UDavid Rockefeller ngexesha lentlanganiso malunga no-1981 eTokyo, eJapan.UDavid Hume Kennerly / Getty Izithombe UDavid Rockefeller ubhubhe ngoMvulo, eneminyaka eyi-101. Wayengumzukulwana wokugqibela osindayo wengqokelela yeoyile, uJohn D. Rockefeller, uSr. Wazalelwa kubutyebi obuninzi kunye nokuzonwabisa — wakhulela kwelona ziko likhulu labucala kwisiXeko saseNew York — URockefeller naye ifa njengelifa losapho oludumileyo lokuhlonitshwa. INew York Times Uqikelela ukuba, apha ebomini bakhe, wanikela nge-900 yezigidi zeedola kwisisa.
URockefeller wayeyinxalenye yohlobo oluphelayo nolungasekhoyo lwamadoda-Indoda yokuSekwa. Amadoda azimiseleyo kwaye anesidima, azelwe kakuhle kwaye aphuma kwi-East Coast elite, ashiye i-Ivy League eyokusebenzela abanye abantu. Baqala iziseko, bakhonza kwiibhodi, bakha izakhiwo ezinde, baqokelela ubugcisa, bagcina indalo kwaye bakhuthaza inkcubeko ephezulu.
Nangona kunjalo konke kwenziwa ngumoya wokuzola. URockefeller wayeyindoda ehloniphekileyo eyayineempawu ezintle zeYankee zokuzonwabisa kunye nokusebenza kanzima. Kuma-90 akhe, wayeza kusebenza e-ofisini yakhe, ngokwendalo, eRockefeller Centre, isakhiwo esakhiwe nguyise ngexesha loxinzelelo.
UDavid Rockefeller wayengumbonisi owalayo ukwamkela iindibano zebhanki. Ngama-1970, njengosihlalo weChase Manhattan, uRockefeller wakhokela iqhinga elomeleleyo lokwandiswa kwamazwe. Wayehamba umhlaba wonke kwaye waba ngunozakuzaku we-capitalist yohlobo lwaseMelika. Ngo-1973, wakwazi ukuvula iofisi yesebe eSoviet Union.
Xa uRockefeller wayehamba, wamkelwa njengentloko yelizwe. I-Rolodex yakhe eyindumasi yayinkulu kakhulu, yayifuna iofisi eyeyayo. Bobabini uMongameli uCarter noNixon banike uRockefeller isikhundla sikaNobhala Wezemali. Wajika nganye nganye.
Kumashumi eminyaka, uDavid nabantakwabo abane babedume ngokubalaseleyo kubomi baseMelika. (Udade wabo oyedwa, u-Abby, owaziwa njengo-Babs, wakhetha ukuhlala bucala ngakumbi.)
UJohn D. III, umzalwana omkhulu oneentloni, wabaleka kwicala losapho. UNelson, owayengundaba-mlonyeni kwezopolitiko, wadibana ne-republicanism ephakathi. Wanyulwa amatyeli amane irhuluneli yaseNew York, kwaye kamva wakhonza njengosekela-mongameli kaGerald Ford. I-Winthrop nayo yabamba i-bug yezopolitiko, yathuthela e-Arkansas kwaye yaba yirhuluneli yokuqala ye-GOP ukusukela oko kwakhiwa ngokutsha. U-Laurence, ome njengeyodwa, wayengumngxowankulu ophononongo owathi kamva wanomdla kwi-UFOs.
Ngaphandle kokukhuliswa ngobutyebi obuninzi kunye nelungelo, ukuthozama kunye nokuzibamba kwakuxabiseke ngaphezu kwako konke. Utata wabo, uJohn D. Rockefeller Jr., wayengumKristu ozinikeleyo owafakela ebantwaneni bakhe amaxabiso ePuritan. Abantwana bekulindeleke ukuba banike iipesenti ezilishumi zesibonelelo sabo. Imithandazo yasekuseni yalandelwa kukuzilolonga-uDavid nabantakwabo bahamba ngesiketi esi-5thI-Avenue yomsila ngabaqhubi babo baseIreland kwimoto yombane entsha.
