This article details the incredible influence the Rockefeller family
has had over our government. This article coupled with the film

movement should know.
Some time ago, The Herald newspaper, Glasgow, Scotland, published a
letter in which I criticised the war in Iraq and suggested that the
neo-cons in the US were a ruling neo-fascist elite. A trail of
letters followed with one correspondent stating that I was making a
serious error labeling them neo-fascist. He called them "tragically
over-zealous apostles of liberal democracy." Following the lively
Herald debate, I was invited by The Surface to contribute this
article.

My interest in America began on the day after my 16th birthday;
November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was driven along
Deeley Plaza to his death. Within days I watched Lee Harvey Oswald
being led out to his execution before the assembled media, and I was
completely hooked on American politics. Four decades, thousands of
books, and a million conspiracy theories later, we still don't know
the truth about those astonishing events in Dallas. Like the all-too-
many assassinations played out in front of the rolling cameras,
American politics can be difficult to comprehend.
My own comprehension of American politics was helped enormously by a
profound little essay, Escaping the Matrix, written by American,
Richard K. Moore. [1] Moore, parallels the political situation in
America with the Wachowski brothers' film, The Matrix: "The defining
dramatic moment in the film occurs just after Morpheus invites Neo to
choose between a red pill and a blue pill. The red pill promises 'the
truth and nothing more.' Neo takes the red pill and awakes to
reality - something utterly different from anything Neo, or the
audience, could have expected. What Neo had assumed to be reality
turned out to be only a collective illusion, fabricated by the Matrix
and fed to a population that is asleep, cocooned in grotesque
embryonic pods. In the Matrix world, true reality and perceived
reality exist on entirely different planes."
In Moore's Matrix metaphor, doses of 'red pill' allow us to
comprehend the true reality of what is happening as opposed to an
illusion deliberately created by the wealthy, ruling elite. As Morph
tells Neo, "The Matrix is the world that was pulled down over your
eyes to hide you from the truth As long as the Matrix exists,
humanity cannot be free." Television and radio stations, news
channels and most newspapers are owned by the ruling, wealthy elite
who control the matrix. They dispense "blue pills" in the form of
matrix propaganda, deliberately formulated to conceal the truth.
While there are honourable journalistic exceptions, generally we have
to look elsewhere for the 'red pill'. Thankfully, it is becoming more
readily available and less difficult to find. In this article I will
quote from, and refer to, numerous 'red pill' articles and books.
It has personally taken many years of slow awakening from the matrix
narcolepsy for me to find an inverted reality where what I thought
was the truth was a dream, and what I have awakened to is the reality
of a true nightmare. Too many people believe fascism is only about
goose-stepping, jack-booted Nazis. Too many people believe that
American democracy is so strong that fascists could never take
control of America. If you are sympathetic to those views, I invite
you to consider the possibility that you are mistaken - invite you to
sample a small dose of 'red pill'.
My first dose of 'red pill' came in the early 1970s when I returned
from voluntary service in Central Africa. I had worked alongside
American Peace Corps volunteers and would sit with them under the
beautiful African night sky, discussing that devastated continent and
the reasons for the starvation and death that surrounded us there. On
my returned from Malawi, I discovered that a number of those
supposedly dedicated Peace Corp volunteers were US intelligence
agency personnel. What they were doing in Africa was not, in actual
reality, delivering American aid or goodwill, but fermenting huge
trouble with their clandestine activities. I later read the 'red
pill' book, Killing Hope, [2] about US Military and CIA Interventions
since WWII and realised it was describing American activities which
exhibited the very worst elements of fascism.
Perhaps the only one way to understand fascism in America today is to
trace its historical development there over the last
century. "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived. But
if we rise up to meet it head-on, then history need not be re-lived.
When we as a people fail, or worse yet, refuse to stand up to the
injustice of historical past, then that injustice becomes an ever-
present constant in our daily lives." - Cia Bannar, film maker and
human rights activist.
According to the matrix, powerful men of wealth who controlled
America in colonial days, were replaced after the revolution by
genuinely democratic representatives of the people. Every American
school-child is taught that the fifty five "Founding Fathers"
prepared a solid foundation of democracy upon which the Great
Republic was built, and that Abraham Lincoln's stirring Gettysburg
address on "government of the people, by the people, for the people"
meant what it said.
'Red pill' reality is very different, however as Richard K. Moore
writes [3]: "The legislatures, unfortunately, mostly appointed their
delegates [Founding Fathers] from among their local wealthy elite.
The delegates then ensconced themselves in secret session and
proceeded to betray the charter under which they had been assembled.
