The Bavarian electoral prince then decided to have these papers published as Original
Writings of the Order and Sect of the Illuminati.
These writings were then widely
disseminated in order to warn the European monarchs.
Weishaupt was stripped of his
professorship and, together with the Duke of Saxe-Gotha, a further member of the Bavarian
Illuminati, he disappeared. Since they let the belief that the Order of the Illuminati had been
dissolved run its course, they could carry on working in secret and to resurface later under a
new name.
Within a year the “German Union” made itself known and distributed Illuminati
propaganda to the existing reading circles.
Here, the famous battle cry was created:
“Liberte, egalite, fraternite.”
The European monarchs, however, did not realize the danger which led to the French
Revolution – and the resulting terrorist regime – running its course.
“The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its
own name but always covered by another name and another occupation. None is fitter than
the three lower degrees of Freemasonry. Next to this, the form of a learned literary society
is best suited to our purpose. By establishing reading societies and subscription libraries,
and taking these under our direction and supplying them through our labors, we may turn
the public mind which way we will.” – Adam Weishaupt.
CHAPTER 10
THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO
This was the biggest coup of the ROTHSCHILD family which at that time already had built
up a perfect espionage and courier network all across Europe.
On June 20, 1815 one of their couriers, having just come from the battlefield, handed
NATHAN ROTHSCHILD the information of France’s defeat. Nathan hastily returned to the
London stock exchange and there sold all his holdings of the “English Consul” stock, thus
feigning knowledge of England having lost the battle.
The rumor spread so that most other
stockholders were selling their holdings in a panic of losing all. After a few hours the value
of “English Consul” had fallen to five cents on the dollar, so Nathan proceeded to but all the
stock for that ludicrous price. A short while later the official news of England’s victory
reached London.
The value of “English Consul” shot within seconds higher than the original
price and later continued to climb.
Napoleon had had his Waterloo, and Nathan had gained control of the English economy.
Overnight the already gigantic wealth of the Rothschilds had multiplied more than twenty
fold.
The French had, after their defeat, obvious difficulties to regain strength and so, in 1817,
they signed a sizeable credit agreement with the French OUVARD bank and the BARING
BROTHERS from London. But not with the Rothschilds. And when the following year
France needed a further loan, they again bypassed Rothschild.
They of course didn’t like that at all and tried all tricks in and out of the book to get the
government to leave the business to them, but to no avail.
On November 5, 1818, something completely unexpected happened. After the French
government bonds had steadily risen over a year, they suddenly and inexorably started to
fall. At the court of Louis XVIII the atmosphere was very tense.
The only people not
distressed but actually smiling were the Rothschild brothers KALMAN and JAKOB.
For in
October 1818 they had, with the help of agents and of their unlimited resources, bought
immense quantities of French government bonds that had been issued by their rivals
Ouvard and Baring Brothers.
This forced the price up, but on November 5, 1818, they
started to put in all the main exchanges of Europe immense amounts of those bonds on the
market, thereby creating a panic.
