The public will finally get to see The Search for Michael Rockefeller Feb. 1 when Netflix releases the documentary on one of the most compelling unsolved mysteries of the 20th century.
The film confirms what The Post reported in 1968: Cannibals devoured the son of New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.

I wonder if he tasted like chicken?
Whoops! On first glance my eyes saw the GERBIL Survival/Bear Grylls Canteen Watter Bottle. Was going to take the discussion in a different direction altogether. :)
I don’t have the book at hand but from a google search it appears that “Kentucky Oysters” is an alternate term for chitlins (pigs intestines).
Did he get that hat after he ate a viking?
Gotcha - thanks!
Who says he didn’t go before he came?
OK, busted!
My brother and sister and I used to chase each other through the house after it was on was on yelling “yum yum, eat ‘ em up!” Every single time. :)
My favorite Little Rascals episode!
I might as well join in:
He got an inside look at their culture.
This is how demented Diamond is: he really believes that if you exchanged the people from an English city with the bone-in-their-noses, spear throwing, human flesh-eating people of New Guinea, within a few generations the transplanted people from New Guinea would be living and producing just like modern Brits while the transplanted English would be living like the savages in the jungles. This guy has got a lot loose screws.
Politically, all that is very true about Nelson Rockefeller, he was the RINO capo di tutti capi. But as far as the endowments, charities, museums, & all the other artsy-f@rsty stuff, Rocky was not one of the idle rich living off inherited wealth. He was a human dynamo & I recall that wide-gauge 1,000 watt grin appearing everywhere in the news.
But do the math; by the time of his death in early 1979 Rockefeller’s hopes for the GOP nomination in 1980 were forlorn. The Reaganites were insurgent & had already come within a whisker of snatching it away from Gerald Ford in 1976.
Anyway, I wonder if the New Guinea cannibals who had Michael Rockefeller for dinner were ever aware of his aristocratic pedigree. Unlike the `long pig’ they were accustomed to, his fair flesh must have been the Wagyu Kobe beef of human comestibles.
;^)
You’re right that he wasn’t stingy. A dedicated hater of conservatives, but generous with his wealth.
I say let’s send Rove, Romney and Jeb Bush to that island and see if the locals are ready for seconds.
He’s even wearing a bib....................
The bib is because he plans to dip him in clarified butter.
Yum!...................
