But they secured their progeny’s place in society by purchasing hard assets such as castles, winery, titles of nobility, land, industrial companies, etc… Their standing is now up there with the blue bloods of Europe and America.
You’re missing it — they OWN the blue bloods of Europe and America. The real way to get rich is to:
1) Get governments to give you a license to make money out of nothing
2) Lend out the money you created from nothing (especially to governments) and collect the interest
3) Use the interest (your profit) to buy up real assets.
It is so simple the mind reels. They essentially own the planet.
As for buying hard assets, yes it can be a good strategy however since they control the currency, they can create inflation or deflation at will. They will inflate when it suits them and deflate when it suits them. If your timing matches theirs you can come out fine. If not, well that’s another story. As for determining what their intent at any given time is, remember the story of the Rothschild Waterloo coup. Everyone thought they were selling shares but they were secretly buying them much faster. These same games are going on today.
I’m sure there are other families involved but I don’t think there are very many. My guess is that the total number of people at the very top of the system is less than 1000.
