Rockefeller Foundation

The Rockefeller Foundation is an American philanthropic organization established in 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, whose Standard Oil monopoly had made him the wealthiest person in the world. While ostensibly dedicated to public health, education, and scientific research, the Foundation and the broader Rockefeller family have been alleged to play a central role in shaping institutions that serve elite interests, including the restructuring of medical education, the funding of eugenics research, and involvement in UFO disclosure efforts.

Medical and pharmaceutical influence

In 1910, with financial backing from both Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie, the Flexner Report was released, condemning most of America's medical schools and particularly those teaching anything other than drug-based, symptom-focused treatment. Over half of all medical schools in the United States subsequently closed, and the American Medical Association became the enforcer of the new pharmaceutical-centered paradigm. Critics allege this was designed to create a pharmaceutical monopoly by eliminating competition from alternative medicine traditions, turning healthcare into a system of "sick care, not healthcare."

The Flexner Report also had consequences for electrotherapy and other energy-based medical modalities, which had been the subject of active research by organizations such as the American Electro Therapeutic Association since the 1890s.

Before the Flexner Report, twenty to thirty percent of physicians in the United States practiced as osteopaths, homeopaths, or practitioners of other unconventional modalities.

Council on Foreign Relations

According to William Cooper in Behold a Pale Horse, the Council on Foreign Relations "did not take on its present power until 1921, when it merged with the Royal Institute of International Affairs and received its financial base from J.R. Morgan, the Carnegie Endowment, the Rockefeller family, and other Wall Street banking interests." Cooper alleged that the CFR controls American government policy, with its members infiltrating "the entire executive branch, State Department, Justice Department, CIA, and the top ranks of the military," and that CFR members dominate ownership of the press.

Role in UFO secrecy and disclosure

Cooper wrote that in 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower turned to his "fellow member of the Council on Foreign Relations Nelson Rockefeller" to plan "the secret structure of alien-task supervision," leading to the creation of MJ-12. Cooper described this as "the biggest mistake Eisenhower ever made for the future of the United States and maybe for humanity."

Rockefeller Initiative

In the 1990s, Laurance Rockefeller pursued what became known as the Rockefeller Initiative, pressuring the Clinton administration toward UFO disclosure. Steven Greer recounted being hosted by Laurance Rockefeller at the Rockefeller Ranch in the Tetons, where Rockefeller told him that his family members were "jumping up and down on my nuts" for even engaging with the Disclosure Project. Rockefeller later hosted the Clintons at the ranch "under cover of a summer vacation" to review UFO evidence, though Greer claimed Hillary Clinton responded that the material was "too dangerous."
