that time he was an antique dealer, trader, coin collector, and exchanger (the country was divided and
as a result the separate currencies made money exchanging very profitable) . General von Estorff
convinced Prince William of the value of a rare coin collection and then recommended
Rothschild.
Thus began the relationship between the Prince and the Rothschilds.
Mayer would sell rare coins,
precious stones, and antiques to the Prince at ridiculously
low prices. Then, in 1769, after a significant
amount of sales, he wrote the Prince asking for and receiving the designation ‘Crown Agent to the
Prince of Hesse-Hanau"
(a great commercial advertiser. Tities and honors were
important in that day, they opened doors). Mayer then married Gutle Schnapper,
daughter of a
respected merchant, Wolf Salomon Schnapper, in 1770. He then set up a money exchange bureau. His
two brothers worked in this bureau with him untIl 1785 when Kalmann died and Moses quite. Some
researchers contend that Adam Wieshaupt of the Bavarian Illuminati was financially supported by the
Rothschilds.
The Bavarian Illuminati was founded in 1776, and the Rothschilds
were not necessarily
a
financial power at that time. I may be wrong, but I do not believe Mayer was in a financial position
to support Wieshaupt. It is possible, though, that when, in 1782, the headquarters
of the Illuminati
moved to Frankfort, that it began to be controlled by the Rothschilds.
In 1785 Prince William’s father, Landgrave Frederick of Hesse-Cassel,
died and William became the
new Landgrave. This made him the richest prince in Germany and possibly Europe. He left the small
province of Hesse-Hanau
to become ruler in Hesse-Cassel.
Around this time Wolf Schnapper,
Mayer’s father-in-law,
introduced Rothschild to Carl Buderus who was the Prince’s chief financial
advisor. Through either coercion, friendship, or occultic ties Mayer was able to convince Buderus to
become an agent for him. This was a big mover for Mayer. The Landgrave William of Hesse-Cassel
was to be the ‘steppingstone"
to power.
Until then Mayer had only done meager business with William, but by 1789 Buderus managed to get
some royal bills for Rothschild to discount. This wasn’t much, but it was a start. Carl received a cut of
the profits when he did William’s business through Rothschild. This was the beginning of a long
financial relationship
that would benefit both parties.
Mayer Amschel Bauer-Rothschild
was a shrewd man, but his quick rise in social status shows the
power of money, for Mayer was not cultured. He could never master the German language and so he
and his family spoke a strange Yiddish German mixture (which benefitted their secret network). He
enjoyed
discussing the medieval world and coin collecting. When it came to business he was ruthless and
naturally adept. His occult side was well hidden. He was most likely a Cabalistic Jew. Although it is
not known if he was a Freemason, he did accompany the Landgrave on several trips to Masonic
lodges (after the two had become better friends). He had 5 daughters and 5 sons, plus several children
that died young. He moved from his old house, the ,,Haus zur Hinterpfann",
to a new one, Green
Shield, when he started making more money. Green Shield was a dual residency and the other half
was occupied by the Schiff family who were to play an important role later on as agents of the
Rothschilds.
Every passage of Green Shield held hidden shelves and cupboards, and the backyard
countinghouse’s walls had a number of secret shelves and a secret underground room which was
connected to a neighbor’s house for a quick getaway if necessary (the house was built to protect Jews
from the dangerous pogroms that would sweep Germany, it was a great place to secretly practice their
gnostic-satanic
rituals, if they were yet involved in that form of worship). His five sons have been
called the Mayer brothers because they all shared that middle name: Amschel Mayer, Salomon
Mayer, Nathan Mayer, Kalmann (Carl) Mayer, and Jacob (James) Mayer. Each son entered the family
business at the age of 12. The humorous side of studying an elite IllumInati family is the
biographer’s
insistence on owing the family’s ability to profit from circumstances as "luck.’ They
never seem to put two and two together. Many of these circumstances
happened by design. They
always say things like ‘... the infant opportunity seemed to be the child of coincidence."
They never
attribute a family’s wealth to well planned extortion, cheating, or thievery, which is exactly how
families like the Rothschilds
attain their riches. The French Revolution
is an example.
