It shouldn't surprise me that the Rockefellers are this EVIL.
Uuuh, their cousins are hateful, conniving, racist, liars, and fake
Church people,
too!

It's a Family Affair: Bush's War for Rockefeller Oil
By Wadi'h Halabi
click here for related stories: Peace/antiwar
Had 9/11 never happened, Bush would have had to invent it.
US imperialism does not use AK-47s. It does not need them. It has
B-1s, F-16s, helicopter
gunships, "smart" bombs and cluster bombs. It has nuclear, chemical
and biological
weapons.
But imperialism is increasingly desperate. The profits of the Fortune
Global 500,
the world's 500 largest corporations, dropped 54 percent in 2001. In
2002, they
fell another 56 percent. Their profit margins on sales dived between
2000 and 2002,
from 4.7 percent to 0.97 percent. Bad debts and corporate bankruptcies
broke records
in Japan and Germany. Even business journals admit that
"overproduction" is slamming
profits. There can be famine, but the capitalists will only see
"overproduction"
if there is not enough paying demand for their productive capacity.
With profits tanking in late 2000, it was no surprise that the Supreme
Court selected
George W. Bush, and that he started beating the drums of war so
loudly. There is
a history. It was not long after the crisis of 1893 that a young US
imperialism
went to war over Cuba, the Philippines and China. It was not long
after the crisis
of 1907 that imperialist powers took the path to World War I. It was
not long after
the crash of 1929 that a desperate Japanese imperialism began its
brutal invasions
of China and Korea, setting the stage for World War II.
Had 9/11 not happened, Bush would have had to invent it. Within weeks,
the US moved
into former Soviet republics. NATO spread into former Warsaw Pact
states. Unions
came under attack. And after threatening war for a year, Bush ordered
the invasion
of Iraq, using specious evidence.
Now there are signs of a rebound for US (and some Japanese)
monopolies. Not a recovery
for workers, not a recovery for the unemployed, not even for smaller
capitalists.
But first quarter 2003 profits rose 33 percent from a year-earlier for
the Business
Week 900, which include the largest US monopolies. Second quarter
profits rose 31
percent. And many of Japan's largest industrial corporations are
showing gains,
or smaller losses.
There are two sources for this rebound. The first is the rapid growth
of China and
Vietnam, states created by socialist revolutions. China's purchases
(imports) from
capitalist countries have been growing at double-digit rates. These
are critically
important to world capitalism drowning in "overproduction." China's
purchases from
Japan were up 50 percent in January-April of this year compared to the
same period
in 2002, and are at the base of Japanese companies' rebound.
Bush's cruise missiles and gunships are the other factor. For one
thing, Wall Street/Washington
has learned that wars "flush" capital into the US from the rest of the
world. Thus,
after the US began bombing Yugoslavia in March 1999, US "net
acquisition of financial
assets from the rest of the world" jumped from $492 billion (at an
annual rate)
in the first quarter of 1999, to $1,109 billion in the second quarter.
Similarly,
the assault on Iraq coincided with US net acquisition of financial
assets rising
from $542 billion (annual rate) in the last quarter of 2002, to $866
billion the
next quarter.
Washington's war talk also brought a sharp rise in oil prices. Oil is
still essential
in modern societies - and monopolized in all aspects (exploration,
production, etc.)
by Wall Street, even when the companies have British or Dutch origins.
The owners of the oil monopolies and Wall Street banks have a profound
interest
in "expensive oil," not cheap oil. "Expensive oil" cheapens labor and
loots smaller
capitalists worldwide. Expensive oil is a direct source of profits for
the oil monopolies.
But in addition, Wall Street grabs most of Mexico's, Angola's, etc.
revenues from
oil sales to service debt.
In Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin identified two
dominant Wall
Street families: the Morgans and Rockefellers. Only one achieved
dominance in both
oil and banking. And only one took great care in marriage and
procreation; the line
of Morgan began to dissipate with J.P. Morgan, Jr.'s death in 1943.
In the pioneering 1957 book, Empire of High Finance, Victor Perlo
provides the necessary
material to see the present-day dominance of one group, the
Rockefellers. Perlo's
1971 column on the Rockefeller agent, Henry Kissinger (reprinted in
the recently
published book, People vs. Profits), refers to the Rockefeller group
as "the most
influential single force in the Wall Street Establishment these days."
