The Illuminati Were Amateurs The Facts Show These Five Families Rule the WorldBy Claire Bernish Of those at the top of food chain, so to speak, a small collection of families dictates both domestic and foreign policy mainly through fueling war and conflict for the good of the military and pharmaceutical industries, and to a greater extent, corporate and central banks. Five families, in particular, have made a killing off killing from the enormously lucrative business of debt it creates to the industries feeding off the plundering of world resources and therefore control the world. Perhaps the most well-known among those five are the Rothschilds, whose dominance of central banks, nefarious insider trading, and nearly invisible hand in world governance without consideration for the greater good frequently earns the blanket description, evil. Mayer Amschel Rothschilds dealing in rare coins and antiques in Frankfurt, Germany, in the 1760s earned a rich patronage, allowing him to broaden his focus to include banking by the 1790s. In its 2005 list of 20 of The Most Influential Businessmen of all time, Forbes describes Rothschild as a founding father of international finance, who helped invent modern banking by introducing concepts such as diversification, rapid communication, confidentiality and high volume. Carrying on the various aspects of the family businesses, Rothschilds five sons effectively formed a multinational bank. During the Napoleonic Wars, they facilitated loans to warring regimes and traded in cotton, arms, and wheat in defiance of Napoleons ban on British exports cementing the familys prominence in political circles as well as influence over governmental affairs. Nathan Mayer Rothschild formed the eponymous bank in London and financed the Duke of Wellingtons interests during those wars. Estimates of the Rothschild familys net worth vary greatly, in part because Mayer Amschel dictated a male-only inheritance structure in his will, forcing female descendants into family marriages to maintain their grasp on wealth. Additionally, the sheer number of family members and locations of Rothschild financial and business dealings make assessing the totality of family wealth virtually impossible though its rumored to be in the hundreds of billions. Cloaked in secrecy for centuries, rumors concerning the Rothschild family run the gamut including the widely held suspicion it maintains a degree of control over the U.S. federal reserve. One defining fact about the Rothschilds noted by both establishment historians and so-called conspiracy theorists, alike has been its astonishing abilities to not only maintain such a high degree of wealth and influence, but to keep numerous businesses under family control over such a long period of time. Mergers and partnerships aid have absolutely assisted the Rothschilds rise to power, such as the 2012 purchase by the Rothschild Investment Trust of a 37 percent stake in Rockefeller Financial Services which cemented the familys financial ties to the second dynasty in this list. Son of a conman, John Davidson Rockefeller effectively began to solidify his American empire after buying out several partners who owned Clevelands largest oil refinery in 1865 which became the foundation for the formation of the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870. By then purchasing rival refineries and distributing its oil around the world, Standard and Rockefeller established a staggering monopoly on the industry, cornering some 90 percent of Americas refineries and pipelines. Rockefellers pursuit of the market extended to every facet of Standards business, and In order to exploit economies of scale, Standard Oil did everything from build its own oil barrels to employ its own scientists to figure out new uses for petroleum by-products, according to History.com. Simply labeling Standard Oil a monopoly not only undercuts the companys breadth, but downplays the savage and covert tactics Rockefeller employed to maintain its control over American oil. Thanks in part to a series of 19 articles by Ida Tarbell, published in 1902 by McClures Magazine, the U.S. attorney under Pres. Theodore Roosevelt sued Standard Oil of New Jersey under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Over the course of the 1908 trial, Standard Oils dubious practices came to light including secret deals with railroads, corporate spies, and bribes of elected officials, among other things. Rockefeller was accused of crushing out competition, getting rich on rebates from railroads, bribing men to spy on competing companies, of making secret agreements, of coercing rivals to join the Standard Oil Company under threat of being forced out of business, building up enormous fortunes on the ruins of other men, and so on, the New York Times summarized in 1937. Though the trial resulted in the fractioning of Standard Oil into 34 companies, the government permitted the original stockholders, including Rockefeller, to keep their ownership stakes while putatively acting as competitors. Thus, the monopoly effectively