The Continuum

In the time of John D. Rockefeller, Rockefeller's hired goons blew up (destroyed by incendiaries or explosives) competitors' oil refineries. He was defended by attorneys from the Truesdale family (remember that name, it appears later on) who he would aid in owning and reaping wealth from railroad companies, and the Truesdale family would also be involved with Rockefeller's secret and illegal monopoly in shipping his products over rail, etc.

In the present era, David Rockefeller's lackey, stooge and protégé, Peter G. Peterson, through his Rockefeller-financed (original investment) Blackstone Group, the richest private equity/leveraged buyout firm in existence, purchased and then shut down oil refineries to drive up the price of oil (one purchased directly, another indirectly).

Same results, different methods, by the Rockefellers and their lackeys --- a continuum of actions.

In 1960 the Rockefeller family was worth an estimated $30 billion (quite a bit back then), and the 1960s was the decade when offshore tax havens exploded in number, thanks in part to legal architect of many of the earliest offshore tax haves, one Marshall Langer (Bermuda, the Caymans, Barbados, etc., read about his work history and you'll understand the beginnings of such things).

Similarly, Rep. Wright Patman's investigation at that time into foundations and trusts, and how those tax-exempt financial structures were used (and still are) to hide the wealth and ownership of the super-rich, uncovered much interesting and incriminating data on the Rockefellers, Mellons, du Ponts, etc., and a commission was later formed to investigate them.
Unfortunately, Nixon was then in the White House, and the Rockefeller family pressured him to appoint .....you guessed it, Peter G. Peterson to head the commission and steer it away from any construction remedies. The super-rich win again!!!!

Again, a continuum of actions and events.

Just as the historically owned Rockefeller-Morgan bank, JPMorgan Chase, was the creator of various types of mortgage CDOs and the credit default swap (unregulated insurance fraud instrument) so too they created the model of the lousy CDO, then the fraudclosure (fraudulent foreclosure) on various homes with illegal filing of false affidavits in the millions, and cleaning up on the new super-long-term-unemployment by managing the EBT card (footstamp cards) contracts across America.

Much the same way JPMorgan Chase managed the Iraqi Trade Bank oil program revenues, when $8.7 billion went missing, somewhere along the route between the Iraqi Trade Bank, the Coalition Provisional Authority (where Reuben Jeffery III was the top finance guy, appointed by the Bush administration), and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York account (whose chairman was later to be Obama's Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner).

Oh yeah, and the managing director of the JPMorgan Chase program overseeing those funds was one Danial Zelikow, Timothy Geithner's former college roommate and best-friend-forever!

And what became of Reuben Jeffery III, member of the Trilateral Commission, CSIS, among other outfits?

Reuben Jeffery III became the CEO of Rockefeller Financial Services (their former CEO having committed suicide after a particularly sweet deal with Société Générale, which later came under investigation for large-scale money laundering --- wonder what funds they were laundering [recall that missing $8.7 billion in Iraqi oil revenues?]).

And what became of the Truesdale family?

Why, the heir to the Truesdale fortune is one Robert Mueller III, the present director of the FBI, appointed just a few days prior to the attacks of 9/11/01, just as he was appointed to be chief of the Dept. of Justice's Criminal Division, as the investigation into the BCCI Affair came closer and closer to the George H.W. Bush White House.

One continuum . . .
