"Give me the right to issue and control the money of the country, and I will absolutely not care who makes the laws!" - this phrase was uttered at the beginning of the 19th century by Mayer Amschel Rothschild. His descendants conscientiously fulfilled the wishes of their great-grandfather.
The version that a group of families led by the Rothschild clan has a direct impact on world markets has been called "conspiracy theories." According to George Entin, author of Conspiracy Theory and the Conspiracy Mentality, conspiracy theory is “an attempt to explain an event or series of events as the result of a conspiracy, that is, the actions of a small, secretly working group of people aimed at consciously controlling or turning the development of certain other historical events”. It turns out that this theory assumes some kind of secrecy and conspiracy. However, and without any mystery, it is clear that the richest people on the planet have more opportunities than anyone else. “Conspiracy theory has nothing under it. To explain everything with conspiracies is a persecution mania, this is an extreme humiliation of the people. At the same time, this does not meanthat financial circles have no influence on events on a global scale,”said Iosif Diskin, co-chairman of the National Strategy Council.
Family bonds
Rockefellers, Morgan, Rothschild, Coon, Loeb, Goldman, Mellon, Saxon, Dupont, Lehman … These are the names of those bankers and businessmen who laid the foundation for family capital back in the 17th and 18th centuries. The most important thing for them then was the psychology of the clan: family business, dynastic marriages. As an example, the history of the development of the largest American bank in the USA in the 19th century Kuhn, Loeb & Co. It was founded in 1867 by Abraham Kuhn and Solomon Loeb. Under the leadership of Jacob Schiff, the bank has successfully invested in more than promising American companies, including Western Union and Westinghouse. From 1907 to 1912 Kuhn, Loeb & Co. was a subscriber of shares (possessed a kind of options) for a total of $ 530 million. In the 20s of the last century, the bank was managed by other famous personalities - Otto Kahn, Felix Warburg,and also Benjamin Buttenweiser. (By the way, there is information that it was they who financed the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. The corresponding reports of the British intelligence are given in the book by Henry Wickham Steed "After 30 years, 1892-1922".) In 1977, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. merged with Lehman Brothers to form Lehman Brothers, Inc. Seven years later, a merger followed with American Express, which was founded by the Fargo and Butterfield families.
In turn, a quick glance at the genealogical intricacies of these families refutes even a hint of their rivalry with each other. So, Solomon Loeb's daughter married Jacob Schiff, and Felix Warburg married Solomon Loeb's granddaughter Nina. Benjamin Buttenweiser was married to the granddaughter of Lehman Brothers founder Abraham Lehman.
The Rockefellers and Morgan were outside this family. Unlike Kuhn, Loeb and others who came to the United States from Europe, the Rockefellers and Morgan are Native Americans. John David Rockefeller was born in Richford, John Pierpont Morgan - in Boston. At one time there were rumors that the Rothschilds allegedly competed with the Rockefellers. However, talk fell silent after in 2000 JPMorgan, controlled by NM Rothschild & Sons, took over Chase Manhattan, the brainchild of David Rockefeller, from which the JPMorgan Chase hybrid emerged. As a result, the interests of the two sides were successfully united.

Rothschilds in the fog
One can only guess about the contents of the pocket of David Rockefeller, whose ancestor a hundred years ago became the first dollar billionaire. In 1913, the personal fortune of that same ancestor, John Rockefeller, was estimated at at least $ 1 billion (according to other sources, $ 6 billion). Taking into account inflation of the American currency and interest rates, a fortune of $ 1 billion a hundred years ago is equivalent to the current $ 60 billion.
As for the financier Nathaniel Rothschild, it is simply indecent to speak out loud about the real size of his fortune. Suffice it to say that his family has been successfully engaged in banking for about 200 years. Over the centuries, their ancestors raised capital, weaved intrigues, developed connections, married children. And all this so that the descendants - the same David or Nathan - will preserve and increase the family good. No one can name the exact numbers, but it is very likely that the total fortune of the Rothschilds today is measured in trillions of dollars.
Today, identifying the true owners of a large company or bank is like finding the trail of a viper on a stone. “Most people don't believe they own assets if they don't have title deeds. The Rockefellers know this is a big mistake. It is much more convenient to have assets owned by a trust or foundation that you control … The result is that the public does not have the slightest opportunity to assess the condition of the Rockefellers, let alone the influence and power of this family,”writes Gary Allen in The Rockefeller File … Nevertheless, some assumptions can be made from facts and documented history. For example, the Rockefellers, Morgan, Coon and Loeb control the financial conglomerate Citigroup, as well as JPMorgan Chase and ExxonMobil Corporation.
