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.

Bump for later.
Thanks for the post.
“It’s the Circle.....The Circle of Life....”
Imperial? Sheesh.
See? Perfect example. What you, from your position of white technological privilege, refer to as "lunch" was no doubt a sacred ritual to this noble culture. They saw it as a transfer of power given to them by their creator, an opportunity to receive, through rib roasts, shanks, pies and stews, the energy that would enable them to rise to the heights of developing their own form of fractional banking and maritime law.
So yes indeed, the rest of the developing world does see us as imperialists for hoarding this valuable storehouse of potential. And we only hurt ourselves - if we would just open up and share a few million bankers and lawyers with native peoples around the world, perhaps gifted through air drops, pre-trussed with attached seasoning packets, think of how much better off we would all be.
But no.
He seems like a very naive guy. Hey Mike, they ain’t smiling because they want their photo taken.
Coulda happened in Canada!
Rocky Mountain Oysters Rockefeller?
Not to mention that the savages were way ahead of their time, not being swayed by Rockefeller's White Privilege.
It was a cultural exchange.
In 1789 William Bligh and 18 crew members face savages like this constantly when they were set adrift in a 23 foot launch after the mutineers on the Bounty took over the ship. Not only in New Guinea but in the small islands that were scattered in the area. They would go ashore to try and collect fresh water and food and the natives would try to kill them, one crew member they did kill who got his head bashed in and the savages who chase the rest of them\ for miles in skiffs in the ocean. When they got close enough they would fire off their spears and arrows.

What, that’s the first time you ever saw a penis gourd? I can tell someone didn’t get his time in the john with the National Geographics....
He should have known he was in trouble when he asked them for a menu, and they handed him a mirror.
He came and went at the same time.
Just finished a exceptional book about an event in Dutch New Guinea at the end of WWII. I was a month old when it happened. The book is called Lost in Shangri-la.
Near the end of World War II, a plane carrying 24 members of the United States military, including nine Women’s Army Corps (WAC) members, crashed into the New Guinea jungle during a sightseeing excursion. 21 men and women were killed. The three survivors—a beautiful WAC, a young lieutenant who lost his twin brother in the crash, and a severely injured sergeant—were stranded deep in a jungle valley notorious for its cannibalistic tribes. They had no food, little water, and no way to contact their military base. The story of their survival and the stunning efforts undertaken to save them are the crux of Lost in Shangri-La.
The one that ate his penis was likely drinking Coke Cola with dinner.
It’s always been rumored he died at the hands of cannibals. My father was stationed in the Pacific during WWII and they were not allowed off post because of cannibalism.
True- there was also a halfbreed Chickamauga Cherokee leader who it’s been said ate some Virginians - in “the manner of the Iroquois” in order to strike fear into the settlers. His fellow Cherokee were revolted at first but he persuaded the ones in his group to join in. “Aw, come on, they’re 100% organic and GMO-free.”
