@@arichansmontoya3477 He? He never killed any whales. He, Rockefeller was not a whale killer. He put the whalers out of business by under cutting the price of whale oil with refined oil. The use of Whale oil was replaced with kerosene. Say something else stupid. Rockefeller's crime was working with the Democrats to break up unions. Government getting involved with business is fascism.

Ibuprofen comes from oil originally for examples. Lots of medicine was found in oil. Nowadays they get synthesized though. But some of them with products from oil production ironically
You should tell the story how ruthlessly JD cornered the production,and transportation of oil . Forcing out every small producer to pay him ( standard oil) a vig on everything refined . Its called criminal today , nd it was criminal in his time as well . But no one would go against such a ruthless corrupt individual.
the family ruthlessness goes well beyond standard oil.... but... JD also corrupted the thinking about oil... he got everyone to think of it as fossil fuel... something that could run out in time... in truth petroleum is regenerative byproduct of the Earth.... otherwise a limitless resource would be of no value.... they lie , cheat, steal, kill millions... but they got a square named after them in Gotham City

@RSI77 dude I invented free energy simply by plugging my bong into my power outlet, but the CIA found out and assasinated me right before I collected my billions and shut down all the world's evil corporations.... Bummer huh?
Lucifer is an incorrect translation for the Hebrew "Heylel". It was intentional by the Bablyonian Witchraft servants (you'll know this by its more common name, "Catholicism") to connect Yeshua to Satan.
He basically wiped out the whaling industry and then took over automobiles before people like ford were able to make them more affordable. Pretty sure one of fords original designs was a car made out of hemp. Durable, lightweight, and cheap to produce. They could’ve ran cars on electricity or even water but Rockefeller took it over. So while originally it wasn’t about gas it most definitely ended up being about gasoline and the automobile industry.
Electric vehicles were invented in the late 1800s but oil was big business so it's big wealthy business people helping out each other by making fossil fuels the preferred way to fuel a car .. Oil is essential for making plastic products that we can shape and form anything from plastic chairs to plastic kitchen containers plastic bumper bars on cars etc

If it fuels our lives then make peace with it; Alternatives will make their way naturally. The painful truth is that anything worth having will always have a market. Give a choice, don't force it; Time will be deciding factor, no one gets to dictate terms.
Well, it was sort of forced regardless. Whales were becoming endangered so whaling was starting to become illegal. Then kerosene was developed and sold. Which used the anti-whaling as a means to push their product. It's always force man. It's how the market goes. Besides Rockefeller was a piece of utter shyte. When Colorado made it law in 1911 that the workers would only work a 5 day 40 hour work week, Rockefeller threw a fit. Used a "detective" agency (Baldwin-Felts), to "persuade workers to work more. By gunning then down in their homes when they were eating dinner with their families. By drive by no less. They had to dig fox holes under their dinner tables to survive. Also no Ford saw the writing in the wall, it was becoming vastly popular. So he decided to grant all of his plants a 5 day 40 hour work week. So he wouldn't face scrutiny. He didn't invent it. That's just wealth worship.
The problem is that alternatives will only make their way through naturally when it is cost efficient for the corporations to bring them through, i.e when the existing infrastructure reaches the end of its life. That is not cost efficient for society as a whole because of climate change, but corporations will not face the costs, the average person will. That's why we must act
Rockefeller also created the modern medical system, turned it from "silly" hollistic medicine (heal the body etc) to the present "ignore the disease and body, instead prescribe drugs for the symptom" doctrine. Thus we have "big pharma" which consumes oil in pill manufacture. Huge step backwards actually.
Camphine or Camphene I don’t remember how to spell it was also popular and cheap but lost to kerosene when it got even cheaper. A mixture of ethanol and turpentine. Ethanol for the fuel, turpentine to make it burn yellow and very bright. It all came down to economics. Kerosene was very cheap, one of the reason kerosene tractors and hit or miss engines lasted so long in production even when superior fuels came about.
Tesla sold his patents to Westinghouse and he sold to JP MORGAN. Those guys were all brilliant AND ruthless. Watch: The Men who Built America......the industrial revolution and begining of American industry/invention/ modernitazion is covered. Very good series. Before Rockeffeler consolidated the oil/kerosene industry under his rule co's produced different quailty(ofren poor) kerosene which would explode and the price fluctuated wildly, his kerosene was stable and affordable.

