"Rothschilds come and Rothschilds go, but that Rothschild goes on forever is equally true of any one of those dozen or so great families whose allied fortunes– for they all work together when there is need– form the Invisible Empire of Finance."
One of the most important written works I've ever come across is, of all things, a newspaper article from the Saturday Evening Post, a very mainstream publication which had then the reach and respectability of Time or Newsweek does today. This article, by Army war correspondent, adventurer, and travel writer, E. Alexander Powell, published in 1909, not only NAMES the Jewish financial elites who, in his time, already controlled most of the world, but also describes in specifics what they control and how they exercise political power. Powell was not some armchair philosopher or ideologically motivated “antisemite” or anything like that… he was right in the middle of the action and met powerful figures throughout his entire life. What he wrote, it is safe to assume he knew about first hand or directly from credible sources.
In this thread, I will be providing you with an overview and hopefully provide a vivid visualization about how much control the Jews have over the world. Those who believe nations like Russia or China represent legitimate threats to "the West" ought to read carefully.
He begins with facts about DEBT-
-France, Germany, Austria & Britain owed Jewish bankers BILLIONS of dollars. Britain owed 3.8B alone.
-Russia, despite its great wealth at the time, "owed his accumulated gold" to the very same banker bondholders, who told the emperor and his finance minister "what may and may not be done".
-The Ottoman Empire had a nearly 500 million dollar war debt to these same financiers
Powell sums up the total debt of Europe to private Jewish bankers in 1909 as "24 Billion dollars"... that is over 800 billion in today's money. (i.e. the allegedly "anti-west" nations of the Middle East– Syria, Iran, etc. were already in the pockets of the international Jews over 100 years ago)
15 banking families (all Jewish) are then named by Powell, with other more minor names given later in the article… however, practically all of these families intermarried with each other, so despite having various names, they are essentially one extended family-clan and ruling caste. These names are:
Rothschild (the undisputed kings among kings), Cassel, Stern, Goldsmid, Camondo, Fould, Pereire, Ephrussi, Bisschoffsheim, Bleichroeder, Warschauer, Mendelssohn, Hirsch, & Warshavski, and Sassoon.
ROTHSCHILDS
"Every ship that is lost, every crop that is gathered, affects, directly or indirectly, their enormous exchequer." Powell describes how far-reaching the Rothschilds' empire extends, tells us they are financially involved in practically every large-scale commercial venture across the entire globe.
The Rothschilds made enormous fortunes funding wars and supplying armies across Europe. They gained incredible power by establishing the foremost spy network using fast sailing boats and carrier-pigeons throughout the entire continent.
Despite being 'deboonked' by every 'credible' source today, Powell here confirms the story that the Rothschilds basically bought the English stock market after the Battle of Waterloo, thanks to the help of their spy network… a story that was generally held as fact up until the last few decades.
He describes their wealth and political power as being so fast that they absorbed entire industries and railways with their vast money power… they owned warehouses, gold mines, plantations, whole forests in Siberia, and even entire towns in Australia.
TWICE the Rothschilds "saved the Bank of England from suspension". They also "enabled France to pay a massive indemnity to Germany.” These government bailouts during the 19th century were the keys needed to unlock the gates of power and enable their coup d'états.
The Hirsch family, by the first decade of the 20th century, controlled all "the railway systems of southeastern Europe". "Every egg, yarn of cloth, rifle, jackknife sold south of the Danube pays a toll to the fortune of the shrewd old Baron."
The Cassel family was responsible for financing the Aswan Dam, as well as "saving the English king from bankruptcy." Powell claims Cassel was, in Egypt, "more powerful than the Khedive and British consul-general rolled into one."
The Sassoon family, known as the "Rothschilds of the East" was known in "every hut and bungalow from Smyrna to Shanghai." They controlled the main railways across the middle east and east Asia, amassing for them untold fortunes that "surpassed the Caliphs themselves". They dominated the rice-fields of India, tea plantations in China and Japan, and controlled the opium trade monopolistically. In fact, the Opium Wars fought by Rothschild-controlled Britain were conducted to enable the Sassoons to continue their filthy opium trade and line their own pockets.
The Pereires of France owned the main railway lines in France, as well as the autobus systems in Paris, the semi-public Credit Mobilier bank, the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique, and the Bank of Tunis.
The Camondos were the largest foreign landowners in the Ottoman Empire and personally financed and advised the Sultan.
The Sterns and Goldsmids were the exclusive financiers of Portugal in his time. Goldsmid also, through gigantic railway schemes, "gave Germany a commercial empire in Western Asia".
Baron Gunzburg was the favorite lender in Russia, and wielded so much authority that the Minister of Finance would go to him, rather than sending a summons.
The Montefiores family had "taken Australia for their own", where "not a gold field or sheep-run from Tasmania to New South Wales did not pay him heavy tribute." Powell names them as the "real owners of the great antipodean continent".
The Foulds were responsible for financing the military campaigns of Louis Napoleon, enabling him to take the throne.
The Bleichroeders saved the Prussian gov't from financial difficulties in 1865 and financed the war of 1870-71.
In Africa, the north of the continent was owned by the Pereires, Camondos, and Cassels… but South Africa belonged to the Beits, Barnatos, Wertheimers, and Friedlanders… all "subsidiaries of the Invisible Empire"... where they controlled immense gold mines and diamond fields thanks to the purchase of lucrative war bonds.
And here, at the end of the article, Powell stresses: "It must not be imagined that these several groups… are rivals or competitors. They are not only friendly, but are allied to one another by so many close ties of blood, marriage, and business." And urges us to identify them as "a single great group, syndicate, dynasty, empire– the Unseen Empire of [JEWISH] Finance."
Conclusion: Even as early as 1909, this Unseen Empire dominated trade, industry, and finance the world over, and through their inconceivable wealth and power, also exercised the command of a sovereign over the national governments that were already permanently indebted to them. This financial empire INCLUDED those powers that today are presented as if they were independent opponents to the "Western powers"-- in Russia, China, and the Middle East. Never should we imagine that this financial empire vanished or was overthrown. Indeed, it is safe to conclude that they have only grown stronger, wealthier, and more powerful in the 114 years since Powell wrote this invaluable article.
