Cheney’s Halliburton Profits Rise As Oil Climbs to Record Highs

April 22, 2008 · No Comments

Bloomberg | Apr 21, 2008

By Jim Kennett

April 21 (Bloomberg) — Halliburton Co., the world’s second-largest oilfield contractor, said profit rose 5.8 percent after crude topped $100 a barrel, prompting producers to increase spending on Middle East and Latin American projects.

First-quarter net income climbed to $584 million, or 64 cents a share, from $552 million, or 54 cents, a year earlier, the Houston-based company said today in a statement.

The number of drilling rigs active outside North America rose 6.5 percent as New York oil futures traded 68 percent higher than a year earlier. Revenue jumped 18 percent to $4.03 billion as sales gains outside North America made up for pricing pressures in the U.S., Halliburton said.

“The story with Halliburton is international, and the international story is supported by sharply higher oil prices,” said Gene Pisasale, who helps oversee $25 billion in assets, including about 682,000 Halliburton shares, at PNC Capital Advisors in Baltimore. “That bodes well for international exploration, much of which is oil-oriented.”

Competition from rival oilfield contractors is affecting the prices Halliburton can charge on long-term projects in such markets as the Middle East and West Africa, Chief Executive Officer David Lesar told investors on a conference call. Losing a bid can mean the company is out of business in that region for a number of years, he said.

Margin Concerns

Those comments and concern over rising diesel costs, which are narrowing profit margins on some well services, held back Halliburton’s shares today, said Mark Urness, an analyst at Calyon Securities USA Inc. in New York.

Halliburton rose 3 cents to $47.46 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. All but five companies in the 15- member Philadelphia Oil Service Sector Index had bigger gains. Schlumberger Ltd., the biggest oilfield contractor, climbed 5 percent.

Halliburton’s per-share profit matched the average of 10 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Earnings from the company’s largest division, which helps clients maximize production from established fields, rose 11 percent.

Demand strength in the Middle East and Latin America made up for a 2 percent decline in North American business and a “relatively flat” environment in Europe, Africa and the former Soviet Union, Halliburton said.

`Next Leg Up’

Lesar, 54, said more demand growth is coming. “The fundamentals of the world oil and gas market are projecting that the next leg up in the extended cycle is near,” he said in the statement.

Schlumberger, based in Houston and Paris, on April 18 reported a 13 percent gain in first-quarter net income. Baker Hughes Inc., the No. 3 oilfield-services company, is scheduled to report its results tomorrow.

Halliburton’s profit from drilling and evaluation services climbed 6.1 percent. The segment includes drill-bits, drilling fluids and directional drilling, which allows a customer to change the direction of a well to target a reservoir.

Worldwide, the number of active rigs rose 2.4 percent from a year earlier, with most of the gains occurring in South America and the Eastern Hemisphere, according to a count by Baker Hughes. North American drilling activity climbed 1.4 percent, driven by a 2.1 percent increase in the U.S.

International Expansion

Halliburton is adding research and training centers from Russia to Singapore as it diversifies away from North America, which accounted for 47 percent of revenue last year. U.S. and Canadian business is dominated by regional natural-gas markets, where weather can cause prices to surge or plummet.

Lesar splits his time between the U.S. and Halliburton’s regional corporate headquarters in Dubai. The Eastern Hemisphere accounted for 41 percent of Halliburton’s first-quarter revenue. Lesar has said he’d like the region ultimately to account for half of sales.

Halliburton derived 54 percent of its profit from North America in the first quarter, down from 58 percent a year earlier. Latin American operations had a 45 percent increase in earnings. Brazil’s recent deepwater discoveries, fields called Tupi and Carioca, will fuel increased spending by oil companies, PNC’s Pisasale said.

“With the recent developments in Brazil, you’re going to see a lot more activity down there,” he said. “The Tupi and the Carioca discoveries, which are particularly huge, multibillion-barrel fields, bode well for service companies like Halliburton and Schlumberger.”

State Oil Companies

Overseas work is being driven by government-owned oil companies that increasingly hire Halliburton and other services providers to do work previously done by international oil companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. Service companies work under contracts, while oil companies take a stake in the field being developed.

