This paper, “Michael Rockefeller Faked his Death” by Miles Mathis, published on June 1, 2025, argues that Michael Rockefeller did not die in New Guinea as is commonly believed. Mathis presents photographic evidence, claiming that images of Michael Rockefeller with Asmat Natives are faked, pointing to inconsistencies in lighting, shadows, and perspective, and suggesting Michael Rockefeller was “pasted in.” Mathis also debunks the widely accepted narrative of Michael Rockefeller’s death, which involves a capsized canoe and his alleged consumption by cannibals, deeming it “absurd” and noting that the Asmat have denied the story.
Mathis further posits that Michael Rockefeller, who was the son of Nelson Rockefeller, was a Harvard graduate and had Army photography training. Mathis suggests that this training, combined with his Harvard education, would have allowed him to be an officer, not a private, and to create the fake photographs himself. Mathis theorizes that Michael Rockefeller faked his death as part of a covert operation, possibly to operate underground with his father, and that he adopted a disguise, including wearing glasses. Mathis also draws a parallel to his previous work on the Kennedys, suggesting that Nelson Rockefeller may have also faked his death around the same time, with later appearances of Nelson Rockefeller being a double. This theory is supported by perceived discrepancies in Nelson Rockefeller’s appearance over time, similar to Mathis’s belief about Steven Hawking.
The author also includes a fund drive request, asking for donations via Paypal, check to PO Box 335, Garden Valley CA 95633, Amazon gift cards, or cat food, and expresses a preference for silver, particularly Mercury dimes. Mathis explicitly states he does not accept Bitcoin.
