Synopsis

Born in Prussia on May 5, 1818, Karl Marx began exploring sociopolitical theories at university among the
Young Hegelians. He became a journalist, and his socialist writings would get him expelled from Germany
and France. In 1848, he published The Communist Manifesto with Friedrich Engels and was exiled to London,
where he wrote the first volume of Das Kapital and lived the remainder of his life.

Early Life
Karl Heinrich Marx was one of nine children born to Heinrich and Henrietta Marx in Trier, Prussia. His father
was a successful lawyer who revered Kant and Voltaire, and was a passionate activist for Prussian reform.
Although both parents were Jewish with rabbinical ancestry, Karls father converted to Christianity in 1816 at
the age of 35.
This was likely a professional concession in response to an 1815 law banning Jews from high society. He was
baptized a Lutheran, rather than a Catholic, which was the predominant faith in Trier, because he equated
Protestantism with intellectual freedom. When he was 6, Karl was baptized along with the other children, but
his mother waited until 1825, after her father died.
Marx was an average student. He was educated at home until he was 12 and spent five years, from 1830 to
1835, at the Jesuit high school in Trier, at that time known as the Friedrich-Wilhelm Gymnasium. The
schools principal, a friend of Marxs father, was a liberal and a Kantian and was respected by the people of
Rhineland but suspect to authorities. The school was under surveillance and was raided in 1832.

Education
In October of 1835, Marx began studying at the University of Bonn. It had a lively and rebellious culture, and
Marx enthusiastically took part in student life. In his two semesters there, he was imprisoned for drunkenness
and disturbing the peace, incurred debts and participated in a duel. At the end of the year, Marxs father
insisted he enroll in the more serious University of Berlin.
In Berlin, he studied law and philosophy and was introduced to the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel, who had
been a professor at Berlin until his death in 1831. Marx was not initially enamored with Hegel, but he soon
became involved with the Young Hegelians, a radical group of students including Bruno Bauer and Ludwig
Feuerbach, who criticized the political and religious establishments of the day.
In 1836, as he was becoming more politically zealous, Marx was secretly engaged to Jenny von Westphalen, a
sought-after woman from a respected family in Trier who was four years his senior. This, along with his
increasing radicalism, caused his father angst. In a series of letters, Marxs father expressed concerns about
what he saw as his sons demons, and admonished him for not taking the responsibilities of marriage
seriously enough, particularly when his wife-to-be came from a higher class.
Marx did not settle down. He received his doctorate from the University of Jena in 1841, but his radical
politics prevented him from procuring a teaching position. He began to work as a journalist, and in 1842, he
became the editor of Rheinische Zeitung, a liberal newspaper in Cologne. Just one year later, the government
ordered the newspapers suppression, effective April 1, 1843. Marx resigned on March 18th. Three months
later, in June, he finally married Jenny von Westphalen, and in October, they moved to Paris.

Paris
Paris was the political heart of Europe in 1843. There, along with Arnold Ruge, Marx founded a political
journal titled Deutsch-Franzsische Jahrbcher (German-French Annals). Only a single issue was published
before philosophical differences between Marx and Ruge resulted in its demise, but in August of 1844, the
journal brought Marx together with a contributor, Friedrich Engels, who would become his collaborator and
lifelong friend. Together, the two began writing a criticism of the philosophy of Bruno Bauer, a Young
Hegelian and former friend of Marxs. The result of Marx and Engelss first collaboration was published in
1845 as The Holy Family.
Later that year, Marx moved to Belgium after being expelled from France while writing for another radical
newspaper, Vorwrts!, which had strong ties to an organization that would later become the Communist
League.

Brussels
In Brussels, Marx was introduced to socialism by Moses Hess, and finally broke off from the philosophy of
the Young Hegelians completely. While there, he wrote The German Ideology, in which he first developed his
theory on historical materialism. Marx couldnt find a willing publisher, however, andThe German Ideology -along with Theses on Feuerbach, which was also written during this time -- were not published until after his
death.

