Today, I want to make a thread based on elite bloodline families that have had representation in the world's central banks. Most people on this board are aware of the fact that central banks are public-private partnership corporations designed to leach real wealth away from the people using the inflationary boom-bust cycle as a hidden tax. However, I'm more interested right now in members of elite bloodline families that have held key positions of leadership within these central banks. As we all know, the owners and shareholders of these central banks are not released to the public. However, by looking into bloodline families that have had their family members in positions of power within these banks, I think we can gain some insights into which families may have ownership stake and major influence in their direction. I've just started compiling this stuff together, so I have a long way to go, but I think it's worth doing this info dump to share with people interested. I'm the Anon who made the Round Table Group Elite bloodline member threads, so these kind of info dump threads are my type of thing. Feel free to share any info you have on the topic of central banking you want to share.
I've made this thread in the past, but I'm making a second edition with new information I've compiled. I will post a link to the previous thread down below.
European Central Bank:
Mario Draghi Italian politician, banker, economist, and academic. From February 13, 2021 to October 22, 2022, he was the prime minister of Italy. He also had a length career as a central banker. He was the governor of the Bank of Italy from 2006 until 2011. He later became the president of the European Central Bank between 2011 and 2019. Additionally, Draghi was the chair of the Financial Stability Board from 2009 to 2011. He also worked for the World Bank in Washington D.C., eventually becoming an executive director.

Mario Draghi married Maria Serenella Cappello in 1973. Maria Serenella Cappello is an Italian noble and a descendant of Bianca Cappello, the Grand Duchess consort of Tuscany from June 12, 1579 to October 20, 1587. Bianca Cappello married Francesco I de' Medici of the elite Medici bloodline, an Italian banking family and political family that first consolidated power in the Republic of Florence under the leadership of Cosimo de' Medici and his grandson Lorenzo de' Medici during the first half of the 15th century. The Medici family along belongs to the Black nobility aristocracy, a group of elite bloodlines holding inordinate power and influence over the Papacy since its original inception. The Medicis have produced four popes of the Catholic Church including Pope Leo X, Pope Clement VII, Pope Pius IV, and Pope Leo XI. They have also produced two queens of France, Catherine de' Medici and Marie de' Medici.
It’s also worth noting that Mario Draghi studied at the Massimiliano Massimo Institute, a Jesuit school in Rome, and is a Roman Catholic.

“The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution announces with great sorrow the death of WHOI Life Trustee Louis W. Cabot on January 29 at his home in the Tenants Harbor village of St. George, Maine. He was 99.
Though born into a storied Boston Brahmin family, Louis W. Cabot measured accomplishments by more than a financial yardstick.
Mr. Cabot was the former president and chairman of Cabot Corp., the specialty chemicals and materials company founded by his grandfather.
During his executive years with his family’s business, Cabot Corp.’s annual sales increased from $27 million to $1.4 billion, according to his family, and as president, he took the business public.
He also formerly was chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and had been on the boards of companies including Arthur D. Little, Wang Laboratories, New England Telephone and Telegraph, Owens-Corning Fiberglas, and Penn Central Railroad.
The year he retired from his family’s business, Mr. Cabot began chairing the Brookings Institution’s board of trustees. In a September 1986 Globe interview, he said that among his goals was increasing donations to the think tank.”

“In 1919 Laurence was appointed to the Board of Directors at Cadbury’s as a Managing Director, and following the death of his father George Cadbury in 1922 held an increasingly influential role in the business. At that time chocolate was mostly hand made. Laurence was largely responsible for the introduction of automatic production lines, cutting production costs whilst drastically increasing sales. As Chairman from 1944 he oversaw a growth of sales from £14m in 1939 to £85m by his retirement in 1959, whilst at the same time developing the firm from 16,000 employees to 27,000 with international interests in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Laurence went on to hold the position of Chairman longer than anyone except his father.
Laurence Cadbury’s business and economic acumen was recognised by Montague Norman, the Governor of the Bank of England, when he was appointed as a Director of the Bank of England in 1936, a position he held until 1961.”

If anybody has any information about central banking that they would like to share in this thread, feel free to do so. I will post a few articles and book excerpts I've found that are related to this topic assuming the thread is still going.

