They were bankers. If most were Jewish, that's interesting, but by itself its no different than pointing out that most wore shoes and wore tophats. If there's a part of Judaism which tells them to steal, corrupt politics, use unfair weights and measurements, etc., then point it out. That would be consistent with the argument and useful to know. I see someone else responded, but I can't see the comment... If this was redundant - oops

when you really do your research this stuff is ancient you can find stories about it from sumerian, babylonian history, from italy, from the balkans, from the iberian peninsula, from greece, from all parts of the middle east and a lot of north africa i don't know about asia so much but for sure the mongols helped keep that from spreading, but a whole other variety of Mandarin style bankster gangster shit also shogun style in japan i believe that it daes back to maybe around 15000 years ago a war that has mostly faded into legend and myth but Plato and his contemporaries knew of teh stories and even in the time of Jesus, and a lot of what Jesus says relates to the history tracing back to it it's not just about banks, it's about power, and it's about government, and there is a whole tapestry of threads tied to agriculture and the cult of kings, the roman hill of Capitoline, and several of the sects of judaism, specifically zionist and ashkinazi, and then to move back away from the middle east, the entire constellation of european royal families are connected to it, as they of course interbred and colluded with the cultists in actual fact, the "war in heaven" described in the old testament, and the "titanomachy" - War of the Titans are both origin stories of this cult of perversion and human sacrifice and usury
