1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 dimension 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000 divide by Chagra 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:19,680 straight 4 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:49,660 Thank you. 5 00:00:49,680 --> 00:01:19,660 Thank you. 6 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:49,660 Thank you. 7 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:58,400 In the summer of 1793, the French Revolution was entering its fourth year, and France 8 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,680 was on the verge of anarchy. 9 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:30,680 10 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,760 And soon France was facing the combined might of Europe's leading powers, determined to 11 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,400 stamp out her dangerous political experiment. 12 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:48,620 Meanwhile, whole regions of France had come out in open revolt, horrified by the new extremism 13 00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:51,480 of the revolution. 14 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:58,380 In August, the Republic suffered a further potentially fatal blow, when the city of Toulon joined 15 00:02:58,380 --> 00:03:01,140 the revolt. 16 00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:07,500 Toulon was France's largest and most important naval base in the south, home to a third of 17 00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:10,800 the entire French navy. 18 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:18,600 Now rebels welcomed their old enemy, the British Royal Navy, into the port, led by Admiral Lord 19 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,780 Hood aboard HMS Victory. 20 00:03:23,780 --> 00:03:26,700 It was an extraordinary coup. 21 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:32,500 Without a shot being fired, the Allies had crippled French naval power in the Mediterranean, and 22 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:38,100 gained a vital toehold on the French coast. 23 00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:46,820 All French forces in the area were immediately diverted to face this new threat, and lay siege to the rebel port. 24 00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:50,080 19,000 troops in all. 25 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,800 But since most French officers had been aristocrats, who were now fleeing the revolution in large 26 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,120 numbers, they were seriously short of professional leadership. 27 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,420 Their commander, General Jean-Francois Carteau, was a loyal Republican, but a court painter by 28 00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:10,800 trade, with no military training. 29 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,880 To make matters worse, one of his few professional officers, his artillery commander Colonel Don Matin, 30 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,060 had been badly wounded on the approach to Toulon. 31 00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:28,620 Antoine Saliceti, a Corsican deputy of the National Convention in Paris, recommended as 32 00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:36,120 his replacement a fellow countryman, a 24-year-old artillery officer who was passing Toulon en route 33 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:45,560 to the front, named Napoleone Buonaparte, or Bonaparte. 34 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,740 Buonaparte was a professional soldier, but he'd seen almost no active service. 35 00:04:50,740 --> 00:04:57,300 Nevertheless, Saliceti was impressed by his manner, and most of all, his politics. 36 00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:02,580 Buonaparte had just written a political pamphlet, a short story about a young artillery officer 37 00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:08,700 who berates his fellow diners for their disloyalty to the Republic. 38 00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:21,300 General Carteau thought it wise to accept Deputy Saliceti's recommendation. 39 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:27,380 Many French citizens of Toulon were desperate to escape aboard the Allied ships, knowing that 40 00:05:27,380 --> 00:05:32,700 the Republicans would inflict terrible reprisals on the city. 41 00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:38,980 British and Spanish ships took as many as they could, about 14,000 in all, but scores were 42 00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:43,520 drowned amid chaotic and desperate scenes. 43 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:50,520 Others were left to face the wrath of the revolution. 44 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,620 Republican troops entered the city the next morning, and executions and firing squads began 45 00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:58,320 almost immediately. 46 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:04,220 For the next two weeks, about 200 were executed every day. 47 00:06:04,220 --> 00:06:10,060 Allied propaganda later blamed Bonaparte for the atrocities, but there's no evidence he was 48 00:06:10,060 --> 00:06:14,620 directly involved. 49 00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:29,300 France's young Republic was now fighting back on all fronts, and with the fall of Toulon, 50 00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:35,620 the Allies had lost a golden opportunity, a chance to stir up further revolt, deal a lasting 51 00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:42,700 blow to French naval power, perhaps even overturn the revolution. 