DID BEAR STEARNS FALL OR WAS IT PUSHED? HOW INSIDER TRADING SAVED JPMORGAN AND LOOTED TAXPAYERS
DID BEAR STEARNS FALL OR WAS IT PUSHED? HOW INSIDER TRADING SAVED JPMORGAN AND LOOTED TAXPAYERS

The mother of all insider trades was pulled off in 1815, when London financier Nathan Rothschild led British investors to believe that the Duke of Wellington had lost to Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. In a matter of hours, British government bond prices plummeted. Rothschild, who had advance information, then swiftly bought up the entire market in government bonds, acquiring a dominant holding in England's debt for pennies on the pound. Over the course of the nineteenth century, N. M. Rothschild would become the biggest bank in the world, and the five brothers would come to control most of the foreign-loan business of Europe. "Let me issue and control a nation's money," Rothschild boasted in 1838, "and I care not who writes its laws."

In the United States a century later, John Pierpont Morgan again used rumor and innuendo to create a panic that would change the course of history. The panic of 1907 was triggered by rumors that two major banks were about to become insolvent. Later evidence pointed to the House of Morgan as the source of the rumors. The public, believing the rumors, proceeded to make them come true by staging a run on the banks. Morgan then nobly stepped in to avert the panic by importing $100 million in gold from his European sources. The public thus became convinced that the country needed a central banking system to stop future panics, overcoming strong congressional opposition to any bill allowing the nation's money to be issued by a private central bank controlled by Wall Street; and the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913...

3. And behind JP Morgan....
Behind JP Morgan were the Rothschilds. Who reportedly held an 80% interest in JP Morgan's holdings when he died.

The problem is the Rothschilds of today are not behind the "neo-con artists" which may in itself be telling of how all of this began and how all of it will end.

They will once again pick up everything for pennies on the dollar. Although in this case, it will be a good thing.

Rothschild economies are usually quite healthy economies. Controlling it all isn't such a bad thing for everyone else if you know what you're doing. And the "neo-con artists" obviously do not.

The Rothschilds by the way are not political - read the quote by Mayer Rothschild and you will realize why.

"Let me issue and control a nation's money," Rothschild boasted in 1838, "and I care not who writes its laws."

His approach to oligarchy was different from the approach of Samuel Bush and his son and grandson and great-grandson. Mayer Rotschild knew what he was doing. The Bushes do not.

4. Waterloo
Actually Nathan Rothschild didn't say a word to anyone. He merely stood there while his agent sold his bonds. Everyone just assumed.

The foundation of the Rothschild empire is the belief that greed limits you - the more you return to your investors and the more they return to the economy in general the more the economy will grow which in turn will make the investors want to invest more with you. They like Benjamin Franklin knew the reality of human nature. It is greedy.

They have always balanced the markets they controlled. Which have included the gold and diamond markets.

All economic systems must have an element of oligarchy in order to survive. The problem is that in today's world, that element is no longer balanced with the general economy itself. Particularly on Wall Street.

Fascinating family. With a fascinating patriarch. All the conspiracy theories aside, Mayer Rothschild knew how to make money, how to make economies prosper, and how to make himself immensely wealthy at the same time. The family itself may not even know how much they are worth at this point. The estimate by some is that it is in the trillions of dollars.
