1) The Rothschild Investment Trust, now known as RIT Capital Partners Here which holds controlling investment interest in Royal Dutch Shell Oil.
2) Lazard Brothers & Lehman Brothers
3) Evelyn Rothschild has served in Directorships of the internationally renowned, The Economist, and newspapers owned by Lord Beaverbrook, which include the London Evening Standard & the Daily Express. He has also served as Director of Lord Black’s Daily Telegraph. He is also honorary director of De Beers Consolidated Mines & IBM United Kingdom Holdings Limited
4) NM Rothschild & Sons is the primary investment adviser for China’s Petro China, the largest oil company in Asia
5) Political donations from overseas are illegal in the US, where John McCain's campaign team was under investigation for allegedly accepting a benefit in kind from two mega-rich British citizens, namely Nat Rothschild and his father, Jacob, the Fourth Baron Rothschild.
6) Sir Evelyn de Rothschild, married the New York businesswoman Lynn Forester, they spent the night of their wedding dinner in the White House as guests of Bill Clinton.
7) The Rothschilds have also gave money (they're worth hundreds and hundreds of billions) to Israel in various ways, to the Supreme Court et al.

So as you can see from just a snippet of what they own/do, this family is very rich (good luck to them in that respect since they started out in a ghetto in bavaria) but they are also extremely political and hence meddling.

Then if you look at the The Bilderberg Group's (get together of the world's most powerful/rich people where foreign policies and economic policies of the West are decided) annual attendee lists you'll see that it's not just The Rothschilds atall, it's representatives of the Rothschilds' banking corporation and :

Other banking corporation's heads/CEOs, like Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserves' Chairman, don't forget the Federal reserve is a private bank that creates money and then charges the U.S Govt (taxpayer) for it. Only TWO Presidents in American history have tried to end the Fed's power and print their own money, Abraham Lincoln and John. F. Kennedy…..both were shot by 'random' assassins.

Other prominent attendees are the CEOs of Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft, Nokia and other large companies.

European royalty (Queen Beatrix, Prince Charles, former princes of Greece, the Crown Princes of Spain and Denmark, Norwegian Royalty, Belgian Royalty etc).

Tony Blair and Bill Clinton have both attended too. Right before each was put forward and elected. As did Hillary Clinton and Obama.

This is a private group who meet once a year. Prime Ministers, Royalty, and bankers all meet in secret once a year, and the media doesn't even report it. Why?

I am unfamiliar with any sort of 'Gay Mafia'.

My only knowledge, interest and concern about these societies is the disproportionate amount of powerful people who are in them; making decisions based on money (not people) behind closed doors a la The Bilderberg Group.

Gordon Brown is also a freemason.
Gay Mafia = Fabians = Freemasons = Illuminati = New World Order

The Fabian Society is a close cousin of the Society of Freemasons. So people's claims are not untrue. Yes folks, this is the GAY MAFIA in action.

No-where is safe.

So from FreeMason battering to Anti-Semitism? Good going"

How is that anti-semitic? The freesmasons are not Jewish in any way whatsoever, they're religion-free as far as my understanding is concerned. The Rothschilds are a giant banking family who happen to be Jewish, so what? I don't care 'what' they are I just know they have major, major financial clout in the banking insudtry. I also mentioned Tony Blair and Winston Churchill, George Bush and John Kerry, none of whom are Jewish.

So why have you levelled at me, a sickening accusation of anti-semitism? I've studied Nazism and the history of Germmany for much of my adult life, (aswell as Europe where the Jews have also been shit on by nearly every country, they were blamed for the Plague at one point in England!) I have also studied in detail the Middle East conflict wherein my support for Israel and it's right to exist is clear. Out of 5 people I mentioned who are members of one secret society or another, 1 happens to be Jewish so that makes me an anti-semite? I suppose I'm anti-white too since 4/5 of those I mentioned are white?

You shouldn't throw around HURTFUL names like 'anti-semite' unless you genuinely believe I am and that you have come to that conclusion because of something distinctly anti-semitic I've said. Which I clearly haven't.

My point was that a disturbing number of world leaders, bankers and royalty are mebers of ONE secret society or another, and that this pattern has been formed throughout history; and I don't think it's fair to have powerful people who are at the whims of their rich and powerful chums in their 'boy's clubs'.

I suppose you've heard of Bohemian Grove aswell then? Don't you think it's even just a bit weird what they do there?

He's hardly a militant. He uses direct action. He's not exactly a revolutionary. Plus he's a member of the Green Party. Surely a 'militant' would be more inclined to ally themselves with the likes of the Workers' Revolutionary Party?

Despite a huge debt of gratitude for his early work and admiration for sticking so loyally to a cause, his tactics not really relevant or palatable to forward-thinkers. In short, it's not 1990!

Bush was a part of a-n-o-t-h-e-r secret sociaty so that impacts on the Masons? Wow, what a strange world we live in where the Masons and the sculls and bones are the same thing. Diffrent contanents my dear, diffrent contanents and diffrent membership criteria.

Oh and it raiases a hell of alot of monery for charity.

It's also camp as hell. I've got a Bisexual Catholic friend who's a member.

Grow up."

Don't be such a tool, I know very well the ordinary fellas who are Masons are not involved in this. Even if they do go through weird rituals to get in.

For example, my friend's uncle has a good job and was stopped for drink driving, completely over the limit 2 sumemrs ago, he's a Mason, he was allowed one phonecall and called the Commissioner, also a Mason; and was released without charge. This is what happens within this organisation, they help eachother out, and it gets more sinister and money/power orientated the higher it goes.

Also there are many, many powerful leaders of the world who have been members.

Blair was a 33rd degree freemason. As was Winston Churchill. George W. Bush is a member of the similar secretive skull and bones society in the U.S, as was his opponent, John Kerry . There are tons, and tons, of powerful leaders who were members. Even Prince Phillip at the moment, is the head or patron? If I'm not mistaken.

The vast majority are normal blokes. But the top is littered with law-makers, politicians bankers and royalty. All men. (There IS a women's lodge but it means fuck all).

So excuse me if I think this old boy's network, littered with the rich and powerful-especially bankers like the Rothschilds (at the top), may just have an influence or a hand in some laws etc.

Some work remains left to be done, but don't expect team Cameron to deal with unfinished business.

Dig a little deeper Martin and find out why they have. Its got nothing to do with making a better life for us, it got all to do with European legislation that have to enact and rulings from the EU Court of Human Rights.

On other posts people are banging on about how unjust it is for the US to have its Don't Ask Don't Tell policy, but it was a EU Court ruling that forced the UK to accept gay servicemen and women
