In July George Washington Williams writes an open letter to King Leopold II of Belgium charging his government with a lengthy list of human rights violations he witnessed being committed by Belgium forces against natives in the Congo. Williams, a black American, came to the Congo early that year interested in establishing a program through which African Americans could come to Africa to work. He had hoped that working in Africa would offer them a better chance for advancement than in the US. His hopes were quickly diminished shortly after arriving in the Congo. His letter to Leopold makes the following charges:
Henry Morton Stanley and his men have been tricking African chiefs into signing over their land to the king. He explains: “A number of electric batteries had been purchased in London, and when attached to the arm under the coat, communicated with a band of ribbon which passed over the palm of the white brother’s hand, and when he gave the black brother a cordial grasp of the hand, the black brother was greatly surprised to find his white brother so strong, that he nearly knocked him off his feet. ... When the native inquired about the disparity of strength between himself and his white brother, he was told that the white man could pull trees and perform the most prodigious feats of strength.” Another ploy commonly utilized by Stanley’s men, according to Washington, was to claim that white men have “an intimate relationship to the sun,” so intimate in fact that if a white man were to request that the sun “burn up his black brother’s village, it would be done.” According to Williams, through the use of these tactics “and a few boxes of gin, whole villages have been signed away to your Majesty.”
Stanley is widely feared in the Congo as a tyrant. His name “produces a shudder among simple folk. When mentioned; they remember his broken promises, his copious profanity, his hot temper, his heavy blows, his severe and rigorous measures, by which they were mulcted of their lands.”
Leopold’s officers force the natives to provide Belgium’s military bases in the Congo with provisions. When the natives resist, “white officers come with an expeditionary force and burn away the homes of the natives.”
The king’s men treat their prisoner’s inhumanely and subject them to harsh punishments for the slightest infractions.
Despite Leopold’s claims to the contrary, his subjects in the Congo Free State are not being provided with government services. The only schools and hospitals that have been built, Williams argues, are “not fit to be occupied by a horse.”
Leopold’s men have been kidnapping local women and using them as concubines.
Belgium officers have shot villagers for sport, in order to steal their wives, or in order to intimidate others into forced labor.
Despite Leopold’s alleged abhorrence of slavery, his government in the Congo “is engaged in the slave-trade, wholesale and retail,” according to Williams.
Williams’s open letter causes a stir in both the US and Europe. Leopold denies the charges. Ironically, Williams was the first American to propose official recognition of the Congo Free State by the United States.
Three months after Williams writes this letter to King Leopold II of Belgium, he writes a report to US President Harrison. Williams argues that the Unites States has a special responsibility since it “introduced this African government into the sisterhood of states.” In another letter, addressed to the US secretary of state, Williams accuses the Belgium government of having committed “crimes against humanity.”
The British Labour Leader makes the following statement on the subject of the Rothschilds, "This blood-sucking crew has been the cause of untold mischief and misery in Europe during the present century, and has piled up its prodigious wealth chiefly through fomenting wars between States which ought never to have quarrelled.
Whenever there is trouble in Europe, wherever rumours of war circulate and men’s minds are distraught with fear of change and calamity you may be sure that a hook-nosed Rothschild is at his games somewhere near the region of the disturbance."
Comments like this worry the Rothschilds and towards the end of the 1800’s they purchase Reuters news agency so they can have some control of the media.
The bankers spend the last decade of this century creating economic booms followed by depressions so they could buy up thousands of homes and farms for pennies on the dollar. They are preparing to take the economy down again in the near future, and in a shocking memo sent out by the American Bankers Association (which would come out in the Congressional Record more than twenty years later) the following is stated, "On September 1st 1894 we will not renew our loans under any consideration. On September 1st we will demand our money.
We will foreclose and become mortgagees in possession. We can take two-thirds of the farms west of the Mississippi, and thousands of them east of the Mississippi as well, at our own price...Then the farmers will become tenants as in England...," -1891 American Bankers Association, as printed in the Congressional Record of April 29, 1913

The central issue in the presidential campaign is the issue of more silver money. Senator William Jennings Bryan from Nebraska, a Democrat aged only 36, makes an emotional speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, entitled, "Crown Of Thorns And Cross Of Gold", in which he states, "We will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."
The bankers naturally support the Republican candidate, William McKinley who in return favors the gold standard. Furthermore those in the McKinley campaign, get manufacturers and industrialists to inform their employees that if Bryan is elected, all factories and plants would close and there would be no work. This tactic succeeded, McKinley beats Bryan, albeit by a small margin.
The Rothschilds found the Zionist Congress to promote Zionism (a political movement with the sole aim of moving all Jews into a singularly Jewish nation state) and arrange its first meeting in Munich. However due to extreme opposition from local Jews, who are quite happy where they are, this meeting has to be moved to Basle, Switzerland and takes place on 29 August. The meeting is chaired by Ashkenazi Jew, Theodor Herzl, who would state in his diaries: "It is essential that the sufferings of Jews...become worse...this will assist in realization of our plans...I have an excellent idea...I shall induce anti-Semites to liquidate Jewish wealth...The anti-Semites will assist us thereby in that they will strengthen the persecution and oppression of Jews. The anti-Semites shall be our best friends."
Herzl is subsequently elected President of the Zionist Organisation which adopts the Rothschild symbol, the red hexagram, as the Zionist flag which 51 years later will end up as the flag of Israel.

Pope Leo XIII states the following on the subject of usury, "On the one hand there is the party which holds the power because it holds the wealth, which has in its grasp all labor and all trade, which manipulates for its own benefit and its own purposes all the sources of supply, and which is powerfully represented in the councils of State itself. On the other side there is the needy and powerless multitude, sore and suffering.
Rapacious usury, which, although more than once condemned by the Church, is nevertheless under a different form but with the same guilt, still practiced by avaricious and grasping men...so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the masses of the poor a yoke little better than slavery itself."
Ferdinand de Rothschild dies this year, and by the end of this century, a period of time that is called the "Age of the Rothschilds," it is estimated that the Rothschild family controls half the wealth of the world.