52 00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:49,240 But instead, the French Republic had weathered one of its greatest storms, in no small part 53 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:57,120 thanks to the remarkable judgement, energy and courage of one 24-year-old artillery officer, 54 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:05,180 now promoted Brigadier General in recognition of his extraordinary service at Toulon. 55 00:07:05,180 --> 00:07:12,220 Napoleon Bonaparte had taken his first step on the path to greatness. 56 00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:22,120 And for Europe, 21 years of almost constant war awaited. 57 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Observing the constant violence, bloodshed and disorder in the new French Republic, Napoleon 58 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,460 begins to study the causes of the tragic revolution. 59 00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:35,900 Napoleon concludes that the revolution was caused and carried out by a group known as 60 00:07:35,900 --> 00:07:41,380 the Jacobins, who have operated in secret through Masonic lodges. 61 00:07:41,380 --> 00:07:47,000 To bring back order, Napoleon sends agents to infiltrate and spy on Masonic lodges. 62 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,800 Shortly thereafter, Napoleon recognizes Freemasonry as a threat to all of Europe. 63 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,120 This revelation is what sets off Napoleon's counter-revolutionary conquest. 64 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,200 Recognizing the Masonic infiltration of both royalists and revolutionaries, Napoleon will 65 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,580 now partake in a crusade to conquer and purge Europe of all Freemasonry. 66 00:08:09,580 --> 00:08:13,440 But first, he must take back France and ascend to its throne. 67 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,720 To do this, Napoleon plans his own counter-revolution. 68 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,380 Unlike the bloodshed caused by the Jacobins in their French Revolution just 10 years prior, 69 00:08:24,380 --> 00:08:30,580 Napoleon's counter-revolution would not cost a single drop of blood. 70 00:08:30,580 --> 00:08:37,100 In 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte seized power in France by plotting a coup within another coup. 71 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:42,740 And he did it all without shedding a drop of blood. 72 00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:47,600 One year before the coup, France was at war with Great Britain and Russia, Austria, the 73 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,200 Ottoman Empire and some German and Italian states. 74 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,940 But Napoleon was focused on Great Britain and wanted to cut off the country's routes 75 00:08:54,940 --> 00:09:00,580 to its profitable trading outposts in India. 76 00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:04,020 Even though much of his fleet was captured or destroyed by the British at the Battle of 77 00:09:04,020 --> 00:09:08,960 the Nile, Napoleon still managed to capture and hold Egypt to cut off British trade routes 78 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,000 and even attack targets deeper into the Ottoman Empire. 79 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,400 But back home, the French weren't faring as well, suffering a series of defeats against 80 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,120 their European enemies across the first half of 1799. 81 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,400 The French people became fed up with their current system of government, known as the 82 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:30,140 Directory, the fourth different system of government since the beginning of the French Revolution 83 00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:31,580 10 years earlier. 84 00:09:31,580 --> 00:09:37,300 The Directory system included two legislative bodies, the Council of 500, a chamber of elected 85 00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:44,300 men that proposed laws, and the Council of Ancients, 250 elected men over 40 years old that approved 86 00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:45,300 laws. 87 00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:49,760 The two bodies also worked together to choose the directors themselves, five executives 88 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,420 of equal power responsible for enforcing laws. 89 00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:58,820 But by 1799, the Directory had brought France into war and near economic ruin. 90 00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:03,080 The people largely looked to the country's military for leadership. 91 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,180 This is where Napoleon saw his chance. 92 00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:11,180 When British ships temporarily retreated from France's ports, Napoleon left Egypt and returned 93 00:10:11,180 --> 00:10:13,180 home a hero. 94 00:10:13,180 --> 00:10:17,180 Meanwhile, another prominent Frenchman had been plotting to seize power from the weakened 95 00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:18,180 Directory. 96 00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:24,320 Emmanuel Joseph CIS, better known by his religious title, the Abe CIS, was elected as a director 97 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,180 in May of 1799. 98 00:10:26,180 --> 00:10:30,600 He had long been one of the most influential political figures for his writings that partly 99 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,180 inspired the French Revolution. 100 00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:37,180 But CIS hated the Directory, finding the executive too weak to effectively govern. 