Description: War Thunder is a next generation military MMO game dedicated to...
The famous tycoon and founder of the oil company Standard Oil, which made him America's first billionaire, and his family one of the richest and most powerful in the history of the country.
David has always lived in luxury. For example, when he roller-skated with his brothers on Fifth Avenue, a limousine followed them: in case the children got tired, writes. In 1936, Rockefeller graduated, after which he studied for a year at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
In 1940, he defended his doctorate in economics at the University of Chicago, and in 1942, a representative of the famous family entered the private military service where he rose to the rank of captain.
After the war, Rockefeller Sr. worked at Chase Manhattan Bank, of which he became president in 1961. Chase Manhattan has long been known as the "Rockefeller Bank", although the family never owned more than 5% of its shares. However, Rockefeller was not just a manager. In the 70s of the last century, he made it "David's Bank", expanding its activities internationally. In April 1981, he resigned due to reaching the age limit for this position.
“In my opinion, he will not go down in history as a great banker,” said John McCloy, a Rockefeller friend and former chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, in a 1981 interview. “He will become a real person as a respected and devoted member of the community,” notes The New York Times.
Rockefeller's influence was felt in Washington and in the government of New York, in art museums and the best universities in the world. In particular, he contributed to innovation in public schools and the provision of apartments for the poor and the middle class, the newspaper notes. Rockefeller was instrumental in mobilizing the private sector to deal with the financial crisis in New York in the mid-1970s.
The billionaire constantly traveled the world, meeting with the most influential people in the world. different countries. So, in his personally created catalog, there are about 150 thousand names, meetings with which he held as a statesman and banker, writes The New York Times. Among them are Nikita Khrushchev, the President of Egypt and many other political figures.
“Few people have met so many leaders in their lives as I have,” he said of himself.
In 2002, at the age of 87, Rockefeller published an autobiography called Memoirs. When asked why he decided to do this, Rockefeller replied in his usual restrained manner: “I thought that I was leading quite a interesting life so why not write about it? — quoted by The New York Times.
The Rockefeller clan has always played key roles in American politics and business. David's brother Nelson even served as Vice President of the United States from 1974 to 1977. He was proposed to this post, who became president after his resignation.
Many consider the Rockefellers to be the most powerful family in the world. The Rothschilds compete with them, and conspiracy theorists call this bunch a shadow world government. In the last US elections, the Rockefellers allegedly bet on, and the Rothschilds on.
In 2017, Rockefeller Sr. became the oldest billionaire in the world. At the age of 101, he was worth $3.3 billion and ranked 581st. Before his 102nd birthday, he did not live for about two and a half months.
Rockefeller Sr. remained physically active until the end of his life. According to the press, he underwent six heart transplants. But the veracity of this information was regularly questioned. It is likely that after some time we will hear the version that Rockefeller did not die, but simply went into the shadows to rule the world from a secret shelter with a seventh or eighth heart.
David Rockefeller was the representative of the third generation of the famous American financial dynasty. His grandfather, John Rockefeller, was the founder of the Standard Oil Company oil trust, and the country's first dollar billionaire.
David was born in New York on June 12, 1915. He graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in 1936 with a degree in English history and literature. But later he entered the London School of Economics. In 1940, the young Rockefeller earned a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago and married his own age, Margaret McGrath, the daughter of a Wall Street law firm partner. They subsequently had six children in their marriage.
In the same 1940, David began his career. He first worked as a secretary to the mayor of New York, then as an assistant regional director in the Department of Defense, Health and Human Services. However, in May 1942 he went to the front as a private. He served in North Africa and France, served as assistant military attaché in Paris, and was engaged in military intelligence. In 1945 he ended the war as a captain, and in April 1946 he joined the Chase National Bank in New York as assistant manager of the foreign department.
In 1952, David Rockefeller achieved the position of first vice president of the Chase National and facilitated its merger with the Bank of Manhattan. So in 1955, the giant of the financial industry, Chase Manhattan, was created.
From 1961 to 1981, Rockefeller was chairman of the board and at the same time president of Chase Manhattan Bank, and since 1969 he also served as CEO jar. On April 20, 1981, he had to retire due to age, but he remained chairman of the Chase Manhattan International Advisory Committee.
Along with financial activities, David Rockefeller was also involved in other projects, while becoming famous for his neo-globalist and views. He chaired the Council for international relations, was a member of the famous Bilderberg Club, participated in the Dartmouth conferences and the Trilateral Commission, supported various charities and public organizations. By the way, in 2008 he donated $100 million to Harvard University, which is the largest private donation in the history of this institution.
