In attempting to document the origins of a secret organization that has evolved into a massive nightmare, managing to create and control a shadow government that replaces several national governments and in whose hands the fate of the world now lies, we must carefully retrace its history. The lengths to which this organization has gone to create the political machinery and influence public sentiment to the extent necessary to propel its self-perpetuating prophecy are, frankly, breathtaking. However, the facts prove the undeniable truth of its existence.

In 1743, a goldsmith named Amschel Moses Bauer opened a coin shop in Frankfurt, Germany. He hung above his door a panel depicting a Roman eagle on a red shield. The shop became known as the Red Shield firm. The German word for "red shield" is Rothschild.

Amschel Bauer had a son, Meyer Amschel Bauer. From a very young age, Mayer showed that he possessed immense intellectual capacity, and his father spent much of his time teaching him everything he could about the money-lending business and the basic dynamics of finance. A few years after his father's death in 1755, Mayer went to work in Hanover as a clerk in a bank owned by the Oppenheimer family. While in the employ of the Oppenheimer family, he was introduced to a General von Estorff, for whom he ran errands. Meyer's superior ability was quickly recognised and his promotion within the firm was swift. He was awarded a junior partnership. Von Estorff was later to offer the House of Rothschild, which had not yet been formed, an entry into Prince William's palace.

His success allowed him to return to Frankfurt and buy the business his father had founded in 1743. The big red shield was still displayed above the door. Recognizing the true significance of the Red Shield (his father had adopted it as an emblem from the Red Flag, which was the emblem of revolutionary-minded Jews in Eastern Europe), Mayer Amschel Bauer changed his name to Rothschild (Red Shield). At this point the House of Rothschild was born.

Through his experience with the Oppenheimers, Meyer Rothschild learned that lending money to governments and kings was far more profitable than lending to private individuals. Not only were the loans larger, but they were backed by the nation's taxes.

Meyer Rothschild had five sons, Amschel, Salomon, Nathan, Karl and Jakob. Meyer spent the rest of his life training them all in the secret techniques of money creation and manipulation. As they came of age, he sent them to the great capitals of Europe to open branches of the family banking business. Amschel, stayed in Frankfurt, and Salomon was sent to Vienna. Nathan was sent to London. Karl went to Naples, and Jakob went to Paris.

Although all the sons became shrewd branch managers, Nathan showed a superior affinity for the banking business. When he arrived in London, he became a commercial banker and began cementing the links between the House of Rothschild and the Bank of England.

The House of Rothschild continued to buy and sell bullion and rare coins. Through their shrewd business dealings, they were able to buy up or dismantle most of the competition in Europe. In 1769, Meyer became court agent for Prince William IX of Hesse-Kassel, who was the nephew of George II of England, cousin to George III, nephew of the King of Denmark and brother-in-law of the King of Sweden. In a short time, the House of Rothschild became the intermediary of the great Frankfurt bankers, such as the Bethmann brothers and Rueppell Harnier.

In 1785, Meyer moved his entire family into a five-storey house he shared with the Schiffs. In 1865, the Schiff family's unborn grandson Jacob moved to New York and in 1917 became the mastermind behind the Bolshevik Revolution. This would successfully establish communism as a major world movement, which was (and still is) a core tenet of the Illuminati and their collectivist agenda (but more on Jacob Schiff and the Illuminati agenda later). From this point on, Rothschild and Schiff would play a central role in the rest of European financial history and, subsequently, in that of the United States and the world.

Meyer Rothschild began to realize that in order to gain the power to influence and control the finances of the various monarchs in Europe, he would have to wrest that influence and power from the church, which would require its destruction. To accomplish this, he enlisted the help of a Catholic priest, Adam Weishaupt, to create a secret satanic order.

