A Conversation Between Arron Russo and Nicholas Rockefeller
Nicholas Rockefeller is of the well known Rockefeller family. No he isn't , he isn't connected to them in family tree.
...as described by Arron Russo in movie "Zeitgeist":
I got a call one day from, um, the Terry woman I knew and she said "Would you like to meet one of the Rockefellers?" I said, "Sure, I'd love to." And, uh, we became friends and, um, he began to divulge a lot of things to me. So, he said to me one night, he said that, uh, "There's gonna be an event, Arron, and out of that event, you're gonna see we're gonna we're gonna go into Afghanistan, so we can run pipelines from the Caspian sea. We're gonna go into Iraq to take the oil and establish a base in the Middle East, and we're gonna go into Venezuela and try and try and get rid of Chavez."
...and the first two they've accomplished, Chavez they didn't accomplish. And he said, "You're gonna see guys going into caves looking for....looking for people that they're never gonna find." You know, he was laughing about the fact that you have this war on terrorism, there's no real enemy, he's talking about how by having this war on terror you can never it 'cause...so it's an eternal war and so you can always keep taking people's liberties away.
I said, "How you gonna convince people that this war is real?" He says, "By the media. The media can convince everybody it's real. I mean, you know it's just that you keep talking about things, you keep saying it over and over and over again, and eventually people believe it."
You know you created the Federal Reserve in 1913 through lies, you created 9/11, which is another lie. Through 9/11 then you're fighting a war on terror. And now all of a sudden you go into Iraq, which was another lie. And now they're gonna do Iran, you know? And so one thing leading to another, leading to another, leading to another. I would say, "What are you doing this for? You have all the money in the world you ever want, you have all the power. I said, "You know you're hurting people, it's not a good thing."
He would say, "What do you care about the people for? Take care of yourself and you take care of your family." And then I said to him, "Well, what are the ultimate goals here?" He said, "The ultimate goal is to get everybody in this world chipped with an RFID chip and have all money be on those chips and everything on those and if anybody wants to protest what we do or violate what we want, we just turn off their chip."

John D Rockefeller the richest man in the world?
He used to be, if he kept his net worth of $1 billion in 1900, he would be worth $150 billion today! He excelled at the oil industry and since he was the first man to roll his dice and get a good roll in the oil industry, little competition and a big need and a huge supply added up to a billion dollars in 1900!
The term "Richest Person in the world" is hard to determine for any number of reasons. adjustment for inflation, adjustment for type of worth. i.e. Solomon of the bible was worth a lot, but in what? money of the time, Jewels, etc. As far As John D. Rockefeller, was concerned; He was the Richest American of his time for sure. In terms of US dollars. He had about 1.4 Billion in 1937 dollars of Nominal Money (Actual cash he could spend) that works out to about 22 Billion in 2012 dollars. However that was not his Net worth (properties, business, stocks, etc.) adding that in the estimates range from 300 to 600 Billion in 2012 dollars. It is noteworthy that he was touted as the first American Billionaire. But that Honor was also given to Howard Hughes. However the Hughes moniker would actually be the first American Multi Billionaire as he died with a nominal worth of about 3 Billion US dollars in 1973 dollars.
