Appendix: Henry Ford's Forged "Apology" |
IN an interview published in the New York World February 17, 1921, Mr. Henry Ford put the case for the "Protocols of Zion" tersely and convincingly. He said: "The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on. They are sixteen years old and they have fitted the world situation up to this time. They fit it now." He made this statement when Jewish leaders and the Jewish Press in America were fulminating against a series of articles printed in Ford's newspaper The Dearborn Independent during the years 1920 to 1922. After some years of pressure such as only organized Jewry can conceive or inflict, Henry Ford was made to apologise to Jewry in a letter addressed to Louis Marshall, then leader of the American Jewish Committee, dated June 30, 1927. Ford's apology was abject, but neither then nor since did he ever deny the truth of the articles.
As clearly as the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" reveal a concerted plan of action, of intention and achievement, through centuries of world history, so the long series of articles in The Dearborn Independent expose the powerful concentration of forces organized by Jewish interests and the effects of Jewish influences in the United States from the time of the Civil War up to the uneasy years following the first world war. The scope of the original articles is wide, the analysis of the relentless march of Jewish ambition and the rapid acquisition of political power is deep and dispassionate. In their entirety they present a most thorough exposition of the range of Jewish influences in America over many decades; they provide adequate evidence of the motives that inspire such phenomena and the ultimate objective towards which Jewish policy is leading the world. In the 29 years that have passed since the publication of the series began, Jewish power in the United States has developed to a degree far out-distancing even the alarming proportions exposed at that time.
The Jewish "National State" of which we have heard so much deceptive talk elsewhere is already firmly established. De jure and de facto the United States of America can claim that title, though many American citizens may even yet be astonished and no doubt indignant to read the statement.
But, examine the FACTS. The Dearborn Independent articles fitted the American scene 30 years ago, they fit it now! The Jewish Question continues to mount the scale of public attention all over the civilized world, attracting ever a higher types of mind to the discussion of its significance. It cannot be encompassed within the range of a single volume.
This edited version seeks merely to give the gist of the four volumes in which the famous series of articles were printed under the title: THE INTERNATIONAL JEW. Presenting the essential facts in easier sequence and condensed to about one-tenth of the original wordage, many contemporary illustrations have been eliminated, but the implications of the Jewish Question in America and the evidence of the impact of the Jewish Idea on the lives of ordinary American citizens have been marshalled in a form readily assimilable by new readers, providing a useful digest for the informed. The way to a just solution of "the world's foremost problem" is clearly indicated.
Truth is visible when honest men seek Her diligently. The reader, wherever he may be, to whatever nation he may belong, should seriously reflect upon the fact that the conditions long-operating in the United States and the conclusions which emerge from this investigation of the Jewish Question in that powerful country, can, in all probability, now be paralleled in his own land, his own city. If he should seek confirmation -- let him look around.

London, February, 1948.
HENRY FORD was born on July 30, 1863, during the American Civil War, on a farm at Dearborn, near Detroit, Michigan. He was the son of William Ford, a prosperous farmer who was of Irish stock. His mother was of mixed Dutch and Scandinavian origin. At 17 he became an apprentice in a machine shop in Detroit, and he also kept a machine shop of his own and worked for a harvester company by repairing their portable farm engines. His mechanical genius showed itself in early youth, and in 1890, when he secured a post with the Detroit Edison Electric Company, he realized that the public were more interested in road vehicles than in tractors and he studied the principles of the gas engine to overcome the weight of steam engines. In 1887 he had built his first gas engine and kept on building more. His first gasoline "buggy" was given a public trial in 1893 at which it attained a speed of 25 miles an hour.
In 1903 he formed the Ford Motor Company with 12 shareholders and a capital of 100,000 dollars. In 1924 he was producing one thousand of the world-famous Ford motor-cars a day. In 1924 the annual production of the Ford works reached the towering peak of two million cars, trucks and tractors. The secret of his success lay in mass production methods, and high wages. Of humble origin himself he had a deep feeling for his employees, and worked out rough and ready principles in regard to labour which he constantly applied. One was to pay the highest possible wages, and in this he was a true reformer; another, to accept applicants for work without questions or references. Many European socialists were impressed by Ford's proof demonstration that Marx had been rendered obsolete by Ford and that capitalism could be rationalized and moralized. In 1918, Ford, who had been a supporter of President Wilson, had unsuccessfully run for the Senate, and there was some talk later -- it caused alarm among the professional politicians -- that he would run for the Presidency, but he announced that he would not stand against Coolidge. Ford made great endeavours, most of them impracticable, to negotiate peace between the warring nations of Europe in the first world war.
In 1920 he went into print and bought "The Dearborn Independent," a virile and very independent journal published in his home town. It was noted for its courageous and continuous examination of the Jewish Question in America, and for its objective views on true Americanism.
Ford was accused by many Jews, along with. Deterding and Greuger, to be a financial backer of the Hitler movement in Germany. At the Nuremberg Tribunal, Baldur Von Shirach, Hitler Youth Leader, said he had become "Jew-wise" through reading Ford's books.
Ford was a resolute opponent of Roosevelt's policy of "controls" in industry and commerce, but in his later years his political and other public activities were few. He died aged 83, at Detroit, April 7, 1947. A famous American and one of the world's outstanding individuals.

In his book "My Life and Work," published in 1922, Henry Ford includes the following concerning the "International Jew" series of articles: "The work which we describe as Studies in the Jewish Question, and which is variously described by antagonists as "the Jewish campaign," "the attack on the Jews," "the anti-Semitic pogrom," and so forth, needs no explanation to those who have followed it. Its motives and purposes must be judged by the work itself. It is offered as a contribution to a question which deeply affects the country, a question which is racial at its source, and which concerns influences and ideals rather than persons. Our statements must be judged by candid readers who are intelligent enough to lay our words alongside life as they are able to observe it. If our word and their observation agree, the case is made. It is perfectly silly to begin to damn us before it has been shown that our statements are baseless or reckless. The first item to be considered is the truth of what we have set forth. And that is precisely the item which our critics choose to evade. Readers of our articles will see at once that we are not actuated by any kind of prejudice, except it may be a prejudice in favour of the principles which have made our civilization. There had been observed in this country certain streams of influence which were causing a marked deterioration in our literature, amusements, and social conduct; business was departing from its old-time substantial soundness; a general letting-down of standards was felt everywhere. It was not the robust coarseness of the white man, the rude indelicacy, say, of Shakespeare's characters, but a nasty Orientalism which has insidiously affected every channel of expression -- and to such an extent that it was time to challenge it. The fact that these influences are all traceable to one racial source is a fact to be reckoned with . . . Our work does not pretend to say that last word on the Jew in America. It says only the word which describes his present impress on that country. When that impress is changed, the report of it can be changed . . . Our opposition is only to ideas, false ideas . . . which are sapping the moral stamina of the people. These ideas proceed from easily identified sources, they are promulgated by easily discoverable methods and they are controlled by mere exposure. When people learn to identify the source and nature of these influences swirling around them, it is sufficient. Let the American people once understand that it is not natural degeneracy but calculated subversion that inflicts us, and they are safe. The explanation is the cure. This work was taken up without personal motives. When it reached a stage where we believed the American people could grasp the key, we let it rest for the time. Our enemies say that we began it for revenge and that we laid it down in fear. Time will show that our critics are merely dealing in evasion because they dare not tackle the main question."
The story of the Jews in America begins with Christopher Columbus. On
August 2, 1492, more than 300,000 Jews were expelled from Spain and on
August 3, the next day, Columbus set sail for the west, taking a group of
Jews with him.
They were not, however, refugees, for the prophetic navigator's plans had
aroused the sympathy of influential Jews for a long period previously.
Columbus himself tells us that he consorted much with Jews. The first letter
he wrote detailing his discoveries was to a Jew. Indeed, the eventful voyage
itself which added to men's knowledge and wealth "the other half of the
earth" was made possible by Jews. The pleasant story that it was Queen
Isabella's jewels which financed the voyage has disappeared under cool
research.
There were three Maranos or "secret Jews" who wielded great influence at
the Spanish court: Luis de Santagel, who was an important merchant of
Valencia and who was "farmer" of the royal taxes; his relative, Gabriel
Sanchez, who was the royal treasurer; and their friend, the royal
chamberlain, Juan Cabrero. These worked unceasingly on Queen Isabella's
imagination, picturing to her the depletion of the royal treasury and the
likelihood of Columbus discovering the fabulous gold of the Indies, until
the Queen was ready to offer her jewels in pawn for the funds. But Santagel
craved permission to advance the money himself, which he did, 17,000 ducats
in all, about 5,000 pounds, perhaps equal to 40,000 pounds today.
Associated with Columbus in the voyage were at least five Jews: Luis de
Torres, interpreter; Marco, the surgeon; Bernal, the physician; Alonzo de la
Calle, and Gabriel Sanchez. Luis de Torres was the first man ashore, the
first to discover the use of tobacco; he settled in Cuba and may be said to
be the father of Jewish control of the tobacco business as it exists today.
Columbus' old patrons, Luis de Santagel and Gabriel Sanchez, received many
privileges for the part they played in the work, but Columbus himself became
the victim of a conspiracy fostered by Bernal, the ship's doctor, and
suffered injustice and imprisonment as his reward.
From that beginning, Jews looked more and more to America as a fruitful
field, and immigration set in strongly toward South America, principally
Brazil. But because of military participation in a disagreement between the
Brazilians and the Dutch, the Jews of Brazil found it necessary to emigrate,
which they did in the direction of the Dutch colony of what is now New York.
Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch governor, did not entirely approve of their
settling among his people and ordered them to leave, but the Jews had
evidently taken the precaution to assure their being received if not
welcomed, because upon revoking the order of Stuyvesant, the Directors gave
as one of the reasons for the Jews being received, "the large amount of
capital which they have invested in the shares of the Company."
Nevertheless they were forbidden to enter public service and to open
retail shops, which had the effect of driving them into foreign trade in
which they were soon exercising all but a monopoly because of their European
connections.
This is only one of the thousand illustrations which can be given of the
resourcefulness of the Jew. Forbid him in one direction he will excel in
another. When he was forbidden to deal in new clothes, he sold old clothes -
that was the beginning of the organized traffic in secondhand clothing. When
he was forbidden to deal in merchandise, he dealt in waste - the Jew is the
originator of the waste product business of the world; he was the originator
of the salvage system; he found wealth in the debris of civilization. He
taught people how to use old rags, how to clean old feathers, how to use
gall nuts and rabbit skins. He has always had a taste for the furrier trade,
which he now controls, and to him is due the multitude of common skins which
now pass under various alluring trade names as furs of high origin.
Unwittingly, old Peter Stuyvesant compelled the Jews to make New York the
principal port of America, and though a majority of New York Jews had fled
to Philadelphia at the time of the American Revolution, most of them
returned to New York at the earliest opportunity, instinct seeming to make
them aware that, in New York was to be their principal paradise of gain. And
so it has proved.
New York is the greatest center of Jewish population in the world. It is
the gateway where the bulk of American imports and exports are taxed, and
where practical all the business done in America pays tribute to the masters
of money. The very land of the city is the holdings of the Jews.
No wonder that Jewish writers, viewing this unprecedented prosperity, this
unchecked growth in wealth and power, exclaim enthusiastically that the
United States is the Promised Land foretold by the prophets, and New York
the New Jerusalem. Some have gone even further and described the peaks of
the Rockies as "the mountains of Zion," and with reason, too, if the mining
and coastal wealth of the Jews is considered.
In the time of George Washington there were about 4,000 Jews in the
country, most of them well to do traders. They favored the American side and
helped the revolutionary colonies out with loans at critical moments.
In fifty years the traceable increase in the Jewish population of the
United States was more than 3,300,000. What it is today no man can estimate
with any hope of accuracy.
To make a list of the lines of business controlled by the Jews of the
United States would be to touch most of the vital industries of the country
- those which are really vital, and those which cultivated habit have been
made to seem vital. The theatrical business is exclusively Jewish:
play-producing, booking, theater operation are all in the hands of Jews.
This accounts for the fact that in almost every production today can be
detected propaganda, sometimes glaringly commercial advertisement, sometimes
direct political instruction.
The motion picture industry; the sugar industry; the tobacco industry;
fifty per cent or more of the meat packing industry; over sixty per cent of
the shoemaking industry; most of the musical purveying done in the country;
jewelry; grain; cotton; oil; steel; magazine authorship; news distribution;
the liquor business; the loan business; these, to name only the industries
with national and international sweep, are in control of the Jews of the
United States, either alone or in association with Jews overseas.
