But judge for yourself based on the right information ... And here it is .. Many thanks to James Corbett! Oil!.

From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to a plate of food, from pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area in our everyday modern life that has nothing to do with the petrochemical industry. The oil story is the story of the modern world. Parts of this story are well known: Rockefeller and Standard Oil. the internal combustion engine and the transformation of the global transport, the House of Saudi Arabia and the oil wars in the Middle East. Other parts are more obscure: oil demand and the outbreak of World War I; petrochemical interests behind the modern medicines; the large (oil) money behind the "Green Revolution" and the "Gene Revolution". But that story, told in the right way, starts somewhere unexpected. Not in Pennsylvania with the first commercial drilling and the first large oil revenues, but in the rural interior of the state of New York in the early 19th century. And it does not begin with crude oil or its derivatives, but with a completely different product: 'Snake Oil'. (Snake Oil) Dr. Bill Livingston, a renowned cancer specialist "was the epitome of the traveling snake oil salesman. He was not a doctor, nor a cancer specialist; his real name was not even Livingston. Rather, the "Rock Oil" tonic he had sold a useless mixture of a laxative and petroleum products and it had no effect on cancer of the urban poor he has scammed when selling. He lived the life of a wanderer, always on the run for the last group of people he had cheated and was engaged in increasingly outrageous deceptions to ensure that the past would not catch him. He left his first wife and their six children to begin a second marriage in Canada at the same time he fathered two children with a third wife. He took the name "Livingston" to after he was charged with raping a girl in Cayuga in 1849. When he walked away from his children or simply disappeared for years, he taught his children the tricks of his trade treacherous. He even boasted once about his parenting technique: "I cheat my boys every chance I get. I want to make them sharp." A man of more than 1 meter 80 who naturally looked good what he used to his advantage, under the name 'Big Bill'. Others, less flattering, called him "Devil Bill. But his real name was William Avery Rockefeller, and it was his son John D. Rockefeller, who would go on to set up the Standard Oil monopoly and he became the world's first billionaire. The world of today is the world created the idea of ??'Devil Bill. It is a world that is based on treachery, deceit, and the naivety of an audience that has never seen the parlor tricks that the Rockefellers and their ilk have given the world shape in the last half century. This is the story of the oligarchy. Part 1: the birth of the oligarchy. Titusville, 1857..

A most remarkable man appears out of a train in the middle of this dormant western city Pennsylvania on the banks of Oil Creek Colonel Edwin Drake..

He comes from the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company, and he is here on a mission: to drill oil. Just as "Dr." Bill Drake also not really a Colonel. The title was granted to him by George Bissell and James Townsend, a lawyer and a banker who started the Pennsylvania Rock Oil Company after they discovered that they could distill the naturally occurring Seneca oil in the region of lamp oil or kerosene. Drake is actually an unemployed railroad conductor who managed to talk himself into a job after staying at the same hotel as Bissell year earlier. By calling him Colonel, as is hoped, the respect of the locals can win. The locals anyway thinks he's crazy. Seneca oil there is indeed abundant bubbles up in a ditch and is collected in the creek, but other than a drug or fat for the local sawmill machinery is hardly seen as something valuable. In fact it can cause downright nuisance and salt pollute supplied by Pittburghs' successful salt industries. Yet Drake has a role to play. Find a way to collect enough oil to make the distillation of Seneca oil lamp oil profitable. He tries everything he can think of. The Indians gathered traditionally the oil by damming the creek near a ditch and creamed off the oil. But Drake could collect only six to ten liters of oil per day in this way, even when he makes extra ditches. He tries to dig a shaft, but the groundwater is rapidly flowing into. He was in the summer of 1859 behind. Drake can not think of anything more patience Bissell and Townsend is running out, and most importantly, the company has no more funds. He turns to "Uncle" Billy Smith. A farrier from Pittsburgh who had experience with tapping brine sources using equipment powered by steam. They start drilling through the shale rocks to reach the oil. The work is terribly slow with this coarse material, struggling to get through barely a few meters per day. On August 27, they have drilled 69.5 feet deep, Drake used his last funds, and Bissell and his partners decided to break up this operation. they hit oil on August 28th. But then, on Sunday, August 28th, 1859 Bubbles of oil in the pipeline. Uncle Billy and his son Sam create several buckets of oil. On Monday, the same day that Colonel Drake received his last payment and an order for closure of the operation, they mated began to flow the jet to a water pump and the oil. The first oil was on sale for $ 40 per barrel. Years later interviewed a local newspaper Uncle Billy on the day that she had seen the oil: "I began to drill and at 4:00 pm I saw the oil. I tell Mr. Drake, 'Look there! What do you think of this? "He looked at the pipe and said," What is that? " And I said, 'That's your fortune! " Drake has proven that by drilling them, the oil in