an interesting excerpt from the following link describing the history of the rothschild dynasty - this part describing Nathan Rothschild.
"The most incredible example of Nathan’s [Rothschild] devious schemes is a job he would later describe as the best business he had ever done. Through Nathan’s connections in the treasury he learned of the plight of the English army in Spain. The Duke of Wellington (soon to become Nathan’s friend) had British troops in Spain ready to attack France, only they lacked one thing - hard cash (the army’s financiers would not take paper money), but the government was very short on gold at the time. Nathan knew how to profit from this situation. The East India Company was trying to sell gold that, of coarse, the government wanted to buy, but the price was so high that officials decided to wait until it dropped. Nathan stepped in and bought up the gold (using some of the Landgraves money as well as his own). He then proceed to raise the price. When the officials realized the price wouldn’t drop they bought the gold and Nathan made a great profit. But the deal didn’t stop there. Nathan offered to deliver the gold to Wellington (this was a heavy responsibility because of the French blockade)."
Could it be that the Rothschilds sense that soon nobody will be accepting US toilet paper and that they will have to finance their Iraq occupation using cold hard metal... and the Rothschilds know exactly how much unencumbered gold is in Fort Knox ?? And the French might be wanting to sell their gold ... history doesnt repeat itself but it rhymes.
