"Rothschilds"
Yes, the international banking
families symbolized by the Rothschilds but including many families with centuries of history in the world's dirtiest business.
The British peerage is full of these families as the great wealth stolen (over centuries) by the manipulation of money paid the price of entry for many of them.
Internet quote, take with a grain of salt:
"The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.
- Attributed to William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694"
We have our own version of the British aristocracy. See:
If you are not a member of one of the world's wealthiest families then you are not a player in the game and your money, no matter how much of it you have, is at risk. Even the wealth of members of "the families" is at risk but as they have spent many generations intermarrying among themselves stealing from one is like stealing from them all and is not a smart thing to do.
Today the families run the world through control of:
1.) International corporations
2.) Global foundations
3.) Central banks (their original source of wealth and still their biggest)
4.) The International Monetary Fund (their planned successor to the US Dollar)
5.) The Bank of International Settlements (the big kahuna that coordinates the families' central banks)
The US is largely controlled by these wealthy families through our corrupt political system where politicians and laws are bought and sold like the commodities that they are. President Trump is an anomaly that they didn't see coming until it was too late and now they are doing everything they can to discredit him, limit his achievements and make sure that a figure like him (an America-First, America-for-Americans)
never makes it into a seat of power again.
They are not omnipotent (we still have our guns) or omniscient (they didn't see Trump coming) but they are working on a plan centuries in the making and they are very good at what they do.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."
- Edward Bernays, "Propaganda"
