Truth About Rockefeller - Emanuel Josephson |
John D. Rockefeller Jr. grew up as a shadow of his monstrous father. And as is the case of shadows, he was a grotesque exaggeration in his every trait. He was more penny-pinching and penurious, more conniving and ruthless, more grasping and greedy, more humbug in his poses of "piety" and "philanthropy", more precise and exacting, more dull and drear, more evil and hypocritic, and more psychopathic and criminal than even his father.
As an only son, he became the cherished disciple of his mad father. He benefited from a high intensification of the Fagin-like training that had been a tradition of the Dynasty that had been instituted by his criminally psychopathic grandfather, "Doc" Bill Rockefeller. Winkler aptly describes him as:
". . . almost a replica of his spectrelike, sepulchral progenitor. The junior Rockefeller is as steady and as emotional as a clock. He firmly believes that he was brought into the world to perpetuate the mental, moral and spiritual qualities of his father, and he is doing his level best to fulfil his destiny. Twice daily he sinks to his knees and beseeches the Heavenly Father to bless his earthly father. Without conscious irreverence, he draws little distinction in deification. . . . They share a deep and unshakeable belief in work. Godliness and their own brand of righteousness. The latter includes, of course, the righteousness of making money."
The delightful irony and humor of this Rockefeller press agent undoubtedly escaped his employers. It aptly expresses the grotesqueness of their psychopathy. They believe themselves to be gods.
John D. Jr's biographers give some amusing illustrations of the grotesque exaggeration that he presented of his father's dementia. Whereas John D. made it his practise to limit his tips to dimes, Junior long made it his practise not to tip at all. But on one occasion, a barber rendered him extraordinary service in an emergency.
Junior broke down and to the great astonishment of all, actually gave him a tip—a nickel! The nickel was promptly framed and labelled with the caption: "John D. Jr.'s Best Tip".
Though John D. Jr. did come under the influence and "charm" of his grandfather, "Doc" Bill, it was his father who had the greatest influence in molding his character and whom he sought to emulate and outdo. (21, p. 27) His mother's influence served him as a veneer to camouflage the "genius" of his paternal ancestry, with such items as abolitionism, religiosity and temperance. The superficiality of the latter is indicated by many of his subsequent activities.
From the very start of his business career, John D. Jr. became a partner and full-fledged accomplice in the subversive, criminal activities of his father, that had become a proud tradition of the Rockefellers. Whenever public resentment, antagonism and hatred rose high with respect to Rockefeller criminality, John D. Jr. served as a foil to deflect it with his hypocritic pose of "piety" and humility, while the gangster activities of the Dynasty continued unabated.
How well this sham was used by the Rockefeller press agents and confederates is illustrated by his widely publicized role as Sunday school teacher in the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. His homilies were quite frankly efforts to cloak the Dynasty's mad criminality with the sanctity of the Gospels interpreted in the light of its paranoid, self serving tenet: "Wealth, no matter how acquired, is Godliness". This is well illustrated by one of his most widely quoted homilies that began with the explanation that Jesus did not mean what he said about it being "harder for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle", because "conditions now are different"; nor did He mean what he said when He taught: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth." He instructed the Sunday School class:
"A man may possess great wealth on earth, and at the same time build up treasures in Heaven . . . The growth of a large business is merely the survival of the fittest. It does the greatest good for the greatest number, although perhaps at the expense of the few. The American Beauty rose can be produced only by sacrificing the early buds which grow up around it. $$So the growth of big business is merely the working out of the law of God and of nature"##
John D. Jr's homilies evoked justifiably acrid comment, such as: "With his hereditary grip on the nation's pocket book, his talks on spiritual matter are a tax on piety" Bishop Charles D. Williams commented in a sermon at New York's St. Bartholomew's Church:
"A young scion of wealth and greed, possessed of more dollars than ideas, recently used the figure of the pruning of a rosebush . . . A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but the odor of that rose to me smacks strongly of crude petroleum."
The situation was so ludicrous that swindling, pressagent, Rev. Fred T. Gates, who was one of Junior's mentors, advised him to cease and desist his pietistic exercises. The excuse was offered that Junior had had a "nervous breakdown" of the type that so often characterizes the psychopathy of the Dynasty. But he continued the classes and periodically showed the characteristic sensitivity on the matter of money that bears no exorbitant return, in his admonition:
"Many misguided persons think the true test of friendship is whether the friend will lend money. Don't you believe it. If you have any friendship for people, don't you spoil it by trying to borrow money from them."
The monomanic religious "principle" of the Rockefellers is: "Money is the most sacred of all things, and must be most preciously guarded." Biographer, pressagent, Fosdick characterizes the attitude as a "principle" of sacred trust that is neither miserliness nor the worship of Mammon. He undertakes to justify, however, the abandonment by John D. Jr. and his father, under the guidance of Reverends Gates and Faunce, of tenets and basic "principles" of their orthodox Baptist faith, including: denial that Christ had founded the Baptist or any other faith, or intended to do so; that He or his disciples had ever performed baptisms or conceived of Church communion; or that the Baptist faith was based on His teachings. And he relates that this change in faith was brought about by the realization that sectarianism stands in the way of the most vital, sacred to Rockefeller interest and "principle", the gathering-in of money under their "trusteeship".