The American people would be vastly surprised if they could see a line-up
of some of the "American business men' who hold up our commercial prestige
overseas. They are mostly Jews. This may throw a sidelight on the regard in
which "American business methods" are held in some parts of the world. When
many different races of people can carry on business under the name
"American," and do it legally, too, it is not surprising that Americans do
not recognize some of the descriptions of American methods which appear in
the foreign Press. If the reputation of American business has suffered, it
is because something other than American methods have been used under the
American name.
Instances of Jewish prosperity in the United States are commonplace, but
prosperity, the just reward of foresight and application, is not to be
confounded with control. It would be impossible for any Gentile coalition
under similar circumstances to attain the control which the Jews have won,
for the reason that there is lacking in the Gentile a certain quality of
working-togetherness, a certain conspiracy of objective, and the
adhesiveness of intense raciality, which characterizes the Jew. It is
nothing to a Gentile that another man is a Gentile; it is next to everything
to a Jew that the man at his door is another Jew.
The International Jewish plan to move their money market to the United
States was what the American people did rot want. We have the warning of
history as to what this means. It has meant in turn that Spain, Venice,
Germany or Great Britain received the blame or suspicion of the world for
what the Jewish financiers have done. It is a most important consideration
that most of the national animosities that exist today arose out of
resentment against what Jewish money power did under the camouflage of
national names.
"The British did this," "The Germans did this," when it was the
International Jew who did it, the nations being but the marked spaces on his
checker board. Today, around the world the blaming word is heard, "The
United States did this. If it were not for the United States the world would
be in a better shape. The Americans are a sordid, greedy, cruel people."
Why? Because the Jewish money power is centered here and is making money
out of both our immunity and Europe's distress, playing one against the
other; and because so many so-called "American business men" abroad today
are not Americans at all - they are Jews.
Citizens wake up with a start to find that even the white nations are
hardly allowed to see each other nowadays except through Jewish eyes. Great
Britain and France seldom see a special American spokesman who is not a Jew.
That may be the reason why they reciprocate by sending Jews to us, thinking
perhaps that we prefer them.
The Sixth Protocol --
"We will force up wages, which however will be of no benefit to workers, for we at the same time will cause a rise in the prices of prime necessities, pretending that this is due to decline of agriculture and of cattle raising. We will also artfully and deeply undermine the sources of production by instilling in the workmen ideas of anarchy and encourage them in the use of alcohol, at the same time taking measures to drive all the intellectual forces of the Gentiles from the land."
The Jewish Question exists wherever Jews appear, says Theodor Herzl,
because they bring it with them. It is not their numbers that create the
Question, for there is in almost every country a larger number of other
aliens than of Jews. It is not their much-boasted ability, for it is now
coming to be understood that, give the Jew an equal start and hold him to
the rules of the game, and he is not smarter than anyone else; indeed, in
one great class of Jews the zeal is quenched when opportunity for intrigue
is removed.
The Jewish Question is not the number of Jews who reside here, not in the
American's jealousy of the Jew's success, certainly not in any objection to
the Jew's Mosaic religion; it is in something else, and that something else
is the fact of Jewish influence on the life of the country where Jews dwell;
in the United States it is the Jewish influence on American life.
That the Jews exert an influence, they themselves loudly proclaim. The
Jews claim, indeed, that the fundamentals of the United States are Jewish
and not Christian, and that the entire history of this country should be
re-written to make proper acknowledgement of the prior glory due to Judah.
If the question of influence rested entirely on the Jewish claim, there
would be no occasion for doubt; they claim it all. But it is kindness to
hold them to the facts; it is also more clearly explanatory of the
conditions in our country.
If they insist that they "gave us our Bible" and "gave us our God" and
"gave us our religion," as they do over and over again with nauseating
superciliousness throughout all their polemic publications -- not a
single one of these claims being true -- they must not grow impatient
and profane while we complete the list of the real influences they have set
at work in American life.
It is not the Jewish people but the Jewish idea, and the people
only as vehicles of the idea, that is the point at issue. In this
investigation of the Jewish Question, it is Jewish influence and the Jewish
Idea that are being discovered and defined.
The Jews are propagandists. This was originally their mission. But they
were to propagate the central tenet of their religion. This they failed to
do. By failing in this they, according to their own Scriptures, failed
everywhere They are now without a mission of blessing. Few of their leaders
even claim a spiritual mission. But the mission idea is still with them in a
degenerate form; it represents the grossest materialism of the day; it has
become a means of sordid acquisition instead of a channel of service.
The essence of the Jewish Idea in its influence on the labor world
is the same as in all other departments -- the destruction of real
values in favor of fictitious values. The Jewish philosophy of money is not
to "make money," but to "get money." The distinction between these two is
fundamental. That explains Jews being "financiers" instead of "captains of
industry." It is the difference between "getting" and "making."
The creative, constructive type of mind has an affection for the thing it
is doing. The non-Jewish worker formerly chose the work he liked best. He
did not change employment easily, because there was a bond between him and
the kind of work he had chosen. Nothing else was so attractive to him. He
would rather draw a little less money and do what he liked to do, than a
little more and do what irked him. The "maker" is always thus influenced by
his liking.
Not so the "getter." It doesn't matter what he does, so long as the income
is satisfactory. He has no illusions, sentiments or affections on the side
of work. It is the "geld" that counts. He has no attachment for the things
he makes, for he doesn't make any; he deals in the things which other men
make and regards them solely on the side of their money-making value. "The
joy of creative labor" is nothing to him, not even an intelligible saying.
Now, previous to the advent of Jewish socialistic and subversive ideas,
the predominant thought in the labor world was to "make" things and thus
"make" money. There was a pride among mechanics. Men who made things were a
sturdy, honest race because they dealt with ideas of skill and quality, and
their very characters were formed by the satisfaction of having performed
useful functions in society. They were the Makers. And society was solid so
long as they were solid. Men made shoes as exhibitions of their skill.
Farmers raised crops for the inherent love of crops, not with reference to
far-off money-markets. Everywhere THE JOB was the main thing and the rest
was incidental.
The only way to break down this strong safeguard of society -- a creative
laboring class of sturdy character -- was to sow other ideas among it; and
the most dangerous of all the ideas sown was that which substituted "get"
for "make."
With the required manipulation of the money and food markets, enough
pressure could be brought to bear on the ultimate consumers to give point to
the idea of "get," and it was not long before the internal relations of
American business were totally upset, with Jews at the head of the banking
system, and Jews at the head of both the conservative and radical elements
of the Labor Movement, and, most potent of all, the Jewish Idea sowed
through the minds of workingmen. What Idea? The idea of "get" instead of
"make."
The idea of "get" is a vicious, anti-social and destructive idea when held
alone; but when held in company with "make" and as second in importance, it
is legitimate and constructive. As soon as a man or a class is inoculated
with the strictly Jewish idea of "getting" -- ("getting mine"; "getting
while the getting is good"; honestly if you can, dishonestly if you must --
but get it" -- all of which are notes of this treasonable philosophy), the
very cement of Duncan society loses its adhesiveness and begins to crumble.
The great myth and fiction of Money has been forced into the place of real
things, and the second step of the drama can thus be opened up.
Jewish influence on the thought of the working-men of the United States,
as well as on the thought of business and professional men, has been bad,
thoroughly bad. This is not manifested in a division between "capital" and
"labor," for there are no such separate elements; there is only the
executive and operating departments of American business. The real division
is between the Jewish Idea of "get" and the Anglo-Saxon idea of "make," and
at the present time the Jewish idea has been successful enough to have
caused an upset.
All over the United States, in many branches of trade, Communist colleges
are maintained, officered and taught by Jews. These so-called colleges exist
in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Rochester, Pittsburgh, New York,
Philadelphia and other cities, the whole intent being to put all American
labor on a "get" basis, which must prove the economic damnation of the
country. That is the end sought, as in Russia.
Until Jews can show that the infiltration of foreign Jews and the Jewish
Idea into the American labor movement has made for the betterment in
character and estate, in citizenship and economic statesmanship, the charge
of being an alien, destructive and treasonable influence will have to stand.
The last place the uninstructed observer would look for traces of
Jewish influence is in the Christian Church, yet if he fails to look there
he will miss much. If the libraries of our theological seminaries were
equipped with complete files of Jewish literary effort during recent
decades, and if the theological students were required to read these Jewish
utterances there would be less silly talk and fewer "easy marks" for Jewish
propaganda in the American pulpit. For the next 25 years every theological
seminary should support a chair for the study of Modern Jewish influence and
the Protocols. The fiction, that the Jews are an Old Testament people
faithful to the Mosaic Law, would then be exploded, and timid Christians
would no longer superstitiously hesitate to speak the truth about them
because of that sadly misinterpreted text: "I will bless them that bless
thee, and curse him that curseth thee."
There is a mission for the pulpit to liberate the Church from what the New
Testament Scriptures call "the fear of the Jews." The pulpit has also the
mission of liberating the Church from the error that Judah and Israel are
synonymous. The reading of the Scriptures which confuse the tribe of Judah
with Israel, and which interpret every mention of Israel as signifying the
Jews, is at the root of more than one-half the confusion and division
traceable in Christian doctrinal statements.
The Jews are NOT "The Chosen People," though practically the entire Church
has succumbed to the propaganda which declares them to be so. The Jewish
tinge of thought has of late years overspread many Christian statements, and
the uninstructed clergy have proved more and more amenable to Jewish
suggestion.
The flaccid condition of the Church, so much deplored by spokesmen who had
regard for her inner life, was brought about not by "science," not by
"scholarship," not by the "increase of light and learning"-- for none of
these things are antagonistic even to incomplete statements of truth -- but
by Jewish-German Higher Criticism. The defenders of the faith have
fought long and valiantly against the inroads made by the so-called Higher
Criticism, but were sadly incapacitated in their defense, because they did
not see that its origin and purpose were Jewish. It was not Christian; it
was not German; it was Jewish.
It is perfectly in keeping with the Jewish World Program that this
destructive influence should be sent out under Jewish auspices, and it is
perfectly in keeping with non-Jewish trustfulness to accept the thing
without looking at its source. The Church is now victim of a second attack
against her, in the rampant Socialism and Sovietism that have been thrust
upon her in the name of flabby and unmoral theories of "brotherhood" and in
an appeal to her "fairness." The church has been made to believe that she is
a forum for discussion and not a high place for annunciation.
Jews have actually invaded, in person and in program, hundreds of American
churches, with their subversive and impossible social ideals, and at last
became so cocksure of their domination of the situation that they were met
with the inevitable check.
Clergymen ought to know that seven-eights of the economic mush they speak
from the pulpit is prepared by Jewish professors of political economy and
revolutionary leaders. They should be informed that economic thought has
been so completely Judaized by means of a deliberate and masterly plan of
camouflaged propaganda, that the mass-thought of the crowd (which is the
thought mostly echoed in "popular" pulpits and editorials) is more Jewish
than Jewry itself holds.
The Jew has got hold of the Church in doctrine, in liberalism, so-called,
and in the feverish and feeble sociological diversions of many classes. If
there is any place where a straight study of the Jewish Question should be
made it is in the modern Church which is unconsciously giving allegiance to
a mass of Jewish propaganda. It is not reaction that is counselled here; it
is progress along constructive paths, the paths of our forefathers, the
Anglo-Saxons, who have to this day been the World-Builders, the Makers of
cities and commerce and continents; and not the Jews who have never been
builders or pioneers, who have never peopled the wilderness, but who move in
upon the labors of other men. They are not to be blamed for not being
Builders or Pioneers, perhaps; they are to be blamed for claiming all the
rights of pioneers; but even then, perhaps, their blame ought not to be so
great as the blame that rests upon the sons of the Anglo-Saxons for
rejecting the straightforward Building of their fathers, and taking up with
the doubtful ideas of Judah.
Colleges are being constantly invaded by the Jewish Idea. The sons of
the Anglo-Saxons are being attacked in their very heredity. The sons of the
Builders, the Makers, are being subverted to the philosophy of the
destroyers. Young men in the first exhilarating months of intellectual
freedom are being seized with promissory doctrines, the source and
consequences of which they do not see. There is a natural rebelliousness of
youth, which promises progress; there is a natural venturesomeness to play
free with ancient faiths; both of which are ebullitions of the spirit and
significance of dawning mental virility. It is during the periods when these
adolescent expansions are in process that the youth is captured by
influences which deliberately lie in wait for him at the colleges. True, in
after years a large proportion come to their senses sufficiently to be able
"to sit on the fence and see themselves go by," and they come back to
sanity. They find that "freelove" doctrines make exhilarating club topics,
but that the Family -- the old-fashioned loyalty of one man and one woman to
each other and their children -- is the basis not only of society, but of
all personal character and progress. They find that Revolution, while a
delightful subject for fiery debates and an excellent stimulant to the
feeling of superman-likeness, is nevertheless not the process of progress.