Adam Weishaupt was born on 6 February 1748 in Ingoldstadt, Bavaria. Weishaupt, born a Jew, was educated by Jesuits, who converted him to Catholicism. He supposedly developed an intense hatred of the Jesuits. Although he became a Catholic priest, his faith was shaken by the Jesuits and he became an atheist. Weishaupt was an ardent student of the French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778). Voltaire, a revolutionary who held liberal religious views, had written a letter to King Frederick II, ('the Great'):

"Finally, when the whole body of the Church should be sufficiently weakened and infidelity sufficiently strong, the final blow (must) be struck by the sword of open and relentless persecution. A reign of terror (is to) be spread over the whole earth and... to continue as long as any Christian is found stubborn enough to adhere to Christianity."

It is believed that, following Voltaire's writings, Weishaupt formulated his ideas on the destruction of the Church. In 1775, when he was summoned by the House of Rothschild, he immediately defected and, at Meyer's urging, began organizing the Illuminati. The first chapter of the order began in his home town of Ingolstadt.

As the name suggests, those individuals who are members of the Illuminati possess the "Light of Lucifer". As far as they are concerned, only members of the human race who possess the 'Light of Lucifer' are truly enlightened and capable of governing. Denouncing God, Weishaupt and his followers considered themselves to be the cream of the intelligentsia - the only people with the mental capacity, knowledge, insight and understanding to govern the world and bring it peace. Their stated aim and purpose was the establishment of a "Novus Ordo Seclorum" - a New World Order or One World Government.

Through the network of Illuminati members, Meyer Rothschild's efforts were redoubled and his banking empire became firmly entrenched throughout Europe. His sons, who were appointed barons of the Austrian Empire, continued to build on what their father had begun and to expand their financial influence.

During the American Revolution, the House of Rothschild brokered a deal between the English throne and Prince William of Germany. William was to supply 16,800 Hessian soldiers to help England stop the Revolution in America. Rothschild was also made responsible for transferring the funds that were to pay the German soldiers. The transfer was never made. The soldiers were never paid, which may explain their poor performance. The Americans won. At this point, Meyer Rothschild set his sights on America.

"Illuminati" was a name used by a German sect that existed in the 15th century. They practiced occultism and claimed to possess the "light" that Lucifer kept when he became Satan.

Meanwhile, Benjamin Franklin, having become well acquainted with the Bank of England and fractional reserve banking, (see "goldsmiths" above), understood the dangers of a private central bank controlling the issuance of the nation's currency and opposed the establishment of a central bank until his death in 1791. This was the same year that Alexander Hamilton introduced legislation to establish the First Bank of the United States. Ironically, the bank was established by the Bank of England to finance the war debt during the War of Independence. Nathan Rothschild invested heavily in that first bank. He immediately began controlling all financial activities, between banks, in America.

But there were a few problems. The U.S. Constitution placed control of the national currency in the hands of Congress and made no provision for Congress to delegate that authority. It even established the basic monetary unit, the dollar. According to the Constitution, the dollar was to be a silver coin based on the Spanish dollar and contain 375 grains of silver.

This one provision was designed to keep the American money supply out of the control of the banking industry. The Bank of England made several attempts to usurp control of the American money supply, but failed. However, through Illuminati agents, they continued to recruit supporters through bribes and commissions.

Any supporter of fractional reserve banking is an economic predator.
In the next twenty years, the country will fall prey to invented financial chaos as a result of the bankers' policies of creating cycles of inflation and monetary austerity. During periods of inflation, the economy would boom, there would be high employment, and people would borrow money to buy houses and farms. At that time, bankers would raise interest rates and cause a depression which would obviously cause unemployment. People who couldn't pay their mortgages would be repossessed by the banks for a fraction of their real value. This is the essence of the Illuminati ploy and it would be repeated, time after time after time. In fact, it's still happening today.

By 1810, the House of Rothschild not only owned a substantial stake in the Bank of the United States, but quietly gained control of the Bank of England. Although foreign owners were not permitted by law to have a say in the day-to-day operations of the Bank of the United States, there is no doubt that American shareholders and directors were, if not affiliated, complicit in the aims and objectives of the Illuminati and their central bankers.

