pirates, and ships straying off
course. There was no real reason for any nation to claim the Spratlys, and although there have been
various claims at various times, no nation has ever occupied the Spratlys, or exploited them economically.
The Spratlys sit alongside the major ocean routes between Asia and the Middle East. Much of the world's
oceanic commerce through the Western Pacific from the Middle East goes through or around the Spratly
Islands, including most of Japan's oil imports (which come from the Middle East).
Perhaps more important, the South China Sea may (or may not) have large oil fields that could be
exploited from rigs based on the Spratlys, and that has raised for the first time in any practical sense the
question of who owns them. Given an economic zone of 200 miles from the nearest land, claimants to one
or more of the Spratly reefs could claim ownership of any oil reserves under the entire region.
China claims the entire South China Sea, while Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei all
claim at least some of the Spratlys. Each nation has built some sort of "permanent" structure on a reef it
claims, to establish its presence there.
In 1988, the Vietnamese and Chinese navies briefly clashed over the Spratlys, with Vietnam losing six
ships.
In 1995, small-scale disputes began to escalate again. In January 1995 group of Philippine fishermen was
detained for a week by Chinese "troops" on Mischief Reef, which is 150 miles west of the Philippine island
of Palawan. Though it is underwater even at low tide, Mischief Reef is claimed as Philippine territory by the
Manila government. Also in January 1995, Vietnam dismissed a warning from China on some disputed
islands where the Vietnamese, with Russian collaboration, were conducting "a geological survey".
In March 1995, the Philippines announced that its military had destroyed some "foreign markers" from an
atoll and a reef. China said it had built the structures, but they were were simply "shelters for civilian
fishermen". Next, the Philippines seized 5 Chinese fishing boats in the Spratlys and arrested more than 60
crew members. They were charged with poaching protected sea turtles, fishing with explosives and
cyanide, and illegal entry into Philippine waters. In reply, the Philippines accused China of improperly
putting warships in the disputed region and building permanent structures on Mischief Reef. Three days of
talks in Beijing between China and the Philippines failed to resolve the dispute.
On March 25, 1995, a Taiwanese patrol boat fired warning shots at a Vietnamese fishing boat near an
island claimed by Taiwan. Taiwan said it planned to send a group of armed patrol boats to the area, to
erect a monument proclaiming Taiwan's sovereignty over the islands and to help to protect ships in the
area from rampant piracy. The project was cancelled at the last minute.
In May 1995 there was another confrontation at sea when two Chinese ships intercepted a Philippine naval
vessel carrying 38 journalists to see Mischief Reef. The journalists allegedly saw gun emplacements on
four clusters of metal buildings put up on the reef. The Chinese accused the Philippines of encroaching on
Chinese sovereignty by taking journalists there.
At the moment, this is low-level mutual harassment. But it escalated in 1999 briefly, and could do so again
at any time, by accident or design, with unpredictable consequences. Confrontations are still going on in
the Spratlys, and I shall update this story at class time.
AT the end of 2000 it was announced that the Chevron and Texaco oil companies would merge their
operations to create the fourth biggest oil-producing firm in the world behind Exxon/Mobil, Royal Dutch
Shell and BP Amoco. Texaco and Chevron were already partners in the Asian Pacific region with the
company known as Caltex but the new deal was a global one.
Dick Cheney's Halliburton gets "reconstruction" contracts through its subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root
(yes it's the same Brown Brothers, Harriman) without competitive bids. Osama Bin Laden is the son of one
of the wealthiest men in Saudi Arabia who just happens to have extensive financial ties to the Bushes.
David Rockefeller sold his lease to the land under the Trade Centers one month before the attacks. The
"hijackers" all managed to get preferential visas to train at a flight school with connections to the CIA,
drug running and Jerry Falwell. But would it be "crazy" to connect any of those dots?
The bogus 9/11 hearings finally opened last week. Everyone should read the testimony of Mindy
Kleinberg, whose husband died in the attacks (9-11commission.gov/hearings/witness_kleinberg.htm). She
paints a damning picture of incompetence so blatant that it would be a conspiracy in itself. But what if
something else was going on? What if the hijackers weren't just "lucky" nine or ten times over, in a row,
with nobody the wiser, while the myriad of governmental checks and balances failed completely? Would
that be conspiracy? Would it hide the fact that to get at the Caspian Sea oil reserves there would have to
be pipelines run through Afghanistan, Iraq and the Balkans?
How many people Rockefellers/Rothschild agents plotting together for years does it take to screw up the
world?