On March 20, at the age of 101, David Rockefeller, one of the most influential people in the world, died. His grandfather, John Rockefeller, is one of those American entrepreneurs who were called "robber barons". They built a powerful American economy. They were aggressive in business and merciless to competitors. And incredibly rich. Many times richer than today's billionaires. Adjusted for inflation, in today's prices, the then fortune of John D. Rockefeller is estimated at 340 billion dollars. And he was the richest man in the world. Perhaps the richest will remain forever.
Another "robber", Andrew Carnegie, a steel magnate - 309 billion dollars. Henry Ford, automobile king - 190 billion. What about today's numbers? Bill Gates is the richest, 75 billion. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook - 45 billion. A total of 45 billion.
David Rockefeller, John's grandson, was not so rich. However, he had a significant impact on world politics. "Bilderberg Club"; David Rockefeller is one of the founders of this club. Several hundred the most influential people in politics, business, the media. Some believe that these are the masters of the world. Don't know. If the world had real owners, perhaps there would be more order in it. They gather in closed meetings where no outsider can enter. No official statements, no transcripts of meetings. The club is headquartered in New York, on the premises of the Carnegie Endowment, the very same Carnegie who had 309 billion. That huge century old money continues to influence the life of the world. They didn't disappear. They have become political power, ideology, control over information.
David Rockefeller was one of the ideologists of globalization - a single world, the erasure of borders, the infringement of national sovereignty. He was even accused of acting against the interests of the United States as a sovereign country.
“For more than a century, ideological extremists have accused the Rockefeller family of the all-encompassing menacing influence they claim we have on American political and political economic institutions. Some even believe that we are part of a secret political group working against the interests of the United States and characterize my family and me as "internationalists" who have colluded with other groups around the world to build a more integrated global political and political economic structure- a single world, if you like. If the accusation is this, then I plead guilty, and I am proud of it, ”David Rockefeller wrote in his memoirs.
David Rockefeller made no secret of his desire to build a unified world. Apparently, with one government - the world government. Failed. And thank God.
The mere fact that David Rockefeller died at the age of 102, after the seventh heart stopped beating in his chest, speaks of the uniqueness of this personality. The first was transplanted to him back in 1976, 41 years ago. The approximate cost of one such operation today is at least $100,000. Who are the people who became donors for David Rockefeller, and whether there were actually so many transplants, is kept secret, like the whole life of this family, whose power countdown begins with John Davison Rockefeller, who was born in 1839 and managed to take control of 90 % of the entire US oil industry.
Today, the Rockefeller dynasty is one of the richest and, most importantly, influential families in the world. It owns dozens of US companies with total annual revenue approaching 10 percent of US GDP -- more than a trillion dollars. At the same time, David Rockefeller himself was on the list the richest people The earth is only in 603rd place. Rockefellers invested in oil fixed capital in everything - banking, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, the media, the electronics industry and, of course, war.
“I must say that the 20th century was quite successful for the Rockefellers. It's no secret that the Rockefellers actively participated in the preparation and unleashing of both the First and Second World Wars, ”says Valentin Katasonov, chairman of the Russian Economic Society named after Sergei Sharapov.
Rockefellers safely supplied fuel to the Third Reich even after the US government officially banned contacts with Nazi Germany. Accident? But during World War II, not a single tanker of the Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil Company was sunk by German submarines.
The Rockefeller family has been accused of orchestrating virtually every revolution and overthrow of governments around the world over the past hundred years.
“You need to remember one simple thing. A huge number of people in the twentieth century from the American establishment - political, intelligence, scientific and technical - are either from universities that are controlled by the Rockefellers or sponsored by them, or people who are closely associated with these structures, ”recalls the director of the Institute for Systemic and Strategic Analysis Andrey Fursov.
However, no direct evidence of the influence of the Rockefellers on the ruling elites of the Anglo-Saxon world can not be found. Is it possible that Harvard University, like a number of others educational institutions United States, Rockefeller openly donated many millions of dollars annually. For this he was called the greatest philanthropist in the world. At Harvard alone different time eight American presidents, including Barack Obama, and 49 Nobel laureates have been trained.
“His fingerprints can be seen in many election campaigns where Rockefeller money supported the winner. He also helped European parties. For example, the British Labor Party. He also had an influence on de Gaulle's French party. And the Social Democratic Party of Germany. Rockefeller money has always been in politics,” says journalist and former US Navy intelligence officer Wayne Madson.
At the same time, it is worth noting that David Rockefeller communicated with equal success with Soviet leaders who did not graduate from Harvard. For example, with Nikita Khrushchev. By the way, just two months after the meeting, he was removed from the post of General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
Three times Rockefeller met with Mikhail Gorbachev - before, during and after perestroika. He already came to Russia to Yuri Luzhkov, and also talked with Anatoly Chubais. Not once did the press reveal what was discussed at such meetings. But to believe that these were idle conversations is still difficult.
