"Billionaire philanthropist David Rockefeller has undergone successfully his sixth heart transplant in 42 years at the venerable age of 99 years old. The heart transplant surgery, which lasted 6 hours and was done by a team of private surgeons at his principal residence, on the family estate in Pocantico Hills, New York, doesn’t seem to have tired the legendary business man known for his dynamism and cunningness.
His first heart transplant occurred in 1976 after a dramatic car accident led him to suffer a heart attack. He was operated 24 hours later and up and jogging a week later. David Rockefeller will be resting for the next weeks in his Hanuatu Island complex after he underwent successfully his sixth heart transplant in 42 years at the venerable age of 99.
The 99-year old man allowed reporters to ask him a few questions only 36 hours after the operation, a testament to the sturdy health of the American icon. «Every time I get a new heart, it is like the breath of life is swept across my body. I feel reenergized and alive» he told reporters. "
You can take a photo and subtly twist it wicked or angelic. One of these days, I'm going to create a photo manipulation contest - the rule is, you have have to use your own face. From any age. Photo shop or gimp that face to a wickedness... i.e. demon eye the whites. Push up corners on the lips to curl it.
Then Photoshop or gimp it to the beauty. Clear up imperfections. Show the best coloring. Give your photo that magazine cover quality... The Rockerfellers have contributed to the world - right? Try to deny it! What's wrong with where we are at anyways? Today in this world. A precipice? When isn't Humanity poised to jump like fools?
Instead of heaping blame on the shoulders of others - we need to be demanding new ways and answers to old problems.
The Rocker fellers - they are people. Not a problem. They deserve a right to life just like you and me!
Do they get the best that money and medicine have to offer? Probably, but they do give a lot back also. Look at The Disclosure Project. Don't be jealous!
That picture should be one showing the best of David Rockerfeller. I think it's a miracle he's a walking with us still today. It gives us all hope to live longer and longer lives not very far into our future.
Congrats Mr. Rockerfeller

Don't you just love the way a report is laid out that attempts to make a seemingly-selfish wealth-orientated act of staying alive, more palatable to the reader?!!
Let' see if I can aspire to such prose.
The man is 99 years-old. In that time, he has amassed a great amount of power and influence by the use of a commodity that is envied and craved for by most of his fellow-species. Money.
Granted, he may have given huge sums of this money to noble causes and possibly changed the lives of many for the better. The many charities and businesses he has interacted with will owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Rockefeller and his advice and commerce-nous has led the way in assisting the innumerably-faceted aspects of our captilised world.
When one takes on the responsibility of controlling currencies and ergo, others lives, this duty brings one into areas that the average person will not initially, fully appreciate.
Mr. Rockefeller has his finger on the pulse of the financial world and it's heart beats to his desired tempo. Homes have been acquired by families wishing to have a home. Businesses are created by those of us who are willing to take a chance and schools and hospitals are built because of this old man's help.
'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility' Uncle Ben told the world and it is true. Mr Rockefeller knows this.
99 years-old. A sixth heart and the hope to live for 200 hundred years. Oh, the man is a brick. A Brick - I say!
Also, he has managed to house and feed his family. He has been lucky to have a small time away -just as many men have, to enjoy that family. The family unit is an important part of a person's life, it brings a confidence and determination that will help you go further, do better for the next generation and maybe even the next one.
We strive to aid those around us and with this new organ, Mr. Rockefeller will no doubt, be back at the financial coal-face very soon and once more, making a difference to all our lives.
The overriding principle here is someone can afford something the other can't. This happens at every level. Should I go hungry because I am lucky enough to have been born here where I can drive 5 minutes to a market and buy any food I want, while children of the world go without food and water? Where most of us have running water in the house. etc. We take a lot for granted here By most terms I would think the US and it's citizens at every level even welfare recipients are rich.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but consider a family is Africa living in a grass hut carrying water, going without food and hunting to survive, gathering wood for cooking fire. While we open the frig, yell at the spouse for being out of eggs, not having anything to go with your bacon, and all the strawberry jam is gone. Our outhouse is in house, in my case I probably have at minimum 6 months of food without stretching stored and none of this freeze dried crapola, generator, gas, nice vehicles, my BOB (Thats Bug Out Bag not battery operated boyfriend) probably cost more than their life's savings.
I don't begrudge Rockefeller a heart because he can afford it, no this way of life has caused countries to be overturned, revolutions, divisions in power, and even presidents to divide people based on income while they themselves are wildly rich. It has always been this way, from day two. In reality not much has changed in this regard since the dawn of time. I want what you have lets kill each other in the most disgusting ways over it. Then lets rinse and repeat for a few thousand years.
The next time you're in the market buying a nice steak for dinner, put it down, and donate that money to a food charity. Or grab some Kingsford brickets and enjoy. Just remember you awful person I want a bite.
My sincere apologies to anyone who was offended by this thread. I had him confused with the Rothchilds. Duh!
I have sent a request that this thread be deleted to @snarky412,. If any other MOD sees this post first, please do the honors.
You didn't offend anyone and tuff shit if they got offended. That's their problem. He has donated over a half a billion to charity since something like the 1900's. It doesn't excuse him for the federal reserve. What he is doing in getting another heart is distasteful not criminal. That offends you MW and that's ok. I am just saying it is our world and it has existed this way since day two. What is they always say "Karma is a bitch". No worries.

50 bucks the heart belonged to a virgin underaged boy.
Seriously tho, with his wealth he probably is 50 years ahead of us in terms of experimental medical treatment. He probably has a cure for aids and cancer lying in his desk.
If I was that wealthy, medical stuff would be the first thing I would invest in.

Having worked for rich people a good portion of my life, if I was that rich I would give most of it away. Rich people are always the most miserable people I have met.
