price would fall nearer the qualifying date and that he could acquire them at a price lower
than his selling price.
From this fund, the Quantum Group evolved, a family of investment funds operating for the
Dutch West Indies. Quantum is one of the most impressive “investment machines” in the
world. In eight of the last twenty-four years it made an “official” profit of over 50%, in two of
those years even over 100%. In the meantime Soros handed business over to a group of
managers and limits himself to designing the “great campaigns”. He put down his principles
in the book The Alchemy of Finance, where he says what “financial speculators this is more
important than real economic facts”.
But this is but the picture the media – and we know who owns them – paint of him.
Who is
he in reality?
William Engdahl knows this to say about him:
“Soros speculates on the world’s financial markets via his secret off-shore company
Quantum Fund NV, a private Investment fund that handles a portfolio of four to seven billion
US$ for several “clients”.
The Quantum Fund is registered in the tax haven of the
Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean.
In order to evade control of his financial activities by
the U.S. administration not a single U.S. citizen sits on the board of Quantum.
Its directors
are a curious mixture of Swiss and Italian financiers.
“Soros has been identified as a front man of the Anglo-French Rothschild banking group.
Understandably neither he nor the Rothschilds want this important fact to be public, so the
tight links to his friends in the London ‘ City’, in the British foreign ministry, in the state of
Israel and to his mighty friends in the American Establishment would stay concealed.”
Among the members of the board of the Quantum Fund is one Richard Katz. He is at the
same time head of the Rothschilds Italia S.p.A. in Milan and is also on the board of the
commercial bank N.M. Rothschild & Sons in London. Another member of the board is Nils
O. Taube. He is a partner in the London investment group St. James’ Place Capital which
counts Lord Rothschild among its main partners. A frequent partner of Soros in several of
his speculations – especially in the driving up of the gold quotation – is Sir James
Goldsmith, a relative of the Rothschild dynasty. On the board of Quantum we also find the
heads of some highly “discreet” Swiss private banks (who help the syndicated of organized
crime – weapons and drugs – to launder their money).
Then there is Edgar D. de Piccioto,
head of the Geneva private bank CBI-TDB Union Bancaire Privee, a main player on the gold
and investment markets, Isidoro Albertini, head of the Milan stockbroking company Albertini
& Co., Beat Notz of the private bank Banque Worms at Geneva, Albertl Foglia, head of the
Banca del Ceresio at Lugano.
In the course of the recent political corruption scandals in
Italy it was found that several Italian politicians kept their money at the Banca del Ceresio.
Apparently Soros had more than just insider knowledge about the weak points in Italian
politics when he attacked the lira in September 1994.
William Engdahl explains: “Soros’ connection to the ultra-secret international finance circles
of the Rothschilds is not just an ordinary or accidental banking connection. The
extraordinary success Soros has on the high-risk financial markets cannot simply be
explained with “gambler’s luck”. Soros has access to information channels, both
government and private.
Ever since the Second World War the Rothschild family tried to disseminate an aura of
insignificance about themselves. But behind this [is] one of the mightiest and most obscure
financial groups of the world. The Rothschilds spend a lot of money to cultivate a picture of
a
wealthy aristocratic family leading a quiet life where one loves French wines and another
engages in charitable trusts.
To experts on the “City” N.M Rothschild & Sons is most influential in the faction of the British
secret service establishment closely linked with the neo-liberal Thatcher wing of the Tory
party. In the 80s N.M Rothschild & Sons made several billion US$ from the privatization of
