Nathan Rothschild and the Battle of Waterloo http://goldfinancial.de 1814: With regard to the $3,000,000 Prince William IX of HesseHanau had entrusted to Mayer Amschel Rothschild for safekeeping, Rothschild kept the fortune and invested it in Gold to be used to fund and profit from the Napoleonic war. An account of this can be found in the Jewish Encyclopaedia, 1905 edition, Volume 10, page 494, which states: “According to legend this money was hidden away in wine casks in 1814, when the elector (Prince William IX of HesseHanau) returned to the electorate (Germany). The facts, though, are somewhat less romantic, and more businesslike.” This last line indicates that the money was never returned by Rothschild to Prince William IX of Hesse-Hanau. The encyclopaedia goes on to state, “Nathan Mayer Rothschild invested this $3,000,000 in gold from the East India Company knowing that it would be needed for Wellington’s peninsula campaign.” On the stolen money Nathan made, “no less than four profits: 1.On the sale of Wellington’s paper which he bought at 50 cents On the dollar and collected at par. 2.On the sale of gold to Wellington; 3. On its repurchase; and 4. On forwarding it to Portugal.” 1815: The five Rothschild brothers worked to supply gold to both Wellington’s army (through Nathan in England) and Napoleon’s army (through Jacob in France), and began their policy of funding both sides in wars. The Rothschilds loved wars because they were massive generators of risk free debt. This is because they are guaranteed by the government of a country, and therefore the efforts of the population of that country. It didn't matter if that country lost the war because the loans were given on the guarantee that the victor would honour the debts of the vanquished. Whilst the Rothschilds were funding both sides in this war, they used the banks they had spread out across Europe to give them the opportunity to set up an unrivalled postal service network of secret routes and fast couriers. The post that these couriers carried was opened up by these couriers and their details given to the Rothschilds so that they always were one step ahead of current events. Furthermore, these Rothschild couriers were the only merchants allowed to pass through the English and French blockades. It was these couriers who also kept Nathan Mayer Rothschild up to date with how the war was going so he could use that intelligence to buy and sell from his position on the stock exchange in accordance with that information. One of Rothschild’s couriers was a man named Rothworth. When the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo was won by the British, Rothworth took off for the Channel and was able to deliver this news to Nathan Mayer Rothschild a full 24 hours before Wellington’s own courier arrived in London. At that time British bonds were called consuls and they were traded on the floor of the stock exchange. Nathan Mayer Rothschild instructed all his workers on the floor to start selling consuls. They made all the other traders believe that the British had lost the war so they started selling frantically. Therefore the consuls plummeted in value and Nathan Mayer Rothschild then discreetly instructed his workers to purchase all the consuls they could lay their hands on. When news came through that the British had actually won the war, the consuls went up to a level even higher than before the war ended leaving Nathan Mayer Rothschild with a return of approximately 20 to 1 on his investment. This gave the Rothschild family complete control of the British economy which was then the financial centre of the world, following Napolean’s defeat and it forced England to set up a new Bank of England, which Nathan Mayer Rothschild controlled. Interestingly 100 years later the New York Times would run a story stating that Nathan Mayer Rothschild’s grandson had attempted to secure a court order to suppress publication of a book which had this insider trading story ...