101 00:10:37,180 --> 00:10:43,180 So soon after Napoleon's return to Paris, the two men met in secret. 102 00:10:43,180 --> 00:10:48,180 They agreed to a coup that would allow CIS to place himself at the head of a new government, 103 00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:51,180 formed with the help of Napoleon and his loyal army. 104 00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:57,180 There were other conspirators, including Minister of Foreign Affairs Talley Run and Lucien Bonaparte, 105 00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:00,180 president of the Council of 500 and Napoleon's younger brother. 106 00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:06,180 On the morning of 18 Brumaire, or November 9th, the plan was set into motion. 107 00:11:06,180 --> 00:11:11,180 CIS and Lucien Bonaparte informed their respective legislative bodies there was a plot to overthrow 108 00:11:11,180 --> 00:11:12,180 the government. 109 00:11:12,180 --> 00:11:17,180 But they lied and said it was being led by the Jacobins, the party that had carried out 110 00:11:17,180 --> 00:11:20,180 France's reign of terror five years earlier. 111 00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:25,180 The lawmakers were moved for their safety to a palace in Sainte-Cru, a suburb of France. 112 00:11:25,180 --> 00:11:30,180 Conveniently, Napoleon himself was placed in charge of their protection. 113 00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:34,180 Meanwhile, three of the five directors had resigned in coordination with the coup. 114 00:11:34,180 --> 00:11:41,180 CIS, his ally Roger Duco, and Paul Barras, a former lover of Napoleon's wife Josephine. 115 00:11:41,180 --> 00:11:45,180 Talley Run had been given two million francs to bribe Barras to resign. 116 00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:50,180 But he resigned on his own, so Talley Run just pocketed the money for himself. 117 00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:56,180 The next day, the Council of Agents were receptive to Napoleon's argument that the government needed to be reorganized. 118 00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:59,180 But the Council of 500 needed more convincing. 119 00:11:59,180 --> 00:12:03,180 So Napoleon marched into their chamber with grenadiers by his side. 120 00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:07,180 The legislators erupted in anger, some charging at Napoleon with daggers. 121 00:12:07,180 --> 00:12:14,180 Amidst the chaos, Lucien Bonaparte used the attacks on his brother as an excuse to dissolve the Council of 500. 122 00:12:14,180 --> 00:12:17,180 Napoleon's troops dispersed the rest of the council. 123 00:12:17,180 --> 00:12:23,180 The Council of Ancients then dissolved the constitution, replacing the directory with three consuls, 124 00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:27,180 CIS, Roger Duco, and Napoleon. 125 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:32,180 CIS's coup was complete, but Napoleon was not interested in sharing power. 126 00:12:32,180 --> 00:12:36,180 The new government quickly drew up the constitution of the year eight, 127 00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:39,180 and Napoleon made sure he was its chief editor. 128 00:12:39,180 --> 00:12:44,180 With the new constitution, Napoleon wrested control away from CIS, 129 00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:51,180 using his supreme popularity to declare himself first consul, with CIS and Duco secondary in power. 130 00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:57,180 Napoleon had succeeded in his coup within a coup, setting himself up to ultimately become dictator, 131 00:12:57,180 --> 00:13:00,180 and all without a single life lost. 132 00:13:00,180 --> 00:13:21,180 The war of the Third Coalition started at sea, as the British Admiral Nelson and his French counterpart Villeneuve wrestled for control of the Atlantic and fought the Battle of Trafalgar. 133 00:13:21,180 --> 00:13:36,180 However, the land war was more crucial for Napoleon, and the fate of the war was decided during the Battle of the Three Emperors on the snow-perched fields of Austerlitz. 134 00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:43,180 The French victories at Marengo and Hohenlinden in 1800 forced Austria to sue for a separate peace. 135 00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:54,180 The Treaty of Luneville acknowledged the new French satellites in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy, alongside holdings in Tuscany and the left bank of the river Raine. 136 00:13:54,180 --> 00:14:02,180 Meanwhile, Russian Tsar Paul I was getting closer to Napoleon and even considered a campaign against Britain in India. 137 00:14:02,180 --> 00:14:09,180 In 1801, Paul was assassinated by a group of conspirators funded by the British government. 138 00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:23,180 The new Tsar, Alexander I, was more lenient towards Britain, but he didn't re-enter the conflict, and in 1802, France and Britain signed a treaty in Amiens that ended the War of the Second Coalition. 139 00:14:25,180 --> 00:14:32,180 Despite that, the two countries still had ample reasons to fight, and a year later, Britain declared war again. 140 00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:38,180 The initial phase of the conflict that would be known as the War of the Third Coalition took place at sea. 141 00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:50,180 Napoleon needed to gain naval dominance to transport 200,000 troops to the British Isles, so the British tried to get rid of the French fleet and that of the new French allies, the Spanish. 142 00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:56,180 Other European powers were not eager to join the conflict, but two events changed that. 143 00:14:56,180 --> 00:15:10,180 In March of 1804, one of the representatives of the toppled French dynasty of Bourbon, Duke d'Agnon, was seized by the dragoons of Napoleon in the neutral Baden, and then executed for treason. 