“David Rockefeller took an active part in the management of such behind-the-scenes organizations as the Bilderberg Club, he already participated in the first meeting of the Bilderberg Club in 1954,” says Valentin Katasonov.
The Bilderberg Club is a closed annual conference, admission to which is possible only by personal invitation. They were sent, among other things, by Rockefeller himself. Conspiracy theorists claim that, in fact, this is an annual meeting of the world government. There are about 130 politicians, businessmen and bankers in total. The last such closed meeting took place last June in Dresden. But there were never any reports of conferences. Is that a mention in the book of Jordon Maxwell called "The Matrix of Power". In it, he cites words allegedly spoken by Rockefeller in 1991.
“We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other major publications whose directors have attended our meetings and honored their promise of confidentiality for nearly forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the whole world if it had been made public in those years. But now the world has become more complex, and it is ready to go to the world government, ”the book says.
Rockefeller himself never confirmed or denied this. But what exactly in 1991 was collapsed Soviet Union, and the United States began to systematically try to rebuild a unipolar world - a fact. As well as the fact that the Rockefeller family controls the mainstream Anglo-Saxon media.
“He was not directly behind some influential publication, TV channel or radio station. To a certain extent, he even avoided the press, like any rich man. But he undoubtedly contributed to the development of journalism as such. And what we have today, what kind of media, is largely due to his merit, ”says The Times columnist Michael Billon.
Another long-standing theme that is inextricably linked to the Rockefeller family is their multi-million dollar investment in scientific research. In the university founded by David Rockefeller's grandfather, so many discoveries were made that they would be enough for a dozen research centers. The discovery of blood groups, antibodies, the discovery of the appetite-suppressing hormone leptin are only a small part of the research at Rockefeller University.
“This is a kind of organization that was and continues to be engaged in medical and genetic research, and these studies, apparently, are very similar to what they did in the Third Reich, namely, eugenics. Eugenics and selection, as they say, worthy to live on this planet, and the removal from life of those who do not meet these criteria. Therefore, some directly call David Rockefeller the ideologist of global genocide,” says Valentin Katasonov.
The news that the Zika virus, which Barack Obama, as President of the United States, called the main threat along with Russia, was patented by the Rockefeller Center back in 1947, made a lot of noise. Moreover, this virus is spread by mosquitoes. And Rockefeller himself was a passionate entomologist. In his personal collection - more than 40 thousand species of insects. And this only reinforced the rumors about attempts to regulate the population on the planet.
“We must always remember that the Rockefellers were very active in developing and sponsoring a program to reduce the population of the planet, freeing themselves from excess eaters. But there is one trick here. It's not just about extra eaters and that there are few resources. It's just that seven or eight billion people are very difficult to control. And the Rockefellers have always proceeded from the fact that the world should be controlled from one center, ”says Andrei Fursov.
It is in the Rockefeller scientific center evidence of the viral nature of a number of cancer. Conspiracy theorists were alerted that after that the leaders Latin America, where there was a systemic crisis in relations with the United States, was literally covered by a cancer epidemic. Colombia and Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. Evo Morales from Bolivia. The United States' main opponent in the region, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, also died of cancer.
The phrase “Give me the right to issue and control the country’s money, and I won’t care who makes the laws!” is attributed to the main rival of the Rockefeller family, the founder of the Rothschild clan, but this does not change the essence. The Rockefellers actually have a lot under control. Everyone knows that the US Federal Reserve has never been a state bank. It's private joint-stock company, in fact, giving loans to the state and printing dollars. Who pays, he orders the music. The only American president who tried to resist such control was John F. Kennedy. In 1961, he gave his famous speech, the essence of which is still clear today.
“Across the world, we are opposed by a monolithic, ruthless conspiracy that is expanding its sphere of influence by covert means. And this system has built a strong, highly efficient machine that carries out military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations,” the American president said at the time.
Shortly thereafter, Kennedy was assassinated. This can also be considered a conspiracy theory, but no other US president even tried to encroach on the invisible, but unconditional power of the Rockefellers and the bankers close to them.
Family History
bilderberg club
A committed globalist due to the influence of his father, David in early age expanded his ties with the beginning of participation in the meetings of the elite Bilderberg club. His participation in the meetings of the Club began in 1954 with the very first Dutch meeting. For decades, he has been a regular participant in the meetings of the Club and a member of the so-called. "committee of governors", which determines the list of invitees to the next annual meetings.
