In researching the Rothschilds for my book I have been reading Niall Ferguson's work on them. Ferguson was given unrestricted access to Rothschild family archives (or those they have allowed him to see), and portrays Mayer Amschel Rothschild as a charitable, religious, hard-working man who apparently wanted religious freedom and equality . Ferguson quotes a number of letters written by his famous five sons in which they praise their father and his hard-work-and-charity ethic, and frequently refer back to Mayer Amschel's charitable work for Jews in Frankfurt (he opened a school for poor Jewsh children), actually believing that his good luck in creating the basis for Nathan to build the family fortune was due to Mayer's good works for Jews and the less priviliged.
[According to Ferguson, some of the stories on how Nathan made money in London are not as we have been led to believe. There is the 'gold to Wellington' story, but that's about it. It was in the early 1820's when a series of large loans to The Holy Alliance was made that things took off.]
Since then, something seems to have gone wrong.
During the 19th Century, Rothschilds and Montefiores amongst some tried to arrange for a Jewish homeland in Palestine, buying land and negotiating with the Ottomans. But they didn't finance any mass murderers or world wars then.
During the 20th Century, Zionist organizations were led by the Rothschilds and their centuries-old family friends, the Schiffs and Warburgs. They created Hitler and Nazi Germany through THEIR Federal Reserve. They armed the bullying Israel through THEIR Federal Reserve.
If Ferguson is painting a true picture of the Rothschilds from his access to the Rothschild family archives, then something somewhere has gone wrong.
I can see Mayer Amschel Rothschild rolling in his grave, shaking his head, tut, tut.
Were they corrupted by our Royal family, in particular Prince, later King Edward VII? Or vice versa?
Oh dear. What has gone wrong with the Rothschilds?