abundance can be found and can be inexpensively produced. In one night a new industry was born. It was not long before in millions of homes, farms and factories around the world, lamps would be lit with kerosene refined from Western Pennsylvania's crude oil. Then it came out that oil Drake had managed to save, the cry went through all the villages of Western Pennsylvania: "Those crazy Yankee has beaten oil! Those crazy Yankee has beaten oil!" And it was the first big success. It was like the gold rush. That night the quiet agricultural interior in rural Pennsylvania were transformed into a bustling oil region with "gold diggers" who rented lands, towns rose up out of nowhere, and a forest of rigs covered the country. The first oil success was arrived. Quite ready to make the most of this success was a young expectant bookkeeper in Cleveland with a knack for numbers: John Davison Rockefeller. He had two goals in life: to make a hundred thousand dollars and 100 years old. John D. began to make his fortune in the late 1850's, armed with 1000 dollars borrowed from his father 'Devil Bill. Grandfather never finished high school and went to have borrowed to Cleveland after thousand dollars from his father to start a business and paid and then 9% interest, understandably And he read about the oil industry, which had only just begun and became interested, and came to the realization that it is very valuable business at that time. In 1863, at the sight of the oil-success and the taste of the profits that could be made in the young company, Rockefeller teamed up with fellow businessman Maurice B. Clark and Samuel Andrews, a chemist who had built an oil refinery, but they knew little about the company and how to get his product to market. Two years later, the wily John D. bought his partners out for $ 72,500 and with Andrews as a partner, he launched Rockefeller & Andrews. In 1870, after five years of strategic alliances and mergers, Rockefeller Standard Oil had bought. The story of the rise of Standard Oil is often told. In a move that would change the US economy, Rockefeller had replaced the world by independent oilmen by a giant company that he controlled. In 1870, he begged the banks to provide more loans, and formed Standard Oil of Ohio. The following year, he continued silently up what he called "our plan" - are action to dominate the volatile oil industry with a devastating effect. Rockefeller knew that could bring the refinery with the lowest transportation costs rivals to their knees. He was a secret partnership with the railways, called the South Improvement Company. In exchange for large, regular shipments, insured Rockefeller and his allies of transport rates which are much lower than those of their competitors bewildered. In 1879, when Rockefeller was forty, he has 90 percent of the oil refineries in the world under control. In a few years time he will be 90% of the sales of oil in their hands and a third of all oil wells. So this very young man possesses not only a national but an international monopoly on a product that is about to become the most important strategic commodity in the world economy. In the 1880s the US oil industry Standard Oil Company. And Standard Oil was John D. Rockefeller. But it was not long until a handful of equally ambitious families (of good family) started Standard Oil success formula to match in other parts of the world. One of these competitors came from the Caucasus in 1870-ies. where imperial Russia had opened most of the oil resources of the Caspian Sea for private development. Two families soon joined forces to prevail at this opportunity The Nobels, headed by Ludwig Nobel and his (dynamic "price designer) brother Alfred and the French branch of the famous Rothschild banking family, led by Alphonse Rothschild. In 1891 contracts were the Rothschilds M. Samuel & Co., a shipping company in the Far East with headquarters in London, which is run by Marcus Samuel, to do what had never happened before. Shipping their Caspian oil delivered by Nobel through the Suez Canal to the East Asian markets. The project was huge. it was not only advanced technology to build the first oil tankers that are approved by the Suez Canal Company, but also the strictest secrecy. If the rumor about this attempt would return to Rockefeller through its international intelligence network would be at risk they rage Standard Oil would get over himself, who could afford to reduce rates and pushing them out of the market. Eventually they succeeded, and the first bulk tanker, the Murex, sailed through the Suez Canal in 1892 en route to Thailand. was in 1897, "Mr. Samuel & Co. "The Shell Transport and Trading Company. Realizing that the dependence of the Rothschild / Nobel Caspian oil industry, the company was vulnerable to supply disruptions, Shell began to the Far East to look for other sources of oil. In Borneo they ran against Royal Dutch Petroleum on, established in The Hague in 1890, with the support of King William III of the Netherlands to develop oil reserves in the Dutch East Indies. The two companies, who feared competition from Standard Oil merged in 1903 in the Asiatic Petroleum Company, by joint management with the French Rothschilds, and in 1907 it was Royal Dutch Shell. Another global rival to the Standard Oil throne emerged in Iran in the early 20th century. In 1901 negotiated millionaire socialite William Knox D'arcy an incredible concession by the king of Persia: exclusive rights to prospect for oil in most of the country for 60 years. After 7 years of futile quest were D'Arcy and his partner from Glasgow, Burmah Oil ready to leave the country altogether. Beginning in May 1908, they sent a telegram to their geologist and told him to lay off his staff, to dismantle its equipment and return home..