This list includes the most significant national leaders, who then go to the polls in the respective country. This was the case, for example, with Bill Clinton, who first took part in the meetings of the Club back in 1991, when he was governor of Arkansas (from this and similar episodes, opinions are born that people supported by the Bilderberg Club become national leaders, or even that the Bilderberg Club decides who should be the leader of a country).
views
Rockefeller is known as one of the first and most influential ideologues of globalization and neoconservatism. He is credited with a phrase allegedly said by him at a meeting of the Bilderberg Club in Baden-Baden, Germany, in 1991:
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time magazine, and other eminent publications whose leaders have been attending our meetings for nearly forty years and respecting their confidentiality. We would not be able to develop our plan for the world order if all these years the spotlights were turned on us. But in our time, the world is more sophisticated and ready to step towards world government. The supranational sovereignty of the intellectual elite and world bankers is undoubtedly preferable to the national self-determination practiced in past centuries."
In 2002, on p. 405 of the Memoirs he published (publication on English language) Rockefeller writes:
« For more than a hundred years now, ideological extremists at all ends of the political spectrum have enthusiastically referred to certain well-known events, such as my bad experience with Castro, to blame the Rockefeller family for the all-encompassing menacing influence they claim we have on American political and economic institutions. Some even believe that we are part of a secret political group working against the interests of the United States and characterize my family and me as "internationalists" who have colluded with other groups around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world. , if you like. If this is the charge, then I plead guilty and I'm proud of it.».
Supporter of birth control and birth control on a worldwide scale. David Rockefeller fears rising energy and water consumption and pollution atmospheric air due to the growth of the world's population. At a UN conference in 2008, he called on the UN to find " Satisfactory Ways to Stabilize the Earth's Population».
Personal life
For many decades he has been devoted to his wife Margaret, whom he affectionately calls Peggy. It is curious that in the history of the owners of millions of fortunes there are cases of long-term and pure love. Although, of course, history may be silent. In marriage, the Rockefellers raised six heirs. David Jr. born 1941, Abby 1943, Neva Goodwin 1944, Peggy Gyulaney 1947, Richard 1949, and Eileen 1952.
David Sr. this moment there are 10 grandchildren: children of David's son: Ariana and Camilla, children of Neva's daughter: David, Miranda, children of Peggy's daughter: Michael, children of Richard's son: Clay and Rebecca, children of Abby's daughter: Christopher, children of Eileen's daughter: Danny and Adam.
In general, the clan is expanding and growing. By the way, the oil oligarchs may not have been persecuted by the press in vain, since the scandalous famous history about the voluntary dismissal of Miranda Duncan (Rockefeller's granddaughter) from the post of investigator in the corruption case under the UN Oil for Food program caused a wide resonance in the press.
The Rockefeller family lives at the Hudson Pines residence in Westchester County. David also has a huge house in Manhattan at 65 East Street. There is a house in the state NY in Colombia. The Simmental meat farm is also located there.
Interesting
He considered painting to be complete debauchery and there is still not a single painting in his house - he instilled this dislike in children. He ate little, treating his appetite as a punishment. " What it is: eat and eat, and still want' he told Henry Ford. By the way, he did not save on food, but he also considered spending on it nonsense. In general, he was a very negatively disposed person to the world, almost a misanthrope. For each generally accepted concept, he had a “flattering” epithet. He hated literally everything that his contemporaries breathed: theater, music, secular society (and its members), love, literature. At the same time, he turned out to be very prolific, and his family was very friendly. It is noteworthy that he was strikingly indifferent to earthly goods, and he was interested in making money as a process. He did not drink, did not smoke, he did not have a single mistress. He generally kept the children in a black body at one time: they wore clothes one after another and rode in turn on the same bicycle. However, this educational moment may have been the right one - but they all learned to achieve their own mind. Here is such a marvelous man, if not for his sweetest character. The first barrel of oil was sold as "an excellent lice remedy". It is true: to this day, lice are poisoned with kerosene and its derivatives.
I was madly in love with chestnuts. And he carried them with him everywhere. I ate for rheumatism, but in fact I almost got used to them. The pockets of his trousers were always stuffed with chestnuts.
He founded the first enterprise with borrowed money from his father. The good dad carefully collected penalty interest for late repayment of the debt. By the way, both dad and John himself were dishonest at hand. For example, dad knocked down the price of his goods by playing the destitute deaf. And interestingly, it worked great. Rockefeller subsequently used all the ways of unfair competition, actively fed the monster of corruption. With his money, many became henchmen of his methods.
When he turned 96, the insurance company gave him a prize check for five million dollars (much more), as his longevity significantly corrected statistics that were unprofitable for insurers. It was probably a payment for a ticket to heaven, about which John himself joked darkly alone with his friend Henry, hoping to meet him in heaven.
