created by the Confederation.
Amschels sorrow over his lack of children led him to pick prominent
young men to treat as his sons. One such man was Otto von Bismark, who would later become the
Iron Chancellor of Germany. Amschel was the protector of his mother Gutle, who was the Matriarch
of the family. No one could receive full admission
into the House of Rothschild by marriage unless
she approved. Gutie smiled little and had a harsh tongue. One legend has it that a neighbor asked her
whether there was to be peace or war. ,,War?" Gutle replied. "Nonsense. My boys wont let them."
Saloman was the second oldest son of Mayer. Along with the other brothers he was constantly
travelling through Europe. What separated him from his brothers was his gift of diplomacy. He was
more stately and complimentary
than the others. Said one banker of Salomon: "Nobody
leaves him
without being comforted."
in other words he knew how to kiss up. It was this fact that led the brothers
to send him to Vienna, Austria to establish a relationship
with the painfully aristocratic Hapsburgs
and with vain Metternich. Although the Rothschilds had attempted to enter a close business
relationship
with the Hapsburgs and Austria, the Austrian royalty kept putting them off. Then
Salomon came along. He rode in on a wave of new found Rothschild power. Their name had become
famous. One person described it as the "two magic syllables." The brothers had become, as one
biographer put it, "the Archdemons
of Progress." Salomon began to vie for Austrian ties through
Gentz and Metternich. Eventually Salomons diplomacy, Metternichs
lobbying, and the below-cost
method earlier used on the Landgrave broke down the wall between the House of Rothschild and the
Illuminati Hapsburgs. Austria began to employ the Rothschilds
on a regular basis. Salomon moved
into Vienna and bought a Hotel and a house. Salomon knew how to play Metternich like a piano. He
knew the right thing to say at the right time. He knew Metternichs
quirks and prejudices, such as his
vanity which Salomon easily manipulated. Pretty soon Metternich and Salomon became close friends.
The same goes for Metternichs
right-hand man, Gentz. Gentz and Salomon were "inseparable."
Salomon was also a Freemason. It came to the point where Austria became so controlled by the
Rothschilds that the government did not want to refuse the brothers anything. In 1816 Amschel,
Salomon, Carl, and James received a title of nobility from the Hapsburgs.
In 1818 the Aix-la-Chapelle
Congress met to discuss the future of Europe. Salomon, Carl, Metternich,
and Gentz all attended this Congress. It was here that Metternich first met the Rothschilds.
Gentz kept
the minutes of the Congress, he was called the "Secretary of Europe." A Rothschild scheme at this
Congress totally shook the financial institutions
of Europe, there was no denying the power of the
Rothschilds.
"The divine right of kings had been overthrown by the divine right of money.." At Aix-
la-Chapelle the Rothschilds
widened their circle of influence in the Illuminati. Salomon set up a new
firm in Vienna. He financially supported Metternichs
fight against revolution. Metternich had
established the "Vienna System" which controlled Europe after Napoleons defeat. The Austrian
leader began doing what the elite love to do - sending "peacekeeping"
troops Into conflIcts. 1814-
1848 has been described as "The Age of Metternich",
but since the Rothschilds
financed and
controlled him it would be more accurate to call it "The Age of the House of Rothschild."
The Order
of Vladimir was conferred upon Salomon for his work with Russia. Gioacchino Rossini, the Italian
opera composer who wrote Cinderella and the William Tell overture became a good friend of both
Salomon and his brother James. In 1822, he, Metternich, Gentz, James, and Cari attended the Verona
Congress. This Congress was totally manipulated
by the Rothschilds.
They profited Immensely
by its
outcome. Salomon financed the first important Central European railways. The Austrians began
saying that they had an Emperor Ferdinand and a King Salomon. When it came to Austrian finances
Salomon got the last word. The people would show up at his office and beg for a royal "laying on of
hands." He only had to touch a bond or a stock, and its owner went away certain of its rise. Uke the
other Rothschilds
he gave immense charity donations. He bought the huge coal and iron works of
Vitkovitz. In 1843 he received permission to purchase inheritable agricultural real estate (many
people were against Jews buying private property), and he proceeded to buy up large amounts of land.
He obtained the lease of Austrias mercury mines. This and the only other mercury deposit in Spain
were controlled by the Rothschilds,
creating a world monopoly on a key metal. Salomon was
incredibly powerful.
