It should be reduced to a couple of short paragraphs.
The Rockefeller Foundation was started by Standard Oil owner John D. Rockefeller ("Senior"), along with his son John D. Rockefeller Jr. ("Junior"), and Frederick Taylor Gates in New York on May 14, 1913. Historically, it has given more than $14 billion in current dollars[1] to thousands of grantees worldwide and has assisted directly in the training of nearly 13,000 Rockefeller Fellows.
From the early half of the 20th century onwards, this money was used to take over the medical field, including medical research facilities, hospitals and universities. The Rockefeller family sponsored research and donated sums to universities and medical schools which had drug based research. They further extended this policy to foreign universities and medical schools where research was drug based through their "International Education Board". Establishments and research which were were not drug based were refused funding and soon dissolved in favor of the lucrative pharmaceutical industry. The 1910 Flexner Report to US Congress soon criminalized its competitors.
Its overall activity has been divided into five main subject areas:
- Medical, health, and population sciences
- Agricultural and natural sciences
- Arts and humanities
- Social sciences
- International relations
History
Rockefeller's interest in philanthropy began in 1904, influenced by Ida Tarbell's book published about Standard Oil, The History of the Standard Oil Company, which prompted him to start spending money on Public Relations to whitewash the Rockefeller image. Mixing PR with profits, the foundation subsequently placed it's own "nominees" in federal health agencies and set the stage for the "reeducation" of the public.
Eugenics
Beginning in 1930 the Rockefeller Foundation provided financial support to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics, which later inspired and conducted eugenics experiments in the Third Reich.
The Rockefeller Foundation, along with the Carnegie Foundation, was the primary financier for the U.S. research institute Eugenics Record Office, until 1939.
Henry Kissinger
The foundation also supported the early initiatives of Henry Kissinger, such as his directorship of Harvard's International Seminars (funded as well by the Central Intelligence Agency) and the early foreign policy magazine Confluence, both established by Kissinger while he was still a graduate student.
Medical Research
In 1950 the Foundation mounted a major program of virus research, establishing field laboratories in Poona, India; Port of Spain, Trinidad; Belém, Brazil; Johannesburg, South Africa; Cairo, Egypt; Ibadan, Nigeria; and Cali, Colombia. Sub-professional staff were almost all recruited locally and, wherever possible, local people were given scholarships and other support to be professionally trained. In most cases, locals eventually took over management of the facilities. Support was also given to research on viruses in many other countries. The result of all this research was the identification of a huge number of viruses affecting humans, the development of new techniques for the rapid identification of viruses, and a quantum leap in our understanding of arthropod-borne viruses
Gates Foundation
People with close connections to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Microsoft (Patty Stonesifer,Rajiv Shah) have senior positions in the Rockefeller Foundation, making the two giant foundations noticeably interwoven (or strategically infiltrated by the Gates).