The trouble with the colleges has progressed along precisely the same
lines that have been described in connection with the churches. First,
Jewish higher criticism in the destruction of young men's sense of respect
for the ancient foundations; second, Jewish revolutionary social doctrines.
The two always go together. They cannot live apart. They are the fulfillment
of the Protocol's program to split non-Jewish society by means of ideas.
It is idle to attack the "radicalism" of college student -- these are the
qualities of immaturity. But it is not idle to show that social radicalism
("radicalism" being a very good word very sadly misused) comes from a Jewish
source. The central group of Red philosophers in every university is a
Jewish group, with often enough a "Gentile front" in the shape of a deluded
professor. Some of these professors are in the pay of outside Red
organizations. There are Intercollegiate Socialist Societies, swarming
with Jews and Jewish influences, and toting Jewish professors around the
country, addressing fraternities under the patronage of the best civic and
university auspices. Student lecture courses are fine pasture for this
propaganda, the purpose being to give the students the thrill of believing
that they are taking part in the beginning of a new great movement,
comparable to the winning of Independence.
The revolutionary forces which head up in Jewry rely very heavily on the
respectability which is given their movement by the adhesion of students and
a few professors. It was so in Russia -- everyone knows what the name
"student" eventually came to signify in that country. The Jewish Chautauqua,
which works almost exclusively in colleges and universities, together with
Bolshevism in art, science, religion, economics and sociology, are driving
straight through the Anglo-Saxon traditions and landmarks of our race of
students. These are ably assisted by professors and clergymen whose thinking
has been dislocated and poisoned by Jewish subversive influences in theology
and sociology.
Simply identify the source and nature of the influence which has
overrun our schools and universities. Let the students know that their
choice is between the Anglo-Saxons and the Tribe of Judah. Let the students
decide, in making up their allegiance, whether they will follow the Builders
or those who seek to tear down. It is not a case for argument. The only
absolute antidote to the Jewish influence is to call college students back
to a pride of race.
We often speak of the Fathers as if they were the few who happened to
affix their signatures to a great document which marked a new era of
liberty. The Fathers of our nation were the men of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic
race. The men who came from Europe with civilization in their blood and in
their destiny. The men who crossed the Atlantic and set up civilization on a
bleak and rock-bound coast; the men who drove north to Alaska and west to
California; the men who opened up the tropics and subdued the arctics; the
men who mastered the African veldt; the men who peopled Australia and seized
the gates of the world at Suez, Gibraltar and Panama; men who have given
form to every government and a livelihood to every people and an ideal to
every century. They got neither their God nor their religion from Judah, nor
yet their speech nor their creative genius -- they are the Ruling People.
Chosen throughout the centuries to Master the world, by building it ever
better and better, and not by breaking it down.
Into the camp of this race, among the sons of the rulers, comes a people
that has no civilization to point to, no aspiring religion, no universal
speech, no great achievement in any realm but the realm of "get," cast out
of every land that gave them hospitality, and these people endeavor to tell
the Sons of the Saxons what is needed to make the world what it ought to be!
If our sons follow this counsel of dark rebellion and destruction, it is
because they do not know whose sons they are, of what race they are the
scions. Let there be free speech to the limit in our universities and free
intercourse of ideas, but let Jewish thoughts be labeled Jewish, and let our
sons know the racial secret.
The warning has already gone out through the colleges. The system of
Jewish procedure is already fully known. How simple it is! First, you
secularize the public schools -- "secularize" is the precise word the Jews
use for the process. You prepare the mind of the public school child by
enforcing the rule that no mention shall ever be made to indicate that
culture or patriotism is in any way connected with the deeper principles of
the Anglo-Saxon religion. Keep it out, every sight and sound of it! Keep out
also every word that will aid any child to identify the Jewish race. Then,
when you have thus prepared the soil, you can go into the universities and
colleges and enter upon the double program of pouring contempt on all the
AngloSaxon landmarks, at the same time filling the void with Jewish
revolutionary ideas.
The influence of the common people is driven out of the schools, where
common people's influence can go; but Jewish influence is allowed to run
rampant in the higher institutions where the common people's influence
cannot go. Secularize the schools, and you can then Judaize the
universities.
This is the "liberalism" which Jewish spokesmen so much applaud. In labor
unions, in churches, in universities, it has tainted the principles of work,
faith and society. The proof of it is written thickly over all Jewish
activities and utterances. It is in exerting these very influences that
Jewry convinces itself that it is fulfilling its "mission" to the world.
The capitalism attacked is non-Jewish capitalism; the orthodoxy attacked
is Christian orthodoxy; the society attacked is the Anglo-Saxon form of
society; all of which by their destruction would redound to the glory of
Judaism.
The list could be extended -- the influence of the Jewish idea on
Anglo-Saxon sports and pleasure, on the Anglo-Saxon idea of patriotism, on
the Anglo-Saxon conception of the learned professions; the influence of the
Jewish idea runs down through every department of life.
"Well," one very badly deluded American editor, wrapped up in Jewish
advertising contracts, was heard to say, "if the Jews can get away with it,
then they have a right to." It is a variant of the "answer" of Jewish
origin, which runs thus: "How can a paltry 3 million run the 100 million of
the rest of us? Nonsense!"
Yes, let it be agreed; if the Jewish idea is the stronger, if the Jewish
ability is the greater, let them conquer; let Anglo-Saxon principles and
power go down in ruins before the Tribe of Judah. But first let the two
ideas struggle under their own banners; let it be a fair struggle.
It is not a fair fight when in the movies, in the schools, in the Judaized
churches, in the universities, the Anglo-Saxon idea is kept away from the
Anglo-Saxons on the plea that it is "sectarian" or "clannish" or "obsolete"
or something else, say, reaction.
It is not a fair fight when Jewish ideas are offered as AngloSaxon ideas,
because offered under Anglo-Saxon auspices. Let the heritage of our
Anglo-Saxon fathers have free course among their Anglo-Saxon sons, and the
Jewish idea can never triumph over it, in the university forum or in the
marts of trade. The Jewish idea never triumphs until first the people over
whom it triumphs are denied the nurture of their native culture.
Judah has begun the struggle. Judah has made the invasion. Let it come.
Let no man fear it. But let every a man insist that the fight be fair. Let
college students and leaders of thought know that the objective is the
regnancy of the ideas and the race that have built all the civilization we
see and that promises all the civilization of the future; let them also know
that the attacking force is Jewish.
That is all that will be necessary. It is against this that the Jews
protest. "You must not identify us," they say, "You must not use the term
'Jew'." Why? Because unless the Jewish idea can creep in under the
assumption of other than Jewish origin, it is doomed. Anglo-Saxon ideas dare
proclaim themselves and their origin. A proper proclamation is all that is
necessary today. Compel every invading idea to run up its flag!
The Fourth Protocol [all Protocols from: Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion]--
"It is for this reason that we must undermine faith, eradicate from the minds of the Gentiles the very principles of God and Soul, and replace these conceptions by mathematical calculations and material desires."
From the earliest record of the Jews' contact with other nations, no
long period of years has ever passed without the charge arising that the
Jews constitute "a people within a people, a nation within a nation." When
this charge is made today it is vehemently denied by men who pose as the
defenders of their people, and the denial is more or less countenanced by
all the Jews of every class. Yet there is nothing more clearly stated in
Jewish teaching, nor more clearly indicated in Jewish life, than that the
charge is true. But whether the truth should be used against the Jews
is quite another question.
If the Jews are a nation, their nationality founded upon the double ground
of race and religion, it is certainly outside the bounds of reason that they
should be asked or expected to de-racialize, de-nationalize and de-religionize
themselves; but neither is it to be expected that they should bitterly
denounce those who state the facts. It is only on a basis of facts that a
solution of any problem can come. Where the blame attaches is here: that the
evident facts are denied, as if no one but the Jews themselves knew that
there are such facts.
If the Jews are to be continuously a nation, as they teach, and if the
condition of "a nation within a nation" becomes more and more intolerable,
then the solution must come through one of two things: a separation of the
"nation" from the rest of the nations, or an exaltation of the "nation"
above the rest of the nations. There is a mass of evidence in Jewish
writings that the leaders expect both of these conditions to come - a
separate nation and a super-nation; indeed the heart of Jewish
teaching is that Jewry is a separate nation now, and on the way to
becoming a super-nation. It is only those appointed to address the
Gentiles who deny this: the real rabbinate of Judah does not deny.
In any investigation of the Jewish Question, the student is struck over
and over again by the fact that what the Jews most complain of, they
themselves began. They complain of what they call anti-Semitism; but it must
be apparent to the dullest mind that there could never have been such a
thing as anti-Semitism were there not first such a thing as Semitism. Then
take the complaint about the Jews having to live in ghettos. The ghetto is a
Jewish invention. In the beginning of the invasion of European cities, and
centuries later of American cities, the Jews always lived by themselves
because they wanted to; because they believed the presence of Gentiles
contaminated them. Jewish writers, writing for Jews, freely admit this; but
in writing for Gentiles, they refer to the ghetto as an illustration of
Gentile cruelty. The idea of contamination originated with the Jews, it is
an old oriental survival; it spread by suggestion to the Gentiles. So with
this fact of the separate "nation"; it was the Jews who first recognized it,
first insisted upon it and have always sought to realize that separateness
both in thought and action.
More, the true and normal type of Jew believes that the influence of
Americanism, or of any civilized Gentile state, is harmful to Judaism. That
is a serious statement and no amount of Gentile assertion will be sufficient
to confirm it. Indeed, it is such a statement as the Gentile mind could not
have evolved, because the trend of Gentile feeling is all in the opposite
direction, namely that Americanization is a good thing for the Jew. It is
from authoritative Jewish sources we learn this fact, that what we call
civilizing influences are looked upon as being at enmity with Judaism. It is
not the Gentile who says that Jewish ideals, as ideals, are incompatible
with the life of our country; it is the Jew who says so. It is he who
inveighs against Americanism, not the American who inveighs against Judaism.
Americanism is yet unfinished, Judaism has been complete for centuries.
While no American would think of pointing to any part of the country or to
any group as representing the true and final type of Americanism, the Jews
quite unhesitatingly point to parts of the world and to certain groups as
representing the true type of Judaism.
Where is the type to be found which Jewish writers recognize as the true
one? The Jew of the ghetto is held up in Jewish treatises as the norm of
Judaism. A famous rabbi of the synagogue of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews,
on Central Park, New York, was Dr. D. de Sola Pool. He is the author of the
following words:
"In the ghetto the observance of Judaism was natural and almost inevitable. The regimen of Jewish life was the atmosphere that was breathed."
Another famous Jewish rabbi, Dr. M. H. Segal, expresses the view that Jewry in the more modern portions of Europe and America was really kept alive by the infusions of immigrants from Poland and Lithuania. Asserting, in agreement with other Jewish leaders, that the Jewish center of the world had been in Russia and Poland until just before the 1914 war, Dr. Segal says:
"The war (1914-1918) has destroyed the last traces of the declining Jewish society which had dragged out its feeble existence in the semi-medieval ghettos of Poland and Lithuania. With all their growing feebleness, these communities were yet the last refuge of Judaism in the Dispersion. In them there still survived something of the old Jewish life, some of the old Jewish institutions, practices and traditions. These communities also supplied such vitality as they could afford to the attenuated and atrophied Judaism in the communities of the more modern states of Europe and America."
The idea is not at all uncommon - that large infusions of "real Jews"
from the Old World ghettos are desirable and necessary in order to keep
Judaism alive in countries like the United States. Israel Friedlaender whose
name is held in honor by the Jews, also recognized the service of the ghetto
stream to Judaism. In his lecture, "The Problem of Judaism in America," he
speaks about the de-Judaizing tendencies of absolute freedom, such as the
Jew has always enjoyed in the United States. This tendency, he says, is
corrected in two ways - by anti-Semitic influences and "by the large stream
of Jewish emigration, on the other hand, which, proceeding from the lands of
oppression to the lands of freedom, carries with it, on or under the
surface, the preserving and reviving influences of the ghetto." This same
authority, in an article entitled "The Americanization of the Jewish
Immigrant," frankly prefers the Jew fresh from the ghetto to the Jew who has
been influenced by American life.
