History of the Rothschilds Central Banking Dynasty Part I

“While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression, which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.”
— Horace Greely

In the mid-18th Century, Amshel Moses Bauer, a gold- and silver-smith, traveled throughout Germany peddling silver articles that he himself manufactured. Peddling was a long and arduous venture. After so many years of traveling and living like a gypsy, he became weary of this kind of life and decided that enough was enough. So in 1750 he decided to settle down. He opened a goldsmith shop in the Judenstrasse section of Frankfurt, Germany to sell his wares. Over his shop door he hung a red shield.

He, like all the other goldsmiths who went before him, built a strong-room to store his own gold and silver and that of others who needed the security of a safe-deposit vault to keep their riches, including gold and silver coins (the currency of the times). And, like all his fellow goldsmiths before, he practiced the art of loaning money at interest on those coins which did not belong to him (see the first blog post for more details on this practice of usury, theft,  and deceit).

Amschel Moses Bauer had  a son and named him Maier Amshel. Maier Amshel was a very clever and studious boy and was studying to become a rabbi. When he was eleven years of age his father died and in order to make a living, Maier Amshel went to work at the Oppenheimer Bank in Hanover, Germany. After several years working as a clerk, and because of his keen sense of banking, he advanced through the ranks and eventually became a junior partner. 

He eventually returned to Frankfurt and bought the house with the red shield, the house in which his father had set up shop in and assumed the name of Red Shield (“Rot Schild” in German) and thus established the “House of Rothschild”. 

While he was working with the Bank of Oppenheimer he accumulated much wealth. With this money, combined with the money he inherited from his father, he formed his own business, and an unholy business it was. What was this unholy business? It was a business that induced German soldiers to volunteer, and unwittingly become his own private mercenaries, whom he sold to England to fight its wars with Scotland, France, and other nations and later the American Revolutionaries. Those he could not induce to volunteer, he kidnapped. These mercenaries were essentially slaves. 

This was a very profitable enterprise. It cost him very little to induce, kidnap and enslave these men and England was willing to pay a fortune for  mercenaries. For example, in 1787, he sold 12,000 men to England and received 80,000 pounds sterling. Rothschild made numerous such sales over the years. Such unholy sales became the foundation of the Rothschild fortune.

As you can see from this short lesson in history, the Rothschild fortune was made on the lives of men who were duped into volunteering or who were shanghaied into servitude to fight wars for the explicit personal accumulation of wealth of one man. 

In following blog posts I will show you how the Rothschilds used wars and may have even created wars to further their accumulation of wealth and power which lives on today in the form of the Federal Reserve, the IMF, and other Central Banking Systems, all run by the “House of Rothschild” and its minions, which are vast, hidden in the shadows, and insidious.

As always, keep your powder dry and your money out of banks!
