In
their beginnings, the Rothschild Family had only a small banking
establishment based in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Rothschild's, allied
with other wealthy families, such as the Carnegies and the Bilderbergers,
would expand their banking operations into European countries, benefiting
from the extensive international network of business and political figures
who were participating in the ELITE FRATERNITIES of Freemason Lodges,
which were established throughout Europe.
Freemasonry
needed money to finance its efforts to build a NEW ONE WORLD ORDER, and
the Rothschild's would be able to provide the money the Freemasons needed.
The Rothschild's and the Freemasons would each profit from the
other and begin a GLOBAL ECONOMIC NETWORK with a ONE WORLD philosophy that
would be passed from one generation to the next.
By
the 1820s the Rothschilds had become the dominant banking family of
Europe, controlling the fastest growing banks in France, England, Austria,
Italy, and Germany. The
wealthy investment bankers who allied themselves with the Rothschilds and
the Masonic Order prospered through a series of financial mergers and
acquisitions, which would essentially become the future pattern for how
International Business would lay its framework on cross-border investments.
The
GENIUS financial and business operations of the Rothschilds would pave the
International way towards a ONE WORLD ECONOMY as we witnessed during the
late 20th Century. Politics,
religion, and nationalism would become obsolete in a corporate agenda
meant to manipulate the world powers through a NETWORK of money-making
opportunities that would move the world towards a UNITED NATIONS AGENDA.
HOW
THE NETWORK MOVED IN HISTORY
By the 1820’s, five Rothschild brothers were the dominant banking
family within five countries in Europe: GERMANY, FRANCE, ENGLAND, ITALY,
and AUSTRIA.
In the late 1800’s, the Rothschilds financed American
Corporations through:
1.
WARBURGS OF GERMANY who were partners with:
2.
KUHN, LOEB CO. OF NEW YORK
These were some of the principal stockholders in the FEDERAL
RESERVE. PAUL WARBURG from
Germany was the first Chairman of the FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD.
FREEMASONRY needed money, so the Rothchilds made wealthy
contributions to FREEMASON LODGES, which served as a tax-shelter for the
rich and whoever else wanted to contribute money towards their “good
causes of charity.” Business
and political figures would join the FREEMASON LODGES, which would serve
as a meeting place for men to discuss how best to make money and further
GLOBALIZATION. As a MEETING
GROUND FRATERNITY for contributions, it would enable men desiring power to
meet men of power.
The Rothchilds provided money to the FREEMASON LODGES and also
financed:
1.
CARNEGIE STEEL
2.
ROCKEFELLER STANDARD OIL
The CARNEGIES and ROCKEFELLERS basically financed:
1.
CHASE MANHATTAN
2.
CITIBANK
In 1890, STANDARD OIL OF OHIO, owned by John D. Rockefeller, was
refining 90% of all crude oil in the United States.
The Rockefeller owned petroleum stations included:
1.
EXXON (Standard Oil Of New Jersey)
2.
ARCO (Atlantic Richfield Oil
Company)
3.
MOBIL (Standard Oil Of New York)
4.
CHEVRON
5.
TEXACO
6.
SHELL (ROYAL DUTCH SHELL)
The
financial alliance of Rothchild/Rockefeller/Carnegie/Freemason interests
would gain power seats in the administration of Europe and America’s
finances, forming an international economic alliance that would pave the
way toward GLOBALIZATION.
J.P. MORGAN, the famous investment banker, also became a part of
the FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD and was an insider of the Masonic New World
Order as well. His family had
a long history of supporting GLOBALISM.
J.P. Morgan’s vision of GLOBALISM would expand:

Professor
Carroll Quigley’s book Tragedy and Hope: A History of The World In Our
Time was published in 1966, recounts events that took place under J.P.
Morgan's reign:
"The structure
of financial controls created by the tycoons of "Big Banking"
and "Big Business" . . . was of extraordinary complexity . . .
one, centered in New York, was headed by J.P. Morgan and Company, and the
other, in Ohio, was headed by the Rockefeller family. When these two
cooperated, as they generally did, they could influence the economic life
of the country . . . and could almost control its political life, at least
on the Federal level." 1. Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A
History Of The World In Our Time, The Macmillan Co, New York, 1966, page
72
"To Morgan all
political parties were simply organizations to be used, and the firm
always was careful to keep a foot in all camps. Morgan himself, Dwight
Morrow, and other partners were allied with Republicans; Russell C.