continued for at least another decade afterward, though it arguably lives on in the exertion of power by companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and BP just a few of those resulting from the official destruction of the Standard Oil empire. Called historys richest man by Forbes in 2014, at the time of John D. Rockefellers death in 1937, his assets equaled 1.5% of Americas total economic output. To control an equivalent share today would require a net worth of about $340 billion, more than four times that of Bill Gates, whom the publication listed as the worlds richest man at the time of the article. Other estimates imagine Rockefellers worth closer to $400 billion, and considering his habit of shady business practices, it wouldnt be difficult to believe some of his fortune remained secreted away from the public spotlight. All notoriety aside, Rockefeller stands as a testament to self-education, with his only formal training being a ten-week course in accounting though it remains a matter of conjecture what good could have been accomplished had he focused his craftiness on other pursuits. In 2015, the approximately 200 descendants comprising the Rockefeller family were conservatively estimated to have a combined net worth of $11 billion placing the dynasty well below the top of the list of Americas richest, at #22. Grandson David Rockefeller was, in 1954, among the founding members of the Bilderberg Group whose highly secretive annual meetings have long been fodder for theories that ultra-elite families seek to gain or maintain control of world governments. A panic inundated the U.S. in 1893, partly resulting from fear about the flow of the countrys surplus gold to foreign nations but John Pierpont Morgan seized the opportunity to save the economy and restore confidence in the dollar. Morgan had followed in his fathers footsteps in the banking industry, and formed J.P. Morgan Company in 1895 which, in effect, rescued the gold standard. In an agreement with then-President Grover Cleveland, Morgan led a syndicate of bankers which, incidentally, included Rothschild to sell U.S. bonds to buy back gold from foreign investors. The firm offered the bonds for sale at $112.25 and sold out the entire issue in New York within 22 minutes, according to J.P.Morgan.com. With that gold and bond exchange, Morgan controlled the U.S. gold supply allowing him the flexibility to then finance the creation of U.S. Steel, after an offer to buyout Andrew Carnegie for a price in excess of the U.S. governments entire budget. After threatening Westinghouse which had employed Nikola Teslas electricity using alternating current with a patent infringement lawsuit, Morgan gained control of the emerging electric light industry and formed General Electric. Morgans unethical, cutthroat business practices the creation of monopolies by eliminating competition, maximizing profits by slashing jobs and reducing wages, and lack of workplace safety became known as morganization. In fact, figures like Morgan became known as robber barons for such tactics their uninhibited greed fueled a severe stratification of wealth and became a popular target for muckraking journalists. And his attempts to profit while exerting influence didnt stop there. In an investigation afterward, it was revealed America had entered World War I, not for political and policy concerns, but for the profits of the banking and munitions industries. Senator Gerald P. Nye, who headed the eponymous Nye Committee, vowed at the outset, when the Senate investigation is over, we shall see that war and preparation for war is not a matter of national honor and national defense, but a matter of profit for the few. As it turned out, U.S. banks, including Morgans, lent over 100 times as much money to allied countries than it had to adversaries and in order to protect those loans, the financiers urged the Wilson Administration to come to the aid of their allies by joining the war. Dubbed the merchants of death, arms manufacturers were again rumored to ally with the Morgans in the buildup to the second world war. Recent rumors have suggested a far comfortable relationship than the public would prefer, between what is now JP Morgan Chase and the Federal Reserve. Despite the U.S. abandoning the gold standard, the New York Fed still houses the countrys precious metals in a fifth sub-basement across the street from JPMs own fifth sub-basement-situated gold vault. As Business Insider noted about the ZeroHedge report, which brought the seeming less-than-coincidental locales back into the spotlight in 2013, the public at large will likely never know if a tunnel exists connecting the two gold vaults. Considering the sheer number of military conflicts Americans would rather their government not have been part of over the last century, the old allegations of Morgan family war profiteering become quite pertinent. Pierre Samuel, Sieur du Pont de Nemours was a French economist whose protean political views both led him to be imprisoned during the French Revolution, when his views were found to be