Part I of the thread
How the Rothschild family negatively affected Brazil with unfair loans
THE MONARCHY'S LOANS (1824–1889)
"I dared to tear aside the thick and mysterious veil covering the Treasury, persuaded that public despondency and the extinction of patriotism go hand in hand with public misery; that the ruin of States and the fall of Empires are consequences of financial disorder."
(Report by the Minister of Finance, Manuel Jacinto Nogueira da Gama, Viscount of Baependi, in 1823.)
Following this quote from the great Brazilian historian, lawyer, museologist, politician, and writer Gustavo Adolfo Luís Guilherme Dodt da Cunha Barroso, I will show you the beginnings of Jewish influence on the Brazilian economy.
If you are Brazilian, you are well aware that Brazil gained its independence from Portugal in 1822, and you likely recall our emperor’s famous cry "Independence or Death!" proclaimed on the banks of the Ipiranga River. Yet history reveals that there was much more to it than that: the newly independent Brazil was required to pay a "fine" to the Portuguese Crown.
In the Manifesto of August 6, 1822, Prince Dom Pedro declared, referring to the Lisbon Cortes: 'They laid thieving hands upon the resources allocated to the Bank of Brazil, which was already burdened by an enormous national debt.'
And to secure the necessary funds—both for the fine and for Brazil's development and organization, two loans were required.
The contract for the first loan was signed on August 20, 1824, between Field Marshal Felisberto Caldeira Brant, later the Marquis of Barbacena, Councilor Manuel Rodrigues Gameiro Pessoa, later the Viscount of Itabaiana, and the banking houses of Basset, Farquhar, Crawford & Co., Fletcher, Alexander & Co., and Thomas Wilson & Co.
It was independence that, deprived us of our independence forever.
What were we to do? Poor and without resources, we borrowed money.
"Nathan Mayer Rothschild! This name is inextricably linked to the entire global financial machinery of the early 19th century. He watches the Battle of Waterloo from afar, witnesses Napoleon’s defeat, rushes to the Belgian coast, pays a king's ransom for a fisherman's boat, crosses the English Channel in the midst of a storm, rides horses to exhaustion to reach London, and appears at the Stock Exchange with the calmest of demeanors. He smiles and begins selling his securities.
Everyone assumes he must be privy to terrible news about the war, for nothing had yet leaked regarding the fateful clash between Napoleon and the forces of Wellington and Blücher. Only he knew the outcome—and firsthand.
Panic seizes the holders of stocks, bonds, and securities. A terrifying crash ensues! Nathan’s agents buy everything up for next to nothing.
Later, news of the resounding victory arrives, and all those securities—naturally—skyrocket in value. They are almost entirely in the hands of the House of Rothschild, which reaps a colossal profit and, in the shadow of this immense wealth, begins to dominate Europe.
Napoleon’s military empire—the greatest political power of the era—had fallen, and the Rothschild financial empire—the greatest financial power of the new age—was born."
Authorization for the loan agreement was granted by the Decree of January 5, 1824, while Mariano José Pereira da Fonseca—later the Viscount and Marquis of Maricá—served as Minister of Finance.
Brazilians should keep the memory of that date, January 12, 1825, firmly in mind.
On that day, the bankers set foot upon our very bodies. We became their property, and for a hundred years, we labored for them.
Yet, intoxicated by the hollow rhetoric of liberty, the nation busied itself with the Abdication, the rebellions of the Regency, the Declaration of Majority, the wars of the Second Empire, Abolition, and the revolts of the Republic—interspersed with the fall of cabinets, regime changes, successions of government, and dictatorships—while behind the scenes, only the bankers, hand in glove with the politicians, governed and exploited the country.
Before proceeding, let us present to the reader this Imperial Treasury account, showing the cost of the independence loan in our currency:
Yielded: 12,397:777$777
Paid in interest: 46,263:878$445
Cost to the nation: 60,348:179$393
The interest amounted to nearly four times the principal.
Adding the commissions—which I omitted from the account for the sake of clarity—we arrive at a total cost of 60 thousand. That is what we paid out in cash for 12 thousand—over and above the onerous and perpetual conditions attached—meaning we paid five times the amount.
And let no one object: it was an honest deal. Legal? Perhaps; I do not doubt it. But legitimate? It certainly was not, nor will it ever be.
It is also worth noting that, for sums of this magnitude, an interest rate of 5% is the highest that decency permits charging. Anything beyond that falls into the realm of the most shameful usury.
Thank you to everyone who read to the end. Part 2 of the thread will be published soon.
I apologize if some parts were difficult to understand or featured unusual phrasing. The text was translated from Portuguese to English with the help of Google Translate.