Leffingwell was allied with the Democrats; Grayson Murphy was allied with
the extreme Right; and Thomas W. Lamont was allied with the Left . . . Our
concern at the moment is with the links between Wall Street and the Left,
especially the Communists . . . . The chief evidence, however, can be
found in the files of the HUAC which shows Tom Lamont, his wife Flora, and
his son Corliss as sponsors and financial angels to almost a score of
extreme Left organizations, including the Communist Party itself." 1.
Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time, The
Macmillan Co, New York, 1966, pages 945-946
Professor
Quigley explained how the American people were deceived. Referring to the
influence of the Morgan and Rockefeller dynasties, he wrote:
"It was this
group of people . . . who provided much of the framework of influence
which the Communist sympathizers and fellow travelers took over in the
United States in the 1930's. It must be recognized that the power that
these energetic Left-wingers exercised was never their own power or
Communist power but was ultimately the power of the international
financial coterie, and, once the anger and suspicions of the American
people were aroused, as they were by 1950, it was a fairly simple matter
to get rid of the Red sympathizers. Before this could be done, however, a
congressional committee, following backward to their source the threads
which led from admitted Communists like Whittaker Chambers, through Alger
Hiss, and the Carnegie Endowment to Thomas Lamont and the Morgan Bank,
fell into the whole complicated network of interlocking tax-exempt
foundations. The Eighty-third Congress . . . set up a Special Committee to
Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations . . . . It soon became clear that
people of immense wealth would be unhappy if the investigation went too
far and that the "most respected" newspapers in the country,
closely allied with these men of wealth, would not get excited enough
about any revelations to make the publicity worth while, in terms of votes
or campaign contributions." Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A
History Of The World In Our Time, The Macmillan Co, New York, 1966, pages
954-955.
What did the Special Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt
Foundations discover that had to be suppressed by our "'most
respected' newspapers . . . closely aligned with . . . men of great
wealth?" Professor Quigley explained:
"An interesting
report showing the Left-wing associations of the interlocking nexus of
tax-exempt foundations was issued in 1954 rather quietly. Four years
later, the Reece committee's general counsel, Rene` A. Wormser, wrote a
shocked, but not shocking, book on the subject called Foundations: Their
Power and Influence." Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History Of
The World In Our Time, The Macmillan Co, New York, 1966, page 955.
In
his books and lectures Professor Quigley explained that powerful American
financiers joined their English counterparts in a common quest to unify
the world under a central government. He detailed how they took over
control of both political parties, making a mockery of our electoral
process. During the first half of this past century J.P. Morgan and his
associates along with the Rockefellers dominated the financial and
political life of our nation; during the latter half of the century the
Rockefeller dynasty usurped that power.

In
1967,
Morgan Stanley and Morgan Guaranty Trust found Morgan & Cie
International in Paris. GLOBAL
INVESTMENT companies such as Morgan Stanley Dean Witter would become a global
financial services company that maintains leading market positions in each

services. The Company combines global strength in investment banking and
institutional sales and trading with strength in providing full-service
and on-line brokerage services, investment and global asset management
services and, primarily through its Discover Card brand, quality consumer

Zohar told The Jerusalem Post that MSDW's strategy was for an incremental,
step-by-step increase focusing on utilizing the investment bank's global
technology know-how and connections. Sources say that MSDW is planning to
open shop in the Millennium Building in Tel Aviv. The deteriorating
security situation has not prevented MSDW from expanding its Israeli
operations, and sources say the recent decline on Nasdaq has proved to be
of more concern. Despite the influx of many new multinational investment
banks including Bank of America, JP MORGAN CHASE & CO., HSBC, and Bear
Stearns, on top of existing, leading investment banks such as Salomon
Smith Barney, LEHMAN BROTHERS, UBS Warburg, Robertson Stephens, and
Goldman Sachs, Zohar said that "the market is not overcrowded,
especially as MSDW is a market leader."

GLOBAL INVESTMENT
BANKING SURGES
LONDON (CNNfn) - As billion-dollar mergers and acquisitions mushroom across the globe, cross-border direct investment by multinational companies could surpass $1 trillion this year, after surging 27.5 percent to $865 billion in 1999, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development said Tuesday. UNCTAD also said in its World Investment Report 2000 report that direct investment prospects in Asia are bright, following a 9 percent jump in cross-border direct investment to $106 billion in 1999. Cross-border investment in Latin America jumped 21 percent to $90 billion, as privatization paved the way for an influx of funds. "A global marketplace for firms is emerging. Companies are being bought and sold across borders on an unprecedented scale," Karl Sauvant, chief author of the UNCTAD report, said in a statement. Direct cross-border investment flows into developed countries surged 32 percent to $636 billion last year, while investors pumped $208 billion into projects in developing countries, a 16 percent increase from a year earlier. Britain was the largest outward investor, shelling out $199 billion in 1999. International direct investment has proven to be more stable for firms than equity and debt, the report said.
