Summary of Rockefeller "Internationalist": The Man Who Misrules the World by Emanuel M. Josephson

Dive into the chaotic world of 'Rockefeller Internationalist' and uncover how John D. Rockefeller may have shaped global power dynamics.

Welcome to the wonderfully chaotic world of Rockefeller "Internationalist", where the rich and powerful tango with suspicion, and conspiracy theorists might just feel right at home! Emanuel M. Josephson takes us on a wild ride, exploring the life of one of history's most infamous oil barons, John D. Rockefeller, and oh boy, does he have some things to say about the man who supposedly misrules the world. Buckle up; it's going to be a bumpy ride!

First things first, who was John D. Rockefeller? Well, he was that guy who basically invented the modern oil industry and somehow managed to make billions while being an exceedingly wholesome, devout churchgoer. But Josephson isn't here to fluff up his ego-oh no! Instead, he dives into the murky waters of capitalism and power, suggesting that Rockefeller and his elite friends have been pulling the strings behind the scenes in a big, sinister puppet show that is the world we live in today. Spoiler alert: it's not just the Muppet Show!

The book goes on to argue that Rockefeller wasn't just content being rich; he also aimed for global domination-or at least a nice slice of the international power pie. Josephson paints him as a sort of twisted philanthropist. Why? Because while he was giving money to hospitals and schools, he was also allegedly busy influencing wars, political decisions, and controlling a whole lot more than your average oil supply. Talk about a multitasker!

The author drags you through a series of questionable events and connecting dots like an amateur detective on a caffeine high. There's a lot of talk about secret societies, elite gatherings, and world affairs that make you want to clutch your pearls. According to Josephson, Rockefeller and his crew didn't just want to be rich; they wanted to shape the world as they saw fit. So, if you ever wondered why your favorite lighting is always so dim, it's probably because of these guys!

The narrative meanders through Rockefeller's infamous dealings and his connections with various political figures-think of him as the ultimate puppet master. Josephson suggests that every financial crisis and major war has some invisible Rockefeller fingers introducing chaos into the mix to increase profits. The man had more influence than your average social media influencer!

Josephson dismisses the more favorable biographies of Rockefeller, insisting that they're just whitewashed versions designed to keep the public passive and ignorant. Why? Because everyone knows that ignorance is bliss, and knowledge is power-unless, of course, you wield that power like a master manipulator.

The book is filled with references that would make any conspiracy lover's heart race, but it does so with a sense of humorous disbelief. You can almost picture Josephson smirking as he points out the ridiculousness of how the rich can essentially make the rules while pretending to be benevolent citizens.

As we go deeper into the chapters, the bibliography becomes a treasure trove of names and events that sound like they are straight out of a spy novel. So, if you're in the mood for a hefty dose of skepticism about the elite and their dealings, this book is your ticket.

In conclusion, Rockefeller "Internationalist" by Emanuel M. Josephson is not just an exposé of one man's life; it's a critique of how a few powerful individuals can shape the course of history to suit their whims. Whether or not you buy into Josephson's theories, it's a ride through the hall of mirrors where you'll find you're not quite sure what's real anymore but definitely entertained. Just remember: if things seem too good to be true, they probably come with a side of Rockefeller sauce!