THE MONARCHY'S LOANS (1824–1889)
"I dared to tear aside the thick and mysterious veil covering the Treasury, persuaded that public despondency and the extinction of patriotism go hand in hand with public misery; that the ruin of States and the fall of Empires are consequences of financial disorder."
(Report by the Minister of Finance, Manuel Jacinto Nogueira da Gama, Viscount of Baependi, in 1823.)
"In 1818, the English traveler Henry Koster, after visiting and observing us, wrote that Brazil had changed metropolises, ceasing to 'depend on Portugal to become a colony of Great Britain.' The concept was harsh, but fair.
And he added another, gleaned from what he had heard during his stay: that in our country, only the English could live well.
'The Englishman reigned commercially over Portuguese ineptitude,' states Oliveira Martins. He would reign, therefore—consequently—over what was then the Kingdom's best colony.
This dominance went back a long way, to the Methuen Treaty of 1703, as the Marquis of Pombal himself acknowledged in a letter.
Scarcely a week after finding refuge among us—having fled Junot's grenadiers—the Prince Regent Dom João opened the country's ports to trade with friendly nations; that is, to trade with England, the only nation capable of conducting it.
In 1809, their merchant-rulers demanded more, initiating the negotiations that resulted in the preferential trade treaty signed on February 10, 1810.
Under its terms, English ships could be repaired in Brazilian ports;" British subjects were granted special legal standing and jurisdiction; goods from Albion were favored at customs houses with a 15% *ad valorem* duty—9% lower than that applied to goods from any other nation.
It was a veritable commercial monopoly that caused Portuguese exports to Brazil to drop by more than 50%.
Koster was certainly aware of all this, and his assessment was therefore—as we have noted—harsh but fair.
Although we broke free from Portugal in 1822, we did not shake off the English commercial metropolis until around 1834, as the effects of the preferential treaty persisted until that date.
And we passed under a worse yoke: we were transformed into a colony of the Jewish banking house of Rothschild—a colony of international super-capitalism, which has no homeland and seems to obey secret laws aimed at the annihilation of all peoples.
There is a vast body of documentation proving this. In 1806, for instance, in a document written in his own hand, Sismondi denounced Judaism as the covert organizer of anti-Christian sects, secret societies, the overthrow of thrones, and the accumulation of wealth through usury—all with the aim of world domination.
Herder condemned Christian philanthropy—our perpetual sentimentality in the face of this FORMIDABLE DANGER—due to its corrosive and demoralizing effects.
In 1811, de Maistre foresaw Russia’s demise at their hands. In 1816, he warned the Tsar in a letter. In 1823, Goethe prophesied that their influence would extinguish moral sentiments in Germany.
In 1844, one reads in Disraeli’s novel *Coningsby* that the world is governed by figures very different from those imagined by eyes that do not see behind the scenes.
In 1847, Bismarck, in a speech to the Prussian Landtag, explicitly called for... ...that 'Christians be emancipated from the Jews'.
In 1869, Gougenot-Desmousseaux depicted the Jew acting from the shadows—half a dozen individuals of that race, masters of gold and secret societies, issuing orders to the entire world.
In 1877, Calixto de Wolski, drawing upon Brafman’s irrefutable documents, revealed to the public the secret behind this domination in the Muscovite lands.
And finally, in 1906, the formidable documentation known as *The Protocols of the Elders of Zion*—though decried as a forgery—confirmed, point by point, all the previous accusations."

It was independence that, deprived us of our independence forever.
What were we to do? Poor and without resources, we borrowed money.
The one million pounds of the first loan was granted for a term of 30 years, with 1% amortization, 5% annual interest, and an issue price of 75—meaning we received £750,000 but owed £1,000,000.
And it could get even worse.
The contract with Thomas Wilson and his associates contains clauses worth noting: an option for the second tranche of the loan—£2,000,000; a 4% commission on expenses (Condition 7); a monopoly on the purchase of any materials required by the Imperial Government, awarded to the lenders' firm (Condition 9)—materials the loan contractors would endeavor to procure; 2.5% on the purchase or sale of any goods bound for or originating from Brazil; 1% on all our purchases and sales of silver and gold; 1% on all bills of exchange entering the country or remitted abroad; and 1.5% on all insurance for gold and silver shipments and other transactions.

Out of necessity. Yet the great secret behind the success of these operations—and the eagerness of certain statesmen to carry them out—lay in immediate profit. Blinded by greed, they do not hesitate to sacrifice their people's future for such gain; and it is with this golden bait that Israel faithfully fulfills that scriptural promise:
"You shall devour all the peoples whom the Lord your God delivers to you."
For this reason, usury is forbidden among them in these terms:
"You shall do no harm to the widow or the orphan. If you wrong them, they will cry out to Me, and I will hear their cries."
And in other ways. Yet it is permitted regarding foreigners. One need only read: Deuteronomy 15:1 et seq.; Exodus 23:20–21; and Genesis 22:22–23.

The second loan was arranged with Nathan Mayer Rothschild. The Rothschild loan is just as greedy and sordid as the previous one.
The £2,000,000 loan came with better terms—an issue price of 85—and identical conditions regarding duration, interest, and amortization, yet it was to be disbursed in twelve monthly installments.
Like the Syrian, the Jew cannot do without installments. It is a racial trait. Let us look at some of the contractual terms:
- The third stipulates that interest be calculated from October 1824, even though the loan was launched only in January 1825.
- The fourth mandates a 1.5% commission on the purchase of certificates for amortization, even when those certificates belong to the purchasing banker themselves.
- The fifth allows 4% for brokerage and expenses.
