“Does anyone seriously suppose that a great war could be undertaken by any European state, or a great state loan subscribed, if the House of Rothschild and its connections set their face against it? Every great political act, involving a new flow of capital, or a large fluctuation in the values of existing investments, must receive the sanction and the practical aid of this little group of financial kings.”

While Israel tries to sabre-rattle its way to a war with Syria and Iran it is no coincidence that the latter country is one of only three left in the world whose central bank is not under Rothschild control. Their banking methods have defined Western economics by rigging the market whether its gold or stocks or derivatives; ensuring that the political system works entirely for the banks and their corporations; making sure that huge loans are accepted can never be repaid so that countries are racked with debt and social conflict so that astronomical interest leads directly into the coffers of banking families – just like the Rothschilds.
When you have majority control of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the Federal Reserve, The Bank of England, The European Central Bank and the bank of International Settlements and own most of the wealth in the world, you can essentially do whatever you wish. [1]
Money as a giver of freedom or slavery has been largely in the hands of the Rothschilds since the 19th Century when merchants and industrialists first began to flex their considerable muscle. Once again, Jewish people have had to cope with having primary psychopaths nested in their religion and culture and who have turned it inside out and upside down with ease, redefining the very perception of money and economy in the process. No one will argue that the consequences of cartel-capitalism has proven to be a disaster for the globe but a coup d’état for a select few. What is more, like so many Khazar Zionists and international bankers, they are using the Jewish people as convenient front for their activities.* [2]
The Rothschild family’s influence cannot be understated. Various members of the dynasty have often been cited as the core movers behind most large-scale banking shifts and international policy change. Yet, there has been little recorded in print about the family (although that is beginning to change). Much of what we know is hearsay and witness testimony which is enough to ratchet up rumours and conspiratorial legend that stands the test of time. This would not be reason enough to pay any heed to such allegations if were not for the fact that the history of the family seems to find itself at the heart of all financial manipulations for the last 200 years.
Rothschild Biographer Niall Ferguson reminds us that during the early days of Rothschilds’ ascendance to power, they rapidly gained: “a mythic, talismanic status in the eyes of other Jews; not only the Jews of the Kings, but also the ‘Kings of the Jews’—at once exalted by their wealth and yet mindful of their own lowly origin.” [3] And as Michael Collins Piper notes: “… the Rothschilds did maintain a Talmudic and Judeo-centric attitude, despite their common intercourse with the Christian crowned heads and noble families of Europe. And this is noteworthy, inasmuch as other Jewish banking families in England did intermarry on a wide-ranging basis with scores of members of England’s aristocratic families.” [4]
What is more, the family was unquestionably guided by the principles of the Babylonian Talmud, a collection of mystical Jewish instructions rooted in the authority of Levite priests and magickal workings of the Kabbalah. And there is also the little matter of where they stand within the Zionist cabal and in turn, the Global Occult Establishment. What is certain is that Zionism was and is a driving force even a fanatical one. When the maintenance of that belief has an endless supply of money then you can be sure that the repercussions are immense. (More on this and its relevance to Rothschilds’ rule in the Occult Zionism series.)
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, son of Amschel Bauer, was born in 1743 in the Jewish quarter of Frankfurt, Germany in which his ancestors lived. Although educated for a rabbi, he started as a money-lender and dealer in old coins before being offered a job based in Hanover by the Oppenhiemer family in 1755, shortly after the death of his father. Rothschild’s financial acumen and ambitious drive presented a fortuitous meeting with a General von Estorff for whom he ran various errands leading to rapid advancement and a junior partnership in his finances. Von Estorff would be the link to the German royal family and the palace of Prince William. When you have a gift for finance it’s not long before you come to the attention of those with wealth and inherited status. Loaning money to the aristocracy is far more profitable than the common man. Moreover, it allowed him to manage bigger loans secured by taxpayers.