The Rockefellers long ago learned to drop to the background and use a
stable of
agents in business and politics. Fore example, George Shultz headed
both Bechtel,
the Rockefeller-affiliated construction company, and the State
Department. As Perlo
showed, every US Secretary of State in the decades after World War II
was tied to
the Rockefellers.
Coinciding with war-induced oil gouging, US energy monopolies' profits
jumped 296
percent in the first quarter of 2003, compared to a year earlier.
ExxonMobil topped
all companies with $7 billion in profits, up 237 percent.
ChevronTexaco recorded
$2.1 billion, up 192 percent.
Citigroup trailed only Exxon in first-quarter profits. J.P. Morgan
Chase - the old
Chase Manhattan that absorbed the Morgan bank three years ago - was
not far behind.
But even more important than the banks' profits is that there was no
significant
increase in the bad debts held by the six US "money-center" banks. (So
where are
the huge bad debts from the massive bankruptcies of Enron, WorldCom
and other stalwarts
of the 1990s bubble? The indications are that Chase and co. pushed
them off onto
pension funds, mutual funds, insurance companies and smaller banks,
both in the
US and abroad.)
ExxonMobil is the combination of the Rockefellers' Standard Oil of New
Jersey and
Standard Oil of NY Chevron is the old Standard Oil of California.
Citigroup is the
old First National City Bank, dominated by the Rockefellers after the
Morgans fell
behind. Chase is the historic flagship of Rockefeller finance.
Now the US proconsul overseeing the destruction of Iraq is Paul
Bremer. Who is he?
The long-time protégé of Henry Kissinger, serving first as Kissinger's
aide in the
Nixon days, then heading Kissinger's consulting business.
And who is winning the contracts in occupied Iraq? Bechtel - the
Rockefeller-dominated
construction company; Halliburton, the Rockefeller-dominated oil-
services (and now
also war-services) corporation. Most recently, Bremer awarded Chase
management of
the new "Trade Bank of Iraq," which the Wall Street Journal described
"as a lucrative
job."
On the night of August 14, power was out in both Baghdad and New York.
Power outages
in Baghdad are common and severe. But what caused the US grid failure?
Many sources
have pointed to Enron's efforts to deregulate the US electricity
market as a factor.
Two weeks before the grid failure, Chase and Citi agreed to pay nearly
$300 million
to settle government charges they helped Enron manipulate its
financial statements
and mislead investors. Chase and Citi "weren't just at the edge of the
Enron deception
but central to it," Fortune reported. And in a remarkable review of
the findings
of the Enron bankruptcy examiner, the Wall Street Journal pronounced
the two banks
"Guilty!" of being the real force behind Enron's machinations. (The
author, Susan
Lee, condemned the US government as "enablers" in the Chase-Citi
debacle.) Enron
of course was a player in California's rolling blackouts, and the
looting of its
treasury. It is evident that the Rockefeller group is seeking to
monopolize the
US electricity market.
Profits of US energy monopolies rose 296 percent in the first quarter.
Profits of
US monopolies as a group rose "just" 33 percent in the same quarter.
And all US
corporate profits rose only 4 percent in the same quarter, according
to the Commerce
Department. That indicates that corporations other than those most
dominated by
the Rockefellers are stagnating, or suffering setbacks. George W. Bush
has served
one family well with the destruction of Iraq.
But the looting of the rest of the world economy, and the growing
"overproduction,"
debt loads and speculation worldwide, increase the likelihood of an
economic heart
attack. The Rockefellers' gains are setting the stage for greater wars
and crises.
On the night of August 14, power was out in both Baghdad and New York.
The immediate
reasons for the two failures differ. But behind both we can see the
hands of one
desperate family, and the decay, the poverty, the bankruptcy of their
entire social
system. It will take the work of the international working class to
make sure the
lights go on and stay on worldwide.

