JP Morgan: Robber Baron 2B2F
From the SpearheadFiles
Originally Published on January 26, 2011
Many people simply write off “conspiracy theory” as nothing more than fantastic SyFy channel fantasy, defined solely by stories of reptile aliens and satanic Boehmian Grove carnival freakshows.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
A conspiracy is nothing more than a group of people conspiring to carry out some action or actions to achieve certain goals, using their resources to effect deception, dishonesty, and misdirection so as to gain from the people's ignorance as they focus on all of the mass media misinformation and disinformation promulgated as weapons of mass distraction.
For instance, when one encounters left-wing liberals who are staunch anti-capitalist and anti-free market ideologues, they will sometimes make reference to the need for more Government regulation of business and the marketplace…otherwise you get the conditions for those dreadful “Robber Barons” who exploited the masses back in the early 20th century to amass fantastic wealth.
For example, note how this self-identified lefty blogger discusses “robber barons” and “unbridled capitalism.” He effectively describes the system of corporatism…which is really nothing more than a new name for fascism.
Real capitalism, by definition is “unbridled.” Pure capitalism is a free market.
The Robber Barons were not capitalists. They were Corporatists…aka Fascists. They used their wealth to finance elections to gain influence on the politicians to pass laws that would benefit their bottom lines by eliminating their competition through regulations and enforcement, thereby granting these Robber Baron’s corporations industry-wide cartels.
They CONSPIRED.
Conspired to take over the country and institute their vision of Government by the Corporations, for the Corporations…unbridled corporatism, not capitalism.
Yet those same robber barons that the leftist will decry as the primary example for why we need the Government to “regulate” the economy…
…are the same who financed, supported and lobbied to create the Federal Reserve in the first place…and who also now own significant shares of the stocks of the Fed’s member banks.
From the FDIC Learning Bank:
The term robber baron was revived in the 19th century in the U.S. as a pejorative term describing businessman who allegedly used unscrupulous tactics in their business operations and on the stock market to amass huge personal fortunes.Many of their massive businesses controlled a large majority of all activity in the respective industry, often arrived at through predatory pricing schemes that are now illegal.
Some of the most notable robber barons were J.P. Morgan (banking), John D. Rockefeller (oil), and Andrew Carnegie (steel).
Take special note of those three names.
Check out the Congressional Committee on Banking, Currency and Housing Report of 1976.
Note that all three names figure prominently in the formation and ownership of the Federal Reserve member banks.
All three amassed vast fortunes and enormous political control. All three had their wealth turned into multi-generational dynasties. All three estates eventually formed Foundations to protect the family wealth from the normal taxes We the Sheeple have to pay, as well as effecting the means of influencing society for their long term benefit.
For instance, The Rockefeller Foundation funded Feminism…they CONSPIRED to change the very fabric of society by attacking the Patriarchal structure of the nuclear family.
Here’s an excerpt from Aaron Russo’s last interview before his death in 2007 in which he recounts a conversation he had with Nick Rockefeller:
Well one of the things he told me was that.. he was at the house one night and we started talking and he was laughing and he said, “Aaron what do you think Women’s Liberation was all about?”
And I had pretty conventional thinking about it at that point and I said, “I think it’s about women having the right to work to get equal pay with men just like they won the right to vote.”
He started to laugh and he said, “Your an idiot.”
And I said, “Why am I an idiot?”
And he said, “Let me tell you what that was about. We the Rockefellers funded that.”
“We funded Women’s Lib and we’re the ones who got it all over the newspapers and television (through) the Rockefeller Foundation…”
And he says, “You wanna know why?
There were two primary reasons.
And one reason was we couldn’t tax half the population before Women’s Lib and the second reason was now we get the kids in school at an early age.. we can indoctrinate kids on how to think and with it break up their family. The kids start looking at the state as the family.. As the schools as the officials as their family.. not the parents teaching them. And so those were the two primary reasons for Women’s Lib.”
Some people will ignore this quote and say that conspiracy theories are nothing more than reptilian alien sex fiend delusions promoting female supremacy.
These same folks will laugh and criticize the likes of one of the internet’s most famous conspiracy theorist, Henry Makow, as a complete moonbat who hurts the cause of Men’s Rights.
