At the dawn of the modern industrial era, there was a man who changed the world. John Davison Rockefeller, who lived for 97 years, built the Standard Oil petroleum empire and became a symbol of industrial capitalism. His business success was undeniable, as was the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1911 to break up his monopoly. Oil has become an engine of economic growth, but also the foundation of a vast petrochemical industry, from which today comes a huge amount of synthetic materials used in plastics, cosmetics, industry, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and even part of the food processing industry.

Recently, I came across an interesting statement by John Davison Rockefeller (1839–1937):

```
"We will shorten their lives and weaken their minds, while pretending to do the opposite. We will cleverly use our scientific and technological knowledge so that they never realize what is happening. We will add soft metals, aging agents, and sedatives to their food, water, and air. Wherever they turn, they will be surrounded by poisons. We promise to find a cure for their minds, only to give them more poison. Chemical poisons will be absorbed through the skin of fools who believe that certain hygiene and cosmetic products, promoted by brilliant actors and musicians, will bring them eternal youth; and through their greedy and hungry mouths, we will destroy even their internal reproductive systems. However, their children will be born deformed and afflicted; we will teach them how to hide these deformities well. Those who seek them out will be useful; they will see that our products are used in movies to demonstrate their true effects. We will inject poisons into their children and convince them that we are helping them; we will direct them towards what they love most - sweets - and fill them with metals that will destroy their minds and cause them other diseases, which we will then 'treat'. Gradually, we will weaken their interest in money and material possessions so that they never connect with their inner selves; we will distract them with lust and external pleasures so that they never connect with the unity of all.
Their minds will belong to us, and they will do what we tell them. If they refuse, we will find ways to introduce technologies that change their thinking and their lives.
We will use fear as a weapon. We will create divisions within their governments and incite opposition. We will control both sides. We will always hide our intentions, but we will continue with our plan. They will do the work for us, and we will prosper from their labor. Our families must never marry into theirs. Our blood must remain pure (because it is). We will force them to kill each other if they stand against us. We will keep them divided by dogma and religion. We will control every aspect of their lives and tell them what and how to think. We will gently guide them and let them believe that they are in control of their own lives. Through our factions among them, we will create animosity. When a light shines among them, we will extinguish it with mockery or death, which suits them best. We will force them to tear out their own hearts and kill their own children. We will achieve this by using hatred as our ally and anger as our friend. Hatred will completely blind them, and they will never realize that we are the ones controlling their conflicts. They will be busy killing. They will bathe in their own blood and kill their neighbors until we consider them our enemies. We will greatly benefit from this because they will not see us. Because they cannot see us. We will continue to prosper thanks to their wars and their deaths. We will repeat this until we achieve our ultimate goal.
We will continue to force them to live in fear and anger; we will feed them images and sounds. To achieve this goal, we will use every tool at our disposal. Their work will provide us with these tools.
We will force them to hate themselves and their neighbors. We will always hide the divine truth from them that we are all one. They must never learn this! They must never learn that the world is an illusion. They must always believe that they are not equal.
Drop by drop, drop by drop, we will approach our goal. We will deprive their country, resources, and wealth so that we can rule over them. We will force them to accept laws that take away the little freedom they have.
We will create a monetary system that will forever imprison them and keep their children in debt. Once we have expelled them all together, we will accuse them of murder and present a different version of the story to the world, because all the media will be in our hands. We will use the media to control the flow of information and their emotions for our benefit.
If they rebel against us, we will crush them like insects, because they are smaller than us. They will not be able to do anything."

Secret operations from the Cold War era that have been declassified over decades revealed that some governments were able to approve projects that the public would absolutely never accept. Therefore, it is correct to demand maximum transparency and independent investigations where there are credible suspicions of illegal activities.

In recent months, I was drawn into attention by the release of additional archival documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Alongside these materials were proofs that a secret CIA operation took place when the CIA poisoned Cuban sugar destined for the Soviet Union. No one reflected on this report. Where are human rights prosecutors and the prosecution offices of international judicial institutions, after all crimes against humanity are imprescriptible!

This opens up a broader question here. How much information remains hidden from the public? How many decisions are made without sufficient direct and public oversight? Here, the state must be entirely open, and society must have opportunities to verify facts and hold accountable those who wield power. Equally justified is discussion about European food policy. In recent years, the European Union has adopted a number of regulations concerning new foods, food additives, product labeling, or support for alternative protein sources. These steps have both supporters and opponents.

Critics point out that some decisions are made under strong industrial influence and that the public often lacks sufficient understandable information about their impacts. Such criticism is legitimate and deserves a substantive discussion. Consumers have the right to know what they buy, what products it is made of, and what its possible benefits and risks are. Transparency must not be an empty slogan; it must be a fundamental principle of modern society. Another worrying phenomenon of today is the growing concentration of economic power. What Standard Oil represented then and still represents in various sectors are multinational corporations with enormous influence on politics, media, and public debate. History shows that monopolistic positions never bring only economic strength but also the ability to shape the rules of the game.

Rockefeller family assets today – a brief overview

The total combined wealth of more than 200 descendants of the Rockefeller family is estimated at $10–15 billion. Assets are held in hundreds of perpetual intergenerational trusts, private investments, minority stakes in corporations, real estate, and traditional philanthropic institutions. The family no longer has any central corporate empire—the original Standard Oil company was split by court order in 1911.



1. Asset management and investment

  • Rockefeller Capital Management (RCM): An elite firm for wealth management and investment banking. The family holds a significant minority stake; the majority ownership was sold to Viking Global Investors in 2020. RCM manages assets worth approximately $151 billion (figure from 2025) on behalf of clients with extremely high net worth, including the Rockefeller family office itself.

    Private family trusts: These tax-protected intergenerational funds hold diversified public equities, bonds, private capital, and funds focused on addressing climate change (such as the Rockefeller Climate Solutions Fund). None of the official family institutions hold shares in fossil fuels; individual descendants may own small personal packages of oil company stocks independently.

    Legacy historical bank holdings: The family holds small passive stakes in JPMorgan Chase and other Wall Street banks, but does not have any controlling positions.



    2. Real Estate

    Rockefeller Center (Midtown Manhattan): The family sold the majority ownership of this complex decades ago, but still retains residual minority rights to the land lease and receives royalties from licensing the brand for this complex of 19 buildings.

    Historic estate Kykuit in Pocantico Hills: This four-generation country estate was donated to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. It is now operated by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund as a cultural center, and the family does not have any private residential ownership on the property.

    Other scattered luxury residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties throughout New York City and the United States, held in separate family trusts.



    3. Philanthropic Institutions (family-controlled, not personal assets)The total value of their grants exceeds $5 billion; family members serve on boards of directors, but cannot draw upon the principal capital for personal purposes:

    Rockefeller Foundation (grants of $6 billion, as of 2026): Provides grants in the areas of global health, climate stability, and food security, founded in 1913.

    Rockefeller Brothers Fund (grants of approximately $1.3–1.4 billion): Divested all holdings in fossil fuels in 2014, focusing on climate justice and sustainable investments.

    David Rockefeller Fund, Rockefeller University: A leading institution for biomedical research, continuously supported by family endowments.



    4. Missing original assets: the oil industryNo official family or foundation structure holds shares in ExxonMobil, Chevron, or other successor companies of Standard Oil. All institutional entities of the family divested from investments in fossil fuels by 2016 at the latest. Only some individual descendants may own negligible personal packages of oil company stocks outside of official family trusts.