He defied the order and weeks later he hit oil. Burmah Oil quickly split from the British-Persian oil company to devote himself to the production of Persian oil. The British government a majority of 51% of the shares of the company acquired in 1914 by order of Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, and survives today as the day BP. The Rothschilds and Nobels. The Dutch royal family. The Rockefellers..

These early titans of the oil industry and their business 'shells' were the pioneers of a new model for collecting and expanding fortunes as hitherto unheard of. They are the descendants of a new oligarchy, one that is built around oil and its control. From wellbore to pump. But it was not just about money. The monopolization of the main energy source of the twentieth century helps the oligarchs not only the assurance of wealth, but power; about the lives of billions. Billions that were dependent on black gold for providing every aspect of daily life. However, at the end of the 19th century it was by no means certain that the oil would be the main source of the 20th century. When the cost of lighting the bulb placed on the new market began to destroy the market for kerosene the oligarchs were on the verge of losing the value of their monopoly. But some hefty windfalls were about to increase their fortunes even further. The following year after the commercial introduction of the light bulb came another invention beyond that spared the oil industry. German engineer Karl Benz took out a patent on a reliable, two-stroke combustion engine. The engine ran on petrol, another petroleum byproduct, and became the basis for the Benz motor car which, in 1888, the first commercially available automobile in the history. And with that windfall things were true Rockefeller and the other oligarchs had worked for decades to consolidate, secured. But there was more luck needed to assure the market of this new engine. In the early days of the automobile era was not sure there would be gas-powered cars to dominate the market. Working models of electric vehicles had been there since the 1830s, and the first electric car was built in 1884. In 1897 there was a fleet of fully electric taxis that drove around with passengers in London. The world land speed record was achieved with an electric car in 1898. In the early 20th century, electric cars accounted for 28% of the cars in the United States. The electric vehicle has advantages in relation to the internal combustion engine: they do not require acceleration or cranking by hand, they do not suffer from vibration, odor or noise is often associated with cars powered by gasoline's. Lady luck intervened again on January 10, 1901, when prospectors found oil at Spindletop in East Texas. Fountain blew 100,000 barrels per day becoming the next big oil success, providing cheap, plentiful oil for the US market and pushed gas prices. It was not long before the expensive, lower-class electric motors were completely abandoned and large, loud, gas-guzzling engines came to dominate the road. All powered by the black gold that Standard Oil, Shell, Gulf, Texaco, Anglo-Persian and the other oil companies of that time collars, were refined and sold. Maybe John would D's biggest windfall not lead to happiness. Rockefeller came under increasing attention from an indignant public about the untold riches that he had acquired by Standard Oil. Defamation reporters like Ida Tarbell began to rekindle the dirt during his journey to the power rail-plots, secret deals with competitors and other shady practices. The press portrayed him as a colossus with bribed politicians who literally sat in the palm of his hand; Standard Oil was a menacing octopus strangling the lifeblood of the nation with its tentacles. Hearings started investigations were launched lawsuits against it. And then, finally in 1911 Supreme Court takes a monumental decision. On May 15, 1911 stated the Supreme Court of the United States that Standard Oil was a monopoly in control of the trade and should be disbanded. Rockefeller learned of the decision while he was playing golf at Kykuit with a priest of the local Catholic Church, Father JP Lennon. And Rockefeller responded with astonishing self-confidence. He turned to the Catholic priest and said, "Father Lennon, you have some money?" The priest was very surprised by the question and said, "No." And then he said: "Why?" Rockefeller replied: "Buy Standard Oil." As Rockefeller foresaw were separate Standard Oil companies worth more than the entire company. In subsequent years, their share had doubled and tripled in value. By the time the "money rain" was over, Rockefeller had the largest personal fortune in history; nearly two percent of the US economy. And it was really due to the loss of the antitrust case John D. Rockefeller made the first billionaire in history. So Standard Oil was punished in the federal antitrust case, but John D. Rockefeller. Sr. certainly not. To everyone's surprise, the penalty for Rockefeller was in fact his reward. Rather than drive him from the throne, the division of the Standard Oil monopoly has launched him as the world's only approved billionaire at a time when the average annual income in America $ 520. Rockefeller's story was perfectly represented by the story of Colonel Edwin Drake. Oil win in Titusville and thus they raise a billion global industry; Drake had not foreseen that he should patent his drilling technology or even buy the land from its own source. He ended up in poverty, was dependent on the annuity from the State of Pennsylvania for its livelihood to scrape together and he died in 1880. For the oligarchy, the lesson of the success of Rockefeller was clear: How ruthless monopoly pursued, the stronger the control, the greater the desire for power and money, the greater the reward would be at the end. From that moment on there was no more intervention that would deter oil companies from their quest for total control. No competition tolerated. No threat to the oligarchs it was possible to climb on. Part Two: Competition is a sin If you asked how he could justify the betrayal and deceit which he had obtained the Standard Oil monopoly, John D. Rockefeller would have said: "Competition is a sin!" This is the mentality of the monopoly and it is precisely this justification lodged a religious belief, which the oligarchs so ruthlessly drove to eliminate anyone who would dare to stand as pretender to the throne. Ironically, it was precisely the competition among the oligarchs in the early twentieth century led that an external threat emerged for their empire: alcohol fuel. As historian Lyle Cummins said of this period: "The oiltrust fighting between Rockefeller, the Rothschilds, the Nobles and Marcus Samuel Shell kept prices on the move, and motors often had to be adapted to the fuel that was available. " In many areas where the oil was not available, alcohol was the alternative. Ethyl alcohol was used as a fuel for lamps and motors since the beginning of the 19th century. Although it was generally expensive, assured alcohol fuel the stability of supply, and that was appealing and particularly in areas such as London and Paris, who had not predictable access to oil distributors. Alcohol has a lower heat rate -or BTU- than gasoline, but a series of tests of the US Geological Survey and the US Navy in 1907 and 1908 showed that the higher compression ratio of alcohol engines perfect can compensate for a lower calorific value which alcohol and gasoline engines in terms of fuel equivalent. An early supporter of alcohol fuel was Henry Ford who designed the Model T turned on both alcohol and gasoline. He saw an opportunity for new markets to stimulate the independent American companies that he felt they were vital for the nation, Henry Ford told the New York Times: The fuel of the future will come from fruit like those from sumach that grows along the roads, or from apples, weeds, sawdust - almost anything. There is fuel in each bit to find vegetable material that can ferment. " Farmers were looking for a way to pull out of this benefit. They lobbied for repeal of the tax of $ 2.08 per gallon of alcohol was imposed in order to contribute to the cost of the Civil War. They were helped by those who saw fuel alcohol as a way to break the monopoly of the oligarchs. " In support of a bill to repeal the alcohol tax, President Teddy Roosevelt told the US Congress in 1906: "The Standard Oil Company has largely destroyed by unfair or illegal methods, the home competition. It is highly desirable to be introduced an element of competition over the passage of a part of this law as recently passed in the House. and that alcohol for use in the development and production will be placed on the free list. " The alcohol tax was repealed in 1906 and for a time was corn ethanol by 14 cents per liter cheaper than gasoline by 22 cents per gallon. The promise of cheap, non-patentable, not to monopolize production of fuels production which was open to anyone with raw plant material and a distillation device, spread across the country. But cheap and abundant fuel which can grow locally and can be produced independently is not what did the oligarchs in their heads. A USGS report from 1909 that gas and alcohol engines likened had observed that an important advantage in alcohol fuels was that there were fewer restrictions on alcohol engines. For the oligarchs, the answer was simple: find a way to put more restrictions on alcohol engines. Fortunately for them was the answer to their problem through the support of the population. In the 19th century, America had a drinking problem. In 1830, the average American drank from the 15th year seven barrels of pure alcohol per year, three times more than the average today. This led to the first anti-alcohol movement in 1830 - 1840 and the creation of the Prohibition Party in 1869 and Christian Temperance Union Women's Association in the 1870s. This movement gained widespread and growing support but knew only a few political successes; Maine flirted with a ban prohibiting the sale and manufacture of liquor in 1851, but the ban lasted only five years. This changed with the creation of the Anti-Saloon covenant in the hometown of Standard Oil of Ohio in 1893. The ASL was founded by John D. Rockefeller's personal old friend Howard Hyde Russell and was partly funded by generous annual donations of Rockefeller himself. ASL was with Rockefeller's support, soon became the driving force behind a national movement to ban the production and sale of alcohol. Rockefeller himself was a teetotaler, not from moral considerations, but because he was afraid that "this good atmosphere among friends" would lead to the collapse of his business. Stephen Harkness, one of the limited partner investors in Standard Oil and director of the company until his death, joined Rockefeller in sight when he made a fortune by buying whiskey in advance of the new excise duties were introduced which he was tipped off and he sold it at a huge profit after taxes were introduced. No, Rockefeller and Standard Oil were not concerned about the moral state of the nation Except if it were their own interests. But when the ban came in 1920, it had an important side effect: even though the use of ethanol as fuel was not directly forbidden, it led to increasingly heavier restrictions those of the early producers to add their petroleum products to ethanol in order to make it toxic before it could be sold. Alcohol fuel was now no longer in a position to compete with gasoline, and was completely released from the car industry. Another existential threat to the great fortunes of the early oligarchs was that we needed an even greater commitment to new social developments: Public transport..