too moderate, and later to play an instrumental role in negotiating French side of the Louisiana Purchase. After being held as a prisoner of war during the French Revolution, leuthre Irne du Pont de Nemours fled to the United States, where he founded the empire responsible for such ubiquitous inventions as nylon, Teflon, and Kevlar, beginning with a gunpowder mill in Delaware. After becoming the largest supplier of gunpowder to the U.S. military in the early 1800s, DuPont began manufacturing dynamite, growing to such incredible proportions through collusion with its competition in the Powder Trust to fix prices its monopoly on the industry was broken up under the Sherman Antitrust Act. However, similar to J.P. Morgan, DuPonts supposed breakup allowed the family to maintain dominance over the munitions industry; and during the first world war, it supplied nearly 40 percent of all munitions used by allied forces. Its ventures as military munitions supplier expanded from that point, and the company played a key role in the Manhattan Projects development and production of the first atomic bomb which the U.S. readily used to decimate Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. DuPont reportedly produced 4.5 billion pounds of military explosives used over the course of that war. Rumors still circulate about DuPonts possible role in the prohibition of hemp and cannabis, due to its breakthrough patent of nylon and a process for using wood pulp to manufacture paper in 1937. While both products could facilely be replaced by hemp, which arguably would have severely limited DuPonts massive profits, those rumors have yet to be either summarily proven or thoroughly debunked. DuPont also claims infamy as the second largest producer of genetically-modified corn and soy in the world and has seeds in cold storage inside Norways Svalbard Global Seed Vault itself the subject of countless theories designed to be able to replant the earth should an apocalyptic event come to pass. One of the largest family dynasties, the du Pont clans estimated 3,500 members own the nations oldest billion-dollar family fortune, according to Forbes. Documents declassified in 2003 revealed Yale Skull and Bones society member, Prescott Sheldon Bush George W.s grandfather could have been prosecuted for providing aid and comfort to the enemy for nefarious business dealings during the build up to, during, and after World War II. As the Guardian reported in 2004, the National Archives documents show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis plans and policies, [Prescott Bush] worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitlers rise to power. That description only vaguely scratches the surface of both the Bush familys and U.S. apparent involvement in possible criminal activity surrounding the second world war. Though entire books are devoted to the subject, a lawsuit brought against the U.S. government and Bush family in 2004 claimed both materially benefited from slave labor at Auschwitz and because the government knew what was taking place, it should have bombed the camp, the Guardian reported. A petition asking for an opinion from the Hague reportedly stated, From April 1944 on, the American Air Force could have destroyed the camp with air raids, as well as the railway bridges and railway lines from Hungary to Auschwitz. The murder of about 400,000 Hungarian Holocaust victims could have been prevented. At the heart of the case, brought by two survivors, was an executive order signed in January 1944 by Pres. Roosevelt mandating the government to take all steps necessary to save European Jews which, lawyers said, was ignored because of pressure brought by a group of big American companies, including [Brown Brothers Harriman], where Prescott Bush was a director, said the Guardian. Whether Bush had actually been a Nazi sympathizer or had just grossly capitalized on the Nazis extreme human rights abuses will probably never be known with certainty, though both the Bush family and U.S. government deny all allegations in the matter. One stunning conspiracy Bush did, in fact, take part in that did prove true involving the same Bush-led companies as in the Nazi matter, as well as those of other families on this list has been so lost to history, its often discussed as rumor. There was, indeed, a plot to overthrow the U.S. government and install a fascist dictatorship by most of the magnates on this list and others and were it not for the suspicions of renowned Marine General Smedley Butler, the coup would have succeeded. Feeling threatened by Roosevelts New Deal, wealthy businessmen organized The American Liberty League and in 1934, approached Butler with what they felt to be a tantalizing offer $3 million up front and $300 million subsequent to the success of the coup, which would involve 500,000 veterans of the first world war. The League was headed by the DuPont and JP Morgan cartels and had major support from Andrew Mellon Associates, Pew (Sun Oil), Rockefeller Associates, EF Hutton Associates, US Steel, General Motors, Chase, Standard