By 1769 with Mayer a regular fixture at the Royal Court and business dealings with the Prince at an all-time high, he was permitted to hang a sign on the front of his business premises declaring that he is: “M. A. Rothschild, by appointment court factor to his serene highness, Prince William of Hanau.” [5] His father had adopted their name from the sign of the house (“Zum Rothen Schilde” or “Red shield”) derived from the Red Flag an emblem of the Khazar or Ashkenazi Jews in Eastern Europe whose guiding light was that of Revolution. Understanding its deeper significance he changed his name to Rothschild and the royal sign and The Red Shield were then positioned side by side over his door. With his business protected the Rothschild enterprise took on new ambitions where financial known-how met ideology and perhaps the occult.
Mayer Amschel Bauer was going places.
The Illuminati and/or Rosicrucian lore is firmly rooted in fact as we saw in the previous posts. However, it was unlikely to have appeared out of nowhere, or just a product of Professor Adam Weishaupt’s megalomaniacal mind. Indeed, the first mention of the order was a 15th century Jewish-German occult sect which was alleged to have practiced a form of Satanism. Perhaps the principles of Illuminism were unearthed and given a dusting down in 18th Century Germany with M.A. Rothschild as the source, due in part to his enormous capital. He was either wholly responsible for, or more likely had a leading role in the creation of the Illuminati, which proceeded to insinuate itself in freemasonry, taking advantage of its inherent weaknesses. There simply isn’t any way possible that Rothschild and Weishaupt were unconnected in their respective meteoric ascents to power. Each were anti-Christian and each were ideologically and symbiotically bound to each other.
In the end, the Order of the Illuminati was as much a financial banking operation as it was an ideology and nothing could have been more effective in establishing a global banking house than a secret society firmly ensconced in Establishment Europe of the time. So it was perhaps, that Professor Adam Weishaupt was entrusted with the task of extending a money empire and anti-Christian, political ideology across the West and beyond. It was obvious to Mayer Rothschild that in order to realise unfettered control over the world’s money supplies which were hoarded under the monarchs of Europe, something had to be done to the Church, namely its destruction.
“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.”
– Baron M.A. Rothschild
A Jewish-German who had converted to Catholicism early in his life, Weishaupt proved a highly capable Rothschild agent. A former Jesuit-educated Catholic priest turned atheist, he had come to loathe the Jesuit Order and everything they stood for. A passionate admirer of the revolutionary ideas of Voltaire (who was likely an Illuminist himself) Weishaupt sought to put into practice what would soon become reality in Revolutionary France, best summed up by Voltaire in a letter to King Frederick II which read:
“Lastly, when the whole body of the Church should be sufficiently weakened and infidelity strong enough, the final blow (is) to be dealt by the sword of open, relentless persecution. A reign of terror (is) to be spread over the whole earth, and… continue while any Christian should be found obstinate enough to adhere to Christianity.” [6]
After the marriage to his wife Gutle Schnaper the first of Rothschild’s son Amschel was born followed by Salomon a year later in 1774 and Nathan in 1777. The merchant banking firm of the House of Rothschild was founded in 1776 just as Adam Weishaupt officially completed his organisation of the Illuminati on May 1 of that year. The infiltration of freemasonry rapidly took place alongside the seduction of the gentry and intellectuals of the day. Lodges of the Grand Orient were established much to the chagrin of conventional freemasonry. The money which allowed Weishaupt to do this may have come from the rising wealth of the House of Rothschild.
Just about every method of deception and control from Illuminati agents was formulated and carried out in order to seduce or coerce those in positions of power. Sexpionage and extortion seeped into the Establishment with aim of establishing a comprehensive network of financial bondage. Once caught in the trap individuals would become agents to further the cause. As we know, In 1785, the Illuminati’s true intent was discovered and the Bavarian government outlawed the sect, closing all the Bavarian lodges of the Grand Orient. Such was the shock and alarm both from freemasonry and government circles in Germany it prompted an extensive publication of the sect’s actions and future objectives entitled: The Original Writings of The Order and Sect of The Illuminati” which was sent to all the heads of Church and State. The details of the document were drawn from the chance finding of portion of Weishaupt’s papers on the body of an Illuminist agent killed from a lightning strike whilst on horseback. It was at this time, perhaps as a precautionary measure, the Rothschilds decided to move to Frankfurt, where two years previously the headquarters of Illuminised freemasonry were located.
