with Russia. England Joined them to form a powerful coalition against Napoleon. The battle of
Waterloo in 1815 decided the war. Metternich had led Europe to victory with the help of Nathan’s
delivery network which funded the overthrow. The victory made Metternich the most powerful man
in Europe. Due to his speedy courier system, Nathan knew of the outcome of the Waterloo battle
before the news reached any other Englander. A persistent myth is that he made the bulk of his
fortune by manipulating
the stock exchange with this knowledge. First of all, he did manipulate the
market, but he already had a fortune, this only added to It. Second of all, he might not have even
made a significant profit (the issue is complicated and debatable. I will not go into it). Two years
before his defeat, Napoleon had pulled out of Germany. In 1813 the Landgrave William of Hesse-
Cassel returned to his province. Said one biographer:
‘Earlier it had been the Rothschilds
who had
asked for favors, now it was the (Landgrave]
and Buderus who tried to maintain a close connection.’
In 1818 Buderus died. By 1815 Nathan controlled England’s finance. He did a large amount of direct
business with the English treasury. John Hemes was allowing deals that would hurt England but fill
the pockets of the House of
Rothschild.
The following quote by one of Nathan’s contemporaries
describes his eerie countenance:
‘Eyes are usually called windows of the soul. But in Rothschild’s
case you would conclude that the
windows are false ones, or that there was no soul to look out them. There comes not one pencil of
light from the interior, neither is there any gleam of that which comes from without reflected in any
direction. The whole puts you in mind of an empty skin, and you wonder why it stands upright
without at least something
in it. By and by another figure comes up to it. It then steps two paces aside,
and the most inquisitive glance that you ever saw, and a glance more inquisitive than you would have
thought of, is drawn out of the fixed and leaden eyes, as if one were drawing a sword from a
scabbard...’
This description
is disturbingly
similar to either MPD or demonic possession. A Prussian official said
that Rothschild had ‘an 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.’ ‘When Nathan ... (made] a fuss, the Bank of England trembled.’ Once he tried to cash a
check from his brother Amschel at the Bank, but the Bank refused saying it cashed only its own
notes. Nathan’s volcano-like
temper exploded. The next morning he and nine of his clerks arrived at
the Bank and began exchanging bank notes for gold. In one day he had reduced the Bank’s gold
reserves by a substantial amount. The next day he and his clerks arrived with more bank notes. A
Bank executive nervously asked how long he intended to keep this up. Nathan replied something to
the effect of ‘The Bank of England refused to take by bills, so I will not keep theirs.’ A meeting was
quickly called and they decided that from then on the Bank of England would be pleased to cash any
Rothschild check Nathan’s firm was named N.M. Rothschild and Sons. The firm met in the New
Court building and for the sake of brevity will be referred to as New Court. New Court was so
powerful that it even became a gold broker for the Bank of England (whose price I believe they still
fix at will, though I may be wrong). He also founded the Alliance Insurance Company in England.
The Illuminati has the Luciferian belief system that one’s evil acts must be balanced by one’s good
acts. This belief system has led to the philanthropy
of the truly evil elite (although much of this
,,charity" money goes to fund their objectives). Nathan hated the common masses but his duty called.
‘Almoners, particularly those acting on behalf of the poor Jews of London, reported that they got
thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of pounds out of Rothschild, but hardly a word and never a
courtesy.’ Nathan did not enjoy charity. He was good friends with Thomas Buxton, the anti-slavery
leader. The famous musicians Mendelssohn and Rossini taught his daughter to play the harp. When
Mayer died in 1812, his oldest son Amschel took over the Frankfort firm. Although Amschel was not
the head of the family, he was its spokesman to the aristocracy. He was the one who would apply for
the honors and titles for his brothers. He has been described as a crotchety worrier who clung to the
past. He was socially odd, yet held great dinners that were the talk of the elite. Religion was a big part
of his life, to the point of being called ,,monkish."
Even though he lived on a grand scale Amschel
had no joy. Much of this distress came from the fact that he had failed to have any children. After
Napoleon exited Germany a German Confederation
was set up, of which Amschel became the
treasurer. In a sense this made him the first finance minister of the Prussian Empire which was