At the beginning of 1846, Marx founded a Communist Correspondence Committee in an attempt to link
socialists from around Europe. Inspired by his ideas, socialists in England held a conference and formed the
Communist League, and in 1847 at a Central Committee meeting in London, the organization asked Marx and
Engels to write Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei (Manifesto of the Communist Party).
The Communist Manifesto, as this work is commonly known, was published in 1848, and shortly after, in
1849, Marx was expelled from Belgium. He went to France, anticipating a socialist revolution, but was
deported from there as well. Prussia refused to renaturalize him, so Marx moved to London. Although Britain
denied him citizenship, he remained in London until his death.

London
In London, Marx helped found the German Workers Educational Society, as well as a new headquarters for
the Communist League. He continued to work as a journalist, including a 10-year stint as a correspondent for
the New York Daily Tribune from 1852 to 1862, but he never earned a living wage and was largely supported
by Engels.
Marx became increasingly focused on capitalism and economic theory, and in 1867, he published the first
volume of Das Kapital. The rest of his life was spent writing and revising manuscripts for additional volumes,
which he did not complete. The remaining two volumes were assembled and published posthumously by
Engels.

Death
Marx died of pleurisy in London on March 14, 1883. While his original grave had only a nondescript stone,
the Communist Party of Great Britain erected a large tombstone, including a bust of Marx, in 1954. The stone
is etched with the last line of The Communist Manifesto (Workers of all lands unite), as well as a quote from
the Theses on Feuerbach.

What does the Illuminati and the Rothschild name have in common.
When researching The Illuminati, one of the names that keeps recurring is that of the Rothschild family.
Who are the Rothschilds?
How did they become so powerful?
What do the Rothschilds have to do with the Illuminati?
Does the Rothschild family control the world through the Illuminati?
There are many people who think that the Illuminati was used by the Rothschild family to realize their ambition
to a global financial domination.
Is this reality, or is it myth?
The answer may never be known for sure, but the facts can be studied and the individual can base their beliefs
upon said facts. This article will provide a basic history of the Rothschild family, how they acquired their wealth
and how their power has been distributed.
Although there is much more information concerning the Rothschilds, this article should present an early
history and a basis to continue researching the truth concerning who actually controls the Governments of the
world.

Some history on the Rothschild family.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1743-1812), was born in Frankfurt-on-the-Main in Germany, he was the son of
Moses Amschel Bauer, who worked as a financier and a goldsmith.
The Rothschild name was originated from the Red Shield that was suspended over the entryway of their shop.
The Red shield was an emblem of radical Jews within Eastern Europe.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, worked at the Hanover Bank as a clerk a few years after his father's death. The
Hanover Bank was owned and controlled by the Oppenheimers.
He achieved the stature of a junior partner in a bank founded by his father in 1750, he left the Hanover Bank to
take possession of the business his father had founded. He was in the business of purchasing and selling rare
coins, he was later very successful in obtaining many other coin dealers by purchasing their business.
In the year of 1769, Mayer Amschel Rothschild had become an agent for the court of Prince William IX of
Hesse-Kassel. Prince William was the grandson of George II, he was also a cousin to George III, who was a
nephew to the King of Denmark, and also a brother in law to the King of Sweden.

In a very short time Mayer Amschel Rothschild had become the intermediary for the largest Frankfurt bankers
with names like the Bethmann Brothers, and Rueppell & Harnier.
Rothschild diversified his business to include antiques, wineries, and became an importer of manufactured
goods from England, it was at this time that the Rothschild family began to accumulate an enormous fortune.

Prince William hands his wealth over to the Rothschild family!

Prince William acquired his father's wealth after his death in 1785, at the time this equated to the greatest
accumulation of wealth in all of Europe.
A quantity of this wealth came from Great Britain. During the Revolutionary war in America Great Britain payed
for around 17000 troops to stop the revolution. This money never found its way to the troops.
The Rothschilds covertly made loans to the government of Denmark in 1804, as a representative of Prince
William.
Prince William was forced to flee to Denmark in 1806, Napoleon's troops were pressing their way through
Germany. Prince William left his wealth in the care of Mayer Rothschild.
It is reported in history that Rothschild buried Williams records secretly, these records kept track of the
complete record of William's wealth. It included a list of his debtors and the interest required of the debtors to
repay. This totaled around 600,000 pounds or $3 million dollars. This was done to stop Napoleon from
commandeering it.
Buderus von Carlhausen (Carl Buderus), was the official representative from the Treasury that was in charge
of William's financial interests. He was given the power of attorney, he then proceeded to make Rothschild his
primary banker. this made Rothschild responsible for the collection of the interest on all Royal loans.