As for the Rothschilds, they occupy a special position: they have a share in the assets of all families and solely own the largest banks, public funds, investment companies, vineyards, lands, mines. If the mystery shrouding the Rockefeller family is like a gray haze, then the information-impenetrable halo around the Rothschilds is like a deep fog. "I categorically and in the most decisive manner prohibit the conduct of a judicial or public inventory of my inheritance, any judicial intervention and any disclosure of the size of my fortune" - such a clause was contained in the will of the French millionaire Anselm de Rothschild, who died at the end of the 19th century. Among the Rothschilds there are not only bankers, but also famous scientists, opera singers, gardeners, art historians.
Who the Fed pays
Nevertheless, the wealth of the affluent clans of America and Europe is not limited to high-yield assets around the world. There is something more fundamental, and that is the US Federal Reserve. According to legend, the organization was conceived at the beginning of the last century by a group of those same bankers - Morgan, Rockefeller, Coon, Loeb, Goldman, Mellon, Saxon, Dupont, etc. The decisive meeting took place at the end of November 1910 in John Morgan's "hunting lodge" on Jekyll Island off the east coast of the United States.
Republican Senator Nelson Aldrich, John Rockefeller's father-in-law, lobbied for the Federal Reserve Act in parliament. Unfortunately, the first time in 1912, he failed to push through the coveted document called the "Aldrich Plan". Subsequently, the reformers removed the name of the Republican Aldrich from the name of the annoying Democrats, made a number of minor changes to the document and re-launched it already as a Democratic initiative. Thus, after sophisticated manipulation of the banking circle in 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was successfully ratified. Interestingly, the vote in the upper house of Congress took place on December 23rd, and there were very few senators in the courtroom on Christmas Eve.
This is how the “Hydra Fed” was born, which performs the functions of the Central Bank with a small caveat. The Fed's form of capital is private - joint stock. The structure of this corporation consists of 12 Federal Reserve Banks and numerous private banks. The latter are shareholders of the Fed and receive a fixed 6% per annum in the form of dividends on their membership fees, regardless of the income of the Federal Reserve. Currently, about 38% of all banks and credit unions in the United States are involved in this structure (approximately 5.6 thousand legal entities). Federal Reserve shares do not give control rights, they cannot be sold or pledged. Moreover, their acquisition is the official duty of each member bank to invest in them an amount equal to 3% of their capital. The main benefit of being a member bank is borrowing from the Federal Reserve Banks.
No one knows which structures the US Federal Reserve actually belongs to. Only the close friendship and family ties of all the heads of the Fed with the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, as well as the history of the creation of the Fed, indicate them as the true owners. However, in the 70s of the last century, some information was leaked to the press through research journalist Rob Kirby, who made public the list of organizations that own the Fed. However, all these banks have long since disappeared through mergers or acquisitions with others. All but one - Bank of England (Bank of London).

So, on the one hand, America's wealthy families have existed and thrived for centuries, on the other hand, through the Fed, they influence both the United States and other countries, because the dollar is still the main reserve currency.
In addition, if necessary, the US government can always borrow from the Fed, for example, $ 5 trillion for a small victorious war in the Middle East, if the interests of the parties coincide. Since Bush came to power, this measure has been used so often that today the national debt stands at a record $ 1.5 trillion. At the same time, it should be said that the debts of individuals and corporations in the United States amount to more than $ 10 trillion and the total amount of debt is approaching the volume of US GDP of $ 13 trillion.
Russia on the eve of the 1998 default was in softer conditions. Therefore, one of the biggest problems of the current crisis is the threat of US default or hyperinflation of the dollar, if the Fed starts printing paper with portraits of presidents at an accelerated pace.
“… Everyone, in general, understands that the reasons that led to the crisis in autumn 2008 have not gone away and that the second blow of the financial and economic elements is inevitable. At the same time, the state and corporations have significantly exhausted their free funds … There remains only one scenario - the state default. Designed and controlled dollar collapse ", - writes in one of the publications the head of the analytical group" Designing the Future "Sergei Pereslegin.
How the discharge will occur is anyone's guess. The world has changed significantly over the past 20 years. Back in the mid-1980s, the Americans managed to force Japan to strengthen the yen against the dollar, which was beneficial to the United States, but led to a depression in the Land of the Rising Sun. Today there is China, growing by leaps and bounds, with its own ideas of good and evil, and if you look more broadly - the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) - an invention of the Goldman and Saxon family.