At the end of the First World War was the private property of a car relative still an exception. Only one in ten Americans owned a car. The railway was still the most common means of transport for the majority of the population, and the dwellers in the capital were using trolley networks to transport them through the city. In 1946, General Motors was a leader 'National City Lines' with Firestone tires and Standard Oil of California to carry out a process of "replacement" means the demolition of trams and dismantling the railways to GM on Standard Oil diesel drive to replace them with their own buses. The plan was remarkably successful. As historian and researcher F. William Engdahl noted in "Myths, Lies and Oil Wars": By the end of the 40s GM had more than 100 municipal electric transit systems purchased and scraped together in 45 cities. And called it GM gas buses instead. In 1955 almost 90% of the electric tram lines in the United States had been removed or otherwise disappeared. The cartel was careful to conceal their involvement in the National City Lines, but it was revealed publicly in 1946 by an enterprising retired naval lieutenant Edwin J. Quinby. He wrote a manifesto revealing what he called "a careful, deliberate campaign to get you to extort the most important and valuable public utilities Your electric rail system. He discovered the shareholding of the oligarchs in the National City Lines and its subsidiaries and set out in detail how they had bought it step by step and had destroyed public transport lines Baltimore, Los Angeles, St. Louis and other major capitals. Quinby's warning caught the attention of federal prosecutors and National City Lines was indicted in 1947 for conspiracy for forming a transport monopoly and conspiracy to monopolize the sale of buses and supplies. In 1949, GM, Firestone, Standard Oil of California and ordered their officers and corporate partners on the second indictment for conspiracy. The penalty for buying and dismantling transport infrastructure American public? A fine of $ 5000..

HC Grossman, who had been the director of Pacific City Lines when he oversaw the demolition of LA's 100 million-dollar Pacific Electric system was fined just $ 1..

As expected, General Motors and its partners did not have to stay long in the doghouse down. In 1953, President Eisenhower nominated Charles Wilson, the then president of General Motors, as Secretary of Defense. Wilson and Francis DuPont with Rockefeller joined DuPont family, as head of administration of the Federal Highways, oversaw one of the largest public works projects in US history: the establishment of the interstate highway system. The excise duty on train tickets that are still the "war era gold and the highways and airports funded by the federal government which made for cheaper alternatives, dropped rail travel with a surprising 84% between 1945 and 1964. These social developments bore fruit for Standard Oil and its growing list of petrochemical associates. In the last 25 years after the outbreak of the Second World War car production approximately tripled in Detroit. 4.5 million cars per year in 1940 to more than 11 million in 1965. As a result, the sales of refined gasoline increased over the same period by 300%. But Rockefeller was not the only oligarch who was to eliminate any opposition to its monopoly. On the other hand the European oligarchs were trying to protect their oil investments at competitive entrants. In 1889, received a consortium of German investors led by Siemens, Deutsche Bank a concession by the Turkish Government for the extension of a railway line that would connect Berlin and Basra on the Persian Gulf through Baghdad which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. The Berlin-Baghdad railway agreement was for 99 years and included my rights for twenty kilometers on either side of the line; a particularly lucrative deal because the trail ran through the heart of the untapped Mesopotamian oil fields located south of Mosul, along the Tigris River. For the forces of the British Empire, worried about the rise of the German army, the deal was unacceptable. Germany, at the end of the 19th century, was looking for outlets for exports - industrial exports - grew for the German economy such as China has grown over the past 30 years, And they decided that Turkey would be an ideal strategic trade partner for Germany. And Georg von Siemens, one of the directors of Deutsche Bank came up with a strategy to build a railway Berlin all the way to Baghdad, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire, Baghdad in Iraq today, near the Persian Gulf. German soldiers began training the Turkish army. German industry began investing in Turkey They did bring a huge market potential and begonnenTurkije in the 20th century, economic. Deutsche Bank has also negotiated my rights - I believe it was 20 kilometers on either side of the track. And it was already known in 1914 that Mosul and other areas contain huge oil reserves. Why is that so important? At the end of the 19th century Jack Fisher is the head of the Admiralty, the head of the Royal Navy- advocated the transformation of the British Navy from coal firing to oil firing. It would be a strategic qualitative improvement in every aspect of the warship design and because England did not know they could have oil at that time, they went to Persia and they informed the shah on, at that time, with the oil rights in Persia, They went to Kuwait and they staged a coup on the Al-Sabah family to make them pawns UK and they literally made a contract with them that nothing could be done by Kuwait outwardly, without the consent of the British Governor. And Kuwait was known that they had oil, located directly on the Persian Gulf. The British looked at the railway map of the Germans would run straight to Baghdad and said, 'My God, you can put soldiers in the carriages and thus threaten the oil lifeline of the British Navy. This is a strategic move by the Germans. It would also make Germany independent of British control of the seas. British oligarchs, including the British crown with its hidden majority interest in Anglo-Persian Oil and the Rothschild merchant Marcus Samuel at Royal Dutch Shell, tried to go against this German threat to their commercial and strategic interests. They used the naturalized British citizen Calouste Gulbenkian was born in Armenia, the architect of the Royal Dutch / Shell merger, for, as he said later, "the British influence to prevail in Turkey '' against the Germans. If that was his job, that was a remarkable success. In 1909, the British, the Turkish National Bank, which were Turkish, but only Turkish name. Founded by the London banker Sir Edward Cassel and with directors such as Hugo Baring family of Barings Bank, Cassel itself and Gulbenkian; the Bank continued the Turkish Petroleum Company in 1912, explicitly configured to use the oil-rich oil fields of Iraq, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Gulbenkian brokered a deal that forced Deutsche Bank, with its 40 kilometers of concessions along the oil-rich Baghdad railway line, in a junior partnership in the company. The stock was split, so that the British Government the Anglo-Persian Oil Company had owned and half of the shares, with Royal Dutch Shell and Deutsche Bank split the other half. Their plan to take over the German-Turkish oil interests proved successful, but ironically it does not even matter. Gulbenkian stopped the negotiations for the Iraqi oil concession on June 28, 1914, the same day that Archduke Ferdinand was shot in Sarajevo. An alliance where the British have years intervened to stop the rising German threat an alliance with France and Russia, began to move and the world was awash with war. By the end of the First World War had taken the British and their allies, Iraq and therefore their stocks. Germany was totally cut off and Gulbenkian their schemers-servant, 5% of all oil revenues in the newly acquired land. As the century progressed, the oil industry has grown over the heads of the handful of families that had dominated since its inception. Oil stocks were located statements have been collected around the world and the resources of every nation to check them. Now ask the threats to the oligarchs and their interests to multi-lateral and multi-national measures and the consequences of those deals are felt worldwide. The story of the 1973 oil crisis as the history books have taught us, is known. In the late sixties trusted the nation on imported oil to strongly hold the economy. But the early seventies came the nightmares of the oil-dependent America from: 13 oil-producing countries in the Middle East and South America formed OPEC, the OPEC. In 1973, OPEC placed an oil embargo on the US and other countries that had supported Israel against the Arab states in the Yom Kippur War. The US economy had hit a downward spiral when gas shortages the nation in their grip. However, few know that the crisis and the response, in fact, months before was prepared during a secret meeting in Sweden in 1973. The meeting was the annual meeting of the Bilderberg Group, a secret cabal formed by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in 1954. The Dutch royal family gave not only their royal seal of Royal Dutch Petroleum, they are still, according to say, along with the Rothschilds one of the largest shareholders in Royal Dutch Shell From that Queen Wilhelmina's Anglo-Dutch Petroleum holdings and other investments its the world's first female billionaire made until today. Bernhard's guest list at the Bilderberg Group reflected its position in the oligarchy; next to him was during the Swedish conference: David Rockefeller of Standard Oil dynasty and his protege Henry Kissinger, Baron Edmond de Rothschild, EC Collado, Vice President of Exxon, Sir Dennis Greenhill, managing director of British Petroleum, and Gerrit A. Wagner, president of Bernhards' own Royal Dutch Shell. At the meeting in Sweden, five months before the oil crisis began was held, planned the oil-igarchs and their political and business allies their response to a monetary crisis that threatened the global dominance of the US dollar. Under the Bretton Woods system, as negotiated in the last days of World War II, the US dollar would be the backbone of the global monetary system, converted into gold at $ 35 an ounce to all other currencies linked to it. Increases in US spending in Vietnam and the decrease in exports was the reason that Germany, France and other countries gold began to demand for their dollars. With the collapse of the official gold reserves of the Federal Reserve and unable to meet demand, Nixon leaving Bretton Woods in August 1971 and threatens the position of the dollar as the world reserve currency. That is why I have asked the Minister of Finance to take action that is necessary to protect the dollar against the speculators. I asked Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold or other reserve assets, excluding amounts and conditions in the interest of monetary stability and in the best interests of the United States. As is clear from leaked documents of the Bilderberg meeting in 1973, the oligarchs have decided to protect their control over the flow of oil to the US domination. Recognizing that OPEC "the global monetary system could disrupt and undermine completely the" Bilderberg participants have prepared "An energy crisis or a rise in energy" which, as predicted, could provide an oil price of 10 to 12 dollars, and that as many as would mean an increase of 400% compared to the current price of $ 3.01 per barrel. Five months later:.