In short, the Rockefellers are reported to have espoused "higher criticism" and "liberalism" to the point of advocating for others, not for themselves, the Communism that characterized the Nazarenism of early Christianity. Fired with zeal by a huge sum, $202 millions, gathered by a cooperative, non-sectarian United War Work Campaign under his chairmanship, John D. Jr. launched immediately after the Armistice, in cooperation with the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church and the Interchurch World Movement another drive with the objective of raising, or extracting from the public the trifling sum of $336,777,572. It is noteworthy that levying huge and ever larger tolls and taxes on the public, the "peasants" has always delighted the Rockefellers. That money-raising campaign failed. But as is quite usual in Rockefeller enterprises, it was not abandoned. It was merely set aside and revived at a later date on a less ambitiously money-grabbing scale.
As in the case of his father, there was little about the religiosity and "piety" of John D. Jr. other than the concept that "money is sacred". They acted in accord with the teachings that St. Paul so often reiterated in the Gospels: that the Ten Commandments do not apply to Christians. And the Golden Rule has been ignored. Religion has been persistently used by the Rockefellers to promote their business and personal advantage and interests, and to camouflage their criminality. His participation in the Institute of Social and Religious Research served to win the Dynasty the gratified support of a number of Protestant sects while swinging their attitudes further to the Marxist Left in support of the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests in Soviet Russia.
An investigation of Asiatic missions by an interdenominational group that was largely financed by Rockefeller, served as a pretext for his withdrawing support from the Northern Baptist Convention and influencing the swing further to the left of the various denominations engaged in the usual commercial exploration that was of interest to the Dynasty in that section of the world. How far to the left was John D. Jr. is indicated by the fact that "the Baptist movement inheritor of the extreme revolutionary left wing (Communist) of the Reformation" swung under his influence into the frankly Communist ranks it was acknowledged by Harry Emerson Fosdick at the opening, in 1930, of the Dynasty's Riverside Church. The Riverside Church became notorious as a meeting place of the Communist Party during the 1930's, the period when the Rockefeller-Soviet Axis was taking form. In the furtherance of their commercial interests the Dynasty waved the whole gamut of religious banners, including those of the Communist "faith" as they now wave the Mohammedan.
That is the significance of the speech that John D. Jr. made before the Baptist Social Union, on December 11, 1917, entitled "The Christian Church—What Of Its Future?" This address was delivered by him about eight months after the Rockefeller Dynasty had maneuvered the entry of the U.S. into World War I, that they had deliberately precipitated for the expansion of the oily Rockefeller Empire in Saudi Arabia, Baku and other Near East points, following the engineering of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. And he repeated the same speech after the Dynasty precipitated W. W. II. It is notable that although John D. Jr. was of an age at which many misguided but patriotic citizens volunteered to sacrifice their lives to serve the interests of the conspirators, he remained comfortably at home raking in the profits that piled up from the war efforts, giving sententious addresses that had been written for him by hired ghost-writers.
John D. Sr. had likewise scorned patriotic military service in the Civil War. He remained at home to profit from the sale of unstamped, bootlegged, Harkness liquor to the soldiers, in the tradition of "business as ever, profiteering as never before" in war. When his brother Frank volunteered for service in the Union Army, John D., in contemptuous fury, refused to lend him seventy-five dollars for the purchase of a uniform; and earned his undying hatred. This Rockefeller tradition has rarely been broken by the Dynasty except in token, undoubtedly profitable service in swivel-chair jobs far from the front, in the spirit of "Theirs is NOT to do and die, but to live and profiteer."
The crux of John D. Jr's solution of the religious problem, of the problem of Christianity, was that like the religion of Communism, Christianity also must become the "Church of the Living God". In that version of the address and in its repetition before the Protestant Council of the City of New York, on January 31, 1945, during World War II, there lurked the implication that he would make a good God. In it there emerged the delusional, megalomanic Roman concept of "Rex, Imperator et Deus". This represented the development of a more advanced phase of the Dynastic psychopathy that had fed and waxed on the intensive fake press agentry and propaganda relative to the bogus "philanthropies", and on the blind and stupid adulation that it had engendered among certain elements of the public (whom the conspirators mockingly call "mass man" and "peasants") deluded by their own cupidity and hope of sharing in the pelf.
This consequence of the so-called "philanthropies" was the very design and purpose for which John D. Jr. and swindler-almoner, Rev. Fred T. Gates had collaborated in urging John D. Sr. to set up as a bribe to public opinion and as "institutional advertising" for the Dynastic conspirators. This is clearly stated in a letter cited by Fosdick advocating that they be set up with:
"Funds . . . so large that their administration . . . be as much a matter of public concern . . . as any function of government . . ." and ". . . as to attract the attention of the entire civilized world . . ."
What made the fraud all the more delightful to the crafty conspirators was that it was accomplished free of cost to them, other than the relatively minor initial cost, by the device of tax-exemption which compelled the duped "peasants" to bear the evaded tax burden of their own deception and betrayal. As Chairman Wright Patman stated the situation:
"We must start with the fact that when an organization is tax exempt, it means that all other taxpayers must pick up the tab. Correspondingly, when any taxpayer reduces his tax by a deduction for contribution to a foundation, it means that all other taxpayers must make up for that tax reduction."
