Seldom mentioned, although known: the Rockefellers own and operate Arkansas, a very poor, backward state that is quite sizeable with a comparatively small population. Several terms before Bill Clinton held that position, Winthrop Rockefeller was Arkansas Governor; Winthrop being the grandson of John Davison Rockefeller, founder of what some call the evil empire of Standard Oil. By U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1910, based on Rockefeller's corrupt and violent monopoly practices, the Standard Oil Trust was broken into various parts. Although the names of the resulting parts have been changed around to confuse naive people, the Rockefellers still control them all, such as Standard Oil of New Jersey, now called Exxon; Standard Oil of Indiana, now called Amoco, and Standard Oil of Ohio, now merged with interests of the British royal family and called British Petroleum; and so on.
The person now known as Bill Clinton: his maternal grandmother, believed to be quite a beauty, and reportedly having some link to British royalty, had a great love affair with Winthrop Rockefeller. Hence, Bill Clinton is apparently the illegitimate great grandson of old John D. Rockefeller. Another great grandson is John D. Rockefeller IV, called Jay, to be cute. Is Jay a secret power co-conspirator with Bill Clinton or a rival for occupying the White House?
Up to now, Bill Clinton's background, as portrayed by the Rockefeller-controlled monopoly press, is apparently just another fairy tale of a kid from a nothing place, Hope, Arkansas, somehow rising to high position by great effort and merit. A recent book points out that Bill Clinton was moreso linked with Hot Springs, Arkansas, and was dominated by his uncle Raymond Clinton. The uncle was a wealthy and influential so-called "auto dealer" (some contend that sometimes is the title or role of the local or regional bagman) with ties to the Ku Klux Klan and organized crime. Along with other figures from the vice-ridden, mob-controlled Hot Springs of the 1940s and 1950s, Uncle Raymond financed Bill Clinton's first campaigns.

Bill Clinton-- is that supposed to be funny? It is statements like that, that makes it obvious that you get your heavy dose of Fox News on a daily basis.

Class conflict is the defining tool of Marxists for implementing social change. Marx insisted that class conflict was the major source of social change and Marxists don't stand around waiting for conflict to arise among the masses. They foment it.
Also, there are all kinds of classes, not just economic classes, so any old demographic will do as long as conflict can be incited.
Race, gender, sexual orientation, age, region, religion, you name it and there's a Marxist out there looking to exploit it for its incendiary value.

Sorry, but this is just not true. Marx was only interested in the struggle between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and this conflict was a predicted, inevitable force. Not something that can be "formented" (i think you meant fermented) by individuals over the grounds of age, gender or race.

...your assertion that "there's a Marxist out there looking to exploit it for its incendiary value" is nothing more than reactionary sensationalist nonsense.
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
