[size="3"][color="#008080"]# Rise of Napoleon[/color][/size]
In Paris, the Bank of France was organised in 1800, modeled on the Bank of England.
But Napoleon never trusted the Bank of France. He knew that when a government is dependent upon bankers for money, the bankers, not the leaders of the government, are in control. According to him:
[indent][color="#000000"]"The hand that gives is above the hand that takes.[color="#ff0000"] Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency: their sole object is gain.[/color]"[/color]
[/indent]
Back in America, in 1800, Thomas Jefferson became the 3rd president of the United States. By 1803 Jefferson and Napoleon had struck a deal. The U.S. would give Napoleon $3 million in gold, in exchange for a huge chunk of territory west the Mississippi river, the Louisiana purchase. With that $3 million Napoleon quickly forged an army and set off across Europe, conquering everything in his path.
But The Bank of England quickly rose to oppose him. They financed every nation in his path reaping the enormous profits of war. Prussia, Austria and finally Russia, all went heavenly into debt in a futile attempt to stop Napoleon.
Four years later, with the main French army in Russia, 30 year old Nathan Rothschild, the head of the London office of the Rothschild family, personally took charge of a bold plan, to smuggle a much needed shipment of gold right through France to finance an attack by the Duke of Wellington, from Spain. Nathan later bragged at a dinner party in London that it was the best business he had ever done. Little did he know he would do much better business in the near future.
Wellingtons attacks from the South and other defeats, eventually forced Napoleon to abdicate and Louis XVIII was crowned king. Napoleon was exiled from France.

While Napoleon was in exile, temporarily defeated by England and with the financial help of the Rothschilds, America was to trying to break free of its central bank as well.
In 1811 a bill was put before congress to renew the charter of The Bank of the United States. The debate grew very heated. The press core of the day attack the bank openly, calling it a great swindle.
Oh to have an independent press once again in America.<img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Some writers have claimed that Nathan Rothschild warned that the U.S. would find itself involved in a most disastrous war if the banks charter would not be renewed.
The renewal was defeated by a single vote in the house and was deadlocked in the senate. But by now, America's 4th president James Madison, was in the White House. His vice president, George Clinton, broke the tie in the senate and sent the bank into oblivion.
Within 5 months, England attacked the U.S. and the war of 1812 was on. But the British were still busy fighting Napoleon. And so the war of 1812 ended in a draw in 1814.
The Money Changers were temporary down, but it would take them only another 2 years to bring back their bank, bigger and stronger than ever.
[color="#008080"][size="3"]# Waterloo & Rothschild[/size][/color]
Nothing else in history more accurately demonstrates the ingenuity of the Rothschild family, then their control of the British stock market after Waterloo.
In 1815, a year after the end of the war of 1812 in America, Napoleon escaped his exile and returned to Paris. French troops were send out to capture him, but such was his charisma that the soldiers rallied around their old leader and hailed him as their emperor once again.
In march of 1815 Napoleon equipped an army which Britain's Duke of Wellington, defeated at Waterloo.
Some writers claimed Napoleon borrowed 5 million pounds from the Bank of England to rearm. But it appears these funds actually came from Hubbard Banking House in Paris.
Nevertheless, [color="#ff0000"]from about this point on, it was not unusual for privately controlled central banks to finance both sides in a war.[/color]
Why would a bank finance opposing sides in a war?
[color="#ff0000"]Because war is the biggest debt generator of them all.[/color]<img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />
A nation will borrow any amount for victory. The ultimate loser is loaned just enough to hold out the vain hope of victory and the ultimate winner is given enough to win. Besides such loans are usually conditioned upon the guarantee that the victor will honour the debts of the vanquished.
In the Waterloo battlefield, Napoleon suffered his final defeat. But no matter who won or lost, back in London, Nathan Rothschild planned to use the opportunity, to try to seize control over the British stock and bond market and possibly even The Bank of England.
Rothschild had stationed a trusted agent, a man named Rotworth, on the north side of the battlefield, closer to the English channel. Once the battle had been decided, [color="#000000"]Rotworth delivered the news of Waterloo to Nathan Rothschild, a full 24 hours before Wellington's own courier.[/color]
Rothschild hurried to the stock market. All eyes were on him. The Rothschilds had a legendary communications network.
Suddenly [color="#000000"]Nathan [/color][color="#000000"]Rothschild [/color][color="#000000"] began selling[/color]. Nervous investors saw that. It could only mean one thing: Napoleon must have won, Wellington must have lost. This meant that Napoleon was loose on the continent again and the British financial situation would become grave indeed.
[color="#ff0000"]The market plummeted.[/color]
Everyone was selling their consols, their British government bonds and prices dropped sharply. But [color="#000000"]then Rothschild started secretly buying up the consols through his agents for only a fraction of their worth hours before.[/color]
Myths, legends you say?
One hundred years later, the New York Times ran the story that Nathan Rothschild grandson had tempted to secure a court order to suppress a book with that stock market story in it. The Rothschild family claimed that the story was untrue and libelous.
But the court denied the Rothschilds request and ordered the family to pay the courts costs. Some authors claim that the day after the battle of Waterloo in a matter of hours, Nathan Rothschild came to dominate not only the bond market but The Bank of England as well.
Whether or not the Rothschild family seized control of The Bank of England, one thing is certain -- by the mid 1800th, the Rothschilds were the richest family in the world. They dominated the new government bond markets, and branched in other banks and industrial concerns. In fact, the rest of the 19th century was known as the age of the Rothschilds.
Despite this overwhelming wealth, the family has generally cultivated an aura of invisibility. Although the family controls scores of industrial, commercial, mining and tourist corporations, only a handful bear the Rothschild name. By the end of the 19th century, one expert estimated that the Rothschild family controlled half the wealth of the world.
But since the turn of the century (1900) the Rothschild have cultivated the notion that their power has somehow weaned even as their wealth increases.

Back in Washington in 1816, just one year after Waterloo and Rothschild's alleged takeover the Bank of England, the American congress passed a bill committing yet another privately own central bank. This bank was called The Second Bank of the United States. The new banks charter was a copy of the previous banks. The U.S. Government would own 20% of the shares of the bank. Of course the federal share was paid by the treasury up front into the bank coffers.
[color="#ff0000"]Then through the magic of fractional reserve lending, it was transformed into loans to private investors who then bought the remaining 80% of the shares. Just as before the primary stockholders remained a secret.[/color] The largest flock of shares, about 1/3 of the total, were sold to foreigners.
So some authors claim that by 1816 the Rothschilds had taken control over The Bank of England and backed a new privately owned central bank in America as well.
