The name Rothschild is arguably the most powerful
in the world of high finance. The family operates
in a rarefied, aristocratic and largely private
realm of mega-investments and major shareholdings
in international banks. As you read this,
Nathaniel Rothschild is concluding a deal to turn
a £100m investment into a new £1bn gas and oil company, in 11 days.
But now, at a centre for the Rothschild
Foundation and Archive at the family's historic
home, the Waddesdon Manor estate in
Buckinghamshire, the inner workings of this great
dynasty between 1839 and 1957 have become
available to the public in a new complex of
buildings at Windmill Hill designed by Stephen Marshall.
They include a large archive store, and seminar
and meeting rooms. Marshall, whose other projects
have included the sculpture gallery at Roche
Court, Hampshire, has created a refined modernist
courtyard on a hilltop site overlooking the Vale
of Aylesbury. Beautifully crafted in oak, brick
and glass, the restrained forms are the opposite
of the grossly splendid and literally gilt-edged
19th-century architecture of Waddesdon Manor.
The financial ascent of the Rothschilds began in
the late 18th century in Germany and extended to
lending banks, industrialists and governments
vast sums of money. Such was the family's power
that, according to Niall Ferguson, historian and
author of The Ascent of Money, the Rothschilds
decided the outcome of the Napoleonic Wars by
putting their financial weight behind Britain.
Today, the family's core businesses have assets
worth nearly €30bn, but the value of their
network of financial holdings runs into trillions of dollars.
But is that more interesting than the chance to
sit down in a stylish Eames chair at a large oak
table and pore over the personal papers of a
family whose wealth and influence makes even
outlandishly rich fictional characters such as
Orson Welles' Citizen Kane and F. Scott
Fitzgerald's omniscient Jay Gatsby look like
barrow-boys? Academics, and the casually
inquisitive, can now riffle through the papers of
Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839-98), his
sister Alice (1847-1922), James Armand de
Rothschild (1878-1957) and his wife Dorothy, and
the current head of the family, Jacob, 4th Lord
Rothschild. The Windmill Hill archive also holds
papers relating to the Palestine Jewish
Colonisation Association, founded by Baron Edmond
de Rothschild in 1924 to settle displaced Jews in
self-supporting agricultural communities.
The archive is a treasure-trove of the fine
detail of lives ensconced in ultimate privilege.
There are menus and recipes, including for lunch
when Queen Victoria visited Waddesdon Manor in
1890. Alice de Rothschild's letters to her head
gardener, George Johnson, can be seen, along with
her flower arrangement instructions; and there
will surely be a queue of feverishly whimpering
vinophiles desperate to sniff out spectacularly grand wine-lists.
The family described by Niall Ferguson as "the
world's banker" has chosen to reveal its
difference by exposing something of its history,
charitable work, and cultural and environmental projects.
Rothschilds at a glance
* The founder of the Rothschild fortune, Mayer
Amschel Rothschild, a goldsmith and money-lender,
settled in the Jewish ghetto in Frankfurt in 1744.
* The British branch of the business was founded
by one of Mayer's sons, Nathan.
* Nathan's grandson, also Nathan, was the first
Jew to sit in the House of Lords, as Baron Rothschild in 1885.
* In 1996, Amschel Rothschild, under pressure to
work in the family bank, hanged himself in a London hotel.
* Nathaniel Rothschild, who was in the Bullingdon
Club at Oxford University with the Chancellor,
George Osborne, was the family playboy until
1996, when he suddenly developed an appetite for
creating money out of nowhere and lending it out at interest.

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that
shall not be made known. What I tell you in
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.

Please consider seriously the reason why these elite institutions are not discussed in the mainstream press despite the immense financial and political power they wield?
There are sick and evil occultists running the Western World. They are power mad lunatics like something from a kids cartoon with their fingers on the nuclear button! Armageddon is closer than you thought. Only God can save our souls from their clutches, at least that's my considered opinion - Tony