To "Americanize" means, in our ordinary speech, to bring into sympathy
with the traditions and institutions of the United States, but the Jews do
not mean only the United States when they say "America." They mean also
South and Central America - where so many revolutions have occurred. There
are large numbers of Jews in Argentina, and many are found in other
countries. It would probably give a wrong slant to the fact to say that the
Jewish leaders are wholly anti-America, but it is true to say that they are
against the "Americanization" of the Jewish immigrant stream. That is, that
the trend of "Americanism" is so different from the trend of "Judaism" that
the two are in conflict. This does not indicate treason toward American
nationalisms perhaps, so much as it indicates loyalty toward Jewish
nationalism. But the reader must himself be the judge, on the facts given in
this book, as to how far the difference really goes and the effect of the
struggle between the two ideas. The fact of the antagonism which exists
between the two is clear and complete. The Gentiles do not notice that
antagonism, but the Jews are always and everywhere keenly aware of it. This
throws a very strong light on all the revolutionary programs to break up the
present control of society, by sowing dissensions between so-called capital
and labor, by cheapening the dignity of government through corrupt politics,
by trivializing the mind of the people through theaters and movies, but it
is in the study of Jewish money-making out of war that the clues are found
to most of the great abuses of which the Jews have been guilty. "Wars are
the Jews' harvests," is an ancient saying. Their predilection for the
quartermaster's department has been observed anciently and modernly. Their
interest being mostly in profits and not in national issues; their
traditional loyalty being to the Jewish nation, rather than to any other
nation; it is natural that they should be found to be the merchants of goods
and information in times of war - that is, the war profiteers and spies. As
the unbroken program is traced through the Revolutionary War, through the
Civil War, and through the Great War*, the only change observable is the
increasing power and profit of the Jews. Although the number of Jews
resident in the American colonies was small, there were enough to make a
mark on the Revolutionary War; and while there was no wholesale legislation
against Jews as there was in the Civil War, there were the same actions
against individuals for the same causes which in 1861-5 obtained more
extensively.
No intelligent Jew in the United States ever was asinine enough to
declare that the Jewish Question is a religious question and that
investigation of that question in these articles constituted "religious
persecution." But it is apparently all that remains for the "Gentile fronts"
to shout about. From what can be learned of them they are for the
most part men of no religion themselves and they use the term "religious
persecution" as a red rag which they think will stir people into action. It
is curious how the cry of "religious persecution" is used to evoke the
spirit of persecution against the alleged persecutors.
Neither directly nor by implication is it held in these articles that the
Jewish Question is a religious question. On the contrary, supported by the
highest Jewish authorities, it is firmly stated that the Jewish Question is
one of race and nationality.
There is no religious persecution of the Jews in the United States, unless
the agitation of the various humane societies for the abolition of "kosher
killing" may be considered as such - the method of slaughtering animals for
food which is needlessly cruel. But even this objection can only with
difficulty be stretched into interference with "the religion of the Jews."
The Jewish method of slaughter as now practiced is not commanded in the Old
Testament but in the Talmud, and is, therefore, not religious in the
authoritative sense, but traditional. Moreover, there is positive evidence
that modern methods achieve the Jewish purpose (the disposal of the blood of
the carcass) much better than does the Jewish method. This is the only
instance where even remotely the religion of the Jews has been touched.
The fact is that while there is no "religious persecution" of the Jews,
there is very much real religious persecution by the Jews. That is
one of the outstanding characteristics of organized Jewish life in the
United States, its active, unceasing, powerful and virulent attacks upon any
and all forms of Christianity which may chance to come to public notice. Now
and again we hear of outbreaks of sectarian bigotry between Catholics and
Protestants, but these are not to be compared with the steady, relentless,
alert, anti-Christian activity of the Jewish organizations. There are
doctrinal disputes within the Christian Churches, but none that challenge
the basis of Christianity itself; organized Judaism, however, is not content
with doctrinal disputation, but enlists its vast commercial and political
power against everything that it regards as, in its own words,
"Christological manifestations."
No President of the United States has yet dared to take his inaugural oath
on the open pages of the New Testament - the Jews would denounce him.
Various governors of American states, having used the word "Christian" in
their Thanksgiving proclamations, have been obliged to teach Americanism in
our cities because it held that Christianity and good citizenship were
synonymous!
No public man in America has ever given public evidence of his Christian
faith without rebuke from the Jews. Not only do the Jews disagree
with Christian teaching - which is their right and no one questions it - but
they excise it on demand of the Jews. Everything that would remind the child
in school that he is living in the midst of a Christian civilization, in a
nation declared by its Supreme Court to be founded on the Christian
principles, has been ordered out of the public schools on Jewish demand. In
a nation and at a time when a minority of Jews can print every year a record
of the apologies they have extorted from public officials for "having
inadvertently used the term 'Christian'," it is desirable that this charge
of "religious persecution" should be placed where it belongs.
The Jew glories in religious persecution as the American glories in
patriotism. Religious prejudice is the Jews' chief expression of their own
patriotism. It is the only well-organized, active and successful form of
religious prejudice in the country because they have succeeded in pulling
off the gigantic trick of making not their own attitude, but any
opposition to it, bear the stigma of "prejudice" and "persecution." That
is why the Jew uses these terms so frequently. He wants to label the other
fellow first. That is why any investigation of the Jewish Question is so
wickedly advertised as anti-Semitism - the Jew knows the advantage of
labeling the other man.
This theme "religious persecution," will not be found anywhere within the
whole range of the Jewish Question, except on the Jewish side. There is, in
the United States, a religious prejudice, but it is strictly Yiddish. If the
Christian population bothered one-hundredth-thousandth part as much about
Jewish religion as the Jews bother about Christian observances, the whole
fabric of Talmudic teaching would be consumed in the bright light to which
general attention would bring it, the bright light from which it has always
been concealed. Sheer analysis in the interest of mental health would compel
the Jewish people to abandon the darkness which holds them now. Jewish
Talmudism owes its existence today to the indifference with which it is
regarded. This is the far opposite extreme of "religious persecution."
Religious prejudice is just as unpleasant to write about as it is to
experience in any other way. It is totally contrary to the genius of the
American and the Anglo-Saxon. We have always regarded religion as a matter
of conscience. To believe as he will is part of every man's fundamental
liberty. Holding these hereditary principles, one chooses to study that
active stream of influence in America which is known as the Jewish stream,
and immediately upon doing so, one finds himself classed with the bigots and
torturers of other times.
It is time to show that the cry of "bigot" is raised mostly by bigots.
There is a religious prejudice in this country, there is, indeed, a
religious persecution, there is a forcible shoving aside of the religious
liberties of a majority of the people, and this prejudice and persecution
and use of force is Jewish and nothing but Jewish.
A study of history and of contemporary Jewish journalism shows that Jewish
prejudice and persecution is a continuous phenomenon wherever the
Jews have obtained power, and that in neither action nor word has any
disability placed upon the Jew equalled the disabilities he has placed and
still contemplates placing upon non-Jews. There is no Christian church that
the Jews have not repeatedly attacked.
If there is in the world any extra-ecclesiastical undertaking by Catholics
which has won the undivided approval of the entire Christian world it is the
Passion Play of Oberammergau. Yet in a volume entitled "A Rabbi's
Impressions of the Oberammergau Passion Play," Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf,
of Philadelphia, has stigmatized that noble production as reeking with
falsehoods and vicious anti-Semitism. In the rabbi's eyes, of course, it is,
for to him the entire Christian tradition is a poisonous lie. The whole
fabric of Christian truth, especially as it concerns the person of Christ is
"the hallucinations of emotional men and hysterical women." "Thus," says the
rabbi, "was invented that cruel story, that has caused more misery, more
innocent suffering, than any other work of fiction in the range of the whole
world's literature."
And thus the simple peasants of Oberammergau, presenting the Catholic
faith in reverent pageant, are labeled anti-Semites.*
These are not isolated instances. When the Methodist Church put on the
great pageant entitled "The Wayfarer," Rabbi Stephen S. Wise
(American Zionist leader when this original was published, and one of the
most active political leaders of Zionist Jewry in the United Nations; Ed.)
played critic and made the solemn and silly statement that had he been a
South Sea Islander (instead of the itinerant platform performer which he is)
his first impulse, after seeing "the Wayfarer," would have been to
rush out into the street and kill at least three Jews. It says a great deal,
perhaps, for the channel in which Rabbi Wise's impulses run, but the tens of
thousands of Methodists who saw "The Wayfarer" will not be inclined
to attribute such a criticism to the spirit of tolerance which Rabbi Wise so
zealously counsels the Christians to observe.
The Episcopal Church also has felt the attack of the Jews. Recently (June,
1921: Ed.) the Jewish Press raised a clamor that the Episcopal Church was
not competent to seek to interfere with it. It is not religious
tolerance in the midst of religious difference, but religious attack that
they preach and practice. The whole record of the Jewish opposition to
Christmas, Easter and other Christian festivals, and their opposition to
certain patriotic songs, shows the venom and directness of that attack. One
parallel between the Protocols and the real hopes of the Jews is written in
the common Jewish prophecy that Christianity is doomed to perish. It
will perish, to all intents and purposes, by becoming Judaism.
Jewish intolerance today, yesterday and in every age of history where Jews
were able to exert influence or power, is indisputable except among people
who do not know the record. Jewish intolerance in the past is a matter of
history; for the future it is a matter of Jewish prophecy. One of the
strongest causes militating against the full Americanization of several
millions of Jews in this country is their belief - instilled in them by
their religious authorities - that they are "chosen," that this land is
theirs, that the inhabitants are idolators, that the day is coming when the
Jews will be supreme.
How can they otherwise act than in agreement with such declarations? The
supercilious attitude adopted by the Jews toward the stock that made America
is merely a foreshadowing of what would be the complete attitude if power
and influence made it possible. Bolshevism, which began with the destruction
of the class that contained all the promise of a better Russia, is an exact
parallel for the attitude that is adopted in this courts regarding the
original stock.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *It will be remembered that, in 1947, nearly 30 years after the above criticism was published, the American-controlled Allied War Tribunals, tried and punished as "war criminals" all the surviving villagers who were members of the Oberammergau Festival Players.
Louis D. Brandies, Justice if the Supreme Court of the United States --
"Let us all recognize that we Jews are a distinct nationality of which every Jew, whatever his country, his station, or shade of belief, is necessarily a member."
No Gentile knows how many Jews there are in the United States. The
figures are the exclusive property of the Jewish authorities. The government
of the United States can provide statistics on almost every matter
pertaining to the population of the country, but whenever it has attempted
in a systematic way to get information about the Jews who are constantly
entering the country, and the number now resident here, the Jewish lobby at
Washington steps in and stops it. The Jews conceal their strength because
Jewish influence at the Capitol has been strong enough to win on all matters
affecting Jewish interests, at all times.
Immigration into the United States became a business 40 years ago - a
strictly Jewish business. There is a perfect organization which overcomes
the numerous objections which arise against the admission of known
revolutionary Jews, European Jews are potential revolutionaries. America has
not been called "The Jews' Country" in the smaller nations of Europe for
nothing, and the alarming increase in Jewish immigration brings the question
to public attention again. A national conviction is forming upon the
subject, for it is apparent that the strictly Jewish business of getting
Jews into the United States moves like an army which, having done duty in
Europe for the subjugation of that continent, has transferred itself to
America. Jewish secret societies in America are the principal aides in this
long stampede to America. They are able to "arrange" the passport work, they
"arrange" avoidance of the health regulations. The laws of the country are
set aside in open contempt. The Jewish immigrants can come from anywhere and
are coming from anywhere; their first glimpse of life here shows a Jewish
control as potent and complete as it is in Russia. They see officials of
Jewish secret societies override officials of the United States Immigration
Bureau; why should they not behave as if they own the United States? No
wonder that they literally beat down the walls and gates with all the eclat
of a victorious invasion. It is an invasion, nothing less, and it is
inspired and helped by influences within the United States. When it
is not secret it is thinly cloaked with sentiment "these people are fleeing
from persecution."