In 1811, the charter of the First Bank of America was not renewed. As a result, the House of Rothschild lost millions of dollars. This so infuriated Nathan Rothschild that he almost single-handedly provoked the War of 1812. Using his formidable power and influence, he forced the British Parliament to try to recapture the colonies. The first military attempt failed. The second strategy was to divide and conquer. Any serious historian will find that the Civil War was largely caused by Rothschild's illuminati agents in the United States.

Meyer Amschel Rothschild died on September 19, 1812. His will spelled out specific guidelines that were to be maintained by his descendants:

1) All important positions were to be held only by family members and only male members were to be involved in the business. 2) The eldest son of the eldest son was to be the head of the family, unless the rest of the family agreed otherwise, as happened in 1812 when Nathan was appointed patriarch.

2) The family was to marry their own first cousins and second cousins so that their wealth remained in the family and maintained the appearance of a united financial empire. For example, his son, James (Jacob) Mayer, married the daughter of another son, Salomon Mayer. This rule became less important in later generations as they refocused their family goals and married into other fortunes.

3) Rothschild ordered that there should never be "any public inventory made by the courts, or otherwise, of my estate.... I also forbid any legal action and any publication of the value of the estate".

4) Nathan Mayer Rothschild, who by 1820 had established a firm hold on the Bank of England, said, "In 1820 Rothschild had no further connection with the Bank of England:

"I care not what puppet shall be placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."

The Second Bank of the United States was also set up by the Bank of England to support the American war debt. When its charter expired in 1836, President Andrew Jackson refused to renew it, saying a central bank concentrated too much power in the hands of unelected bankers.

In 1838, Nathan made the following statement:

"Let me issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."

In the first quarter of the 19th century, the Rothschilds expanded their financial empire across Europe. They criss-crossed the continent with railroads, which transported coal and steel from newly acquired coal mines and ironworks. Through a loan to the English government, they held the first lien on the Suez Canal. They financed the Romanov dynasty in Tsarist Russia, provided the finance that enabled Cecil Rhodes to plunder and pillage South Africa, and the finance that enabled the French government to plunder and pillage North Africa.

As I have stated many times before, the "Dark Side" has been on both sides of every war that has taken place in the modern era. American and British intelligence have documented evidence that the House of Rothschild has funded both sides of every war since the American Revolution. Financier Haym Salomon, an Illuminati agent, supported the Patriots during the American Revolution and later gave loans to James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. As explained earlier, during the Napoleonic Wars, one branch of the family funded Napoleon, while another funded Britain, Germany and other nations.

One of the most prominent Illuminati orders in the US was the "Secret Order of Skull Bones". Illuminati agents William Huntington Russell and Alphonso Taft founded Chapter 322 at Yale University in 1833. Then, in 1856, the Order was incorporated as the Russell Trust. William Russell became a member of the Connecticut State Legislature in 1846 and a general in the Connecticut National Guard in 1862. Alphonso Taft became Secretary of War in the Grant administration in 1876, U.S. Attorney General in 1876, and U.S. Ambassador to Russia in 1884. Alphonso Taft's son later became Chief Justice and President of the United States.

In the years leading up to the Civil War, a number of "Skull and Bones" patriarchs would become leaders of secessionist movements in various Southern states. It has been suggested that these pressures exacerbated an already fragile situation and set the stage for the outbreak of the Civil War. The Rothschild banks provided financing for both North and South during the war. After the Civil War, a smarter method was used to take control of the United States. The Rothschilds financed August Belmont, Khun Loeb and the Morgan banks. Then they financed the Harrimans (railroads), Carnegie (steel) and other industrial titans. Agents such as Paul Warburg, Jacob Schiff, Bernard Baruch were then sent to the United States to carry out the next phase of the takeover.

