Rockefeller was a big promoter of modern art. So was his brother Nelson. The brothers promoted an artistic rebellion against the common man's taste. The more that a typical citizen would regard a piece of art as ugly or silly or meaningless, the more money a Rockefeller would pay for it.
His mother was a co-founder of the Museum of Modern Art. When it comes to modern art, I am in agreement with E. Michael Jones' thesis and book title for his book on Picasso: Degenerate Moderns.
He created the Trilateral Commission, which promotes globalism without meaningful national borders. Fortunately, the whole globalist vision is coming undone. He lived to see Brexit.
He was a big promoter of the Council on Foreign Relations, beginning in 1941. He was Chairman for 15 years. It is the heart of the American establishment.
He was a multinational banker. The New York Times obituary of him pointed out that he was not a good banker.
He spent his whole life flying around and visiting important people in foreign nations. He had a list of something like 150,000 people he had met. Basically, the man was a multibillionaire gadfly.
