 | | Rhodes' men, said Rotberg, were a special breed: "They were to 'esteem the performance of public duties' as their highest aim. |
 | | Later, "with support from Lord Rothschild and Alfred Beit, [Rhodes] was able to monopolize the diamond mines of South Africa" and put his enormous, illgotten fortune in diamonds and gold to work in his plan for world empire. |
 | | To accomplish this end, Rhodes confided to his intimate friend and executor, William T. Stead, it was necessary to (in Rhodes' own words) create "a society copied, as to organization, from the Jesuits." Unlike the Jesuits (the Society of Jesus), however, Rhodes' society would be secret and decidedly un-Christian. |
