http://www.bankindex.com/read.asp?ID=1135 Notes and Quotes: "The Rockefeller File" by Gary Allen, compiled by Victor Thorn August 16, 2002 NOTE: The data included in the following article pertains to the time the book was published by '76 Press in 1976. Some of the company names have changed and/or have been purchased by other companies. Walter Cronkite - CBS Reports - "The Rockefellers are the epitome of the nation's permanent Establishment: governments change, economics fluctuate, foreign alliances shift - the Rockefeller's prevail." On September 29, 1916, the New York Times called John D. Rockefeller America's first billionaire. The Rockefeller's protect their money via Trusts and Foundations. Ever since 1913, when the Federal Income Tax was implemented, Congress allowed the wealthy elite to protect their money so that it wouldn't be subjected to the same enslaving taxation that hinders all the rest of us. By placing their money in Trusts and Foundations, these wealthy individuals give up "ownership" of their properties, but they ultimately retain control of it via positions on each foundation's Board of Directors. Thus, they don't have pink slips or titles because their assets are in trusts, yet they ultimately keep control while not having to pay income, probate, estate, or inheritance taxes. Pretty sneaky, huh! When this book was written, the Rockefeller's controlled at least 200 trusts/funds, but the number could well be in the thousands if one uncovered all the complex layers of their financial empire. Because of all these complexities, they virtually pay no taxes. In fact, in 1970 Nelson Rockefeller testified before a Judiciary Committee and stated that although his income was 33 million dollars the year before, he paid NO INCOME TAXES. If that wasn't bad enough, he then admitted that his actual income was 198 million, not 33 million. But the particulars were the same - no income taxes paid by one of the richest men in America. The Rockefeller Estate in Pocantico Hills consists of over 7,500 acres, has 70 miles of private roads, 75 buildings, underground bunkers with underground entranceways so the "help" can enter without being seen by the owners, and has 500 full-time employees to maintain the grounds. The Rockefellers own a significant portion of America's top 50 companies - IBM, Chase Manhattan, Mobil, Kodak, GE, Texas Instruments, and Exxon. Their money is used to control the government, big business, energy, banking, the media, religion, and education. John D. Rockefeller once said, "Competition is a sin." He deduced that the only efficient way to run anything was via a monopoly. When John D. started his oil business in 1859 as a small fry, he used bribery, coercion, violence, spies in his competitor's workplace, and a variety of financial schemes to one-up the next guy. Within 30 years, by 1890, 90% of all American crude oil was refined by his Standard Oil company. John D. eventually controlled two of the most valuable commodities on earth - money and fuel - thus giving him the ability to create financial or energy crisis's whenever it best suited his (or the Controllers) interests. Here are some of the companies that are under the Rockefeller umbrella: - Chase Manhattan - not the largest bank in the world, but the most influential - The largest controlling block of stock in at least 21 major corporations, including United Air Lines, Northwest, Long Island Lighting, and Atlantic Richfield. - Majority control in IBM, Mobil, Texaco, IT&T, Westinghouse, Boeing, International Paper, Sperry Rand, Xerox, and National Steel. - Transportation companies under their corporate thumb - Penn Central, TWA, Eastern Airlines, United, Delta, Braniff, and Northwest. Other corporations where they have financial interest - AT&T, Motorola, Honeywell, General Foods, and Burlington Industries. When someone owns a powerful financial institution, they can make loans to specific companies and governments, then call the shots for these entities and make them jump through hoops. If they don't toe the line, then they don't get the money. This is the jist of high-finance in a nutshell, and one of the primary reasons why we still don't have gasoline-free cars in this country. No one's loaning money (or enough of it) to the companies that are trying to find alternative-source automobiles. In all, the Rockefeller web envelopes 37 of the top 100 industries, 9 of the top 20 transportation firms, 1 utility company, and 3 of the 4 largest insurance companies. The Washington Post once described the Rockefeller's: "The power of the family fortune is beyond measure." Quote from the author: "Philanthropy is the essential element in the making of Rockefeller power. Philanthropy generates more power then wealth alone can provide." In the early 1900's, John D. Rockefeller was the most hated man in America, his reputation worse than that of Scrooge. So, what did he do? He hired a Public Relations firm to re-do his image. How so? Well, whenever 'ol John D. would walk around in public, he carried dimes and threw them to all the little street urchins (of course, only when camera's