With the birth of Karl Rothschild in 1788 and James a few years later, the sparks of the French Revolution which had been struck by Illuminati members began to catch fire in 1789 thanks in part to the lack of action from the Bavarian government’s warning and with only a handful of dissenters across Europe. This revolution was a bankers’ dream. It established a new constitution and passed laws that forbade the Roman Church from levying tithes (taxes) and also removed its exemption from taxation.
Amidst the backdrop of Illuminism and Napoleon’s rise to power, the Rothschild dynasty expanded its financial banking hubs across Europe. With his father’s capital, Nathan Mayer Rothschild set up a banking house in London and was so successful that by 1810 he was the most important banker in England, having accrued vast sums of money from royalty and the rich alike, in particular Prince William IX of Hesse-Hanau, one of Napoleon’s sworn enemies who had decided to leave $3,000,000 of his money with him for safe-keeping. Nathan invested the money in gold from the East India Company knowing that it would be needed for Wellington’s peninsula campaign. The Rothschilds supplied gold to both sides of the war (Nathan in England; Jacob in France) in order to receive the maximum return from a risk-free debt.
With the Illuminist network already in place it was less problematic to install an advanced courier postal service running along the most economic and efficient lines both geographically and logistically which would guarantee immediate and direct information straight to the Rothschilds, thus providing a form of financial prescience which was far in advance of any system of reconnaissance and communications of the day. Indeed, British royalty and the European elite relied on this service which meant that politically sensitive, confidential information could by-pass the mainstream media of the day. It also meant however, that it would be easy for Rothschild agents and therefore, perhaps the Illuminism of the day to have complete access to correspondence between British Royalty and the European elite. This inevitably led to the buying and selling of financial intelligence on companies and warring factions during the Napoleonic Wars and all future conflicts. As Gutle Schnaper, Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s wife said just before her death “If my sons did not want wars, there would be none,” perfectly summing up the past and present role of global banking today. [7]
So, we see here how essential this network was to be in the stimulation of geopolitical crises and the propagation of debt to exacerbate the need for international conflict and war – War after all, means money.
“The House of Rothschild has arisen from the quarrels between states, has become great and mighty from wars [and] the misfortune of states and peoples has been its fortune.”
– Freidrich von Scherb, History of the House of Rothschild
Since the discovery of the Bavarian Illuminati the spread of occult power within Europe had been redirected through Carbonarism (“charcoal burners”) who were a disparate collection of freemasonic secret societies in Italy who believed in revolution and the destruction of the Church. Their influence over revolutionary groups in Europe was substantial and may even have extended to Russia. Author Fritz Springmeier’s research from his book Illuminati Bloodlines (1992) indicates that Amschel’s son Karl Rothschild was tasked with the responsibility for infusing Italian Carbonari lodges with Illuminsm. This gave rise to further systemised attacks against the Catholic Church with the notable document of the Alta Vendita which describes a Masonic plan to infiltrate the Catholic Church and spread Illuminist-led liberalism within it. It was eventually published by Jacques Crétineau-Joly in his book L’Église romaine en face de la Révolution in (1859) with official support by Catholic Popes of the time. By the mid-19th Century Rothschild links to freemasonry were assured with James Meyer Rothschild a 33 degree Scottish Rite Mason and his brother Nathan a member of the Lodge of Emulation. Solomon Meir Rothschild became a freemason on June 14, 1809.
The five sons were made barons of the Austrian Empire in 1822 and who went on to expand banking operations into England, Italy, France, Austria and Prussia making it the most successful and powerful merchant bank of the time. The London branch was headed by son Lionel and then succeeded by Nathan M. Rothschild who gave Rhodes his important task of opening up South Africa for both the British and Rothschild’s resource monopoly. The other sons had branches in Paris, (James) Berlin (Amschel) Vienna (Soloman) Naples (Charles). Nathan M. Rothschild was elected head of the family following his father, Mayer Amschel Rothschild’s death.
Nathan M. Rothschild also made sure to start selling a surfeit of British bonds (or consuls) on the Stock Exchange so that other traders thought that the British had lost the war against Napoleon thus pushing them to panic sell. When the consuls lost their value Nathan told his employees to purchase all the consuls they could so that when it was known that the British had won the war the consuls would shoot up in value thus allowing the House of Rothschild to make a killing, effectively controlling the British economy. When N.M. Rothschild did became governor he also owned and operated England’s Royal Mint Refinery which meant he became the primary gold agent to the Bank of England with all the power that such a position entails. So, it is that France and Britain remain a particular stronghold of Rothschild finance.
