Part 6
"The Tri Lateral Commission doesn't secretly run the world, the Council of Foreign Relations does that."
Winston Lord is currently the Assistant Secretary for East Asian/Pacific Affairs (State Dept.) and special envoy to Red China.
Contrary to candidate Clinton's "stand" on human rights, Red China has recently received an unconditional MFN trade status with the U.S.; never mind that over 10,000 Chinese dissidents have been murdered since Tianemen Square.
The CFR domination of just the last three Administrations reveals:
1. 347 under Reagan;
2. 382 under Bush, and
3. 387 under Clinton (over 1 in 8 of their total membership)
The following CFR members hold top positions in our current Administration:
1. President Bill Clinton
2. Vice President Al Gore
3. Secretary of State Warren Christopher
4. Deputy Secretary of State Clifton R. Wharton
5. CIA Director R. James Woolsey
6. National Security Advisor W. Anthony Lake
7. Deputy National Security Advisor Samuel R. Berger
8. Secretary of Defense Les Aspen
9. Chrmn., Intel. Adv. Bd. William J. Crowe
10. U.N. Ambassador Madeleine Albright
11. Sec. H.& H.S. Donna E. Shalala
12. OMB Alice M. Rivlin
13. Secretary H.U.D. Henry G. Cisneros
14. Chrmn., Council Ec. Advisors Laura D. Tyson
15. Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd M. Bentsen (former CFR)
16. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt
17. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg
There are 370 others as well.
Have you ever wondered why, since WWII, U.S. foreign policy has allowed Communist expansion? Consider the roles of the following CFR members since WWII:
1. George Marshall and Dean Acheson engineered the betrayal of Chiang Kai-shek, allowing communist takeover of China;
2. Dean Acheson and Dean Rusk arranged the no-win undeclared war in Korea and the removal of General McArthur;
3. John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles, under CFR President Eisenhower betrayed Hungarian freedom fighters and knowingly brought Fidel Castro to power in Cuba;
4. McGeorge Bundy, Adlai Stevenson, and John J. McCloy saw to it that the Bay of Pigs invasion to oust Castro failed;
5. Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, and Henry Cabot Lodge pushed the U.S. into Vietnam - and then drew up the rules making victory impossible;
6. Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger continued these policies, which led to communist takeover of South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos;
7. Henry Kissinger, Ellsworth Bunker, and Sol Linowitz arranged for the Panama Canal giveaway - and gave $400 million dollars to that Marxist dictatorship to take it;
8. Under leadership of Zbigniew Bzrezinski, Cyrus Vance, and Warren Christopher, the Carter Administration undermined U.S. allies in Iran and Nicaragua;
9. Under Reagan, George Schultz, William J. Casey, and Malcom Baldridge arranged U.S. foreign aid to communist Romania, communist Poland, and the U.S.S.R.; they also impeded anti-Communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Why? It is easier to control oppressive Marxist regimes than nations of free men - in a one-world socialist government.
Yes, Col. House's agenda of controlling both political parties in the U.S. has been achieved, through, as Madison warned, "silent and gradual encroachment." An excellent history of the CFR is found in "The Shadows of Power" (James Perloff, 1988, Western Island Publishers, P.O. Box 8040, Appleton, Wis. 54913, 1-414-749-3783).
Just as Col. House led an American contingent to Paris in 1919, there are also powerful like-minded organizations in Europe, through financial control, promoting a one-world government.
The most prominent of these is the Bilderbergers (est. in 1954), and is largely responsible for the unification of Europe through the Treaty of Rome (1957).
Regardless of where these groups are from, their goal is a world government, and the U.N.. which they established, is the platform from which it will be launched.
The Rockefellers play a key role in America's financial and political life. Currently, David Rockefeller is the honorary chairman of both the CFR and the Tri Lateral Commission, as well as (through his Chase Manhattan Bank) a top stockholder in the Federal Reserve.
The Rockefeller influence goes back to 1890, when John D. Rockefeller was refining nearly 90% of all crude oil in the country, and frequently worked in concert with Wall Street banker J.P. Morgan. By the turn of the century, John D. purchased the Chase Bank and brother William bought the National City Bank of New York, and in 1913, became part of the Federal Reserve System.
The Rockefeller Foundation was also in full operation by that time, effectively nullifying the "tax on the wealthy" as the proponents of 16th Amendment had sought.
According to the Sept. 16, 1916 New York Times, the Rockefeller oil holdings alone were worth $500 million. By 1930, the 200 largest corporations, under Rockefeller and Morgan influence, held over 49% of the assets of all 40,000 corporations in the country.
AT&T (controlled by Morgan) had greater assets than the total wealth in 21 states.