According to the historian Carroll Quigley in his book Tragedy and Hope, there were a number of banks and families that held a priviledged position within the Bank of England. These included the Baring, Rothschilds, Grenfall, Morgan, Hambro, Schröder and Lazard families. We’ve already covered most of these families in this thread, but here’s some further corroborating evidence.
“As part of this system and at the core of English financial life have been seventeen private firms of "merchant bankers" who find money for established and wealthy enterprises on either a long-term (investment) or a short-term ("acceptances") basis. These merchant bankers, with a total of less than a hundred active partners, include the firms of Baring Brothers, N. M. Rothschild, J. Henry Schroder, Morgan Grenfell, Hambros, and Lazard Brothers. These merchant bankers in the period of financial capitalism had a dominant position with the Bank of England and, strangely enough, still have retained some of this, despite the nationalization of the Bank by the Labour government in 1946. As late as 1961 a Baring (Lord Cromer) was named governor of the bank, and his board of directors, called the "Court" of the bank, included representatives of Lazard, of Hambros, and of Morgan Grenfell, as well as of an industrial firm (English Electric) controlled by these.” – Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley Page 499-500
https://archive.org/details/TragedyAndHope_501
>>509363882Quigley also mentions that these central banks aimed to dominate the world through their political and economic systems. He claims this operation is centered out the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland. He mentions that these central banks are privately owned and they have essentially created a new feudalistic economic system.
"In addition to these pragmatic goals, the powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world." - Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope

COVER: "Get Ready for a World Currency". Article: “Get ready for the Pheonix” by the Economist or zerohedge.com on January 9, 1988, Vol. 306, pp 9-10:

