The House of Rothschild

The House of Rothschild
January 5, 2011 — Dean Henderson
The Rothschild family combined with the Dutch House of Orange to found Bank of
Amsterdam in the early 1600’s as the world’s first private central bank. Prince William of
Orange married into the English House of Windsor, taking King James II’s daughter Mary as
his bride. The Orange Order Brotherhood, which more recently fomented Northern Ireland
Protestant violence, put William III on the English throne where he ruled both Holland and
Britain. In 1694 William III teamed up with the Rothschilds to launch the Bank of England.
The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street- as the Bank of England is known- is surrounded by
thirty foot walls. Three floors beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is
stored. The biggest hoard lies beneath the Rothschild-controlled Federal Reserve Bank of New
York. According to the excellent movie The Money Masters, much of this gold was confiscated
from now-empty vaults at Fort Knox as collateral on US debt obligations to the Eight Families
Federal Reserve crowd.
This financial mafia further consolidated its control over the world’s gold stock when 200
million tons of the stuff belonging to the Bank of Nova Scotia was recovered from beneath the
carnage of the World Trade Center. One day after its November 1, 2001 recovery, New York
Mayor Rudy Guliani laid off hundreds of rescue workers at Ground Zero. A short time later he
was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and named Time magazine’s “Man of the Year”.
The daily London gold “fixing” occurs at the N. M. Rothschild Bank in the City of London.
Here, five of the Eight Families-linked banks unilaterally decide what the price of gold will be
each morning. Kleinwort Benson’s Sharps Pixley subsidiary is one of five firms. Another is
Mocatta Metals. It is majority-owned by Standard Chartered- the Cecil Rhodes-founded bank
whose Dubai branch wired Mohammed Atta the funds he needed to carry out the 911
operation.
According to British MP Michael Meacher in an article for The Guardian, Omar Saeed
Sheikh- the man who beheaded US journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002- was a British M-16 agent.
He says it was Sheikh who- at the behest of Pakistani ISI General Mahmood Ahmed- wired the
$100,000 to Mohammed Atta from Standard Chartered’s Dubai branch before 911. Meacher’s
claim has been corroborated by Dennis Lomel- director of FBI’s financial crimes unit- and by
an October 11, 2001 article in The Times of India. Mocatta Metals is also a favorite conduit for
Israeli Mossad financing.
Midland Bank subsidiary Samuel Montagu is a third London gold “fixer”. In 1999 Midland,
headquartered in cocaine-money infested Panama, was bought by the British oligarchycontrolled
HSBC- the old Hong Kong Shanghai Bank Corporation opium laundry and now the
world’s second largest bank. Midland is partially owned by the Kuwaiti al-Sabah monarchy.
The other two gold fixers are Johnson Matthey and N. M. Rothschild, both of which have
interlocking boards with Anglo-American and HSBC.
Anglo-American is the world’s third largest mining company. It is controlled by the
Rothschilds and South Africa’s Oppenheimer family. It owns both Engelhardt- which enjoys a
near monopoly in global gold refining- and the DeBeers diamond monopoly. The current De
Beers chairman is Nicky Oppenheimer. De Beers was indicted in 1994 for price-fixing by the
US Justice Department. To this day company officials do not set foot on US soil for fear they
may be nabbed by US authorities.
The Rothschilds also control BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, the two biggest global miners, as
well as Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Bank of America. As Bank of England Deputy Governor
George Blunden put it, “Fear is what makes the bank’s powers so acceptable. The bank is
able to exert its influence when people are dependent on us and fear losing their privileges or
when they are frightened.”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild sold the British government German Hessian mercenaries to
fight against American Revolutionaries, diverting the proceeds to his brother Nathan in
London, where N.M. (Nathan and Mayer) Rothschild & Sons was established. Mayer was a
serious student of Cabala and launched his fortune on money embezzled from William IXroyal
administrator of the Hesse-Kassel region and a prominent Freemason.
Rothschild-controlled Barings bankrolled the Chinese opium and African slave trades. It
financed the Louisiana Purchase. When several states defaulted on its loans, Barings bribed
Daniel Webster to make speeches stressing the virtues of loan repayment. The states held
their ground, so the House of Rothschild cut off the money spigot in 1842, plunging the US
into a deep depression. It was often said that the wealth of the Rothschilds depended on the
bankruptcy of nations. Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said, “I care not who controls a
nation’s political affairs, so long as I control her currency”.
War also enhanced the family fortune. The House of Rothschild financed the Prussian War,
the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal from the French. Nathan
Rothschild made a huge financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also funding
the Duke of Wellington’s peninsular campaign against Napoleon. Both the Mexican War and
the Civil War were goldmines for the family.
A Rothschild family biography mentions a London meeting where an “international banking
syndicate” decided to pit the American North against the South as part of a “divide and
conquer” strategy. German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once stated, “The division of the
United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War. These
bankers were afraid that the United States…would upset their financial domination over the
world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed.”
Rothschild biographer Derek Wilson says the family was the official European banker to the
US government via the Federal Reserve-precursor Bank of the United States. Family
biographer Niall Ferguson notes a “substantial and unexplained gap” in Rothschild
correspondence from 1854-1860. He says all copies of outgoing letters written by the London
Rothschilds during this Civil War period “were destroyed at the orders of successive partners”.