They discarded the Articles, and began debating and drafting a wholly
new document, one that transferred sovereignty to a relatively strong
central government. The delegates reneged on the States that had sent
them, and took it upon themselves to speak directly for "We the
People". Thus begins the preamble to their Constitution. In effect
they accomplished a coup d'etat. They managed to design a system that
would enable existing elites to continue to run the affairs of the
new nation, as they had before under the Crown, under a Constitution
that for all the world seems to embody sound democratic principles.
The system was consciously designed to facilitate elite rule and that
is how it has functioned ever since."
It was not until 1850 that most white adult males could vote; a time
when the ideal of the "poor boy made good" was coming to be seen as
the American dream. One such dreamer was John D. Rockefeller, born in
the US in 1839, the son of a quack conman who sold expensive "miracle
cures" (Seneca oil) to people with cancer. Rockefeller inherited his
father's business ethics and became a war profiteer during the Civil
War. While hundreds of thousands were dying for their cause, he
amassed wealth by selling liquor at vast profit to Federal troops.
With the proceeds Rockefeller bought into small oil concerns and by
1870, had enough money to set up the Standard Oil Company.
Over the next thirty years, Rockefeller also bought up railroads and
banks and acquired a near monopoly of the US petroleum industry. By
the turn of the century, he was counted among the richest men in the
world. He financed numerous fine churches and institutions, including
the University of Chicago. Matrix perception was of an extremely
generous, Christian benefactor and philanthropist, but actual 'red
pill' reality was very different. Journalist Ida Tarbell wrote that
Rockefeller was involved in many illegal activities and in her book,
The History of The Standard Oil Company, published in 1904, [4]
exposed how big corporations were controlling the press and
government. "Its power [Standard Oil] in state and federal
government, in the press, in the college, in the pulpit, is generally
recognized."
In the early 20th century, President George W. Bush's great
grandfather, Samuel Bush, owned a steel factory producing rail-car
parts. His son, Prescot Bush, attended the prestigious Yale
University where in his final year in 1917, he was inducted into the
secret society known as "The Order of Skull and Bones". To this day a
mere fifteen young men of "good birth" are pre-selected each year to
Skull and Bones from the entire 11, 250 student population of Yale.
Rockefellers were also members of Skull and Bones.
Skull and Bones has its roots in the teachings of German philosopher,
George Hegel. The Nazis loved Hegel's philosophy and Hitler used it,
along with Nietzsche and others, to begin creating his "New World
Order." In the US in the 1920s, Hegelian philosophy was supported by
John D. Rockefeller, who funded the notorious Eugenics Records
Office, with its idea of mass sterilisation of blacks and
other "inferiors" as a means of social control.
Prescot Bush was a member of Skull and Bones with his friend,
Roland "Bunny" Harriman, son of the massively wealthy Harriman
family. This Harriman - Bush connection is discussed in George Bush:
The Unauthorized Biography, [5] "The Harrimans would become the
sponsors of the Bushes, to lift them onto the stage of world history."
Several years after leaving Yale, Prescot Bush was made director of
Harriman's bank; Brown Brothers Harriman. It was the largest private
investment bank in the world (the bank's website today boasts
reserves of almost $3 billion). In the early 20th century, John D.
Rockefeller and his friends, including Harriman, had taken control of
American politics and politicians. Using their wealth from banking,
oil, railroads and weapons manufacture, Rockefeller and Harriman had
politicians in their pocket. They placed individuals such as Samuel
Bush in senior government positions, enabling the siphoning off of
huge amounts of federal funds.
With World War 1 raging in Europe, large profits were there for the
taking. Sam Bush, the rail-car parts manufacturer, with no relevant
experience whatsoever in weapons procurement, was made chief of
ordnance for the War Industries Board. Bush was handed government
control of small arms and ammunition purchasing and liaised with big
armaments firms to supply the war effort. Rockefeller owned the
Remington Arms Company and received huge government orders from Bush.
Remington supplied over half of the ammunition and 69% of the rifles
used by the US in World War 1. Tarpley and Chaitkan [5]write: "The US
and British arms companies owned by these international financiers,
poured out weapons abroad in deals not subject to the scrutiny of any
electorate back home. The same gentlemen later supplied weapons and
money to Hitler's Nazis."