Mergers &Acquisitions Drive International Direct Investment
One of the main drivers of such investments is mergers and acquisitions.
Some 24,000 merger and acquisition deals were sealed last year with a completed value of $2.3 trillion, the report said.
Of those deals, 109 "mega-deals" with a value of more than $1 billion, accounted for more than 60 percent of the total value of cross-border deals.
Energy and auto companies were among the top multinational companies, ranked in terms of their assets overseas. General Electric Co. (GE: Research, Estimates), General Motors Corp. (GM: Research, Estimates),Royal Dutch/Shell Group (SHEL), Ford Motor Co. (F: Research, Estimates) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM: Research, Estimates) were listed as the top five.
While investment in Asia grew on the whole last year, funds to China dropped by nearly 8 percent to $40 billion.
Investment in Japan, meanwhile, quadrupled to $13 billion as Japanese companies invested less overseas.
"This mirrors strategic changes in Japanese companies, which are increasingly viewing M&As as a means to revitalize and restructure,"
LEHMAN BROTHERS http://www.lehman.com/
NEW YORK, March 8, 2001 — Continuing its successful strategic expansion of key capital markets businesses around the world, Lehman Brothers, the global investment bank, today announced the appointment of John Caccavale as a Managing Director and Head of the Firm’s New York-based Foreign Exchange Trading activities. According to Mark W. DeGennaro, head of Global Foreign Exchange, Mr. Caccavale joins Lehman Brothers after 20 years at J.P. Morgan & Co. His addition is the latest in the Firm’s ongoing expansion of strategic, higher-margin capital markets and investment banking activities globally. “The addition of a professional with the experience and expertise of John Caccavale is a clear reflection to clients of Lehman Brothers’ commitment to maintaining its leadership position in key capital markets activities,” Mr. DeGennaro said. “John will play a critical role in furthering Lehman Brothers’ efforts to establish a preeminent global foreign exchange business.”
The beginnings of this Global Investment ONE WORLD VISION began with the Rothschilds and Rockefellers forming a GLOBAL ALLIANCE which was accepted, approved, and ratified by merging companies looking to earn a huge profit from their INTERNATIONAL business ideas, goals, and plans.
Continuing with our financial history and how it all connects with our financial present and future, the ROCKEFELLERS, who intermarried with the CARNEGIES, would go on to finance many of America’s leading industries through CHASE MANHATTAN BANK and CITIBANK, both of which have been ROCKEFELLER family banks.

THE CARNEGIE RUSSIAN CONNECTION (www.carnegie.org )
Russia and other Post-Soviet States
Russia in 2000 is significantly different from Russia of even a few years ago. It is a country with a different president, a different parliament, different perceptions of itself and a different attitude toward the West and the United States in particular. Russia is faced with a fundamental challenge of joining the international network of security and economic relationships, or slipping toward further isolation. The West has an important role to play in determining Russia’s future. Russia’s size, resources, regional influence and military potential make Western disengagement from Russia a nonviable option. The Corporation’s grantmaking in this area will emphasize:
Fostering democracy and market-oriented economy in Russia
Promoting the rule of law
Integrating Russia into Western political and economic structures
The foundation will continue supporting projects that entail research and assessment of Russian policy developments, develop linkages between Russia and the United States and reach out to the American policymaking community. Preference will be given to projects that centrally involve Russian and American participants and draw in individuals from both countries.
INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY PROGRAM OF CARNEGIE CORPORATON NY
The International Peace and Security (IPS) program has three principal areas of focus: Nonproliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction; Russia and Other Post-Soviet States; and New Dimensions of Security, where the initial focus has been on the clash between the norms of the sanctity of existing international borders and the right to self-determination of an ethnic national group within a state. In the two years of grantmaking in these subareas, external events have served to underscore their criticality for global security. The Corporation’s Higher Education in the former Soviet Union initiative is also administered under this program rubric.
OUR MISSION
Carnegie Corporation of New York was created by Andrew Carnegie in 1911 to promote "the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding." Under Carnegie's will, grants must benefit the people of the United States, although up to 7.4 percent of the funds may be used for the same purpose in countries that are or have been members of the British Commonwealth, with a current emphasis on Commonwealth Africa. As a grantmaking foundation, the Corporation seeks to carry out Carnegie's vision of philanthropy, which he said should aim "to do real and permanent good in this world."
