I have spent many years researching the Rothschild dynasty, longer than I care to admit. My work has followed their trail through history and in my books I have traced their bloodline, back to the days of the Anunnaki and Amun-Ra. Most researchers accept that Mayer Amschel Rothschild was the first to establish the name with real significance, laying the foundations for the Parasitic dynasty we recognise today.
Yet, what is often overlooked is the story of his great-grandfather, Elijah Baal Shem of Worms. This is not a tale of a respected mystic or a wise rabbi, but of a man regarded as one of the most disturbing figures of medieval Europe. It is worth taking a closer look at this shadowy ancestor, as his life and reputation cast a dark reflection on the legacy that followed.
Elijah was not remembered as a benign mystic, but as one of the most feared figures of medieval Europe. He was called a Baal Shem “Master of the Name,” a title given to men who claimed to know the hidden Names of God and use them to perform wonders. In practice, this meant amulets, invocations and rituals rooted in Kabbalah, the esoteric system of Jewish mysticism that merged sacred texts with techniques more akin to sorcery. His reputation rested on miracle working, but his methods carried the unmistakable taint of the forbidden.
The Scriptures make clear that such practices stand outside the will of God. “There shall not be found among you… one who practises divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord” (Deuteronomy 18:10–12). Elijah Baal Shem built his authority precisely on what the Bible condemned. Accounts describe him as someone able to summon spiritual powers, command unseen forces and impose outcomes that were presented as miracles. But, people of Worms lived in fear of him, because these outcomes rarely came without cost. His interventions were associated with disturbances, strange phenomena and misfortunes, that left many convinced his power came not from heaven, but from the abyss.
His very name reflects the contradiction at the heart of his legacy. Elijah, the prophet of the Old Testament, famously destroyed the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18). Yet attached to this name is Baal Shem, which invokes Baal, the ancient Canaanite god condemned in Scripture. Baal worship was tied to sacrifice and idolatry - “They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not” (Jeremiah 19:5). To carry a name so closely aligned with Israel’s greatest apostasy, while practising rituals steeped in occultism, was seen not as irony but as blasphemy.
Elijah Baal Shem’s connection to the Canaanite current has been repeatedly noted. Some traditions claimed he carried the lineage of the Canaanites themselves, embedding his identity in the very people most closely associated with Baal worship. Whether or not this ancestry was literal, his activities were certainly consistent with that heritage. He stood at the point where Kabbalah, miracle working and occult manipulation intersected, embodying the danger of crossing from faith into the forbidden.
The city of Worms was itself a place heavy with history and conflict. It was a centre of the Holy Roman Empire, a seat of both ecclesiastical and Jewish authority. Within its walls Elijah Baal Shem conducted his rites, fashioning amulets, writing incantations and engaging in practices that unsettled even those who sought his help. To his followers he was a protector, but to the wider community he was a source of dread. People approached him as one might approach a man who holds the power of life and death, but cannot be trusted with either. His reputation was that of someone whose influence could not be escaped once invoked.
The Bible repeatedly warns that those who pursue Baal or seek power through sorcery invite judgement. “They have forsaken me, and have worshipped Baal and walked after things that do not profit” (Jeremiah 2:8). Elijah Baal Shem of Worms stands as a historical example of this truth. He represents the corruption that arises when sacred knowledge is twisted into an instrument of control. His life demonstrates how the boundary between miracle and manipulation is easily crossed and why the Scriptures denounce those who attempt to bend divine mysteries to human will.
Elijah Baal Shem is remembered not with honour but with unease. His memory provokes fear, because he embodied a type of spiritual authority rooted in deception, blasphemy and occultism. For those who lived in Worms, their fear was not unfounded; they saw in him the living presence of practices condemned since the days of Canaan, revived in a medieval guise. His legacy remains as a warning - when men seek power apart from God, the forces they unleash are not instruments of blessing but of destruction.

I've finally had a chance to review the NBER 'working paper' which claims that Brexit has already reduced UK GDP by 8% since the vote to leave in 2016... 🤔
At first sight, this figure fails a simple 'smell test'. A closer look confirms that the analysis is flawed... 🧵
1⃣ for context, the UK economy has grown by about 12% since 2016, outpacing Japan, Germany, Italy and France. If you add another 8% the UK would have been the fastest growing economy in the G7 - bar only the US - and left its EU peers far behind.
Not impossible, but unlikely...
2⃣ So how did the NBER get 8%?
They've compared the UK's per capita GDP growth since 2016 to a wide range of other countries and assumed any underperformance must have been due to Brexit.

Hondurans voting in today’s presidential election face an unprecedented range of foreign efforts to meddle in their democratic process, thanks to the US government and its preferred local proxies, the National Party.
🧵A brief rundown on the plots to steal the Honduran election:
The most obvious effort to rig the Honduran election has come via Trump’s statements demanding voters cast their ballots for Tito Asfura.
Throughout the race, Asfura sought to distance himself from the previous National Party candidate, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted of conspiring with his brother and El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel to smuggle 400 tons of coke into the US last year.
This week, those efforts unraveled when Trump threatened to withhold US support for Honduras if Asfura isn’t elected, while simultaneously announcing he was pardoning Hernandez, who he claimed had been “treated very unfairly.”