After the tide of Jewish invasion into the United States; in the 1880's
became too wide for anyone to ignore the dangers, the census authorities
asked Congress for permission to classify people by "race" a well as by
"country of birth." The strongest opposition was led in Congress by the
Jews, principally by Simon Guggenheim and Julian WV. Mack. Hearings had to
be ordered to know what elements were comprising the population; whether the
United States was an Anglo-Saxon, Semitic, Latin nation, or what. The Jewish
opposition to the hearings disclosed four matters very clearly: (1) the Jew
is opposed to any restrictive legislation against his entrance into a
country; (2) the Jew is opposed to any racial classification of himself
after he has entered a country; (3) the Jewish argument to the Gentile
authorities is that the Jew represents religion and not race; (4) the Jew
has one view to present to the Gentiles, and another which he cherishes
among his own people, on this question of Race. When Americans disregarded
as untenable the argument of "religion, not race," the Jewish spokesmen were
able to fall hack on the fact that their powerful organizations did not want
certain things and would not have certain things - argument or no argument,
commission or no commission. The Jewish lobbyists had their way. There is no
enumeration of Jews in the United States. There are classifications for all
other races and nations, but none for the Jew. None of the other races made
objection, but the Jew is not distinguished at all. What is the result
today? If you ask the government of the United States how many Frenchmen
there are in the country, it can give you the figures. If you ask for the
number of Poles, it is there. If you ask for the number of Africans, it is
known. Down a long list you may make your inquiries, you will find that the
government knows. But ask the government of the United States how many Jews
are in the country - and it cannot tell; there are no records.
What have the Jews themselves to say about "race or religion?" The
following quotations put the reader in possession of information regarding
the Jew's own thought of himself as a member of a separate people,
quite aside from the consideration of his religion.
Leo N. Levi, President of B'nai B'rith, 1900-1904:
"The distinctive character of the Jew does not arise solely from his religion. It is true that his race and religion are indissolubly connected, but whatever be the cause of this junction of the race idea with the religion, it is very certain that the religion alone does not constitute the people. A believer in the Jewish faith does not by reason of that fact become a Jew. On the other hand, however, a Jew by birth remains a Jew, even though he abjures his religion."
Graetz, the historian of the Jews, whose monumental work is one of the standard authorities, says that the history of the Jews, even since they lost the Jewish State,
"still possesses a national character; it is by no means merely a creed or church history."
Moses Hess, one of the historic figures through whom the whole Jewish Program has flowed down from its ancient sources to its modern agents, wrote a book entitled "Rome and Jerusalem" in which he stated the whole matter with clearness and force:
"The Jews are something more than mere 'followers of a religion,' namely, they are a race, a brotherhood, a nation." (p. 71).
"A Jew belongs to his race and consequently also to Judaism, in spite of the fact that he or his ancestors have become apostates." (pp. 97-98).
"Every Jew is, whether he likes it or not, solidly united with the entire nation." (p. 163).
"Jewish religion is, above all, Jewish patriotism." (p. 61).
Louis D. Brandeis, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States and world leader of the Zionist movement, wrote in his book "Zionism and the American Jews," -
"Despite the meditations of pundits or the decrees of councils, our own instinct and acts, and those of others, have defined for us the term 'Jew'."
Rabbi Morris Joseph, sometime of the West London Synagogue of British Jews, writes in his book "Israel a Nation," -
"Israel is assuredly a great nation . . . Israel is recognized as a nation by those who see it; no one could possibly mistake it for a sect. To deny Jewish nationality you must deny the existence of the Jew."
The Jewish barrister, Bertram B. Benas, writes in "Zionism - the National Jewish Movement," --
"The Jewish entity is essentially the entity of a People."
Leon Simon, a brilliant and impressive Jewish scholar and writer, makes an important study of the question of "religion and nationality," in his volume, "Studies in Jewish Nationalism." He makes out a case for the proposition that the religion of the Jews is Nationalism, and that Nationalism is an integral part of their religion:
"The Messianic Age means for the Jew not merely the establishment of peace on earth and good will to men, but the universal recognition of the Jew and his God (p. 14).
"Judaism has no message of salvation for the individual soul, as Christianity has; all its ideas are bound up with the existence of the Jewish nation." (p. 20).
"The idea that Jews are a religious sect, precisely parallel to Catholics and Protestants, is nonsense." (p. 34).
Arthur D. Lewis, a Jewish writer, in his "The Jews a Nation," also bases nationality on the racial element:
"The Jews were originally a nation, and have retained more than most nations one of the elements of nationality - namely, the race element; this may be proved, of course, by the common-sense test of their distinguishability. You can more easily see that a Jew is a Jew than that an Englishman is an Englishman."
The idea that the Jews comprise a nation is the most common idea of all
- among Jews. Not only a nation with a past, but a nation with a future.
More than that - not only a nation, but a Super-Nation. We can go still
further on the authority of Jewish statements: we can say that the future
form of the Jewish Nation will be a kingdom.
Elkan N. Adler says:
"No serious politician today doubts that our people have a political future."
This future political definiteness and power was in the mind of Moses Hess when he wrote in 1862 - mark the date! - in the preface of his "Rome and Jerusalem," these words:
"No nation can be indifferent to the fact that in the coming European struggle for liberty, if may have another people as its friend or foe."
Hess, complaining of the inequalities visited upon the Jews, was saying
that what the individual Jew could not get because he was a Jew, the Jewish
Nation would be able to get because it would be a nation. He warns the
Gentile nations to be careful, because in that "coming struggle" there would
be another nation in the list, the Jewish Nation, which could be the friend
or foe of any it chose.
Dr. Israel Friedlaender says:
"It is enough for us to know that the Jews have always felt themselves as a separate race, sharply marked off from the rest of mankind."
As to the problems of the Jewish Nation, there is plenty of Jewish testimony to the fact that the influence of Americanism is harmful to Jewish life; that is, they are in antagonism, like two opposite ideas. And that Zionism is the modern rallying point for Jewish nationalism. The actual beliefs of the most active and influential part of Jewry in America are demonstrated in a work published by the Zionist Organization of America, "Guide to Zionism,"
"The name of their national religion, Judaism, is derived from their national designation. An unreligous Jew is still a Jew, and he can with difficulty escape his allegiance only by repudiating the name of Jew." (p. 5).
Jewry nowhere subscribes in the persons of its greatest teachers and
its most authoritative representatives to the theory that the Jew is only "a
brother of the faith." Often he is not of the faith at all, but he is still
a Jew. The "religion, not race" argument exposes the double minds of those
political leaders who, instead of straightforwardly meeting the Jewish
Question, endeavor to turn all inquiry aside by an impressive confusion of
the Gentile mind.
There are two Jewish Programs in the world - one which it is
intended the Gentiles should see, and one which is exclusively for the Jews.
In determining which is the real program, it is a safe course to adopt the
one that is made to succeed. It is the program sponsored by the so called
Zionists which is succeeding. That is the program whose sponsors stand for
the racial and national separateness of the Jews.
Regardless of what may be said to the Gentiles for the purpose of
hindering or modifying their action, there is no question of what the Jew
thinks of himself: he thinks of himself as belonging to a People, united to
that people by ties of blood which no amount of credal change can weaken,
heir of that People's past and agent of that People's political future. He
belongs to a race; he belongs to a nation. He seeks a kingdom to come on
this earth, a kingdom which shall be over all kingdoms, with Jerusalem the
ruling city of the world. That desire of the Jewish nation may be fulfilled;
and the relationships between Jewish nationalism and the nationalism of the
peoples among whom the Jews dwell are pointers to the potential victory.
To these exposures of the "religion, not race," arguments, the Jews
have complained that they are being misrepresented. It is their usual
complaint. They are always being "misrepresented" and "persecuted" except
when they are being praised for what they are not. If the Jews were fully
understood by the Gentiles, if the Christian churches, for example, were
freed from their delusion that the Jews are Old Testament people, and if the
churches really knew what Talmudic religion is, the "misrepresentation"
would be still stronger.
The downfall of Russia was prepared by a long and deliberate program of
misrepresentation of the Russian people, through the Jewish world press and
Jewish diplomatic service. The name of Poland has been drawn (December,
1920: Ed.) in filth through the press of the United States under Jewish
instigation; a vilification of Poland whose sole crime was that she wished
to save herself from the Jews. But whenever a hand has been raised to
prevent the Jews overrunning the people and secretly securing the control of
the major instruments of life, the Jews have raised the cry of
"misrepresentation." They never meet the question outright. False denials,
pleas for sympathy, and a base campaign for smearing others with their own
crimes, and an unworthy attempt to link others with them in their fall,
constitute their whole method of defense.* And a concentration of all the
political, economic, legal weapons at their command are flung at the head of
the outspoken critic of the Jew who persists in defending his right to
national existence free from Jewish infiltration, influence and control.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *Since the publication of the original, over 37 years ago, other nations have resisted, or tried to resist, Jewish control. Readers will appreciate what has since happened to Germany, and why; and what is now happening to Britain, and why.
The policy of "misrepresentation" succeeds because there is a feeling
strongly entrenched in Gentiles that somehow the Jews are the "chosen
people," and that it is dangerous to oppose them in anything; whoever
opposes the Jew is damned. "The fear of the Jews" is a very real element in
life. It is just as real among the Jews as among non-Jews. The Jew himself
is bound in fear to his people, and he exercises the fear of the curse
throughout the sphere of religion - "I will curse them that curse thee." It
remains to be proved, however, that opposition to the destructive tendencies
of Jewish influences all along the principal avenues of life is a "cursing"
of the Jews.
If the Jews were really Old Testament people (which they are not), if they
were really conscious of a "mission" for the blessing of all the nations,
the very things in which they offend would automatically disappear. If the
Jew is being "attacked" it is not because he is a Jew but because he is the
source and life of certain tendencies and influences which, if they are not
checked, mean the destruction of moral society. The only real
misrepresentation in society is regarded as the Jews' privilege.
Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield and Prime Minister of Great
Britain, was a Jew and gloried in it. He wrote many books, in a number of
which he discussed his people in an effort to set them in a proper light.
The British Government was not then so Jewish as it has since become, and
Disraeli was easily one of the greatest figures in it. In his book, "Coningsby,"
there appears a Jewish character named Sidonia, in whose personality and
through whose utterances, Disraeli sought to present the Jew as he would
like the world to see him.
Yet here is the International Jew, full dress; he is the Protocolist, too,
wrapped in mystery, a man whose fingers sweep all the strings of human
motive, and who controls the chief of the brutal forces - money.
If a non-Jew had written a Sidonia, so truthfully showing the racial
history and characteristics of the Jews, he would have been subjected to
that terrific pressure which the Jews apply to every truth teller about
themselves.
Disraeli caused his Jewish hero, Sidonia, to remark: "The world is
governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are
not behind the scenes," and even more illuminating lines by Disraeli
which half compel the thought that, after all, he was writing to warn the
world of Jewish ambition for power:
"You never observe a great intellectual movement in Europe in which the Jews do not greatly participate. The first Jesuits were Jews. That mysterious Russian Diplomacy which so alarms western Europe is organized and principally carried on by Jews. That mighty revolution which is at this moment preparing in Germany, and which will be, in fact, a second and greater Reformation, and of which so little is yet known in England, is entirely developing under the auspices of Jews."
Just how the Jews work to break down the established order of things, by means of ideas, as the Protocols claim, is shown in a conversation of Sidonia:
"The Tories lose an important election at a critical moment; 'tis the Jews come forward to vote against them. The Church is alarmed at the scheme of a latitudinarian university, and learns with relief that funds are not forthcoming for its establishment; a Jew immediately advances and endows it."
If these words had been written by a non-Jew, the cry of
"anti-Semitism" would ring through the land. Yet Sidonia adds: "And every
generation they (the Jews) must become more powerful and dangerous to the
society that is hostile to them."
"Latitudinarianism" is the doctrine of the Protocols in a word. It is the
break-up by means of a welter of so-called "liberal" ideas which construct
nothing themselves, but have the power to destroy the established order.
Several generations have passed since Disraeli's words were written. The
Jew still regards every form of non-Jewish society as hostile to him. They
have become more powerful and more dangerous. Those who would measure the
danger - look around !
The Jew says that the Protocols are inventions. Is Benjamin Disraeli an
invention? Was this Jewish Prime Minister of Great Britain misrepresenting
his people? He showed that in Russia, the very country where the Jews of his
time complained they were least free, the Jews were in control. He showed
that the Jews knew the technique of revolution, foretelling in his book the
revolution that shortly broke out in Germany. How did he foreknow it?
Because that revolution was developing under the auspices of Jews, and,
though it was then true that "so little is yet known in England," Disraeli
the Jew knew it, and knew it to be Jewish in origin and development and
purpose. One point is clear; Disraeli told the truth. He presented his
people before the world with correctness. He described Jewish power, Jewish
purpose and Jewish method with a certainty of touch that betokens more than
knowledge - he shows racial sympathy and understanding. Why did he do it?