144 00:15:11,180 --> 00:15:13,180 The news shocked the royal courts of Europe. 145 00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:26,180 In the same year, Napoleon was coronated as the Emperor of the French, and in 1805 as the King of Italy, which meant that he considered himself an equal of the Austrian and Russian emperors. 146 00:15:26,180 --> 00:15:41,180 In December 1804, in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself Emperor of the French. 147 00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:46,180 Europe had never seen such a sudden and dramatic rise to power. 148 00:15:46,180 --> 00:15:55,180 A son of impoverished Corsican nobility to military dictator of France in little more than 10 years. 149 00:15:56,180 --> 00:16:01,180 Revolution and war had cleared Napoleon's path to the throne. 150 00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:05,180 War would dominate his 10-year reign. 151 00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:14,180 A conflict unprecedented in history that would leave millions dead, and a continent in turmoil. 152 00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:36,180 Eight months after Napoleon's coronation, the French Empire and its Spanish ally were at war with Britain, and Napoleon had assembled an army of 180,000 men along the Channel coast. 153 00:16:36,180 --> 00:16:43,180 But as long as the British Royal Navy ruled the seas, invasion was impossible. 154 00:16:44,180 --> 00:16:47,180 But nor could Britain challenge France on land. 155 00:16:48,180 --> 00:16:57,180 And so British Prime Minister William Pitt tried to build a European coalition against Napoleon, using diplomacy and gold. 156 00:16:57,180 --> 00:17:07,180 Britain would prove Napoleon's most steadfast enemy, and its press delighted in relentless mockery of the French Emperor. 157 00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:13,180 Britain and France were old rivals, in Europe and overseas. 158 00:17:13,180 --> 00:17:19,180 But now Pitt feared Napoleon's conquests had made France too powerful. 159 00:17:20,180 --> 00:17:21,180 The French Emperor had to be defeated. 160 00:17:22,180 --> 00:17:27,180 And Europe's balance of power restored, if there was ever to be lasting peace. 161 00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:39,180 Pitt found willing allies in Europe, among monarchs who despised Napoleon as a product of the French Revolution, and a dangerous threat to the existing order. 162 00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:52,180 The following are excerpts read from the book titled The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin from the chapter titled The Rothschild Formula. 163 00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:57,180 The section titled Napoleon Vs. The Bankers states, quote, 164 00:17:57,180 --> 00:18:03,180 If one picture is worth a thousand words, then one example surely must be worth a dozen explanations. 165 00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:11,180 There is no better example than the economic war waged by the financiers of 19th century Europe against Napoleon Bonaparte. 166 00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:18,180 It is an easily forgotten fact of history that Napoleon had restored law and order to a chaotic post-revolutionary France, 167 00:18:19,180 --> 00:18:25,180 and had turned his attention not to war, but to establishing peace and improving economic conditions at home. 168 00:18:25,180 --> 00:18:31,180 He was particularly anxious to get his country and his people out of debt and out of the control of bankers. 169 00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:39,180 One of Napoleon's first blows against the bankers was to establish an independent bank of France with himself as president, 170 00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:44,180 but even this bank was not trusted, and government funds were never placed into it. 171 00:18:45,180 --> 00:18:49,180 It was his refusal to borrow, however, that caused the most concern among the financiers. 172 00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:54,180 Actually, to them, this was a mixture of both bad and good news. 173 00:18:55,180 --> 00:18:59,180 The bad news was that they were denied the benefit of royalty payments on factional money. 174 00:19:00,180 --> 00:19:06,180 The good news was that, without resorting to debt, they were confident Napoleon could not militarily defend himself. 175 00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:14,180 Thus, he easily could be toppled and replaced by Louis XVIII of the old monarchic dynasty who was receptive to banker finance. 176 00:19:14,180 --> 00:19:16,180 Wilson continues, 177 00:19:17,180 --> 00:19:19,180 They had good hope of compassing his downfall. 178 00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:27,180 None believed that he could finance war on a great scale now that the resources of paper money had been denied to him by the destruction of the Assignat. 179 00:19:27,180 --> 00:19:33,180 Where would he obtain the indispensable gold and silver to feed and equip a great army? 180 00:19:34,180 --> 00:19:43,180 Pitt, that is the Prime Minister of England, counted already on a coalition of England, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and numerous small states. 181 00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:47,180 Some 600,000 men would be put into the field. 182 00:19:47,180 --> 00:19:54,180 All the resources of England's wealth, that is to say, of the world's wealth, would be placed at the disposal of this overwhelming force. 183 00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:57,180 Could the Corsican muster 200,000? 184 00:19:58,180 --> 00:19:59,180 Could he arm them? 185 00:19:59,180 --> 00:20:00,180 Could he feed them? 186 00:20:01,180 --> 00:20:05,180 If the lead bullets did not destroy him, the gold bullets would soon make an end. 187 00:20:05,180 --> 00:20:12,180 He would be forced, like his neighbors, to come, hat in hand, for loans, and, like them, to accept the banker's terms. 