The Rockefellers are arguably the wealthiest and most powerful family in the history of the United States. For more than 100 years, they have shaped and directed America's economic, financial, political, and public policy while simultaneously amassing one of the largest family empires in the modern era. Most Americans hold the billionaire philanthropists in high esteem, associating the Rockefeller name with "oil" and "capitalism." In reality, the Rockefellers are intent on controlling nearly every major institution in America, using philanthropy as a means of increasing their influence on the world stage under the guise of advancing various social causes. The "climate change" agenda is a prime example of one of these so-called social causes.

The Rockefeller family, whose track record of advancing the climate change agenda is unrivaled, appears to have orchestrated the simultaneous media and legal assaults against ExxonMobil. Through their financial influence, it is posited that the Rockefellers planned, coordinated, and subsidized the combined efforts of the Columbia Journalism School and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s investigation into ExxonMobil. The collective facts lead to the premise that Eric Schneiderman launched a legal probe into Exxon as a result of the Rockefellers anointing him their “chosen one” at their 2012 La Jolla meeting. Schneiderman’s public statements denouncing climate deniers and call to action to fight climate change lend strong credence that he is the “sympathetic attorney general” the Rockefellers needed to go after ExxonMobil.

Even with Schneiderman as their surrogate, if they were going to successfully dismantle the oil company, the Rockefellers seemingly needed to gain widespread public support through a respected news outlet, which they likely found at the Columbia Journalism School. Their man on this front appears to be climate activist Steve Coll, who, aside from exhibiting blatant contempt for Exxon in his widely published book, served as chairman of the Rockefeller bankrolled New America Foundation. Because the Rockefellers helped Coll transform the New America Foundation into a major player in the climate change movement, their influence over him is significant, to say the least.

Since the Rockefellers had contributed millions to the Columbia Journalism School over the years, they likely wielded enough power to influence Coll’s appointment as Dean. With the Columbia Journalism School’s Energy and Environmental Reporting Fellowship Project, the Rockefellers, along with other activist billionaires, openly bankrolled the initiative, because they knew that it would publicly deem ExxonMobil a threat to the environment.

In light of the revelations that the Columbia Journalism School: is funded by nearly all of the major players in the climate change movement, is led by a man who previously authored a thorough condemnation of ExxonMobil, employs several faculty members with direct connections to George Soros, and has an alumni board stacked with green radicals, it is reasonable to conclude that Dean Steve Coll, as well as the rest of the powers that be at the Columbia Journalism School, would have been more than happy to drag Exxon through the mud.

The battering of ExxonMobil is only the beginning of a large, widespread, and coordinated effort to collapse the fossil fuel industry in the United States. As reported in The Washington Times on March 29, 2016, emails obtained by the Energy and Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal) through open records requests show that the offices of the New York Attorney General and several other Democrat attorneys general secretly concocted a scheme with anti-fossil fuel activists to use the criminal justice system to investigate individual scientists and nonprofits under fraud and RICO laws.

After an intense legal battle, E&E Legal uncovered a Common Interest Agreement (CIA) signed by the involved attorneys general and several climate activists in what is essentially a secrecy pact. Each signer promised to alert the others if open records requests were filed with their offices regarding their scheme to target “climate deniers” in an attempt to keep citizens from discovering their tyrannical infringement on individual liberty and the First Amendment. The CIA is invalid for a multitude of reasons, as it is overly broad in scope, and was drafted to in anticipation of open records requests instead of litigation.

This oppressive infringement on constitutionally protected free speech is unprecedented, and demonstrates the lengths the climate change movement will go to force their narrative down the throats of the American people. When one follows the money, the major initiatives of the green movement always lead back to the usual suspects: activist billionaires such as the Rockefellers seeking control the energy industry.