GET READY FOR THE PHOENIX
January 9, 1988, Vol. 306, pp 9-10
THIRTY years from now, Americans, Japanese, Europeans, and people in many other rich countries, and some relatively poor ones will probably be paying for their shopping with the same currency. Prices will be quoted not in dollars, yen or D-marks but in, let's say, the phoenix. The phoenix will be favored by companies and shoppers because it will be more convenient than today's national currencies, which by then will seem a quaint cause of much disruption to economic life in the last twentieth century.
At the beginning of 1988 this appears an outlandish prediction. Proposals for eventual monetary union proliferated five and ten years ago, but they hardly envisaged the setbacks of 1987. The governments of the big economies tried to move an inch or two towards a more managed system of exchange rates - a logical preliminary, it might seem, to radical monetary reform. For lack of cooperation in their underlying economic policies they bungled it horribly, and provoked the rise in interest rates that brought on the stock market crash of October. These events have chastened exchange-rate reformers. The market crash taught them that the pretense of policy co-operation can be worse than nothing, and that until real cooperation is feasible (i.e., until governments surrender some economic sovereignty) further attempts to peg currencies will founder.
>>509364242But in spite of all the trouble governments have in reaching and (harder still) sticking to international agreements about macroeconomic policy, the conviction is growing that exchange rates cannot be left to themselves. Remember that the Louvre accord and its predecessor, the Plaza agreement of September 1985, were emergency measures to deal with a crisis of currency instability. Between 1983 and 1985 the dollar rose by 34% against the currencies of America's trading partners; since then it has fallen by 42%. Such changes have skewed the pattern of international comparative advantage more drastically in four years than underlying economic forces might do in a whole generation.
In the past few days the world's main central banks, fearing another dollar collapse, have again jointly intervened in the currency markets (see page 62). Market loving ministers such as Britain's Mr. Nigel Lawson have been converted to the cause of exchange-rate stability. Japanese officials take seriously the idea of EMS-like schemes for the main industrial economies. Regardless of the Louvre's embarrassing failure, the conviction remains that something must be done about exchange rates.
Something will be, almost certainly in the course of 1988. And not long after the next currency agreement is signed it will go the same way as the last one. It will collapse. Governments are far from ready to subordinate their domestic objectives to the goal of international stability. Several more big exchange-rate upsets, a few more stock market crashes and probably a slump or two will be needed before politicians are willing to face squarely up to that choice. Tis points to a muddled sequence of emergency followed by a patch-up followed by emergency, stretching out far beyond 2018 - except for two things. As time passes, the damage caused by currency instability is gradually going to mount; and the very tends that will make it mount are making the utopia of monetary union feasible.
>>509364272The new world economy
The biggest change in the world economy since the early 1970's is that flows of money have replaced trade in goods as the force that drives exchange rates. as a result of the relentless integration of the world's financial markets, differences in national economic policies can disturb interest rates (or expectations of future interest rates) only slightly, yet still call forth huge transfers of financial assets from one country to another. These transfers swamp the flow of trade revenues in their effect on the demand and supply for different currencies, and hence in their effect on exchange rates. As telecommunications technology continues to advance, these transactions will be cheaper and faster still. With uncoordinated economic policies, currencies can get only more volatile.
Alongside that trend is another - of ever-expanding opportunities for international trade. This too is the gift of advancing technology. Falling transport costs will make it easier for countries thousands of miles apart to compete in each others' markets. The law of one price (that a good should cost the same everywhere, once prices are converted into a single currency) will increasingly assert itself. Politicians permitting, national economies will follow their financial markets - becoming ever more open to the outside world. Tis will apply to labor as much as to goods, partly thorough migration but also through technology's ability to separate the worker form the point at which he delivers his labor. Indian computer operators will be processing New Yorkers' paychecks.
>>509364304In all these ways national economic boundaries are slowly dissolving. As the trend continues, the appeal of a currency union across at least the main industrial countries will seem irresistible to everybody except foreign-exchange traders and governments. In the phoenix zone, economic adjustment to shifts in relative prices would happen smoothly and automatically, rather as it does today between different regions within large economies (a brief on pages 74-75 explains how.) The absence of all currency risk would spur trade, investment and employment.
The phoenix zone would impose tight constraints on national governments. There would be no such thing, for instance, as a national monetary policy. The world phoenix supply would be fixed by a new central bank, descended perhaps from the IMF. The world inflation rate - and hence, within narrow margins, each national inflation rate- would be in its charge. Each country could use taxes and public spending to offset temporary falls in demand, but it would have to borrow rather than print money to finance its budget deficit. With no recourse to the inflation tax, governments and their creditors would be forced to judge their borrowing and lending plans more carefully than they do today. This means a big loss of economic sovereignty, but the trends that make the phoenix so appealing are taking that sovereignty away in any case. Even in a world of more-or-less floating exchange rates, individual governments have seen their policy independence checked by an unfriendly outside world.
>>509364346As the next century approaches, the natural forces that are pushing the world towards economic integration will offer governments a broad choice. They can go with the flow, or they can build barricades. Preparing the way for the phoenix will mean fewer pretended agreements on policy and more real ones. It will mean allowing and then actively promoting the private-sector use of an international money alongside existing national monies. That would let people vote with their wallets for the eventual move to full currency union. The phoenix would probably start as a cocktail of national currencies, just as the Special Drawing Right is today. In time, though, its value against national currencies would cease to mater, because people would choose it for its convenience and the stability of its purchasing power.
The alternative - to preserve policymaking autonomy- would involve a new proliferation of truly draconian controls on trade and capital flows. Tis course offers governments a splendid time. They could manage exchange-rate movements, deploy monetary and fiscal policy without inhibition, and tackle the resulting bursts of inflation with prices and incomes polices. It is a growth-crippling prospect. Pencil in the phoenix for around 2018, and welcome it when it comes.
Here's some information about the Better than Cash Alliance which is promoting the implementation of digital currencies.
"NEW YORK, September 19, 2012 — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Citi, Ford Foundation, Omidyar Network, U.N. Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), U. S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and Visa Inc. announced today the launch of the Better Than Cash Alliance. The new initiative will call on governments, the development community and the private sector to adopt the use of electronic payments for programs that support people living in poverty—and provide resources to those who commit to make the transition.
Already, the governments of Peru, Kenya, Colombia, and the Philippines, along with global NGOs Mercy Corps, CARE and Concern Worldwide, have committed to digitize their disbursements and payments to people living in poverty, thereby becoming eligible members for technical and financial support from the Better Than Cash Alliance.
“We know that electronic payments can empower people and help grow emerging economies,” said Christine Roth, Deputy Executive Secretary of the U.N. Capital Development Fund, which serves as the secretariat for the Better Than Cash Alliance. “Yet, while there are many benefits in shifting away from cash, the effort requires leadership, resources and technical expertise. By offering these services to governments, private sector and development community organizations, we believe we can accelerate the shift to electronic payments.”
According to a report commissioned by the Better Than Cash Alliance and released by specialist consultancy Bankable Frontier Associates (BFA), people living in poverty around the world exist in a cash-only economy that can prevent them from breaking the cycle of poverty."

