There is no monolithic effort to create a new world order.
There are hundreds if not thousands of massive and ever evolving groups all seeking power.
There is not a singular monolith, no. However, there are a handful of monolithic power groups that are vastly outnumber all others, both in numbers and available resources.
The most infamous power group is the one headed by the
Rothschild family, which goes back all the way to at least the 19th century. More recently, however, it has become threatened by a far more recent power block, with
Sheldon Adelson as its public face.
The fact that there are multiple power blocks doesn't change the fact that some of these power blocks are far more powerful than most can imagine!
The Rothchilds haven't been a massive before since before WWII.
The Rothschild family is as influential as it gets. The only families that came even close, were the House of Medici and the House of Habsburg.
Consider Jacob Rothschild: just one of many prominent members from this illustrious family.
Today, Jacob is Chairman of RIT Capital Partners plc, one of the largest investment trusts quoted on the London Stock Exchange with a net asset value of about £2 billion.
He is Chairman of J Rothschild Capital Management, a subsidiary of RIT Capital Partners plc.
In 2002, he was awarded the Order of Merit by Her Majesty the Queen. Members of the Order are limited in number to 24 and the order is given to those who have rendered exceptionally meritorious service in the field of the arts, learning, literature and science. He also was awarded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire in 1997.
From November 2003 until his retirement in 2008, he was Deputy Chairman of BSkyB Television and until 2008 he was a Director of RHJ International.
Also in 2003, Rothschild came under scrutiny when Russian oil industrialist Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s shares in YUKOS passed to him under a deal they concluded prior to Khodorkovsky’s arrest.
In 2006, Jacob became a Founding Partner and Advisory Board Member of Xander Real Estate (India).
In November 2010, an undisclosed entity affiliated with Rothschild purchased a 5.0% equity interest in Genie Energy, a subsidiary of IDT Corporation, for $10.0 million. In 2013, Genie Energy was granted exclusive oil and gas exploration rights to a 153-square mile radius in the southern part of the Golan Heights.
He is also a Member of the Council for the Duchy of Cornwall for HRH The Prince of Wales and a member of the International Advisory Board of The Blackstone Group. He also retains many other venture capital and property interests.
His country estate has been a regular venue for visiting heads of state including Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Margaret Thatcher received French President François Mitterrand there at a summit in 1990. He hosted the European Economic Round Table conference in 2002, attended by such figures as James Wolfensohn, former president of the World Bank, Nicky Oppenheimer, Warren Buffett and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
From his headquarters in St James’s Place in London, Jacob Rothschild has cultivated an influential set of clients, business associates and friends who have extended his interests far beyond the normal scope of a banker. He was a close personal friend of Diana, Princess of Wales and maintains strong personal and business links with Henry Kissinger.
Jacob Rothschild has also followed the Rothschild family’s charitable interests in Israel and is the chairman of Yad Hanadiv, the family foundation which gave theKnesset and the Supreme Court buildings to Israel. He is also President of The Rothschild Foundation (Hanadiv) Europe, and Patron and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Rothschild Foundation. In addition, he is Honorary President of the Institute for Jewish Policy Research.
All this… for just ONE of many prominent members of this family…
