Biased and secretive answers? Because I refuse to share personal information about particular individuals? I have *not* been biased or secretive about publicly known facts which go far to indicate the type of individuals that the Rothschilds are as a family.
NONE OF THEM exploit their members in unethical fashion OR "recruit members," for that matter.

He will be lumping Pythagoras, Plato, Homer, Socrates, Aristotle, Paracelsus, Leonardo da Vinci, and a great many others, into that category if that is what he is indeed insinuating.

Well you know what they say right? "History is written by the victors." And who would that be?
*cough* ROME *cough*
The Mithraic Mysteries were a mystery religion practised in the Roman Empire from about the 1st to 4th centuries AD. The name of the Persian god Mithra, adapted into Greek as Mithras, was linked to a new and distinctive imagery. Writers of the Roman Empire period referred to this mystery religion by phrases which can be anglicized as Mysteries of Mithras or Mysteries of the Persians;[1][2] modern historians refer to it as Mithraism,[1] or sometimes Roman Mithraism.[3][4] The mysteries were popular in the Roman military.[5]
Worldwide, the three largest groups of Christianity are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the various denominations of Protestantism. The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox patriarchates split from one another in the East–West Schism of 1054 AD, and Protestantism came into existence during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century, splitting from the Roman Catholic Church.
"Let the mind be enlarged ... to the grandeur of the mysteries, and not the mysteries contracted to the narrowness of the mind." - Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

Roman Catholicism as many scholars (aka those who have actually studied the matter) agree is Mithraism given a 'Christian' veneer. Not to mention the organization continues to this day to fit the definitions of blasphemy given within the book they claim to follow.
They even changed the ten commandments.

CIA insinuated that the quote had nothing to do with the mysteries.
I merely pointed out the fact that their quote comes from a former high priest of a solar cult. That is all.
You can make all the assumptions you like thinking I am insinuating one thing or another, but lets not forget that they are YOUR assumptions. Nor lets us forget that previous assumptions made by yourself have fallen flat and been refuted by documented history.

The Rothschild coat of arms contains a clenched fist with five arrows symbolizing the five dynasties established by the five sons of Mayer Rothschild, in a reference to Psalm 127: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior".
Interesting that from a symbolic point of view or rather an esoteric interpretation of the crest the five arrows pointing down would be the 5 points of a pentacle (pentagram) and pointing down would indicate the 'head' pointing downwards which is usually associated with less than honest intentions.

Again, you couldn't be more wrong. First of all, the arrows do NOT make a pentagram. The symbol was based upon the story of Plutarch of Scilurus. As Plutarch lay dying, he gathered all his sons together and handed them a bundle of arrows - enough to represent all of them. He asked each of them to attempt to break the bundle in half. All of them failed. Plutarch taught his sons that, as with the arrows, their strength as a family lies in their unity together. Singularly, any arrow can be broken, but as a family they are unbreakable.
