Conspiracy Rabbit Hole

Since I'm in northeast Ohio, and have been interested in the alt-history/conspiracy media for quite a while I'm familiar with the general story of the Rockefellers and Standard Oil. I've never heard of this particular angle, though.


As a young pupil in public school, he [William Rockefeller] was inspired and motivated by his teacher-mentor, Rufus Osgood Mason, whom Rockefeller later named "A Rockefeller Patron."


So a guy named "Mason" was a mentor of the "Rock"efellers. What was Mason? A geologist who knew all about oil, or a super duper businessman? Nope. He was basically Doctor Strange. He was a physician who was into the occult.

That's pretty weird. Seems like this dude initiated the "Rock"efellers into the stone-cutter's guild, basically. Are any of the Billionaires "real" or are they just a front for the Masons, which is basically like some older version of Scientology on a grander scale.

Anyway, my personal take-away is to not really take any of the show seriously at all. The world works in almost the opposite way that we're taught, I think. If you speculate about the Rockefellers being possessed by demons or intra-dimensional aliens it's probably just about as accurate as imagining more prosaic explanations for their wealth, e.g. scams and schemes on a grand scale.