Over in the United States the banking charter for House of Rothschild had run out, with Congress voting against its renewal. Nathan, having spent time and energy threatening Congress, sided with the British and declared: “Teach those impudent Americans a lesson. Bring them back to colonial status.” The setback didn’t last long. The 1812 declaration of war by the Americans was the result of a several issues which had come to the boil. With the Rothschilds already backing the British and the French in the Napoleonic Wars the American war of independence was deemed more important. With a costly war against the British Empire the United States would be in debt, thus more amenable to renew the charter for Rothschilds’ bank. After the war, the Rothschilds managed to get back into the American money supply once again when Congress passed a bill for another banking charter, this time for twenty years.
Meyer Amschel Rothschild died on September 19, 1812. His will spelled out specific guidelines that were to be maintained by his descendants:
1) All important posts were to be held by only family members, and only male members were to be involved on the business end. The oldest son of the oldest son was to be the head of the family, unless otherwise agreed upon by the rest of the family, as was the case in 1812, when Nathan was appointed as the patriarch.
2) The family was to intermarry with their own first and second cousins, so their fortune could be kept in the family, and to maintain the appearance of a united financial empire. For example, his son James (Jacob) Mayer married the daughter of another son, Salomon Mayer. This rule became less important in later generations as they refocused family goals and married into other fortunes.
3) Rothschild ordered that there was never to be “any public inventory made by the courts, or otherwise, of my estate…Also I forbid any legal action and any publication of the value of the inheritance.” [8]
From 1814-1820 business with the Vatican proceeded successfully until the Rothschilds were firmly ensconced in Vatican City and their banking fraternities. They were less successful with the Tsar Alexander I of Russia, who, unlike Europe had not come under the Illuminist rule and the Rothschilds’ international banking network which was part of the designs of a Revolutionary World government. Indeed, the Russian aristocracy had actively resisted all of their financial terrorism and by refusing to do business with them it had cost the Rothschilds dear since they very much wanted to get their hands on Russian oil fields. As a consequence, the Tsar and his family of the House of Romanov would perish under those same plans channelled through a Wall St.-Zionist-led Bolshevik Revolution straight out of the text book of Illuminist philosophy.
It is hard to do justice to just how powerful the House of Rothschild and their financial empire had become by the mid-19th Century. Jacob Rothschild in Paris, died in 1868 with a fortune worth, from today’s evaluation the equivalent to $300,000,000 with a yearly income of around $40,000,000. By 1913, that fortune was worth over $2,000,000,000. [9] This immense fortune accrued by family members was predicated on a religious and financial code of intermarriage within the Rothschild family, a practice long undertaken by aristocrats and royalty. For example, Jacob Rothschild married the daughter of his brother, Baron Salomon Rothschild of Vienna. As the Rothschild’s thought of themselves as Jewish royalty it was a natural move, although this was more to do with the prevention, as they saw it, of a dilution of their capital and thus their international leverage.[10]
Remaining true to the ethos of segregation from the world of gentiles, marriage was restricted to other Jewish members of banking families such as the the Cohens, Goldsmids, Samuels, the Brofmans of America and the Montefiores of England and the Sassoons in Asia. Indeed, the Rothschilds hounded out one of their own family for transgressing this unwritten law. In 1839, Nathan’s second daughter Hannah Mayer had the temerity to marry a gentile and convert to Christianity which was considered quite against the Jewish tribal code as well as the Rothschild plans to keep it in the family as financial strategy. James Rothschild in Paris wrote a letter to his mother summarising what should be done next, in lieu of the fact that she had:
“… robbed the whole family of its pride and caused us such harm that it can longer be addressed. You say, my dear Nat, that she has found everything except religion. However, I believe that [religion] means everything. Our good fortune and blessings depend on it. We shall therefore, wipe her from our memory and never again during my lifetime will I, or any other member of our family see or receive her. We now want to wish her all the best and banish her from our memory as if she never existed.” [11]
The rules of the Talmudic religion lay behind the Rothschilds operations, where the idea of Jewish Royalty was never far from their minds. After all, the European social elite were there to be exploited not to be joined. If not marriage of sons, daughters, cousins and siblings, then strong business ties cemented with freemasonic handshakes and proxy organisations such as the Round Table were the preferred route. The Sassoons for example, allowed them to extend their reach fully into all areas of Asia; via the Montefiores across Australiasia; the Oppenheimers through their control of the diamond trade in South Africa and their Round Table agent Cecil Rhodes, who was able to monopolise the gold and silver mining for the family.