Halliburton’s work with state oil companies includes a three-year contract to drill wells at Saudi Arabia’s massive Khurais project and a three-year deal with Mexico awarded in January. Today, the company announced a contract for the offshore portion of Saudi Arabia’s Manifa oil project.

Halliburton is the largest oilfield contractor in North America and the largest provider of so-called pressure pumping, which injects water or sand into rock formations to make gas flow more easily.

Increased competition cut into pricing for pressure pumping, or fracturing as it is sometimes called, in the past two quarters, according to Halliburton.

Rupert Murdoch: News Corp is just like the Jesuits

April 5, 2008 · 1 Comment

“I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits…. Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king of the gipsies can assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters? If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell, it is this society of Loyola’s.”

Murdoch defends News Corp

by John Cooke

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation is just like the Jesuits, he told a mostly-full Gaston Hall yesterday, “except we don’t insist on vows of poverty or chastity.”

The Australian-born Chairman and Managing Director of News Corporation, which owns MySpace, Fox and other media organizations, described the dilemma faced by newspapers and older media outlets in adapting to new technology, especially the Internet.

“You can never be sure where this industry will go,” Murdoch said, “because new technology destroys the old ways of business.”

Murdoch, whose company acquired The Wall Street Journal in August 2007, defended the role of newspapers. Although he admitted that print publications are hemorrhaging profits and audiences, Murdoch described the Journal as “the daily of the American dream,” adding that, as local papers are forced to make more cutbacks due to loss of revenue, national papers like the Journal will play an increasingly prominent role.

“The Wall Street Journal is unique; it’s a national paper read by affluent and influential people,” he said, predicting that the Journal’s reader base will likely read the newspaper for content they wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere.

During the question and answer session, Murdoch touched upon more controversial aspects of his media empire, most notably the alleged bias of the Fox News Channel and his own reputation as a far-right conservative activist.

While admitting that maintaining neutrality is difficult, Murdoch dismissed allegations that he influences the editorial stances of many News Corp outlets. “My personal views don’t affect the editorial pages,” he said, citing his publications’ endorsements of Tony Blair and the new left-wing government of Australia.

“We’ve always been a catalyst for change, so we inspire fear,” Murdoch said in reference to his critics.

In response to concerns about News Corp’s consolidated media ownership, Murdoch repeatedly defended his business tactics, indicating that News Corp facilitates a broader range of voices to be heard.

“Everything we’ve done has been to create competition,” Murdoch said. “We think it’s a public service.”

With $40 billon, Putin ‘is now Europe’s richest man’

December 22, 2007 · No Comments

 
Compared to Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator who plundered Congo, and Ferdinand Marcos, the former ruler of the Philippines. Putin has denounced the claims as “trash”

Telegraph | Dec 22, 2007

By Adrian Blomfield in Moscow

President Vladimir Putin of Russia has been likened to an African plutocrat after a controversial political scientist claimed that he had acquired control of £20 billion in energy assets - enough to make him Europe’s richest man.

Stanislav Belkovsky, a colourful figure on the political scene, claimed that Mr Putin had made a multi-billion pound fortune by controlling stakes in three Russian energy companies.

The allegations – if true – would suggest that Mr Putin is one of the wealthiest men ever to hold public office.

Mr Belkovsky alleged that Mr Putin had acquired $40 billion during his eight years in power, through a network of front-men.

He compared the president to Mobutu Sese Seko, the dictator who plundered Congo, and Ferdinand Marcos, the former ruler of the Philippines.

“Russia under Putin is not a version of modern democracy but a typical third world kleptocracy,” said Mr Belkovsky.

But Mr Putin’s spokesman denounced the claims. “It’s nothing but trash,” said Dmitry Peskov.

“Certainly it has nothing to do with seriousness; it has nothing to do with professionalism. It’s just trash.”