were there to catch the moment). Here's the way foundations work: Once someone like the Rockefeller's donate money to one of these entities (or CREATE one themselves), then they assume control of it and have this foundation spend money on THEIR companies to bring them even more wealth! It's great for them because it's all a big cycle of donating money (tax free), then waiting for this money to be incorporated back into their own companies to generate more profits. John D. called it "The Principle of Scientific Giving!" The Rockefellers also SUPPORTED the passing of a graduated income tax in 1913 because they found ways to avoid it! While the rest of us keep supporting THEIR governments by paying taxes, we're also kept DOWN because we can never rise to their level. Why? The answer's easy - we're playing on an uneven field. A graduated income tax also keeps competitors at bay because they have to keep paying taxes (they haven't risen to the elite level yet), while the Rockefellers can hide their money in trusts/foundations. Thus, their assets are non-taxable, then passed from generation to generation, perpetuating the family's king-of-the-hill status. The Rockefellers then use groups like the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) to carry out their governmental plans. Fred Gates, who was in charge of the Rockefeller's General Education Board, said in "Occasional Paper No. 1": "In our dreams we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our moulding hands." In regard to higher education, the Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations provided 2/3's of all endowment funding to colleges from 1900-1933. Who do you think controls these institutions of higher learning? They have become a quasi Ministry of Education, exerting a high degree of control over their curriculum and what is taught. Author quote: "Those who control education will, over a period of several generations, control a nation." The author goes on to say that, considering all the money that the Rockefeller's have given out over the past century, "We have been unable to find a single project in history of the Rockefeller Foundations which promotes free enterprise. Almost all of the Rockefeller grants have been used directly or indirectly to promote economic and social collectivism, i.e. socialism-facism." He goes continues: "The easiest way to control or eliminate competitors is not to best them in the marketplace, but to use the power of government to exclude them from the marketplace." And how does one do that? By controlling the government! John Franklin Campbell (New York Magazine) - "Practically every lawyer, banker, professor, general, journalist, and bureaucrat who has had any influence in the foreign policy of the last six presidents - from Franklin Roosevelt to Richard Nixon - has spent some time in the Harold Pratt House (home of the CFR). George Wallace (former Presidential candidate): "There isn't a dime's worth of difference between the Democratic and Republican parties." Admiral Chester Ward - U. S. Navy - described the goal of the CFR as the submergence of U. S. sovereignty and national independence into an all-powerful one-world government. James Warburg - February 17, 1950 - CFR Member - testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - "We shall have world government whether or not you like it - by conquest or consent." The Trilateral Commission, in the "Triangle Papers" released between October 1973 and December 1974, said that their four major goals were: 1) Renovation of the world's monetary system. (Nearly the entire European continent just switched their currency to the EU in January, 2002.) 2) Loot the United States of their resources for radicalization of the "have-not" nations. 3) Step-up trade with communist countries. (In the 1990's, both NAFTA and GATT were passed by the United States Congress.) 4) Create energy crisises for greater international control. (Think back to the gasoline and fuel oil disasters last year when gasoline prices rose to nearly $2.00 a gallon.) Dr. Meford Evans - "Energy makes the world go 'round. Who controls what makes the world go round controls the world." Thomas Jefferson - "Since 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." John D. Rockefeller's favorite tactic was as such: When he had almost total control of the oil industry in the early 1900's, his favorite way to topple a competitor was from the inside. He'd plant spies (bugs) in their offices, or bribe certain employees to undermine the firm's operations. The Rockefeller's influence in Presidential politcs began in 1894 with the election of William McKinley, but they didn't really start determining policy until FDR was elected in the 1930's. That's when they got their hands filthy stinking dirty. The New Deal wasn't implemented to help business and the stock market recover from the affects of the Great Depression, but to drag it out for a few more years. The Reason? They wanted to keep the stock market on a downswing so they could buy more shares at lower prices. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