The House of Rothschild was just beginning to get into its stride.
* Some academics suggest that The Rothschilds lineage is from the Khazars, an Asiatic, Mongolian race of people whose origins can be traced back to a country called Khazaria, now known as Georgia. The Khazars converted to the Jewish faith in 740 A.D. which means that claims that Israel’s unquestioning birth right is even harder to swallow when its heritage is sourced from about 80 percent of Jewish people known as Ashkenazi Jews who appear to be from a very mixed genetic pool indeed. Even so, it depends how far back one wants to go. In the end, it is the psychopath that counts not the ethnicity that is prey to its infection.

[…] “… Eastern European Jews descended from the Khazars, a hotchpotch of Turkic clans that settled the Caucasus in the early centuries AD and, influenced by Jews from Palestine, converted to Judaism in the 8th century. The Judeo-Khazars built a flourishing empire, drawing in Jews from Mesopotamia and imperial Byzantium.
They became so successful that they sent offshoots into Hungary and Romania, planting the seeds of a great diaspora.
But Khazaria collapsed in the 13th century when it was attacked by the Mongols and became weakened by outbreaks of the Black Death. The Judeo-Khazars fled westwards, settling in the rising Polish Kingdom and in Hungary, where their skills in finance, economics and politics were in demand, and eventually spread to central and western Europe, according to the “Khazarian Hypothesis.”
“We conclude that the genome of European Jews is a tapestry of ancient populations including Judaised Khazars, Greco-Roman Jews, Mesopotamian Jews and Judeans,” says Elhaik.
“Their population structure was formed in the Caucasus and the banks of the Volga, with roots stretching to Canaan and the banks of the Jordan.”
Many things are unknown about the Khazars, whose tribal confederation gathered Slavs, Scythians, Hunnic-Bulgars, Iranians, Alans and Turks. But, argues Elhaik, the tale sketched in the genes is backed by archaeological findings, by Jewish literature that describes the Khazars’ conversion to Judaism, and by language, too.” | See also more up-to-date research from: ‘The Khazars: An Overview, Israelite Tribes in Exile’ by Yair Davidiy – http://www.britam.org/khazars.html

INFRAKSHUN 
I’ve done some research on the Khazar hypothesis, and I haven’t reached any conclusive evidence that points to it’s authenticity. Eran Elhiak, an Israeli researcher who has received a great deal of rebuke for his championing of the theory. Normally this is might point to potential theory legitimacy (otherwise, why bother attempting to silence it?). Unfortunately, Elhiak doesn’t appear to be very consistent on his thesis, changing his conclusion from a Turkish caucasian origin, later to a Slavic/Scythian origin with loose connections which are justified with questionable language etymologies. I’m not well versed in linguistics or genetics, so I try not to draw strong conclusions either way, though the flip flopping on the subject does seem strange.
While historical references to the Khazars is difficult to come by, I have noticed a number of historical connections which produce an interesting possible scenario. While many are familiar with the official narrative where the Khazar khaganates converted to Judaism by mere chance, I would contend that there are a number of historical factors which point towards a much earlier association with extended Jewish ethno/religious/political groups.
First, I should say that the accepted history of Jews as they’re known today does not seem to match the historical record. There are ample historical records in the fertile triangle/Nile valley region as early as 4500BC based on accounts of depictions of astronomical accounts occuring in the region, and there does not seem to be any mention of a Hebrew nation until the 925BC. There is no record of a king Solomon of Israel, though a possible explanation might simply be a conflation with Assyrian king Shalmene-sar, where sar denotes the title king. In Semetic, this would be represented as king SLMN. The kingdom of Israel was a vassal kingdom of the Assyrian empire, and unlike Biblical accounts, was not united with Judea. They often waged war upon each other, and Judea was a minor territory. Only much later did a number of Israelites flee to Judea, and this may have been a time period where the identity was adopted and narrative changed to suit political motives.
