Passages from Leese's book Gentile Folly
"Among the stockbroking firms which work for the Rothschilds is Vickers da Costa, a partner in which is Mr. Winston Churchillβs brother, Mr. J. S. S. Churchill."
"It is said that when Lord Randolph Churchill made his extensive tour through South Africa in 1891 he was acting as agent to obtain information for the Rothschilds, who, of course, knew of the diamonds and gold which were being worked there."
"Disraeli and Lionel worked together against Russia. Disraeli was very friendly with Napoleon III., who mistrusted the Rothschild family. Over a trivial dispute in Palestine, Disraeli managed to persuade Napoleon to join with Britain in the Crimean War against Russia. Lionel Rothschild raised sixteen million pounds for the purpose of carrying out this war."
"Russia was always the Jewsβ most hated enemy, being the only country in Europe which steadfastly defended its interests against Jewish penetration by refusing to recognise Jews as Russians and compelling them to live and remain in particular localities known as the Pale of Settlement. It was always therefore the Jewsβ policy to impress upon Britain that Russia must never get an outlet into the Mediterranean and also that she was a constant danger to India."
"Nathan Rothschild made a tremendous profit by getting early news of the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, and buying up depressed stocks in an anxious England before the man-in-the-street was aware of Wellingtonβs and Blucherβs success. He shared his knowledge with the Government, no doubt, because to have done otherwise would obviously have deprived him of the Governmentβs confidence and prevented future business dealings."
"When Pius IX. had sought safety from the revolutionaries of 1848, he needed Rothschild loans to enable him to regain his temporal power: they did not grant him the loan until he promised to pull down the ghetto walls in Rome and establish freedom of movement and abolition of special taxes for Jews; this he refused to do until 1850, when the loan of thirty-three million francs was granted to him, on that condition. Payments of interest soon got into arrears (Daily Telegraph, 2nd Nov., 1935), which may be the reason that long after the Rothschild House in Naples had been closed down, the Rothschilds remained guardians of the Papal Treasure!"
"In 1878, the Rothschilds scored two bulls-eyes, marrying into two of the aristocratic families of France and England, respectively."
"The Sassoons: This family of Baghdad Jews is related by marriage to the Rothschilds. It represents the Rothschild power in India and China."
"The Franco-Prussian War finished Napoleon III., and when he abdicated it was the Rothschild-Cremieux agent Gambetta who became Minister of the Interior to the Republic, and, by virtue of Rothschild money, its dictator. It was Gambetta who conducted the negotiations on behalf of defeated France with Bismarck, who, in turn was advised by another Jew, a former revolutionary of 1848, Ludwig Bamberger, a friend of Cremieux, who had for four years been manager of the Paris Branch of the Jew Bank of Bischoffsheim & Goldschmidt; whilst Alphonse βbecame head of the syndicate of French bankers which guaranteed the payment of the indemnity of five milliard francs by France to Germany.β (B, Vol. X., p. 498). Everything was in the Rothschild grip again, so they were unshaken by the Franco-Prussian War. They financed the Commune of 1871, and the residence of Alphonse was, most significantly, untouched by communist mobs (A, Vol. II., p. 425)..."
"The Rothschilds were not by any means universally trusted, but when they failed to obtain the handling of a loan, they resorted to the operation known as βbearing.β They would employ every means of propaganda to attack and depress the stocks of governments which had employed other agents for raising the loans."
"Nathaniel was the Rothschild who financed Rhodes in South Africa."
