Often called the "Rothschilds of the East," this powerful family dynasty grew to immense wealth throughout Asia. Indeed, their influence spanned centuries and continents. They traded silk, cotton, spice and silver, but they built their empire on opium ... then moved into banking. Alongside the British Navy and the Rothschild East India Company, they brought opium into China, bringing that nation to its knees via the Opium Wars of the 1800s. This family, who were crypto-Jews, eventually married into the Rothschild family, who were also crypto-Jews, thus consolidating an immense amount of banking power in one family.