Furthermore, the bogus "philanthropists" retain financial control as well as direction of the foundations and use them: to flaunt the law in the conduct of their private business; to secure tax-exempt income for themselves; to mask bribery of public officials; to corrupt and subvert our governments; to pervert public opinion; to convert education to insidious propaganda; to foster their desired forms of totalitarianism including Communazism; to impose "internationalism" that served the interest of their oily Empire; to break parental discipline thereby fostering juvenile delinquency, adult criminality and breakdown of law and order as a pretext for establishing the dictatorship that they avowedly seek; to Sovietize the U.S. and the world; and to attain numerous malign objectives including systematic looting of the U.S. and the world. All of this was planned, and is being carried out under the pretense of benevolence, that has been made ultra-profitable for the fake "philanthropists" through control of medical and hospital practise and of the Drug Cartel, or Trust, by way of perversion of "medical research" for that purpose, and an endless array of other devices.
The cruel deception involved in this bogus "philanthropy" is obvious in every activity which it has corrupted in the process of "sponsorship". Thus education has degenerated under the influence of Rockefeller's General Education Board to the point where graduates of primary and secondary school learn neither reading, writing nor arithmetic, but are only schooled in the socialist "science" of Communism. This illiterate process has been mockingly named by the conspirators "Progressive Education". And its cost has mounted in geometric proportion to its deterioration. Collegiate and professional education has increased in cost from the nominal figure averaging two hundred dollars a year to the exorbitant level of eight to ten times that figure, under the stimulus of Rockefeller "philanthropy". Sen. Hartke (D. Indiana) has attacked the usury of "education loans" as high as 60% a year.
Likewise, the cost of illness, hospitalization and medicine have become so cruelly inflated under the same influence, that of Rockefeller "philanthropy", as to condemn many unfortunates to death, as the less costly way out. Under Rockefeller's Milk Trust, the cost of milk has mounted from six cents a quart to four to five times that figure. (26, pp. 93-120; 27) But the direct and indirect profits to the extortionate "philanthropists" have risen proportionately in every instance, as it has in these. The bogus "philanthropies" are swindles of even more ruthless type than those perpetrated on a smaller scale by "Doc" Bill.
John D. Jr. fell in line with the fixed Rockefeller tradition that it is their function and prerogative to loot all mankind, the "peasants" (by which term they mean all others than themselves). He and his father-in-law, Republican majority leader of Congress, Sen. Nelson Aldrich, launched the movements that provided the principal weapons for that looting: the XVIth Amendment that is the un-Constitutional (violative of the Bill of Rights) basis for the unlimited looting made possible through the Federal income tax, and the capital tax made possible by their bureaucratic edict that capital gain is current income in varying degrees; and the "Federal" Reserve Act that is the fraudulent basis of their private stock corporations, the so-called "Federal" Reserve System, that gives them control of the Treasury as well as of the private credit of the rest of the nation, and through it, of the world.
These were the initial moves of the Dynasty in the takeover of the Government to put a stop to its "interfering" with their criminal activities. And they served the purpose, with the aid of their German agent, Paul Warburg (who was brother of the chief of espionage and intelligence of Germany), of financing the entry of Germany in World War I, thereby precipitating it. These phases of the conspiracy served to enhance the power that the Dynasty had usurped through their "philanthropy" and tax exemption rackets. It made it possible for them to use the Government for the purpose of looting the nation on an unlimited scale. For it provided them one of the essential agencies for control and manipulation of national and personal wealth that made it more readily possible for them to create at will, booms and depressions that served handily to enrich themselves and impoverish others.
Their bribed and servile agent in forcing the passage of these fraudulent measures for control of wealth was the lecherous scoundrel, Pres. Woodrow Wilson, whom they put in office after entering into an agreement with him in the Westchester home of Frank Vanderlip when they found themselves confronted by the obstinacy of their in-law, Republican leader, Sen. Nelson Aldrich. He refused to introduce for them, as far too thievish, a bill that they desired. They decided to oust the Republican regime and to put the Democrats in power for the purpose of accomplishing their nefarious purposes. They accomplish this end by the traditional Rockefeller tactics of destroying the Republican Party from within by financing a split in the Party. For this purpose they used Theodore Roosevelt and his Bull Moose Party, so-called "liberals". This is merely another instance that forcefully illustrates the fact that the only "loyalty" of the Rockefeller Dynasty is to themselves.
The arrant hypocrisy of the Rockefeller pose of religiosity and piety, and the fraud of their pose of "philanthropy" and "humanitarianism", is further emphasized by the murderous Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. strike. Control of the company was held by Rockefeller interests. John D. Rockefeller Jr. was a key director of the company, while actively engaged in Sunday School and other religious activities. The company workers were receiving a starvation wage that prevailed following the Rockefellerengineered, revenge-dictated panic of 1907 that they had used to advantage in promoting their "Federal" Reserve fraud. The workers' circumstances were further reduced by costs in the "company town" and "company stores" to which they were compelled to resort for the purpose of yielding the Rockefeller interests additional loot. In desperation, the workers organized in 1913, and went out on strike.
The management, directed and supported by "pious" "philanthropist" John D. Rockefeller Jr., according to Rockefeller-Hearst editors, Lait & Mortimer in their U.S.A. CONFIDENTIAL (p. 183) sent in their Mafia gangsters and gunmen (135, p. 312) to strike fear into the hearts of the strikers, and to serve as strike-breakers. This "philanthropy" was accountable for the death of numerous strikers and many of their women and children, following the destruction of the colony on public land in which they were living, by arson. Public indignation rose high against the brutal criminality of the affair.