188 00:20:13,180 --> 00:20:21,180 He could not put his hands on two million pounds, so empty was the treasury, and so depleted the nation's stock of metallic money. 189 00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:25,180 London waited with interest to see how the puzzle would be solved." 190 00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:30,180 Napoleon solved the puzzle quite simply by selling off some real estate. 191 00:20:31,180 --> 00:20:35,180 Those crazy Americans gave him three million pounds for a vast swamp called Louisiana. 192 00:20:36,180 --> 00:20:41,180 The section titled, A Plan to Destroy the United States, says the following. 193 00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:48,180 Napoleon did not want war, but he knew that Europe's financial rulers would not settle for peace, 194 00:20:49,180 --> 00:20:54,180 unless, of course, they were forced into it by the defeat of their puppet regimes, or, unless, somehow, 195 00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:57,180 it would be to their monetary advantage. 196 00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:02,180 It was in pursuit of the latter tactic that he threatened to take direct possession of Holland, 197 00:21:03,180 --> 00:21:05,180 which then was ruled by his brother, King Louis. 198 00:21:06,180 --> 00:21:09,180 Napoleon knew that the Dutch were heavily in debt to the English bankers. 199 00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:13,180 If Holland were to be annexed by France, this debt would never be repaid. 200 00:21:14,180 --> 00:21:20,180 So Napoleon made a proposal to England's bankers that, if they would convince the English government to accept peace with France, 201 00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:22,180 he would agree to leave Holland alone. 202 00:21:22,180 --> 00:21:30,180 The negotiations were handled by the banker Pierre-César Labouchère, who was sent by the Dutch and the English banker Sir Francis Baring, 203 00:21:31,180 --> 00:21:32,180 who was Labouchère's father-in-law. 204 00:21:33,180 --> 00:21:38,180 Although this was an attractive proposal to the bankers, at least on a short-term basis, 205 00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:43,180 it was still against their nature to forego the immense profits of war and mercantilism. 206 00:21:43,180 --> 00:21:53,180 They revised the proposal, therefore, to include a plan whereby both England and France would combine forces to destroy the newly independent United States, 207 00:21:54,180 --> 00:21:58,180 and bring at least half of it, that is the industrial half, back under the domination of England. 208 00:21:58,180 --> 00:22:06,180 The incredible plan, conceived by the French banker Ouvert, called for military invasion and conquest, followed by division of the spoils. 209 00:22:07,180 --> 00:22:12,180 England would receive the Northern States, united with Canada, while the Southern States would fall to France. 210 00:22:13,180 --> 00:22:17,180 Napoleon was to be tempted by offering him the awesome title of King of America. 211 00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:18,180 In his book, Monarchy or Money Power, R. McNair Wilson states, quote, 212 00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:31,180 Le Bouchère wrote to Baring on the 21st of March and enclosed a note for British Foreign Secretary Wellesley, dictated by Ouvert, which ran, quote, 213 00:22:31,180 --> 00:22:36,180 From a conqueror, he, that is Napoleon, is becoming a preserver. 214 00:22:37,180 --> 00:22:42,180 The first result of his marriage with Marie-Louise will be that he will make an offer of peace to England. 215 00:22:43,180 --> 00:22:49,180 It is to this nation's, that is England's, interest to make peace, for it has the command of the sea. 216 00:22:50,180 --> 00:23:00,180 On the contrary, it is really in the interest of France to continue war, which allows her to expand indefinitely and make a fresh fleet, which cannot be done once peace is established. 217 00:23:00,180 --> 00:23:12,180 Why does not the English cabinet make a proposal to France to destroy the United States of America, and by making them again dependent on England, persuade Napoleon to lend his aid to destroy the life work of Louis XVI? 218 00:23:13,180 --> 00:23:23,180 It is to her, that is, England's, interest to conclude peace and to flatter Napoleon's vanity by recognizing his work and his imperial title, end quote. 219 00:23:24,180 --> 00:23:26,180 The cabinet discussed the proposals and approved of them. 220 00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:34,180 Wellesley at once hurried to Baring's house to give him the good news, that Dutch would be able to pay, and would be compelled to pay in gold. 221 00:23:35,180 --> 00:23:43,180 Unhappily, Napoleon found out what was afoot, and took somewhat strong objections to the plan of a joint attack on the United States. 222 00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:52,180 He arrested Ouvert, dismissed and exiled Fouché, and published the whole story, to the grave distress of Wellesley and Baring, end quote. 223 00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:57,180 And so the battle lines were drawn. Napoleon had to be destroyed at all costs. 224 00:23:57,180 --> 00:24:05,180 To make this possible, the Bank of England created vast new amounts of fiat money to lend to the government so it could finance an overpowering army. 225 00:24:05,180 --> 00:24:13,180 A steady stream of gold flowed out of the country to finance the armies of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. 226 00:24:14,180 --> 00:24:25,180 The economy staggered once again under the load of war debt, and the little people paid the bill with hardly a grumble because they hadn't the slightest knowledge it was being charged to their account, end quote. 