"Money is Power", or shall we say, "The Monopoly to Create Credit Money and charge interest is Absolute Power". (Alex James)

Amsel (Amschel) Bauer Mayer Rothschild, 1838:

"Let me issue and control a Nation's money and I care not who makes its laws".

Letter written from London by the Rothschilds to their New  York agents introducing their banking method into America:  "The few who can understand the system will be either so  interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours,  that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on  the other hand, that great body of people, mentally  incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that  Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden  without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting  that the system is inimical to their interests." 

Nathan Rothschild said to the Commons Secret Committee on  the question early in 1819: "In what line of business are  you? - Mostly in the foreign banking line. "Have the  goodness to state to the Committee in detail, what you  conceive would be the consequence of an obligation imposed  upon the Bank [of England, which he owned] to resume cash  payments at the expiration of a year from the present time?  - I do not think it can be done without very great distress  to this country; it would do a great deal of mischief;  we may not actually know ourselves what mischief it might  cause. "Have the goodness to explain the nature of the  mischief, and in what way it would be produced? - Money  will be so very scarce, every article in this country will  fall to such an enormous extent, that many persons will  be ruined." 

The director of the Prussian Treasury wrote on a visit to  London that Nathan Rothschild had as early as 1817: "..,  incredible influence upon all financial affairs here in  London. It is widely stated.., that he entirely regulates  the rate of exchange in the City. His power as a banker is  enormous". 

Austrian Prince Mettemich's secretary wrote of the  Rothschilds, as early as 1818, that: "... they are the  richest people in Europe." 

Referring to James Rothschild, the poet Heinrich Heine  said: "Money is the god of our times, and Rothschild is his  prophet." 

James Rothschild built his fabulous mansion, called  Ferrilres, 19 miles north-east of Paris. Wilhelm I, on  first seeing it, exclaimed: "Kings couldn't afford this. It  could only belong to a Rothschild!" 

Author Frederic Morton wrote that the Rothschilds had:  "conquered the World more thoroughly, more cunningly, and  much more lastingly than all the Caesars before..." 

As Napoleon pointed out: "Terrorism, War & Bankruptcy are  caused by the privatization of money, issued as a debt and  compounded by interest "- he cancelled debt and interest in  France - hence the Battle of Waterloo. 

Some writers have claimed that Nathan Rothschild "warned  that the United States would find itself involved in a most  disastrous war if the bank's charter were not renewed."  (do you see the similarities here? If you don't play the  game an economic disaster will fall on you and you will be  destroyed.) 

"There is but one power in Europe and that is Rothschild."  19th century French commentator. 

Lord Rothschild (Rockefellers and Rothschilds' relatives)  in his book The Shadow of a Great Man quotes a letter sent  from Davidson on June 24, 1814 to Nathan Rothschild, "As  long as a house is like yours, and as long as you work  together with your brothers, not a house in the world will  be able to compete with you, to cause you harm or to take  advantage of you, for together you can undertake and  perform more than any house in the world." The closeness of  the Rothschild brothers is seen in a letter from Soloman  (Salmon) Rothschild to his brother Nathan on Feb. 28, 1815,  "We are like the mechanism of a watch: each part is  essential." (2) This closeness is further seen in that of  the 18 marriages made by Mayer Amschel Rothschild's  grandchildren - 16 were contracted between first cousins. 

"Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by  means of a national bank with state capital and an  exclusive monopoly." The Communist Manifesto. In the case  of the Bolshevik revolution, Rothschilds/ Rockefellers'  Chase Bank owned the state. In the US, the FED owners  "own" the state. 

Rothschilds' favorite saying who along with the  Rockefellers are the major Illuminati Banking Dynasties:  "Who controls the issuance of money controls the  government!" 

Nathan Rothschild said (1777-1836): "I care not what puppet  is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire. The  man who controls Britain's money supply controls the  British Empire and I control the British money supply." 

Rockefeller is reported to have said: "Competition is a  sin". "Own nothing. Control everything". Because he wants  to centralize control of everything and enslave us all,  i.e. the modern Nimrod or Pharaoh. 

The Rothschild were behind the colonization and occupations  of India and the Rothschild owned British Petroleum was  granted unlimited rights to all offshore Indian oil, which  is still valid till this day. 

"Give me the control of the credit of a nation, and I care  not who makes the laws." The famous boastful statement of  Nathaniel Meyer Rothschild, speaking to a group of  international bankers, 1912: "The few who could understand  the system (cheque, money, credits) will either be so  interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours,  that there will be no opposition from that class, while on  the other hand, the great body of people, mentally  incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that  capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens  without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that  the system is inimical to their interests." The boastful  statement by Rothschild Bros. of London. 