By the end of the 19th century. Century, the Rothschild family held controlling influence in England, the US, France, Germany, Austria and Italy. Only Russia remained outside the financial sphere of world domination. England, through the Bank of England, ruled most of the world. Jacob Schiff, president of the Khun Loeb Bank in New York, was appointed by B'nai B'rith (a secret Jewish Masonic order meaning "Boys of Convention") to be the revolutionary leader of the Russian Revolution. A cartel, made up of Carnegie, Morgan , Rockefeller and Chase allegedly contributed to the manifestation of communism. On 13 January 1917, Leon Trotsky arrived in the United States and received an American passport. He was frequently seen entering the palatial residence of Jacob Schiff.

Jacob Schiff and his supporters financed the training of Trotsky's Rebel band, made up mainly of Jews from New York's East Side, on the property of Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company in New Jersey. Having been sufficiently trained in the techniques of guerrilla warfare and terror, Trotsky's rebel band set off with $20 million worth of gold, also donated by Jacob Schiff, on the S.S. Kristianiafjord, bound for Russia to make Bolshevik revolution.

After the Bolshevik revolution and the mass murder of the entire Russian royal family, Standard Oil of New Jersey brought in 50% of the huge Caucasus oil field, even though the property had theoretically been nationalized. In 1927, Standard Oil of New York built a refinery in Russia. Then Standard Oil struck a deal to market Soviet oil in Europe and offered a $75 million loan to the Bolsheviks. Jacob Schiff and Paul Warburg of Kuhn Loeb Bank began a campaign for a central bank in the United States. They then helped the Rothschilds manipulate the financial panic of 1907.

The 1907 panic was then used as an argument for having a central bank to prevent such events. Paul Warburg told the Banking and Currency Committee, "Let us have a national clearing house.""

The Federal Reserve Act was the brainchild of Baron Alfred Rothschild of London. The final version of the law was decided at a secret meeting at Jekyll Island Georgia, owned by J.P. Morgan. Present at the meeting were A. Piatt Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Senator Nelson Aldrich, Frank Vanderlip, President of Kuhn Loeb and Co., Henry Davidson, Senior Partner of J.P. Morgan Bank, and Henry Davidson, Senior Partner of J.P. Morgan Bank. Morgan, Charles Norton, president of Morgan's First National in New York, Paul Warburg, partner of Khun Loeb and Co. and Benjamin Strong, president of Morgan's Bankers Trust Co.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 led to the decimation of the U.S. Constitution and was the defining act of international financiers in consolidating financial power in the United States. Pierre Jay, initiated into the "Order of Skull and Bones" in 1892, became the first president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. A dozen members of the Federal Reserve can be linked to the same "Order".

The Rothschilds operate in an area in the heart of London, England, the financial district, which is known as "The City" or the "Square Mile". All the major British banks are headquartered here, along with branches for 385 foreign banks, including 70 in the United States. The Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, Lloyd's of London, the Baltic Exchange (shipping contracts), Fleet Street (home to publishers and newspapers), the London Commodity Exchange (for trade in coffee, rubber, sugar and wool) and the London Metal Exchange are all located here. It's basically the financial centre of the world.

Positioned on the north bank of the River Thames, covering an area of 677 acres or one square mile (known as 'the richest square mile on earth'), it has enjoyed special rights and privileges that have enabled it to achieve a degree of independence since 1191. In 1215, its citizens were granted a Charter by King John, giving them the right to elect a mayor (known as the Lord Mayor) annually, a tradition that continues today.

Des Griffin, in his book Descent into Slavery, described the 'City' as a sovereign state (like the Vatican) and that since the establishment of the privately owned Bank of England in 1694, this financial centre has effectively become the last word in England's national affairs. He argues that the country is ruled by the powers in the "City" and that the throne, the prime minister and parliament are just fronts for real power. E. C. Knuth, in his book "Empire of the City", suggests that when the Queen enters "The City", she is subject to the Lord Mayor (under him is a committee of 12-14 men known as "The Crown") because this private corporation is not subject to the Queen or Parliament. Since 1820, the Lord Mayor has traditionally been elected by the Rothschilds.

The last national election in the United States gave its citizens a choice between two known members of the same satanic cult. And even then, the outcome of that election was subject to extreme scrutiny. For a more in-depth exploration of the 2004 presidential election, please follow this link.