According to Mr Belkovsky, Mr Putin controls a 37 per cent stake in Surgutneftegaz, an oil exploration company, as well as 4.5 per cent of Gazprom, the state energy giant, and at least 50 per cent of Gunvor, a Swiss-based oil trading company that has won a series of state contracts.

Mr Belkovsky claimed his information had come from credible sources in the Kremlin - but admitted he had no documentary evidence.

“European and U.S. special services have access to these documents but I don’t,” he said.

Observers were sceptical.

“In a system of state capitalism and total corruption, it would be strange if Putin was not rich,” said Leonid Radzikhovsky, a political analyst.

“But the information about this treasure island seems a little exaggerated. Most Russians do not think about corruption at presidential level or do not want to think about it.”

Mr Radzikhovsky added: “It is difficult to understand Belkovsky. He is known as a source of confusing information and it is hard to treat it seriously.

“He is an adventurer. He may be driven by his own morbid ambitions. He really knows a lot of people in high places but who is he to know the secrets of the person who has all the possible and impossible ways to hide his secrets?”

The endgame of Mr Putin’s presidency, and his plans for the succession, have been thrown off balance by infighting between rival Kremlin clans.

At least three groups, two led by ex-KGB officials, have been in open warfare since October.

On Oct 3, General Alexander Bulbov, deputy head of the federal drug agency, and a member of a hardline clan of “Siloviki” - former KGB and security officials - was arrested by a rival Siloviki faction.

The “liberal” faction was damaged when Sergei Storchak, the deputy finance minister, was arrested last month.

Far from being watertight, Mr Putin’s Kremlin now leaks like a sieve.

The President is theoretically above the clans and tries to balance their clashes.

If he does have a faction, it consists of businessmen who have become very wealthy under his rule.

Mr Belkovsky named at least three of them as front-men for the president’s alleged fortune.

He also cited Igor Sechin, a deputy chief of Kremlin staff, leader of the most hardline “Siloviki” faction and one of the country’s most powerful men.

Mr Putin appeared to have sidelined Mr Sechin’s clan when he announced that Dmitry Medvedev, a relative liberal, would be his successor as president.

Mr Sechin and other ex-KGB figures would never rally around Mr Medvedev.

Mr Putin may calculate that he can keep their loyalty, leaving the new president isolated.

Mr Putin may calculate that he can keep their loyalty, leaving the new president isolated.

What game Mr Belkovsky is playing - and on whose behalf - is unclear.

He has been accused of starting a smear campaign against the oligarch, Mikhail Khodorokovsky, a fierce critic of Mr Putin who was jailed in 2005.

Mr Belkovsky’s allegations about the president’s money first emerged in a book he published last year.

Ranchers Suspect Ted Turner in UN Land Grab

December 2, 2007 · No Comments

“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”

-Ted Turner, creator of the United Nations Foundation, quoted in both an interview with Audubon magazine and in the The McAlvany Intelligence Advisor, June ‘96

“Since I was a little boy, I’ve always been very partial to the U.N. I love the flags.”

-Ted Turner, CNN Interview with Larry King 1997

Ted Turner massive land purchases called suspicious

Transworld News | Nov 29, 2007

Ted Turner has become the largest private landowner in the country with a total of 2 million acres in 11 different states. Turner recently outbid hopeful ranchers in an auction for 26,630 acres of ranch land in Nebraska.

After paying nearly $10 million dollars for the land, ranchers in the area began questioning the CNN founder’s intentions. Ranchers are suspicious of Turner is going to do with all of his land. The Turner camp says he only wants to be a rancher, but farmers and owners of the neighboring land believe he is trying to put them out of business.

Other theories include Turner attempting to gain power by cornering the land over the Ogallala Aquifer, which is the largest underground water system. Others believe he is conspiring with the United Nations to create a wildlife refuge before turning it over to the federal government.

“With him it’s such a concern. You don’t know what his plan is and what he’s going to do,” said Nebraska landowner Cindy Weller. “The entire way of life here is threatened, and it’s not just Turner, but he’s one reason. The whole area is economically depressed.”

Turner becomes largest private landowner in US

December 2, 2007 · 1 Comment

“The United States has got some of the dumbest people in the world. I want you to know that we know that.”

