James Corbett – David Rockefeller, Sr., the last surviving member of the so-called “third generation” of the infamous Rockefeller dynasty, died in his sleep on Monday, aged 101.
If we lived in a world where headlines bore any connection to reality, the front pages of newspapers around the world would be informing us that one of history’s richest and most powerful eugenicists, an arch-globalist and committed enemy of humanity, had finally shuffled off this mortal coil.
Sadly, we do not live in such a world.
Instead we get this treacle-covered dreck served up to us by the New York Times: “David Rockefeller, Philanthropist and Head of Chase Manhattan, Dies at 101.”
Or this narcolepsy-inducing nonsense from our friends at PBS: “David Rockefeller, billionaire philanthropist and businessman, dies at 101.”
And the brightly-colored peacock? They omit even to mention that tawdry bit about business: “Billionaire Philanthropist David Rockefeller Dead at 101.”
On the other hand, I can sympathize with their conundrum. It would be impossible to condense such villainy down to a single headline. It would be like announcing the death of Darth Vader, except without the redemptive bit at the end. “Lord Vader, Scourge of the Galaxy, Dies on the Death Star; Ewok Funeral Pyre Dance at Sundown.”
Indeed, where does one begin when attempting to enumerate the evils embodied by this man?