it's so weird that the one industry that has damaged our planet the most also gave a second chance to animals that were headed to guaranteed extinction: whales
The first automobiles in the USA werent american made, they were German and French where they were essentially invented. Americans started to build their own in the mid to late 1890s but Ford and the rest didnt start mass production until the 1920s. We have basically been burning oil in increasingly large amounts now for around 100 years. Oil that took around 100 million years to lay down during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. We have put that carbon back into the air and oceans and the climate has begun drifting back to that Jurassic time which was much hotter than it is now.
OK settle down climate soy boy. Oil was supposed to run out for the last.....I don't now 50 years? Isn't it a miracle they just keep finding more, even so much as to manufacture batteries for electric cars that can never be recycled...ever..... they just bury em and walk away....that is if they down explode while your doing 100mph down the highway. The promise of peak oil is a buisness stratergy to constantly drive the price up perpetually, amoung other things they tell you about why the price of fuel suddenly went up 1 dollar. They have even worked out a way to tax us for the weather........and people like you buy it, hook line and sinker. Oil literally is unlimited, they know how it's made in the earth's core. It's not just layers of organic juices. It's much more complicated than that and we ain't supposed to know about it. We are right where we are supposed to be, worrying about things we have zero control over. Shed it.
Fossil fuel byproducts go into over 6,000 modern manufacturing materials, 99% all Pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and energy. Let's go back to the 1800s 😂 those were amazing times.
I challenge any of those clowns from Just stop oil to give up 100% of their oil use first. Their cell phones, their clothes, their food, everything that uses oil to be produced. THEN they can go out and start protesting it, if they can figure out how to get someplace to protest without a relationship to oil, like the asphalt in the road, or the trucks that used oil to deliver cement.
John D. is responsible for not only saving the whales but also cleaning up all the Horse maneuvers from city streets. This has made our lives a lot cleaner and healthier.
Gasoline absolutely was NOT a left over liquid derived from the process of boiling kerosene out of crude oil. NAPTHA was one of many resulting condensates derived from obtaining kerosene from crude oil. Naptha is the starting point for gasoline and is more closely related to drip condensate aka drip gas.
Wait so you’re telling me these men invented something to fill a void in the market and were compensated for it? Impossible must have been gotten through ill gotten means, inherited wealth or on the backs of the working class.
Actually, John D Rockefeller began producing gasoline after investing in his first oil refinery in Cleveland Ohio in 1863, just four years after the first oil well was drilled in Titusville Pennsylvania in 1859.
Petroleum-synthesized chemicals are in everything, from food to cosmetics, lots of them in deodorants and perfumes, so many medicines were made possible by synthetic chemicals, etc. Petroleum has saved as many lives as it has destroyed

