Rockefeller: Naah, this guy doesn’t look scary!
In 1927, as Germany’s Nazi party was beginning to rise-up, the Rockefeller Institute helped fund the opening of the Berlin based Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics. The Institute was a bit like TIDES Canada- they mixed high level people in government & industry with well connected lobbyists who were furthering what they believed to be a good cause- strange bedfellows.
There’s nothing wrong with that- right? Well, there were some pretty messed-up people working at Keiser Wilhelm:
- Eugen Fischer, whose research was responsible for the decision to sterilize children to prevent Rhineland Bastards (mixed race people) from polluting German bloodlines.
- Otmar Freiherr von Verschuer was a Nazi who researched on twins, studied racial hygiene, and led sterilization efforts in the city of Frankfurt.
- Karin Magnussen who published “Race and Population Policy Tools”. She also had a fascination with studying eyes- using iris specimens from Auschwitz.
- Josef Mengele, who we all know was the Nazi responsible for experiments on humans at Auschwitz. He’s the guy who gave the iris samples to Magnussen.
Rockefeller felt this institute was so important that they boosted their funding during some hard times. The Nazi party felt Kaiser Wilhem was so important that it was the only institute that they labelled as being important for the wartime economy. This was the heart of the Nazi’s ethnic cleaning programs- where they classified Jews, Roma, handicapped, people of colour and the mentally ill before carting them away.
Does this mean that today’s Rockefeller Foundation is planning to build a master race? Of course not. That said, they’ve never stopped trying to mould the planet into their perception of the perfect world.
This raises many (fair) questions:
- What’s their perception of the perfect world?
- Is this aligned with the needs of all Canadians?
- Who benefits & who loses from the final outcome?
- Are they drowning out the voices of ordinary Canadians?
Do you know the answers to all of these questions? Well, then you either work for one of these foundations, or you are very close to this issue. Many Canadians aren’t even aware of their existence- those who know of them often have a hard time describing their mission. People who are unhappy with their lack of transparency call them ‘money launderers’. Others are uncomfortable with their close connections to US agencies who’ve been accused of espionage.
Let’s just assume, for a moment, that all of these questions can be answered in a way that will satisfy the majority of Canadians- what then? Well, that’s my purpose for going all Godwin’s Law on you today. What Rockefeller’s affair with Josef Mengele has taught us is that the Rockefellers can be wrong (as can all of the others). In the best-case scenario these foundations aren’t the second coming of Jose Jesus Miranda– they’ve been wrong in the past. In the worst case they could be planning a mass culling of humanity- or, at least, those who they deem undesirable.
Sandy Garossino (when not praising Warren Buffett) likes to accuse people who dare to ask questions of wearing tinfoil hats. What she’s saying is the height of irresponsibility- we need to question any & all organizations whose goal is to restructure our lives. We need to demand 110% transparency. This applies as much to TIDES as it does to the Fraser Institute.
End Note: No, I didn’t enact Godwin’s Law. Godwin’s statement says “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving..”- this isn’t a comparison, the Rockefeller Foundation was actually working with the Nazis. And, no, I’m not comparing Garossino to the Nazi’s- she’s one of the people on the sidelines who were too greedy/scared to ask critical questions…

[The main funder of the Presidential Climate Project is the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), the same foundation that is behind-the-scenes on the campaign to block the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and ban oil tanker traffic – but only on the strategic coast of British Columbia and in the Canadian arctic. Never mind the dozens of tankers that import oil to the U.S. on a daily basis, the Rockefeller Brothers are only against the tankers that would export Canadian oil to Asia.
The Rockefeller Brothers have powerful connections in Vancouver. The founder and long-time chair of the U.S. Presidential Climate Action Project was the late Ray Anderson. One of many positions that he held was as a long-time director of the David Suzuki Foundation.
RBF’s point person for both the Presidential Climate Action Project and the campaign against pipelines and tanker traffic is the same person: Michael Northrop.
Mayor Gregor Robertson, now leading the charge to block expansion of oil tanker traffic, met with Mr. Northrop in 2010, at taxpayers’ expense, at the Rockefeller Brothers’ offices in New York. In a letter earlier this year, Robertson said that he met Northrop “on the advice of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office” and that “the discussions focused solely on Mr. Northrop’s work as a member of Mayor Bloomberg’s Sustainability Advisory Board and New York City’s long-term sustainability plan.”]
The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Most of the damage done to aboriginal people in North America was done by those who honestly wanted to help them. The best example was the late 19th American group called “Friends of the Indian”. Which is basically a collection of 19th century people like Anthony Hall, Zach Ruiter, Jason Bowman, etc who are appalled at the treatment of aboriginals and appoint themselves to speak on behalf of aboriginals to the government. Out of this group we got the destructive Dawes Act and the idea for residential schools. All to help the natives.
Milton Friedman once said “One of the greatest mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.”
Idealist activistocrats and their flocks of sheep would do well to take his advice. They are full of brilliant ideas made with the best of intentions and too often turn a blid eye to potential pit-falls like what is described in this article.
Foreign money going to the Fraser Institute, AIMS, the Montreal Economic Institute and right wing “think tanks” and political pressure groups across the country is far greater than the amount TIDES gives. If you were railing against all foriegn money being used to influence Canadian policy then I could respect your position and even agree with it but you are cherry picking and focussing on the speck from TIDES while ignoring the huge log in Canada’s eye funded by the Kochs, The Donner “Canadian” Foundation (which is actually American) and others.
This is the last line of the article: “we need to question any & all organizations whose goal is to restructure our lives. We need to demand 110% transparency. This applies as much to TIDES as it does to the Fraser Institute.”
