BIG MONEY AND UFOs
Laurance Rockefeller.
As a UFO analyst I live in the past almost all of the time. That is, I depend on the hard work of others for the vast majority of
my information and it takes time for that information to see the
light of day. Nowhere is this more true than where someone like
Laurance Rockefeller is concerned. When it comes to what the
Rockefellers are doing right NOW I know about what everyone else
does: not much. But I have informed myself as to what they have
done in the past and how they have done it. This information
sheds considerable light on what they might be doing now since
consistency is one of the Rockefeller hallmarks.

This message will concern the Laurance Rockefeller who is/was a
brother to Nelson, Winthrop, David and JDR3. The Laurance
Rockefeller who is helping bankroll John Mack could well be
the same person you will read about below.
Laurance Rockefeller (b. 1910) became interested in high tech
firms in 1938 with the foundation of the Rockefeller Brothers
Fund. During World War II Laurance was in the Navy overseeing
the production of patrol bombers before being shifted to the
fighter desk by his good friend James V. Forrestal. At this time
Laurance owned 20 per cent of McDonnell aircraft which had been
founded by Laurance's college friend James S. McDonnell, with
some help from Laurance. It seems that both were at Princeton.
In 1947 there was talk of a Congressional investigation of Navy
contracts vis-a-vis McDonnell during the period that Laurance was
in the Navy. But, that investigation never seemed to get off the
ground, no pun intended. Thus Laurance sailed on, later forming
a consortium with family friends C. Douglas Dillon and Felix
DuPont to make a fortune out of helicopter production during the
Korean War. This consortium also owned Nuclear Development
Associates, the original power behind civilian nuclear reactors,
and a little company called ITEK, which would make the spy
cameras for the U-2 and America's spy satellites. The capital
for these ventures would come from brother David's Chase Bank,
the very center of Rockefeller power and the prime force behind
the great war scare of 1948, which I have documented earlier.
In 1950 Laurance hired Lewis Strauss, former Kuhn, Loeb banker
who had been an assistant to Herbert Hoover in World War I, an
offical in the 1930s of the company that later became UniRoyal,
and the lawyer/banker who had helped Kodak market Kodachrome and
later aided Dr. Land and his Polaroid. Strauss spent World War
Two in the Navy and had been made an Admiral by his good friend
James V. Forrestal. Funny how things like this worked out.
In any event, in 1950 Strauss was overseeing the Rockefeller
Brothers Fund and was heavily connected into the high-tech
yscience world. He left Rockefeller employ to become the
chairman of the AEC under Eisenhower, just as Laurance put
together a company called United Nuclear which had the inside
track on the development of civilian atomic power. Also at this
time ITEK was created, begun when a Boston University scientist
advised his good friend Laurance Rockefeller that Ike's
Administration was going to liquidate Boston University's Physics
Research Lab.
I wonder how they knew of this in advance? Probably just luck.
Anyway, Laurance bought the thing and put his good scientific
friend in charge of it. It made millions out of the U-2 and the
Discovery satellites, both of which were promoted relentlessly by
Rockefeller operatives, including Nelson (!), inside the former
Council On Foreign Relations member's (Ike) administration.
Later on, Laurance would be a power behind LBJ's administration
and his wife would give Lady Bird the idea for her beautification
of America scheme. In 1969 Laurance would use his connections
into the world of "conservation" to help push through SLAC, the
Stanford Linear Acclerator, over the objections of the people who
actually lived there. By that time he would have been president
of the Jackson Hole (WY) Preserve society for decades and his
family would own large tracts in the West.
Also by the middle 1970s Laurance and his brother Nelson would
have created several "conservation" societies revolving around
the family's Pocantico estate (47,000-plus acres) on the Hudson
River. How many folks investigating UFOs know that the so-called
Hudson Valley Object has been flying for years over an area that
is more or less a Rockefeller private preserve? Do you think the
family might be interested in that, or MORE than interested?
