Chilean Experience

Chilean Experience

Then a Chilean refuge testified from personal experience of the atrocities committed in the name of 'American Free-enterprise' Rockefeller-style.

Geoff Saveli, from CAFCINZ, was next in the line. He pointed to Rockefeller's visit as a further entrenchment of American economic and political control in New Zealand, and then spoke of Rocky's personal investment in New Zealand. To let one man have so much economic control over our country is sheer stupidity.

Rocky controls IBM which is involved deeply in the New Zealand business-world, and Lombard Finance Company, one of New Zealand's largest hire purchase financiers, which is a subsidiary of Chase Manhattan Bank.

Incidentally, Chase Manhattan Bank owns 15% of the Standard Bank of South Africa; just another way of safeguarding the status quo and thus protecting economic interests.