Oil, and Goodyear Tires, CounterPunch explained. Funding for the coup would be secreted away by Prescott Bushs Union Banking Corporation and Harriman Brothers Brown the same companies with strikingly apparent ties to the Nazis. As revealed later, Bushs connections to Hitler had been a draw for those plotting the fascist coup, and they later claimed the Nazi-headed German government had offered to assist materially in the plan. Though the plotters brazen plan would almost certainly have failed on its own, Butlers secret testimony before the McCormack-Dickstein Committee revealed the groups intent to install a fascist dictatorship of a similar vein to Germanys complete with concentration camps. A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy, wrote U.S. Ambassador to Germany, William Dodd, in a 1936 letter to Roosevelt. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime A prominent executive of one of the largest corporations, told me point blank that he would be ready to take definite action to bring fascism into America if President Roosevelt continued his progressive policies. Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there. Propagandists for fascist groups try to dismiss the fascist scare. We should be aware of the symptoms. When industrialists ignore laws designed for social and economic progress they will seek recourse to a fascist state when the institutions of our government compel them to comply with the provisions. Over 4,300 pages of testimony were collected by the McCormack-Dickstein Committee part of the House Un-American Activities Committee until its disbanding at the end of 1934. Butler, who pretended to accept the plot in order to gather as much information as possible, provided key evidence in the investigation. In the last few weeks of the committees official life it received evidence that certain persons had made an attempt to establish a fascist organization in this country There is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if financial backers deemed it expedient, the Committees report stated. Indeed, propaganda had so readily touted the League for its, albeit hollow and obviously false, claims it would help the common worker and restore so-called American ideals, researching the plot has been difficult even for historians. TIME Magazine, the New York Times, and other publications have so whitewashed the plotted coup as to make it appear theory instead of proven fact. In what might be the most revealing aspect of the planned coup, no one not a single business or businessman involved was ever prosecuted over the matter. No criminal charges were levied, no repercussions handed down nothing. Most telling of all is the same families for all their dirty deeds to an actual, planned coup dtat remain thoroughly entrenched as the American economic aristocracy today. War is a racket, Butler famously wrote. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. The folks at Dark5 have made theshort video below summarizing the information above.

I knew the Bushes were treacherous, but I didnt know they were one of the 5 controlling families. How disgusting is that? The fact that two of their number ended up being elected to the top leadership position in the land just proves to me that the American voter is beyond ignorant! The Bushes are bad actors, but Im not certain theyre in the same league as the rest of these scum suckers. Ive been researching this for decades, and Im extremely skeptical about the Bush Family being this powerful, to say the least. Even the ROCKEFELLERS, while perhaps kings of the US, are chump change compared to the old families going back eons. I agree with your analysis. These kinds of articles are meant to distract from the real players. Dont look behind curtain number three.. Precisely The Rockefellers are a powerful family but all these families really march to the tune of the Rothschilds. Notice most of these banker families are GERMAN. Even the Queen of England is German as well as the Bush family (possible real spelling is Busch?) All these banking families (yes, the Bush family are bankers as well) have funded all the wars on both sides. All these families are FASCIST and are the creators of the EU and the fascism taking hold of North America today. The New World Order is really the Fourth Reich rebranded because calling it the Fourth Reich would greatly alarm people and they would rise up and stop it. New World sounds so benignkind of friendlyeh? The Bush clan are mid circle Pilgrims Society members who have done much government service for the inner circle, which would include Rockefeller, Rothschild, Windsor (British royalshistorys biggest landowners), the Astors, Vanderbilts, Mellons, FitzAlan-Howards, Grosvenors and a few others. Such articles entirely miss the bigger pointwhile no one on the outside can know just how much wealth each dynasty represents, the fact is theyre all united in The Pilgrims Society, created in 1902-1903 to gradually absorb the wealth of the world (see Review of Reviews, May 1902, pages 556-558). Ferdinand