Several people were working on similar things at the same time but I think he actually ended up going into partnership with the guy in Britain who he was arguing with over the patent there.
I never thought of it like that if they would have made electric cars earlier how would he have changed his business model
I'm remembering a story about Rockefeller, supposedly while on vacation JD would go to a Black church because the church used oil for lighting.
It would have been more believable if you said Kerosene instead of oil.
This dude probably never went to church. Not a religious man, trust me
Black, meaning on the dark side
Dude, most clergy I know don't go to church on vacation. It's a neat story, but I don't know.
Whoa “oil is in your C19 vaccine?”🤔
Watch Europa last battle...
He built standard needed to generate the electricity the made the light work. No standard oil. No light!! .
JDR lit up the world for 90% less
What else did those vile bastards do?
@@yoliverrr u're not okay the change the world
In the 1930 the majority of the US South didn't have electricity. Then FDR created the tenn valley authority.
So um can we make it .03 cents a gallon again lol
can we pay workers .03 cents/ hour
The first raptor with that off road jump .
And along came the prohibition so farmers couldn' make their own combustible alcohol out of left over plants.
So instead of Baptists and bootleggers, the expression should be Baptists, bootleggers, and oil Barrons. 😂
Imagine being someone who bought up that "throwaway gasoline" at 3 cents a gallon 😂😂😂
Not Thomas Edison it's Tesla.
No, it's not 😂
Oil in the COVID vaccine? Glad I passed
They started using petroleum in our prescription medication. Thanks, Rockefeller. Literally don't know what we would have done without you.
it's so weird that the one industry that has damaged our planet the most also gave a second chance to animals that were headed to guaranteed extinction: whales
There is not 1 product on earth that isn’t affiliated with petroleum.
The first automobiles in the USA werent american made, they were German and French where they were essentially invented.
Americans started to build their own in the mid to late 1890s but Ford and the rest didnt start mass production until the 1920s.
We have basically been burning oil in increasingly large amounts now for around 100 years. Oil that took around 100 million years to lay down during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
We have put that carbon back into the air and oceans and the climate has begun drifting back to that Jurassic time which was much hotter than it is now.
lol
OK settle down climate soy boy.
Oil was supposed to run out for the last.....I don't now 50 years? Isn't it a miracle they just keep finding more, even so much as to manufacture batteries for electric cars that can never be recycled...ever..... they just bury em and walk away....that is if they down explode while your doing 100mph down the highway.
The promise of peak oil is a buisness stratergy to constantly drive the price up perpetually, amoung other things they tell you about why the price of fuel suddenly went up 1 dollar.
They have even worked out a way to tax us for the weather........and people like you buy it, hook line and sinker.
Oil literally is unlimited, they know how it's made in the earth's core.
It's not just layers of organic juices. It's much more complicated than that and we ain't supposed to know about it.
We are right where we are supposed to be, worrying about things we have zero control over.
Shed it.
Fossil fuel byproducts go into over 6,000 modern manufacturing materials, 99% all Pharmaceuticals, fertilizers and energy.
Let's go back to the 1800s 😂 those were amazing times.
:"Oil in your Covid Vaccine"
Me: 👁👄👁
He also changed medicine into a petroleum needing machine, ensuring his wealth
This was a great clip, right up to the end
💉
I challenge any of those clowns from Just stop oil to give up 100% of their oil use first. Their cell phones, their clothes, their food, everything that uses oil to be produced. THEN they can go out and start protesting it, if they can figure out how to get someplace to protest without a relationship to oil, like the asphalt in the road, or the trucks that used oil to deliver cement.
This makes no sense.
I think we’re overpopulated.
So, ill kill myself.
There are more efficient alternative ways to produce most of those things.
@@nexuscross3233 Great! Go do it! Because if it was more efficient, we'd all be doing it and the people making it efficient would get rich.
@@janofb Does your concept of efficiency take into consideration negative externalities or are you cost shifting?
why are you letting a cia psyop make you upset? if jso wanted clean energy theyd advocate for nuclear lol
Still holds true in Nigeria
John D. is responsible for not only saving the whales but also cleaning up all the Horse maneuvers from city streets. This has made our lives a lot cleaner and healthier.
John d rockfeler was preety cool
John D. Rockefeller was a jagoff and Nikola Tesla could've been a God. 'nuff said.
Please stop getting your knowledge from tiktok
Good dog ❤😂
“It’s in your COVID vaccine…”
What now?!
Almost too perfect, as if they all sat down at a table and planned it out 👁️
Gasoline absolutely was NOT a left over liquid derived from the process of boiling kerosene out of crude oil. NAPTHA was one of many resulting condensates derived from obtaining kerosene from crude oil. Naptha is the starting point for gasoline and is more closely related to drip condensate aka drip gas.
What causes coatings to feel really slick, and why does the slickness fade?
Henry Ford made a car from hemp that ran on hemp diesel but you flew right by that fact
absolutely. Fords biofuel vehicle could utilize gathered bio materials while traveling, and distill fuel on the road.
Wait so you’re telling me these men invented something to fill a void in the market and were compensated for it? Impossible must have been gotten through ill gotten means, inherited wealth or on the backs of the working class.
What about heating?
Actually, John D Rockefeller began producing gasoline after investing in his first oil refinery in Cleveland Ohio in 1863, just four years after the first oil well was drilled in Titusville Pennsylvania in 1859.
Gasoline a waste product , one man's trash is another's treasure
John D Rockefeller. Monkey D Luffy. So Rockefeller was a part of the D clan😂
That's why some of us never touched that vaccine 😂
Petroleum-synthesized chemicals are in everything, from food to cosmetics, lots of them in deodorants and perfumes, so many medicines were made possible by synthetic chemicals, etc. Petroleum has saved as many lives as it has destroyed
I think gasoline for cars was developed earlier than 40 years after he started the company
When I hear JDR I think of him ditching his ride on the titanic at the last minute so his competitors stayed and perished.
I think you’ll find Mr Swan from England came along and then there was light bulbs! First fully lit public building was the Savoy in England, 1200 bulbs.
Then Diesel came along to introduce engine runs on VEGETABLE OIL.
Kerosene was the safe illuminating oil. Gasoline was a dangerous byproduct. Till cars came along.
People think Diddy was in the music business, he was actually in the baby oil business😊
This is the channel!
And it's caused nothing but chaos since, wars, pollution and debt
Mason Verger doesn’t look too bad.