John D. Jr. followed the customary Rockefeller practice of flaunting the law and public opinion so long as they can "get away with it". But when aroused public opinion forced action by the authorities and investigation by Congress, he retreated in fear of criminal prosecution as accomplice before the fact, behind the shield of a "benevolent" and "philanthropic" pose. With the help of two press agents, William L. Mackenzie King who later became their Premier for Canada, and Ivy Lee, and an immense volume of publicity and propaganda, John D. Jr. condescendingly visited with the surviving workers assuming a pose of sympathy and piety. Under the pressure of public opinion he met their grievances with some concessions and proposed the setting up of a company union. This was represented to the public as Rockefeller support of unionization. And it was accepted as such by venal labor "leaders" in spite of the fact that it was recognized widely that his act represented the beginning of the Rockefeller takeover of unions as a device for attaining monopolies of industry that are within the law.
As part of Rockefeller's publicity buildup as a champion of labor by his propagandists, a book (no doubt ghosted for him by King and others) was published in his name under the title of $$PERSONAL RELATIONS IN INDUSTRY##. It advocated the so-called Colorado Plan. Stupid persons who pantingly adore wealth in the hope of getting some crumbs from the table, accepted the lame dodge as sincere, and as atoning for the villainy. But it did not take long for the Dynasty to establish their Maffista and other criminal agents as Labor barons (misnamed "labor leaders"), their partners in enslaving and levying tribute on the workers in unions dominated by them. They used them to establish monopolies in restraint of trade and violation of public and national interest, that by law are prohibited to industry. That is the current product of Rockefeller "philanthropy" in Labor. "Labor's" Federation Bank & Trust Co. of New York, for example, is in effect, a minor subsidiary of Rockefellers' Chase Manhattan Bank. And even a casual study of the matter reveals that the interests of the Rockefeller Dynasty are well served by their Labor Barons. It is notable that Jimmy Hoffa announced his support of Nelson Rockefeller instantly.
Another example of Rockefeller hypocrisy that illustrates the sham of their "philanthropy" that is attested to by Nelson Rockefeller and his pressagents, is the pose of support of temperance and prohibition. It can not be questioned that the passage of the Volstead Act and the 18th Amendment was largely due to Rockefeller support of the temperance movement during two generations. But the characteristic "breadth" of conscience of the Rockefeller Dynasty in no wise interfered with John D. Sr. making his first big money by bootlegging Harkness's unstamped liquor to Civil War soldiers. Likewise pressagent Morris acknowledges the truth in the story that relates that Nelson Rockefeller pointed out to his father that he was giving shelter to bootleggers in numerous speakeasies, tenants of his properties in midManhattan, and made a mockery his "support" of prohibition. John D. Jr., like his father, did not have any scruples, it is related, about profiting from bootlegging.
It would be interesting to know whether the Dynasty's role in bringing on Prohibition had the oblique motive, so characteristic of the Rockefellers, of gaining control of the distilling and liquor industry at bargain basement prices by bankrupting them. How extensive their present holdings are in the liquor industry, their nominees will never reveal. This would help explain Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's refusal to raise the New York State minimum drinking age, on the urgent request of the Governors of New Jersey and Connecticut, from eighteen to twentyone years in the interest of cutting down motor casualties of drunken, teen age drivers. If it could be determined whether the Dynasty derived other profits than merely the rent, to which Nelson Rockefeller referred, from the criminal element, the "Syndicate", the Unione Siciliano, or the Mafia and its Murder Inc., its bootlegging activities and associated narcotic smuggling and vending, its White Slave and black slave trade, its gambling activities and numerous other sordid crimes,—a better understanding could be had of the immunity under which the criminals, the so-called "syndicate" or Cosa Nostra, operate and the magnitude of their "take". It is said to exceed the total income of all legitimate business and industry in this country.
One must not permit oneself to be deluded by Rockefeller pretension of opposition to prostitution and "white slavery" that he adopted when he was appointed foreman by Judge O'Sullivan, in 1910, of a grand jury to investigate New York City vice, any more than one need delude himself with regard to Rockefeller's attitude toward profitting from bootlegging. One of the traits of the Rockefeller Dynasty of which they are proudest and which they have their press agents blazon most intensively, is their capacity for deceit and treachery. Thus pressagent Manchester relates John D.'s practise of pretending to fight organizations that he completely controlled and entrapping his real competitors who join forces with those controlled organizations. The strange accuracy with which Tom Dewey was informed of the activities of "Lucky" Luciano, the Maffista head of the White Slave trade in New York, when embarrassing legal developments with the regard to the American Bond & Mortgage Co. frauds required a diversion of newspaper headlines, is as illuminating as is Luciano's subsequent release from jail after serving a brief fraction of his sentence. It was effected by intervention of Murray I. Gurfein, a Rockefeller lawyer prominent in the Republican Party, who had participated in the prosecution of Luciano; and as a reward for this "distinguished service," he became an honored member of Rockefellers' top coterie of agents, of the Council on Foreign Relations. The situation is highlighted by Luciano's strange assassination when he was about to be returned to the U.S. to testify in an investigation of the narcotics racket. These facts give pause for thought on the powerful "protection" he enjoyed.
More food for thought in this connection is to be found in the report by Rockefeller-Hearst editors, Lait & Mortimer, in their U.S.A. CONFIDENTIAL that the favorite haunt of the Unione Siciliano, of the Maffistas, has been what was then known as the Patio Bruno, now the Italian Pavilion, at 24 W. 55 Street, New York, on Rockefeller property. It directly adjoins Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's New York City political headquarters, at 22 W. 55 Street, and is diagonally behind his secret headquarters in John D. Jr.'s former home at 13 W. 54th Street.