Lundberg in Americas 60 Families (1937) was in a position to know something of The Pilgrims Society, but made no mention of them. Smaller yet important dynasties are representedFirestone, Kimberly (Kimberly-Clark Corporation), Phippses (Carnegie and US Steel), Iselins (Manhattan real estate and finance), Schermerhorns (ditto) Schieffelins (Pharma, booze and chemicals), Kleinworts (City of London), Warburgs, Roosevelts, Drexels, Harrimans et al. Nope They tried to get Jeb Bush in office and had him at the top of the list. The Bush crime family is way up there also. Check this out Bush lied search youtube for a_cciUzoLwo or for leading to war Crap, I read all of that just to find it to be an example of Bush Derangement Syndrome. The Bush family more influential than the House of Windsor? Right. This article leaves out the Vatican, so I understand your comment. But the bush scum are high up on the global treason and evil. Higher than the british end of things, maybe not. They all deserve to be taken down. Period. BDS is BS. You should know the Vatican is nothing more than a puppet, and has no real power, nor has it since the dawn of the (Rosicrucian) Enlightenment and the various revolutions that would follow. Man is given free-will, free choice of action. He can live for the cravings of the fleshly nature alone ; or, he is at liberty to change the cravings of the flesh into desires, thoughts, and longings that are in harmony with the Divine Ideal. To do the latter is to do the will of God. Through this process of change, he arouses and awakens the latent divine spark within his being. It becomes the Illumined, Individualized Soul, because he has transmuted the fleshly, carnal nature, the personality, into qualities of a Godly Individuality. When this is accomplished, the divine spark has become the awakened soul. To attain to perfection one must acquire the knowledge of unity, which is above wisdom : one must rise to the divine Being who is above the soul, above the intelligence. This divine Being, this sublime Friend is in each one of us, God dwells within each man, though few can find him. This is the Path of salvation. Once thou hast perceived the perfect Being who is above the world and within thyself, do thou decide to abandon the enemy, which takes the form of desire. and now we can see a new world orderits a big idea Senior Bush. Thanks gawain. Barry and The Boys is going for $143 $225 on amazon. But didnt Barry get shotgunned in a Baton Rouge parking lot? While in protective custody? If only their were some entity or group that could take out these satanists. The head of the snake needs to come off. What a beautiful world we could have. The alternative is slavery and misery for all the worlds people. This article is so lame as to be laughable. The Bushes #1 and the Rothschilds # 5? Oh jeez. Is the writer a joo? The Rothschilds are at the top and have been since Napoleons defeat at Waterloo. Rockefeller (crypto joo) and Morgan were agents of the Rothschilds. The author should invert the list, then she would have credibility. Aliester Crowley What about him? OUR FATHER Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. The rule of life for a perfect person is to be in the image and likeness of God. LOVE is the power of the Universe. And I take it the author of the article above is not aware the Bavarian Illuminati was not the first nor the last Illuminati order, that the bloodlines he points to would be initiates into some of these orders and/or their subordinates.. (e.g. Moriah Conquering Wind / Masters of the Temple, the Committee of 300, the Skull Bones Society / Brotherhood of Death, the Palladian Rite, the Ordo Templi Orientis, the AA / Order of the Silver Star, the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, etc). Thanks, but this seems like a reduction of Fritz Springmeiers Bloodlines Of The Illuminati and is just scratching the surface. Not mentioned here are all the Black Nobility families whose bloodline goes back to the 11th or 12th century, and are still extremely powerful today, just not as well-known as the Rothschilds. Names like Medici, Plantagenet, etc. The Bush Familys connection to the Nazis wasnt casual at all. Prescott Bush and his banking cronies Brown, Harriman and the rest were caught and fined by the Roosevelt administration in 1942 under the Trading With The Enemy Act. Brown and Harriman are offshoots of the Rothschildsthe same Rothschilds who financed the Bolshevik Revolution, while making it appear to the public to be a massive peasant uprising. This article is histrionics in the extreme. The alleged Sins of Our Fathers in play here again, is as if ones familial alleged history of misdeeds has contaminated all thereafter generations in perpetuity with the same mindset. This is simplistic pablum for the masses here to get these usual elementary, brief accusations stated as seeming fact to prejudicially convince the masses that these families always were, are, and will be evil basis their suspected proclivities to gain wealth and power at the expense of everyone else.
