BloggeRhythms

It’s the day before Christmas and all through the news, there’s not very much stirring. Not even the Democrat leadership in the House. Stockings are being hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas will soon be there. Later on, children will be nestled all snug in their beds, visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. 

And at the same time of good cheer, according to Lynette Rice @ew.com/news, some of the famous dance group, the Rockettes have refused to appear at a Trump inauguration gala. 

Some of the dancers have gone to the extent of posting the names and email addresses of the producers on social media in hopes of applying public pressure. The New York Post, published a note written by one dancer via her Instagram account, who wrote, “the women I work with are intelligent and are full of love and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we’re against is appalling.”

The dancer’s reaction and refusal to appear stirred thoughts of several aspects of American society today. While political persuasion is certainly a major factor, individual knowledge, educational background and intellectual capabilities also play critically important roles in one’s overall makeup.

Thus, in this case, it seems obvious that the objecting dancers are either intellectually/educationally lacking, or while politically unwilling to attempt any form of compromise, are completely unaware of whom they represent in their own occupations. 
     
The Rockettes perform in Radio City Music Hall, located in Rockefeller Center in New York City.

Rockefeller Center consists of 19 high-rise commercial buildings covering 22 acres between 48th and 51st Streets originally commissioned by the Rockefeller family.

The Rockefeller family’s an industrial, political, and banking family that made one of the world's largest fortunes in the oil business during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily through Standard Oil.

Standard Oil Co. Inc. was the largest oil refiner in the world of its time and one of the world's first and largest multinational corporations until 1911, when the United States Supreme Court ruled that the company was an illegal monopoly. Today, Exxon/Mobil represents a substantial part of the original company.

As for the Rockefeller's themselves, David Rockefeller is the oldest living member of the family and its patriarch since July 2004. He’s a former banker who served as chairman and chief executive of Chase Manhattan Corporation. 

He’s a lifelong Republican and party contributor, and a committed member of the moderate "Rockefeller Republicans" that arose out of the political ambitions and public policy stance of his brother Nelson. 

Due to personal, political, and professional connections and his family name, he’s acted as a bridge to various interests around the world, including Saddam Hussein and Communist leaders such as Fidel Castro, Nikita Khrushchev, and Mikhail Gorbachev.

In 2006 he teamed up with former Goldman Sachs executives and others to form a fund-raising group based in Washington, Republicans Who Care, supporting moderate Republican candidates.

He also reportedly has connections to the CIA, and it was in Rockefeller Center that Allen Dulles set up his WWII operational center after Pearl Harbor, liaising closely with MI6 which also had their principal U.S. operation in the Center.

According to Wikipedia, Rockefeller “also knew and associated with the former CIA director Richard Helms, as well as Archibald Bulloch Roosevelt Jr., a Chase Bank employee and former CIA agent whose first cousin CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt, Jr. was involved in the Iran coup of 1953.”

Also, “in 1953, he had befriended William Bundy, a pivotal CIA analyst for nine years in the 1950s, who became the Agency liaison to the National Security Council, and a subsequent lifelong friend. Moreover, in Cary Reich's biography of his brother Nelson, a former CIA agent states that David was extensively briefed on covert intelligence operations by himself and other Agency division chiefs, under the direction of David's "friend and confidant", CIA Director Allen Dulles.”

So, today we have Rockettes refusing to appear with Trump because of his political persuasions. Yet one of the most well known entertainment venues in the world in which they work every day is part of a complex owned by the Rockefellers a Republican dynasty. Further compounded by the family’s fortune arising from the oil business.

Beyond that Rex W. Tillerson, who’s been nominated as Trump’s Secretary of State is currently chairman and chief executive officer of ExxonMobil. Which means that, if the dots are connected between Standard oil, ExxonMobil and the Rockefeller Center, these objecting dancers have been working for Republican related entity’s throughout their careers as Rockettes.   

Which means that, upon reading the preceding historical summary, it’s quite likely that many Rockette letters of resignation will be forthcoming. Now that they know they’ve been working in premises owned by despicable Republicans all along. We'll keep you posted as the resignations pour in.

That’s it for today folks. (And to all, a good night) 

Adios