Prior to this era, the early Hebrews seem to be an offshoot of the Chaldeans, who arrived in the region around the 10th century BC. Of note, in the Torah it is said that Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees. Ur is on the Eastern edge of the fertile triangle, suggesting a possible origin from the East. Indeed, many historians of antiquity including Flavius Josephus, Voltaire, and others, suggest that Abraham was originally of the Brahma caste whose legacy still exists in India today.
The early history of the Vedas describes the Asuras and Devas existing in relative harmony, and only later braking off into antagonistic groups. This legacy is carried on into the Ahuras of the Zoroastrian tradition. It is interesting to note that the Zoroastrian priests practiced a form of monotheism. There are a number of similarities that seem too uncanny to brush away, such as the Hebrew Abraham and his sister/consort Sarai, a nearly identical reflection of the Vedas Brahma and his sister/consort Saraisvati. Additionally, the paternally descended Levite priestly class is overwhelmingly of the Y haplogroup R1a, which is the major paternal haplogroup of the Brahma class in India. I have previously shared some further points of interest that attempt to draw a connection: http://www.hyksos.org/index.php?title=Who_Was_Abraham
Getting back to the early Hebrews, they had spread across the entire triangle region in the 8th century BC:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Deportation_of_Jews_by_Assyrians.svg
I believe it is this period when Jews, or crypto Jews consolidated trade routes in central Asia that eventually became known as the Silk trade. I’ve documented in previous comments the installation of a Jewish lineage within the Achaemenid empire, the establishment of the satrapy of Sogdia, the Sogdian use of a semetic alphabet, and the uncanny resemblance of the Sogdian merchants to modern Russian Jews. The Sogdians practiced Zoroastrianism, and later the Radhanite Jews of the Silk trade routes practiced Judaism, suggesting that religion may have been a secondary consideration depending on the political climate of the region. They also established not only a monopolgy on the Silk trade, but created a wide empire spanning all of central Asia through the Gokturk empire, China, and territories further west at times.
“Their [the Sogdians] commercial interests were protected by the resurgent military power of the Göktürks, whose empire has been described as “the joint enterprise of the Ashina clan and the Soghdians”
There are numerous drawings in the central Asian Turfan basin and in Chinese murals which illustrate a substantial Sogdian influence in international trade, religious organizations, military leadership, and political circles throughout the region.
The Sogdians had established rule over China by the 6th century AD through the Wu Clan: “Yuwen Hu (513–572), with Chinese title Sabao (a distorted form of Sogdian sartpaw “caravan leader”, also applicable to Sogdian religious leaders).” The period of Wu family rule is known as the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Of special note is that Emporer Wu also wrote the earliest known reference on Chinese Chess, which they called “Constellation game” or “Astronomical game.” Given Chess’s historical signficance among esoteric societies, it’s possible that emporer Wu was possibly affiliated with an ancient esoteric order.
Emporer Wu: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/Zhou_Wu_Tang.jpg
His wife was Empress Ashina, who was the daughter of Muqan Kaghan of the Gokturk empire. Muqan’s reign marked the pinnacle of Sogdian cultural influence in the Göktürk Empire. Sogdian culture was transmitted by merchants from Turpan who worked as ambassadors and advisers. The Sogdian language and script were used to govern the empire.
It appears that in the ensuing centuries, there was a power struggle between the Sogdians, wishing to exert control over China, and the native Han Chinese, particularly during the Sui Dynasty. During the late 8th century AD, the Sogdians attempted to once again extend their power across the region, ultimately financing both the An Lushan rebellion and the revolution of the Abbasid caliphate against the Umayyad caliphate. The Abbasid rebellion was successful, though the An Lushan rebellion failed, but not before causing the deaths of potentially millions of people.
