family has generally cultivated an aura of invisibility. Although the family controls scores of banking, 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.Whatever the extent of their vast wealth, it is reasonable to assume that their percentage of the World's wealth hasincreased dramatically since then, as power begets power and the appetite therefore. But since the turn of the century,the Rothschilds have carefully cultivated the notion that their power has somehow waned, even as their wealth and that oftheir financial allies increases and hence their control of banks, debt-captive corporations, the media, politicians andnations, all through surrogates, agents, nominees and interlocking directorates, obscuring their role.The Irish Potato Famine (1845)David Kynaston: "The City of London, 1815-1890",1994: William Huskisson was the "key figure" in calling for a return toCash payments ie gold in 1818, i.e. paper currency notes are “I owe you” and not cash. Ricardo supported him with anattack on the "greed" of the Bank of England which was primarily owned by the Rothschilds.Nathan Rothschild said to the Commons Secret Committee on the question early in 1819: "In what line of business areyou? - Mostly in the foreign banking line. "Have the goodness to state to the Committee in detail, what you conceivewould be the consequence of an obligation imposed upon the Bank [of England, which he owned] to resume cashpayments at the expiration of a year from the present time? - I do not think it can be done without very great distress tothis country; it would do a great deal of mischief; we may not actually know ourselves what mischief it might cause."Have the goodness to explain the nature of the mischief, and in what way it would be produced? - Money will be so veryscarce, every article in this country will fall to such an enormous extent, that many persons will be ruined."Of course, the Bank of England was running on the fractional reserve system which creates money without any assets, i.e.from nothing, the biggest fraud on Earth from which the Rothschild’s were profiting immensely. Robert Owen supportedhim. However, on 25th May, urged on by Lord Liverpool and Robert Peel, the House of Commons voted unanimously toreturn to gold. In June it was law that by 1823 the country would be back on the gold standard. Also, since Ireland had nogold, it was condemned to the Potato Famine and "North and South" described its consequences to the North-West. Whenpeople speak of "The Irish potato famine", or "an Gorta Mor", (pronounced, 'on gore-ta more') they nearly always meanthe one of the 1840s, even though a similar Great Famine in fact hit in the early eighteenth century. Another source ofinformation is Sir John Clapham's "Bank of England", 1944. The Official History.Captain Wynne, Inspecting Officer, West Clare, 1846: "I ventured through that parish this day, to ascertain the conditionof the inhabitants, and although a man not easily moved, I confess myself unmanned by the extent and intensity ofsuffering I witnessed, more especially among the women and little children, crowds of whom were to be seen scatteredover the turnip fields, like a flock of famished crows, devouring the raw turnips, and mostly half naked, shivering in thesnow and sleet, uttering exclamations of despair, whilst their children were screaming with hunger. I am a match foranything else I may meet with here, but this I cannot stand."Note that at this time, Irish were forbidden to speak their language, to practice their faith, to attend school, to hold apublic office, to hold certain jobs, to own land, or to. In 1846, the British government repealed the "Corn Laws" to open“free trade” in agriculture. This further increased Ireland's potato famine (Timeline of important dates in the history ofAnglo-American oil politics, from A Century of War by F. William Engdahl 1992, Böttiger Verlags-GmbH, pp. 255-264).Also, a fungus that destroyed much of the potato crop hit Ireland making things worse. The 1840s Irish Potato Faminewas the culmination of a social, biological, political and economic catastrophe, caused by both Irish and British factors,which would have had sharp and lasting influence on the World. The Famine was at least fifty years in the making, duethe disastrous balance between British economic policy, destructive farming methods, and the unfortunate appearance of"the Blight" —the potato fungus that almost instantly destroyed the major food source for the majority population. Thenet result was that the Irish population on the island was reduced by almost a third. One Million died in Irelandalone....On September 9, 1845, the Irish newspapers first reported the potato blight. When a fungus Phytophthorainfestans destroyed, the potato crop, a million starved and tow million survivors left the island, many destined forAmerica, Britain, the United States, Canada and Australia (see the Irish Diaspora). By 1850, the Irish made up a quarterof the population in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. "Famine fever"--cholera, dysentery, scurvy,typhus, and infestations of lice--soon spread through the Irish countryside. Racial and Religious persecution resulted in alegal system that took away the rights of Irish Catholics to own property creating a de facto slave class. Excessively largetracts of prime land had been granted by Britain to British lords, effectively forcing the indigenous Irish farmingcommunity to rent back and work the land their forefathers had worked for generations before them. This act ofoppression led to cheap labour and increased revenue for 'absentee' British landlords, some of whom managed theiraffairs very badly, and cared little for the plight of their 'tenants'. The increased pressure on the native Irish meant longhard toil, and bare subsistence living. Traditional methods of supplementing the diet, such as game hunting and fishingoften resulted in imprisonment and deportation to other parts of the British colonies (notably Australia and Tasmania),because the land and the wildlife thereon now belonged to the British landlords. Excessive rents often led to massiveevictions and compounded the problems, with many Irish families left homeless.British residents of the island had no trouble obtaining sufficient food. Thousands of bushels of grain and thousands ofhead of livestock were forcibly exported by Ireland to England during the famine with the help of British troops. TheBritish "charity" workhouses were predatory attempts to obtain slave labor from people too desperate to seek betterThe Hidden History Of Money & New World Order Usury Secrets Revealed at last!
