The Kings of the Earth

The Rothschilds are considered by many to be the single most powerful family in the entire world. Their vast wealth enables them the ability to do anything that they choose. The Rothschild family is an international dynasty of close-knit German Jews that have established worldwide banking and finance operations in many countries across the globe. Amschel Rothschild is reported to have once said, "Give me control of the economics of a country; and I care not who makes her laws."

The Rothschild's story begins in 1743 when Mayer Amschel Bauer was born in Frankfurt, Germany, the son of Moses Amschel Bauer, a money lender and the proprietor of a counting house in the heart of the ghetto. This was an oppressive time for Jews in Germany, not being allowed to leave the ghetto at night or on holidays because the laws forbid it. The ruling Christians controlled much of what the Jews could do, where they could go and at what time of the day they could do it. Most historians believe the Bauer family was not wealthy, yet they did live better than most people in the ghetto. They made their money changing coins called course money (copper) for gold and silver, and sometimes employing usurious tactics in the process. Much of the hatred towards Jews was rooted in these usury systems, which was contrary to Christian teachings. Mayer Amschel's parents died when he was just 12 years old leaving him the family business and a substantial inheritance, which he took the initiative to build into something more for himself and his younger siblings.

Over the entrance door of the family business was a red sign. These signs were used in the ghetto like an address is used today. Some believe the residence had a red shield (the family name) while others say it was the six pointed star which is popularly know as the star of David, which interestingly geometrically and numerically translates into the number 666. In Hermetic, Cabalist, Druidic and Satanic magick traditions the star is refered to as a hexagram and is used in various rituals. Also called the Seal of Solomon, the hexagram, was not considered a Jewish symbol before the Rothschilds began using it. Some researchers believe that the Rothschilds are Satanists and that is why they use this powerful esoteric symbol. But that is a simplistic explanation to something that is much more complicated. The family incorporated the symbol to their coat- of-arms in 1822. Under the Rothschild's instruction, the 'star' was placed on the Israeli flag almost two centuries after Mayer Amschel first established the family name. By choosing this symbol the Rothschild's decided to send a message to those with an esoteric understanding, we are involved in the occult.

During the decade of the 1760's Mayer Amschel Bauer worked for a bank owned by the Oppenheimer family (another very powerful family) in Hanover, Germany. He was highly successful and became a junior partner relatively quickly. While working at the bank he became acquainted with many powerful individuals including General von Estorff. The General was an ardent coin collector like Mayer Amschel and employed him to acquire many rare and valuable coins. This was the beginning of a long and beneficial relationship for the Rothschild family. Mayer Amschel soon returned to Frankfurt to expand the family business. He recognized the significance of the red sign and changed his name from Bauer to Rothschild. The name literally means red sign with “Rot,” being German for, “Red,” “Schild,” is German for, “Sign”.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild soon discovered that General von Estorff was now attached to the court of Prince William of Hanau. The prince was one of the richest royal houses in Europe, which gained its' wealth by the hiring out of Hessian soldiers to foreign countries for vast profits. Mr. Rothschild then re-acquaintanced himself with the general on the pretext of selling him very rare and valuable coins and trinkets at discounted prices. As planned, Rothschild was then introduced to the Prince himself who was more than pleased with the discounted prices Mayer charged for his valuables. Rothschild also offered a bonus for any other business the Prince could direct to him. That would be the beginning of a close association with Prince William, eventual fusing their families through arranged marriages.

In 1769 Mayer Amschel Rothschild was given permission by Prince William to hang a sign on the front of his business premises declaring that he is, “M. A. Rothschild, by appointment court factor to his serene highness, Prince William of Hanau.” The next year Mayer Amschel Rothschild married Gutele Schnaper who soon bore several sons who would help further expand the family business. He would also soon impliment plans for the creation of the Illuminati, entrusting Adam Weishaupt to run the organization and develop it further. Alexander Hamilton served as the Rothschild agent in George Washington’s cabinet and set up a central bank in the USA called the Bank of the United States. This bank was established with a 20 year charter, yet the Rothschilds influence in the U.S. would last much longer than that. This was just the beginning of what would eventually be the most powerful family on the planet: The Kings of the Earth.
