Have you ever heard that America 🇺🇸 has over 24 TRILLION dollars worth of debt?? 2 Trillion added in 2020 alone.

Who are we in debt to? How can the richest country history has ever know owe so much money?

I’m here to explain The Rothschild Banking Dynasty

I hope you enjoy! 👇🏻

Meet Mayer Amschel (Bauer) Rothschild, the founding father of international finance. Born the son of a goldsmith you could say that he was destined to have a career in finance, but in fact he’s more of a magician than a banker. More on that later.

Mayer was born in heart of the 18th century in Frankfurt, Germany. Growing up he eventually moved to Hanover where he got a job as a clerk at the Oppenheimer Bank, and it didn’t take long for him to get promoted to junior partner.

Under the apprenticeship of Jacob Wolf Oppenheimer, Mayer learned much of foreign trade & currency exchange. Eventually he became a dealer of rare coins through a connection of his father (Armschel Moses Rothschild) won the patronage of Crown Prince Wilhelm of Hesse

After that his coin business grew extravagantly quick eventually gaining him the title of “Court Agent”. By the early 19th century Rothschild had consolidated his position as international banker to Wilhelm IX & began to issue international loans himself.

However the Rothschild family fortune really took off when Mayer adopted the practice of fractional-reserve banking. He could not do this alone however so he enlisted the help of his 5 sons:

-> Amschel
-> Nathan
-> Carl
-> James
-> Salomon

Throughout the first half of the 19th century these 5 brothers learned the magic of converting debt into money. They left Germany and began conducting transactions on behalf of the government’s of England, France, Prussia, Belgium, Spain, Portugal & Brazil.

They made large personal investments (through agents) as distant as the United States & even helped finance Cecil Rhodes, helping him establish a monopoly over the diamond mines of South Africa

At this point the Rothschilds had realized that loaning money to governments was far more profitable than loaning to individuals. Due to the monopoly of violence many governments sustained, the loans were secured by the nations ability to tax their citizens.

Biographer Derek Wilson writes “The house of Rothschild was immensely more powerful than any financial empire that ever preceded it. It commanded vast wealth. It was international. It was independent. Royal govn’ts were nervous of it because they could not control it.”

The separator for the families success however was its secrecy. Wilson continues “Seldom were they to be seen engaging in public debate in important issues. Never did they seek gov’n office”

“Constitutionalists resented it because it’s influence was exercised behind the scenes”

The Rothschilds became obsessed with continual war in Europe. Feeling no patriotism towards any one nation they were able to successfully finance both sides of any given conflict. While benefiting from a secondary feature of smuggling. Any carriage, ship or chest bearing...

.. the Rothschild family seal was given immunity & allowed to pass through state borders without a hassle. This allowed them to deal in a thriving black market of cotton, coffee, tobacco & sugar. Directly profiting from government war loans & illegal commerce.

Now I’m going to skip a few history points here and turn our attention to France, Napoleon & The Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon had established an independent Bank of France, refusing to borrow from the globalist reserve bankers. This is unacceptable by today’s standards.

This was both concerning & exciting for the financiers. The bad news was that they were no longer benefiting from the royalty payments of fractional money in France. However without resorting to their loans, Napoleon would not be able to finance or defend himself.

-> The Battle of Waterloo. Britain had financed their armies with unfathomable amounts of borrowed money. They had created a debt bubble so large that defeat would equal economic catastrophe. In London, this made for a very anxious group of stock & bond traders.

By this time the Rothschilds has developed a private courier service used to transport gold, tangible goods & INFORMATION. On June 18th, 1815 first news of the British victory hit, a Rothschild agent named Rothworth was waiting to spread the news.

It took two days to travel by horse & boat from Brussel to London. But in the early hours of June 20th, 1815 an exhausted Rothworth knocked on Nathan Rothschilds door, a full 24 hours before the Duke of Wellington’s own courier arrived.

Nathan the took his regular course of action and headed off to the London stock exchange where he took his regular post. All anxious eyes were on Nathan Rothschild that morning, and upon opening bell he began to SELL his assets.

“Nathan is selling” shrieked across the trading floor. It would be like watching Warren Buffet walk into the NYSE and start selling his entire fortune. Panic ensued & the market plummeted. Upon the collapse Nathan Rothschild reversed his call & purchased the entire market...

... through government bonds. Within just a few hours he had acquired a majority holding of England’s debt but at a fraction of the cost. Like magic the Rothschilds had successfully duped the public into the greatest transfer of wealth Europe had ever seen.

This is only the beginning tale of the Rothschild fortune, it gets ever more interesting as they move west and begin to establish dominate financial institutions in America. And yet most people have never even heard of this mysterious banking family cartel. This is on purpose.