Bilderberg participant and Rockefeller protege Henry Kissinger, acting as Nixon's Secretary of State constructs the Yom Kippur war and thus provoked OPEC's response of: an oil embargo on the US and other countries that supported Israel. On October 16, 1973 OPEC raises prices by 70%. At their December meeting demands and the Shah of Iran received a further price increase to $ 11.65 per barrel, or 400% of the oil before the crisis. When asked by Saudi King Faisal's personal envoy why he had demanded such a bold price increase, he replied: "Tell your king that if he wants to answer this question, then he should go to Washington and ask Henry Kissinger." In the second move in the "operation" Kissinger helped in negotiating a deal with Saudi Arabia. In exchange for US weapons and military protection, the Saudis in the future will carry out all their oil sales in dollars and recycle these dollars by doing their own purchases through the Wall Street banks. The deal was a goldmine for the oligarchs; Not only do they have pushed the price increases to the consumer, but they also benefit from the massive flows of money in their banks. The Shah of Iran parked the income of the National Iranian Oil Company Rockefellers own Chase Bank, revenues reached 14 billion per year in the wake of the oil crisis. With the creation of this new system, the petrodollar, the oligarchs have reached unprecedented levels of control over the economy. Not only that, they had the world monetary system backed with their raw materials: oil, and brought potential competition from pretentious oil-producing countries under their control, all in one step. But the insatiable hunger of this monopoly titans, was even more control over the world monetary system is not enough ... Part 3: The world according to their performance In the nineteenth century, railway conspiracies and dumping prices have been sufficient to ensure the monopoly of the oligarchs. " But by the time the British crown, the Dutch royal family, the Rothschilds and other European oligarchs started with the opening of the Middle East and the Far East for oil production in the early twentieth century, the goal was not to maximize profit or to gain control over the oil industry. It was not even to check international diplomacy. It was in order to control the world itself, and to be formed. The sources. The environment. And the people. To achieve this goal, the oligarchy needed a facelift. In the current century, the Rockefeller name to be associated more with shining Rockefeller Plaza, or Rockefeller University than with Standard Oil, it is difficult to understand how hated John D. was in his own time. He was the head of Standard Oil Hydra, an octopus strangling the world with its tentacles, a murderous gardener pruning its competitors in the flower of its oil monopoly. As one of the richest men in the world should know He was seeking an easy target for the frustration of the ordinary worker "and a magnet for the poor relief. (Judith Sealander, Historian) He received an average of 50 to 60,000 letters per month, to ask for help..