Disraeli the flamboyant, most oriental of courtiers and suave of
politicians, with a keen financial ability. Was it that typically racial
boastfulness, that dangerous, aggressive conceit in which the Jew gives up
most of his secrets? No matter; he is the one man who told the truth about
the Jews without being accused of "misrepresenting" the Jews.
The Fifth Protocol --
"We will so wear out and exhaust the Gentiles by all this that they will be compelled to offer us an international authority, which by its position will enable us to absorb without disturbance all the governmental forces of the world and thus form a super-government."We must so direct the education of Gentile society that its hands will drop in the weakness of discouragement in the face of any undertaking where initiative is needed."
Theodor Herzl, one of the greatest of the Jews and founder of modern
Zionism, was perhaps the farthest-seeing public exponent of the philosophy
of Jewish existence that modern generations have known. He was never in
doubt of the existence of the Jewish nation. He proclaimed its existence on
every occasion. He said, "We are a people - One people."
He clearly saw that what he called the Jewish Question was political. In
his introduction to "The Jewish State" he says:
"I believe that I understand anti-Semitism, which is really a highly
complex movement. I consider it from a Jewish standpoint, yet without fear
or hatred. I believe that I can see what elements there are in it of vulgar
sport, of common trade jealousy, of inherited prejudice, of religious
intolerance and also of pretended defense. I think the Jewish Question is no
more a social than a religious one, notwithstanding that it sometimes takes
these and other forms. It is a national question, which can only be
solved by making it a political world-question to be discussed and
controlled by the civilized nations of the world in council."
Not only did Herzl declare that the Jews formed a nation, but in relating
the action of this Jewish nation to the world Herzl wrote:
"When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate
officers of the revolutionary party; when we rise, there rises also our
terrible power of the purse."
This view, which appears to be the true view in that it is the view which
has been longest sustained in Jewish thought, is brought out also by Lord
Eustace Percy, and re-published, apparently with approval, by the Canadian
"Jewish Chronicle." It will repay careful reading.
"Liberalism and Nationalism, with a flourish of trumpets, threw open the
doors of the ghetto and offered equal citizenship to the Jew. The Jew passed
out into the Western World, saw the power and the glory of it, used it and
enjoyed it, laid his hand indeed upon the nerve centers of its civilization,
guided, directed and exploited it, and then - refused the offer . . .
Moreover - and this is a remarkable thing - the Europe of nationalism and
liberalism, of scientific government and democratic equality is more
intolerable to him than the old oppressions and persecutions of despotism .
. .
"In a world of completely organized territorial sovereignties he (the Jew)
has only two possible cities of refuge: he must either pull down the pillars
of the whole national state system or he must create a territorial
sovereignty of his own. In this perhaps lies the explanation both of Jewish
Bolshevism and of Zionism, for at this moment Eastern Jewry seems to hover
uncertainly between the two. In Eastern Europe Bolshevism and Zionism often
seem to grow side by side, just as Jewish influence molded Republican and
Socialist thought throughout the nineteenth century, down to the Young Turk
revolution in Constantinople hardly more than a decade ago - not because the
Jew cares for the positive side of radical philosophy, not because he
desires to be a partaker in Gentile nationalism or Gentile democracy, but
because no existing Gentile system of government is ever anything but
distasteful to him."
All that is true, and Jewish thinkers of the more fearless type always
recognize it as true. The Jew is against the Gentile scheme of things.
He is, when he gives his tendencies full sway, a Republican as against
the monarchy, a Socialist as against the republic, and a Bolshevist as
against socialism.
What are the causes of this disruptive activity? First, his essential lack
of democracy. Jewish nature is autocratic. Democracy is all right for the
rest of the world, but the Jew wherever he is found forms an aristocracy of
one sort or another. Democracy is merely a tool of a word which Jewish
agitators use to raise themselves to the ordinary level in places where they
are oppressed below it; but having reached the common level they immediately
make efforts for special privileges, as being entitled to them - a process
which the late Peace Conference (Versailles: Ed.) will remain the most
startling example. The Jews today are the only people whose special and
extraordinary privileges are written into the world's Treaty of Peace.
(Original published in July, 1920: refer also to the present United Nations:
Editor).
In all the explanations of anti-Jewish feeling which modern Jewish
spokesmen make, these three alleged causes are commonly given - these three
and no more: religious prejudice, economic jealousy, social antipathy.
Whether the Jew knows it or not, every Gentile knows that on his side of the
Jewish Question no religious prejudice exists. Economic jealousy may exist,
at least to this extent, that his uniform success has exposed the Jew to
much scrutiny. The finances of the world are in control of Jews; their
decisions and their devices are themselves our economic law.
Economic jealousy may explain some of the anti-Jewish feeling; it cannot
account for the presence of the Jewish Question except as the hidden causes
of Jewish financial success may become a minor element of the larger
problem. And as for social antipathy - there are many more undesirable
Gentiles in the world than there are undesirable Jews, for the simple reason
that there are many more Gentiles.
None of the Jewish spokesmen mention the political cause, or if they come
within suggestive distance of it, they limit it and localize it. The
political element inheres in the fact that the Jews form a nation in the
midst of the nations. It is not the fact that the Jews remain a nation in
the midst of the nations; it is the USE made of that inescapable status,
which the world has found to be reprehensible. The nations have tried to
reduce the Jews to unity with themselves, but destiny seems to have marked
them out to continuous nationhood. Both the Jews and the World will have to
accept that fact. The Jewish world program, and the political basis of
anti-Jewish feeling which that program creates, is exposed by Jewish
cosmopolitanism with regard to the world, and by Jewish nationalistic
integrity with regard to themselves.
No one now pretends to deny, except a few spokesmen who really do not
rule the thought of the Jews but are set forth for the sole benefit of
influencing Gentile thought, that the socially and economically disruptive
elements abroad in the world today are not only manned but also monied by
Jewish interests.
For a long time this fact was held in suspense owing to the vigorous
denial of the Jews and the lack of information on the part of those agencies
of publicity to which the public looked for its information. But now the
facts are coming forth. Herzl's words are being proved to be true - "when we
sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of the
revolutionary party." These words were first published in English in 1896!
Just now these tendencies are working in two directions, one for the
tearing down of the Gentile states all over the world, the other for the
establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. The latter project engaged the
attention of the whole world. The Zionists make a great deal of noise about
Palestine, but it can scarcely be designated as more than an unusually
ambitious colonization scheme. The Jewish "home" idea so sedulously
cultivated is a very useful smokescreen for the confiscation of the
immeasurable sources of mineral and oil wealth. It is also serving as a very
useful public screen for the carrying on of secret activities.
International Jews, the controllers of the world's governmental and
financial power, may meet anywhere, at any time, in war or peace time, and
by giving out that they are only considering the ways and means of opening
up Palestine to the Jews, they easily escape the suspicion of being together
on any other business.
Though Jewish nationalism exists, its enshrinement in a state to be set up
in Palestine is not the project that is engaging the whole Jewish nation.
The Jews will not move into Palestine just yet; they will not move in at all
merely because of the Zionist movement. Quite another motive will be the
cause of the exodus out of the Gentile nations, when the time for that
exodus fully comes.
The world has long suspected - at first only a few, then the secret
departments of the governments, next the intellectuals among the people, now
more and more the common people themselves - that not only are the Jews a
nation distinct from all other nations and mysteriously unable to sink their
nationality by any means they or the world may adopt to this end, but that
they also constitute a STATE; that they are nationally conscious, not only,
but consciously united for a common defense for a common purpose. Revert to
Herzl's definition of the Jewish nation as held together by a common enemy,
and then reflect that this common enemy is the Gentile world! Does this
people which knows itself to be a nation remain loosely unorganized in the
face of that fact? It would hardly be like Jewish astuteness in other
fields! The interest of the Protocols is their bearing on the questions:
Have the Jews an organized world system ? What is its policy ? How is it
being worked?
These questions all receive full attention in the Protocols. Whosoever was
the mind that conceived them possessed a knowledge of human nature, of
history and of statecraft which is dazzling in its brilliant completeness,
and terrible in the objects to which it turns its powers. If, indeed, one
mind alone conceived them. It is too terribly real for fiction, too
well-sustained for speculation, too deep in its knowledge of the secret
springs of life for forgery. Jewish attacks upon it thus far make much of
the fact that it came out of Russia. That is hardly true. It came by way
of Russia.
The internal evidence makes it clear that the Protocols were not written
by a Russian, nor originally in the Russian language, nor under the
influence of Russian conditions, but they found their way to Russia and were
first published there about 1905 by a Professor Nilus, who attempted to
interpret the Protocols by events then going forward in Russia.
They have been found by diplomatic officers in manuscript in all parts of
the world. Wherever Jewish power is able to do so, it has suppressed them,
sometimes under the extreme penalty.
Their persistence is a fact which challenges the mind Sheer lies do not
live long, their power soon dies. The Protocols are more alive than ever.
They have penetrated higher places than ever before. They have compelled a
more Serious attitude to them than ever before. The Protocols are a World
Program - there is no doubt anywhere of that - whose program is stated
within the articles themselves. But as for outer confirmation, which would
be the more valuable - a signature, or six signatures, or twenty signatures,
or a 50-year unbroken line of effort fulfilling that program?
The point of interest for this and other countries is not that a "criminal
or a madman" conceived such a program but that, when conceived, this program
found means of getting itself fulfilled in its most important particulars.
The document is comparatively unimportant; the conditions to which it calls
attention are of a very high degree of importance.
The Fourteenth Protocol --
"When we become rulers we shall regard as undesirable the existence of any religion except our own, proclaiming One God with Whom our fate is tied as The Chosen People, and by Whom our fate has been made one with the fate of the world. For this reason we must destroy all other religions. If thereby should emerge contemporary atheists, then, as a transition step, this will not interfere with our aims.
The Fifth Protocol --
"A world coalition of Gentiles could cope with us temporarily, but we are assured against this by roots of dissension among them so deep that they cannot be torn out. We have created antagonism between the personal and national interests of the Gentiles by arousing religious and race hatreds which we have nourished in their hearts for twenty centuries. "
The documents most frequently mentioned by those who are interested in
the theory of Jewish World Power rather than in the actual operation of that
power in the world today, are those 24 documents known as "The Protocols of
the Learned Elders of Zion."
The Protocols have attracted much attention in Europe, having been the
center of an important storm of opinion in England, but discussion of them
in the United States has been limited.
Who it was that first entitled these documents with the name of the
"Elders of Zion" is not known. It would be possible without serious
mutilation of the documents to remove all hint of Jewish authorship, and yet
retain all the main points of the most comprehensive program for world
subjugation that has ever come to public knowledge.
Yet to eliminate all hint of Jewish authorship would be to bring out a
number of contradictions which do not exist in the Protocols in their
present form. The purpose of the plan revealed in the Protocols is to
undermine all authority in order that a new authority in the form of an
autocracy may be set up. Such a plan would not emanate from a ruling class
which already possessed authority, although it might emanate from
anarchists. But anarchists do not avow autocracy as the ultimate condition
they seek. The authors might be conceived as a company of French Subversives
such as existed at the time of the French Revolution and had the infamous
Duc d'Orleans as their leader, but this would involve a contradiction
between the fact that those Subversives have passed away, and the fact that
the program announced in these Protocols is being steadily carried out, not
only in France, but throughout Europe, and very noticeably in the United
States.
In their present form which bears evidence of being their original form,
there is no contradiction. The allegation of Jewish authorship seems
essential to the consistency of the plan.
If these documents were the forgeries which Jewish apologists claim them
to be, the forgers would probably have taken pains to make Jewish authorship
so clear that their anti-Semitic purpose could easily have been detected.
But only twice is the term "Jew" used in them. After one has read further
than the average reader usually cares to go into such matters, one comes
upon the plans for the establishment of the World Autocrat, and only then is
it made clear of what lineage he is to be.
But all through the documents there is left no doubt as to the people
against whom the plan is aimed. It is not aimed against aristocracy as such.
It is not aimed against capital as such. Very definite provisions are made
for the enlistment of aristocracy, capital and government for the execution
of the plan. It is aimed against the people of the world who are called
"Gentiles." It is the frequent mention of "Gentiles" that really decides the
purpose of the documents. Most of the destructive type of "liberal" plans
aim at the enlistment of the people as helpers; this plan aims at the
degeneration of the people in order that they may be reduced to confusion of
mind and thus manipulated. Popular movements of a "liberal" kind are to be
encouraged, all the disruptive philosophies in religion, economics, politics
and domestic life are to be sown and watered, for the purpose of so
disintegrating social solidarity and a definite plan, herein set forth, may
be put through without notice, and the people then molded to it when the
fallacy of these philosophies is shown.