These people are the top masterminds and conspired for the  creation of illegal FEDERAL RESERVE BANK in 1913: Theodore  Roosevelt, Paul Warburg - Representative Of Rothschild,  Woodrow Wilson - U.S. President Signed FED Into Act, Nelson  W. Aldrich - Representative Of Rockefeller, Benjamin Strong  - Representative Of Rockefeller, Frank A. Vanderlip -  Representative Of Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller -  Rockefeller Himself, Henry Davison - Representative Of J.  P. Morgan, Charles Norton - Representative Of J. P. Morgan. 

In the last century, members of the British Fabian Society  dynastic banking families in the City of London financed  the Communist takeover of Russia. Trotsky in his biography  refers to some of the loans from these British financiers  going back as far as 1907. By 1917 the major subsidies and  funding for the Bolshevik Revolution were co-ordinated and  arranged by Sir George Buchanan and Lord Alfred Milner. [no  doubt using money from Cecil Rhodes' South African gold and  diamond legacy - Ed] The Communist system in Russia was a  "British experiment" designed ultimately to become the  Fabian Socialist model for the British takeover of the  World through the UN and EU. The British plan to takeover  the World and bring in a "New World Order" began with the  teachings of John Ruskin and Cecil Rhodes at Oxford  University. Rhodes in one of his wills in 1877 left his  vast fortune to Lord Nathan Rothschild as trustee to set up  the Rhodes Scholarship Program at Oxford to indoctrinate  promising young graduates for the purpose, and also  establish a secret society [Royal Institute of  International Affairs RIIA, which branched into the Round  Table, the Bilderbergers, the CFR, the Trilateral, etc --  Ed] for leading business and banking leaders around the  World who would work for the City to bring in their  Socialist World government. 

Rothschild appointed Lord Alfred Milner to implement the  plan. 

Benjamin Freedman (Friedman) said this in 1961, Washington  (he was a millionaire insider in international Zionist  organizations, friend to 4 US presidents, and was also part  of the 117-man strong Zionist delegation at the signing of  the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 where Germany was forced  into bankruptcy to the Zionist BankLords and social chaos):  "Two years into WW1, Germany, which was then winning the  war, offered Britain and France a negotiated peace deal,  but German Zionist groups seeing the opportunity made a  deal with Britain to get the United States into the war  if Britain promised to give the Zionists Palestine." 

In other words, they made this deal: "We will get the  United States into this war as your ally. The price you  must pay us is Palestine after you have won the war and  defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey." They made  that promise, in October of 1916. And shortly after that --  I don't know how many here remember it -- the United  States, which was almost totally pro-German because the  newspapers and mass communications media here were  controlled by the Zionist bankers who owned the major  commercial banks and the 12 Federal Reserve Banks (the  original Stockholders of the  Federal Reserve Banks in 1913 were the Rockefeller' s, JP  Morgan, Rothschild's, Lazard Freres, Schoellkopf,  Kuhn-Loeb, Warburgs, Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs, all  with roots in Germany's Zionists like the British Royal  family, J.P. Morgan, Carnegie, Bush, Rumsfeld, Clintons,  the Nazis that were brought into the CIA, etc.  http://land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/federal_reserve.shtml )  and they were pro-German because they wanted to use Germany  to destroy the Czar of Russia and let the Communists  whom they funded take over. The German Zionist bankers --  Rothschilds, Rockefeller, Kuhn Loeb and the other big  banking firms in the United States refused to finance  France or England to the extent of one dollar. They stood  aside and they said: "As long as France and England are  tied up with Russia, not one cent!" They poured money into  Germany, fighting with Germany against Russia, to lick the  Czarist regime. The newspapers had been all pro-German,  where they'd been telling the people of the difficulties  that Germany was having fighting Great Britain commercially  and in other respects, then after making the deal with the  British for Palestine, all of a sudden the Germans were no  good. They were villains. They were Huns. They were  shooting Red Cross nurses. They were cutting off babies'  hands. And they were no good. The Zionists in London sent  cables to the US, to Justice Brandeis: "Go to work on  President Wilson. We're getting from England what we want.  Now you go to work, and you go to work on President Wilson  and get the US into the war." And that did happen. Shortly  after President Woodrow Wilson declared war on Germany. 