French and British troops had, at the height of the Civil War, encircled the US. The British
sent 11,000 troops to Crown-controlled Canada, which gave safe harbor to Confederate
agents. France’s Napoleon III installed Austrian Hapsburg family member Archduke
Maximilian as his puppet emperor in Mexico, where French troops massed on the Texas
border. Only an 11th-hour deployment of two Russian warship fleets by US ally Czar
Alexander II in 1863 saved the United States from re-colonization. That same year
the Chicago Tribune blasted, “Belmont (August Belmont was a US Rothschild agent and had a
Triple Crown horse race named in his honor) and the Rothschilds…who have been buying up
Confederate war bonds.”
President Abraham Lincoln- now aware of the Eight Families-controlled Bank of the United
States plot- countered by issuing Greenbacks from the US Treasury. The London bankers
were fuming. Salmon Rothschild stated derisively of President Lincoln, “He rejects all forms of
compromise. He has the appearance of a peasant and can only tell barroom stories.”
Lincoln was soon assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, who was whisked away from Ford
Theatre by members of a secret society known as Knights of the Golden Circle. Booth’s
granddaughter later wrote This One Mad Act, in which she details Booth’s contacts with
“mysterious Europeans” just before the Lincoln assassination.
Baron Jacob Rothschild was equally flattering towards the US citizenry. He once
commented to US Minister to Belgium Henry Sanford on the over half a million Americans who
died during the Civil War, “When your patient is desperately sick, you try desperate measures,
even to bloodletting.”
Salmon and Jacob were merely carrying forth a family tradition. A few generations earlier
Mayer Amschel Rothschild bragged of his investment strategy, “When the streets of Paris are
running in blood, I buy”.
Mayer Rothschild’s sons were known as the Frankfurt Five. Amschel ran the family’s
Frankfurt bank with his father, while Nathan ran London operations. Youngest son Jacob set
up shop in Paris, while Salomon ran the Vienna branch and Karl the branch in Naples. Author
Frederick Morton estimates that by 1850 the Rothschilds were worth over $10 billion. The old
axiom “money begets more money” certainly holds true. Researchers believe that the
Rothschild fortune today exceeds $100 trillion.
The Warburgs, Kuhn Loebs, Goldman Sachs, Schiffs and Rothschilds have intermarried into
one big happy banking family. The Warburg family- which controls Deutsche Bank
and Banque Paribas- tied up with the Rothschilds in 1814 in Hamburg, while Kuhn Loeb
powerhouse Jacob Schiff shared quarters with Rothschilds in 1785. Schiff immigrated to
America in 1865. He joined forces with Abraham Kuhn and married Solomon Loeb’s
daughter. Loeb and Kuhn married each others sisters and the Kuhn Loeb dynasty was
consummated. Felix Warburg married Jacob Schiff’s daughter. Two Goldman daughters
married two sons of the Sachs family, creating Goldman Sachs. In 1806 Nathan Rothschild
married the oldest daughter of Levi Barent Cohen, a leading financier in London. The Cohen
family was now part of the club.
Today the Rothschild’s control a far-flung financial empire, which includes majority stakes
in nearly all the world’s central banks. The Edmond de Rothschild clan owns the Banque
Privee SA in Lugano, Switzerland and the Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich. The family of Jacob
Lord Rothschild owns the powerful Rothschild Italia in Milan. They are members of the
exclusive Club of the Isles, which provides capital for George Soros’ Quantum Fund NV.
Quantum made a killing in 1998-1999 destroying the currencies of Thailand, Indonesia and
Russia. Soros was a major shareholder in George W. Bush’s Harken Energy.
Quantum NV handles $11-14 billion in assets and operates from the Dutch island of
Curacao, in the shadow of massive Royal Dutch/Shell and Exxon Mobil refineries. Curacao was
recently cited by an OECD Task Force on Money Laundering as a major drug money laundering
nation. The Club of Isles group which funds Quantum is led by the Rothschilds and includes
Queen Elizabeth II and other wealthy European aristocrats and Black Nobility. Fugitive Swiss
financier and Mossad cutout Marc Rich, whose business interests were recently taken over by
the Russian mafia Alfa Group, is also part of the Soros network. Rich was pardoned by
President Clinton as he exited the White House.
Ties to drug money are nothing new to the Rothschilds. N. M. Rothschild & Sons was at
the epicenter of the BCCI scandal, but escaped the limelight when a warehouse full of
documents conveniently burned to the ground around the time the Rothschild-controlled Bank
of England shut BCCI down. The Rothschild’s Bank of America provided the seed money to
launch BCCI.
Perhaps the largest repository for Rothschild wealth today is Rothschilds Continuation
Holdings AG- a secretive Swiss bank holding company. By the late 1990s scions of the
Rothschild global empire were Barons Guy and Elie de Rothschild in France and Lord Jacob and
Sir Evelyn Rothschild in Britain. Evelyn is chairman of the Economist.
If we wish we make the world a better place and to usher in a new consciousness; we
must study, discuss and expose the source of global warfare, depopulation schemes, oiladdiction,
drug addiction, poverty and environmental degradation. The head of the serpent is
the House of Rothschild.
