As I said in other threads, some people say this evil gang of money lenders originated from ancient Rome and moved elsewhere, others say they were taken from Israel by Rome, or that they at least took ideas and concepts from them. Either way, I'm not certain where the bottom of the rabbit hole goes, I'm not certain it's "Jews" but the fact of the matter is that the past few hundred years, these people have been Jews (or at least hide behind that religion/culture) edit: I should also say that there are plenty of historians who talk about the strange relationship between the Vatican (once a big money center for Christian Europe) and certain Jewish families. Make of that as you will, I am not convinced either way. I just know what is happening in my life
