A new investigative report traces how the Rothschild family's historical involvement in metals trading, war profiteering, and financial engineering laid the groundwork for modern corporate fraud, intelligence coverups, and orchestrated media manipulation. The report examines the Rothschild's use of companies like Metal Gesellschaft to trade with both the Nazis and the British during World War II, pioneering tactics like selling oil and gas futures contracts that would never be delivered - a model later replicated in the Enron scandal. The report also links the Rothschild network to the Iran nuclear deal uranium trading and the destruction of evidence in high-profile cases like the Epstein Ponzi schemes and the collapse of WTC Building 7.

Why it matters

This investigation sheds light on how the Rothschild family's historical involvement in global commodities trading, particularly in metals and energy, has evolved into a complex web of financial schemes, political influence, and media manipulation that continues to shape modern events. Understanding these deep historical roots is crucial for contextualizing current debates around wealth inequality, elite power structures, and the role of legacy financial institutions in driving global affairs.

The details

The report traces how the Rothschild family's metals trading empire, centered around a company called Metal Gesellschaft, served as the architectural foundation for numerous modern financial scandals and coverups. Metal Gesellschaft reportedly scouted for strategic war metals worldwide during World War I and later supplied the Nazi war machine, allowing the Rothschild interests to profit off both sides of the conflict through a 'Rothschild teeter-totter' strategy. This model of selling futures contracts that would never be delivered was later replicated in the Enron scandal, with links to Michael Farmer - the father-in-law of commentator Candace Owens. The report also connects the Rothschild network to the Iran nuclear deal uranium trading and the destruction of evidence in high-profile cases like the Epstein Ponzi schemes and the collapse of WTC Building 7, which housed an SEC enforcement division investigating Enron Metals.

  • Metal Gesellschaft scouted for strategic war metals during World War I.
  • Metal Gesellschaft supplied the Nazi war machine during World War II.
  • Michael Farmer, the 'Rothschild Copper King,' sold Metal Gesellschaft to Enron Metals for $448 million right before the September 11 attacks.
  • World Trade Center Building 7 was brought down, destroying the SEC enforcement division's investigation into Enron Metals and the Rothschild trading schemes.