>>509364501"“We’ve all heard the adage ‘cash is king,’ but for too many women and men in the world, living in a cash-reliant world is a tremendous burden,” said David Porteous, the lead researcher behind the BFA study. “Cash-only economies often make it too difficult to find a path out of poverty – it means it is hard to build up savings, cash offers too many opportunities for corruption, and women are often at risk when they have to carry their life savings in cash or gold rather than in an electronic account. For these many varied reasons, it is so important to begin the journey to electronic payments.”
Across the globe, governments, the private sector and the development community make billions of cash payments to people living in poverty, including disbursements of salaries, payments to vendors, pensions, social welfare stipends, cash-for-work programs, and emergency relief payments. According to the new research, which was commissioned by the Better Than Cash Alliance, these programs can play a pivotal role in driving a strategic shift to electronic payments. To access the report, visit betterthancash.org/resources.
For governments, development community organizations and companies, the shift from cash to electronic payments can result in significant cost savings and dramatic increases in transparency, security and economic growth. A recent report by the World Bank found that governments can cut up to 75 percent of costs through electronic payment programs "

Also, this is kind of interesting. Apparently Victor Sassoon insisted that the nearby Bank of China must not be built any higher than his Peace Hotel. It's obviously very difficult to find information out of China, but the Sassoons have historically played a major role in their trading and banking empire. Even today, James Sassoon is the chairman of the China-Britain Business Council. So, it's quite probable that the Sassoon family are shareholders of the People's Bank of China.
"The Bank of China Building is a tower located at No. 23 on the Bund, in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Previously the headquarters of the Bank of China, it now houses the Shanghai Branch of the Bank of China.
It was built on the site of the old German Club (c.1907). It housed the headquarters of the Bank of China. The stunted appearance of the building is attributed to Victor Sassoon's insistence that no other building on the Bund could rise higher than his."

Just a bit more stuff.
The Jekyll Island Club was a private club on Jekyll Island, on Georgia's Atlantic coast. It was founded in 1886 when members of an incorporated hunting and recreational club purchased the island for $125,000 (about $3.1 million in 2017) from John Eugene du Bignon. The original design of the Jekyll Island Clubhouse, with its signature turret, was completed in January 1888. The club thrived through the early 20th century; its members came from many of the world's wealthiest families, most notably the Morgans, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts. The club closed at the end of the 1942 season due to complications from World War II. In 1947, after five years of funding a staff to keep up the lawn and cottages, the island was purchased from the club's remaining members for $675,000 (about 7.4 million in 2017) during condemnation proceedings by the state of Georgia.
The State tried operating the club as a resort, but this was not financially successful and the entire complex was closed by 1971. The complex was designated a historic landmark in 1978.
It was restored and reopened as a luxury resort hotel in 1985. Today, Jekyll Island Club Hotel is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.[3]
Finney had no difficulty selling the shares. Six of the first seven shares went to the men who signed the charter petition: Finney, Dubignon, King, Richard L. Ogden, William B. D'Wolf, and Charles L. Schlatter. In all, Finney was able to find 53 people to join the Club, including such famous names as Henry Hyde, Marshall Field, John Pierpont Morgan, Joseph Pulitzer, and William K. Vanderbilt.[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_Island_Club
>>509364817Several nationally important events took place on Jekyll Island during the Club era, including the first transcontinental telephone call made by Theodore N. Vail, president of AT&T, to Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas A. Watson and President Woodrow Wilson in 1915; and the development of the Aldrich Vreeland Act for the National Monetary Commission in 1908.
Role in the history of the Federal Reserve
Jekyll Island was the location of a meeting in November 1910 in which draft legislation was written to create a central banking system for the United States. Following the Panic of 1907, banking reform became a major issue in the United States. Senator Nelson Aldrich (R-RI), chairman of the National Monetary Commission, went to Europe for almost two years to study that continent's banking systems. Upon his return, he brought together many of the country's leading financiers to Jekyll Island to discuss monetary policy and the banking system, drafting legislation which was introduced in Congress as the "Aldrich Plan". Some ideas from the Aldrich Plan were later incorporated into the Federal Reserve Act.
On the evening of November 22, 1910, Sen. Aldrich and A.P. Andrews (Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury Department), Paul Warburg (a naturalized German representing Kuhn, Loeb & Co.), Frank A. Vanderlip (president of the National City Bank of New York), Henry P. Davison (senior partner of J. P. Morgan Company), Charles D. Norton (president of the Morgan-dominated First National Bank of New York), and Benjamin Strong (representing J. P. Morgan), together representing about one fourth the world's wealth at the time, left Hoboken, New Jersey on a train in complete secrecy, dropping their last names in favor of first names, or code names, so no one would discover who they all were. The excuse for such powerful representatives and wealth was to go on a duck hunting trip on Jekyll Island.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_Island_Club
"Forbes founder B. C. Forbes reported in 1916:
"Picture a party of the nation’s greatest bankers stealing out of New York on a private railroad car under cover of darkness, stealthily riding hundreds of miles South, embarking on a mysterious launch, sneaking onto an island deserted by all but a few servants, living there a full week under such rigid secrecy that the names of not one of them was once mentioned, lest the servants learn the identity and disclose to the world this strangest, most secret expedition in the history of American finance. I am not romancing; I am giving to the world, for the first time, the real story of how the famous Aldrich currency report, the foundation of our new currency system, was written... The utmost secrecy was enjoined upon all. The public must not glean a hint of what was to be done. Senator Aldrich notified each one to go quietly into a private car of which the railroad had received orders to draw up on an unfrequented platform. Off the party set. New York’s ubiquitous reporters had been foiled... Nelson (Aldrich) had confided to Henry, Frank, Paul and Piatt that he was to keep them locked up at Jekyll Island, out of the rest of the world, until they had evolved and compiled a scientific currency system for the United States, the real birth of the present Federal Reserve System, the plan done on Jekyll Island in the conference with Paul, Frank and Henry... Warburg is the link that binds the Aldrich system and the present system together. He more than any one man has made the system possible as a working reality.""

