The snake-oil medicine of con-man “Dr. William Levingstone” led to modern CBW deployments.

From “Devil Bill” William Avery Rockefeller, Sr. to allopathic medicine, and chemical biological warfare “controlled chemical releases“, learn the origin story of the unregulated petrochemical industry in North America’s Appalachian region and the special military mix of pesticides, infamously named “Agent Orange”, and the domination of medicine with modern allopathy and petrochemical pharmaceuticals.
CHAPTER THREE –
“How ‘Ya Like Them Apples.”
Part One – The Land in Hand
Devil Pill bought and sold horses, and even bought a barge-load of salt in Syracuse, per courthouse records. Land speculation was his most profitable endeavor, and the selling of his Dr. Levingstone “standard” elixirs provided the cash-in-hand and also was his way of scouting of new lands to wheel and deal, and steal. He loaned to farmers at twelve percent, lending to those who could not pay, ensuring foreclose and more of the land in hand. The countless farms swindled up by Rockefeller across Up-state New York, to this day are either still held by the Rockefeller family or managed by Family Trusts and New York State Forestry.
By 1863, Devil Pill’s sons, John D. and Bill Jr, had started a business at the Excelsior Works in Cleveland Ohio, partnering with chemist, Samuel Adams, and three others, S.V. Harkness, Henry M. Flagler, and Bill Jr’s brother-in-law, Oliver Burr Jennings. The Cuyahoga River would never be the same, as the Rockefeller refinery works grew by leaps and bounds. Critical to the business success were the special deals, many in secret, with the railroads and canals for the transport of the oil products at extreme discounts.
In fact, within just five years (1868), a part of the New York Central Railroad network, namely the Lake Shore Railroad, would give his boys the going rate of a gallon for a penny or a barrel for forty-two, saving the Rockefellers 71% from full shipping price. For their part, they promised at least 60 daily carloads of oil, filling and emptying the tanker cars themselves. Just seven years later, John D. outgrew and dissolved the initial partnership, and incorporated the Standard Oil Company and Trust on January 10th, 1870, which would continue to grow until the 1911 breakup by the federal government into 34 subsidiaries per the Sherman Anti-trust Act of 1890.

Part Two – Great Fury on Lake Erie
The Rockefeller behemoth monopoly began with oil products and cracking carbons on Lake Erie, and diversified into railroads and shipping lines, being in perfect position to control the oil market long before the discovery of Texas’ massive spindletop oil festival in 1901. By 1882, John D. had delegated much to his Vice-president and top aide at Standard Oil, John Dustin Archbold. He left the reins of the company in Archbold’s hands after essentially retiring in 1896 to focus on his so-called philanthropy, which is quite the euphemism for eugenics. Other trustees at Standard Oil, became railroad barons in their own right, with Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway and resorts, notably Palm Beach and Miami Beach, and with Henry Huttleston Rogers and his Virginian Railway. After the break-up, Standard Oil of New Jersey, the biggest of the 34 pieces was helmed by Archbold until his death in 1916. In 1926, Jersey Standard rebranded as Esso, a phoneticized form of “S.O.” for Standard Oil, and then again rebranded as Exxon in 1974, currently ExxonMobil Corporation since the 1999 merger.