In 1921, the elite founded the American branch of the Council on
Foreign Relations - CFR - an organisation which, to this day,
controls the world economy and most of its politics. According to its
website, CFR is "A non-partisan center dedicated to a better
understanding of the world and the foreign policy choices facing the
US and other governments." In 'red pill' reality it is a front for
the elite to use their wealth to subvert nation states. In the 1930s
they invested in German corporations which began building Hitler's
war machine. Walter Lipmann, a young man on President Woodrow
Wilson's team was charged with running the CFR. Lipmann, a man of
extreme views, spoke of "the rascal multitude" of the people
as "ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a herd which has to be
controlled by an intellectual specialist class."
President Wilson also appointed John Edgar Hoover as Assistant
Attorney General. Hoover was another man with extreme views and
instigated the war on the "red scare" where espionage and sedition
acts were used to launch a campaign against radicals and any left
wing organizations. Thousands of innocent citizens were arrested and
many forcibly shipped to Russia. J. Edgar Hoover was later appointed
Director of the national police organization the FBI, and served as
such from 1924 until his death in 1972. The US newspaper industry was
controlled by the elite and Hoover ensured that the newly emerging
radio stations would voice no opinion critical of the government -
Hoover controlled the issue of broadcasting licences.
In 1926, Prescot Bush was made vice president of Harriman's Union
Banking Corporation of New York. It was becoming a Bush family
affair - President of the bank was Bert Walker (George W. Bush's
maternal great-grandfather). Union Banking had been set up by
Harriman in partnership with the immensely wealthy Thyssen family of
Germany. Funds were transferred back and forth to Germany through a
Thyssen subsidiary bank in Holland. Fritz Thyssen was the prime
sponsor of Adolf Hitler's Nazi movement.
"Hitler who promised a "New World Order" had the backing of banks,
industrialists, and transnational corporations, including those
controlled or directed by America's leading families, and the father
of George H. W. Bush." R. Joseph, America Betrayed [6].
Tapley and Chaitkan write [5], "In May 1933, just after the Hitler
regime was consolidated, an agreement was reached in Berlin for the
coordination of all Nazi commerce with the USA. The Harriman
International Co was to head a syndicate of 150 firms and
individuals, to conduct all exports from Hitler Germany to the United
States. This pact had been negotiated in Berlin between Hitler's
economics minister, Hjalmar Schacht, and John Foster Dulles,
international attorney for dozens of Nazi enterprises."
John Foster Dulles and his brother, Alen Dulles, were the lawyers
looking after Bush family fortunes and investments in Nazi Germany.
John Dulles would later become the US Secretary of State and the
great power in the Republican Party of the 1950s. Allen Dulles would
become head of the CIA.
Rockefeller's Standard Oil Co. built large oil refineries in Germany
for the Nazis and continued to supply them during the Second World
War. In October 1942 the Bush banking operations in New York were
investigated by the US government under the Trading with the Enemy
Act. The capital trading stock of the Union banking Corporation,
owned by Prescot Bush, Bunny Harriman and three German Nazi
executives, was seized.
A number of prominent and wealthy Americans, including the Bush and
Rockefeller families, helped support and build the fascist regimes of
Franco, Mussolini and Hitler, with nearly 70 percent of the money
that flooded into Germany during the 1930s coming from investors in
the US. Henry Ford was building cars and trucks in his German
factories for Hitler's war effort, while simultaneously making huge
fortunes at home in America. Hitler awarded Ford the German Grand
Cross for his efforts. IBM was similarly involved.
In the inter-war years the Kennedy clan, another of America's rich
elite families, was making huge fortunes on the stock market and
through bootlegging. Joseph Kennedy, multi-millionaire father of
president to be, John F. Kennedy, was a friend of President Roosevelt
and made large contributions to his election funds. Roosevelt
appointed Kennedy Ambassador to Britain in early 1938 and while
there, he befriended Viscountess Nancy Astor, the Nazi supporter. As
fiercely anti-communist as they were anti-Semitic, Astor and Kennedy,
like so many of their contemporaries, looked upon Hitler as a
possible solution to both these "world problems."
A small cabal of immensely wealthy families, friends and golf
acquaintances who had either financed and armed Hitler or otherwise
supported his rise to power, would go on to dictate almost every
facet of American politics and global economics in the second half of
the 20th century.
In 1951, Prescot Bush reclaimed Union Bank from the US Alien Property
Custodian and went off to the Senate as the Republican for
Connecticut. (He was re-elected in 1956 and again in 1963.) In 1953,
Dwight Eisenhower, yet another old friend and favourite golf partner
of Prescot Bush, became President and filled his government with
Rockefeller men. His first Secretary of State was John Foster Dulles,
the Bush family lawyer from the Nazi days. Brother, Allen Dulles, who
had legally represented the Nazi Thyssen bank in Holland, was
appointed US Intelligence chief in post war Germany. Back in 1937,
Dulles had been hired by Prescot Bush to "cloak" his Union Bank
accounts. Effectively, any information in post-war Germany regarding
Bush and American complicity with the Nazis was now silenced.
