Rothschild Money Trust

y the firm of Morgan & Company and the Rothschilds was the
retirement of greenbacks during Cleveland's Administration. It
brought about the hard times of that period. The "facilitating
the payment of the French indemnity to Germany" was the
demonetization of silver in 1873 which has been correctly called
"the crime of '73."
Lionel was elected a member of Parliament from Aylesbury
but refused to take the oath of office upon a Bible containing
the New Testament, and consequently was refused his seat. He
ran and was elected a second time, with the same result. Upon
his third election the oath was waived as to the New Testament
and he was sworn in on the Old Testament. He was the first
Jew to hold office in England. Thus began the pollution and
deterioration of the British Government.
Lionel's eldest son, Nathan Mayer (Lord Rothschild 1st)
succeeded him as head of N. M. Rothschild & Sons on his death
in 1879. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that:
"In 1885 he (Nathan) was raised to the peerage and was
the first Jew to take his seat in the House of Lords, an event
which was regarded as completing the emancipation of the
Jews . . . Lord Rothschild is a governor of the Bank of England
and a presiding officer of many great corporations . . .
In 1902 he was appointed a member of the Royal Commission
on Alien Immigration, an office that brought him in touch with
the late Theodore Herzl."*
Nathan's promotion from the House of Commons to the
peerage was recommended by Prime Minister Wm. E. Gladstone
and Lord Grenville. Queen Victoria at first objected on
the ground that "to make a Jew a peer is a step she could not
consent to; it would be ill-taken and would do the government
great harm."**
Unfortunately, she yielded against her woman's intuition
and her sound judgment. This was the beginning of the transformation
of the British House of Lords from a Gentile landed
aristocracy to a Jewish plutocracy, and of the government from
a Gentile to a Jewish government. It is reported that there are
now sixty Jews in the House of Lords without counting the
hybrids that should in fact be included.
The intermarriage of the impoverished landed aristocrats
with rich Jewesses has polluted the bloodstream of the British
aristocracy and to that extent weakened the government. While
