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
