UHM – NAMING THE VENETIAN BLACK NOBILITY BEHIND THE ROLLING STONES
The Unhived Mind [UHM]
12. To introduce new cults and continue to boost those already functioning which include rock music gangsters such as the Rolling Stones (a gangster group much favored by European Black Nobility), and all of the Tavistock-created rock groups which began with the Beatles.
It’s not mentioned here, but the Rolling Stones were created from the same source and with the same purpose. Beatles were supposed to be the “good guys” while the Rolling Stones were the “bad guys”. Also, Rolling Stones were experts in creating repeating “riffs”, meaning a musical phrase that’s looping over and over again (like in “Satisfaction”, “Jumping Jack Flash” etc.). These repeating riffs trigger the mind and make one receptive to whatever sub-message you want to transfer into the minds of the listener. In the case of the Rolling Stones we have satanic messages in their lyrics, and they have repeated that over and over through the years (a more recent example is the”Bridge To Babylon” album)

The Rolling Stones were mastered by a Order of Malta member by the name of Prince Rupert Loewenstein who sponsored the ‘Sympathy for the Devil‘ track back in 1968. This Prince was also a member of the very powerful Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St George which is close in power to the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, both being higher than the Order of Malta. His son is Prince Konrad Loewenstein who is a high level Byzantine Rite priest based at the Roman Catholic church of Chiesa di San Simon Piccolo in Venice. You will notice the House of Loewenstein also has connections to the House of Rosenberg which is an offshoot scion from the powerful House of Orsini. Lets not forget how I gave you all the connection of the powerful Borghese based house of Aldobrandini who are named after the highly occultic Aldebaran closely connected with the important Pleiades. Now go and listen to the Rolling Stones track called ‘2000 Thousand Light Years from Home‘ from the ‘Satanic Majesties Request‘ written by Rupert’s boy Mick Jagger. This song is all about the Aldebaran.

Profile: Prince of pop money: Financial adviser Prince Rupert Loewenstein is the man who gathers the moss for Rolling Stone Mick Jagger among others. Gail Counsell finds there is more to him than money
GAIL COUNSELL
Sunday 23 August 1992
HIS real name is Prince Rupert Ludwig Ferdinand zu Loewenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg, but associates are wont to refer to him as Rupie the Groupie. Such are the indignities that inevitably accompany the role of financial adviser to the rich and famous – though as one of the purely professional variety, he is at least spared the need to offer poolside services.
At first sight neither name nor nickname seems particularly appropriate. He looks the standard-issue merchant banker he once was, with grey hair, a slightly balding pate and a fleshy, round, pale face. Decades of association with the flamboyant Mick Jagger, the most high-profile of his clutch of showbiz clients, seem to have left him sartorially unmarked, and he sports the unremarkable suit and striped shirt in which fiscal probity automatically resides.
All is not quite as it appears, however. There is evidence of a most unbankerly sense of humour, for example. On the walls of his West End office, rubbing frames with the usual dull prints to be found in such places, hang two raucously vulgar Beryl Cook paintings, hinting at unconventional depths. The fat, pink nude hysterically ensconced on a leopardskin rug makes him chortle wickedly with delight. And it transpires that he can manage a mean line in voice impersonations of acquaintances. As a longstanding friend, the financier Richard Cox Johnson, puts it: ‘Rupert is very bright, very funny, very amusing, and very likeable. He’s a bit of a showman, a bit extraordinary. He has always lived life at a very high rate.’
A sense of the absurd is presumably useful if you are in the business of managing the affairs of pop stars and their ilk. It is an odd line of work, mopping the brows and tidying the bank accounts of those whose finances involve an unconscionable amount of money. He describes the job as ‘a little bit of agent, business manager, accountant all rolled into one’. The essence of doing it well seems to be dealing with the person, not merely their money; the personal touch. ‘When I was a broker, clients would ring me up asking me what the best play was on in London and I’d be delighted to oblige,’ he recalls.
Client Jagger’s recent estrangement from Jerry Hall is presumably top of the list of his current problems. With the rock star’s fortune likely to be severely dented by the split, it seems certain that Prince Rupert will be burning the midnight oil, though such subjects are firmly off-limits for discussion. Nevertheless, marital disharmony is an occupational risk for the moneyed classes, and virtually compulsory among the showbiz fraternity, and he has plenty of experience to draw on. Indeed, there is a Golden Rule. ‘When families split up you have to make it absolutely clear whose side you are on at once,’ he says, tapping the table for emphasis.
