Late last year, the New York Daily News ran a curious story on 85-year-old billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller who is funding a special report on UFOs to be sent to President Clinton and other world leaders.
Michael Luckman, director of the New York Center for UFO Research, 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.“
The billionaire’s name again pops up as a VIP attendee at Bill Clinton’s birthday party held on a Rockefeller estate in August last year. The New York Daily News of August 24 reported that while President Clinton was on the prowl for campaign cash, Laurence was on the lookout for ETs.
“Rockefeller has been pressing the Clinton administration to open the government’s UFO files,” the Daily News notes. Apparently, Laurence thinks it’s time the government came clean on the subject of UFOs, particularly the rumored crash of a spacecraft in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.
Is Laurence just another ‘truth seeker‘, or could there be a more sinister motivation behind his devotion to this obscure quest? Certainly, there’s no doubt that the Rockefellers constitute one of the world’s wealthiest and most influential dynasties.
Laurence’s brother David, a longtime chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, heads the family’s global corporate empire. The Rockefeller family played instrumental roles in establishing powerful supranational bodies like the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderberg Society.
If anyone doubts the global power of the Rockefeller dynasty and their active behind-the-scenes involvement in international affairs, just consider these remarks by investigative author Malachi Martin in The Keys of This Blood. He states:
“Television commentator Bill Moyers found out during a fifteen-day, globe-spanning trip in the company of David Rockefeller that ‘just about a dozen or fifteen individuals made day-to-day decisions that regulated the flow of capital and goods throughout the entire world.'”
As Bill Moyers himself said, “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.”
History of Social Engineering
A quick history lesson reveals that the Rockefeller family has a long and some would say — infamous — a record of involvement in shaping social causes.
Thirty years ago when the radical student movement was gaining momentum in North America, the Rockefeller dynasty was surprisingly quick to offer funds. A student leader James Simon Kunen, in his book entitled The Strawberry Incident, tells about the 1968 Students for a Democratic Society convention in which, “men from Business International Roundtables,… tried to buy up a few radicals. These men are the world’s industrialists and they convene to decide how our lives are going to go. They offered to finance our demonstrations in Chicago. We were also offered ESSO (Rockefeller) money.”
The Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver warned that the megarich were buying themselves a revolution. He wrote:
“There is a danger to the healthy development of the American Revolution in the fact that often revolutions are manipulated by the ruling class to appear to be a bigger threat than they really are.”
Consider this comment by Frank Capell in the U.S. Review of the News:
“Of course, we know that these radical students are not going to take over the government. What they are going to do is provide the excuse for the government to take over the people, bypassing more and more repressive laws to ‘keep things under control’.”
Rockefeller’s money effectively bought the 60s student revolt and steered it in the direction desired by the U.S. Establishment. The opportunity for constructive social change was lost thanks to the ‘support‘ of ‘Rockybucks‘.
Just ponder some of the social programs and new ideas are taken to heart by the Rockefellers in the past. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil was once, well before the turn of the century, a near-monopoly. It was perceived by the public, quite rightly, as an utterly ruthless brigand that would stoop to blackmail, murder, bribery, bombing, and intimidation to maintain its power. To ‘survive‘ Rockefeller embarked on a gigantic “philanthropy” program to finance the pet schemes of the U.S. ruling class. The paternalistic, elitist nature of one such scheme was set out in Rockefeller’s General Education Board Occasional Paper No.1, which declared:
“In our dreams, we have limitless resources and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition, we work our own goodwill upon a grateful and responsive rural folk… The task we set before ourselves is a very beautiful one, to train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are. So we will organize our children into a little community and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way, in the home, in the shop, and on the farm.”
Rockefeller the ignoble robber baron was transformed into Rockefeller the great civilizer and humanitarian. The all-wise father guiding and chastening his wayward children.
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. This did not stop the ubiquitous Rockefeller Foundation, a decade later, offering huge grants to the Black civil rights leader and preacher Father Divine. By 1941 Father Divines’ Peace Mission had over a million members and was quickly gaining public attention. Father Divine’s widow wrote that her husband maintained his freedom of thought and action by refusing Rockefeller’s financial aid.
Others were not so fortunate.
Dr. Wilhelm Reich, shortly before he mysteriously died in prison in 1957, told prison psychologists that the Rockefeller Foundation “made me a tool of its socioeconomic interpersonal relations.”
Both the American Medical Association [see New Dawn No.33 & 34] and the psychiatric establishment, who had persecuted Reich for years received substantial funding from the Rockefeller clan.
