What would have happened if millions of American and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey [part of the Rockefeller empire] managers shipped the enemy’s fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars’ worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan [the Rockefeller family among others]? Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler’s communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT built the FockeWulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial ball-bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the US War Production Board in partnership with Goering’s cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored? Charles Higham
A new force was on the rise: Rockefeller. The Men Who Built America I: Vanderbilt, History 2012
By the late 1860s Cornelius Vanderbilt was the richest and most powerful man in the United States. The Men Who Built America II: Oil Strike
John D Rockefeller would turn American business upside down. Rockefeller had got the rate he was looking for. But in return he’d agreed to provide Vanderbilt with over sixty train wagons full of oil every day. ibid.
Rockefeller realised that oil had the potential to change the world, and make him rich in the process. ibid.
With the railroads in his pocket, Rockefeller could supply every home in America with Standard Oil Kerosene. ibid.
He [Rockefeller] wanted to own every refinery in the country. ibid.
If Rockefeller could build a pipeline long enough he’d be able to cut the railroads out of the oil business for good. ibid.
Rockefeller had created the largest corporate empire in America. ibid.

I got a call one day from an attorney woman I knew and she said would you like to meet one of the Rockefellers? I said, sure I’d love to. And er we [Nicholas Rockefeller] became friends, and erm, he began to divulge a lot of things to me. So he said to me one night, he said, that there’s going to be an event, Aaron. And out of that event you’re going to see we are going into Afghanistan so we can run pipelines from the Caspian Sea. We are going to go into Iraq to take the oil and establish a base in the Middle East, and we are going to go into Venezuela and then try to get rid of Chavez. And the first two they’ve accomplished – Chavez they didn’t accomplish – and er he said you’re going to see guys going into caves looking for [laughs], looking for people that they’re never going to find. You know, he was laughing about the fact that you have this War on Terror – there’s no real enemy – he is talking about how by having this War on Terror you can never win it because it’s an eternal war – and so you can always keep taking people’s liberties away. And I said, How are you going to convince people that this war is real? He said, by the media. The media can convince everybody that it’s real. I mean, you keep talking about things. You keep saying it over and over and over again and eventually people believe this. You created the Federal Reserve in 1913 through lies. You create 9/11 which is another lie. Through 9/11 then you fight a War on Terror, and now all of a sudden you go into Iraq which was another lie. And now they’re gonna do Iran. So one thing leading to another leading to another. I would say, What are you doing this for? What’s the point of this thing? You have all the money in the world you’d ever want, you have all the power. I said, you know, you are hurting people – it’s not a good thing. And he would say, what do you care about the people for? Take care of yourself and take care of your family. And then I said to him, what are the ultimate goals here? He said, the ultimate goal is to get everybody in this world chipped with an RFID chip and have all the money on those chips. And everything on those chips. And if anyone wants to protest, what we do, or violate what we want, we just turn off their chip. Aaron Russo, interview Alex Jones
I met Rockefeller through an female attorney I knew who called me up one day and said one of the Rockefellers would like to meet you. I had made a video called Mad as Hell, and he’d seen the video and wanted to meet me. He knew I was running for governor of Nevada. Sure, I’d love to meet him. And I met him and I liked him and he was a very very smart man. And we used to talk and share ideas and thoughts. And he’s the one who told me eleven months before 9/11 ever happened that there was going to be an event. Never told me what the event was going to be. But there was going to be an event. And out of that event we were going to invade Afghanistan. To run pipelines from the Caspian Sea. We were going to invade Iraq. To take over the oil-fields and establish a base in the Middle East and make it a part of the New World Order. We’ll go after Chavez in Venezuela. And sure enough later 9/11 happened ... I mean, why do you think 9/11 happened? And nothing’s happened since then. Do you think that our security is so great here that these people who pulled off 9/11 who are able to knock down another plane? Come on, it’s ridiculous! 9/11 was done by people in our own government and our own banking system to perpetuate the fear of the American people and subordinating themselves to anything the government wants them to do. That’s what it’s about. And to create this endless War on Terror. This whole War on Terror is a fraud, it’s a farce ... it’s a joke. And until we discover what really happened on 9/11 and who was responsible for 9/11 because that’s where the War on Terror emanated from. Aaron Russo, interview Alex Jones

I had spent three presidential campaigns backing governor Nelson Rockefeller against Richard Nixon. Henry Kissinger
I am not in a leadership position. I am supporting the President. He can exert the leadership and I can support him. Nelson Rockefeller
‘The United Nations,’ he told an audience at Harvard University, ‘has not been able – nor can it be able – to shape a new world order which events so compellingly demand ... The New World Order that will answer economic, military, and political problems,’ he said, ‘urgently requires, I believe, that the United States take the leadership among all free peoples to make the underlying concepts and aspirations of national sovereignty truly meaningful through the federal approach.’ Governor Nelson Rockefeller, article The New York Times February 1962, ‘Rockefeller Bids Free Lands Unite: Calls at Harvard for Drive to Build New World Order’
These are some of the reasons pressing us to lead vigorously toward the true building of a New World Order. Nelson Rockefeller
New York Governor Nelson A Rockefeller says as President he would work towards international creation of a New World Order. Associated Press dispatch 26th July 1968
Somebody has to take governments’ place, and business seems to me to be a logical entity to do it. David Rockefeller, Newsweek International 1st February 1999
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 40 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 more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.
The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practised in past centuries. David Rockefeller, disputed remarks at Bilderberg meeting June 1991
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. David Rockefeller, Memoirs
The negative impact of population growth on all of our planetary eco-systems is becoming appallingly evident. Unless nations will agree to work together to tackle these cross-border challenges posed by population growth, over-consumption of resources and environmental degradation, the prospects for a decent life on our planet will be threatened. David Rockefeller
You know, gentlemen, that I do not owe any personal income tax. But nevertheless, I send a small check, now and then, to the Internal Revenue Service out of the kindness of my heart. David Rockefeller
David Rockefeller is the most conspicuous representative today of the ruling class, a multinational fraternity of men who shape the global economy and manage the flow of its capital. Rockefeller was born to it, and he has made the most of it. But what some critics see as a vast international conspiracy, he considers a circumstance of life and just another day’s work ... In the world of David Rockefeller it’s hard to tell where business ends and politics begins. Bill Moyers
