The Conventional Notions Of Art Have Changed,

Populists Believe In Conspiracies, And One Of The Most Enduring Is That A Secret Group Of International Bankers And Capitalists, And Their Minions, Control The World's Economy. Because Of My Name And Prominence As The Head Of The Chase For Many Years, I Have Earned The Distinction Of The "conspirator In Chief" From These People.

The Supranational Sovereignty Of An Intellectual Elite And World Bankers Is Surely Preferable To The National Auto-determination Practiced In Past Centuries.

There Have Been People.. Ever Since I've Had Any Kind Of Position In The World.. Who Have Accused Me Of Being Ruler Of The World. I Have To Say That I Think For The Large Part, I Would Have To Decide To Describe Them As Crack Pots. It Makes No Sense Whatsoever, And Isn't True, And Won't Be True, And To Raise It As A Serious Issue Seems To Me To Be Irresponsible.

Some Even Believe We (the Rockefeller Family) 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.

I Met Many Russians Over The Years Who Were Convinced My Brothers And I Were A Cabal, Pulling Strings Behind The Scenes To Shape American Policy. The Soviets Had No Conception Of How A Pluralistic Democracy Works And Believed Elected Officials, Up To And Including The President Of The United States, Were Only Figureheads Acting Out The Roles Dictated To Them By The Real "powers That Be" - In This Case, My Family.
