The House of Rothschild: The Money’s Prophets

In his rich and nuanced portrait of the remarkable, elusive Rothschild family, Oxford scholar and bestselling author Niall Ferguson uncovers the secrets behind the family’s phenomenal economic success.
He reveals for the first time the details of the family’s vast political network, which gave it access to and influence over many of the greatest statesmen of the age.
And he tells a family saga, tracing the importance of unity and the profound role of Judaism in the lives of a dynasty that rose from the confines of the Frankfurt ghetto and later used its influence to assist oppressed Jews throughout Europe.

German forest boy is telling the truth, say police

The story of an English–speaking boy who emerged after five years living in a German forest is "credible" and his accent may prove the key to establishing his true identity, German police said.

The boy, 17, told police that his father had died and
he had buried him in a shallow grave in the woods

“His story is highly unusual and raises some questions,” a police spokesman told The Daily Telegraph. “But we believe it is credible – that is why we are investigating.”
The teenager, who gave his name only as Ray, turned up at Berlin’s City Hall on Sept 5 claiming to have been living in the forest with his father for five years.

ILLUMINAZI

Bush and Company, the Council on Foreign Relations crowd, are trying to establish today what Hitler established yesterday. But Hitler’s been demonized, and Bush is being praised. Some of the polls are saying that 85% of the people want a national ID card for their protection. They want what Hitler delivered. They want to fall in line and get in the goose step. We have a Gestapo in this country. Homeland security? heh Deutschland security? Who financed Hitler in the 1st place? Brown Brothers Harriman out of New York City? Union Bank? Or was it a partner to Brown Brothers Harriman…Senator Prescott Bush?

Now, people will tell you, senators and congressmen will tell you not to worry… this bill just deals with foreigners. It’s an anti abuse of the immigration code bill and it’s calculated to get people like the Palestine Liberation Organization terrorists or the IRA out of our country. Don’t believe it. The language of the bill is deviously clever. The bill was so repulsive on it’s face, the man assigned the task of introducing it, Senator Biden, gagged as he introduced it. And, said in the congressional record that the bill..he was doing it because the president commanded him to do it, but that he was severely troubled by the bill because of the use of secret tribunals and the loss of liberty that it represented.

It’s my humble opinion…if I get assassinated for saying it just remember in America you can’t give your public opinion anymore. In my humble opinion the world trade center was sacrificed. Adolf Hitler was famous for saying that if you’re going to frighten the people, you’ve got to give them a little blood. And, ya gotta’ make it look legitimate and scare them. So I think, it’s just my opinion, but I believe that New York, the incident that happened at the World Trade Center, was a sacrificed plot against the American people. To frighten the American people into accepting George Bush and the entire New World Order Nazi fascist totalitarian dictatorship that these people have been planning for this country for a long time. And, my suggestion, if I were being asked my opinion as to what we might ought to do…my suggestion is this. Don’t ever give up your firearms.

Is Jupiter's Bizarre Moon Our Best Hope for Finding Extraterrestrial Life?

The Science Channel show Brink recently produced a segment based on this DISCOVER story; see the video below.

The crackling radiation would kill you in 10 minutes—that is, if you did not first asphyxiate in the nearly nonexistent atmosphere, die of exposure to the –300 degree Fahrenheit temperature, or plunge into a thousand-foot-deep icy crevice. Jupiter’s moon Europa is a forbidding world, yet NASA intends to devote billions of dollars over the next decade to getting there. At the center of this effort will be the most complicated orbital explorer ever built, each of its components carefully armored against the deadly stream of particles in Jupiter’s massive wake. The orbiter will require six years to reach its destination. Then, when it arrives at Europa, engineers will consider the mission successful if it survives for just three months of exploration before shorting out.

This seemingly quixotic effort was conceived by a small but tenacious group of planetary researchers who, after years of trying, convinced budget-strained NASA officials this past February that the wildly expensive venture is a worthwhile, even crucial, investment. They succeeded because Europa—1,940 miles wide, just slightly smaller than Earth’s moon—is such an enticing paradox. Beneath its tortured, icy, and hostile surface lies a vast buried ocean, a warm global sea with perhaps a larger volume than all the water on Earth. And with liquid water comes one of the most intriguing possibilities in all of science:extraterrestrial life.