OUR WORK
The program areas that are now the focus of the Corporation's work have evolved over time, adapting to changing circumstances as Andrew Carnegie wished. While current program directions have been designed to correspond with the Corporation's historic mission and legacy and to maintain the continuity of its work, they are also intended to serve as catalysts for change.
In the 21st century, under Vartan Gregorian, Carnegie Corporation is facing the challenge of how to support the development of a global community in an age when both isolationism and nationalism seem to be fostering a fractured view of the world. And in a time when we are overwhelmed by information, how do we use it to build a sense of community instead of allowing it to tear us apart?
By the 1970s, the Rockefeller-controlled banks, which by this time included CHEMICAL BANK, accounted for about 25% of all the assets of the 50 largest commercial banks in the United States and for about 30% of all the assets of the 50 largest life insurance companies.
Owing much of their wealth to the Rockefellers, the families who intermarried with them such as THE CARNEGIES became loyal allies of the Rockefeller family. The Rockefellers could attribute their financial prosperity to the Rothschilds, expressing loyalty to them and their European interests. As a result of this family chain, much of America’s corporate wealth is ultimately traceable to the old money of Europe and the one-world interests of Freemasonry.
By 1890, STANDARD OIL OF OHIO, owned by John D. Rockefeller, was refining 90 percent of all crude oil in the United States and had already begun its international expansion. During this same year, Congress passed the Sherman Antitrust Act. It was passed by Congress as “an act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies.” This Antitrust Act said that trusts actually prevented free trade among the states. Although Congress attempted to regulate business through its constitutional right to regulate interstate commerce, no one could touch the Rockefeller monopolies anymore than the U.S. Government could touch Bill Gates Microsoft company in the Year 2000.
In 1911 the Supreme Court ruled that STANDARD OIL OF NEW JERSEY, owned by the Rockefeller family was in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. This act was titled: “An act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies.” It stated that trusts prevented free trade among the states. Congress attempted to regulate business through its constitutional right to regulate interstate commerce, but the Sherman Antitrust Act was not enforced during its first ten years.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER predicted that competition must result in CONSOLIDATION—the MERGER of the greatest competitors. He said, “The day of combination is here to stay. Individualism has gone, never to return.” The biggest trust in existence was the MONEY TRUST. Due to the demand for capital to expand their industries, the largest industrialists were turning to bankers for assistance. J.P. MORGAN organized the first billion-dollar corporation—UNITED STATES STEEL. Industry after industry fell under the control of BANKING CORPORATIONS. It seemed as if the entire nation of America would be controlled by a few trusts, which in turn would be run by the greatest trust of all, THE MONEY TRUST.
The holding company of STANDARD OIL OF NEW JERSEY was dissolved and its shares distributed among thirty-three companies in an attempt to break up the monopoly. These thirty-three companies were owned by the same people (John D. Rockefeller who owned 25% of the stock in each of the companies) and that there was no competition to beat any of them. The Standard Oil Trust did not actually own the other companies. Instead, a board of nine trustees operated them. The board took over the stock of these companies in return for which they gave shares of a newly-formed Trust. The board could therefore “hold, control, and manage” all the companies without actually owning them. In this way Standard Oil put an end to competition in the oil industry.
Part of the Rockefeller STANDARD OIL TRUST included, STANDARD OIL OF NEW JERSEY (today EXXON), STANDARD OIL OF NEW YORK, (today MOBIL), STANDARD OIL OF CALIFORNIA, STANDARD OIL OF INDIANA, STANDARD OIL OF OHIO and CHEVRON.
Stockholders of competing corporations turn over a controlling portion of their stock to a BOARD OF TRUSTEES, in exchange for trust certificates. Ownership of the corporations remains the same but management is now concentrated in the board of trustees, which acts as a BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION philosophy on GLOBALIZATION is in their own words:
GOAL: To ensure that globalization processes are more democratic and equitable and benefit the most vulnerable, disenfranchised populations, cultures and communities around the world.
The Global Inclusion cross-theme creates synergies that draw upon, supplement, promote and strengthen the four themes. It enhances learning, exchange and cooperative action among them. The more cross-fertilization and concrete links that occur among our program areas, the more likely it is that our work will facilitate positive links between the daily lives of people who are poor and excluded and the global forces that affect them.
Globalization contributes to the breakdown of traditional boundaries among the state, the market and civil society. It changes the constraints and operations of national governments, businesses and NGOs. Despite dramatic increases in the wealth created by the technologies and processes that propel globalization, the number of poor in Asia, Africa and Latin America has increased. Building on the mission of the Rockefeller Foundation, the goal of the Global Inclusion cross-theme is to ensure that the processes of global integration are as democratic and transparent as possible, and benefit the most vulnerable people and communities.
