Rothschild Money Trust

Disraeli says of him further:
"He established a brother or a near relative in whom
he could confide, in most of the principal capitals. He was
lord and master of the money markets of the world and of
course virtually lord and master of everything else. He literally
held the revenues of southern Italy in pawn, and monarcha
and ministers of all countries courted his advice and
were guided by his suggestions."
John Reeves, in his book "The Rothschilds," says:
"One cause of his (Nathan's) success was the secrecy with
which he shrouded, and the tortuous policy with which he misled
those who watched him the keenest." (P. 189).
And this principle, it may be added, has governed the
management of the Rothschild fortune from its beginning to
this hour.
The historian Reeves describes vividly how upon Nathan's
return from near the battle of Waterloo (the Jews are usually
observers of battles, not participants), he went post haste to the
English Channel and there hired a boat at excessive cost and
crossed the English channel in stormy weather, and from there
rushed to the London stock exchange, appearing muddy and
dejected, where he passed out the word that Wellington had
been defeated at Waterloo, and reinforced this by ostentatiously
dumping stocks on the market. This created a great panic upon
the exchange and everybody dumped their stocks at sacrifice
prices. In the meantime Nathan, through his agents, was secretly
buying them.
There were no telegraphs or telephones or radios or fast
posts in those days. It was several days before the news reached
London that Wellington had won the battle of Waterloo. There
was then great rejoicing and the stock market rebounded and
stocks went to unprecedented heights, when Nathan unloaded
his stocks.
This is precisely the method that the Rothschilds have followed
since, and is one of the methods by which they have
amassed their huge fortune. "Nathan boasted that he had multiplied
their capital 2500 times in the course of five years."*
If this is true, it means that at that time (about 1820) the
capital of the English branch had been increased from $3,000,000
to about $7,500,000,000.
