  1. The Rockefeller Family donated the land.  It is international territory and it is not owned per se by anyone other than the United Nations.


  2. It's not in the United States. It's considered "international territory".

  3. Elite bloodlines,and yes,Rockefeller donated the land.http://www.jeremiahproject.com/newworldo...

  4. The UN owns it, and no they do not pay property taxes, they are excluded being an international governmental organization.

  5. The site of UN Headquarters is owned by the United Nations. It is an international territory. No federal, state or local officer or official of the United States, whether administrative, judicial, military or police may enter UN Headquarters except with the consent of and under conditions agreed to by the Secretary-General of the Organization.

    However, the United Nations is bound by an agreement with its host country to prevent its Headquarters from being used as a refuge for persons who are avoiding arrest under the federal, state or local laws of the United States or who are required by the Government of the United States for extradition to another country or who are trying to avoid the servicing of a legal process.

    On the site, the UN has its own fire fighting and security forces and its own post office branch, with special provision for UN stamps. The buildings were constructed in a manner agreeable to the City of New York, in terms of fire and safety, but not necessarily according to all city laws.