Ngeempelaveki zobuntwana zachithwa kwikhaya losapho ePocantico Hills, kufutshane ne Sleepy Hollow. Iinyanga zichithwe e Eyrie , indlu enamagumbi ali-100 eSeal Harbour. Abazali bakaDavid baziva ukuba iBar Harbour iyadanyaza kwaye iyabukeka.
Emva kweHarvard, uRockefeller waya eLondon School of Economics apho umhlohli wakhe yayinguFriedrich von Hayek. Ngelixa wayeseLondon, uRockefeller waba ngumhlobo kaJohn F. Kennedy, indoda eyayingumfo waseHarvard, wayethandana nodadewabo omncinci kaKennedy, uKathleen. Ke yayiye kwiYunivesithi yaseChicago (eyasekwa ngutatomkhulu wakhe), apho wafumana khona i-Ph.D. kwezoqoqosho.
Kodwa nantsi apho uDavid Rockefeller wayehlukile. Amadoda amaninzi okusekwa ngewajoyine ibhanki yotyalo mali yezihlangu okanye afumana isithuba esithuthuzelayo kwizifundo. URockefeller endaweni yoko uye kwilizwe elingacaciswanga kwezopolitiko zasezidolophini. Waba ngunobhala kwiSodolophu yaseRiphabhlikhi yaseNew York u-Fiorello LaGuardia. Umvuzo wakhe wawungu- $ 1 ngonyaka.
Xa kwaqhambuka iMfazwe Yehlabathi II, uRockefeller wajoyina umkhosi. Usebenze ngobukrelekrele kwezomkhosi eMntla Afrika naseFrance. Ukufika kwakhe eParis, wadla isidlo sasemini kunye noPablo Picasso. Kodwa kwakusemva kwemfazwe, xa uRockefeller wajoyina iChase Bank, eyayisaziwa njengebhanki yosapho, apho uDavid waqala ukushiya uphawu kwihlabathi.
URockefeller ucinezele ibhanki ukuba yandise abathengi bayo kwaye yande kwiimarike zangaphandle kwaye. Kodwa yayingaphezulu komgca ongezantsi awayelandela. URockefeller wayenomdla wovangelo ukuzisa ishishini lasimahla ebantwini.
Igama malunga nokunye ukungaqiniseki kokusekwa kwaye uDavid Rockefeller wayekhona. Waseka iKomishini yeTrilateral. Wayengusihlalo weBhunga lezoBudlelwane baNgaphandle. Ngaphandle kwento onokuyifunda kwiikona ezingenamsebenzi kwi-Intanethi, uRockefeller wayengeyonxalenye yayo nayiphi na iyelenqe leGlobalist. Endaweni yokuba la maqela abe sisiseko sombono we-naïve yokuba oosomashishini behlabathi banokuhlala phantsi benze isivumelwano. Ukucinga ukuba wonke umntu unengqiqo njengoDavid Rockefeller.
Kwiminyaka yethu yokufunda ngokuqhubela phambili, uMnu. Rockefeller wayenyanisile. Kwabaninzi namhlanje, uya kugwetywa ikakhulu kubuhlanga, ubutyebi kunye nesini, phakathi kwezinye izinto.
Okwangoku, andinakuyiphepha imvakalelo yokuba siphulukene nento enkulu kunendoda. Mhlawumbi, into esingayiqondi ngokupheleleyo. Amadoda afana noRockefeller alusebenzela uhlanga ngokuzolileyo nangokungazithembi. Amalungelo akhe, nokuba makhulu kangakanani na, ayesoloko ebonwa njengokuza novakalelo olomeleleyo lomsebenzi. Yinto yokucinga nzulu njengoko uhamba udlula eRockefeller Centre kwaye ubona umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wobhedu weAtlas, iTitan eyayibambe isibhakabhaka phezulu emagxeni ayo.