When Rockefellers built their homes on W. 53rd and adjoining streets, they were not exactly at the height of their popularity. Their pressagents had not yet brainwashed the public with regard to them. They feared for their lives when walking the streets. As a precaution, they built underground tunnels between their homes, that still exist. No doubt this was the inspiration of the underground tunnels connecting the buildings of Rockefeller Center. It is quite obvious that these tunnels could prove quite a convenience in hiding conferees of shady character.
It is an extraordinary fact that none of the hundreds of millions of Rockefeller "philanthropy" or of the other foundations controlled by the "Philanthropic" Foundation Trust that they have set up, has ever granted, so far as can be determined, a single penny for the study of the disease of narcotic addiction to determine the changes in the chemistry of the body that creates the craving for narcotics, or how to correct it. This is one of the major causes of narcotic addiction and crime in the country, and one of the chief sources of recruitment of criminals by the "Syndicate." This failure to make grants for the study of addiction (and crime) indeed correlates most startlingly with the avowed purpose of the Rockefellers, stated in the Occasional Letter No. I of their General Education Board, viz., to break parental influence and lay the basis for the juvenile delinquency that prepares the way for adult criminality.
The Rockefeller "philanthropy" that is most incredible to most folks, is their dedicated support of Communism. If it is borne in mind, as has been related, that Communism is a pseudo-philosophic justification for thievery on a nation-wide and world- wide scale; and that the Communist dictator enjoys the position of super-capitalist super-dictatorship that affords him the maximum of "security" so long as he remains dictator, one can more readily discern its appeal to the Rockefeller psychopathic mentality with its fear of insecurity and its mad dread of poverty. In addition, as applied to the American scene, it might have come to be enjoyed by them as vengeance for the rightful but ineffective prosecution of their criminal activities by the Government, which they regarded as "persecution".
A more pressing motive for precipitation of the first Russian Revolution of 1905 rested in the fierce competition of the Royal Dutch company with Rockefeller's Standard Oil in the European market on the basis of the former's monopoly of oil in Russia and the British sphere of influence. When Rockefeller's banker, Jacob Schiff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was questioned by a Congressional committee, he acknowledged that he had furnished the Russian revolutionaries under Ulianov, alias Lenin, and Bronstein, alias Trotzky, with funds. Knowing better than to do so, the members of the Committee pursued the matter no further. They did not ask him whose money he had turned over. Had they done so, they would have found that the basic motive of the revolution was seizure of Russian oil that was monopolized by Standard Oil's strongest competitor. But Schiff was not in the oil business. Had they questioned further, they would have found that following the failure of the revolution, Lenin and his followers were "placed in storage" by the conspirators in Switzerland. Bronstein, alias Trotzky, was living without visible means of support, on Rockefeller-Standard Oil property at Constable Hook, Bayonne, New Jersey, the site of a refinery.
By curious chance, directly prior to the outbreak of the first Russian Revolution, there was widely circulated in Russia a translation, under the name of a mythical Capt. Linus, of a book outlining a conspiracy to take over the world. It had originally been published by a Jesuit named Adam Weishaupt, as the program of the Communist conspiracy that he launched in Germany, on May 1, 1776, under the same name as that originally borne by his Jesuit Order, the Order of Perfectibilists. He later renamed it the Order of Illuminati. The translation attributed to "Capt. Linus" bore the title THE PROTOCOLS OF ZION. It was obviously intended to impair the status of the Jewish principals of Royal Dutch, including the Rothschild, Sassoon, Isaacs and Samuels families, who shared its control with the British and Dutch crowns. The conspirators failed in their purpose of getting the Czarist regime to cancel the Royal Dutch concessions. It merely brought about the death in widespread massacres in Russia, of thousands of Jews. No one would accuse Jacob Schiff, himself a Jew, of seeking that objective, no matter how unscrupulous he may have been. It was a characteristic activity of the "pious" Rockefeller "philanthropists", that was in some measure paralleled by their Colorado Fuel & Iron "benevolence".
Resourceful and unscrupulous, the conspirators, after the failure of the revolution and murderous libel, used their German agent, Paul Warburg, for the dual purpose of arranging a deal with Kaiser Wilhelm to finance the seizure of the Middle East oilfields by Germany through the construction of the Berlin-to-Bagdad railroad. In return they required a monopoly of the oil. They also agreed to aid the financing Germany's entry into World War I (96, p. 160; 97, II, 1577) through the fraudulent "Federal" Reserve System that they had lobbied through Congress, after ousting the Republicans from power, as has been related. (10) They did this in full knowledge that grabbing control of the Middle East from Great Britain, inevitably would mean war. The Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests provided Germany with the oil that was essential for the conduct of the war. When in 1916, before Verdun, the British awoke to a realization that they could not win the war without American aid, Winston Churchill offered the Rockefeller oily interests the rich Saudi Arabian oil concession in exchange for forcing the U.S. entry into the war.
Before Rockefellers' German partners got wind of their planned betrayal, the German General Staff was induced to pass Lenin, Trotzky and their Bolshevik crew through Germany in a sealed coach, and plant them in Russia to belatedly carry out the Revolution of 1917 which they hoped would give their Standard Oil interests control of the Russian oilfields. On the train, the Bolshevik revolutionists were provided, according to Col. Nikitine, with hundreds of millions of counterfeit ten ruble notes with which they purchased the votes of the soldiers and sailors and thus carried out the revolution for the conspirators. After the entry of the U.S. into the war, the RockefellerStandard Oil interests treasonously continued to supply the German Army with oil by way of their Spanish agent, Juan March.
