| 0:00.0 | The surreal life. I'm Rebecca Leib. I'm Jason Horton. And this is Ghost Town. |
| 0:19.7 | In December 1972, Marie Helene de Rothschild threw a surrealist ball at the Chateau de Ferrier. |
| 0:29.6 | It is one of the many and very large and very extravagant Chateau's owned by the Rothschild family |
| 0:37.6 | located about 15 miles outside of Paris. We're going to be talking about, you guessed it, |
| 0:46.1 | the Rothschild surrealist ball of 1972. This is incredible. This is so amazing. I love surrealism. I |
| 0:55.7 | love talking about rich people. I love Chateau's 15 miles outside of Paris. I love the 70s. |
| 1:02.3 | So I familiarize myself with the Rothschild. Just heard their name before as a powerful, |
| 1:08.0 | wealthy family and obviously a lot of conspiracy slash illuminati talk comes with that. And of course, |
| 1:18.8 | I don't know if it's obvious to a lot of people, a lot of anti-Semitism. |
| 1:22.6 | For sure. And it goes back a long way. It's not something that's recent. It's a long history. And |
| 1:31.1 | I have really no opinion on the Rothschilds. I don't necessarily love the ultra and |

| 1:56.7 | I'm not a big conspiracy theory person. Do I find it fascinating sometimes? Absolutely. And I |
| 2:03.7 | absolutely realize that not every piece of information is out there and available. And sometimes |
| 2:09.2 | people's conspiracies in rare occasions or maybe more. I don't know, are correct. But for a lot of, |
| 2:16.0 | a lot of it is, I consider it dangerous, not helpful, and usually pretty hateful. So again, |
| 2:24.9 | I'm not defending them where I'm like, leave the Rothschilds alone. No, no, no. Because I don't like, |
| 2:30.4 | I don't hate the wealthy, I don't love them either. So it's not a love hate thing for me. It's just, |
| 2:36.6 | it's just something that I found interesting that happened. It's just being a little journalist |
| 2:40.4 | over here. Yeah, I just, I just dug deep. But I didn't know anything about it. And I had to really, |
| 2:45.6 | I don't know, it's, it's a very strange, well, the story's very strange because it's another one |