Globalization has the potential to benefit the world's poor and excluded, and improve the conditions of poor households and communities. Right now, however, almost all of the political and economic decisions that shape their lives are made outside of their community — and often, outside of their country — without their participation or voice. As a result, there are deep divides in income and well-being between those who can adapt and those who cannot, and between those who have access to power and those who do not.
Analysis of the social change process in a global context on an issue-by-issue basis will allow us to develop "ground rules" of norms, values, practices and institutions that will underpin globalization. Based on these analyses of issues and how they affect people who are poor and excluded, we will develop an overall "investment strategy" that will foster a network of partners that introduces knowledge and expertise at critical intervals in the process of global social change.
Our approach will also identify the new ground rules that reflect democratic norms and values, and accommodate the interests of poor people and other stakeholders. And then we will support the application of these ground rules by NGOs, businesses and governments as a way to promote global peace and prosperity.
Work will focus on globalization issues including security, intellectual property rights, economic integration, environment, population and livelihoods. The Global Inclusion Cross-theme will include two subthemes, which are currently underway, and several additional explorations.
INTRODUCTION TO ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION as posted on: www.rockfound.org :
In 1913 the work of the Rockefeller Foundation began.
During the emerging years, scientists and scholars worked to solve many of the worlds and the countrys ills. Plagues such as hookworm and malaria have been brought under control; food production for the hungry in many parts of the world has been increased; and the mind, heart, and spirit have been lifted by the work of Foundation-assisted artists, writers, dancers, and composers.
But other plagues continue: World hunger persists, particularly in Africa, as the imbalance among food, health, and growing populations threatens many countries, and in America the problems of cities and schools demand attention. The tasks of today are as vital and daunting as they were when John Davison Rockefellers foundation formally came into being.
His bent for philanthropy began early in life. In his teens, from sums earned in his first job, he allotted money for his Sunday school and other activities of his Baptist church. By 1860 Rockefellers philanthropy included regular contributions to churches, Sunday schools, and an orphanage.
As his personal wealth grew, Rockefellers interest in philanthropy increased. He was impressed in 1889 by an essay written by Andrew Carnegie and titled The Gospel of Wealth. The day is not far distant, Carnegie said, when the man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was free for him to administer during life, will pass away unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
Rockefeller wrote a letter to Carnegie: I would that more men of wealth were doing as you are doing with your money but, be assured, your example will bear fruits, and the time will come when men of wealth will more generally be willing to use it for the good of others. In the same year 1889 Rockefeller began his philanthropic work in earnest, making the first of what would become $35 million in gifts, over a period of two decades, to found the University of Chicago. In 1901 he established the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, now Rockefeller University. In 1903 he created the General Education Board at an ultimate cost of $129 million to promote education in the United States without distinction of sex, race, or creed.
In 1909 he established the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for Eradication of Hookworm Disease to cure and prevent the disease, particularly in the southern United States. Rockefeller was prepared to begin the Rockefeller Foundation in 1909, even signing a deed of trust to turn over 72,569 shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey stock worth $50 million. But delays and difficulties in seeking a federal charter for the Foundation, desired by Rockefeller though never obtained, resulted in a lapse until 1913, when the Foundation was officially incorporated in the state of New York.
Since its inception the Rockefeller Foundation has given more than $2 billion to thousands of grantees worldwide and has assisted directly in the training of nearly 13,000 Rockefeller Foundation Fellows. In the chronology that follows, we highlight the work of these men and women who have brought the work of the Rockefeller Foundation to life.
TIMELINE OF ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION AS POSTED ON: www.rockfound.org / http://www.rockfound.org/Documents/180/timeline.html :
Together with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts, RF creates the Energy Foundation, aimed at making energy generation and consumption in the United States more efficient and sustainable. The three foundations commit up to $100 million for a grant over 10 years.
RF creates, with 19 other international donors, a working group on Female Participation in Education, designed to help African governments increase school attendance and educational performance of girls and young women.
With several national conferences organized by scholars at the University of Houston, RF launches a long-term research, preservation, and publishing project to recover the Hispanic literary heritage of the U.S.
Seven national foundations and Prudential Insurance Company of America form a consortium to accelerate the growth and activity of the nation's community development corporations. They give $2 billion, utilizing five banks over a 10-year period.
1991
The Foundation joins with the United Nations Development Programme, UNICEF, WHO, and the World Bank to form the Children's Vaccine Initiative (CVI) to protect the world's children against all viral and bacterial diseases. CVI's goal is for every child in the world to be vaccinated against those common childhood illnesses that are preventable.
