Whenever I see “Rothschild” used as a codeword, I suspect that the author is an anti-Semite. I did a little research on Joe Wolverton,II,J.D. He rants incessantly about the Jews, Zionists and the Rothschilds. The Jews are the cause of all the ills of the world. This guy is on a par with David Duke, crazier than Pat Buchanan, without the Teutonic charm.
It is sad to see anti-Semitic tropes beginning to show up on this fine web site.
I have never heard of the author. I have been following this story and posted it at face value.
