six million dollars in one day two days after the
famous battle of Waterloo, which marked the
beginning of the downfall of Napoleon. Nathan
also intervened in Spain in 1835, in revenge for
a government that did not want to do his will
despite corrupt payments made to the Spanish
Minister of Finance. Nathan spent, along with his
brother in Paris, nine million dollars to ruin the
Spanish securities, triggering a global crisis, ruin-
ing thousands of bond holders, while the Roths-
childs grew richer on the debris. His brother of
Vienna, Solomon, dared to write to a confidant:
“Tell Prince Metternich that the House of Roths-
child did all of this for vengeance.”
Scam on the back of France
The same technique continues to be used by
international bankers today. Austria was dismem-
bered after the Great War and the Rothschild
brother of Vienna was in pitiful shape financially,
but it was not for long. When French President
Poincaré, eight years later, prepared in conjunc-
tion with the Bank of France, a law to stabilize the
franc, James — the Rothschild of Paris, director
of the Bank of France (a private bank), was able
to warn his cousin in Vienna. The latter hastened
to buy francs down, and sell them upwards after
the adoption of the bill by the French parliament;
in less than a week he had redone his entire for-
tune on the backs of the French!
International finance has no country. It
covers everything, is everywhere, extends its
tentacles into all countries, sows ruins without
number and does not respond to anything. In
1931, Pope Pius XI wrote, in his encyclical letter
Quadragesimo anno, about “a no less deadly
and accursed iinternationalism of finance or
international imperialism whose country is
where profit is.”
American colonists revolted against England
in 1776 because of the greed of the financiers of
London who removed from the colonies the right
to make their own currencies making them com-
pletely dependent on the exploiters of London.
So the Americans were careful to state expressly
in their Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Part 5)
that only “Congress Congress shall have power
to coin money, and regulate the value thereof.”
The Americans won the war of independance
against England, their constitution remains, but
it is not the U.S. Congress that creates money or
regulates its value.
Why is that so? It is that even though the
British government lost the war against the
Americans, the international financiers won
theirs, and continue to exploit America as a
colony of international finance. America was
not a prey to let go, as it was already becom-
ing very rich and vast portions of the continent
were not yet developped.
Alexander Hamilton
In all their major operations to take a coun-
try in their mesh, the masters of finance operate
through generally unsuspected intermediaries.
In the case of the birth of the American Repub-
lic, the man of the hour was Alexander Hamil-
ton.
Hamilton was born in the West Indies. Fascin-
ated by the magic of figures and accounts, at the
age of 13, he went
to work for Henry
Cruger, the largest
merchant in the
Caribbees. At the age
of 17, he left for New
York, which was his
home until his death
in the duel with his
business and polit-
ical rival, Aaron Burr,
in 1804.
Hamilton took part
in theWar of Independ-
ence and was for some
time secretary of General in chief George Wash-
ington. During his services under Washington,
he constantly studied money, coin, gold, silver,
foreign exchange, etc. With his elitist philosophy
he believed it to be a natural law that the mass of
humanity were subservent to a very small elite,
so he always admired the system of a privately-
owned central bank provided with sovereign
privileges, such as the Bank of England.
During the war of independence, the Amer-
ican colonies revolted and issued their own
debt-free currency. The European financiers,
ruling creators and lenders of debt-money,
could not tolerate such audacity. They took
down the value of the U.S. currency by flooding
the colonies with counterfeit bills. This power
between private hands fascinated Hamilton
and stimulated him in his studies and research;
he wanted to wanted to learn how the private
money creators had been able to destroy the
