Colonel Kurtz’s Red Hats are crediting themselves with the death of 87-year-old William Rothschild, a prominent member of the massive Jewish bankster family whose crispy corpse was found by first responders at a Los Angeles home that caught fire Wednesday afternoon.

At 4:30 Wednesday, fire crews responding to the blaze pulled the charred remains of an elderly man from the 825-square-foot woodsy home that lacked the garish opulence of typical Rothschild residences. Although authorities have yet to comment on the cause of the inferno that took 45 firefighters 35 minutes to extinguish, a source in Gen. Smith’s office told Real Raw News that Red Hats doused the house in kerosine and set it afire after “beating the shit out of” Rothschild as he lay in bed.

Our source said Kurtz neither notified nor sought consent from White Hats prior to the killing, but “proudly accepted” responsibility when the inferno became a matter of public record.

“I didn’t take this action because William Rothschild was a greedy Jew. We took matters into our hands because the man was a lifelong pedophile who’d been molesting kids with impunity for half a century,” Kurtz purportedly told Gen. Smith.

Per our source, six unassuming Red Hats arrived in Los Angeles Wednesday morning and had copious amounts of kerosine and blueprints of the Laural Canyon home and yard in their possession. Having peered in windows and seen Rothschild snoozing in bed, they circumvented a pedestrian alarm system and crept inside the house. The Red Hats then roused Rothschild, told him, “Happy Thanksgiving, you sick bastard,” and then pummeled his frail body with their bare hands until he fell unconscious. Then they immobilized him, strapping him to the bed and dumping kerosene on his face and torso. Gallons of the accelerant, our source said, covered the floors and walls.

“Then they lit the match, and now there’s one less Rothschild around,” our source said.

Kurtz told Gen. Smith he’d share evidence of William Rothschild’s predilection for torturing and molesting children after the holiday weekend.

“What little we know right now—Rothschild, despite his age, was using that hideaway to have kids brought to him. That’s why the place was tucked away in a wooded area. Kurtz has said this pedophile thing extends across the entire Rothschild family.”
