Genealogy of The House of Rothschild

The most famous resident of the Judengasse was Amschel Mayer Bauer (1744-1812), who took on the name Rothschild to found the famous banking dynasty. The Rothschilds have been referred to as a “founding father of international finance,” and ranked seventh on the Forbes magazine list of “The Twenty Most Influential Businessmen of All Time” in 2005. According to Rabbi Antelman in To Eliminate the Opiate, the Rothschilds were the true founders of the Bavarian Illuminati. The dynasty was founded by Amschel Mayer Bauer (1744-1812), who took on the name Rothschild, for “red shield” in German. According to Antelman, the Rothschilds were members of the Sabbatean sect known as the Frankists. Jacob Emden described a violent altercation that took place at his home with two defenders of the Frankists, one of them being Jacob Rothschild.

According to Rabbi Antelman in To Eliminate the Opiate, the true founders of the Bavarian Illuminati were the Rothschilds. Amschel Mayer Bauer, the founder of the Rothschild dynasty, largely achieved his wealth through his association with the ruling family of Hesse-Kassel, direct descendants of Maurice, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, from the circle of the first Rosicrucians, a friend of Frederick V of the Palatinate, whose marriage to Elizabeth Stuart formed the basis the Rosicrucian Alchemical Wedding. Maurice’s direct descendant, Frederick II of Hesse-Kassel (1720 – 1785), was the wealthiest man in Europe, and married Princess Mary of Great Britain, the daughter of King George II of England, who himself was a great-grandson of Frederick V and Elizabeth Stuart.

Frederick II’s son, Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel (1744 – 1836), was a leading member of the Strict Observance, the Bavarian Illuminati and Grand Master of the neo-Rosicrucian order, the Asiatic Brethren, founded by a cousin of Jacob Frank. Prince Charles and the House of Hesse represent the strongest connection yet between the Rothschild Dynasty and the Illuminati. Mayer Amschel Rothschild became an agent of Charles’ brother William IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel, who on his father’s death in 1785, had inherited the largest private fortune in Europe, derived mainly from the hire of troops to the British government in their fight against the Revolution in the United States.

It was Mayer Amschel Rothschild, the dynasty’s founder, who famously said, “Give me control of a Nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.” Mayer Rothschild expanded his financial empire by installing each of his sons in other European cities, Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777 – 1836) in London, Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773 – 1855) in Frankfurt, Salomon Mayer Rothschild (1774 – 1855) in Vienna, Carl Mayer Rothschild (1788 – 1855) in Naples, and in Paris, James Mayer Rothschild (1792 – 1868). In 1816, four of the brothers were each granted the title of Baron by Austria’s Francis von Habsburg, the last Holy Roman Emperor. Mayer Amschel Rothschild sent Nathan, who showed exceptional ability in finance, at the age of twenty-one, with plans of securing control of the Bank of England. The Bank of England, a private corporation, established in 1694, is centered in the City of London. The square-mile-large City is a sovereign state, located in the heart of greater London. Regarded as the “Vatican of the financial world,” the City is not subject to British law, but is said to be run by the “Crown.” Nathan set up his London business, N. M. Rothschild and Sons, which also had branches with his brothers in Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Naples. In the nineteenth century a legend began to circulate which accused Nathan of having used his prior knowledge of Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 to speculate on the Stock Exchange and amass a vast fortune.

The main accomplishment of World War I was to free the land of Palestine from Ottoman control, contributing towards the establishment of the State of Israel, a long-standing objective of the Zionists. After World War I, the British Government would cede the territory to Zionist colonization, as outlined in the Balfour Declaration, written by Lord Balfour with the assistance of Weizmann to Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild (1868 – 1937), who had inherited the title of baron from his father, Nathan “Natty” Rothschild (1840 – 1915), head of the English branch of the family founded by his father, Nathan Mayer Rothschild. Before placing their hopes in Britain, the German Zionists first turned to Germany, hoping their German imperialism would provide a protectorate in Palestine for Jewish settlement. Herzl first attempted to recruit Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany (1859 – 1941), to influence Abdul Hamid II (1842 – 1918), a fellow knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, to seriously consider the proposals of the Zionists. In light of the pogroms in Russia and the Dreyfus Affair in France, Herzl argued that the best way to avoid anti-Semitism in Europe was to create an independent Jewish state. First written as a pamphlet and published in 1896, Herzl’s Der Judenstaat (“The Jewish State”) is considered one of the most important texts of early Zionism. Herzl’s book was subtitled Versuch einer modernen Lösung der Judenfrage (“Proposal of a modern solution for the Jewish question”) and was originally called “Address to the Rothschilds,” as Herzl planned to deliver it as a speech to the Rothschild family.

However, Herzl’s plan came to nought when it was rejected by the Sultan, the Round Table embarked on a plan to use British imperialisms during War World I to appropriate the Holy Land for Zionist settlement, collimating the Balfour Declaration of 1917, written by Lord Balfour, a member of the Round Table and past president of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), and addressed to Baron Walter Rothschild, son of Baron Nathan Rothschild, who founded the Round Table with Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner and W.T. Stead, who was friends with H.P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, and part of the occult circle of Papus who were responsible for the forgery of the Protocols of Zion. Walter Rothschild was an active Zionist and close friend of Weizmann, who helped to draft the declaration, along with the assistance of Louis Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter and Rabbi Stephen Wise, all leading Zionists and known Sabbateans.

In 1902, the Fabian campaigners Sidney and Beatrice Webb founded the Coefficients dining club as a forum for British socialist reformers and imperialists, which included Halford Mackinder, Richard Haldane, H.G. Wells, Bertrand Russell, Lord Alfred Milner and Leo Amery. Upon his appointment by Baron Nathan Rothschild to chair Rhodes’ secret society, Alfred Milner recruited a group of young men from Oxford and Toynbee Hall to assist him in organizing his administration of the new society. All were well-known English Freemasons, among them being Rudyard Kipling, Lord Balfour, Nathan Rothschild and other Oxford College graduates known as Milner’s Kindergarten. In 1909, Milner’s Kindergarten, with some other English Masons, founded the Round Table, collectively known at various times as the Rhodes crowd, The Times crowd, the All Souls group, and the Cliveden set. The existence of the secret society was revealed by Carrol Quigley, a Harvard educated professor at Georgetown University, in The Anglo-American Establishment. No conspiracy theorist, Quigley stated that the objectives of the group, which was associated with Wall Street and the City of London, was “largely commendable.” Members of the group, in statements recorded by the New York Times in 1902, proclaimed that they formed their society for the purpose of “gradually absorbing the wealth of the world.” Quigley credits the Round Tablers for several historical events: the Jameson Raid, the Second Boer War, the founding of the Union of South Africa, the replacement of the British Empire with the Commonwealth of Nations, and a number of Britain’s foreign policy decisions in the twentieth century.

Milner and pro-Zionist Amery were the chief authors of the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Lloyd George brought in a War Cabinet that included only four other members: Andrew Bonar Law and Arthur Henderson, and Garter knights George Curzon and Alfred Milner. The British military was represented by Leo Amery, an original member of Milner’s Kindergarten, who as a parliamentary under-secretary in Lloyd George’s national government. Amery, who was Hungarian Jewish descent, was also an active Freemason. It was Amery, acting on behalf of Milner, who recruited Mackinder to conduct research into imperial matters. Amery was also a member of the “X Committee,” a secret organization set up to keep Milner as the de facto member of the inner-circle of decision-makers, when he became Secretary of War during World War II. The committee, who met regularly to decide war policy, maintained contact with the British War Cabinet and included Lloyd George, Henry Wilson and Amery as secretary.