In the meantime, Communism had become a "holy cause" of the Rockefellers and their foundations. Rockefeller profits are always a "holy cause" with them. It was through the agency of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial, set up in the name of John D. Jr.'s mother and directed by his agent Beardsley Ruml, that the Rockefellers first openly supported Communist and other Red causes in 1923. Among these given grants by the Memorial were the Russian Student Fund Inc., the Russian Zemstvos and Town Relief Committee, and the Institute of Pacific Relations. (11, pp. 223-4) Shortly after the setting up of the Rockefeller-Soviet Axis on the basis of a RockefellerStalin deal, the Rockefeller "philanthropies" were exclusively dedicated to the support of Communist causes and fronts. It is as impossible to find a patriotic, American cause supported by the Rockefellers and their foundations (other than purely commercial enterprises, to profitably lure the tourist trade, such as Williamsburg) as it was to find a Communist or Red "front" cause that they failed to support.
With world control of oil as a goal, John D. Rockefeller Jr. openly announced his objective of world domination and his adherence to the basic tenet of Communism, "internationalism", in an address that he delivered at International House, in New York, on November 8, 1924, that is quoted by Fosdick:
". . some day . . . no one will speak of 'my country', but . . . of 'our world' ".
The import of John D. Jr's advocacy of the Communist, "internationalist", "One World" conspiracy can hardly be overestimated. As Daniel A. Poling, editor of the CHRISTIAN HERALD, remarked in another connection:
"It is a serious thing for one man to release so powerful an influence . . It is questionable whether John D. Jr's personal and open support of the Communist "internationalist" cause did not outweigh in the influence on its advance the moneys of the foundations that he converted to its support. It inevitably spurred, by personal precept and example, the repudiation of patriotism and the advocacy of treason.
Miscarriage of the conspirators' plot for control of Russian oil that they had engineered World War I to attain, was threatened by the defection of a tool of Rockefeller's Ohio political machine led by Mark Hanna, Pres. Warren Harding. Harding supported Harry F. Sinclair in his deal with Lenin that would have given him control of Russian oil. This threat was met by the Rockefellers with their usual slimy craftiness.
The steal of Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve was rigged by their agent. Col. Robert W. Stewart, the President of their Standard Oil of Indiana. Sinclair was lured into the deal by the conspirators, doublecrossed and thrown into jail, in order to prevent his concluding the deal with Lenin. In the meantime, both Harding and Lenin were poisoned and disposed of, in order to make sure that they could not come to the rescue of Sinclair.
John D. Rockefeller Jr. dramatized the favorite Rockefeller ruse, over which they and their biographers gloat, pretending to fight an organization that they dominate and control, with an air of "righteous indignation". He volunteered to testify before an investigating committee of Congress, hypocritically expressed his pretended indignation at the deliberately planned and executed crime. He staged a well-publicized and dramatized act of ousting his obedient agent, Col. Stewart, amidst an accolade of propaganda launched by his pressagents. Col. Stewart was richly rewarded for playing the role of "villain" with a pension that was reported to be fifty thousand dollars a year. And his two sons were given equally remunerative executive positions in the company.
The advance to dictatorial power of their agent Stalin assured the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests the control of Russian oil for which they had plummeted the world into the holocaust of World War I. A deal entered into then has constituted the basis of the Rockefeller-Soviet Axis by which the world has since been ruled. Some of the terms of this deal can be gleaned from the book written by Rockefeller's pressagent, Ivy Lee, who was sent to Russia for the purpose of paving the way for its acceptance here. The first edition, published privately shortly after his return from Russia in May, 1927, appeared under the title THE USSR, AN ENIGMA. It was privately circulated by the conspirators to their agents, including their key agents who constituted their "Foreign Office" and are there indoctrinated and trained to serve them in the Government in Washington, their Council on Foreign Relations. Six months later, a revised edition for public deception was published at the instance of the conspirators by the Macmillan Co. under the title of PRESENT DAY RUSSIA.
The terms of the unpublished Rockefeller-Stalin deal can be surmised from the course of subsequent developments and the current course of world history. These were outlined by the author in his biography ROCKEFELLER "Internationalist". They included the recognition, industrialization and rearmament of the Soviets; fostering the spread of Communism on a more intensive scale through their foundations and control of all media of mass communication; and the setting up of a Red, "Popular Front" government in the U.S.A. No one can deny that the Rockefeller conspirators have dedicated themselves to living up to their end of the deal at the expense of the U.S. and the world, and that they are still assiduously pursuing that objective. Nor can it be questioned that their activities have been very largely responsible for the spread of Communist domination around the world; and currently, especially in our Western Hemisphere.
The panic and depression which the Rockefeller conspirators engineered with the help of their fraudulent, so-called "Federal" Reserve Bank, materially helped them set up their Communist-infested "New Deal" under the agency of their puppet, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This was the "Popular Front" promised Stalin by them. Its imposition on the U.S. might have come earlier, if the Rockefeller-Soviet conspirators had had their way, because of Japanese hostility to the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests that had barred them from producing the oil that they had discovered in China in the 1920's. It threatened to upset the Rockefeller monopoly of "oil for the lamps of China".