The Rockefeller Connection to Halliburton
I loved your article "Covered in Oil." Here are a few related facts
that you might
be interested in:
In 1936 a Texas construction company, Brown and Root Corp., was almost
bankrupt
and in receivership. At the same time (as broke as they were) they
were also the
biggest single campaign contributor to a rising Texas star, LB
Johnson. LBJ was
elected. Brown and Root got some juicy government contracts, and they
all did "right
well" for themselves.Years later, as a pay-off for LBJ's supporting
his good friend
Nelson Rockefeller's oil war in Southeast Asia (a ploy to force China
into the Rockefeller
hegemony) Rockefeller suggested Brown and Root's monopoly construction
contract
in Vietnam (no bid payment for all construction and the right to sub-
contract anything
they didn't want to do themselves).
After Nixon officially closed the deal between Standard Oil and China,
and China's
Oil began to flow to the United States, we pulled out of Vietnam and
Brown and Root
were folded into a Rockefeller company, Kellogg Corp. (forming
Kellogg, Brown and
Root Corp.) The Rockefellers later put this into the care of one of
their subalterns,
the Bush family, who morphed the corporation into Halliburton,
Kellogg, Brown and
Root Corp. You can check with your stockbroker on this.
Like Korea and Vietnam, Iraq is just another war in the expanding
Rockefeller/Standard
Oil Empire. If one checks the various cabinets of U.S. presidents
since Eisenhower
(who sold out his country to the Rockefellers for 30 pieces of
Phillips Petroleum
stock), one will find that half the players were Rockefeller employees
or former
employees. John Foster Dulles was a former president of the
Rockefeller Foundation,
as was Dean Rusk. During the Vietnam War the casualty reports were
total fiction
made up three weeks before their supposed occurrences (my father's
best friend,
Ray Carlson, was Officer in Charge of Public Information Pentagon
East, Vietnam
during the Nixon administration). The older I get the more I realize
that Orwell's
1984 was not a work of fiction.

Debt-Gorged British Start to Worry That the Party Is Ending
By JULIA WERDIGIER
LONDON -- At one point, Alexis Hall had more than 50 pairs of designer
shoes and
handbags. It never occurred to the 39-year-old media relations
executive from Glasgow
that her £31,500 in debt ($63,000) would be a problem.
"It was so easy to get the loans and the credit that you almost think
the goods
are a gift from the shop," she said. "You don't fully realize that
it's real money
you are spending until you actually sit down and consolidate your
bills and then
it's a shock."
As the United States economy weakens, many Americans are being
overwhelmed by personal
debt, but Britons are even more profligate. For most of the last
decade, consumers
here went on a debt-financed spending spree that made them the most
indebted rich
nation in the world, racking up a record £1.4 trillion in debt ($2.8
trillion) --
more than the country's gross domestic product.
By comparison, personal debt in the United States is $13.8 trillion,
including mortgage
debt, slightly less than the country's $14 trillion G.D.P.
And while the Federal Reserve in Washington has cut interest rates, in
an effort
to loosen lenders' grip on credit, the Bank of England's interest rate
increases
last year are trickling through to mortgages at the very time home
values are dropping
and banks are becoming more reluctant to lend.
Until now, debt has mostly been a good thing for Britain. In the hands
of free-spending
consumers, it fueled economic growth. The government borrowed heavily
in recent
years to invest in infrastructure, health and education, creating a
virtuous cycle:
government spending led to job creation, which led to greater consumer
confidence
and more spending, which, in turn, stimulated growth.
Economists say Britain's relationship to debt is complex, but at its
core is a phenomenon
more akin to recent American history than European trends. As in the
United States,
a decade-long housing boom and strong economic growth bolstered
consumer confidence,
creating a perception of wealth almost unknown in countries like
Germany and Italy.
"Culturally, maybe also because of the defeat in the war, Germans
remain reluctant
to borrow and banks are often state-owned, pushing less for profits
from lending,"
said Alistair Milne, a professor at Cass Business School in London.
Since many younger Britons have never lived through a period of slow
growth, few
now see the need to hold back on borrowing, not to mention saving.
"The general mantra is spend now, think later," said Jason Butler, an
adviser at
Bloomsbury Financial Planning. "It's easier to get a loan or a credit
card these
days than to get a savings product."