“If I only had a little humility I would be perfect.”

- Ted Turner

Reports of Turner’s buying spree – like the Associated Press account of his Nebraska purchase – have generated numerous conspiracy theories. One is that he is scheming with the United Nations to create a vast wildlife refuge that would put Nebraska ranchers and farmers out of business.

Independent | Dec 1, 2007

By Leonard Doyle in Washington

Ted Turner gave the world CNN, but the legacy he intends to leave America is not the incessant drumbeat of television news, but millions of acres of wide-open spaces teeming with wildlife and protected endangered species.

Formerly known as the Mouth from the South, the patriarch of cable news is no longer in the media business, having left Time Warner in 2003. Today, he is America’s biggest conservationist as well as its largest private landowner.

Like many American outdoorsmen he is both a committed hunter and environmentalist, except that he has managed to turn his passion into a profit-making business.

Over the past few years, Ted Turner has used his $2.3bn (£1.1bn) wealth to create wildlife sanctuaries across many of the two million acres he owns in 12 states as well as in the southern tip of the Americas, Patagonia.

His mostly western lands are filled with bison, native cut-throat trout and cougars in habitat that he manages in an environmentally sensitive way. Hunters and fishermen pay big fees to bag elk, deer and catch and release rare species of trout, which he has brought back from the brink of extinction. His Nebraska ranches are home to America’s largest herd of buffalo, some 50,000 strong, which supply his restaurant chain, Ted’s Montana Grill, with bison burgers.

The Turner land grab has, however, generated suspicion among ranchers who are complaining that this is another land grab by a rich liberal environmentalist, which is putting them out of business.

But Turner says he is more than a philanthropist, and tries to make money from all his ventures. His Vermejo Ranch in northern New Mexico was once a hideaway for Hollywood celebrities. These days it is a hunting preserve for the wealthy who come to bag elk, deer, antelope and Merriman turkeys. But he is also mining for propane natural gas from the immense coal reserves beneath the ranch – in an environmentally sensitive way, he says.

In the Nebraska Sandhills region, the Turner organisation recently outbid 19 local ranchers to pick up another 26,300 acres of prime ranch land for nearly $10m. The ranch had been in the same family for more than 100 years and is adjacent to a 100,000-acre spread he bought in 1995. According to the general manager, Russ Miller, the Nebraska spread was bought because it offered good grass and good water, despite a persistent drought in recent years.

“We’re resilient, the bison are resilient and the Sandhills are resilient,” Mr Miller said. Turner paid $17.78m for a 58,000-acre ranch in the Sandhills in 2005 and bought a 45,000-acre ranch in Sheridan County in 1998.

Mike Phillips, executive director of the Turner Endangered Species Fund, a Turner spin-off, says his boss is just a “doggone serious rancher,” dedicated to preserving the environment.

Along with his land-buying, Turner has given more than $1.5bn to charity, including the United Nations Foundation, and an initiative aimed at ridding the world of nuclear weapons. The Turner organisation is now in discussions with the World Wildlife Fund and the World Conservation Union about conserving bison.

Both groups are hoping to develop a huge park where bison could once again roam the Great Plains freely. Reports of Turner’s buying spree – like the Associated Press account of his Nebraska purchase – have generated numerous conspiracy theories. One is that he is scheming with the United Nations to create a vast wildlife refuge that would put Nebraska ranchers and farmers out of business.

But Turner spokesmen insist that the driving force behind his land purchases is simply the desire to make money. The Vermejo Ranch offers week-long elk hunting excursions at $12,000 a pop. And there are now more than 51 Ted’s Montana Grill restaurants across the country serving the famous bison burgers.

Oil price rise fueling one of the biggest transfers of wealth in history

November 12, 2007 · 1 Comment

Iran, Russia and Venezuela Feel the Benefits

Washington Post | Nov 10, 2007

By Steven Mufson

High oil prices are fueling one of the biggest transfers of wealth in history. Oil consumers are paying $4 billion to $5 billion more for crude oil every day than they did just five years ago, pumping more than $2 trillion into the coffers of oil companies and oil-producing nations this year alone.