China itself is ready to claim that the yuan will become the reserve currency in Asia, Russia is seeking to take over the financial systems of the CIS countries. At the same time, rumors about a new American currency - amero (USA, Canada, Mexico) - circulate regularly in the press. Are powerful families ready to share their power over the printing press with their neighbors? Most likely, general human principles for forecasts are not applicable here.
Some of the plans of the world's most powerful people were made public with the help of journalist and filmmaker Aaron Russo, who is known for exposing stories and films about the Fed. One of his most scandalous films is "America - from freedom to fascism." In 2007, in an interview with journalist Alex Johnson, he made a number of confessions. Nick Rockefeller, being a friend of the director, tried to "recruit" him. He even invited Rousseau to join an odious elite organization - the Council on Foreign Relations, but he refused. Russo said that he once asked Rockefeller a question: “You have all the money in the world that you need. You have all the power in the world that you need. What is the meaning of all this, what is the ultimate goal? " To this Rockefeller replied: “Our ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone is 'chipped'. To control the whole societyfor the bankers and the elite to control the world. " Rockefeller even promised that if Russo joined them, his chip would have a special mark that would allow him to avoid overly intrusive surveillance. In conclusion, it remains to add the following: the interview took place at the end of January 2007, and in the summer of the same year, Aaron Russo died of cancer.
Rockefellers: flour and pork
John David Rockefeller was born in 1839 in the state of New York. His father, Bill, was a drunkard and charlatan. John did not follow in the footsteps of his parent, and at the age of 16, after three months of accounting courses, he left for Cleveland. There I looked for work for six months until I got a job as an assistant accountant in a small company Hewitt & Tuttle. At 18, John co-founded the brokerage firm Clark & Rockefeller and made good money in the 1861-1865 US Civil War. Maurice Clarke and John Rockefeller supplied the armies with flour, pork and salt. After the war, Rockefeller groped for a gold mine - a fuel that was vital in the context of rapid industrialization. In 1865, he sold his stake in Clark & Rockefeller for $ 72.5 thousand and focused exclusively on investing in oil. As a result, in 1870, ExxonMobil's "grandmother" - Standard Oil was born.
Rothschilds: antiques
The founder of the Rothschild clan, Amschel Moses Bauer, a native of the city of Frankfurt, acquired the initial capital literally in the trash heap in the middle of the 18th century. As legend has it, after the death of his father, a small merchant, Amschel started looking for antiques in landfills. Then the future financier gave them a marketable appearance and sold them to aristocratic collectors. In 1773 he founded an antique shop and changed his last name Bauer (translated into Russian - "peasant") to Rothschild (that was the name of his father's shop). The genius Amschel donated his entire collection of antiques to Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Hesse-Genau, asking in return for only the status of the official supplier of the royal court. Then Amschel went into banking, helping the prince to carry out speculative transactions.
The name of Rothschild's son Nathan is associated with the most famous example of insider trading. In 1818, the adventurous Amschel's son sent his agent to the battle of Waterloo and was the first to learn of Wellington's victory and Napoleon's defeat. On the London Stock Exchange, he put on a whole performance, pretending to start selling. Everyone in a panic followed his example, while Nathan's agents were buying up the depreciated shares of the British Treasury.
Lemans: cotton
The recently bankrupt investment bank Lehman Brothers had cotton at its origins. In the mid-19th century USA, this plant was of particular value, and immigrants from Bavaria - Heinrich, Emmanuel and Mayer Lehman - did not miss when in 1845 they opened H. Lehman grocery store in the "cotton" state of Alabama. The brothers graciously allowed customers to pay for the food with cotton, which they then sold at a good mark-up.
Two years later, the H. Lehman and Bro company saw the light, later the name was changed to Lehman Brothers. In 1870, it was Lehman Brothers who became one of the main founders of the Cotton Exchange in New York. Subsequently, the Lehmans made deals in the oil and coffee markets, invested in the bonds of railway companies.
Morgan: weapons
John Pierpont Morgan Sr. founded the famous Morgan banking house. He started out as an accountant at the New York-based Duncan, Sherman and Company. He got rich, like Rockefeller, in the Civil War - however, he did not sell food to the northerners, but weapons. In 1867, John Pierpont co-founded Drexel, Morgan and Company. It was then, after the end of the war, that an economic boom hit the United States. Morgan invested in industrial plants and railway construction. In 1893, the company was transformed into JPMorgan Banking House.
