Of course you are right RationalThough. The story Yesh puts forward about the Rothschild capitalizing off of the early notice of Nepolians failure at Waterloo is a story which I don't know how much truth is inside. It most certainly can be possible as the Rothschilds developed one of, if not, the most complex and efficient postal systems in Europe of that day. Information is power, in most cases, and with their family operations would be seen as a prime decision making asset.
I am very sure that the Rothschilds had partners and I'm positive that these partners, debt/crediters were the Royalty and Industrial base of Europe...and probably later Rockefeller's America.
As for their funding of wars and what not, it is absolutely plausable but one must be aware that it is only the Jewish names that get tossed about: Rothschild, Schiff, Warberg, Oppenheim ect. by the "conspiracy theorist", Nazi or international anti-semite but never does one hear of or considers the mass gentile names like Basil Zaharoff, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, Hapsburg or even the Widsors. Gentile names go back well into European history of International Banking and War making with Jacob Fugger, Medici, Geribaldi, Wellenstein, Francis Drake, El Cid et. etc. How far back does one wish to delve into the Gentile War Making and Global Dominance theories and actions: the respective Pharohs of ancient Egypt, Alcibiades, Agamemnon or Achilles of Ancient Greece, Titus, Hadrian, Ceaser of ancient Rome, Xerses of Persia, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Esarhaddon of Assyria, Hattusili I of the Hittutia, Khan or Mongolia/Asia or even Mohammed and Omar I and II of Islam...directly related to today's Islamic Expansionism funded by both America/West, China, Russia, Arabia and too aided by the "Jews" of Israel.....? Of course I'm just making a point that this theory, and of course its deed of conquest, have been around since the dawn of time totally unrelated and without the Jew.
In truth, Jewish financial and industrial holdings are far behind that of the gentile and quickly falling in comparison to that of the Oil Sheikdoms/Emirates and Saud....especially after Jimmy Carter's Adminstration... Them's the facts. John Loftus outlines it well in one chapter within his book "The Secret War Against the Jews".