Yet Henry Makow repeatedly issues the most basic and simplest of challenges for people who think he’s a loon to see how right or wrong he is: Google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies.”
The Rockefeller Foundation literally has bankrolled the primary transmitter of Cultural Feminism for the last several decades in the US – the Women’s Studies programs in colleges and Universities across the country.
All the aspiring journalists, film makers, screenwriters, and other news media and entertainment industry focused students took these women’s studies classes during their educational careers, and hit the mass media production industry after graduation, fully indoctrinated in the attitudes and ideas of the feminist zeitgeist. And it literally embedded itself into the mass media propaganda we now call “info-tainment” to make it a cultural influence that has perfectly socially engineered our modern feminist society.
But remember…this is crazy conspiracy theory. It couldn’t possibly be true…feminism was an organic, grass roots movement born of women who were truly oppressed by Western Patriarchy!
The Carnegie Foundation has also been a big supporter of feminist scholarship.
But for this article, I’d like focus primarily on the third Robber Baron’s Estate listed: JP Morgan.
While Carnegie and Rockefeller’s wealth were used to create Foundations to exert influence over society, JP Morgan became one of our present day banks “too big to fail.”
But don’t be mistaken if you think that JP Morgan doesn’t have anything to do with feminism either.
In fact, JP Morgan has ingeniously positioned itself to reap massive profits from one of the lynch pins of effecting Feminist policy in the U.S. – the Food Stamp programs now using debit cards instead of the Federally printed paper “stamps.”
As the Economic Collapse Blog points out:
JP Morgan is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States. JP Morgan has contracted to provide food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. JP Morgan is paid for each case that it handles, so that means that the more Americans that go on food stamps, the more profits JP Morgan makes. Yes, you read that correctly. When the number of Americans on food stamps goes up, JP Morgan makes more money.
Food stamps (aka WIC and/or EBT and/or SNAP) is one of the key programs of the "social(ist) safety net" that enable women to create more single-mother households. Women don’t need Men to be providers now…they have JP Morgan to assist the Federal Government in taking money from working taxpayers and feeding single mother households and their illegitimate broods!
JP Morgan also administers child support debit cards in 15 States, making it more efficient for child support agencies to take money from Dads and deposit them via electronic funds transfers into these debit card accounts so women will have a much easier time spending the support payments with their JP Morgan child support debit cards.
Isn’t JP Morgan just great?!
I say it’s time to starve this beast.
If you have a JP Morgan bank account, close it. Take your business elsewhere.
If you have a JP Morgan credit card, pay it off or transfer your balance to a smaller bank that isn’t a part owner of the Federal Reserve banking system nor a profiteer off of the feminazi welfare state.
Reduce your tax obligations to the least amount possible. It’s our tax dollars being used to pay the likes of JP Morgan to administer these debit card programs.
Better yet, expatriate to some country where Rockefeller and Carnegie sponsored social engineering – aka “feminism” – has yet to take a demographically destructive hold on the populace (if such places even exist anymore).
All things considered, I realize that realistically, such actions taken by the amount of readers who would take this seriously still wouldn’t even come close to being able to starve this beast. It’s grown to large, too menacing and too rapacious.
But at least you won’t be supporting it’s continued devouring of Western Civilization. After all, even if you can’t effectively starve the beast, that doesn’t mean you should help to feed it either.
Notable Commentary from the Original Post
Joe Zamboni January 26, 2011 at 10:29
Much more could be said about the intentions behind Feminism, for example its intention to impose a new level of fascist governmental control. But the notion of “starving the beast” is a worthy topic for this comment thread. Yes, great, don’t earn any more taxable money than you absolutely need, so you won’t contribute to the draconian Feminist system under which we live. But there are many other ways to starve the beast. Engage in barter and mutual-support arrangements with neighbors. Don’t get married. Don’t buy Valentine Day’s gifts. Don’t engage in the wine-and-dine dating process. Home school your kids if you have them. Better yet, don’t have kids and make sure you don’t by getting a vasectomy. In what other ways are people starving the beast?