The Japanese returned to China in the early 1930's, to seize it and their oil by force; and to avenge themselves on the Rockefeller interests by systematically destroying their property in China. By 1931, the cost of this destruction to the Rockefeller interests was enormous, amounting to billions. Prof. Harry Elmer Barnes has reported in his pamphlet, THE STRUGGLE AGAINST THE HISTORICAL BLACKOUT, the overtures made by Rockefeller attorney-agent, Henry L. Stimson, then Secretary of State, to Rockefeller Presidential agent, Herbert Hoover, to induce him to declare war immediately on Japan in order to bring American G.I.'s to the rescue of their property in China; and the subsequent successful overtures made by him to the delightedly acquiescent Franklin Delano Roosevelt were the determining factor in FDR being given the Presidential nomination. James Farley, in his JAMES FARLEY STORY attests that Pres. Roosevelt was so anxious to make good on this deal with the conspirators that he was dissuaded only with great difficulty from immediately declaring war on Japan at his first Cabinet meeting after inauguration in 1933.
While thus engaged in seeking profit from a world-wide monopoly of oil, advancing the world-wide spread of Communism and the expansion of the Soviet Empire, and laying the foundation for World War II for the purpose of outstripping the thievery and loot of his forefathers and advancing the avaricious objectives of theirs to new and higher goals of psychopathic attainment, John D. Jr. and his interests by no means neglected their program of converting our government into a totalitarian device for looting and dominating the nation.
The basic plan of the conspirators was drawn up and published by their "social philosopher" and intimate friend, Hoffman Nickerson, in his book THE AMERICAN RICH. His mentality can be gauged from his admiration of the Inquisition as a "governmental institution". This is expressed in his book THE INQUISITION. He is an honored director of the Institute for Medieval Research, who is reported to speak of all persons outside of his "exalted" social circles, as "peasants". The book, published in 1930, presents the conspirators' plan for their forthcoming "New Deal".
The scheme of the conspirators, as presented for them by their sociologic adviser, Nickerson, is to destroy our Republic and nullify the Constitution by pretending to adhere to their form; and to sneakily convert our Government by deceit, cunning and trickery, into an absolute monarchy. Nickerson accords fully with the ecclesiastical view that representative government is "the work of Satan", and must be destroyed. He and his confederates speak of the republican form of government as an absurd "cult of equality", that can not possibly be good government. He agrees with the ecclesiatics in the concept that governing is the prerogative and function of a special ruling class. He is a bit more frank and honest in his description of that class than are the churchmen who describe them as "rulers by divine right". He defines the ruling class as the predatory plutocratic element who are "perpetually rich" by virtue of usurpation of the power to loot the populace and dip their hands into its pockets, at will, through their control of the government. It is to the peculiar interest of the plutocratic "perpetually rich" thieves to establish a form of government that is good for themselves and will perpetuate them in power as governmental thieves. And, he concludes, the only absolutely perfect form of government is a hereditary absolute monarchy. In this respect he is fully in accord with the orthodox ecclesiastics. But, he says that it might be wiser, at the start not to violate American sentiment regarding the elective principle by undertaking to impose on the U.S. an openly hereditary monarchy. He expressed himself as doubting that the idea of hereditary transmission of office would be accepted soon by Americans, when he wrote the volume in 1929. Within a period of three decades, the acceptance by the public of the concept of hereditary transmission of public office has been brought to full fruition by the conspirators' propagandists, though it seemed inconceivable to Nickerson that this could be brought about. In this, as in all other respects, the Rockefeller conspirators have outstripped in performance their own plotters' and planners' programming.
Nickerson's program was to build up the ringleader among the American Rich as an "indispensable man". This was to be accomplished by dividing the people in groups, minorities. Behind the scenes he would be busily engaged in setting them at each others' throats in violent dissension. In each case the ringleader was to pose on the public scene as the only man who composed their differences. The "indispensable" plutocratic ringleader would thus make himself the darling of the masses; and he would be elected to the Presidency, and repeatedly reelected so frequently that his election would become a popular habit and he would be undefeatable.
The conversion of the role of the "indispensable man" from that of President to absolute monarch, Nickerson related, is a simple matter for the conspirators. It merely requires the elimination of the checks and balances on the power of the President that the framers of the Constitution "unwisely" and "reluctantly, under pressure" incorporated into it, to convert his role to that of absolute dictator. These restrictions and checks consist, principally, of the division of power: the power of Congress to initiate and pass legislation, especially the power of the House of Representatives to initiate budgetary legislation; and the power of the Judiciary, especially of the Supreme Court, to interpret and to rule on the validity of that legislation.
The elimination of these restrictions on the monarchic, dictatorial power of the conspirators' "indispensable man" who is repeatedly relected to the Presidency, Nickerson pointed out, is quite simple and readily accomplished. By his power under the Constitution to appoint the Justices to the Supreme Court, he could "pack" the court with agents of the conspiracy. And he could do so without arousing the suspicion or opposition of the nation if he were patient and went about it cautiously and slowly. The elimination of the check and balance constituted by Congress and its powers would be even simpler and more rapidly accomplished, and that body converted into a powerless "advisory" body whose advice the monarch could and would disregard.