The consequences are evident in minds and mortar: anger at Chinese motor-fuel pumps and inflated confidence in the Kremlin; new weapons in Chad and new petrochemical plants in Saudi Arabia; no-driving campaigns in South Korea and bigger sales for Toyota hybrid cars; a fiscal burden in Senegal and a bonanza in Brazil. In Burma, recent demonstrations were triggered by a government decision to raise fuel prices.

In the United States, the rising bill for imported petroleum lowers already anemic consumer savings rates, adds to inflation, worsens the trade deficit, undermines the dollar and makes it more difficult for the Federal Reserve to balance its competing goals of fighting inflation and sustaining growth.

Oil price hits record high on Iran tensions

October 26, 2007 · No Comments

AFP | Oct 26, 2007

World oil prices surged to historic highs Friday, breaching 92 dollars for the first time in New York amid rising tension in crude-rich Iran and tightening US energy supplies.

New York’s main futures contract, light sweet crude for delivery in December, soared to a record intraday high of 92.22 dollars per barrel before settling at an all-time closing high of 91.86 dollars, up 1.40 dollars on the day.

In London, Brent North Sea crude for December delivery struck an all-time pinnacle of 89.30 dollars per barrel Friday. It later settled at 88.69 dollars, up 1.21 dollars.

Crude futures have rocketed by about 10 dollars in a month and by 30 dollars, or 50 percent, in a year.

“Supply tightness and developments surrounding Iran remain the focus of attention,” Sucden analyst Michael Davies said Friday.

The United States on Thursday ratcheted up pressure on Iran over its nuclear drive and alleged backing for terrorism with a raft of new sanctions against the Islamic republic’s military and banks.

Crude futures had leapt by more than three dollars on Thursday in reaction to the news, before extending their gains Friday.

The White House meanwhile rejected any parallels between its Iran rhetoric and the run-up to the Iraq invasion of 2003, adding it had not ruled out the use of force but was “very hopeful” of avoiding war.

Sucden’s Davies meanwhile added that oil prices were winning support from a weak dollar, which makes commodities priced in the US currency cheaper for buyers using stronger units.

The dollar slumped to a record low against the euro on Friday after poor US economic data heightened expectations of a fresh cut to US interest rates next week, dealers said.

Others said oil prices were also being supported by OPEC’s hesitance to increase production and rising tensions elsewhere in the Middle East.

Iraqi ministers held crisis talks Friday seeking to persuade an increasingly impatient Turkey against launching military strikes against rebel Kurd bases in northern Iraq, which is an oil-producing region.

The talks broke up after 90 minutes, however, and it was not immediately known if and when they would resume. But Iraqi defence ministry spokesman Muhammed Askeri said the meeting had produced “positive” results.

Another factor pushing up oil prices are tight energy supplies in the United States, the biggest consumer of energy.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) said Wednesday that stockpiles of crude had plunged by 5.3 million barrels in the week ending October 19. The market had expected a gain of 960,000 barrels.

Inventories of US distillates, which include diesel and heating fuel, sank by 1.8 million barrels last week.

The data from the EIA confounded market expectations for a rise of 275,000 barrels.

Heating fuel stocks are a key market focus because demand usually surges during the northern hemisphere winter.

Compared with a year ago, distillates stocks are 7.6 percent lower and crude reserves are down 5.9 percent.

Eric Wittenauer at AG Edwards said the sharp moves were being accentuated by a rush of speculative money into the market.

“We think Wednesday’s (inventory) numbers were the catalyst that brought the bulls and their sidelined money back into the picture,” he said.

“The rejuvenated buying continues the uptrend seen since late August and builds to the momentum in the market.

“While the predominant rally has been rationalized by geopolitical events on the backdrop of tightening supplies, the latest surge, yesterday in particular, did have noteworthy geopolitical moves supporting the bulls. We wouldn’t argue that supplies have tightened,” Wittenauer said.

He said that while US crude oil stockpiles are at a nine-month low, “we don’t think things are as dire as some would like to believe.”