The power of the Rothschild family was evidenced on 24  Sept 2002 when a helicopter touched down on the lawn of  Waddedson Manor, their ancestral home in Buckinghamshire,  England. Out of the helicopter strode Warren Buffet, -  touted as the second richest man in the World but really  a lower ranking player- and Arnold Schwarzenegger (the  gropinator), at that time a candidate for the Governorship  of California. Also in attendance at this two day meeting  of the World's most powerful businessmen and financiers  hosted by Jacob Rothschild were James Wolfensohn, president  of the World Bank and Nicky Oppenheimer, chairman of De  Beers. Arnold went on to secure the governorship of one of  the biggest economies on the planet a year later. That he  was initiated into the ruling class in the Rothschilds'  English country manor suggests that the centre of  gravity of the three hundred trillion dollar cartel  is in the U.K. and Europe not the U.S. 

A recent article in the London Financial Times indicates  why it is impossible to gain an accurate estimate of the  wealth of the trillionaire bankers. Discussing the sale  of Evelyn Rothschild's stake in Rothschild Continuation  Holdings, it states: ...[this] requires agreement on the  valuation of privately held assets whose value has never  been tested in a public market. Most of these assets are  held in a complex network of tax-efficient structures  around the World. 

Queen Elizabeth II's shareholdings remain hidden behind  Bank of England Nominee accounts. The Guardian newspaper  reported in May 2002 ... "the reason for the wild  variations in valuations of her private wealth can be  pinned on the secrecy over her portfolio of share  investments. This is because her subjects have no way of  knowing through a public register of interests where she,  as their head of state, chooses to invest her money. Unlike  the members of the Commons and now the Lords, the Queen  does not have to annually declare her interests and as a  result her subjects cannot question her or know about  potential conflicts of interests..." In fact, the Queen  even has an extra mechanism to ensure that her investments  remain secret - a nominee company called the Bank of  England Nominees. It has been available for decades to the  entire World's current heads of state to allow them  anonymity when buying shares. Therefore, when a company  publishes a share register and the Bank of England Nominees  is listed, it is not possible to gauge whether the Queen,  President Bush or even Saddam Hussein is the true  shareholder. 

By this method, the trillionaire masters of the universe  remain hidden whilst Forbes magazine poses lower ranking  billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett as the  richest men in the World. Retired management consultant  Gaylon Ross Sr, author of Who's Who of the Global Elite,  has been tipped from a private source that the combined  wealth of the Rockefeller family in 1998 was approx (US)  $11 trillion and the Rothschilds (U.S.) $100 trillion.  However something of an insider's knowledge of the hidden  wealth of the elite is contained in the article, "Will the  Dollar and America Fall Down on August 19?.." on page 1 of  the 12th July 2001 issue of Russian newspaper Pravda. The  newspaper interviewed Tatyana Koryagina, a senior research  fellow in the Institute of Macroeconomic Researches  subordinated to the Russian Ministry of Economic  Development (Minekonom) on the subject of a recent  conference concerning the fate of the U.S. economy: 

Koryagina: The known history of civilization is merely the  visible part of the iceberg. There is a shadow economy,  shadow politics and also a shadow history, known to  conspirologists. There are [unseen] forces acting in the  World, unstoppable for [most powerful] countries and even  continents. 

Ashley Mote (EU): "Mr President, I wish to draw your  attention to the Global Security Fund, set up in the early  1990s under the auspices of Jacob Rothschild. This is a  Brussels-based fund and it is no ordinary fund: it does not  trade, it is not listed and it has a totally different  purpose. It is being used for geopolitical engineering  purposes, apparently under the guidance of the intelligence  services." "I have previously asked about the alleged  involvement of the European Union's own intelligence  resources in the management of slush funds in offshore  accounts, and I still await a reply. To that question I now  add another: what are the European Union's connections to  the Global Security Fund and what relationship does it have  with European Union institutions? "Recently, Ashley Mote of  the European Union (EU) asked this volatile question in a  public EU meeting, a question never answered, as Mr. Mote,  merely by asking this question, was immediately scratched  from the White House Christmas card list and placed on its  top ten hit list. The Illuminati's cash cow, grazing freely  on the World wide pasture of greenbacks, isn't called  "Elsie" but instead is called the Global Security Fund, a  name actually meaning in the secret cult's language Global  Terrorist Fund. In simple terms, it's a gigantic illegal  trust fund, estimated by undercover overseas financial  investigators at 65 trillion dollars, set-up for  "Illuminati rainy days" and established when it is  desperately needed in a pinch for bribery, assassinations  and sponsoring World wide terrorist activities to divert  attention from their banking mafia. Although the fund is  cloaked in secrecy and made possible by the Western  civilization' s Federal Reserve banking system,  investigators trying to pry into the Illuminati's secret  treasure trove have uncovered some interesting facts.