“In the aftermath of the An Lushan Rebellion, many Sogdians were slain or changed their names to escape their Sogdian heritage, meaning little is known about the Sogdian presence in North China since that time”
As the Sogdian merchants gained increasing political backlash through their attempts to consolidate power over the Chinese, many of them migrated West following their failed attempt at rebellion in the East.
“The great majority of the Sogdian people assimilated with other local groups such as the Bactrians, Chorasmians, and in particular with Persians and came to speak Persian, and in 819 AD founded the Samanid Empire in the region”
“Muslim geographers of the 10th century draw upon Sogdian records dating to 750–840. After the end of the Uighur Empire, Sogdian trade underwent a crisis. What followed from Muslim Central Asia was the Samanids, who resumed trade on the northwestern road leading to the Khazars and the Urals and the northeastern one toward the nearby Turkic tribes”
I would contend that in the previous centuries, the Sogdians/Ashina/Jews had established a trading empire stretching from China to the Levant. Through their control of the Gokturk empire, the Northern Caucuses region would have been part of their territory. This is precisely the region where the Khazar state was formed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazars#Rise_of_the_Khazar_state
“After the collapse of the Göktürk empire under pressure from the resurgent Uyghurs, branches of the Ashina clan moved westward to Europe, where they became the kaghans of the Khazars.”
So I think this establishes a very probable origin of the Khazars as crypto Jews who controlled a mercantile empire spanning most of the known world for millenia before settling further West. Y haplogroup DNA studies on Ashkenazi Jews, at least from my perspective, suggest to me that they descend from a diverse range of paternal lineages, and while a significant portion may have a Khazarian origin (perhaps through haplogroup J2), it doesn’t appear that the majority do.
As of now, I’m of the opinion that critics of the Khazarian hypothesis are correct in that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews do not descend from the Khazars. However, the official theory of a tragic Jewish diaspora into Europe, only instigated by the oppression of the Romans does not add up either. I believe that narrative is invoked simply to give political cover to the imperial designs of the Zionists using the wider Jewish community as camouflage. What the pieces seem to point to is a very extensive history of a group that is largely an endogamous ethnoreligious political group which is generally xenophobic, but willing to bend the rules with marrying into foreign religions and ethnicities only if it serves the purpose of expanding their network or infiltrating a foreign society.
TLDR: It appears that only a small portion of Ashkenazim are of Khazar origin.

That’s an interesting overview undefined, thank you.
The Z Factor series is showing its age now, I must admit. I first started this on a different blog from notes some of which dated back to 2007. It has since been updated here and there with some new posts added circa 2012-13. Although this series is designed to be an introduction to the main topics I think you’ve accurately pin-pointed where the research needs to be fleshed out. So, there’s much more reading and conversation to be had on the Khazarian question which I’ve somewhat skirted around…
“First, I should say that the accepted history of Jews as they’re known today does not seem to match the historical record.”
Certainly! And this is perhaps the primary revelation concerning the invention of the Jews. I would go as far as to say that 99.9% of Jewish history is fabrication and propaganda. Everything connected to Jewish history is riven with distortion and myth in order to elevate the tribe to the status of the chosen and the geopolitical dynamics we are presently grappling with today. King Solomon, the exodus from Egypt , Masada – all fabrication – at least in its Israelite context. It’s likely that much of this has been a copy and paste job over time, (though much, much later historically) with much of the root sources of these stories co-opted from various locations in Northern Africa.
“…the installation of a Jewish lineage within the Achaemenid empire, the establishment of the satrapy of Sogdia, the Sogdian use of a semetic alphabet, and the uncanny resemblance of the Sogdian merchants to modern Russian Jews.”
Indeed. I kept coming across these guys and they deserve some focus. I suppose the point to remember here is that the Zionist Jews are desperate to keep to the “we are special and chosen” narrative when in fact there appears to be no such thing as a common ancestry or distinguishing biological feature common only to Jews, which is why this is such a complex issue and thus open to all kinds of myth-making for psychopaths. It’s a religious tradition of choice, although this “choice” is often blurred with social engineering, as we know.
The Chaldean link has validity as I think much of the Talmudic black magick was sourced from this ancestral link during the rise of the Babylonian Levites and Pharisees.