The Rockefellers, Funding Fathers of the New World Order

July 23, 2007 · 1 Comment

“The super rich in America enjoy power and prerogatives un-imaginable to most of us. Who can conceive of owning a private empire that includes 100 homes, 2,500 servants, untold thousands of luxuries, and untold millions of dollars? America has a royal family of finance that has known such riches for generations. It is, of course, the Rockefellers. Money alone is not enough to quench the thirst and lusts of the super-rich. Instead, many of them use their vast wealth, and the influence such riches give them, to achieve even more power. Power of a magnitude never dreamed of by the tyrants and despots of earlier ages. Power on a world wide scale. Power over people, not just products. For more than one hundred years, since the days when John D. Rockefeller Sr. used every devious strategy he could devise to create a gigantic oil monopoly, enough books have been written about the Rockefellers to fill a library. I have read many of them. And to my knowledge, not one has dared reveal the most vital part of the Rockefeller story: that the Rockefellers and their allies have, for at least fifty years, been carefully following a plan to use their economic power to gain political control of first America, and then the rest of the world. Do I mean conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.”

The Rockefeller Standard Oil monopoly octopus of total domination systematically infiltrating every sphere of human activity

NewsWithViews.com | Jun 22, 2007

by Deanna Spingola

Ordinary people are content with providing the basic necessities and perhaps a few luxuries for their families. But, for some individuals, the ultimate ego trip, always taken on another’s expense account, is the pursuit of pertinacious power. “In bygone days the rare individual with a manic desire for power seized a throne, or led conquering armies. Now that is all passé. Today, more worlds are conquered in board rooms than on battle fields. And what happens on bloody battle fields is often the result of decisions made in board rooms.”[1] The ultimate price is paid by those who are squandered in battle without a moments thought by the elite purveyors of war and bloodshed.

“All of us can name plenty of tyrants and despots from the past. Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin - these men brought misery and death to millions of people in the course of realizing their own perverted ambitions. But because the overwhelming majority of people do not possess such a psychotic thirst for power, they find it all but impossible to recognize its presence in others.”[2]

For lack of appropriate options, we vote for the lesser of two evils, totally unaware of who the real “deciders” are - members of regularly convened secret societies. Elite Bilderberg-CFR qualified candidates, often rewarded for services already rendered, are properly tutored, groomed and installed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Campaigns, well-scripted debates and elections are enacted to perpetuate the illusion of free elections. Abundant, biased media exposure dispensed by government-friendly talking heads enthusiastically tout disputable qualifications while ignoring legitimate, ethical candidates who are actually qualified.

Before the earliest days of the world’s first alleged billionaire, John D. Rockefeller, who viewed competition as a sin, super-rich bankers have promoted and financed world government in an attempt to not merely control a nation but to control the entire world and all of its resources. Wal-Mart, agri-business, the military industrial complex, and monopoly media eliminates competition and quashes an authentic free market. If it is under government policy and regulation, it is not free.

The original Ruthless Rockefeller - John D. managed, by bribery, coercion, violence, dynamite explosions and sabotage to crush or control any and all local oil refining competitors within a year. Imagine, people using life-endangering explosives to further their own agenda! What a concept! The ultimate and most effective way to destroy competition is to use politics, the biggest of all businesses. Rockefeller became the epitome of a corporate capitalist. Not to suggest that members of congress were on the take, but well-placed campaign contributions to character-challenged individuals benefited Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. Things have certainly not changed!

“John D. specialized in operating through others, just as the family does today. He hired agents everywhere; among competitors’, politicians and in the media.” He found plenty of people who could be bought. … Rockefeller’s industrial espionage system was by far the most elaborate, most sophisticated and most successful that had ever been established.” … “For a long time the public didn’t realize how powerful he was because he kept insisting he was battling firms that he secretly owned outright. This same tactic is applicable to countries - communistic arch enemies may simply be another purchased commodity. “His real rivals were forever discovering that their most trusted officers were in his pocket.” “By 1890, Standard was refining 90 % of all crude oil in the United States and its worldwide operations were expanding rapidly.”[3]

By 1974, the Standard Oil Trust and its subsidiaries, known by various names (Mobil, Standard of Indiana, Standard of California, Chevron, Sohio, Phillips 66, Marathon, et al), managed to defeat efforts to minimize their influence and power and were selling petroleum in more than 100 countries through 300 subsidiaries. Rockefeller shares were divided among their banks, foundations, universities and other entities. Benevolence towards one’s own philanthropic organizations, while maintaining power and control, is akin to taking money from one pocket and putting it in another.