Eisenhower's vice president, Richard Nixon, was groomed for
Presidency from early days by the elite. In 1950 Nixon chaired the
House Un-American activities committee investigating "The Communist
threat" in America and with great relish re-commenced the "red scare"
witch hunt of earlier years. This witch hunt, where thousands of
decent, honest citizens were hounded unmercifully, was
enthusiastically continued by Senator Joe McCarthy.
In the election following Eisenhower's two terms, Joe Kennedy's son,
John F. Kennedy, defeated Richard Nixon. Kennedy immediately drafted
Rockefeller men in to his administration. Dean Rusk, head of the
Rockefeller Foundation, was installed as Secretary of State. His vice
president, Lyndon Johnson, was a close friend of J. Edgar Hoover.
Kennedy seriously upset plans the elite had to "neutralize" President
Castro of Cuba. The elite blamed Kennedy for the Bay of Pigs disaster
and told him to "muster his courage" for both a second attempt at
invading Cuba, and an escalation in Vietnam. Kennedy appeared
reluctant on both counts and fired Allen Dulles director of the CIA
and his CIA deputy, Charles Cabell. Cabell's brother, coincidentally,
was mayor of Dallas in 1963 when Kennedy was shot. One commentator
wrote, "Kennedy was beginning to act like a man who thought he was
President of the United States." Lyndon Johnson was sworn in
immediately after Kennedy's assassination and, incredible as it now
seems, drafted the sacked Allen Dulles onto the controversial Warren
Commission to "investigate" Kennedy's assassination.
Johnson served as President until 1969, when Richard Nixon was
installed. (JFK's brother, Bobby Kennedy, who had a good chance of
taking the Presidency in '69, was also assassinated.)
Five years later, in 1974, Richard Nixon's Vice President Spiro Agnew
was forced to resign following trumped up charges allegedly organised
by Nelson Rockefeller. Rockefeller, Governor of New York.
(Rockefeller had been "elected" Governor in 1958 and re-elected
in '62, '66 and '70. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican
Presidential nomination in 1960, '64 and '68.) Nelson Rockefeller's
ego was straining the elite's most precious asset of anonymity to its
limit. He believed the Presidency should be his and, despite being
constantly advised otherwise, made every attempt to get it. Nixon,
under pressure to nominate him as his Vice President, refused and
chose Gerry Ford instead.
Prescot Bush's son, George W. H. Bush, a Yale Skull and Bones member
like his father, was an insider and member of the Nixon
administration. Bush, who had his own off-shore oil company in the
Gulf of Mexico, was made director of the CIA.
Nixon resigned the Presidency after the Watergate affair blew up.
(Numerous commentators now suggest that he had no involvement with
the break in at Democratic Party offices and believe that Watergate
was nothing more than a contrivance designed by the elite
(Rockefeller) to be found and to point the blame at Nixon and bring
him down.) Gerald Ford was installed as President of the United
States without ever having faced the electorate. He chose Nelson
Rockefeller as his Vice President. Two unelected individuals were now
running the country with Rockefeller now a mere heartbeat away from
the position he so coveted. During his time as President, Ford
survived two assassination attempts.
Throughout the Nixon and Ford presidencies, Henry Kissinger, a
Rockefeller man and influential council member of Rockefeller's
Council on Foreign Relations, was in charge of US foreign policy.
Kissinger had been on the private payroll of Rockefeller as his
personal "foreign policy adviser" for many years.
Jimmy Carter (Democrat) followed Gerald Ford from 1977-81, then
Ronald Reagan (Republican) from 1981-89. Prescot Bush's son, George
W. H. Bush, a Yale Skull and Bones man, followed Reagan from 1989
until '93.
Bill Clinton, Democrat, followed Bush from 1993 to 2001 and he too
filled his cabinet with the elite's place-men. Clinton was taught in
the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, by his
favourite historian, Professor Carroll Quigley. In 1966, Quigley had
written a book [7] on the elite's control of world affairs which had
caused them a considerable degree of anxiety. While Quigley's book
was entirely sympathetic to their aims of world domination, the elite
were extremely upset that it allowed ordinary people a forbidden
glimpse of the workings of the matrix:
"The powers of financial capitalism have another far-reaching aim,
nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in
private hands able to dominate the political system of each country
and the economy of the world as a whole. The system is controlled in
a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in
concert and by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private
meetings and confer