Working with other organizations and institutions, the Foundation launches a program to identify, train, and support the next generation of leaders in ecologically sound development. LEAD- Leadership for Environment and Development-supports local institutions that each year identify 15 associates from each of nine major countries and three geographic regions for participation in a two-year program.
A detailed molecular genetic map of rice is developed with RF funding at Cornell University and disseminated to rice breeders worldwide to facilitate creation of improved rice varieties.
RF launches arts and humanities initiatives in the developing world. The first of these is the U.S.-Mexico Fund for Culture, with offices in Mexico City. A partnership of RF, the Bancomer Foundation, and Mexico's National Fund for Culture, the Fund fosters collaboration and exchange between U.S. and Mexican artists and scholars.
1992
The Population Sciences program initiates a 10-year program to make quality family planning and reproductive health available to every couple in the world who wants it.
The Foundation restructures itself around nine core strategies, setting specific targets for each strategy.
The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is organized at the Bellagio Study and Conference Center by 25 women cabinet ministers, university chancellors, and other senior educators from 19 sub-Saharan African countries. FAWE, which emphasizes female education on the continent, receives RF grant support.
The African Publishers Network is founded with RF support to address the book crisis in Africa through inter-African cooperation and expansion and professionalization of indigenous publishing activities.
1993
A mid-term review of RF's rice biotechnology program and partnerships with more than 350 scientists in Asia and elsewhere reveals that new varieties of rice should feed 100 million more people than believed possible, and 150 million additional people within 20 years.
The international security program focuses on the abolition of weapons of mass destruction in south Asia, east Asia, and the Middle East.
The final group of Biotechnology Career Fellows is selected. Launched in 1984, this program supported 183 fellows-many of whom have since risen to prominent research positions in their home countries-to update their biotechnology skills and develop collaborative research projects.
1994
RF begins the Next Step: Jobs initiative with the Corporation for Supportive Housing to integrate employment services into supportive housing centers in three cities. By 1997 employment rates double in these 3,000 supportive housing units.
The Foundation offers a $1 million prize for the development of a low-cost, rapid, easy-to-perform diagnostic test for common sexually transmitted diseases that would be appropriate for use in developing nations and other resource-poor areas.
The Foundation earmarks $1.3 million for new population policy research in sub-Saharan Africa, the only region in which unmet demand for contraception is still growing, and for the establishment of a center of excellence to conduct such research, based in Nairobi, Kenya.
Along with the United Nations Population Fund, an RF grant helps launch the Partners in Population and Development program, a unique consortium of 10 developing countries eager to promote more South-to-South collaboration in family planning and reproductive health.
E&Co, a nonprofit international organization, is created with RF funding to promote energy enterprises in developing countries. E&Co's first grants are made in Guatemala, Morocco, and India.
More than 375 schools are using the School Development Program, which forms the core of RF's school reform program, first supported in 1989 in 70 schools. Inspired by the work of Yale psychiatrist Dr. James Comer, the initiative includes teacher-training partnerships and how-to videos.
1995
Alice Stone Ilchman becomes the 10th chair of the board of trustees. She is the first woman to be elected to this position.
RF begins a partnership with the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation to connect inner-city residents with the world of work. The following year the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Chase Bank join in supporting RF projects designed to increase employment in public housing developments and poor neighborhoods.
An RF-funded team of American and Asian scientists clone a gene for resistance against bacterial blight, an important disease of rice worldwide. When transferred to susceptible varieties, the gene yields excellent resistance.
The Foundation launches the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) to promote the development and manufacture of safe, effective, preventive HIV vaccines for use throughout the world.
The RF's director for Arts and Humanities testifies in support of public funding for the arts before the United States Congress as it contemplates the fate of the National Endowment for the Arts.
1996
RF publishes a report, Stories of Renewal: Community Building and the Future of Urban America, a compilation of two decades of lessons drawn from community building around the country that is used nationwide as a guide for this burgeoning field.
What Matters Most, the National Commission on Teaching for America's Future's blueprint for revolutionizing the teaching profession in the United States, is widely hailed and implemented in 12 states. RF conceived and funded the project.
The value of the Foundation's endowment exceeds $3 billion.
1997
The final group of Social Science Research Fellows in Agriculture is selected. Begun in 1975, this program enabled young social scientists to work on agricultural and rural development projects while based at developing-country universities and research institutions and at major international agricultural research institutes.
"Modernities and Memories," an unprecedented exhibition of the work of 13 contemporary artists from nine Islamic countries, is organized with support from the RF's initiative in Muslim societies and is presented at the XLVII Venice Biennale.
