The United Nations Headquarters complex was constructed in New York City in 1949 and 1950 beside the East River, on 17 acres (69,000 m
2) of land purchased from the foremost New York real estate developer of the time,
William Zeckendorf.
Nelson Rockefeller arranged this purchase,
after an initial offer to locate it on the
Rockefeller family estate of
Kykuit was rejected as being too isolated from Manhattan.
The $8.5 million purchase was then funded by his father,
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who donated it to the City.
The lead architect for the building was the real estate firm of
Wallace Harrison,
the personal architectural adviser for the family.
In his book
Memoirs, published in 2002, David Rockefeller, Sr. made the following remarks, startling in their very frankness:
"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents
such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family
for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions.
Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States,
characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists'
and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure
-- one world, if you will.
If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years.
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years.
But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government.
The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