>>509364905The Warburg family is one of the most important banking families in the world. They are a German Jewish family that descended from Venice. They own private banks such as M. M. Warburg & Co. and Warburg Pincus. S. G. Warburg & Co was eventually acquired by UBS but who knows if they have ownership share in that. It was Max Warburg who financed Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi on behalf of Louis Nathaniel de Rothschild. Paul Warburg was not just the architect of the Federal Reserve, its Vice Governor and a member of its board of governors. Paul was also a director of the Council on Foreign Relations. His son James Warburg also was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. I haven't seen any Warburg family members who are currently members of the Round Table Groups so far in my research, but it's possible that they're playing a more subtle role for this generation. You see that happen a lot where elite bloodlines might disappear from the public eye for a generation or two only to reappear later in a very prominent position of authority in politics, central banking or the private sector. Felix Warburg married Frieda Schiff who was the daughter of Jacob H. Schiff. Those who know history well know the role that Jacob H. Schiff played in funding the Bolshevik Revolution.
>>509364968“Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island rose from the position of grocery clerk to become one of the most powerful senators of his era. Elected to the Senate in 1881, he chaired the Committee on Finance from 1898 to 1911, becoming an influential expert on the economy. He sponsored the Aldrich-Vreeland Act which established the National Monetary Commission. His Aldrich Plan, providing for flexible cash reserves, was the forerunner of the Federal Reserve System. Although Aldrich rarely spoke on the Senate floor, preferring the more casual atmosphere of the committee room, by the turn of the 20th century he became the leading figure in the Republican caucus and was one of the Senate Four, a powerful group of Republican senators who dominated the institution for a decade. President Theodore Roosevelt referred to him as the “King Pin” of the Republican Party. Aldrich “did not bother with oratorical display,” wrote one historian, “but relied upon his charm, his commanding appearance, his superior mind, his ability to speak forthrightly, and his exceptional memory” to influence Senate action. Patriarch to a political family, Aldrich’s grandson, Nelson Rockefeller, became vice president and his great-grandson, Jay Rockefeller, became a U.S. senator.”

“In November 1910, six men – Nelson Aldrich, A. Piatt Andrew, Henry Davison, Arthur Shelton, Frank Vanderlip and Paul Warburg – met at the Jekyll Island Club, off the coast of Georgia, to write a plan to reform the nation’s banking system. The meeting and its purpose were closely guarded secrets, and participants did not admit that the meeting occurred until the 1930s. But the plan written on Jekyll Island laid a foundation for what would eventually be the Federal Reserve System.”

