Almost a month since my last post because of some family gathering. Anyway, In the last part of my last article, I open up about the Rothschild family.
Well, the Rothschild family as we know them today begins with Mayer Amschel Rothschild. He lived in the 18th century and served as a “court Jew” for German nobility. As odd as it sounds today, a “court Jew” was actually a respected banking position. At the time, the act of charging interest for money borrowed, or “usury”, was prohibited by the Bible. However, Jews had no such religious restriction, and so they were free to handle everyone's finances. Rothschild quickly amassed a huge fortune working for powerful European nobles, and married the daughter of another court Jew.
They've also been involved in funding massive projects like the Suez Canal, and once even bailed out the Bank of England.
But are they really part of a massive Jewish banking media conspiracy to establish a new world order, as some are appropriate to believe? Well all evidence points to “no”. Understandably, many Rothschild's descendants hold high-ranking business and banking positions around the world. But, it's not hard to see that old aristocratic families have greater access to opportunity, and end up in high-ranking positions that other people may not have access to.
Additionally, although the Rothschild group is one of the largest global investment banks, the family itself is not nearly as rich as some make them out to be. A Frequent figure used in connection with the family's wealth is 500 trillion dollars. It's estimated that in the entire world there are between 1 and 2 quadrillion dollars, and in fact, the global GDP is reportedly less than 100 trillion.
So, the idea that the Rothschild’s control anywhere from 1/2 to 1/4 of all the wealth on earth is effectively impossible.
More realistically, the LA Times reports that the Rothschild fortune is estimated between 350 billion and 1 trillion dollars, which is still a considerable amount.
But that money is split among a large number of descendants, so individual Rothschild’s rarely appear on Forbes or fortune wealth lists.
While the old Jewish banking family is certainly wealthy and relatively secretive, there's little to no evidence supporting a vast conspiracy. But chances are people who already believe there is one won't be convinced.
