"For more than a
century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have
seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to
attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield
over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are
part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with
others around the world to build a more integrated global political and
economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand
guilty, and I am proud of it."
—David
Rockefeller, from his own book, Memoirs.