“Born in 1874 in Providence, Rhode Island, Abby Aldrich grew up in a well-to-do milieu, but one quite different from that of her future husband. Her father, Nelson Aldrich, was a senior Republican senator and a leading power broker in Congress. In contrast to the reclusive Rockefellers, the Aldriches were gregarious and well traveled. From an early age, Abby was exposed to a stimulating life rich in politics, art, literature, and society. She emerged from it a self-confident woman, outgoing and curious, with a strong personality.
It was these qualities that drew the attention of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. when he met Abby in Providence in 1894 when he was a sophomore at Brown University. After a courtship that lasted five years, the couple was finally married at a lavish wedding ceremony on Warwick Neck, Rhode Island on October 9, 1901.”

>>509364994>>509365038Nelson Aldrich, Senator of Rhodes Island, was one of a handful of men who was present at the secret meeting in 1910 at Jekyll Island where the conception of the Federal Reserve system was eventually conceived. Originally, it was to be known as the Aldrich Plan, but that was later scraped since everybody knew that Aldrich was in the pockets of the Rockefellers and other major business families. It was then renamed as the Federal Reserve System.
However, it's interesting because Nelson Aldrich's daughter, Abby Aldrich, later married John Davison Rockefeller Jr. So, there's another interesting connection between Senator Aldrich and the Rockefeller bloodline family.
Frank A. Vanderlip also attended the Jekyll Island. He was the president of National City Bank of New York which John D. Rockefeller was heavily invested in.
Here's evidence of Leon Trotsky and the Bolsheviks being funded and supplied by Imperial Bank of Germany through the Warburg banking dynasty.

Circular November 2, 1914, from the Imperial Bank to the representatives of the Nya Banken and the agents of the Diskonto Gesellschaft and of the Deutsche Bank.
[Page 374]
At the present time there have been concluded conversations between the authorized agents of the Imperial Bank and the Russian revolutionaries, Messrs. Zenzinov and Lunaeharski. Both the mentioned persons addressed themselves to several financial men who, for their part, addressed themselves to our representatives. We are ready to support the agitation and propaganda projected by them in Russia on the absolute condition that the agitation and propaganda (carried on?) by the above-mentioned Messrs. Z. and L. will touch the active armies at the front. In case the agents of the Imperial Bank should address themselves to your banks we beg you to open them the necessary credit which will be covered completely as soon as you make demand on Berlin.

It's also worth noting that Nathan Mayer Rothschilds profited from the outlawing of slavery in the United Kingdom through loans to the British government to compensate former slave traders for their financial loss from the abolition of their slaves. This was not paid back by British taxpayers until 2015... A lot of people on this board know about this, but it's always worth mentioning again.
"o finance the payments, the British government took on a £15 million loan, finalised on 3 August 1835, with banker Nathan Mayer Rothschild and his brother-in-law Moses Montefiore; £5 million was paid out directly in government stock, worth £1.5 billion in present day.[27] The money was not paid back by the British taxpayers until 2015,[28] when the British Government decided to modernise the gilt portfolio by redeeming all remaining undated gilts. The long gap between this money being borrowed and its repayment was due to the type of financial instrument that was used, rather than the amount of money borrowed.[29]"

>>509365365"Money borrowed to fund the Slavery Abolition Act (1835) was therefore fully repaid in

borrowed."

"Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836), a supporter of the abolition of the slave trade, played a role in a transaction which was significant in advancing the abolitionist cause. In August 1833, the British government led by the reformist Whig Earl Grey, passed the Slave Emancipation Act, giving all slaves in the British empire their freedom, albeit after a set period of years. Under the terms of the Act, slave owners received compensation for the 'loss of their slaves' in the form of a government grant; in contrast, enslaved people received no compensation. Compensation was abhorrent to abolitionists, such as Nathan, but under the leadership of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton MP, enough came to accept it as a necessary evil in order to achieve the greater goal of the abolition of slavery."

>>509365365>>509365419"The 1833 Act did not come into force until 1 August 1834. Nathan Rothschild was the contractor (with other members of a consortium) for the ‘West India loan’ of 1835 (also referred to in some sources as the ‘West Indies loan’) which raised the greater part of the £20 million required by the British government to make the compensation payments. On 29 July 1835 Viscount Melbourne and Thomas Spring Rice (Prime Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer respectively) explained the terms of the contract to around thirty interested parties. The loan would not be raised through a bond issued by a banking house but through the sale of British government consols and long annuities to the highest bidder. Concerns were expressed about the wisdom of removing so much money from circulation, and the ability of the Bank of England to supply sufficient bullion to meet subscribers’ obligations. Perhaps as a result of these concerns, on Monday 3 August 1835 only one tender was presented, all others having been withdrawn: the remaining tender was from “Mr Rothschild, Mr Montefiore, Mr Ricardo, Sir J. Reid”. It fell below the Treasury’s reserve offer, but after some short consultation, the group agreed to accept the government’s terms.
Regretfully, as is common for many of the early loan issues of the London house, there appears to be very little trace of the West India loan in the holdings of the Archive. As the loan did not take the form of a bond issued by the London bank, there is no documentation in the loans series. Nathan Mayer Rothschild died in 1836."

