[Introduction]
The Vice President of the United States, Nelson Rockefeller, visits New Zealand from April 1 to 3, and will be spending all that time in Wellington. Most people know him as the V.P., as a very rich man, and as a former Governor of New York. But there's much more to Rocky than meets the eye, as you find out.....
Nelson Rockefeller is one of a family which is probably responsible for more misery and death through-out the world than anyone else in history.
The Rockefellers control:
- 20% of American banks (total value $65 billion)
- 50% of American oil industry ($58 billion)
- 23 huge billion dollar corporations in U.S.
- a large percentage of the corporations that rank among America's top 100 war profiteers (t he Rockefellers like wars, as they make a lot of loot out of them).
- 20% of all U.S. industry.
- numerous churches, universities and cultural
- centres, plus their own personal mansions, hotels, farms, resorts, ranches etc.
- 25% of all U.S. private investment in Africa, Asia and Latin America, where labour is cheaper, resources more plentiful and profits higher than anywhere else.
The Rockefellers and a few other wealthy families in the U.S. control the power of the American state machine. This is not hard to see when one has a look at a few positions within the U.S. government that are and have been held by Rockefeller family members and employees.