Dozens of people followed him on the street. Literally there was a crowd around Standard Oil firms waiting for him until he came out. You know, little children, painfully thin, crying in the street and so on. Rockefeller felt overwhelmed. Besieged by the oppressed, despised by the working man, hunted by Ida Tarbell and defamatory press, John D. had the mother of all PR issues. The answer was simple :. Develop the PR industry. He hired Ivy Ledbetter Lee, a journalist, later communications expert who invented the modern public relations industry to polish the tarnished name of the Rockefellers. It was Lee's proposal to join the family at the Rockefeller Center and the filming of John D. handing out dimes in public. A young master of public relations, Lee, made use of the media who had used the slanderers to Rockefeller disgrace by changing him into a sympathetic figure. Ivy Lee recognized early on the power of new movies and newsreels used to show a remarkable philanthropic Rockefeller. I am very grateful.

And a large number of people who are so kind and good to me all the time. Why, you're so good for everyone. Yes, you are..

Once Ivy Lee to his public image begins to work, it is strangely a typical American figure. And the people are in some way sympathetic to him in a weird way like Frankenstein is released here in New York City or something; with a stick and a top hat. Although this aircraft never left, this foto'shoot 'was presented as Senior's first flight. Perhaps Ivy was Lee's most brilliant PR stunt or to put Rockefeller as the man who handed out dimes. you do not give money, Mr. Rockefeller? Thank you, sir..

Thank you very much. I consider myself ... And thank you for the trip. I consider myself more than amply paid. Bless you! Bless you! These PR stunts are clearly evident by the standards of today, but they were effective enough: To this day people leave coins behind the tombstone at the base of the meter Egyptian obelisk which over John D's final resting place towers on Cleveland's Lakeview Cemetery. But it was not a staged photo shoots like this one, which Rockefeller transformed into a public hero. To win the audience for himself, he began to give them what they wanted. And what they wanted was not difficult to understand. Money!.

But just as his father had taught him -Duivel Bill'- in his business negotiations; Rockefeller made sure that he always drew the longest straw. He would donate his wealth to the establishment of public institutions, but these institutions would serve the society to bend to his will. Such as any future ruler has realized in history: society must be transformed from the bottom. In the 19th century, Americans still had appreciation for education and intellectual pursuits. the census in 1840, it is not surprising that the United States, a nation that was mobilized by treatises as Thomas Paine's remarkably popular 'Common Sense' a land of 'readers' was a remarkable 93% - 100% literary percentage. For the first compulsory education law in Massachusetts in 1852, education was private and decentralized, and as a result was the classical education, with subjects such as Greek and Latin, and a solid foundation in history and science, widespread. But a country with individuals who could think for themselves, was an abomination for monopolists. The Oligarchs needed masses of obedient workers, an entire class of people whose mind was just enough developed to prepare them for a life of toil in a factory. And suddenly there came John D. Rockefeller with his first major act of public charity: the establishment of the University of Chicago. He was assisted in his task by Frederick Taylor Gates; a Baptist minister that Rockefeller became friends with in 1889, which would continue as John D.'s most trusted adviser charity. Gates would write a short essay, "The Country School of Tomorrow," which Rockefeller's plans for education were explained: "In our dream, we have unlimited opportunities and people will form themselves with perfect docility to our hand The present educational conventions fade from our minds; and -not bothered by tradition- we will impose our own will on a rewarding and well-bred people. We're not trying these people or their children philosophers, learned men or scientists. We will ensure that there are no authors, speakers, stand poets or men of letters. We are not looking for born artists, painters or musicians. Nor we will cherish the more modest ambition to lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen rise, which we already have a large supply now. " While Rockefeller's capabilities were not exactly so limited, they would have been anyway. In 1902 he founded the General Education Board to implement the idea of ??Gates for a 'Country School of Tomorrow' with a staggering donation of 180 million. Rockefeller impact on education was felt almost immediately, and it was further strengthened by the help of other monopolists of the time, which is the subject charity approached from the same viewpoint. Although best known as a steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie's fortune began with the carriage of Rockefeller's Standard Oil in the country, This was greatly enhanced by a lucrative investment in real estate near Oil Creek to steady, profitable oil sales yielded. In 1905 he founded the Carnegie Foundation to promote education, a tax-exempt foundation which Carnegie and persons designated by him could drive the development of the education system in the US, and, eventually world-wide. In 1910, Rockefeller followed with the establishment of the Rockefeller Foundation, what the tax-free umbrella organization was for his philanthropic ambitions. Such as the Reece Committee ', discovered a Congressional investigation into the activities of these tax-free stichtingen- in the 50s: It was not long before 'Carnegies Endowment "approached the Rockefeller Foundation with a proposal: to work together on their common desire to see the education system to form in their own image. Norman Dodd, the director of research for the 'Congress committee' which was granted access to the Carnegie Endowment's board minutes, explains: So they approached the Rockefeller Foundation with a suggestion: to that part of education, which can be considered 'domestic' should be treated by the Rockefeller Foundation, and that portion that can be considered as an international should be handled by the Endowment. And when they decided that the key to the success of these two activities was located in the changing of the lessons of American history. So she approached four of the then most prominent teachers of American history in the country people like Charles and Mary Byrd. Their proposal is to them, "they will change the way they present their subject" and they are rejected flatly. So then they decide that it is necessary for them as they say "their own stable of historians to build. Then they approached the Guggenheim Foundation, which specializes in 'Brotherhoods' and who say, when we meet young men in the study process for doctorates in American History and we feel that they are of good caliber, you want to give them a "fellowship" when we show it? And the answer is 'yes'. So under that condition, they eventually collect 20 and adopt these twenty potential American history teachers to London. And they are informed of what is expected of them, when, and or they adhere to the agreements in accordance with the doctorates they will have earned. That group of twenty historians eventually the nucleus of the American Historical Association. And then, at the end of the twenties, is made a donation through the Endowment to the American Historical Association four hundred thousand dollars for a study of our history in a way that refers to that which our country can look forward to in the future..

And that resulted in a study of seven volumes, books. Study...