One doesn’t need to have a buncha guys and gals in smoke-filled rooms to be a conspiracy.
One need only to look at the etymology of the word to see that “conspiracy” can have a very wide application:
“con”, meaning “with” or “together”, and
“spire” meaning “breathe”.
Thus a “conspiracy” is merely a collection of people who think alike and act in a congruent way…they “breathe together” in unison.
We are truly surrounded by conspiracies.

The author thinks that big business funded the birth of feminism in order to weaken collective bargaining and increase profits.
Maybe, maybe not. Who cares? That was long ago. Today, the feminist crusade for privilege, pampering, and entitlement is killing the economy, and corporate profits along with it. I guess you could say “what goes around, comes around.”
Keoni Galt January 26, 2011 at 11:01
"The author thinks that big business funded the birth of feminism in order to weaken collective bargaining and increase profits."
No, the author thinks that Big Business became BIG because they were able to buy influence and power to gain control of the government to pass laws and promote ideas to shape society via educational institutions and mass media.
Feminism is one of those things they deliberately promulgated, for a variety of reasons.
Today, the feminist crusade for privilege, pampering, and entitlement is killing the economy, and corporate profits along with it.
Except for the Corporations of the likes of JP Morgan. As the economy continues to tank, more people become dependent on foodstamps. The more people on the foodstamp debit card program, the more JP Morgan profits.
You think JP Morgan and all the other corporations “too big to fail” are hurting with the rest of us? Hardly…they’re profiting mightily off of our misery!
Keyster January 26, 2011 at 11:11
One could argue George Soros is the modern day version of those guys, with his manipulation of currency markets and financial influence in the liberal media. He’s at the top of the NWO hierarchy.
The beast IS starving right now. The “American Dream” is over and people sense it. We’re getting make to basics. Gone are the days of McMansions, SUV’s and massive consumerism. The well has run dry. States will default to get out of public worker pension debt. The federal government will need to slow printing money. Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid will HAVE to be cut, along with defense. The big three are 80% of the budget. We lack the political will to make the hard choices now, so the pain will only be greater later.
Without the current level of government entitlements women as a group will be facing some harsh realities about life. They may even take to liking men again.

@ Keoni:
take opposition to your message as proof you are on the right track. And IMO, internet debate has evolved beyond troll-sniping where any flaming gets quickly ignored/down-voted. Call it the awakening of materialistic delusion as Western status erodes and resources dwindle. The more the opposition, the closer to the awakening.
As for this article, I think there may be some deeper, darker forces involved than just a few greedy families – witchcraft, ancient Arabic bloodfeuds etc. Anyone who tries to ‘connect these dots’ requires incredible focus and stamina. Thankfully, you have maintained focus in exposing the Rock/Carn/Morg trifecta.

@antz Maybe, maybe not. Who cares? That was long ago. Today, the feminist crusade for privilege, pampering, and entitlement is killing the economy, and corporate profits along with it.
—
its killing the economy for the Regular Joe/Jane, but dont get it twisted.. corporate profits are only going HIGHER. 16% real unemployment but magically the market is back up to 12,000 and revving up.. its the people that cant afford a ticket to the “big show” that are getting shafted. both Men AND Women.
this is about 3 things, money power control. The people at the top have it, they want to keep it (forever), and they will destroy those below them to do that. As long as they maintain that buffer that separates them from the rioting masses beneath them, they are safe. How do they maintain that safety net? DIVISION. repubs vs dems vs conserve vs neocon men vs women vs homos vs retards vs kids jew vs muslim vs christian vs terrorist jets vs steelers vs packers vs michael vick color vs color vs label label label you get it. slap a label on someone and someone ELSE will attack.. if they don’t, make that “labeled” person PRIVILEGED with laws and PROTECTION from the non-labeled and guess what… CONFLICT.
As long as everyone’s attention is focused on the fight in the ring, no one sees the vault getting robbed.
the ones robbing the vault …. conspirators the ones robbing the vault control the media… therefore we can only theorize what happened since they control the flow of (dis)information Conspiracy Theory

"The Rockefellers funded feminism. The Rockefeller foundation gave the funding to Albert Kinsey to produce his research that was instrumental in overturning the sexual morality of the formerly Patriarchal nation."
If the Rockefellers are so evil, how come nobody ever attempted to assassinate one of them? Even Hitler was targeted multiple times.
Keoni Galt January 26, 2011 at 11:44
Easy Firepower…the Rockefellers and their ilk control the media.
They have half the population wanting to assassinate Obama, and the other half wanting to assassinate Palin (metaphorically speaking for the most part…).
Most people don’t even realize that there is a man behind the curtain pulling the levers.