The formula of speech is not, "We Jews will do this," but "The Gentiles
will be made to think and do these things." With the exception of a few
instances in the closing Protocols, the only distinctive racial term used is
"Gentiles."
To illustrate: the first indication of this kind comes in the First Protocol in this way:
"The great qualities of the people - honesty and frankness - are essentially vices in politics, because they dethrone more surely and more certainly than does the strongest enemy. These qualities are attributes of Gentile rule; we certainly must not be guided by them."
And again:
"On the ruins of the hereditary aristocracy of the Gentiles we have set up the aristocracy of our educated class, and over all the aristocracy of money. We have established the basis of this new aristocracy on the basis of riches, which we control, and on the science guided by our wise men."
Again:
"We will force up wages, which, however, will be of no benefit to workers, for we at the same time will cause a rise in prices of prime necessities, pretending that this is due to the decline of agriculture and of cattle raising. We will also artfully and deeply undermine the sources of production by instilling in the workmen ideas of anarchy, and encourage them in the use of alcohol, at the same time taking measures to drive all the intellectual forces of the Gentiles from the land."
(A forger with anti-Semitic malice might have written this any time within the last five years, but these words were in print as early as 1905, a copy having been in the British Museum since 1906, and they were circulated in Russia a number of years prior.) The above point continues:
"That the true situation shall not be noticed by the Gentiles prematurely, we will mask it by a pretended effort to serve the working classes and promote great economic principles, for which an active propaganda will be carried on through our economic theories"
These quotations will illustrate the style of the Protocols in making references to the parties involved. It is "we" for the writers, and "Gentiles" for those who are being written about. This is brought out very clearly in the Fourteenth Protocol:
"In this divergence between the Gentiles and ourselves in ability to think and reason is to be seen clearly the seal of our election as the chosen people, as higher human beings, in contrast with the Gentiles who have merely instinctive and animal minds. They observe, but they do not foresee, and they invent nothing (except perhaps material things). It is clear from this that nature herself predestined us to rule and guide the world."
This, of course, has been the Jewish method of dividing humanity from the earliest times. The world was only Jew and Gentile; all that was not Jew was Gentile. The use of the word Jew may be illustrated by this passage from the Eighth section:
"For the time being, until it will be safe to give responsible government positions to our brother Jews, we shall entrust them to people whose past and whose characters are such that there is an abyss between them and the people."
This is the practice known as using "Gentile fronts" which is
extensively practiced in the financial world today in order to cover up the
evidences of Jewish control. How much progress has been made since these
words were written is indicated by the party convention at San Francisco
when the name of Judge Brandeis was proposed for President. It is reasonably
to be expected that the public mind will be made more and more familiar with
the idea of Jewish occupancy - which will be really a short step from the
present degree of influence which the Jews exercise - of the highest office
in the government. There is no function of the American Presidency in which
the Jews have not already secretly assisted in a very important degree.
Actual occupancy of the office is not necessary to enhance their power, but
to promote certain things which parallel very closely the plans outlined in
the Protocols.
Another point which the reader of the Protocols will notice is that the
tone of exhortation is entirely absent from these documents. They are not
propaganda. They are not efforts to stimulate the ambitions or activity of
those to whom they are addressed. They are as cool as a legal paper and as
matter-of-fact as a table of statistics. There is none of the "Let us rise,
my brothers" stuff about them. There is no "Down with the Gentiles"
hysteria. These Protocols, if indeed they were made by Jews and confined to
Jews, or if they do contain principles of a Jewish World Program, were
certainly not intended for the firebrands but for the carefully prepared and
tested initiates of the higher groups.
Jewish apologists have asked, "Is it conceivable that if there were
such a world program on the part of the Jews, they would reduce it to
writing and publish it?" But there is no evidence that these Protocols were
ever uttered otherwise than in spoken words by those who put them
forth. The Protocols as we have them are apparently the notes of lectures
which were made by someone who heard them. Some of them are lengthy; some of
them are brief. The assertion which has always been made in connection with
the Protocols since they have become known is that they are the notes of
lectures delivered to Jewish students somewhere in France or Switzerland.
The attempt to make them appear to be of Russian origin is absolutely
forestalled by the point of view, the references to the times and certain
grammatical indications. The tone certainly fits the supposition that they
were originally lectures given to students, for their purpose is clearly
not to get a program accepted but to give information concerning a program
which is represented as being already in process of fulfillment. There
is no invitation to join forces or to offer opinions. Indeed it is
specifically announced that neither discussion nor opinions are desired.
("While preaching liberalism to the Gentiles, we shall hold our own people
and our own agents in unquestioning obedience." "The scheme of
administration must emanate from a single brain . . . Therefore, we may
know the plan of action, but we must not discuss it, lest we
destroy its unique character . . . The inspired work of our leader therefore
must not be thrown before a crowd to be torn to pieces, or even before a
limited group.")
Moreover, taking the Protocols at their face value, it is evident that the
program outlined in these lectures was not a new one at the time the
lectures were given. There is no evidence of its being of recent
arrangement. There is almost the tone of a tradition, or a religion, in it
all, as if it had been handed down from generation to generation through the
medium of specially trusted and initiated men. There is no note of new
discovery or fresh enthusiasm in it, but the certitude and calmness of facts
long known and policies long confirmed by experiment.
The point of age of the program is touched upon at least twice in the
Protocols themselves. In the First Protocol this paragraph appears:
"Already in ancient times we were the first to shout the words, 'Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,' among the people. These words have been repeated many times since by unconscious poll-parrots, flocking from all sides to this bait, with which they have ruined the - prosperity of the world and true personal freedom . . . The presumably clever and intelligent Gentiles did not understand the symbolism of the uttered words; did not observe their contradiction in meaning; did not notice that in nature there is no equality . . ."
The other reference to the program finality is found in the Thirteenth Protocol:
"Questions of policy, however, are permitted to no one except those who have originated the policy and have directed it for many centuries."
Can this be a reference to a secret Jewish Sanhedrin, self-perpetuating within a certain Jewish caste from generation to generation? Again, it must be said that the originators and directors here referred to cannot be at present any ruling caste, for all that the program contemplates is directly opposed to the interests of such a caste. It cannot refer to any national aristocratic group, like the Junkers of Germany, for the methods which are proposed are the very ones which would render powerless such a group. It cannot refer to any but a people who have no open government, who have everything to gain and nothing to lose, and who can keep themselves intact amid a crumbling world. There is only one group that answers that description.
The criticisms which these Protocols pass upon the Gentiles for their
stupidity are just. It is impossible to disagree with a single item in the
Protocol's description of Gentile mentality and venality. Even the most
astute of the Gentile thinkers have been fooled into receiving as the
motions of progress what has only been insinuated into the common human mind
by the most insidious systems of propaganda. It is true that here and there
a thinker has arisen to say that science so-called was not science at all.
It is true that here and there a thinker has arisen to say that the
so-called economic laws both of conservatives and radicals were not laws at
all, but artificial inventions. It is true that occasionally a keen observer
has asserted that the recent debauch of luxury and extravagance was not due
to the natural impulses of the people at all, but was systematically
stimulated, foisted upon them by design. It is true that a few have
discerned that more than half of what passes for "public opinion" is merely
hired applause and booing and has never impressed the public mind.
But even with these clues here and there, for the most part disregarded,
there has never been enough continuity and collaboration between those who
were awake, to follow all the clues to their source. The chief explanation
of the hold which the Protocols have had on many of the leading statesmen of
the world for several decades is that they explain whence all the false
influences come and what their purpose is. It is now time for the people to
know. Whether the Protocols are judged as proving anything concerning the
Jews or not, they constitute an education in the way the masses are turned
about like sheep by influences which they do not understand. It is certain
that once the principles of the Protocols are known widely and understood by
the people, the criticism which they now rightly make of the Gentile mind
will no longer hold good.
Is there likelihood of the program of the Protocols being carried
through to success? The program is successful already. In many of its most
important phases it is already a reality. But this need not cause alarm, for
the chief weapon to be used against such a program, both in its completed
and uncompleted parts, is clear publicity. Let the people know.
Arousing the people, alarming the people, appealing to the passions of
the people is the method of the plan outlined in the Protocols. The
antidote is merely ENLIGHTENING the people.
The Protocols are found upon analysis to contain four main divisions.
These are not marked in the structure of the documents but in the thought.
There is a fifth, if the object of it all is included, but this object is
assumed throughout the Protocols, being only here and there defined in
terms. And the four main divisions are great trunks from which there are
numerous branches.
There is first what is alleged to be the Jewish conception of human
nature, by which is meant Gentile nature. Secondly, there is the account of
what has already been accomplished in the realization of the program -
things already done. Thirdly, there is a complete instruction in the methods
to be used to get the program still further fulfilled. Fourth, the Protocols
contain in detail some of the achievements which, at the time these words
were uttered, were yet to be made. Some of these desired things have been
achieved in the meantime, for it should be borne in mind that between 1905
and the present time there have been set in motion many powerful influences
to attain certain ends. The achievement to be made was the break up of
Gentile solidarity and strength, expedited, of course, by the great wars in
Europe. The method expounded is one of disintegration. Break up the people
into parties and sects. Sow abroad the most promising and utopian of ideas
and you will do two things: you will always find a group to cling to each
idea you throw out; and you will find this partisanship dividing and
estranging the various groups. The authors of the Protocols show in detail
how this is to be done. Not one idea, but a mass of ideas are to be thrown
out, and there is to be no unity among them. The purpose is not to get the
people thinking one thing, but to think so diversely about so many different
things that there will be no unity among them. The result of this will be
vast disunity, vast unrest - and that is the result aimed at. When once the
solidarity of Gentile society is broken up - and the name "Gentile society"
is perfectly correct, for human society is overwhelmingly Gentile - then
this solid wedge of another idea which is not at all affected by the
prevailing confusion can make its way unsuspected to the place of control.
It is well enough known that a body of 20 trained police or soldiers can
accomplish more than a disordered mob of a thousand persons. So the minority
initiated into the plan can do more with a nation or a world broken into a
thousand antagonistic parties, than any of the parties could do. "Divide
and rule" is the motto of the Protocols.
Take for illustration these passages: *This from the First Protocol:
"Political freedom is an idea, not a fact. It is necessary to know how to apply this idea when there is need of a clever bait to gain the support of the people for one's party, if such a party has undertaken to defeat another party already in power. This task is made easier if the opponent has himself been infected by principles of freedom or so-called liberalism, and for the sake of the idea will yield some of his power."
Consider this from the Fifth Protocol:
"To obtain control over public opinion, it is first necessary to confuse it by the expression from various sides of so many conflicting opinions . . . this is the first secret. The second secret consists in so increasing and intensifying the shortcomings of the people in their habits, passions and mode of living that no one will be able to collect himself in the chaos, and, consequently, people will lose all their mutual understanding. This measure will serve us also in breeding disagreement in all parties, in disintegrating all those collective forces which are still unwilling to submit to us and in discouraging all personal initiative which can in any way interfere with our undertaking."
And this from the Thirteenth Protocol:
". . . and you may also notice that we seek approval, not for our acts, but for our words uttered in regard to one or another question. We always announce publicly that we are guided in all our measures by the hope and the conviction that we are serving the general good."
EDITOR'S NOTE: *These extracts illuminate the deceptions of the "world governments" such as the League of Nations, and United Nations, where smooth ideas and hard facts prove opposites.
Besides the things they look forward to doing, the Protocols announce
the things they are doing and have done. Looking about the world today it is
possible to see both the established conditions and the strong tendencies to
which the Protocols allude - the terrible completeness of the World Plan
which they disclose. A few general quotations will serve to illustrate the
element of present achievement in the assertions of these documents, and in
order that the point may be made clear to the reader the key words will be
emphasized.
Take this from Protocol Nine:
"In reality there are no obstacles before us. Our supergovernment has such an extra-legal status that it may be called by the energetic and strong word - dictatorship. I can conscientiously say that, at the present time, we are the lawmakers. We create courts and jurisprudence. We rule with a strong will because we hold in our hands the remains of a once strong party, now subjugated by us."
