about the French Revolution and would bring about and would be the cause of all future
revolutions." Monsignor Dillon, writing in 1885, offered a further comment: "However
subversive the doctrines of the Grand Order may have been-and undoubtedly were-it was not
Freemasonry itself but Illuminism which organized the movement of which the French
Revolution was but the first manifestation."
The great French historian, Hippolyte Taine, wrote: "Liberty, equality, fraternity! Whatever the
great words with which the Revolution was ornamented, it was essentially a transference of
property."
The successful conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars found the Rothschilds in unchallenged control
of that property. They held the Congress of Vienna to celebrate their great victories. Von Gentz,
secretary to Prince Metternich, pointed out that there never really was a Congress of Vienna; the
Rothschilds merely dictated the signing of the Final Act, in June of 1815, to the four great powers.
Von Gentz comments, "The real purpose of the Congress was to divide among the conquerors
the spoils taken from the vanquished."
The Congress of Vienna was formally headed by Lord Castlereagh, Foreign Minister of Great
Britain, and his half brother, Lord Charles Stewart, who was serving as Ambassador
Plenipotentiary to Vienna. Lord Aberdeen, Lord Cathcart, and Lady Burghe, a niece of the Duke
of Wellington, also represented Great Britain. Princess Thurn und Taxis arranged nightly
meetings in her drawing room between Talleyrand and the Czar of Russia. During these meetings,
Talleyrand routinely betrayed the French people. Nearly all the royalty of Europe was present
in Vienna for the Congress. They gathered at the Opera House for a special concert by Beethoven,
which he conducted.
Because England was the victorious power, the world supremacy of British naval power was
accepted without question by the members of the Congress. An important piece of business was
the passage of Acts on March 20 and March 29, 1815, which permanently guaranteed Swiss
neutrality. These acts not only ensured that Switzerland would continue to be the nation where
the revolutions of the world could be plotted, but also that the ill- gotten gains of those revolutions
would be guaranteed safe deposit and insurance against being repossessed by the victims of
robberies.
Lord Castlereagh later addressed the House of Commons in this report on the Congress: "The
Congress of Vienna was Hot assembled for the discussion of moral principles, but for great
practical purposes, to establish effectual provisions for the general security." One of these
provisions was Nathan Mayer Rothschild's setting up a Special German Committee It the
Congress to work out a grant of rights to German Jews. This provision was inserted into the final
Act, which was then advertised as establishing "equilibrium in Europe," the famed doctrine later
known as "the balance of power." In fact, British Intelligence, led by Lord Shelburne, had
operated the entire French Revolution from London as a Masonic plot to rid England of its oldest
and most historic rival. After 1815, I France never again mounted any threat to the British
hegemony. It was not a balance of power at all; it was the triumph of the Hegelian system.
The Bourbons had now become a weak and ineffectual ruling family: Lord Castlereagh formally
restored them to the throne in the Treaty of Paris, only because they would be an important
contributing factor to France's future weakness.
Castlereagh, Marquis of Londonderry, was now considered the most powerful single politician
in the world. He was the godson of Lord Camden, who, with Lord Shelburne, had lent large
sums to Britain's Prime Minister, William Pitt; thereafter they were able to control him for their
own devious purposes. Lord Shelburne, William Petty, was denounced by Edmund Burke as "a
Cataline or Borgia in morals," which was undoubtedly true. Henry Kissinger openly modelled
his own diplomatic techniques on those of Lord Castlereagh. In his book "A World Restored,"