"I’m tired of being conflated with ridiculous misinformation and disinformation campaigns whenever I try to point these things out."
And therein lies the heart of the problem. This post starts to address it in going the next obvious step beyond saying that there is conspiracy to talking about what to DO about it.
The most powerful, wealthy, well-connected people in the world did not get that way overnight. In many cases these families have been accumulating wealth and political power for hundreds of years – generation after generation. That much really should not be news to anyone.
Where things get sticky is when we get to the “so what” stage.
Let me give one example. I might say to people that television is the most powerful brainwashing mechanism of all time and that the first step toward mental freedom is to get rid of it. Inevitably they will twist themselves in knots trying to come up with excuses for their continuing addiction to it.
Well, there is still “good stuff” on – like the History Channel, and…, and…, and…, well, and FOOTBALL!
Is anyone walking into their homes, tying them in their chairs, and propping their eyelids open like the protagonist in Clockwork Orange and forcing them to watch the slime from the video?
No, 99.999% of the issues are things that people do not just voluntarily do, but that they demand the “right” to do.
Maybe using the idea that some nefarious influences are gaining from what they do is a better way of motivating them to stop doing it than pointing out how much better off they would be if they did stop. But, the bottom line is that they have to be the ones who choose to stop for themselves, and I have had so little luck convincing people that I don’t consider the actions of the “illuminati” to be the controlling factor at all.

“In what other ways are people starving the beast?”
There are many more ways. Ghosting is one. Using only a fraction of your work capacity is another. Picture three or four doctors sharing the same job: working one week out of four each one. What about garbage collectors, or firemen, or construction workers demanding huge raises or… or go on unlimited strike. Or doing what the Russians have done :just PRETEND to work, but manage to be unproductive. I link that to .. sabotage. Finding all possible ways to avoid paying income tax is yet another. Yes, I believe that sabotage on a grand scale will topple any govmnt. If you think that you are betraying your country by doing so, forget that notion: your country will remain exactly where it is and unchanged, no matter what is done.
I like to say that I keep one foot inside society: the one foot that can drain resources for your own benefit, the other foot outside society to signify no contribution to said society. That should result in a net loss for our masters.
Compensation must come from somewhere: women reap all the benefits; men must manage to “beg, borrow or steal” at least the same amounts of benefits.
Repeating this behavior with enough thousands of men should help tank the system.
Once the economy has collapsed, feminism , like a wild fire, will become extinct, eventually.
Then, when that is done, it will be time to rebuild. See it as some kind of “reload”.
A collapsed economy doesn’t remain long in that state: think of Argentina and Russia, as two examples.

To this day The Rockefeller Foundation is the single largest contributor to NOW and her liberal sister organizations. This is what funds the myriad of satellite offices in cities, towns and college campuses across the nation. Their membership fees alone would never be able to fund their operations. The lease on their prime real estate, within walking distance of the white house alone is thousands, not to mention payroll.
They’re one of the biggest not-for-profit lobbyist groups in Washington DC. When Terry O’Neill and the grrls say they want to see you, you make the time. That’s how laws against men are passed.

I love how the cute people on the Internet say stuff like “manly men should grab guns and start killing” (or the extremely long winded version of it) while hiding under a pseudonym.
Ok, that out:
The beast will starve, though their owners will probably be safe.
I predict a great part of the world looking like Russia. Worst case scenario, of course.
As I’ve seen written before “America Inc., a subsidiary of World Corporations R’ Us”. Recognizing how the money pulls levers and who do gets benefited from this mess isn’t being crazy, is simply putting 1+1 together. But then, people don’t like when you point that their indoctrination is a lie.
Alcuin January 26, 2011 at 17:07
This article reflects the fact that women can be easily manipulated, chiefly through their emotions. It was a stroke of genius when the buggers-that-be decided to engineer society through women rather than men. By making education female-oriented, the sky’s the limit to what they can do.
How many more men, for instance, can they cram into American jails? We all know that if the situation were the reverse, with females in jail at 20-1 or whatever, the feminazis would be screaming to high heaven. Why the complete silence in the femistream media over the injustices done to men?
You’d have to be pretty stupid, or a miseducated woman, to reject conspiracy as the root of all this.