227 00:24:25,180 --> 00:24:39,180 It was in this manner that the Allied coalition was able to avoid bankruptcy and maintain the finances needed to defeat Napoleon's army and empire that threatened the entire debt-based banking system that sought to conquer the world. 228 00:24:39,180 --> 00:25:02,180 The Napoleonic Wars, which had raged on land and sea for 11 years, seemed finally at an end. 229 00:25:02,180 --> 00:25:14,180 The death toll is unknown, but historians estimate that two to three million lives were lost across Europe. 230 00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:20,180 Most soldiers died not in battle, but from disease. 231 00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:28,180 Many thousands were left maimed and disfigured. 232 00:25:28,180 --> 00:25:35,180 For most of this period, Napoleon was master of Europe, imposing treaties on humbled enemies, 233 00:25:35,180 --> 00:25:42,180 redrawing frontiers, overthrowing old regimes, and making new kings. 234 00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:55,180 He was the last figure in history to combine total political power with frontline military genius, in the mould of Alexander and Caesar. 235 00:25:55,180 --> 00:26:01,180 But it seemed Napoleon's reign was to end in abject military defeat. 236 00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:07,180 However, exile on Elba did not prove to Napoleon's taste. 237 00:26:07,180 --> 00:26:25,180 In less than 10 months, he would return to France to fight one last great campaign to reclaim his throne. 238 00:26:25,180 --> 00:26:34,180 From this point onwards, it became clear to the Masonically controlled Allied coalition that Napoleon Bonaparte was indeed a dangerous enemy and foe. 239 00:26:34,180 --> 00:26:43,180 Napoleon's ambition was to unify Europe as one empire that could stand against Great Britain, achieve lasting peace through economic independence, 240 00:26:43,180 --> 00:26:52,180 and free itself of the revolutionary ideals that ravaged France after the Enlightenment for which he held Anglo-American Freemasonry responsible. 241 00:26:52,180 --> 00:26:58,180 Napoleon also recognized the Judeo-Masonic powers of finance that were pulling the strings, 242 00:26:58,180 --> 00:27:05,180 and thus took a harsh stance against the usurious debt-based banking system that had developed via the Rothschild banking family. 243 00:27:05,180 --> 00:27:07,180 Napoleon stated, 244 00:27:07,180 --> 00:27:19,180 When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they, and not the leaders of the government, control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. 245 00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:21,180 Napoleon also stated, 246 00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:44,180 After escaping his exile in Elba in March of 1815, Napoleon would swiftly raise a new army to once again attempt to liberate his empire from Great Britain and her Masonically controlled allies. 247 00:27:44,180 --> 00:27:51,180 The Allied coalition could not afford to maintain yet another long-term war against Napoleon without risking bankruptcy. 248 00:27:51,180 --> 00:28:07,180 To the great fortune of the Allied coalition, Nathan Rothschild who had started his banking firm in Great Britain in 1798 was in possession of the fortunes of Wilhelm IX of Hesse who had abdicated the throne and escaped to Great Britain during the 1806 campaign by Napoleon. 249 00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:10,180 Napoleon. 250 00:28:10,180 --> 00:28:21,180 Nathaniel Rothschild offered to loan Wilhelm's fortunes at interest with the condition that Europe's Jews be emancipated and treated equally in the right to do business. 251 00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:32,180 Great Britain and the Allied coalition happily agreed to this, and it was this agreement that gave rise to the Rothschild banking firms that would open up just a few years later. 252 00:28:32,180 --> 00:28:44,180 This is how James Rothschild would later become the banker of Leopold I of Belgium while Solomon Rothschild would lend money to the last Holy Roman Emperor, Francis II. 253 00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:54,180 And it was this same Emperor who would later grant all five Rothschild brothers the noble title of Baron, thereby finally elevating the Rothschilds to nobility. 254 00:28:54,180 --> 00:29:08,180 Throughout the next decades, whenever the Rothschilds collapsed a European government through war or revolution, they would immediately provide loans at interest to raise new governments thereby further making profits and gains. 255 00:29:08,180 --> 00:29:15,180 This would be exactly the case with the French Revolution of 1830, as well as the fall of the Holy Roman Empire. 256 00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:29,180 It would not be until the unexpected Second World War that the Rothschild banking family's power and influence would be challenged by an Austrian-German leader of Napoleon's caliber. 257 00:29:29,180 --> 00:29:41,180 April 1814. 258 00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:45,180 For ten years, one man has dominated Europe. 259 00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:49,180 Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French. 260 00:29:49,180 --> 00:29:56,180 Under his military genius, France conquered an empire that spanned the continent. 261 00:29:56,180 --> 00:30:01,180 But finally he has been defeated by a grand coalition of his enemies. 262 00:30:01,180 --> 00:30:07,180 Napoleon is forced to abdicate and exiled to the tiny island of Elba. 263 00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:14,180 While the Bourbon monarchy is restored to France in the corpulent form of Louis XVIII. 264 00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:20,180 But rumours soon reach Napoleon that France would welcome his return. 265 00:30:20,180 --> 00:30:30,180 The French people have little love for the monarchy or its hangers-on, the very people whose excesses led to the French Revolution 25 years before. 