David Rockefeller dies at 101

[Swordsmyth]

Let’s try very hard to remember David Rockefeller as a “philanthropist”…

David Rockefeller, the famous banker and philanthropist with the family name that controlled Chase Manhattan bank for more than a decade and wielded vast influence around the world in the world of finance, has died on Monday morning at his home in Pocantico Hills, N.Y. He was 101.
His philanthropy was monumental, and so was his art collection, a museumlike repository of some 15,000 pieces, many of them masterpieces, some lining the walls of his offices 56 floors above the streets at Rockefeller Center, to which he repaired, robust and active, well into his 90s.
His father, John D. Rockefeller Jr., the only son of the oil titan, devoted his life to philanthropy.
Besides Nelson, born in 1908, the other children were Abby, who was born in 1903 and died in 1976 after leading a private life; John D. Rockefeller III, who was born in 1906 and immersed himself in philanthropy until his death in an automobile accident in 1978; Laurance, born in 1910, who was an environmentalist and died in 2004; and Winthrop, born in 1912, who was governor of Arkansas and died in 1973.

So the old devil bought some PR. So What.

Meh. We need to focus on and identify his younger gophers and out 'em. Who really cares about this dickhead?

The prick is probably frozen in suspended animation until we have the technology to bring him back to fk up this earth some more.

The only sad thing about this is he didn't dangle from a noose.

Being a philanthropist should be a red flag.

They control the system.

Well the anti-rockefeller medicine video was a mix of truth and BS.

Yes, we disagree with licensing and the AMA, but the idea that Rockefeller led a conspiracy to make us unhealthy is stupid.

Why?

Look at life expectancy between 1900 and 2009. It almost freakin doubled. Thanks in no small part to this medical conspiracy these folks bewail.

Rockefeller - in this area - seems to me to be just a capitalist enterpreneur who saw a promising new technology (pharma) and decided to get in on that game.

It is true that a lot of drugs are pushed that have dubious benefits. What's the solution?

A free market, no govt interference..

I'll add another:

Normalizing relations with Cuba, and other hated and/or despicable regimes, was and remains a wonderful policy. Such a policy has also frequently been in direct contrast with American interests.

As Anti-Federalist alluded to above, please avoid eating chicken McNuggets for a few weeks.

Meh. Fidel Castros death was more enjoyable.

It was the rum.

it's not my preferred style, but much respect to negro music.

They’re vampires – drinking the blood of young (virgins) to prolongue their life. The modern day, “scientific” name for vampirism is parabiosis.
Queen Elizabeth is a descendant of Count Dracula (Vlad the Impaler): http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...he-elections&p=6389449&viewfull=1#post6389449

I have started an investigation on how the Red Cross provides the rich vampires with blood, but don’t have the time to start a thread on that one...

Don't worry; I'm sure there's someone to take his place.

Problem is Rockefller family line goes on.. and most of them are influenced by the greed and power hunger.

There's an interesting question: who's the head of the Rockefeller family now?

It's nice how the right person dying can bring us all together...

Not sure... they probably bred like freakin' rats.