Back in the Swinging Sixties, Prince Rupert was one of the Young Turks, out to shake the establishment and make a fortune in the process. Born in Majorca in 1933, he includes among his Bavarian ancestors such luminaries as the Elector Palatine Friedrich I, while his address book is an invaluable collation of the Right Contacts. Brought to England in 1940, he read medieval history at Magdalen College, joined brokers Bache and Co to pick up the City ropes and then ganged up with fellow Oxfordians, Jonathan Guinness and Richard Cox Johnson, as well as Louis Heyman, then with Rothschilds, all of whom were keen to make their fortunes. With the blind self-assuredness of the upper classes, they decided to buy a merchant bank. ‘I think we decided that young people plus a small traditional City bank was a combination that made sense,’ he reflects. ‘These days merchant banking is an utterly different business but at the time it seemed to us a good idea.’
After searching through The Bankers’ Almanac they eventually found one they could afford, the old-established firm of Leopold Joseph. Backed by the wealthy Kemsley branch of the Berry family (the ones who owned the Sunday Times, rather than those who were proprietors of the Telegraph) they paid pounds 600,000. ‘In those days many wealthy families had their own financial organisations to manage their money,’ Prince Rupert observes, adding wistfully: ‘These days that’s totally impossible of course. It costs too much.’
In 1962, when they acquired it, Leopold Joseph’s business was almost entirely centred on the discount market, plus a smattering of trusted family clients. Its somewhat chaotic nature represented a formidable challenge for a bunch of striplings – Rupert was barely 29 years old. ‘At first we all worked from one room. The three Joseph brothers, who stayed on with the company for the first few years after we bought the bank, had adjoining desks . . . you could hear them. One would be buying Shell as the other was selling it.’
Modern advances like a central dealing book were instituted, and they set about shifting the bank into corporate finance and lucrative personal client work. Pulling in wealthy clients is a tricky business, but Prince Rupert had listened to the experts. ‘Sir Siegmund Warburg’s wealthiest and happiest client would go into a meeting with him and leave half an hour later feeling dismal and at bankruptcy’s door,’ he chuckles.
Prince Rupert’s speciality was showbiz clients – in particular, Jagger, whose penchant for mixing it with the nobility is well-recorded. Introduced to the Rolling Stone through the inevitable mutual friend, ‘who rang up out of the blue and said their finances were in a mess and could we help’, he had, with blimpish charm, never heard of Jagger. Later, and better informed, he embarked on a successful attempt to sort out the pop star’s difficulties.
The fact that Jagger is now reputedly worth anything between pounds 50m and pounds 100m is testimony to Rupert’s abilities; so too is the fact that 24 years later Jagger is still his client, despite the fact that in 1981 Prince Rupert left the bank to run his own business. At the time Leopold Joseph’s client list stretched to around 100 wealthy individuals, of whom Prince Rupert looked after 20 or 30. Half of them stayed with him. Also in tow was Andrew Wilkinson, an accountant and now a joint director and shareholder in Rupert Loewenstein Ltd.
But it is a changing scene. Around two-thirds of his 15 or so clients are ‘new money’, for example, though he says he rather likes that. ‘It’s much more interesting than old money. People with old money are nearly always having to be adjusted downwards; those with new money are much more realistic.’
Still, these are tough times for financial advisers. Lloyd’s has swept through the ranks of the wealthy like a plague, devastating once healthy bank accounts, while the recession has touched even the very wealthy. Rupert Loewenstein Ltd’s latest accounts show after-tax losses of pounds 281,409.
Prince Rupert has two sons, Rudolf and Konrad, one a teacher, the other a student. But, he says, it is his daughter Dora who is the business person. She runs a small public relations company from his offices. But then PR is a contacts business, and contacts run in the family.