The influence of the Rockefeller and Morgan groups was so great, they could affect the economic life of the country to a large degree and almost control its political life on the Federal level.
The Rockefellers increased their leverage over the economy throughout the Depression years:
1) many of their competitors were hard-hit by the Stock Market Crash;
2) and, being a part of the Fed, the Rockefellers benefited from massive government borrowing;
3) which, in turn, furthered their control of industry, soon to be mobilized for war production.
America's entry into WWII enhanced all of the above, and their wealth continued to be funneled into the tax-exempt foundations.
Following the War, the U.S. was in such bad economic condition, that in 1950, it declared bankruptcy a second time and the Secretary of Treasury was appointed as "Receiver" in the Bankruptcy (Reorganization Plan No. 26, Title 5 U.S.C.A 903, Public Law 94-564, Legislative History, page 5967).
In 1953, Congressman Carroll Reese of Tennessee initiated a Congressional Committee to investigate the tremendous influence of the huge tax-exempt foundations and their control over the economy.
Yet, even Congress had little influence in diminishing the tremendous influence and control the international bankers exercised in the economy. The Rockefeller's wealth continued to expand - their foundations allows their wealth to compound.
Each year the Rockefellers can dump up to half of their income into their foundations and deduct these donations from their income tax. Nelson Rockefeller admitted at his confirmation hearings (for V.P.):
"The foundation pays no capital gains tax and no income tax, so those funds can continue to multiply."
And indeed they have. The following information on the Rockefeller's more current wealth is derived from Congressman Patman's Report in the Congressional Record. What I am about the give you is direct ownership of stock; pay particular attention to the oil companies.
In direct stock, they own: Exxon - 156.7 million; Rockefeller Center - 98 million; Standard of California - 85 million; IBM - 72.6 million; Chase Manhattan Bank - 18 million. Others that they have 10 million or more in are: Mobil Oil, Eastman Kodak, General Electric, Texas Instruments, Minnesota Mining & Mfg., and they own significant portions of about 50 other major American companies.
A look at their security holdings reveals: They control Chase-Manhattan Bank, City National Bank of New York, and Chemical Bank, among others; these are in the top of the list.
The Chase Manhattan Bank deals in many foreign countries as well as corporations: well over 100 countries with about 50,000 affiliated banks.
A look at the interlocking boards of directors in the insurance industry, at the time this data was compiled, the Rockefellers controlled 3 of the 4 largest insurance companies in the world, that being Metropolitan Life, Equitable Life, and New York Life.
The assets of these three at that time was $113 billion. They control others as well.
Just to summarize the banks and insurance companies, this amounts to 25% of all the assets of the 50 largest banks, and 30% of all the assets of the 50 largest life insurance companies. This gives them leverage over the economy that goes far beyond direct ownership.
Congressman Patman also found that if you control 5% or more of the stock in a corporation, whose stock is widely held, you have in effect, minority control. If we take those corporations that the Rockefeller family has 10% control, or 5%, and at least two members of their board of directors, we have the following: Exxon, Mobil Oil, Standard of California, Standard of Indiana, International Harvester, Inland Steel, Marathon Oil, Quaker Oats, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, Freeport Sulphur, and International Basic Economy Corporation.
Corporations which are probably under Rockefeller influence, and I say probably, because it's extremely difficult to trace stock ownership through trusts and foundations, are these: Texaco, IT&T, Westinghouse, Boeing, International Paper, Sperry Rand, Xerox, National Cash Register, National Steel, American Home Products, Pfizer, Avon, and Merck.
Merck has just agreed to buy Medco Containment, the nation's largest marketer of discount prescription medicines. The acquisition makes Merck, by far, the biggest integrated producer and distributor of pharmaceuticals in the country. (Wall Street Journal, 7-29-93).
Transportation companies under the Rockefeller influence include Penn Central, TWA, Eastern Airlines, United Airlines, National Airlines, Delta, Braniff, and Consolidated Freightways.
Others they control through interlocking boards of directors are: Allied Chemical, Annaconda Copper, DuPont, Monsanto, Olin-Mathison, Borden, National Distillers, Shell, Gulf, Union Oil,.Dow, Celanese, Pittsburgh Plate Glass, Cities Service, Stauffer Chemical, Continental Oil, Union Carbide, American Cyanamid, American Motors, Bendix, and Chrysler. Isn't that odd?
Who's the biggest stock holders in Chrysler and you had to bail them out? Other's are CIT Financial, SS Kresge and RH Macy.