Napoleon Failed!
Napoleon declared that any debts that were being paid to Prince William, were to be forwarded to the French
Treasury, there was even a 25% commission offered on all debts that Napoleon would collect. The Rothschilds
refused to comply.
Emerging conditions was soon to allow the Rothschilds to devise a plan that would assure them the complete
control of European finances, with ambitions to control the world.
It started with gaining benefits from the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, the combat was fought at La-BelleAlliance, which is seven miles to the south of Waterloo, Waterloo is on the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium.
It appeared early on in the battle that Napoleopn's forces seemed to be winning, and the first clendestine
report that reached London correspended that this was indeed fact.

The result of the battle was reversed when reinforcements from Prussia led by Gebhard Blucher, arrived to
secure the victory for Wellington.

Rothschild takes control of the British economy!

It was on a Sunday, the date was June 18,1815 Rothworth who was a messenger of Nathan Rothschild who
was the controller of the London division of the family, was present on the battlefield of Waterloo.
Once Rothworth verified that Napoleon's forces were defeated, travelled by horse to Ostende. He then paid
2,000 Francs to have a sailor transport him to England across the volatile seas.
Once Nathan Rothschild obtained the delivery of the news on the 20th of June, he educated the government
who did not have faith in his information.
So, with everyone believing Wellington to be defeated, Rothschild immediately began to sell all of his stock on
the English Stock Market.
Everyone else followed his lead, and also began selling, causing stocks to plummet to practically nothing.
At the last minute, his agents secretly began buying up the stocks at rock-bottom prices.
On June 21, at 11 PM, Wellington's envoy, Major Henry Percy showed up at the War Office with his report that
Napoleon had been crushed in a bitter eight hour battle, losing a third of his men.
This gave the Rothschild family complete control of the British economy, and forced England to set up a new
Bank of England, which Nathan Rothschildcontrolled.
This was not the only approach used by the Rothschild family to benefit from the Battle of Waterloo.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild had some of Prince William's money sent to his son Nathan in London, where
Nathan had the money invested in eight hundred thousand pounds of gold from the East India Company. He
knew that the gold would be necessary to fund Wellington's peninsula campaign.
He was able to make profit four times from this:
First he made a profit when he sold Wellington's paper (which was purchased at half its value).
Second he made a profit from selling the gold to Wellington.
He made his third profit by buying the gold back from Wellington.
The fourth profit was made when he dispatched the gold to Portugal.

This was the creation of the enormous Rothschild fortune.

Once Napoleon had been defeated, Prince William came back to continue his rule. Buderus was given the title
of Baron, and the Rothschild family had become the wealthiest bankers in all of Europe.

Rothschild family takes control of France!

France, trying to get its nation reestablished in 1817 obtained loans from a French banking entity in Ouvrard,
the country also accepted loans from the Baring Brothers in London.
The Rothschild family realized the opportunity to gain control over the French economy. In October of 1818,
the Rothschilds representatives began the purchase of enormous amounts of French government bonds. This
caused the value of the French bonds to increase in value quickly.
It was on November the fifth that these bonds were disposed of on the open market. This generated a financial
disaster as the value of the bonds immediately diminished. With this accomplished the Rothschilds had
procured control of France.
Mayer Rothschild had instituted Banks in the countries of England, France, and Germany!
His sons were given the title of Barons of the Austrian Empire, they became established to resume and spread
out.

The Rothschild Empire

Karl Mayer Rothschild (1788-1868) controlled the bank in Naples, Italy, the bank closed in 1861.
James Mayer Rothschild (1792-1868) was in charge of the bank in Paris, France the name was Messieurs de
Rothschild Freres until 1967 when the name was changed to La Banque Rothschild.
This started the initial establishment of the House of Rothschild, which had control of over three hundred
million dollars of wealth.
This began the investment by the Rothschilds across Europe in railroads, they also provided financing for both
coal and ironworks. The acquisition of the Suez Canal was financed through the Rothschilds by their delving
into oil exploration in Russia and the Sahara desert.
The family provided financing for the Russian Czars. They gave aid to Cecil Rhodes and his diamond
monopoly. There was also assistance given to France to form their African empire.