"Some people will ignore this quote and say that conspiracy theories are nothing more than reptilian alien sex fiend delusions promoting female supremacy."
Of course we ignore that quote. It’s impossible since it’s historically and economically inaccurate. Kids were going to school at an early age since the time of Horace Mann, the guy who created the monstrosity of American public schools in the 19th century. Feminism couldn’t have accomplished something that already happened.
Women were taxed before feminism too. Women paid taxes just like men especially when you consider the gamut of taxes like sales taxes and property taxes. The only thing women didn’t pay was income tax since you had to have an income but that only applied to the 50s and even only a certain social strata in the 50s. More important, women aren’t being taxed now. In the “best case” scenario “taxing women” led to a glut of labor halving what men were paid. Thus no new tax money was being collected. It’s really “worse” than that since with women taking up useless, unproductive government jobs and quasi-government jobs. Women aren’t being taxed. They’re being subsidized. If women weren’t being taxed before, then they’re being negative taxed (aka subsidized) now. What happened is the opposite of what Russo claims.
Beyond the known facts why would Nick Rockefeller tell Russo anything? That’s like a movie villain and not a real person. Why would Nick Rockefeller tell Russo about their secret plans knowing that Russo disagrees with such things? That only leaves it’s wrong or it’s disinformation as possibilities.
And what has Russo ever done to fight feminism? Has he spoken out against no fault divorce, what’s happening to boys in schools, fathers rights, etc.? No. All he did was appear on some DVDs. What was his cut from the DVD sales? Must be nice work if you can get it.
These same folks will laugh and criticize the likes of one of the internet’s most famous conspiracy theorist, Henry Makow, as a complete moonbat who hurts the cause of Men’s Rights.
"Yet Henry Makow repeatedly issues the most basic and simplest of challenges for people who think he’s a loon to see how right or wrong he is: Google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies.”"
David Icke and Alex Jones are way more famous than Henry Makow.
When you google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies” there’s a lots of pages of conspiracy theorists repeating, “Google Rockefeller Foundation and Women’s Studies”.
Maybe if Makow focused on issues actually affecting men such as no fault divorce, fathers rights, feminist government programs, paternity fraud, false sexual harassment claims, false rape claims, etc. instead of things like magic rocks, Bohemian Grove satanist orgies, Illuminati pedophiles and sex slaves (which needed to include a link to a photoshopped picture of Dick Cheney’s crotch), moral panics about porn, and falling victim to trolls claiming to be satanists and part of the conspiracy, he wouldn’t be regarded as such a loon and dangerous to the cause of mens rights (and actually interested in the cause of mens rights).

Yes, but back in the 19th century, most kids only went to school until the 5th or 6th grade. Only a few went to school until their late teens.
What feminism did was drive both mom and dad into the workforce, so that kids would have to spend alot more time in schools as well. After the advent of feminism and women in the workforce, kids began to spend almost all of their time away from the influence of both parents for the majority of their school day and after school programs.
To say there is no difference in family dynamics before and after is ludicrous.
"Beyond the known facts why would Nick Rockefeller tell Russo anything? That’s like a movie villain and not a real person. Why would Nick Rockefeller tell Russo about their secret plans knowing that Russo disagrees with such things? That only leaves it’s wrong or it’s disinformation as possibilities."
Purportedly, Rockefeller was trying to recruit Russo, because he admired Russo’s movies. But whatever, you don’t have to believe him.
"David Icke and Alex Jones are way more famous than Henry Makow."
Reading comprehension. I said “One of the most famous…”
"When you google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies” there’s a lots of pages of conspiracy theorists repeating, “Google Rockefeller Foundation and Women’s Studies”.
Now you’re being obtuse and disingenuous.
Gimme a fucking break PMAFT, surely you didn’t miss all the links showing the Rockefeller fundings and grants to women’s studies programs all over the country? Nah…you’re just ignoring that to stick to your narrative.
http://www.umich.edu/~womenstd/background.htm
In 1970, seventeen courses in Women’s Studies were taught in American colleges and universities. Ten years later, there were at least 350 programs and 20,000 courses (Stimpson & Cobb, 1986). By 1986, 503 programs were recorded by the National Women’s Studies Association (Academe, July-August, 1989). Increasing numbers of universities are making tenure-track appointments in Women’s Studies; in 1988-89 alone, more than two dozen universities advertised tenure-track appointments in Women’s Studies (Beck, 1989)…
…this volume of research and publication in Women’s Studies has been supported by foundations and federal agencies. In the past few years, at least two major sources of funding of dissertation research have been specifically designated for Women’s Studies (Woodrow Wilson Women’s Research Grants; American Association of University Women). The National Science Foundation, Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Russell Sage Foundation, National Institute of Education, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Institute of Mental Health, and other agencies have given both support and visibility to research on women’s studies.
Oh here…Rockefeller foundation funding of the Women’s Studies programs at my alum, the University of Hawaii:
http://www.h-net.org/announce/show.cgi?ID=131335
Oh, and here, we have a listing of grants and scholarships for women’s studies programs at FSU: http://www.fsu.edu/~womenst/grantschol.htm
Oh look…here’s a founder of the women’s studies program at MIT, who received a fellowship from the Rockefeller Foundation to help start up the program. http://www.mit.edu/~womens-studies/people/perry.html
Why look what the Worlwide Organization of Women’s Studies says about the Rockefeller foundation: “This is a very important funder, with a very important website”
Or how about searching for women’s studies on the Rockefeller Foundation.org website? http://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/search/?q=Women%27s+studies. It returns 85 results.
That’s just the first two pages of links from Makow’s suggested search terms. Need I go on, or are you going to keep denying the truth of the matter that Makow exposed here?
So PMAFT, are you going to continue to ignore the basic facts? Are you going to say that all of this money that the Rockefeller Foundation has poured into women’s studies programs for over 50 years is meaningless? Amounts to nothing?
You say Russo’s account of Nick Rockefeller is unbelievable…
…yet there it is, plain for all to see: the Rockefeller Foundation is most certainly one of the biggest funders of feminist academic programs in the world.
Yet the only thing you can say to this is:
“When you google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies” there’s a lots of pages of conspiracy theorists repeating, “Google Rockefeller Foundation and Women’s Studies”.
It’s one thing to disagree with someone and present facts and evidence to back up your assertions.
It’s quite another to be so contemptibly disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

