In other words, Rockefeller tried to kill Ford using mk ultra's so he could be president. Side note, Ted Bundy was an mk ultra who managed the Seattle presidential campaign office of Nelson Rockefeller and attended the 1968 Republican National Convention in Miami as a Rockefeller supporter.....


Ambitious and NWO connected, New York's Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller dreams of being President. Conservatives such as Barry Goldwater will never allow such an open Socialist-Globalist as Rockefeller to ever win the nomination. But after a series of bizarre events, eerily similar to the rapid rise of Teddy Roosevelt, Rockefeller will literally comes within 6 inches of achieving his lifelong dream.

Oct 10, 1973: Vice President Spiro Agnew is forced to resign over a media-hyped "tax evasion scandal".
Oct 12, 1973: Democrat Congressional leaders force President Nixon to select Gerald Ford (TC) as the VP.
Aug 9, 1974: President Nixon is forced to resign over the media-hyped "Watergate Scandal".
Aug 9, 1974: Vice President Ford becomes President.
Dec 19, 1974: With the blessing of Democrat Congressional leaders, Ford selects Nelson Rockefeller as his Vice President. Conservatives are outraged!
1974-1975: Rockefeller, and Henry Kissinger cause internal friction as they form a powerful faction within the Ford Presidency.
Sept 5, 1975: Radical Lynette Fromme (mk ultra) aims her pistol at President Ford's head, but is apprehended by a Secret Service agent before she can fire.
Sept 22, 1975: Radical Sarah Jane Moore (mk ultra) fires her gun at Ford, missing his head by just 6 inches. She is tackled by a bystander just as she is about to fire a 2nd shot.

Ford runs for election in 1976, but drops Rockefeller from the ticket after Goldwater and Ronald Reagan threaten to withdraw support. Ford, who served on the Warren Commission which covered up JFK's murder, does not want to meet JFK's fate!

And how would this be any different than Clinton, Bush, Obama....Rockefeller and the likes run the show anyway, they'd rather not be the figurehead getting all the media attention.

so did James Nance Garner ; RFK would surely have won in 1968 and brought socialism sooner. history is filled with these.

Interesting! They've really watered down the history courses, then. (and they were bad when I was in grade school-I'm 30)

I'm only a couple years older than you - in my high school honors history class, we only covered events up to WW2 (and everything was extremely poorly covered at that). No Vietnam, no Watergate, no nothin'. Although I graduated college, I took no U.S. history classes there so still didn't learn anything post WW2. I was disgusted with my entire education and on my own initiative a couple years ago finished a history text (2 actually) designed for college students that went all the way up to 2004 Bush. An attempted assassination on Ford was not mentioned - there are 2 pages (1179 pg. book) on Ford and they talk about how he took over for Nixon, picked Nelson Rockefeller as VP which disgusted conservatives, battled Stagflation, and dealt with Vietnam. That's it. Even if they had mentioned Ford was nearly assassinated, it would have been one or 2 sentences that very few students would even remember (if they even did their damn assigned reading - fat chance of that), nor would they even know who Nelson Rockefeller really was, so none of this would have made an impact.

Definitely not common knowledge. Go talk to some people outside of your Austrian econ studying, history book reading libertarian circle - I'll bet 9/10 people (if that) wouldn't even be able to answer "Who was Gerald Ford's VP?". Hell, almost 1/3 of Americans can't name the current Vice President (http://gawker.com/5783852/nearly-one+third-of-americans-dont-know-who-the-vice-president-is), and of the two thirds who can - how many know anything about what Biden did before that?

Sofia - your writing has always been really good. You should look into other ways to monetize it besides subscriptions. Advertisements and an email list may end up making you more money than subscriptions.. and will definitely make it a more likable website.

Didn't Rockefeller die in the middle of doing it? That's common knowledge.

David Rockefeller always preferred to stay "behind-the-curtain".....but Nelson was always the biggest attention seeker of the five Rockefeller brothers.

You underestimate Ford. He was pretty pliable, true. But he didn't get picked by Nixon to be vp for nothing. He may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, and this may have made him willing to go along with the programs of smarter people. But he had more than an ounce of integrity and quite a bit of spine.

Ford was actually really smart, the media portrayed him as a moron. Once to prove his intelligence, he actually took questions on his proposed budget before the media. No President had answered questions on their own budget since before Truman, when the budget became too big that only staffers would know what was in it. He could do this because he was the Ranking Member of the Appropriations Committee for a long time. He was book smart, but it didn't translate well.
