The Rise of the House of Rothschild

Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws
— Mayer Amschel Rothschild, 1838

The Rothschild name is familiar to some, but how many are aware of the stature of this
banking family and the impact it has had on the world?
The Rothschild’s family name was Bauer; however, the family’s patriarch, Mayer
Amschel Rothschild, changed the name to represent the distinctive mark that Jewish businesses
were compelled to display to identify them as such.
The mark was a rotschildt, or red shield; hence the name Rothschild.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild rose to prominence after parlaying his father’s coin
dealership into the creation of such diversified businesses as importing and winemaking.
But the major stroke that Rothschild succeeded in pulling off was based on his
relationship to Prince William IX of Hesse-Kassel, who had inherited from his father what was
reported to have been the largest private fortune in Europe.
After the turn of the nineteenth century and the invasion of Germany by Napoleon’s
army, William left his money to Rothschild and fled to Denmark. Rothschild then assumed the
role of William’s banker and executed two fabled moves that ensconced the family as Europe’s
preeminent banking house:
The first scam involved the Battle of Waterloo.
With Wellington about to engage Napoleon, Rothschild, on information from his agents,
knew that Napoleon was about to be defeated, but spread word throughout London that
Napoleon appeared to be on his way to victory.
Rothschild then sold his holdings in the English stock market, starting a panic. After the
market crashed, Rothschild agents began buying up the devalued stocks and when official word
finally reached England that Napoleon had indeed been beaten by Wellington, stocks soared,
giving Rothschild control over the British economy.
This form of manufactured crash has been repeated time and again in the United States
and has resulted in the American elites’ continual control over our economy and, therefore, our
government as well at the expense—literally—of the American people, the suckers the elites
have preyed on for over a century.
The second Rothschild gambit also involved the Battle of Waterloo.
According to David Allan Rivera’s Final Warning: A History of the New World Order,
“Mayer Amschel Rothschild sent some of William’s money to his son Nathan in London, and
according to the Jewish Encyclopedia: ‘Nathan invested it in 800,000 pounds of gold from the
East India Company, knowing it would be needed for Wellington’s peninsula campaign. He
made no less than four profits: (1) on the sale of Wellington’s paper (which he bought at 50 cents
on the dollar); (2) on the sale of gold to Wellington; (3) on its repurchase; and (4) on forwarding
it to Portugal. This was the beginning of the great fortune.’”
Rothschild also profited in the aftermath of Napoleon’s reign. With France securing loans
in 1817 to aid in its rebuilding, Rothschild began buying French government bonds, which
increased their value.
In a move that was somewhat the reverse of what had been pulled off in London,
Rothschild then dumped the bonds, causing another panic and the cornering of the French
economy.
The Rothschilds were now fully in control of two nations, but the family wasn’t done just
yet.
They would go on to establish banks beyond England and France into Germany, Austria,
and Italy, controlling a fortune in excess of $300,000,000.
This banking family has been reputed to have financed European railroads, coal, and
ironworks; England’s purchase of the Suez Canal; oil exploration in Russia and the Sahara
Desert; the financing of the czars of Russia; Cecil Rhodes’ diamond operations; France’s
colonizing of Africa; the Hapsburg monarchs; and the Vatican, who they purported to have saved
from bankruptcy.
Regarding the Vatican bailout, Burke McCarty, in her 1929 book, The Suppressed Truth
About the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln, did state that, though the Rothschilds rescued the
Vatican, the latter had amassed enough wealth from that time onward to amass a fortune
dwarfing that of the Rothschild banking families.
Rivera goes on to write that the Rothschilds financed Rockefeller, Carnegie, and
Harriman—the core group of the Robber Barons who created tax exempt foundations whose goal
was to bring the U.S. into a one-world government, which is happening before our eyes.
And, too, it is alleged that the Rothschilds have financed both sides of all warring
factions from the time of the American Revolution onward.
This is just a cursory look at the role bankers have played and continue to play in global
intrigues.
If you take a step back and look at the real winners in every global conflagration, you will
find that it’s not the victorious army, but the bankers, financiers, and industrialists.
You’re witnessing it now in our military’s operations in the Middle East.
Do you realize how many U.S. companies are raking in the filthy lucre that war
generates?
To play on a line from a Bob Marley song, it’s this plain:
No bankers. No war.