266 00:30:30,180 --> 00:30:38,180 He also learns that at the Congress of Vienna, his enemies are locked in bitter dispute over the future of Europe. 267 00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:41,180 Napoleon decides to act. 268 00:30:41,180 --> 00:30:50,180 After just ten months in exile, he returns to France, where the troops sent to arrest him rally to his cause instead. 269 00:30:50,180 --> 00:30:54,180 Most of France soon follow suit. 270 00:30:54,180 --> 00:31:00,180 But in Vienna, the coalition immediately put their differences to one side. 271 00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:06,180 They declare Napoleon an outlaw and mobilise their forces for war. 272 00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:16,180 The Battle of Waterloo was, in the words of the Duke of Wellington, a damned near-run thing. 273 00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:20,180 It was also one of the bloodiest battles of the age. 274 00:31:20,180 --> 00:31:23,180 Around 50,000 men were killed or wounded. 275 00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:26,180 23,000 coalition casualties. 276 00:31:26,180 --> 00:31:28,180 27,000 French. 277 00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:41,180 Due to an appalling shortage of medical care, many of the wounded were left lying on the battlefield for several days. 278 00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:44,180 Napoleon was utterly defeated. 279 00:31:44,180 --> 00:31:50,180 Unable to raise another army, he surrendered to the British. 280 00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:58,180 They transported him to a second exile, on the tiny, remote Atlantic island of St Helena. 281 00:31:58,180 --> 00:32:01,180 This time there was no escape. 282 00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:07,180 He died there, six years later. 283 00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:11,180 Waterloo marked the beginning of a period of relative peace in Europe. 284 00:32:11,180 --> 00:32:16,180 There were no wars between the great powers for 40 years. 285 00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:21,180 And the British would not fight on the continent for another hundred years. 286 00:32:21,180 --> 00:32:24,180 Until the summer of 1914. 287 00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:36,180 Forty years after the battle, a pioneer in the new art of photography captured these remarkable images. 288 00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:43,180 They are veterans of Napoleon's armies, by then all old men in their seventies and eighties. 289 00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:48,180 Among them, Sergeant Tania of the Imperial Guard. 290 00:32:48,180 --> 00:32:52,180 Moray of the 2nd Regiment of Hussars. 291 00:32:52,180 --> 00:32:57,180 And Verline of the 2nd Guard Lancers. 292 00:32:57,180 --> 00:33:06,180 These faces are a tantalising link to the dramatic events that shaped the course of history two centuries ago. 293 00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:17,180 In modern times, it is not unusual for both sides of a war to be loaned money from the same privately owned central bank. 294 00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:20,180 Nothing in this world generates debt like war. 295 00:33:20,180 --> 00:33:23,180 A nation will borrow any amount to win. 296 00:33:23,180 --> 00:33:29,180 So naturally, if the loser is kept going to the last straw in a vain hope of winning, 297 00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:34,180 then more of the winner's resources will be used up and more loans taken out. 298 00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:37,180 Consequently, there will be more money made by the bankers. 299 00:33:37,180 --> 00:33:46,180 And even more amazingly, the loans are usually given by the bankers on the condition that the victor pays the debts left by the loser. 300 00:33:46,180 --> 00:33:50,180 Napoleon Bonaparte always refused to play by these rules. 301 00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:58,180 He envisioned a permanent peace in Europe where these bankers could no longer make profits by inciting unjust wars. 302 00:33:58,180 --> 00:34:08,180 In 1803, instead of borrowing from the bank, Napoleon sold territory west of the Mississippi to the 3rd President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, 303 00:34:08,180 --> 00:34:14,180 for 3 million dollars in gold, a deal known as the Louisiana Purchase. 304 00:34:14,180 --> 00:34:20,180 With 3 million dollars gained, Napoleon quickly gathered together an army and set about conquering much of Europe, 305 00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:26,180 attempting to liberate it from the clutches of private bankers. 306 00:34:26,180 --> 00:34:31,180 Wherever Napoleon went, he found his opposition being financed by the Bank of England. 307 00:34:31,180 --> 00:34:42,180 All the while, the Bank of England was making huge profits as Prussia, Austria and finally Russia all went heavily into debt trying to stop him. 308 00:34:42,180 --> 00:34:46,180 Four years later, with the main French army in Russia, 309 00:34:46,180 --> 00:34:55,180 Nathan Rothschild took charge of a bold plan to smuggle a shipment of gold through France to finance an attack from Spain by the Duke of Wellington. 310 00:34:55,180 --> 00:35:02,180 Wellington's attack from the south and other defeats eventually forced Napoleon into exile. 311 00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:09,180 However, his 1815 return to Paris did not deter him from attempting the same ambitions again. 312 00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:14,180 Napoleon swore to fight the banking cartel through honest financial methods alone. 313 00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:22,180 By March of that year, Napoleon had equipped an army with the help of borrowed money from the Eobard Banking House of Paris. 