Another quote regarding the Bank for International Settlements by Carrol Quigley.
"The B.I.S. is generally regarded as the apex of the structure of financial capitalism whose remote origins go back to the creation of the Bank of England in 1694 and the Bank of France in 1803. As a matter of fact its establishment in 1929 was rather an indication that the centralized world financial system of 1914 was in decline. It was set up rather to remedy the decline of London as the world's financial center by providing a mechanism by which a world with three chief financial centers in London, New York, and Paris could still operate as one. The B.I.S. was a vain effort to cope with the problems arising from the growth of a number of centers. It was intended to be the world cartel of ever-growing national financial powers by assembling the nominal heads of these national financial centers." - Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley

>>509362925 (OP)Not many non western banks. Probably because they are not autonomous so who runs it doesnt matter
>>509366437There are some more in my previous thread. Pridiyathorn Devakula of the Devakula family was the Governor of the Bank of Thailand. Umayya Toukan of the Toukan (Tuqan) bloodline was a governor of the Central Bank of Jordan. Diego Borja Cornej, president of the Central Bank of Ecuador, is possibly descended from the papal Borja family (considering other documented members of of that family which were in high positions of the Ecuadorian government). I can't confirm that one, though.
Solomon David Sassoon was a director of the Bank of Bombay which, although being a private bank, was performing functions of a central bank. The Bank of Bombay was amalgamated into the Imperial Bank of India which was then later amalgamated by the State Bank of India which has had 60% of it taken over by the Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank of India, of course, being their modern central bank. However, since the Sassoons were shareholders in the Bank of Bombay and that bank was subsumed by the creation of a new central banks, it is very likely that the Sassoons are shareholders within the Reserve Bank of India.
The Oman Royal family, the House of Busaid or the Al Said dynasty, has had several of their members in positions of power within the Central Bank of Oman. These include Tariq bin Taimur, Sayyid Taimur bin Asa’ad bin Tariq Al Said and Sultan bin Salim Al-Habsi.
I'm sure there are many more, but I'm obviously less knowledgeable about elite families from Asia and the Middle East than I am of the ones in the west.
>>509362925 (OP)>based on elite bloodline familiesWhat makes a bloodline elite?
>>509367174>elite families from Asia and the Middle EastThey're hardly elite and nothing more than subsidiaries of the ones based out of the City of London.
>>509367350Well, you could answer that question in a number of ways, I suppose. But from my perspective, if a family has gained and maintained significant power, prestige, and wealth for more than four generations, then you could classify them as an "elite bloodline". Of course, some of these families are much more powerful than others. But this at least demonstrates how these powerful families have held prominent leadership positions within various central banks.
Bumping a rare effort thread
>>509367871Thanks, Anon. I wish I had more to share, but that's pretty much all I got for this thread. There's a lot more in the previous one, though.
>>509362925 (OP)epic effort post, bumping
Again, if any of you guys have any interesting videos, articles, or information about central banking that you want to share, feel free to do so. I always want to learn more. Or if you think there's anything else important you want to mention here, you can do that, too.
Unfortunately, unlike the Roundtable Group activity, information on central banking subject is much better hidden from public access. So, it seems like we can only find these little slivers of information to try to put together to get a complete picture.
It's been a while since I've watched this one, but I remember this documentary being pretty good. It isn't specifically about the Bank of England, but rather the private banking industry in London if I remember correctly.

Is this knowledge actionable even if I lack an army of blood thirsty knobs angry at society for the lack of creature comforts and steady decline of quality living?
>>509368861i think i saw the japanese central bank documentary from this same maker. It was good but cant even tell if it was accurate. It basically said japan was doing great because of central bank but also doomed because of it. Like i dont know what to do with that information lol

Both the chairman of the Federal Reseve, Jerome H. Powell, and the former vice chair Lael Brainard are members of the Council on Foreign Relations. Lisa D. Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, is already a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Both former Federal Reserve chairs Janet Yellen and Alan Greenspan are also members. The Federal Reserve leadership is well represented on the Council both directly and indirectly.
Also, Alan Greenspan's wife, Andrea Mitchell, is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. This thread isn't really meant to focus on the Roundtable Groups, but I just thought it's an interesting connection to demonstrate. Mitchell, of course, is an American television journalist, anchor and commentator for NBC News. So, you can see the connection between the banking and media establishments through their marriage and through the Council on Foreign Relations.