The Rothschilds also gave financing to the Hapsburg Monarchs, even the Vatican was saved from bankruptcy
through Rothschild money.
In the United States using their American and European agents, the family also provided funding
for Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Carnegie Steel, and Harriman's Railroad.

How the Empire continues!

It has been said that beginning in 1820 the age of the Rothschild empire began, the conclusion was that there
was "only one power in Europe, and that is Rothschild."
The Rothschild treasure was assessed to be over two billion dollars by 1913.
When Mayer Rothschild perished on September 19, 1812, he made it very clear exactly what detailed
directions were to be preserved by his descendants:

All critical positions were to be filled by family members, he also gave instructions that only male
members of the family were to be immersed in the business part of the family. The elder son of the oldest
son was to be appointed as the leader of the family, the exception being that the rest of the family agreed
otherwise. This was the situation in 1812, when Nathan was selected as the head of the family.

The family was expected to intermarry with their own first and second cousins. This guaranteed that
the wealth could be retained within the family. This also preserved the facade of a unified economic
kingdom. As an example Mayer's son James (Jacob) Mayer was married to the daughter of another son,
Salomon Mayer. Future generations found this rule to be of minor importance as they changed the
families goals and entered marriages to others outside the family to merge the two family fortunes.

There was an order given by Mayer Rothschild that it would never be allowed to have

"any public inventory made by the courts, or otherwise, of my estate ... Also I forbid any legal action
and any publication of the value of the inheritance."

Rothschilds fund both sides of conflicts and wars.

Intelligence agencies from both American and British agencies have documents which provide evidence that
the House of Rothschild, as well as other International financiers have provided funding to both sides of every
war that has been waged, beginning with the American revolution.
The Financial investor Haym Salomon, who gave his support to the patriots throughout the American
Revolution, afterward provided loans to James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe, was a
representative of the Rothschild family.

As described earlier in this article, throughout the Napoleonic Wars, one offshoot of the family provided
financing to Napoleon, while yet another branch of the family funded Great Britain, Germany among other
nations.
The most audacious plot preceded the American Civil War.
The Rothschild family functions from within a region in the heart of London, England, this financial district is
known by the names 'The City,' or the 'Square Mile.'
Every one of the major banks in Britain retain their main offices in "The City". There are also 385 foreign bank
offices located there, 70 of these banks are American.
It is in "The City" that you can find the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange, Lloyd's of London, the
Baltic Exchange (shipping contracts), Fleet Street (home of publishing and newspaper interests), the
London Commodity Exchange (to trade coffee, rubber, sugar and wool), and the London Metal
Exchange.

What is "The City"?

It is in essence the financial center of the world!
Located on the Northern bank of the Thames river, it covers an area of around 677 acres or just about one
square mile. It is easily the most wealthy square mile on the globe. It has been privileged with special Rights
and Freedoms which has given them the opportunity to accomplish an evident level of Independence since
1911.
In the year 1215 King John gave the citizens of "The City" a Charter which has allowed them to elect a mayor
annually, (known as the Lord Mayor). An institution that continues today.
There are many that believe that "The City" is in reality a Sovereign State, similar to the Vatican, and
Washington D.C. Since the Bank of England was established in 1694,"The City" has risen to be the actual
power of Britain's national affairs. The Prime Minister, the Cabinet, and Parliament is only a facade to conceal
the true power of Britain.
It is rumored that when the queen of England visits "The City" she must submit to the authority of the Lord
Mayor. The Lord Mayor has a committee of twelve to fourteen men under him, this committee is known as the
Crown. "The Crown is a private owned corporation and is not subject to either the Queen or Parliament.

The Rothschild Family and the Illuminati!

The rumors of the Rothschild family being part of a larger conspiratorial organization known as the Illuminati,
although it cannot be proven many believe it to be a fact.
The Illuminati did exist, but there is no proof of them still being in existence. There does appear to be a global
entity whose members are the international financiers and bankers of the world. Due to the Rothschild legacy,
it appears that an organization such as this would definitely contain the Rothschilds as members.
The elitists that are rumored to be part of this secret society would absolutely fall under the modus operandi of
the Rothschild empire.