314 00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:37,180 With 74,000 French troops led by Napoleon sizing up to meet 67,000 British and other European troops 200 miles northeast of Paris on June 18, 1815, it was a difficult one to call. 315 00:35:37,180 --> 00:35:49,180 Back in London, the real potential winner, Nathan Rothschild, was poised to strike in a bold plan to take control of the British stock market, the bond market and possibly even the Bank of England. 316 00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:58,180 Nathan, knowing that information is power, stationed his trusted agent named Rothworth near the battlefield. 317 00:35:58,180 --> 00:36:07,180 As soon as the battle was over, Rothschild quickly returned to London delivering the news to Rothschild 24 hours ahead of Wellington's courier. 318 00:36:07,180 --> 00:36:12,180 A victory by Napoleon would have devastated Britain's financial system. 319 00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:18,180 Nathan stationed himself in his usual place next to an ancient pillar in the stock market. 320 00:36:18,180 --> 00:36:26,180 This powerful man was not without observers as he hung his head and began openly to sell huge numbers of British government bonds. 321 00:36:26,180 --> 00:36:32,180 Reading this to mean that Napoleon must have won, everyone started to sell their British bonds as well. 322 00:36:32,180 --> 00:36:37,180 The bottom fell out of the market until you couldn't hardly give them away. 323 00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:45,180 Meanwhile, Rothschild began to secretly buy up all the hugely devalued bonds at a fraction of what they were worth a few hours before. 324 00:36:45,180 --> 00:36:55,180 In this way, Nathan Rothschild captured more in one afternoon than the combined forces of Napoleon and Wellington had captured in their entire lifetime. 325 00:36:55,180 --> 00:37:01,180 The 19th century became known as the Age of the Rothschilds. 326 00:37:01,180 --> 00:37:06,180 It has been estimated that they controlled half of the world's wealth. 327 00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:13,180 While their wealth continues to increase today, they have managed to blend into the background, giving an impression that their power has waned. 328 00:37:13,180 --> 00:37:28,180 Today, they only apply the Rothschild name to a small fraction of the companies that they actually control. 329 00:37:28,180 --> 00:37:34,180 In the final years of his life, imprisoned on St. Helena, Napoleon would find no comfort in dwelling on the past. 330 00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:42,180 He found strength and peace only through his faith, prayer and hunger to know his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 331 00:37:42,180 --> 00:37:51,180 He kept a journal with frequent entries, and here are some of the things that Napoleon wrote. 332 00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:56,180 I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is not a mere man. 333 00:37:56,180 --> 00:38:03,180 He commands us to believe, and gives us no other reason than his words, I am God. 334 00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:10,180 Philosophers try to solve the mysteries of the universe by their empty dissertations. 335 00:38:10,180 --> 00:38:15,180 They are fools. They are like the infant that cries to the moon. 336 00:38:15,180 --> 00:38:20,180 Christ never hesitates. He speaks with authority. 337 00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:26,180 His ways are a mystery, but they subsist with their own force. 338 00:38:26,180 --> 00:38:33,180 He seeks and absolutely requires the love of men, the most difficult thing in the world to obtain. 339 00:38:33,180 --> 00:38:40,180 Alexander, Caesar, and Hannibal conquered the world, but had no friends. 340 00:38:40,180 --> 00:38:48,180 I myself am perhaps the only one of my day who loves Alexander, Caesar, and Hannibal. 341 00:38:48,180 --> 00:38:54,180 Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires. 342 00:38:54,180 --> 00:38:57,180 But upon what? Upon force. 343 00:38:57,180 --> 00:39:04,180 Jesus founded his empire upon love, and at this very hour there are millions who would die for him. 344 00:39:04,180 --> 00:39:12,180 I myself have inspired multitudes with such affection that they would die for me, but my presence was necessary. 345 00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:16,180 Now that I am in St. Helena, where are my friends? 346 00:39:16,180 --> 00:39:21,180 I am forgotten, soon to return to the earth and to become food for the worms. 347 00:39:21,180 --> 00:39:26,180 What an abyss exists between my misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ, 348 00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:30,180 whose proclaimed love and adoration extends all over the earth. 349 00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:32,180 Is this death? 350 00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:35,180 I tell you that the death of Christ is the death of God. 351 00:39:35,180 --> 00:39:38,180 I tell you, Jesus Christ is God. 352 00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:47,180 Now that I am at St. Helena, now that I am alone chained upon this rock, 353 00:39:47,180 --> 00:39:50,180 who fights and wins empires for me? 354 00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:52,180 Who thinks of me? 355 00:39:52,180 --> 00:39:54,180 Who makes efforts for me in Europe? 356 00:39:54,180 --> 00:39:56,180 Where are my friends? 357 00:39:56,180 --> 00:40:01,180 Yes, two or three whom your fidelity immortalizes. 358 00:40:01,180 --> 00:40:02,180 You share. 359 00:40:02,180 --> 00:40:04,180 You console my exile. 360 00:40:08,180 --> 00:40:11,180 Paganism is the work of man. 361 00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:15,180 One can herewith read only our imbecility. 362 00:40:15,180 --> 00:40:22,180 What do these gods, who are so boastful, know more than any other mortals?