Anthony Cave Brown, the author of several well-received books on the history of espionage, here turns his
attention to a story as full of intrigue as any spy novel: the rise of Aramco, once the world's leading oil
concern. Led by a consortium of American investors, Aramco managed through considerable guile to insert
itself in territory tightly controlled by the British--thanks, in part, to the labors of one H. St. John Philby, a
British spy (and father of the notorious Soviet double agent Kim Philby) who held great influence in the
court of Saudi King Ibn Saud, and who, writes Brown, "was to betray the British government in favor of
Standard Oil." The Americans won Saudi favor not only through Philby, but also through an intrepid
Chicago-born entrepreneur and diplomat named Charles Crane, who did for Ibn Saud what the British
failed to do: Crane built a costly waterworks that brought drinking water into the Saudi interior. (For his
part, Philby obtained the monopoly on selling Ford automobiles in the country. In six years, he sold the
king 1,450 cars.) The result was a concession to the American concern to what the U.S. State Department
once called "the most valuable commercial prize in the history of the planet," namely, the vast oil fields of
Arabia; for an initial investment of £100,000, Aramco eventually extracted more than a trillion dollars from
the Arabian reserves. The American interest in Saudi and Persian Gulf oil has remained strong ever since,
Brown writes--he even calls the Gulf War of 1991 "the Aramco War"-- although the company was
nationalized in the mid-1980s. Brown's careful research and vivid prose yield a fine read for anyone
interested
in
contemporary
affairs
and
world
history.

Everything about the story of the American interest in Arabian oil is big. Standard Oil (whose post
Antitrust Act components formed Aramco in 1947 in the largest corporate merger the world had seen)
made trillions of dollars over its history, produced millions of barrels of oil daily by the late 1950s and, to a
mind-boggling extent, successfully intervened in international politics to protect its interests. Brown's skill
in relating the complex relations among the Saudi royal family, the secretive oil executives and the
American and British governments is no less impressive. The story begins with how, between the world
wars, Standard Oil challenged and?with the help of the same American government that had busted its
trust?beat the British Empire in the race for the prize of Arabian oil. Brown hangs this part of his account
on the lives and deeds of three men: Ibn Saud, the Arab prince allied with the British in WWI who founded
the Saudi dynasty; John D. Rockefeller, the American oil baron; and Harry St. John Philby, a British agent
who advised Ibn Saud. (Brown likens Philby to his infamous son, Soviet spy Kim Philby, arguing that his
loyalty to Ibn Saud led him to "betray" Britain by advising the king ultimately to favor Standard Oil over
the Empire.) Brown brings the reader through the post-WWII transfer of world hegemony from the British
Empire to the U.S., explaining the symbiosis of corporate and Saudi politics against the backdrop of the
Cold War, the Israeli-Arab conflict and the Iran-Iraq war. It's a great story well told. The only shortcoming
is that Brown relies so heavily on Aramco documents that his history is skewed a little too much to the
corporate side, relegating geopolitics to a secondary, though still vital, role. Copyright 1998 Reed

From Library Journal
Brown (Treason in Blood, LJ 11/15/94) presents a complex account of intrigue and international politics
from the oil fields of the Middle East. Based on extensive research, including private ARAMCO (Arabian
American Oil Company) files, Brown traces the discovery, development, and competition for control of the
Saudi oil reserves from World War I to the purchase of ARAMCO in 1988 by the Saudi Arabian Oil
Company. As he examines the clash of Western values with Eastern religious traditions, Brown reveals the
influence many prominent individuals have had on oil policy?including Franklin Roosevelt, Henry Kissinger,
Ibn Saud, John Philby, and Aristotle Onassis. Fast paced and highly entertaining, Brown's history
demonstrates a unique understanding of how the politics of Big Oil have reshaped global economies.
Highly recommended for public and academic libraries.?Robert L. Balliot Jr., East Greenwich Free Lib.,

From Booklist
Aramco, or the Arab American Oil Company, grew out of an agreement between Ibn Saud, who formed the
kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, and Standard Oil of California. In 1933 Ibn Saud granted the U.S.
company oil exploration and production rights, and other American companies joined the consortium that
became Aramco in 1944. The important role of Aramco has been acknowledged in Anthony Sampson's The
Seven Sisters: The Great Oil Companies and the World They Shaped (1975) and Daniel Yergen's The
Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power (1990), well-noted books written for popular audiences.
Now Brown, who has written half a dozen books about British and U.S. espionage and intelligence
operations, uncovers the shadowy details of the battle to win and keep control of the greatest
concentration of natural wealth in the world. With access to a cache of newly discovered personal papers
belonging to William E. Mulligan, Aramco's go-between with the Saudi government, Brown pulls back the
veil of secrecy that has always surrounded Aramco. David Rouse

Book Description
Here is the extraordinary tale of what the U.S. State Department once called "the most valuable
commercial prize in the history of the planet," the vast oil reserves beneath the sands of the Arabian
desert. Using Aramco files never before available to scholars or journalists, dozens of personal interviews,
and U.S. and British government documents, Anthony Cave Brown recounts the unceasing diplomatic and
corporate maneuvers aimed at obtaining this unimaginable wealth, an ongoing drama that involved such
figures as the great warrior-king Ibn Saud, founder of the Saudi dynasty; H. St. John Philby, the British
scholar-adventurer who was a chief advisor to the king; the American philanthropist Charles Crane;
Winston Churchill; Franklin Delano Roosevelt; and assorted oil-industry executives and engineers across
the United States. Played out against a background of war and the turmoil of an ancient culture thrust
abruptly into the twentieth century, the struggle to obtain the prize was won by the United States, which
emerged from the battle to become the dominant Western power in the Middle East.