The last part thereof is, of course, in essence a summary of such other six. And the essence of the last part is this: the future of this country belongs to collectivism, administered with characteristic American efficiency. This base for transformation is laid firmly. The Rockefeller Foundation and like-minded organizations are so ambitious launched a program it is beyond almost all understanding. They changed to the execution of the medicine. As usual, the oligarchs who financed these changes, including those who benefit from this, John D. and again took the indication of the sample Devil Bill. William Rockefeller had '' called Nujol "as" his brand new oil Snake Oil "and Standard Oil divisional 'Nujol' off as a laxative under their subsidiary Stanco. Manufactured on the same premises as "Flit", an insecticide, also derived from Standard Oil by-products "Nujol" was sold to the drug store for 28 cents per bottle of 175 ml. The Standard Oil took less than 1/5 of a penny to fabricate it. The pharmaceutical industry provided the oligarchs of a new lucrative opportunity, but was at the turn of the century America is still largely based on naturopathy, herbal and it was difficult to sell. The oligarchy went to work to change that. In 1901, John D. Rockefeller founded the Institute for Medical Research. (Institute for medical research). The institute Simon Flexner pulled, a professor of pathology at the University of Pennsylvania, as their director. His brother, Abraham, was a teacher who was contracted by the Carnegie Foundation to write a report about the state of American medical education. His research, the Flexner report, along with the hundreds of millions of dollars that the Rockefeller and Carnegie Foundations invested in medical research for years, has led to a major reform of the US medical system. Naturopathic and Homeopathic medicine, medical care directed to non-patentable, uncontrollable natural remedies and treatments were now dismissed as quackery; only drugs based on allopathic medicine require expensive medical procedures and prolonged hospital stays and had to be taken seriously. The fortune of Carnegie, Morgan and Rockefeller funded surgery, radiation and synthetic drugs. They were going to be the economic foundation of the new medical economy. The acquisition of the medical industry was achieved through the acquisition of the medical schools. The people we are talking about, Rockefeller and Carnegie in particular, came into the picture and said, "We will invest our money." They offered huge amounts of money to the educational institutions that wanted to work with them. The donors said to these institutes, "we will give you all this money, and it would be too much to ask if we appoint some of us with you as directors in your board to see if our money wisely spent? Almost from one day to another received all major universities large grants from these sources and they accepted one, two or three of these people I mentioned in the board and these schools were literally taken over the financial interests that provided the money. What happened as a result is that these schools received an infusion of money; they were able to build new buildings, they were able to purchase expensive equipment for their laboratories, they were able to hire first-class teachers, but at the same time they are turned in the direction of all pharmaceutical drugs. That was the effectiveness of philanthropy. The doctors were from that moment in history taught in pharmaceutical drugs. All major educational institutions in America were captured by the interests of the pharmaceutical industry in this way and it is amazing how little money was actually needed to do this. The oligarchy gave birth to the entire medical industry based on their own research and then sold their own products from the petrochemical companies as the "cure". It was Frank Howard, an executive of Standard Oil of New Jersey, which Alfred Sloan and Charles Kettering would convince to donate their fortune to the cancer center would bear their name. As research director at Sloan Kettering, Cornelius Rhoads Howard pointed to, a pathologist at the Rockefeller Institute, which in wartime was researching mustard gas for the US military to develop a new treatment for cancer. Under Rhoads' leadership was almost the entire program and the staff of the Chemical Warfare Service reform to Sloan Kettering drug development, where she worked on the conversion of mustard gas in chemotherapy. And again, it was sold 'Snake Oil' run Rockefeller as a cure for cancer. The interests of the oligarchs in the rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry came together in companies like IG Farben, a medicinal and chemical knurled, formed in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century. Royal Dutch 'own Prince Bernhard was a member of the board of IG Farben subsidiary in the 30s and the US operation of the cartel which was set up in cooperation with Standard Oil was president Walter Teagle and Paul Warburg, Loeb & Co. the board which was led by the Rothschild family trade by Jacob Schiff. At the peak IG Farben was the largest chemical company in the world and the fourth largest industrial concern in the world, just behind Standard Oil of New Jersey. The company was shut down after the second world war, but like Standard Oil the various parts remained intact. and today remains BASF, a chemical divestitures, the largest chemical company in the world, while Bayer and Sanofi, two of its pharmaceutical splits among the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Not only with the contents of the teaching monopolized the medicine, tensioning the same oligarchic interests together to take control of the US finances. In 1910 met the father of John D. Rockefeller Jr., Senator Nelson Aldrich, Frank Vanderlip of the National City Bank, and Paul Warburg, as well as various agents of JP Morgan, another in complete secrecy on Jekyll Island to work out the details under considerable effort by the Federal Reserve, which was to be the Bank of America. Fed., Founded in 1913, will be led by self-elected representatives of the Oligarchy and their banking associates including, probably inevitable, Standard Oil and US president IG director Walter Teagle. The Rockefeller family would continue to formally enter the banking field in the '50s, when James Stillman Rockefeller, grandson of John D.'s brother, was appointed director of the National City Bank. Meanwhile, John was D.'s grandson, David Rockefeller, Chase Manhattan Bank take over, has long been the banking partner of the Standard Oil empire With this action the Rockefellers reflected perfectly the story from that of their fellow oligarchs; the Rothschilds. While banking fortune of the Rothschilds had completed their oil interests, the Rockefellers had completed their oil fortune with banking interests. With a springboard from success to success because they were able to consolidate their monopoly in every sphere of human activity, the ambitions of the oligarchs were even greater. This time their goal was to strengthen the control over the food supply of the world itself. and again they would use philanthropy as a cover for their business acquisition. The Green Revolution began in 1943 when plant geneticist Norman Borlaug and his team of researchers had arrived on Mexican soil. His goal was to improve agricultural techniques and biotechnological methods which would in turn reduce hunger and improving the quality of life in developing countries. With the creation of new genetically modified strains of wheat, rice, maize and other crops, was Borlaug's going to win the fight against hunger in the world. The hope was that this new crops and farming techniques could save the third world countries on the brink of starvation. That's exactly what happened. The agricultural innovations for poor countries, farmers gave up the skills and resources needed to sustain itself. This led to a series of events that make it possible for these countries once struggling to survive. Agricultural exports rose in volume and diversity, the countries gave the opportunity to become self-sufficient. Once GM crops began to flourish, farmers were able to use their higher earnings to buy new and improved agricultural machinery. This increase made it simpler, more reliable and more efficient for farmers. The