They say if you want to get to the truth then FOLLOW THE MONEY!!
If my brief research is faulty,please do chime in and tell me about it!!

Done some reading about the early history of modern banking and money.. In summary.
Back in the 1700/1800`s small institutions stored gold and silver in secure facilities for clients for a fee but customers carrying gold around was cumbersome,awkward and dangerous,so these small institutions decided to print paper money which they printed backed up 100% by the value of gold it stored.. Sounds good so far huh!!

Then a secret decision was made to print a shed load more(unsecured by gold reserves) which they lent out to customers charging hefty interest rates just hoping that no one would notice... No one did.
After some years of this new interest collecting scam or "money for nothing" practice,these small institutions grew at an alarming rate and became power houses.

One such institution in England was owned by Nathan Mayer Rothschild.
One of his sons in France,sent message to him from the battle of Waterloo via quick messenger about news of Napolian... How glum Nathan looked in the trading house as every English bond trader watched him sell sell sell..
Obviously Wellington had been defeated... Let the sell off begin.
Once the English Gov. bonds had reached just 5% of their previous value he bought the bloody lot!!

News of Wellingtons famous victory came and now who controls the bank of England!
Acquisitions of banks all around Europe and Asia began and now the Rothschild`s were the wealthiest family on the planet..
Some estimate their total value at 500 Trillion $$`s.
Its also widely believed that they started and still own the U.S FED.