Trump has presented no evidence that Hernandez’s trial was biased in any way, nor has he explained how the then-president of Honduras could have been unaware of the massive cocaine trafficking conspiracy which his own brother – Tony Hernandez – was indicted for by Trump’s Department of Justice.
BREAKING According to ground reports we unfortunately predicted, an electoral US-backed coup attempt is underway in Honduras.
The Honduran right-wing has reportedly infiltrated the CNE as they fuel a victory with only 30% of vote counts scrutinized…
This backs leaked audio of creating the narrative of a right-wing victory by only announcing a fraction of results and retaining the areas where the Libre party’s strong.
Now you see most X and western media outlets reporting a victory of Trump-backed candidate Asfura.
This isn’t the fist time the US has intervened in Honduras. The last time in 2009, they ousted former president Manuel Zelaya under President Obama and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State—proving both democrats & republicans effectively have the same foreign policy.
A major escalation in China-Russia military-industrial cooperation.
FT: The owner of a major Chinese drone-parts supplier has quietly taken a stake in Russia’s leading FPV-drone manufacturer Rustakt — a key producer of the VT-40 attack drone used across Ukraine. 1/
A filing in Russia’s registry listed Wang Dinghua, owner of Shenzhen Minghuaxin, as acquiring 5% of Rustakt in Sept.
Within 24 hours of accessing the document, all ownership data was suppressed from Russian state and private corporate registries. 2/
Minghuaxin has long been a major supplier of parts to Rustakt and its affiliated firms.
- $304M in components shipped to Rustakt,
- $107M to Santex Plant, an associated entity.
Almost all Santex customs paperwork was filed by Rustakt itself. 3/
Korean skincare and our skincare use the same global ingredient pool. Unless a product is patented, for example, how CECRED has patent ingredients in it - there is no special ingredients that Korea has access to that we do not.
Are regulated internationally, manufactured GLOBALLY, and shared across countries. Therefore, it is impossible for the ingredients to be higher quality in Korea.
The difference is style and philosophy.
Our skin care offers this too but we also add in treatment focused products. For example, retinol’s, AHA’s, BHA’s.
Koreans philosophy is lightweight layers and hydration first. Meaning they focus on hydration prior to dropping treatment products.
Supreme Court to resume hearing today pleas by Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and other accused seeking bail in the 2020 Delhi riots conspiracy case.
Bench: Justices Aravind Kumar and NV Anjaria
#SupremeCourt #UmarKhalid
Sr. Adv. Abhishek Manu Singhvi (for Gulfisha Fatima): I have been in jail for just under 6 years. There is a chargesheet filed on 16.9.2020 but as if it’s a ritual of chargesheets, the supplementary chargesheets are filed continuously… till now we have got 4 supplementary and 1 main. The arrest was in 2020. Even after 2023, the delay is sad, astonishing, and unprecedented.
Singhvi: I seek parity, the high court keeps it pending. Then a new bench takes over. Then the appeals were listed with 8 other Co accused. Then it was released from that bench… whatever reasons, let’s not go into that. Then comes the impugned judgement.
There has been a lot of misinformation and plain pro-Israeli propaganda doing the rounds on social media regarding the Dublin City Council report on the #HerzogPark name change that was later retracted. 👇
1. It was never a ‘leftist thing’ devised by a group of anti-Semitic councillors out to deny the positive contribution of Jewish culture and commerce to Irish Society.
That is what pro-Israeli media and back-pedalling right wing politicians and figures have falsely alleged.
The Netanyahu project in taking over the social media airways swung into action the moment it became public what Dublin City Council were planning. It was no longer a matter for the Irish to decide. It was rebranded as anti-Semitic with all-out shaming of anyone who agrees.
1/ Ukraine isn't just fighting for its own survival.
It's building the defense tech that could determine whether Taiwan survives a Chinese invasion.
Here's why Washington will want to care—and what the White House still doesn't know 🧵THREAD ⤵️
2/ While the Western defense industry focuses on what SELLS, Ukraine has become the world's leading lab for low-cost, rapidly-developing defense tech THAT WORKS.
No other democracy has anything like it, as I see here every day, and as Daniel Runde writes at @TheNatlInterest ⤵️
3/ Here's what the White House misses:
Ukraine is building the world's only near "CCP-free" drone supply chain.
Neither the United States nor Israel can claim this level of Chinese supply-chain independence.
What if China cut off supplies needed for F35s? ⤵️
Die neu gegründete AfD-Jugendorganisation Generation Deutschland (GD) ist erst wenige Tage alt, steht aber bereits im Fokus des thüringischen Landesamtes für Verfassungsschutz.
Die Behörde erkennt Anzeichen für rechtsextreme Tendenzen. Mit Blick auf die Gründungsfeier in Gießen am Samstag (29. November) sei davon auszugehen, dass es sich „wohl doch eher um eine Nachfolgeorganisation handelt, diesmal unter dem
Schutz des grundgesetzlichen Parteienprivilegs als Jugendorganisation der AfD“, erklärte der Präsident des thüringischen Landesamtes für Verfassungsschutz, Stephan Kramer, gegenüber den RND-Zeitungen am Dienstag (2. Dezember).
