The deep involvement of the Rockefeller, Harriman and Bush families in providing vital
strategic and financial support to Hitler’s war buildup was, in the final analysis, an integral part
of an even more ambitious agenda. Their aim was not to back a victorious Germany, but to
create the global war out of which an American Century, more accurately, a Rockefeller
Century, would emerge after 1945.
Bush, Rockefeller, Harriman, DuPont and Dillon were all instrumental in providing critical
support to the Third Reich in its early years as part of their grand geopolitical game plan — to
bring the great European powers, especially Germany and Russia, to ruin by ‘bleeding each
other to death,’ thereby opening the door to the hegemony of the American Century. That was
the real agenda of Rockefeller’s War & Peace Studies.
Pretext for War: FDR’s ‘Pearl Harbor’
When President Roosevelt won re-election to an unprecedented third term in 1940, he had
secretly been preparing for war against Germany for months. Not only did FDR provide aid to
Churchill through his Lend-Lease program, in violation of the formal US pledge of neutrality,
but FDR also played an active role in shaping the events that led Japan to try to destroy the US
Pacific naval fleet at Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
Release of classified Congressional records and other documents after the war and the death
of Roosevelt demonstrated beyond doubt that the President and his Secretary of War, Henry
Stimson, had deliberately incited the Japanese into war. They did so by embargoing Japanese oil
supplies and preparing a US military action against Japanese expansion in the Pacific. The
documents show that Roosevelt was fully informed days before the bombing of Pearl Harbor of
the exact details of the Japanese naval advance, down to the hour of the planned strike.— The
documents also show that Roosevelt took steps to provoke Japan’s assault.
In 1946, at the end of the War, a Joint Committee on the Investigation of the Pearl Harbor
Attack of the US Congress, chaired by Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky, heard a report from
the US Army Pearl Harbor Board. It was classified ‘Top Secret’ and only decades later
declassified.— The report was a clear indictment of the Roosevelt Administration, President
Roosevelt himself and of War Secretary Stimson.
On December 6, a Magic intercept was translated and sent to the War Department, and to
Admiral Breadall, the President’s naval aide at the White House, between 9:30 and 10:00 p. m.,
with orders that the intercept be given to the President at the earliest possible moment.
Commander Schulz delivered the message to the President who, along with Harry Hopkins,
read its contents. Delivery was then made to Secretary Knox and to Admiral Wilkinson, both of
whom presumably read the dispatch.
The intercept contained a communique between Tokyo and the Japanese Ambassador to
Washington. It indicated that a dramatic event was to occur at 13:00 Washington time December
7 — at dawn, Pearl Harbor time. That event was the Japanese bombing of the US naval fleet at
Pearl Harbor,.
Admiral Kimmel subsequently testified that,
Had I learned these vital facts and the ‘ships in harbor’ messages on November 28th, it is
my present conviction that I would have rejected the Navy Department’s suggestion to send
carriers to Wake and Midway. I would have ordered the third carrier, the Saratoga, back
from the West Coast. I would have gone to sea with the Fleet and endeavored to keep it in
an intercepting position at sea. This would have permitted the disposal of the striking
power of the Fleet to meet an attack in the Hawaiian area.—
Kimmel instead was made the scapegoat for allowing Pearl Harbor to be attacked and he was
forced to resign.
The devastating attack on Pearl Harbor gave Roosevelt the cause to wage the war he so
urgently sought. It was the war needed and encouraged by the War & Peace Studies group to
create a new American empire, Luce’s American Century.
Even after Congress declared war against Germany, Japan, and the Axis powers in December
1941, however, powerful circles within the Roosevelt Administration and around the
Rockefeller faction in US industry continued their illegal collusion with leading German
military industries, a story of treason that was duly buried in the postwar history accounts.
Simultaneously, in addition to their activities in Germany and Europe during the war, Nelson
Rockefeller was to play a strategic role in securing the vast resources and political alliances of
Latin America for the emerging American postwar empire.