The average British adult has 2.8 credit or debit cards, more than any
other country
in Europe. A growing number are borrowing to pay for vacations,
furniture, even
plastic surgery. As a result, Britons are spending more than they
earn, racking
up a household debt-to-income ratio of 1.62 compared with 1.42 in the
United States
and 1.09 in Germany.
To her parent's generation, Ms. Hall said, owing money beyond a
mortgage was "shameful,"
an admission of living beyond one's means. Debt was also more
difficult to get.
That changed in the late 1990s when American lenders, including
Citigroup and CapitalOne,
pushed into the British market with a panoply of new lending products.
Fierce competition
among banks meant potential borrowers were suddenly bombarded with
advertising and
offers for low- or no-interest loans and credit cards.
While Britain's financial regulators watched the explosion of retail
lending from
the sidelines, their counterparts in Germany and France were more
restrictive. As
a result, the British market became the largest and most sophisticated
in Europe.
The growth was also fueled by soaring demand for debt on the back of
rising real
estate prices and relatively low interest rates in the late 1990s and
early 2000s.
Those who did not own a house rushed to join the homeowners watching
their property
triple in value.
The trend on the Continent was the opposite. Home prices in most
European countries
barely moved, mainly because markets were more regulated, there was
more housing
stock and renting was more popular.
Liz Bingham, head of restructuring at Ernst & Young in London, blames
the obsession
with homeownership on Britain's "island mentality": land is seen as a
finite good
and a valuable asset.
"The housing boom automatically made people feel richer than they
actually were
and people went on to use the equity locked up in their property
almost as a bank
account they can dip into every time they want to buy a new car," Ms.
Bingham said.
As the perception of wealth grew, the social stigma around debt
disappeared. Borrowing
became such an accepted part of life that today one in five teenagers
does not consider
being in debt to be a bad thing, a survey by Nationwide Building
Society showed.
Debt levels increased further as it became easier to get loans, and
retailers, like
computer chain PC World, offered both goods and the loans to buy them.
Consumers
happily accepted, thinking that as long as they were deemed
creditworthy, they were
not in danger of defaulting.
Andy Davie is a case in point. Even after he had racked up £70,000 in
personal debt
trying to keep his fruit and vegetable business afloat, credit card
issuers kept
increasing his credit limits.
"You tend to use credit to pay for credit and as far as the banks are
concerned
you are fine," said Mr. Davie, 41.
He was finally forced to declare bankruptcy. Though still painful, the
process made
the prospect of defaulting slightly less daunting.
"Rather than showing up at court you just fill in an online form and
speak to someone
on the phone," said Mark Sands, director of personal insolvency at
KPMG in London.
The ease of the bankruptcy process, the availability of debt, the
property boom
and strong economic growth, lulled consumers into a "false sense of
security that
is now coming to haunt us," said James Falla, a debt adviser at London-
based Thomas
Charles.
"It's all good as long as the economy is doing well, but if that
changes people
will really get caught short," he added.
And things are changing. Growth has already started to slow this year,
and the government
lowered its 2008 forecast to 1.75 percent to 2.25 percent, after 3.1
percent growth
last year.
Home prices are falling, despite a dearth of housing and an influx of
wealthy Middle
Easteners and Russians, especially in London. Last year, housing
foreclosures reached
the highest level since 1999 and are expected to rise still further
this year.
And more than one million homeowners have adjustable-rate mortgages
that are expected
to reset in the next 12 months -- to significantly higher rates.
The prospect of rising costs has already prompted some consumers to
change their
spending habits. The camera retailer Jessops and the fashion store
French Connection
are among retailers feeling the squeeze and reporting lower sales
since the end
of 2007.
But changing spending habits will not be enough to solve the problem
of rising debt
levels, said Mr. Butler, the debt adviser. Consumers will also have to
learn to
save.
According to a survey for the Office of National Statistics, less than
half the
population saves regularly, and more than 39 percent said they would
rather enjoy
a good standard of living today than save for retirement. Ms. Hall
said she was
among that 39 percent. She recently took out new loans, planning to
repay her existing
debt. But she ended up spending the money on more luxury goods
instead.
This year, she published a book about her experiences. She said she
did not expect
the book's proceeds to repay her debts, but it may help the growing
number of people
in similar positions cope with theirs.