François Villeroy de Galhau is the current Governor of the Bank of France. He descends from the Villeroy de Galhau bloodline, co-owner of the ceramic manufacturer Villeroy & Boch. The company was originally established on April 14, 1836 when Nicolas Villeroy and his competitor Jean-François Boch merged their porcelain businesses together.
The Banque de France's governance:
https://www.banque-france.fr/en/banque-de-france/strong-transparent-governance/governance-advisory-committees
“The Banque de France’s system of governance reflects its independence from the political authorities. It is managed by a Governor - currently François Villeroy de Galhau since 1 November 2015 – who presides over the Bank’s General Council, the body responsible for deliberating on all matters relating to non-Eurosystem activities. The Governor is also a member of the ECB Governing Council, the body responsible for determining the Eurosystem’s monetary policy. Responsibility for the operational management of the Banque de France falls to the Executive Committee.”

>>509375571Nice chart. I'll be making another Roundtable Group thread soon, probably. Just gotta make sure I have enough material.
>>509375536I think Quigley's quote regarding which banking families had a "dominant position with the Bank of England" (Baring, Rothschild, Grenfell, Hambro, Lazard, etc) is probably as close to an answer to that question as we're going to get. They seem to keep that information very well concealed. I can't imagine any method of finding that information out beyond that. But maybe some other Anon might know more.

>>509372590He glosses over an important detail regarding the US auctioning off their government bonds to the BoJ in mass amounts post-bubble. He also doesn't mention that their largest financial group the MUFJ is managed and audited by Deloitte. He also leaves out that the Master Trust Bank of Japan was originally established in 1987 as a subsidiary of The Sumitomo Trust and Banking Co. (now part of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings). They provide trust and custody services for institutional investors in Japan. This wasn't solely a post-WW2 connection the Russo-Japanese War was financed by Jacob Schiff who also financed the Bolsheviks a few years later. Their government went bankrupt as soon as 1871 and the zaibatsu finance conglomerates were reliant on private and foreign investment. They basically sold off almost every key business to foreign capital, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. issued most of their government bonds on foreign markets. The US was openly sponsoring Japan's colonization of Korea through the Taft-Harriman and turned their railway company (Mantetsu) into a miniature version of the East India Company. The Japan connection to global finance runs deep.
>>509377246>The Japan connection to global finance runs deep.Sounds like it, Anon. Fascinating post. Some of this is a bit over my head, but you've given me a lot to look into. Thanks. I've tried to research into the Zaibatsu banking and industrial families, but I was never able to find very much.
>>509377671Read the prince of yen. Central Banks BOJ created a boom and bust cycle to gain control over Ministry of Fiance from Japan.
In 2005, Mervyn King, then governor of the Bank of England, admitted that cheap foreign labor helps keep wages down. Obviously, this is just common sense to anybody remotely intelligent, but it’s interesting to hear a central banker making such an revealing admission; even if that admission was followed by a “and that’s a good thing” type justification. King himself was also a member of the Rockefeller created Group of Thirty.
Migrants hold down inflation says governor by Larry Elliott and Charlotte Moore on June 14, 2005:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2005/jun/14/politics.money
“Mervyn King, governor of the Bank of England, weighed into the debate about immigration last night when he strongly hinted that the influx of workers from eastern Europe over the past year had helped to limit increases in interest rates.
Speaking in Yorkshire, Mr King said that the 120,000 eastern Europeans who had arrived in Britain since 10 more countries joined the European Union in May 2004 had kept the lid on wages and prevented inflation from rising.
The governor said the appearance of new workers had helped to ease skill shortages in the economy at a time when inflation was just under Gordon Brown's 2% target.
"Without this influx to fill the skill gaps in a tight labour market it is likely that earnings would have risen at a faster rate, putting upward pressure on the costs of employers and, ultimately, inflation," he said.”
All right, I'm gonna go to bed. Hope it was a decent thread. It's been fun, guys.
