Todayinah Editor Editor says, what if the Rothschild Banking Empire had never been? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s). This story was published in the October 2012 edition of Changing the Times Magazine.

In 1770, on this day in Frankfurt am Main, the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel dismissed his Jewish financier, Mayer Amschel Rothschild (pictured). His duties had included the arrangement of funding for Hessian mercenaries, a highly lucrative business that would expand rapidly after the French Revolution.
An article from Robbie Taylor's Protocols of the Elders of Zion thread.

At the Sign of the Red ShieldBorn in the Frankfurt ghetto known as "Judengasse" (Jew Alley), the Rothschild ancestry traced back to the name of their family house zum roten Schild ("at the sign of the red shield"). Mayer Amschel was one of eight children of Amschel Moses Rothschild and his wife Schönche Rothschild née Lechnich.

His father had a business in the trade of goods and currency exchange and eventually became a personal supplier of coins to the Prince of Hesse. The family home above the shop had a front wall only eleven feet wide, where more than thirty people lived at that time. From this location, Mayer began to slowly rebuild his business career. He established a dealership in rare coins, largely recovering his reputation by his death in 1812. By then Hessian mercenaries were being transported in very large numbers to British North America. But by a quirk of fortune, the Rothschild's were drawn back into that business at the request of Astrid Pflaume. The architect of the Greater Zionist Resistance Movement (GZR), she had traveled back through time to create the enemy that the Nazis had always imagined. And of course, she needed a suitable financier.
All of Robbie Taylor's novels are available for download at Amazon.

Todayinah Editor Editor says, in reality he was the founder of the Rothschild family international banking dynasty that became the most successful business family in history. In 2005, he was ranked 7th on the Forbes magazine list of "The Twenty Most Influential Businessmen Of All Time". The business magazine referred to him as a "founding father of international finance".


Readers Comment Robbie Taylor commented on 2012-10-09 17:41:19 ~ If you're going to create the conspiracy you've always feared, you can't leave out one of its leading lights...

Readers Comment Eric Oppen commented on 2013-01-30 06:05:13 ~ Wouldn't some other banker more-or-less replace him?

Readers Comment Jackie Rose commented on 2013-01-30 12:09:30 ~ The Rothschilds have been the target of anti-semitism ever since, to the point where we still here some bigots blaming all our woes on "the Rothschilds and Rockefellers." If the Rothschilds had never risen to prominence, that bigotry might have been much less severe.

Readers Comment Sailorbarsoom commented on 2013-01-30 19:48:15 ~ Conspiracy theorists would substitute some other (probably Jewish) family. "It's all because of the Rockefellers and the Kantroviches! And, and Freud and Einstein were in on it too!!"

Readers Comment Jackie Rose commented on 2013-01-31 12:01:11 ~ Some anti-Semites added Roosevelt to the Three R's...Rothschild, Rockefeller and Roosevelt. The Nazi slogan went, "Jews govern, suckers fight...vote for Roosevelt's Hebrew might." However, the bigots met their match in Eleanor, when she was asked if she had Jewish ancestors. She replied, "My Uncle Teddy used to say that that's where we got our intelligence."

Readers Comment Sailorbarsoom commented on 2013-01-31 17:55:31 ~ Eleanor was a brilliant and crafty woman, in an age when women were expected to be neither.
