mark seal is the author of "the man in the rockefeller suit."he joins us now. good afternoon, mark. >> good afternoon. >> what is it about these imposters who seem capable of persuading the world's greatest art dealers, even down to their own spouses, of an entirely different identity? >> well, i think they tell you what you want to hear, and this man was extremely smart. i mean, he was a stockbroker on wall street. he said he was a baronet. he was a hollywood producer he said. he had a great art collection. so he had all the trappings of wealth and success. also he had a great gift of gab and people wanted to believe him. >> but, mark, you've got a storied career as an investigative journalist. you don't simultaneously claim to be a journalist, to be a marvelous chef, to own a series of hotels. you have never done that. how is it that these people are possible to conflate 16, 17 different professions and everyone believes them? >> they they ever do it at once. they move from one step to the other and in this man's case, each one had more grandi

>> thank you, senator rockefeller. i was struck by -- i think it is important if some of those questions being raised, it is really important that they be addressed here. i wasn't planning to, but i want to use the time because we got a problem here in trying to get a general consensus to try to pass legislation if there is not a baseline level of understanding or acceptance. toomey is at another hearing but i want to record to at least reflect the answers to this and i know his staff will help make sure that he sees them. he stated very clearly the question -- he raised the question whether or not this is a solution in search of a problem and in addition wondering what the harm is out there. i think it is really important for the three of you to address that very directly. what is the harm? is there harm or isn't there harm? is this worth a national response? is it imperative to have a national response? if so, can one be constructed without the unintended consequences? i've been on this committee for a long time now

senator kerry. >> thank you, senator rockefeller. i was struck by the opening comments of senator toomey, ranking member of the subcommittee but it is important, if those questions are being raised, that they be addressed here. i was not planning to, but i want to use the time, because we have a problem in trying to get a general consensus and pass legislation if there is not a baseline level of understanding or acceptance of what we're dealing with. as senator toomey, who, in fairness, is at another hearing that he has to be in the banking committee, but i want to reflect the answers to this at night will have staff make sure he sees them -- he raised the question of whether or not this is a solution in search of our problem. in addition, he wondered what the harm is out there. i think it is important for the three of you to address that really directly to it is their farm, or isn't there are? -- address that relate directly. is there harm or isn't there harm? i have been on this committee for a long time now, and i've fought dilige

i think senator rockefeller's approach is a good one, strong one, important one. it is one component of it. i do think that beyond that we still have to deal with this question of choice over how your information is managed, even if you do consent. so i think that what we have put forward is a comprehensive bipartisan proposal as a starting point. mr. chairman, i think it is critical to work with you, senator kay bailey hutchison and others on the committee in order to bring more people to the table, and i certainly look forward to doing that. i do want to point out that at the moment sort of in the center of this debate there are a couple of polls. in the center you have major companies like intel, microsoft, ebay, hewlett-packard as well as consumer advocates presented by the consumers union, others who are helping us to try to focus this in the right direction. finally, you know, we have expert agencies represented here today, the federal trade commission, department of commerce, federal communications commission who have all been doing what they can to protect

well you look at david rockefeller his family funded the creation of the united nations gave them the land to build the u.n. in new york the builder group is always pushing to get rid of national sovereignty and transfer to the private i.m.f. world bank private cell reserve and now we see that with president obama going along with nato the attack on libya and saying it would last days not weeks in line and saying his authority comes from the u.n. he doesn't need the authority of congress which to clear violation of the constitution that's similar to caesar marching estridge across the rubicon into rome or the two thousand years ago this is classical tyranny and it is it's this move globally for standardized laws that are created at the corporate level of just last week wiki leaks released documents on the north american union meetings that ban canada in two thousand and six judicial watch and sued previously and got some of the documents and they talk about stealth these are quotes stealth north american integration and then merging that with europe so this is a global corporate gover

rockefeller and j. p. morgan became the leader of our finance establishment that wielded more day-to-day power than the government itself. without the inconvenience obligation to answer to the judgment of any electorate. p. morgan. morgan och conservatives became wedded to the idea that unfettered capitalism was indispensable to the survival of democracy. that marriage has in toward. these were ingrained ideas raised to the level of feel logical dogma with little apparent concern for their intensely materialist character. these are ideas roosevelt challenged and discarded and thereby he saved both capitalism and democracy. this conservatives have never accepted and how he did it they have never forgiven. roosevelt's new deal, his revolution in some way became the victim of its own success. it produced a new and broader definition of middle class. it opened opportunities for working class and especially the uncounted numbers of the children of the working class to live well and prosper. it created a new gen

rockefeller, richest man in the history of the world and it was said about him that he had done everything to the pennsylvania state legislature except for refine it. the legislatures were literally owned by the corporations and they chose the senators. so the senate was owned by corporations. and you know, warren harding in 1921, when there was union strikes in west virginia, 10,000 union workers, he asked the united states air force to drop bombs on them. and he was in the pocket of the coal industry. that's what happened. we lost our democracy. how did it get restored? a few really courageous journalists who are doing what you are doing today, like sinclaire and you had politicians back then, teddy roosevelt, who was willing to stand up to what he called the benefactors of great wealth and put the bit into the mouths -- they passed a graduated income tax that forced corporations to pay their fair share. they passed union laws and allowed unions to organize which created the middle class in this country and created the prosperity and stability that made american democracy the envy of the
