Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is July 27, 1978, and this is my Audio letter No. 36.

For three generations the Rockefeller dynasty has been a dominant factor in the economic, political, and social life of America. And for three decades four Rockefeller brothers of the third generation--David, Nelson, Laurance, and John D. III--have been the real rulers of the Western world. Long ago they carved up the world into spheres of influence; but by coordinating their activities and working as a unit, the four brothers have held unparalleled sway over the fate of all mankind. But three years ago this month in Audioletter No. 2, I revealed that the brothers were beginning to lose their iron grip on events. For example, Nelson Rockefeller had been planning to replace then President Gerald Ford in the Oval Office no later than June, 1975; but Ford survived the strange illness that sent him crashing downstairs in aircraft ramps during that month--and he has had no more falling spells in the three years since then. A few months later, in September and October, 1975, a rash of assassination attempts almost removed Ford from the scene, but those too were bungled. My three topics for today are: Topic #1--THE LEGACY OF THE LATE JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER III; Topic #2--THE NEW AMERICAN STRATEGY FOR A FIRST STRIKE; and Topic #3--THE AFTERMATH OF NUCLEAR WAR ONE.
