For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum
have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate
influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions.
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world
to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will.
If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.