High Stakes: The United States, Global Population and Our Common Future, published by the RF, becomes an influential document in debates over U.S. government support for international family planning. Among its observations: "The story of U.S. involvement in family planning is a story of the best and most effective kind of American international leadership: generous, humane, steady, sustained and nonpolitical-aimed at helping people take control of their lives and help themselves."
Scientists in the RF's rice biotechnology network discover that all cereals have essentially the same basic genes as rice. Thus much of what has been learned in the rice biotechnology program can be applied to maize, wheat, sorghum, and other cereals as well.
RF approves the third and final round of funding for the National Community Development Initiative. HUD and more than 1,400 donors from the corporate and philanthropic communities provide $253 million in 10 years and leverage over $2 billion in local funding for community development.
After 10 years of concerted effort, the composition of the RF board and staff has become increasingly diverse. On the board of trustees, the number of women grows to 43 percent from 18 percent and the percentage of minorities from 23 percent to 29 percent. Among RF officers, women now comprise more than half (52 percent, up from 29 percent in 1986) and minorities more than a third (36 percent, up from 13 percent).
RF's 12th president, Gordon Conway, takes office in April 1998.
http://www.rockefeller.edu/archive.ctr/
The Rockefeller Archive Center, a division of The Rockefeller University, was established in 1974 to assemble, process, and make available for scholarly research the papers of the Rockefeller family and the records of various philanthropic and educational institutions founded by the family, including The Rockefeller University, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. The Center has recently begun to collect non-Rockefeller philanthropic records. These holdings presently include the archives of the Commonwealth Fund, the Culpeper Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, the John and Mary Markle Foundation, and the Social Science Research Council.
The Center's 30,000 cubic feet of documents, 500,000 photographs, and 2000 films provide unique insights into worldwide developments and issues of the 19th and 20th centuries. Major subjects covered in the records include agriculture, the arts, African-American history, education, international relations and economic development, labor, medicine, philanthropy, politics, population, religion, the social sciences, social welfare, and women's history.
Researchers are strongly encouraged to contact the Rockefeller Archive Center at least 24 hours in advance of a visit. The scheduling of appointments will ensure the most efficient use of research time. The Center's reading room is open to researchers on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. until 4:45 p.m. An information packet, which includes a map, a listing of the Center's holiday closings and local accommodations, is available. Researchers are invited to write to the Center's director, describing their projects in specific terms. The staff will respond with a description of the scope and content of relevant materials in the collections.
Complete finding aids for the collections listed in the Archival and Manuscript Collections are available at the Rockefeller Archive Center. The summaries provided here are designed to give researchers a brief introduction to the many collections maintained here at the Rockefeller Archive Center. If you need more specific assistance, please contact the Archive Center Staff for assistance.
Does this all sound like ‘good and charitable deeds’ to earn the Rockefellers a ticket into Heaven? Never once will we ever hear any FOUNDATION like the Rockefeller Foundation give glory to God’s Name through Jesus Christ. So what? Well, we should examine the motives of the Rockefeller Foundation as well as all other foundations which ‘do good works’ but do not praise God through Jesus’ Name.
A revealing book: Merging America into World Government as told by Norman Dodd, Congressional investigator of tax-exempt foundations explains the REAL MOTIVES. In this program you will learn that the major tax-exempt foundations, since at least 1945, have been operating to promote an agenda that has little to do with charity, good works, or philanthropy. The real objectives include the creation of a world-wide collectivist state which is to be ruled from behind the scenes by those same interests which control the foundations. This story is told by Norman Dodd who, in 1954, was the staff director of the Congressional Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations, known as the Reece Committee, in recognition of its Chairman, Congressman Carroll Reece. Mr. Dodd speaks from experience with the leaders of the great foundations of that period, some of whom were amazingly frank about their goals. This interview, conducted by G. Edward Griffin, has captured a rare piece of history and illustrates the continuity between the past and present drive for a “New World Order.” The book can be ordered on-line at: http://www.realityzone.com/hiddenagenda.html
According to a New York Times report, the largest of the Rockefeller oil companies, STANDARD OIL OF NEW JERSEY (EXXON) alone controlled 321 other companies, including Humble Oil and Venezuela’s Creole Petroleum, themselves among the largest corporations in the world.
By 1975, the Rockefellers had gained control of the single largest block of stock in Atlantic Richfield (ARCO), and were believed to be in control of TEXACO as well. It was also discovered that the Rockefellers were operating major joint ventures with ROYAL DUTCH SHELL, which was already in the hands of European ONE-WORLD INTERESTS.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Congressman Larry P. McDonald wrote THE ROCKEFELLER FILE, a book exposing the Rockefeller’s financial holdings and secret intentions. We can learn from this book that the Rockefellers had as many as 200 TRUSTS and FOUNDATIONS and that the actual number might be in the thousands. Such control was and is possible because Rockefeller banks, such as CHASE MANHATTAN, have become trustees for many other U.S. foundations as well, possessing the right to invest and to vote the stock of these institutions through the bank’s trust department.
