ROCKEFELLER BROTHERS FUND, INC. Financial Statements and Supplemental Schedule December 31, 2017 and 2016 (With Independent Auditors’ Report Thereon) ROCKEFELLER BROTHERS FUND, INC. Financial Statements and Supplemental Schedule December 31, 2017 and 2016 (With Independent Auditors’ Report Thereon) KPMG LLP 345 Park Avenue New York, NY 10154-0102 Independent Auditors’ Report The Board of Trustees Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Inc. (the Fund), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. KPMG LLP is a Delaware limited liability partnership and the U.S. member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. Other Matter Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in the schedule of functional expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the 2017 financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2017 financial statements taken as a whole. July 31, 2018 2 ROCKEFELLER BROTHERS FUND, INC.

  • The Rockefellers: a Model for Family Stewardship
    The Rockefellers: A Model for Family Stewardship “If the values weren’t lived, the words wouldn’t have had an impact,” David Rockefeller Jr. said. “So I think the family has tried its best to live those values, to whom much is given, much is expected.” The Rockefeller family is one of the oldest and most prominent family dynasties in the US. It is also one of the most discreet. By many measures the family has been incredibly successful. The Rockefeller foundation has celebrated 100 years and the family has stewarded a fortune of over $11Billion. Now entering into its seventh generation, the descendants from the original wealth creator, John Davison Rockefeller (JDR), come together at least twice a year. The family has stayed together and feels like a family. It has done so without the scars of family feuds or lawsuits. The writings, anecdotes and stories of JDR’s life provide many clues as to how such a strong legacy was built. Like all successful families, the legacy comes from clear purpose and a strong set of values. So, how might the purpose and values chapters of the Rockefeller Family Charter read? Using many of JDR’s original ideas, we’ve attempted to piece them together. ‘Singleness of purpose is essential for success in life’, JDR For many successful individuals, philanthropy denotes a level of success, the culmination of a lifetimes work. The idea that once there is enough wealth to share around, it is time to consider how to contribution to something greater. For JDR, it was a core belief long before there was any wealth to speak of.

  • Rockefeller Syndicate - Secret Govt
    Rockefeller Syndicate - Secret Govt The following is on the historical perspective of just the Rockefeller and Rothschild connections and in no way attempts to cover every aspect, but will suffice to give you a basis on which to understand how pervasive the Web of influence is and that it is a good deal MORE than "merely a conspiracy". Just WHO makes up the ILLEGAL SHADOW GOVERMNENT, YOUR HIDDEN MASTERS. Some have looked for shadows of the old illuminati; they look amiss, not seeing that which is all around them. If you know not the "who" and the "why", efforts will be mis-directed. This is NOT a "conspiracy", nay, it is a very cold and calculated NETWORK of individuals whose intent is nothing short of implementation of a "New World Order"; an oligarchic rein in which *you* serve as little more that slaves in their "technocracy". This network has every intention to implement a cashless society, for it is they who control every aspect of finance and banking over the entire globe. They have had about 100 years to perfect their plans and put them into practice. Please understand that the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Tri- lateral Commission, the Institute for Policy Studies, the Roundtables, the "Club of Rome", etc are ALL bound by common denominators of long-standing families ties, and interests and come together as a _single_ policy making body that is known today as "The Committee of 300" . This has also been known as "The Olympians", the "Policy Committee". Don't be mis-led by labels such as "Rockefeller" or "Rothschild"; for these are simply the families who have the mechanisms of control already set in place, but of themselves are not the entire network; that being the "Committee of 300".

    "The Capstone" An attempt to identify the 'Head of the Snake' Secret Societies Order of Hospitallers (link) The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of Hospitallers or simply Hospitallers, were a group of men attached to a hospital in Jerusalem that was founded by Blessed Gerard around 1023 out of which two major Orders of Chivalry evolved, the Order of the Knights of St. Lazarus and the Order of the Knights of St. John, later to be known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The Hospitallers arose around the work of an Amalfitan hospital located at the Muristan site in Jerusalem, founded around 1023 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Order was weakened by Napoleon's capture of Malta in 1798 and became dispersed throughout Europe. It regained strength during the early 19th century as it repurposed itself towards humanitarian and religious causes. The modern continuation of the mediaeval Order is the Roman Catholic Sovereign Military Order of Malta, headquartered in Rome; allied Protestant orders are headquartered in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. The first master of the original Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem was Brother Gerard (whose origins remain a mystery).