HL,
Good work. It’s like trying to tell a neo-con muslims are responsible for developing algebra and trigonometry. Bahh that was Galelio and Newton they say, or they will fall back in time to Euclid and Pythagoreas. Anything to hold onto the delusion of dirty backward ragheads.

"Yes, but back in the 19th century, most kids only went to school until the 5th or 6th grade. Only a few went to school until their late teens."
Which means that kids were going to school from an “early age” long before feminism even if they didn’t stay as long. Even by 1950 the only reason a kid didn’t finish high school was if they dropped out. So feminism had nothing to do with putting kids in school.
It also had nothing to do with “taxing women” but you ignored that.
"Purportedly, Rockefeller was trying to recruit Russo, because he admired Russo’s movies. But whatever, you don’t have to believe him. Just because you speculate that this account is unbelievable doesn’t mean your speculation is factual."
Street gangs have better recruitment procedures than that. Given that Russo’s politics were obvious by the point he was being “recruited”, it would have been stupid to try and recruit him.
I’m not claiming Russo’s story is just unbelievable. I’m claiming it’s impossible for all the reasons I gave plus: Nick Rockefeller doesn’t exist.
"Reading comprehension. I said “One of the most famous…”
Missed the point.
"Gimme a break PMAFT, surely you didn’t miss all the links showing the Rockefeller fundings and grants to women’s studies programs all over the country? Nah…you’re just ignoring the facts to stick to your narrative.
http://www.umich.edu/~womenstd/background.htm"
Yeah my narrative is that some grants and fellowships in a massive sea of grants and fellowships don’t constitute funding of a movement especially when every time they’re listed as one of many private groups and government agencies. That hardly constitutes the “majority” funding much less all.
I could google any number of foundations or government agencies and “womens studies” and get a bunch of links too only without the conspiracy theorists. Why am I supposed to believe that the Rockefellers are so special? The Rockefeller Foundation seems to be a bunch of leftists so supporting feminism is something leftists do out of ideology. There’s nothing special about that. They have lots of fellowships and grants for non-feminist leftist nonsense too and it seems that dwarfs anything for feminism.
I can think of any number of private groups which provide grants, scholarships, and fellowships all over the place for various academic disciplines. No one accuses them of a conspiracy if they appear a lot in a google search.
"You say Russo’s account of Nick Rockefeller is unbelievable…
And impossible.
It’s one thing to disagree with someone and present facts and evidence to back up your assertions.
It’s quite another to be so contemptibly disingenuous and intellectually dishonest."
No what’s intellectually dishonest is making a person up like Russo did. There is no Nick Rockefeller. There is no one with the name, “Nick Rockefeller”, anywhere in the Rockefeller family. Rockefeller is a common enough name that there may be a “Nick Rockefeller” somewhere but if there is he’s not a part of Rockefeller family that we’re talking about. Since Nick Rockefeller doesn’t exist, Russo is either a fool or a fraud. Either Russo got trolled like Makow has, or more likely Russo made it up. One way or another everything Russo said is a lie.

