Rockefeller family announce plan to withdraw fossil fuel investments and move into clean energy: But what about their holdings in the “Business with Disease”?

In an unexpected development, the Rockefeller family has announced it is planning to withdraw its philanthropic fund’s fossil fuel investments and move into clean energy instead. Having made one of the world’s largest fortunes through the oil business over the past 140 years or so, they claim they are preparing to slash the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) holdings in fossil fuels to less than one percent of its total portfolio and reinvest in “clean energy technologies and other business strategies that advance energy efficiency”. Towards this goal, a statement published on the RBF website, which oversees almost $900m of investments, describes an intention to divest coal and tar sands assets “as quickly as possible”.

Not surprisingly, therefore, around the internet and in alternative media circles many theories are being advanced regarding suggested ulterior motives for this announcement. These include the possibility that the Rockefellers may be short-selling the energy market; that they could be planning to divert investments into nuclear power, which some so-called “authorities” now absurdly class as being sustainable and renewable; or that moving ahead they intend to retain fossil fuel investments through other asset funds and schemes.

Whatever the truth is, taking into account the history of the Rockefeller family and its well-documented role in the development of the corporate approach to medicine, we expect many people will likely share our reluctance to immediately break out the champagne over this announcement. Significantly therefore, despite the RBF chair, Valerie Rockefeller Wayne, talking about the “moral imperative to preserve a healthy planet” in her media interviews, we note that no similar public commitment has been made towards disposing of the Rockefeller family’s investments in the trillion-dollar-a-year pharmaceutical ‘business with disease’.

The initial drive towards developing an industrialized healthcare system came from John D. Rockefeller, the family’s patriarch and a co-founder of the Standard Oil company. Born in 1839, John D. liked people to think of him as a philanthropist, someone who used his vast wealth for the benefit of mankind. In reality, however, he was arguably one of the most ruthless and determinedly avaricious men in America. As such, with the Rockefeller family currently claiming that, if John D. Rockefeller were alive today, as an astute businessman he would similarly be moving out of fossil fuels and investing in clean, renewable energy, it is difficult to believe they are not modelling their business acumen on that of the very man still seen by many as the greatest robber baron of all time.

All of which causes us to wonder whether John D. Rockefeller’s descendents are now perhaps dreaming of achieving a comparable global control of clean energy technologies to that which he himself once had over the production, transporting, refining and marketing of oil? Whilst only time will tell, we suggest it would take a brave man to bet against this.

Paul Anthony Taylor

Executive Director of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation and one of the coauthors of our explosive book, “The Nazi Roots of the ‘Brussels EU'”, Paul is also our expert on the Codex Alimentarius Commission and has had eye-witness experience, as an official observer delegate, at its meetings.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Paul's background was in the music industry, where he worked as a keyboard player and programmer with artists including Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas, and Primal Scream.

He first became interested in natural health after falling ill with a chronic fatigue syndrome-related disorder in 1991 and subsequently making a full recovery through the use of natural health therapies. After meeting Dr. Rath and Dr. Niedzwiecki at an anti-Codex rally in Berlin in 2002, Paul was inspired to make a life-changing decision to leave the music industry to work for the Foundation and help defend the right of patients worldwide to have free access to natural health approaches.

Der Executive Director der Dr. Rath Health Foundation ist einer der Koautoren des explosiven Buchs „Die Nazi-Wurzeln der Brüsseler EU“. Paul ist auch unser Experte zum Thema „Codex Alimentarius-Kommission“ und hat Augenzeugenerfahrung als offizieller beobachtender Teilnehmer bei diesen Treffen.

Bevor er seine Arbeit bei der Stiftung antrat war Paul in der Musikindustrie aktiv. Er arbeitete als Keyboard-Spieler und Programmierer mit Künstlern wie Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bill Withers, the Verve, Texas und Primal Scream.

Sein Interesse an natürlicher Gesundheit wuchs, als er 1991 an Störungen erkrankte, die aus einem chronischen Erschöpfungssyndrom resultierten. Durch natürliche Gesundheitstherapien wurde er schließlich vollständig geheilt. Ein Treffen 2002 mit Dr. Rath und Dr. Niedzwiecki bei einer Anti-Codex-Demonstration in Berlin inspirierte ihn zu einer lebensverändernden Entscheidung und er verließ die Musikindustrie um für die Stiftung zu arbeiten und das Recht der Patienten zu verteidigen, weltweit freien Zugang zu natürlichen Gesundheitsverfahren zu haben.