In addition to oil, the Rockefellers are international bankers - so international that Standard Oil was of critical assistance to Nazi Germany’s, preparation for World War II. Germany, importers of petroleum, lacked the crude petroleum that was necessary to fight a modern war. The Bush family also subsidized Nazi efforts. Alternatively, they ultimately manufactured synthetic gasoline from their domestic coal supplies using a process developed and financed by the Standard Oil laboratories in partnership with I.G. Farben.[4]

Rockefeller also subsidized the Bolshevik revolution, built an oil refining factory, and lent them millions of dollars - all for access to Russia’s vast natural resources. Minus the revolutionaries, Russian leaders desired the American form of government which would have benefited all Russian citizens. Communism stifled that development. The installed Communist leaders were not in charge - they were merely agents! Economic power builds political power in any nation including our own!

Rockefeller, known for his stinginess, used a Public Relations firm to enhance his image and to sell or disguise the idea of pre-war military preparation and the collaboration between Wall Street and I. G. Farben to the American public. This tactic is used today to sell war. At Rockefeller’s request, the PR firm also created a glowing book, entitled USSR, to enhance the image of the Soviet Union even while Stalin was murdering millions of his own citizens. The potential of Soviet oil was apparently worth it.[5] To dispel his miserly reputation, and on the counsel of the PR group, Rockefeller donated more money to foundations, the first of which he established in 1901 - The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.

“Those who believe that Rockefeller even in the health field is phony, point out the fact that Rockefeller monies have been used to degrade natural prevention of sickness and disease through vitamins and health foods and promote the use of drugs. Drugs are manufactured mainly from coal tar derivatives and, besides being in the oil business, the family has for decades been heavily invested in the giant drug manufacturing concerns.”[6]

Rockefeller banks - First National City Bank and the Chase Manhattan Bank, which was created by the 1955 merger of the Rockefeller-owned Chase Bank with the Kuhn, Loeb controlled Manhattan Bank. From 1991 to 2004, multiple mergers occurred ultimately combining four of the largest and oldest banking institutions in New York City, in July 2004 with the merger of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Bank One Corp. to form today’s J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.[7] They are the largest credit card issuer in the U.S. - which earns them lots of consumer interest from a debt-burdened middle class!

In addition to oil and banks, the Rockefeller family has or had stock in IBM (so helpful in keeping track of the Jews in Hitler’s Germany), Eastman Kodak, General Electric, Texas Instruments, and Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing. In 1976, the Rockefellers owned a significant portion of about 50 major American companies. In addition, their agents, as of 1976, sat on the Boards of Directors of nearly 100 corporations.[8] They also have vast real estate holdings in land and buildings. Additionally, they have interests in major insurance, airlines, media, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, automobile, distillery companies.

The calculating Rockefellers have deliberately endeavored, through their front men and agents, to influence innumerable institutions in order to control American society: government, business, energy, banking, the media, religion and education. By 1910 the mention of a graduated income tax was appealing. “The best way for the Rockefeller-Morgan insiders to eliminate growing competition was to impose a progressive income tax on their competitors while making sure the law contained built-in escape hatches for themselves. Actually, very few of the proponents of the graduated income tax realized they were playing into the hands of those they were seeking to control.”[9] Nelson Aldrich, the insider’s Senatorial agent and maternal grandfather of David Rockefeller, was instrumental in getting a Constitutional amendment (the 16th, never legally ratified) allowing Congress to impose an income tax, one of the planks of the Communist Manifesto.

