For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the 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."
— David Rockefeller, "Memoirs" autobiography (2002, Random House publishers), page 405; Honorary Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and a member of the Bohemian Club and the Stowaway Camp in the Bohemian Grove.
