Not so long ago, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund president, Stephen Heintz, indicated that it would be moving out of petroleum assets, such as Exxon Mobil, and invest in the "clean, renewable energy" alternates, which will be the world's future. Since the Rockefeller family fortune was founded primarily on the Standard Oil Trust, this announcement seemed to be a sign-certain of the times.
Parenthetically, the Standard Oil Trust came under fire during the anti-trust political movement, which brought the dominating company before the federal court system. Ostensibly to fight monopoly and create competition, the Standard Oil Trust was divided into several "competing" companies. Among these were: Standard Oil Company (NJ), Standard Oil Company (Indiana), Standard Oil Company (Ohio), Standard Oil Company (California), etc. As John D. Rockefeller controlled about 25% of the Standard Oil Trust, now renamed Standard Oil Company, the federal court allocated to him the same percentage in each of the newly created oil companies. These companies were later to become the majority companies in the "Seven Sisters" international oil group.
It was hard to see how such "trust-busting" seriously injured the Rockefeller's petroleum-energy basis of power in the world.
Although one cannot say that the sharp business practices of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. had been dulled by years of "suitable" marriages [witness Nelson Rockefeller's suborning South America and post-WW2 Japan to the Rockefeller juggernaut], there did appear to be a new kind of worldly exploitation cloaked in a combination of international liberalism and beneficent visionary development of foreign regions through government and corporate cooperation. Debt would become the "new petroleum" pumped out by "too big to fail" banks (including Chase Manhattan & Citibank); their victimized governmental partners signed on, got hooked and lost control.
However, could something similar be quietly brewing in the Rockefeller reallocation of financial resources? Could they be eying not only renewable energy resources but fresh water as well? In the future he who has control of fresh water has control of all things that require it to live. Who knows? Maybe a tax on fresh water might help pay for the clean, renewable energy resources the world "community" requires. Who would be better qualified to man the "dictatorship of the world communities" than the Rockefeller family?
