Note: The following quotation from the late David Rockefeller (1915-1917) has been disputed by some:
“We are grateful to the
Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications
whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of
discretion for almost 40 years......It would have been impossible for us to
develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of
publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared
to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national
auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” - ― David Rockefeller