HISTORY OF HOUSE OF WITTELSBACH
Royal House of Bavaria and Princely House of Löwenstein
Catholic: Once thought to have descended from the family of Lords of Babenberg (modern Bamberg), rulers or MarkGrafs of the Ostmark, the Wittelsbach line was founded by Luitpold (d 5 Jul 907), cousin and General of the Carolingian Emperor Arnulf, m to Kunigunde, dau of Cout Palatine Berthold of Swabia. He had with other issue (1) Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria 907-37, who was succ by his son Eberhard, whose 2nd son Arnulf, Count Palatine of Bavaria (d 954), whose male line became extinct with Konrad, Count of Diesen (d 1258); (2) Luitpold, MarkGraf of the Ostmark (d 984), father of Ernst, Duke of Swabia (d 1015), whose 2nd son Ernst (d 1030) was ancestor of MarkGraf Leopold IV, Duke of Bavaria (1108-1141), and his brother Heinrich II, Duke of Austria (1112-1177), this male line extinct with Duke Friedrich of Austria (d 1246); (3) Berthold, MarkGraf in Bavaria (d 980), was ancestor of Otto I, Count of Scheyern (d 1072), whose 3rd son Otto II, Count of Dachau acquired the castle of Wittelsbah, and was father of Otto IV, Count Palatine in Bavaria (d 1156), whose son Otto V was invested with the Duchy of Bavaria as Otto I, after the fall of Henry the Lion, 16 Sep 1180. Otto V’s 2nd son Ludwig I (1174-1231) was father of Otto II (1206-1253) invested as Count Palatine of the Rhine (PfalzGraf bei Rhein) 1214 following his m to Agnes (1201-1267), dau and heiress of Heinrich I, Count Palatine of the Rhine, giving him sovereign privileges in parts of the ancient Duchy of Franconia west of the Rhone, centered around Heidelberg. Ludwig III, Duke of Bavaria (1229-1294), divided his inheritance with his younger brother Henry (1235-1290) but these possessions returned to the senior line on the extinction of Henry’s male line in 1339.
Ludwig III was appointed an Elector of the Empire as Count Palatine of the Palatinate 15 May 1275, had with other issue two sons, Rudolf (1274-1319) who succeeded him as Elector, and founder of the Electoral Branch A (Palatinate, see later), and Ludwig III or IV (1282-1347), Duke of Bavaria, who succeeded to the entire Bavarian estates after the extinction of the line of Heinrich, and was founder of Branch B (Bavaria); he was elected King of the Romans (Germany) in 1314 and crowned Emperor 1328. The junior Bavarian line B continued to rule in Bavaria, and remained Catholic at the reformation; William V, Duke of Bavaria (1546-1628), named his elder son Maximilian (1573-1651) co-Duke of Bavaria 1594, and abdicated as ruler in his son’s favour 15 Oct 1597. Maximilian was elevated to the dignity of Elector of the Empire with the deprivation of that title from the Elector Palatine 25 Feb 1623 (this title restored by the Treaty of Westphalia 1648, increasing the number of Electors). Charles VII (1697-1745), Elector of Bavaria, was elected King of Bohemia 7 Dec 1741 (in opposition to the Archduchess Maria Theresia) but never took possession, and was elected Emperor 24 Jan 1742 (crowned 12 Feb 1742); his son Maximilian III Joseph, Elector of Bavaria, died without male issue 30 Dec 1777 when the junior line became extinct in the male line. The Electorate of Bavaria passed to the Elector Palatine, head of the senior line, by the terms of the Treaty of Westphalia.
Branch A (Palatinate, now Bavaria): Rupert III, Elector, Count Palatine (1352-1410) was father of four surviving sons of whom the elder, Ludwig III, Elector, Count Palatine (1378-1436) was father of two surviving sons (1) Ludwig IV (1424-1449) succeeded as Elector, and left issue, Philip (1448-1508), who succeeded his cousin Otto II as Elector 1499 and whose male line became extinct with the death of Elector Otto III, 1559. The younger son (2) Frederick (1425-1476) succeeded his brother as Elector 1449, agreeing to remain unmarried to insure the succession of Philip; in 1471 he secretly married his mistress, Clara Tott, mother of two sons, Frederick b 1461, and Ludwig (1463-1524) who were legitimated thereby, with the verbal (and possibly written) consent of his nephew and eventual heir as Elector, Philip. Authorisation for this marriage was apparently renewed in act of 24 Jan 1472, while the issue of this marriage were also declared legitimate by Papal Bull issued before 9 Oct 1470 (when it was deposited with the Bishopric of Strasburg). This line has since 1559 been the primogeniture line of the House of Wittelsbach, see under LINE B: LÖWENSTEIN below.

Early career
Graduated from Magdalen College , founded in 1448 and is considered one of the most prestigious of Oxford University , Rupert zu Loewenstein began his banking career in the firm of brokers Bache and Co. He learned the intricacies of the City and partners with former classmates Oxford – Jonathan Guinness , Richard Cox Johnson, Louis Heymann and young members of the Rothschild family – to buy a business bank . They are supported in this venture by the Kemsley group which has then Sunday Times .
The setting is selected bank Leopold Joseph and Sons, long established on the London market. It was purchased in 1962 for $ 600,000 pounds , or about 721,000 euros. This family firm is focused on the market of discount and deals with a small number of trusted clients.