Sigh. Wikipedia, the one true source of truthful truth, and nothing but. Seems, hoho, the guy was deleted, just like this: http://deletionpedia.dbatley.com/w/index.php?title=Nicholas_Rockefeller_%28deleted_18_Aug_2008_at_08:08%29
It’s sad to observe when people just can’t seem to be able to connect the dots. And in the age of Internet there’s no excuse not to try, at least.
I’m with HL, leaving Plato’s cave and seeing things for what they are is a tough experience since most people simply lack the mental capacity to do the same and will inevitably hate you for the cognitive dissonance you’re giving them. Globalman and others here willing to pierce other shields of ignorance get mostly the same reaction.
I’m not going to argue, just present two people for you to do your own research and judging: Please read about Ezra Pound and his Protegee Eustace Mullins. There’s many great (underground) books & videos out there. And the second is, listen to the famous speech of Benjamin Freedman of 1961. Or, you can just go on fighting windmills. That’s fun, too.

2 seconds worth of googling turns up all kinds of info on Nicholas Rockefeller:
Nicholas Rockefeller
His securities practice includes litigation before the United States Supreme Court and a number of his transactions have been featured in leading periodicals. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the International Insitutute of Strategic Studies, the Advisory Board of RAND, the Pacific Council on International Policy, the Committee on Foreign Relations in Los Angeles, the Western Justice Center, and has served as a participant in the World Economic Forum and the Aspen Institute. He is a member of the Board of Visitors of the Law Schools of the University of Oregon and Pepperdine University and is active in the affairs of his alma mater, Yale University. He recently chaired a panel at the United Nations on E-Commerce and is a co-author of “Economic Strategy and National Security”.
It’s like you NEED to try and discredit or misdirect any attention given to the likes of the Rockefellers.

The best term for it is “monopoly capitalism” which of course can be distinguished by winning the market by curtailing the competition. What most people have in mind as positive is competitive capitalism. Contrary to popular belief, Adam Smith was very wary of the threat of monopoly capitalism as is obvious to those who read his works as opposed to being misquoted in a text book produced by a monopoly capitalist publishing house. Adam Smith was certainly concerned with government encroachment but made it quite clear that it was a symptom of the monopoly capitalist behind the policy.
I suspect feminism is a population control device that came from the Malthusian thought that was certainly circulating around the “elites” before the 20th century.

A very informative and intelligent article! I don’t know how effective “starving the beast” strategies are going to be, since the bankers (and their allied politicians and mediacrats) have unlimited access to the Federal Reserve which creates “money” out of air simply by electronic depositing and lending to member banks, but their is a mass-movement in our society to end the Fed, and establish sound and honest money in our economy. The central bank (and its fraudulent and specious ‘notes’) serves as their own private piggybank–at OUR expense!!
Indeed, one of the main differences between a sound-money production and saving based economy and a corrupt corporatist kleptocracy–like ours–is precisely that in a FREE MARKET, the only way to acquire wealth is to create it, exchange for it, or receive it as a voluntarily offered gift! The primary, if not the only, way wealth is acquired in this UNFREE MARKET is the issuing and relentless pyramiding of debt, piled on debt, and piled upon more debt! Production and exchange are ever more irrelevant as the increased debt is simply entered into new deposits for outgoing “loans” which can never really be repaid! I don’t have to repeat to any readers where food stamps, housing vouchers, “child-support” payments, Medicaid payments, etc figure in all this!
Extended discussion is beyond the scope of this website, but you can learn more from http://www.dailypaul.com, campaign4liberty.org, http://www.LewRockwell.com, and the website of Congressman Ron Paul -TX(14CD). People who inform themselves about the Federal Reserve will also have the satisfaction of seeing a great many people in that movement whose beliefs and opinions regarding feminism and its attendent welfare State often strongly coincide with their own here on the-Spearhead.com.
While restoring sound money and sound families are very different issues, and require expertise, or at least strong familiarity in alatogether different disciplines, I think that we each have a great deal to learn from each other, and many ways to help each other!
All in all, wonderful food for thought! Thank you, Hawaii Libertarian!
PEACE AND FREEDOM! David K. Meller
