Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward полностью

Peabody/Morgan firm went one step further and, on occasion,became a secret Rothschild agent.

CONCEALED ALLIANCE WITH ROTHSCHILD?

Some writers have suggested that the clandestine relationshipbegan almost from the beginning. Eustace Mullins, for example,writes:

Soon after he arrived in London, George Peabody was surprisedto be summoned to an audience with the gruff Baron Nathan MayerRothschild. Without mincing words, Rothschild revealed to Peabodythat much of the London aristocracy openly disliked Rothschild andrefused his invitations. He proposed that Peabody, a man of modestmeans, be established as a lavish host whose entertainments wouldsoon be the talk of London. Rothschild would, of course, pay all thebills. Peabody accepted the offer and soon became known as the mostpopular host in London. His annual Fourth-of-July dinner, celebratingAmerican Independence, became extremely popular with the Englisharistocracy, many of whom, while drinking Peabody's wine, regaled each other with jokes about Rothschild's crudities and bad manners, I. This apparently has not diminished over the years. The December 23, 1991, issue of Business Week (p. 69) reminds us that the CEO of J.P. Morgan & Co., Dennis Weatherstone who lives in Connecticut, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

without realizing that every drop they drank had been paid for by Rothschild.1

Mullins does not give a reference for the source of this story, andone cannot help being skeptical that such details could be proved.

Nevertheless, a secret arrangement of this kind is not as absurd as itmay sound. There is no question that the Rothschilds were quitecapable of such a clandestine relationship and, in fact, this is exactlythe kind of deception for which they had become famous. Furthermore, there was ample reason for them to do so. A strong anti-Semitic and anti-Rothschild sentiment had grown up in Europe andthe United States, and the family often found it to its advantage towork through agents rather than to deal directly. Derek Wilson tellsus: "The name 'Rothschild' was, thus, beginning to be heard inplaces far removed from sophisticated London and Paris. But theconnection with the great bankers was sometimes tenuous."2