Congressman Larry P. McDonald warned the American public with the following statement:
“THE ROCKEFELLER FILE is NOT FICTION. It is a compact, powerful and frightening presentation of what may be the most important story of our lifetime—the drive of the Rockefellers and their allies to create a one-world government combining super-capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control. 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 50 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 a conspiracy? Yes, I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.” This Congressional Letterhead dated November 1975 would end in tragedy for the Congressman. On August 31, 1983 he was killed aboard the Korean Airlines 007 which ‘accidentally’ strayed over Soviet airspace and was ‘accidentally’ shot down.
The following excerpts were taken from: http://www.illuminati-news.com/ from the ROCKEFELLER BLOODLINE:
Today, there are around 190 members of this family with the Rockefeller name and of course some others by other last names.
No one knows how many trusts and foundations the Rockefellers have. They have hidden trusts within secret trusts. It is estimated that they have between 200 and several thousand trusts and foundations. The finances of the Rockefellers are so well covered that Nelson Rockefeller did not pay one cent in income taxes in 1970, yet he was perhaps the richest man in the U.S. The Rockefellers exert enormous influence over religion in this nation in the following ways:
1. They provide a large share of the money that Seminaries in the United States need to operate.

The Rockefeller’s influence is both subtle and not so subtle. In the book: The Unholy Alliance details are given on how the seminaries, church boards and Christian colleges have been captured. Much of the money for this came from the Rockefellers. One of the principle large Foundations that was instrumental in controlling religious institutions of various kinds was the SEALANTIC FUND. This Foundation which was incorporated in 1938 and was headquartered in New York City (50 West 50th St.) gave enormous sums of money to manipulate Protestant concerns.
In 1964, according to the Russell Sage Foundation’s book The Foundation Directoy the Sealantic Fund gave away $681,886 in grants. In 1969, the Fund gave $1,889,550 in grants.
By 1984, the Sealantic Fund was not being used. But a look at another Rockefeller non-profit untaxed Foundation the Rockefeller Brother’s Fund shows a revealing grant pattern.

David Rockefeller is also part of LUCIS TRUST’S MANAGEMENT. Lucis Trust puts out the book Externalization of the Hierarchy by Alice Bailey, which spells out The Plan for the Satanists and New Agers on how the spiritual Hierarchy (actually the demonic hierarchy) is to externalize their rule of the planet.
The book gives quite a few of the details of the plan, and is used as a textbook for New Agers at the Arcane Schools in NY, London, and Europe on how the New Age/One World Religion/One-World-Government will be brought in. If anyone doubts the Rockefeller’s commitment to Satan, read page 107 of Externalization of the Hierarchy. On page 107 Alice Bailey, President of the Theosophical Society and part of Lucis (formerly Lucifer) Trust, tells us who will rule when the New Age (New World Order) takes over. On the Earthly level, humanity so to speak, the Ruler is given on page 107 as Lucifer. On the Spiritual level-called “Shamballa - the Holy City” the coming ruler is given as “the Lord of the World” which we Christians know as Satan.
Lucis Trust knows it is Satan too, but for public consumption they say that the “ruler of the world” is Sanat (a scrambling of Satan) Kumara. They also predict there will be a Christ Consciousness and the Christ (actually the Anti-Christ). The book Externalization of the Hierarchy teaches repeatedly (see pages 511-512, 514) that the 3 vehicles to bring in the New Age will be the Masonic Lodges, (obviously not everyone attends Lodges), next the Churches (this is clearly revealing to us that men like the Rockefellers are using the churches for the Luciferian plan of Lucis Trust), and finally Education (Well, of course education. Not everyone attends churches. They need a safety net to catch everyone in their brainwashing to make us all want to be happy slaves under the Light-bearer.)
The home life of the Rockefellers is decidedly different than for most people. They have over 100 homes to stay at. The Rockefellers own vast tracts of good land in various countries in South America, and have nice homes in Brazil, Ecuador, and their Monte Sacro Ranch, Venezuela. They have two mansions in Washington, D.C. (at least), numerous ranches around the United States, resorts in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean, a 32- room 5th Ave duplex in N.Y., not to mention their place at Seal Harbor, Maine, and the large estate at Pocantico Hills, NY. It is estimated that they have 2,500 house servants.