Green Revolution has led to the modernization of agriculture and has had a profound social, economic and political impact on the world. The Mexican government turned to the Rockefeller Foundation in their efforts to educate Mexico through agriculture. Norman Borlaug, of course, was a researcher for the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Green Revolution -no matter the increase in revenue- also created markets for their own interests of the oligarchs in the petrochemical fertilizer industry and that led to the creation of the "ABCD" seeds cartel, Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus. These companies, along with additional interests in the food packaging and processing industry, formed the core of the American 'agribusiness' a concept developed at the Harvard Business School in the 1950s with the help of the research conducted by Wassily Leontief for the Rockefeller Foundation. American agribusiness giants had a common goal: the transformation of agriculture in the developing world into a captive market for their goods. Seen from this perspective, this project was a resounding success. By the '70s the Rockefeller Standard Oil network and his cronies in the nitrogen fertilizer industry (including DuPont, Dow Chemical and Hercules Powder) by broken in the market all over the world. The markets have been easy for them broken open with the help of the US government itself, under President Johnson's "Food for Peace" program, which allowed the use of petrochemical-dependent agricultural technologies with the support of beneficiaries. Not being able to afford themselves these technologies, the impoverished trusted third world "beneficiaries" of this "revolution" on loans International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, provided by Rockefellers own Chase Manhattan Bank and guaranteed by the US government. The actual costs of the Green Revolution, economic, agricultural and environmental rarely added. Access to these debt-based-financed petrochemical-dependent technologies worsens the gap between the wealthy landowning class and landless farmers in countries like India, where the land reform and the abolition of usury of the political agenda had been taken after the Green Revolution took over. Even then, the most important success of the revolution -the increase landbouwopbrengsten- is overrated The increase in yield in India is actually slowed after the introduction of the agriculture industry. The destruction of the environment is even more devastating. An overview writes in the December 2000 issue of Current Science: "The green revolution has not only resulted in increased productivity, but it has also produced several negative environmental consequences such as depletion of soils, decrease in soil fertility, soil salinization, soil erosion, environmental degradation, health, poor sustainability of agricultural land and loss of biodiversity. Indiscriminate use of pesticides, irrigation and unbalanced fertilization has threatened the sustainability. " The Rockefeller Foundation even acknowledges the criticism of the Green Revolution which financed this and calls for "keeping current initiatives take into account the lessons learned." But even so, the Foundation continues funding for research and writes reports on improving prospects for investment in the agricultural industry for the intended market. As monstrous as the Green Revolution was, and still is, it was only a prelude to an even more ambitious project. The genetic revolution. Now the project is not only aimed at monopolizing the technology, supplies and chemical inputs for agriculture worldwide, but the monopolization of the food itself. By replacing the world's natural seeds patentable genetically modified crops. The players involved in the "Gene Revolution" are almost identical to the players in the Green Revolution, with IG Farben divestitures Bayer CropScience and BASF Plant Science, mingled with the traditional oligarchy associated companies as Dow Agro Science, DuPont Biotechnology, and -of course- Monsanto, all funded by the Rockefeller Foundation and fellow "philanthropists" at the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and like-minded organizations. The gathering of professional, philanthropic, governmental and inter-governmental interests in promoting GMO crops around the world, is reflected in the astonishing range of research institutes, trade associations, and "advisory groups" who are dedicated to the cause. The International Rice Research Institute funded by Rockefeller (IRRI) Rockefeller / Monsanto / USAID brainchild 'International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) Created the Consultative Group of International Agricultural Research Rockefeller / Ford / World Bank (CGIAR) and dozens of other bland, benign-sounding organizations; research and promotion of GM crops in target markets around the world, and with the profit ends up in the coffers of the oligarchs. " A representative example is the decolonization of the agricultural industry in Argentina, where Monsanto held an extensive mis-selling action to that country addicted to the genetically modified Round Up Ready soybeans, before she went lifting royalties on the crops that have been grown at that time. DuPont then took over, generous with the start of a "Proteins for life" program in order to impose their own GM soybeans to the poor. The same scenario has played in country after country, where are imposed GMO crops developed by the cartel to emerging economies by means of 'food', usually in times of famine when these countries are particularly vulnerable. Only a handful of countries such as Zambia or Angola have outright rejected this COM-over of their food supply. Generosity subsidized by the US government in favor of the agribusiness cartel. Conclusion: the monopolization of life Of strangling pioneers from the early oil industry to cut social engineers and geopolitical intriguers: the oligarchs have come a long way since the days of 'Devil Bill's "medicinal" snake oils ". But by the use of any form of deceit and deception to cheat the people gives information on how John D. and the rest of the oligarchs have built their business interests. As the 20th century drew to a close, it was clear that the powerful cartel which had built the oil industry, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, was the British and Dutch royal family no longer about oil, if that had ever been. The acquisition of education, medicine, the monetary system of the food itself, showed that the aim was much bigger than just an oil monopoly: it was the quest to monopolize all aspects of life; To establish a perfect control over every aspect of society, every sector from which any threat to competition could lead to their power. They were striking, almost unbelievably successful. From oil well to gas pump, from farm to fork, to hospital pharmacist, rig up dollar bill, there was almost no aspect of society that was not under their control. But the oligarchs are still not ready. Their next project, launched at the end of the 20th century, is almost too ambitious to contain. It's not about oil..

It's not about money. It is about the monopolization of life itself. They have decades the path prepared for this acquisition and protecting their baffling means in the service of this task. And the vast majority of the world's population still plays the "shell game" that have perfected the oligarchs and have left long ago, and is about to fall directly into their hands again! Ladies and gentlemen, the fight against climate change is undoubtedly the most decisive and crucial challenge of our time. Even in a world full of daunting threats and crises, it is difficult to imagine anything that poses a greater challenge and opportunity for mankind. The negative impact of population growth on all of our planetary ecosystems is shockingly apparent. That science is unequivocal and that there is a price for carbon in the future. What do you see as the biggest challenges for conservation? The growing human population. We are, nothing else. We will have to spend money quickly, for the solutions we have in hand to help these countries already see the effects climate change today and see the impact of our consumption, basically. David Rothschild, thank you for being here at Bloomberg To be continued.....
