1870: 31-year-old man in Cleveland controls 4% of America's oil refining. 1880: Controls 90%. 1904: Controls 91% of oil production, 85% of final sales. His name: John D. Rockefeller. The system he built didn't die when Standard Oil was broken up in 1911. It evolved, spread, and controls your life RIGHT NOW in 2025.
The gasoline you pump. Drugs you buy. Tech platforms you use. Food you eat. Banks you borrow from. Every single one uses the Rockefeller playbook. Vertical integration, horizontal consolidation, regulatory capture, tax-exempt foundations shaping policy, market dominance so complete competition becomes impossible. Rockefeller didn't just build an oil empire. He built the architecture of modern corporate control. And you cannot escape it.

You guys this is done very well. 23 minute video. I placed it in the technology section as "the technology of capitalism." Rather eye opening and very simple and easy to follow flow. Here is on of the comments from this video posted just a month ago...