The key to emasculating Congress and converting it into a mere "rubber stamp", Nickerson related, was already at hand. It was the "executive budget plan" that already prevailed in thirty-four of the fortyeight states as a result of the planned and plotted activities of the conspirators and of their treasonous, Sovietizing "1313" agencies. In seven of the states, including New York, the conspirators had already succeeded in restricting the budgetary powers of the legislatures. The conspirators would merely have to extend this plot to the Federal Government and to Congress to accomplish their subversive purpose. If the Presidential elective monarch would present to Congress, year after year, budgets so huge and costly that no member would dare add to it, so detailed and complex that members could not possibly find the time to read it and certainly could not manage to make a detailed study of it, and so richly provided with graft and so-called "pork barrel" for each and every member of Congress that none of them would dare to sincerely attack and expose it for fear of losing their shares in it— Congress would get into the habit of accepting the dictated budget, would abdicate and eschew the powers granted it by the Constitution and would by accepted custom surrender those powers to the President-become-monarch.
The mere surrender of the power to initiate budgetary legislation, Nickerson related, had established the "principle of monarchical initiative". The Presidential monarch would easily rob Congress of its Constitutional power to initiate any legislation by the simple device of repeatedly sending messages to Congress, under the pretense of faked and contrived "emergencies" and "crises", demanding the passage of legislation desired by the conspirators and represented as urgent. This could be done under the provision of the Constitution which directs the President to send a message to Congress on the state of the nation. By sending innumerable messages to Congress under the aforesaid pretenses, the President could keep it so busy introducing and considering legislation desired by the conspirators that it would not have any time for initiating any legislation of its own. After a lapse of years of abdication of its Constitutional power to initiate legislation, it would have become established and accepted custom that all legislation be initiated by the Presidential monarch.
The program enunciated by Nickerson became the blueprint of the Rockefeller-directed "New Deal" that was put in force by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt and their other puppets and agents under direct Rockefeller direction and supervision. The victimized public paid the cost to the conspirators by way of tax-exemption of the Rockefellers and their foundations. Almost simultaneously, this same "New Deal" dictatorship pattern, that the conspirators were testing overseas through their agent, Stalin in the Soviets, was imposed by other agents of theirs: Hitler, in Germany and Mussolini, in Italy.
Under the direction of John D. Rockefeller Jr. the familial criminal psychopathy assumed an even more evil, Mephistophelean and Satanic "internationalist" cast tinged with treason. He maintained the Dynastic tradition which requires that each generation must outstrip the preceding in its attainments in both "muscle", or racketeering power, and loot. He established indirectly the absolute power of the Dynasty over the U.S. and the USSR. And he got under way the conversion of the U.S. to a Rockefeller Duchy, and impressed its wealth and "peasants" into service for conquering the world for the Rockefeller Empire. In the meantime, Americans were duped, by Rockefeller's pressagents, into the absurd belief that they are "benevolent philanthropists".
So cunning has been the false Rockefeller propaganda that only the rare, intensely acute observer discerned the facts and the true situation that had developed. Thus Grand Duke Alexander, of Russia, reports in his autobiography entitled ONCE A GRAND DUKE that when he visited the U.S. in 1913, he observed that the Rockefellers had already converted the country into a colony, or province, of the Rockefeller Empire.
Eloquent proof of the development of Rockefeller chicanery and its refinement within a generation, and of their mastery of the government for the looting of the nation by taxation while exempting from any tax levy their booty, can be discerned in a comparison of the handling and treatment of the respective estates of John D. Sr. and of Jr. In 1905, it was estimated, competently, that John D. Sr. was already worth more than five billion dollars. In the crash of 1907, the inflation of World War I, the operation of the fraudulent "Federal" Reserve Bank, the panics of 1921 and 1929, and the intervening booms, the Rockefeller fortune grew many hundredfold. The process was in no way retarded by the Federal income tax that the Rockefellers had maneuvered to impose on the rest of the nation for their enrichment by numerous devious governmental processes, while they virtually completely exempted themselves. Nevertheless, John D. Sr.'s total estate was reported to be merely twenty-five million dollars, and that report was unquestioningly accepted by the Treasury and tax officials. Some tax was paid by the estate.
A quarter of a century later, John D. Jr. terrorized by Nelson's brazen activities died under hush-hush circumstances in an institution in Tucson, Arizona, and under strange circumstances, was hurriedly cremated within hours after his death, May 11, 1960 before the entire family had assembled. It was reported that anxiety had led him to resort to drink with resultant aggravation of his psychopathic mental state.
The "New Deal", World War II and the Korean War had enormously increased the Rockefeller fortune. The Dynasty had gained control of the entire array of war industries as well as the leading industries in every other field, to add to their control of oil and finance, throughout the world. Its income has been estimated at more than a million dollars a minute, a trillion dollars a year. This estimate of their income emerged in spite of their efforts to withhold the facts regarding it from the public by such devices as designating minor capitalists whose total wealth is less than their daily income, such as their victimized dupe, Jean Paul Getty, as "the richest man in the world." The entire estate of John D. Rockefeller Jr. was nevertheless reported to be a trifling one hundred and fifty million dollars. And it was baldly announced directly after his death, that not a single penny of taxes would be paid on it to any government. And no inheritance tax whatsoever was paid on it!
By way of contrast a minor millionaire died at about the same time, leaving an estate that was valued at about ninety million dollars. His estate was taxed by the Federal and State governments more than eighty-four million dollars, leaving his heirs about six millions.
It has been estimated that if John D. Jr.'s wealth had been honestly required to pay a full inheritance tax prescribed by the law, the Treasury would be so enriched that income taxes could be suspended for the next half century with honest administration. But Rockefeller's agents, including Beardsley Ruml, did not write tax laws that would require them to pay anything but nominal taxes, thanks to an endless series of exempting loopholes. Even in death the "philanthropic" conspirators defraud the nation!
