Want to meet the BIG MONEY, folks? Well, here they are, the amazing ROCKEFELLER BROS! Part of America's Richest Family!!!

Drawn by G. Kell

While David Rockefeller -- power man in the country, the most famous of the brothers is Nelson, who will soon be confirmed as Pres... I mean, Vice President of the United States! Nelson was named after his grandfather (the Senator) and raised and groomed to be a politician. 

"And if I am elected, I'll give everybody an ice cream cone and two aggies!"

He went to college at Dartmouth, where, despite poor grades, he was voted "Most Likely To Succeed."

-- the State Dept. and became a member of the two most powerful groups in the government, the National Security Council and the President's Cabinet...

"I like to think of my position as 'taking care of business!'"

The man whose 1970 "fact-finding" tour of Latin America caused widespread rioting, bombings, street fighting and the destruction of a Rockefeller oil refinery, 9 Rocky-owned supermarkets, and a GM plant, served as the first "Co-ordinator of Inter-American Affairs!"

In 1958, Nelson ran for Governor of New York against Averell Harriman, one of the world's richest men. 

After the election, a well-known foreign president visiting the Rockefeller mansion said:

"The U.S. is the only country in the world that would ask people to choose between a millionaire and a billionaire." 

Rocky replied... 

"Yes, it's a great country... it could only happen here!"

Rocky won, and has been Governor ever since. 

Keeping Nelson in office hasn't been easy -- it has cost the Rockefeller's $27 million since 1962 -- more than has been spent on any of governor. It cost them $7 million for the 1970 campaign alone, 10 times what his opponent had to spend. 

In 1970, Rocky ran for Governor against Arthur Goldberg. In the middle of the campaign, a biography of Goldberg appeared in print, that was a hatchet job of lies aimed at discrediting the former Supreme Court justice. When FBI agents first asked Nelson about the book, he said:

"I had heard of it at the time, but knew nothing about its preparation and financing."

After the FBI found out the book had been financed for $60,000 in laundered money from brother Laurance, Nelson told them...

"Had he told me about it, I would have been totally opposed to it..."

But people weren't about to buy that, so later, Nelson apologized to Goldberg, call it an "oversight..."

"When the project was brought to my attention I should have immediately taken steps to have it stopped as totally alien to the standards I have always tried to observe in my political life... In fact, my memory was bad - I had known about the book, and approved it..."

Rocky spent most of his first term running for President and convincing people to build bomb shelters. After failing to get everyone to build them, he took 8 1/2 million in taxes and built himself one near his capital in Albany. At least he was going to be safe!

"It's got maid service, a swimming pool, sauna, bowling alley, color teevee... I'm gonna survive in style!"

Ever since he was a kid, Rocky has wanted to build the biggest, most beautiful and expensive palace in the world -- and that's what he has built in Albany. Pharaoh Rocky has ordered the most massive building project in Western History -- a 100-acre marble sculpture -- after destroying a huge section of Albany's black community and displacing 9,000 people, Rocky started building his dream in the early 60's. He estimated the cost at $250 million -- so far it has cost New Yorkers over $1 billion, and it's still not finished. 

"What the poor need is a team of slick lawyers like mine to look for tax loopholes!"

During Rocky's reign, he ordered a number of repressive laws. Some, including "Stop & Frisk," "No-Knock" and "No Sock"" were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. But right now in New York a first offender can go to prison for as little as 25 mg. of LSD, five grams of speed or any trace of heroin. Possession of an ounce of grass can draw up to 15 years. Rocky created a special toll-free number for informers, who could earn $1000 for a tip leading to a conviction. 

"Turn in your friends kids! We'll put them in prison, and give you $1,000!"

In September 1971, 2,000 prisoners at Attica State Prison took 30 guards hostage and demanded that Rocky come to the prison to talk over their grievances. Rocky refused to come, sending instead an ultimatum to give up his prison and his hairdos. They refused. 

"...and the prisoners are demanding an end to the fascist, and inhuman living conditions, better food, freedom of religion, amnesty and to meet with you!

They can't pull that shit in my prison! I'll show 'em who's boss!"

Finally, Rocky had had enough! Rocky's army moved in with shotguns, M-16's, snipers, helicopters and tear gas, and killed 43 people, including 10 of the hostages. 

Then there's the more than $2 million in "gifts" to political figures ranging from a Republican chairman convicted of bribery (whose sentence was commuted by Rocky) to Henry Kissinger. Of them, Rocky said:

I like to give gifts, and $100,000 to me is like $10 to other people -- they judge me by their own standards. They're not used to money being used generously!"

Heard enough about Rocky? Well, there's more! The Rockefeller brothers, David, Laurance, John and Nelson are richer than anyone has ever been before -- they control an incredible 20% of U.S. Banking!