To summarize what I've just given you, that's 37 of the top 100 industrials, 9 of the top 20 transportation firms, the nation's No. 1 utility, three of the top four insurance companies, plus scores of smaller companies engaged in manufacturing, distribution, retail sales, loans or investments. These are just the known figures.
So can you start to see the economic power the Rockefeller family Now, in addition to this, recognize the power they have through the membership in the Tri Lateral Commission and the CFR through other heads of multi national corporations.
There were published several reports under the Senate Investigating Subcommittee on Reports, Accounting, and Management." They're under the "Committee on Governmental Affairs, United States Senate, January 1978."
The first report is entitled " Interlocking Boards of Directors Among Major U.S. Corporations".
This Senate study looked at the top 130 corporations and placed every name of every board of directors into a computer and found this: 70% of the top 130 corporations are interlocked directly or indirectly with the lower companies. They even found many competing companies and corporations have the same board of directors and several members of the same board of directors, which is illegal according to Section 8 of the Clayton Act.
When this point is reached, you don't have competition anymore, you have price-fixing. Some of these people were sitting on 16 difference boards of directors! In the April 1993 IBM proxy statement, this can be demonstrated. Also, 8 of these 18 directors are CFR. (IBM Notice of 1993 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement; IBM, Armonk, N.Y. 10504)
The second report the same committee did was called "Voting Rights-Major U.S. Corporations". They looked at 122 corporations and found this: One corporation, Morgan Guaranty and Trust, was in the top five vote-holders of 57 of those corporations; another, City National Bank of New York, was in the top five voteholders of 36 of those.
That's 93 of the top 122 corporations. Now, who was the top vote-holder in the parent company of Morgan Guaranty and Trust? Number one was City National Bank of New York, and number two was the Chase Manhattan Bank, which means that the Rockefellers controlled Morgan Guaranty and Trust and also the City National Bank of New York. The Rockefellers are in the top five voteholders in 93 of those 122 corporations. This is what the Subcommittee found in 1978. Why didn't we hear about it? At that time, half of the members of the Senate Subcommittee over this study were CFR/Tri Lat.
There shouldn't be much doubt who controls the oil here. But what about the Middle East oil? Now, supposedly, OPEC has nationalized, in most cases, the oil fields over there. Aramco, an oil consortium of Exxon, Mobil, Texaco, and SOCAL got 42% on every petrodollar and OPEC 58% during the late 70's "energy crisis ". Do you think it bothered them that the price of gas doubled while the media was telling us there was an oil shortage?
The Tri Lat "engineered" the crisis. Its planning publication is called the "Triangle Papers". On page 73 of Publication No. 17, entitled "Energy: Managing the Transition (1978), we find this:
"We therefore urge each Tri Lateral government to review its tax structure and develop specific energy taxes. An obvious example here is a higher federal excise tax on gasoline in the United States."
In other words, they created the crisis, and we paid for it at the pumps through higher prices and higher taxes. Who got blamed? OPEC.
The same people who control the oil here also exercise control in the Middle East. According to the 1974 report of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Multinational Corporations, the Aramco consortium attempted to block America's emergency airlift to Israel, during the Yom Kippur War of 1973.
These companies cooperated closely with Saudi Arabia to deny oil and fuel to the U.S. Navy. In the 1930's, it was Standard Oil (Rockefeller) money that established the oil industry over there - Makes one wonder about Desert Storm.
Remember, it is Kissinger's belief that a world government can be brought about by controlling an international monetary system, oil/energy, and food. Consider how far the control of food has gotten:
In the seventies, Senator Gannon ran a study in five counties of Kansas. He found that 85,000 acres over the 8,OOO acres legal limit were illegally owned by large multinational corporations.
The American Agriculture paper also reported that six coal companies, who were in turn controlled by the oil companies, owned somewhere in the neighborhood of 80% of the farm land in Illinois. These are just a few examples.
Remember, in 1973, the Tri Lateral Commission was formed, and in 1973 the large multinational corporations started diversifying. Into what? Food.
Through interlocking directors, at the time of this study, Gulf was interlocked with General Foods and Ralston Purina; Mobil Oil with General Foods and H.J. Heinz; Standard of California with American Potato, Basic Vegetable Products, and Broadway Hale Stores; Atlantic Richfield Co. with Lincoln County Livestock, and Diamond A Cattle; Philips Petroleum with Campbell Soup; Citgo with Kraft and Campbell Soup; Getty Oil with A&P and Carnation; Standard Oil Of Ohio with National Biscuit; Hesslup with Borden; Safeway is controlled by the Chase Manhattan Bank; Tenneco controlled. at the time Of this report, approximately one and a half million acres of land, gas, oil, and chemicals; IT&T is interlocked with Wonderbread; |