The super-rich hide their profits and ownership of mega corporations in “tax-free piggybank” foundations where they can buy, sell, hold real estate and securities. They pay no capital gains tax, no income tax and the funds just multiply. In addition, foundations finance like-minded non government organizations (NGOs). Foundation money established the National Education Association (NEA), a licentious lobby. The Rockefeller Foundation backed the Marxist educator, John Dewey. It gave substantial funding to institutes of higher learning, especially schools of education, buying and promoting a Socialist-Fascist mentality. Progressive, non-traditional education and permissiveness, with substantiating textbooks, was enthusiastically advanced with hundreds of millions of dollars from the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation, a mere tentacle of the monstrous Rockefeller enforcement mob. “Those who control education will over a period of several generations control a nation.”[10]

To influence religion and therefore morality, foundation money bankrolled the Union Theological Seminary and the Federal council of Churches. Rather than theology, churches veered towards a communal, socialistic approach to mankind’s challenges. A capitalist, pretending to uphold free enterprise, yet he financed and promoted socialism, a dastardly system that eradicates personal initiative, rejects property ownership, and dispels marketplace competition.

John D. Rockefeller, a Machiavellian monopoly capitalist, used the government to promote his interests and callously suppress or totally exclude healthy competition. The true role of a legitimate government is to protect the rights and property of all citizens. However, socialist-fascist public servants, complicit with big business for their own financial advancement, care little about their oaths to the Constitution or the citizens. “To control commerce, banking, transportation and natural resources on a national level, you must control the federal government.”[11]

To further implement his cutthroat agenda against the United States, Rockefeller created the Council on Foreign Relations, a by-invitation-only forum, for influential leaders in the fields of finance, numerous foundations, academics, law, commerce, the media, and politics. For decades, members of this Elite Establishment have permeated the State Department, the Defense Department, all three branches of government - presidents, vice presidents, Secretaries of State, Senators, Representatives and Justices of the Supreme Court. CFR-affiliated foundations include: The Carnegie Foundation, The Ford Foundation, The Heritage Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, among others.[12] These foundations fund many of the U.N. programs while portraying themselves as constitution-friendly conservatives.

Environmental groups, intent on changing the world, have affected private property rights in America. These groups include the Nature Conservatory, National Wildlife Federation, the World Wildlife Federation, the Greenpeace Foundation, and the Sierra Club, once a very benign group. They have all received money from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and others.[13]

At the same time that the Rockefeller Foundation and others are funding environmentalist groups, they are also funding the advancement of genetically modified foods. Pesticides, rather than enhance growth, impacts the soil’s health which influences the ability to create healthy food which ultimately affects a nation’s health. The Green Revolution, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, systemized agriculture which ultimately included the use of expensive chemicals, the demise of the independent farmer and our nation’s food supply under the control of a few multinational corporations. The monstrous Monsanto uses government connections to get patents on natural products, like apples. Patents should never be issued on natural products but only on invented items. Their connections also lead to the use of expensive, profit-producing dangerous pesticides.

We are obediently goose-stepping our way quickly into the New World Order and it doesn’t make any difference which party occupies the White House or which party has a majority in Congress. Left, right, conservative and liberal -all are equally culpable. Public servants (yes, they are servants) on both sides of the aisle, belong to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) whose primary efforts are focused on creating a tyrannical New World Order. The majority of our public servants, obviously unaccountable to the constituents, function as wolves protecting the sheep. They are either incredibly inefficient or glory-seeking collaborators who long ago eradicated the Constitution, the rule of law, which makes them all guilty of perjury, perhaps even treason.

Master Plan for total control - About the power of Google (a short film by Ozan Halici and Jurgen Mayer)

Dominating data storage. Dominating marketing. Total monopoly on information. Collecting all of your emails and personal information to be stored and accessed by anyone anytime, in perpetuity. Google is secretly creating full-spectrum dossiers on all users for the CIA and much, much more that they don’t like to talk about. The last time dossiers were compiled on individuals, millions died.

Now they are at it again.

“Don’t Be Evil”??

Don’t believe them.

Based in part on the book, “The Google Story” by David A. Vise