And this - from the Eighth Protocol:
These are strong claims, but not too strong for the facts that can be marshalled to illustrate them. They are, however, but an introduction to further claims that are made and equally paralleled by the facts. All through the Protocols, as in this quotation from the Eighth, the pre-eminence of the Jews in teaching political economy is insisted upon, and the facts bear that out. They are the chief authors of those vagaries which lead the mob after economic impossibilities, and they are also the chief teachers of political economy in our universities, the chief authors of those popular textbooks in the subject, which hold the conservative classes to the fiction that economic theories are economic laws. The idea, the theory, as instruments of social disintegration are common to both the university Jew and the Bolshevik Jew. When all this is shown in detail, public opinion upon the importance of academic and radical economics may undergo a change."We will surround our government with a whole world of economists. It is for this reason that the science of economics is the chief subject of instruction taught by the Jews. We shall be surrounded by a whole galaxy of bankers, industrialists, capitalists, and especially by millionaires because, actually, everything will be decided by an appeal to figures."
This from the Seventeenth Protocol will be of considerable interest, perhaps, to those clergymen who are laboring with Jewish rabbis to bring about some kind of religious union:
"We have taken good care long ago to discredit the Gentile clergy and thereby to destroy their mission, which at present might hamper us considerably. Their influence over the people diminishes daily. Freedom of conscience has been proclaimed everywhere. Consequently it is only a question of time when the complete crash of the Christian religion will occur."
A curious paragraph in this Protocol claims for the Jewish race a particular skill in the art of insult:
"Our contemporary Press will expose governmental and religious affairs and the incapacity of the Gentiles, always using expressions so derogatory as to approach insult, the faculty of employment which is so well known to our race."
And this from the Fifteenth Protocol:
"Under our influence the execution of the laws of the Gentiles is reduced to a minimum. Respect for the law is undermined by the liberal interpretation we have introduced in this sphere. The courts decide as we dictate, even in the most important cases in which are involved fundamental principles or political issues, viewing them in the light in which we present them to the Gentile administration through agents with whom we have apparently nothing in common, through newspaper opinion and other avenues."
Claims of control of the Press are numerous, here are emphatic statements from the Fourteenth Protocol:
"In countries called advanced, we have created a senseless, filthy and disgusting literature. For a short time after our entrance into power we shall encourage its existence so that it may show in greater relief the contrast between it and the written and spoken announcements which will emanate from us."
And in the Twelfth Protocol:
"We have attained this (Press control) at the present time to the extent that all news is received through several agencies in which it is centralized from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be to all intents and purposes our own institutions and will publish only that which we permit."
This from the Seventh Protocol bears on the same subject:
"We must force the Gentile governments to adopt measures which will promote our broadly conceived plan, already approaching its triumphant goal, by bringing to bear the pressure of stimulated public opinion, which has been organized by us with the help of the so-called 'great power' of the Press. With a few exceptions not worth considering, it is already in our hands."
To resume the Twelfth Protocol:
"If we have already managed to dominate the mind of Gentile society to such a point that almost all see world affairs through the colored lenses of the spectacles which we place before their eyes, and if now there is not one government with barriers erected against our access to that which by Gentile stupidity is called state secrets, what then will it be when we are the recognized masters of the world in the person of our universal ruler?"
The Jewish nation is the only nation that possess the secrets of all the rest. The fact that they can get whatever they want when they want it is the important point - as many a secret paper could testify if it could talk, and as many a custodian of secret papers could tell if he would. The real secret diplomacy of the world is that which hands over the world's so-called secrets to a few men who are members of one race; there is no government in the world so completely at their service as our own at present.
The Protocols do not regard the dispersal of the Jews abroad upon the
face of the earth as a calamity, but as a providential arrangement by which
the World Plan can be the more easily executed, as see these words of the
Eleventh Protocol.
"God gave us, His Chosen People, as a blessing, the dispersal, and this which has appeared to all to be our weakness has been our whole strength. It has now brought us to the threshold of universal rule."
The claims to accomplishment which are put forth in the Ninth Protocol would be too massive for words were they not too massive for concrete realization, but there is a point where the word and the actuality meet and tally:
Everyone knows that, in spite of the fact that the air was never as full of theories of liberty and wild declarations of "rights," there has been a steady curtailment of "personal freedom." Instead of being socialized, the people, under a cover of socialistic phrases, are being brought under an unaccustomed bondage to the state; laws of every kind are hedging upon the harmless liberties of the people. A steady tendency toward systematization, every phase of the tendency based upon some very learnedly stated "principle," has set in, and curiously enough, when the investigator pursues his way to the authoritative center of these movements for the regulation of the people's life, he finds Jews in power!"In order not to destroy prematurely the Gentile institutions, we have laid our efficient hands on them, and rasped the springs of their mechanism. They were formerly in strict and just order, but we have replaced them with a liberal disorganized and arbitrary administration. We have tampered with jurisprudence, the franchise, the press, freedom of the person, and, most important of all, education and culture, the corner stone of free existence.
"We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the Gentiles by means of education in principles and theories patently false to us, but which we have inspired. Above existing laws, without actual change but by distorting them through contradictory interpretations, we have created something stupendous in the way of results."
The method by which the Protocols work for the breakdown of society is
evident. An understanding of the method is necessary if one is to find the
meaning of the currents and cross-currents which make so hopeless a
hodge-podge of the present times. People who are confused and discouraged by
the various voices and discordant theories of today, each seeming to be
plausible and promising, may find a clear clue to the value of the voices
and the meaning of the theories if they understand that their confusion
and discouragement comprise the very objective which is sought.
The uncertainty, hesitation, hopelessness, fear; the eagerness with which
every promising plan and offered solution is grasped - these are the very
reactions which the program outlined in the Protocols aims to produce. The
condition is proof of the efficacy of the program.
It is a method that takes time, and the Protocols declare that it has
taken time, indeed centuries. Students of the matter find the identical
program of the Protocols, announced and operated by the Jewish race, from
the first century onward.
It has taken 1900 years to bring Europe to its present degree of
subjugation - violent subjugation in some countries, political subjugation
in some, economic subjugation in all - but in America the same program, with
almost the same degree of success, has only required about 50 years! The
center of Jewish power, the principal sponsors of the Jewish program, are
resident in America, and the leverage which was used at the Peace
Conference* to fasten Jewish power more securely upon Europe, was American
leverage exercised at the behest of the strong Jewish pressure which was
brought from the United States for that purpose. And these activities did
not end with the Peace Conference.
The whole method of the Protocols may be described in one word,
Disintegration. The undoing of what has been done, the creation of a
long and hopeless interim in which attempts at reconstruction shall be
baffled, and the gradual wearing down of public opinion and public
confidence, until those who stand outside the created chaos shall insert
their strong, calm hand to seize control - that is the whole method of
procedure.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The Versailles Conference is referred to in the original text, following World War I. Jewish influence has been further demonstrated at the United Nations, under American protection, since World War II.
The Protocols distinctly declare that it is by means of the set of ideas which cluster around "democracy," that their first victory over public opinion was obtained. The idea is the weapon. And to be a weapon it must be an idea at variance with the natural trend of life. It must be a theory opposed to the facts of life. And no theory so opposed can be expected to take root and become the ruling factor, unless it appeals to the mind as reasonable, inspiring and good. The Truth frequently seems unreasonable; the Truth frequently is depressing; the Truth sometimes seems to be evil; but it has this eternal advantage, it is the Truth, and what is built thereon neither brings nor yields to confusion. This first step does not give the control of public opinion, but leads up to it. It is worthy to note that it is this sowing of "the poison of liberalism," as the Protocols name it, which comes first in order in those documents. Then, following upon that, the Protocols say:
Truth is one and cannot be confused, but this false, appealing liberalism which has been sown broadcast, and which is ripening faster under Jewish nurture in America than ever it did in Europe, is easily confused because it is not truth. It is error, and error has a thousand forms. Take a nation, a party, a city, an association in which "the poison of liberalism" has been sown, and you can split that up into as many factions as there are individuals simply by throwing among them certain modifications of the original idea. That is a piece of strategy well known to the forces that invisibly control mass-thought. Theodor Herzl, the arch-Jew, a man whose vision was wider than any contemporary statesman's and whose program paralleled the Protocols, knew this many years ago when he said that the Zionist (cryptic for "Jewish") state would come before the Socialist state could come; he knew with what endless divisions the "liberalism" which he and his predecessors had planted would be shackled and crippled."To obtain control over public opinion it is first necessary to confuse it."
The indication that they are highly satisfied is that they are not only not doing anything to relieve the world situation, but are apparently willing to have it made worse. The privations which are scheduled for it (unless Gentile flabbiness before the Jewish power, high and low, receives a new backbone), will bring the United States to the verge, if not across the very line, of Bolshevism. The Jews know the whole method of artificial scarcity and high prices. It was practiced in the French Revolution and in Russia. All the signs of it are in this country too."We might fear the combined strength of the Gentiles of vision with the blind strength of the masses, but we have taken all measures against such a possible contingency by raising a wall of mutual antagonism between these two forces. Thus, the blind force of the masses remains our support. We, and we alone, shall serve as their leaders. Naturally, we will direct their energy to achieve our end."
The Jews have never been worn out or exhausted. They have never been nonplussed. This is the true psychic characteristic of those who have a clue to the maze. It is the unknown that exhausts the mind, the constant wandering around among tendencies and influences whose source is not known and whose purpose is not understood. Walking in the dark is wearing work. The Gentiles have been doing it for centuries. The others, having a pretty accurate idea what it was all about, have not succumbed. Even persecution is endurable if it is understandable, and the Jews of the world have always known just where it fitted in the scheme of things. Gentiles have suffered more from Jewish persecutions than have the Jews for after the persecutions were over, the Gentile was as much in the dark as ever; whereas Judaism simply took up again its century-long march toward a goal in which it implicitly believes, and which, some say who have a deep knowledge of Jewish roots in the world and who, too, may be touched with exhaustion, they will achieve. However this may be the revolution which would be necessary to unfasten the International Jewish system from its grip on the world, would probably have to be just as radical as any attempts the Jews have made to attain that grip. There are those who express serious doubts that the Gentiles are competent to do it at all. Maybe not. Let them at least know who their conquerors are."To wear everyone out by dissensions, animosities, feuds, famine, inoculation of diseases, want, until the Gentiles see no other way of escape except by an appeal to our money power." -- Protocol 10.
"We will so wear out anal exhaust the Gentiles by all this that they will be compelled to offer us an international authority, which by its position will enable us to absorb without disturbance all the governmental forces of the world and thus form a super-government. We must so direct the education of the Gentile Society that its hands will drop in the weakness of discouragement in the face of any undertaking where initiative is needed." - Protocol 5.
The Seventh Protocol --
"To each act of opposition we must be in a position to respond by bringing on war through the neighbors of any country that dares to oppose us, and if these neighbors should plan to stand collectively against us, we must let loose a world war."
Two organizations, both of which are as notable for their concealment
as for their power, are the New York Kehillah and the American Jewish
Committee. The Kehillah is the most potent factor in the political life of
New York; it is the organization which today wields so large an influence on
the rest of the world, which consciously issues a program which on one side
is pro-Jewish and on the other anti-Gentile. It is the central group, the
inner government, whose ruling is law and whose act is the official
expression of Jewish purpose. It offers a real and complete instance of a
government within a government in the midst of America's largest and
politically most powerful city, and it also constitutes the machine through
which pro-Jewish and anti-Gentile propaganda is operated and Jewish pressure
brought to bear against certain American ideas. That is to say, the Jewish
government of New York constitutes the essential part of the Jewish
Government of the United States.
The word "Kehillah" has the same meaning as "Kahal," which signifies
"community," "assembly" or government. It represents the Jewish form of
Government in dispersion. In the Babylonian captivity, in Eastern Europe
today, the Kahal is the power and protectorate to which the faithful Jew
looks for government and justice. The New York Kehillah is the largest and
most powerful union of Jews in the world, the center of Jewish world power
has been transferred to that city. That is the meaning of the heavy
migration of Jews all over the world toward New York in recent decades. It
is to them what Rome is to the Catholic and what Mecca is to the Moslem.
The Kehillah is a perfect answer to the deceptive statement that the Jews
are so divided among themselves as to render a concert of action impossible.
That is one of the statements made for Gentile consumption. All experience
shows, even to the most casual observer of Jewish activities, that the
capitalist and the bolshevik, the rabbi and the union leader are all united
under the flag of Judah. Touch the conservative capitalist who is a Jew, and
the red communist who is also a Jew will spring to his defense. It may be
that sometimes they love each other less, but altogether they hate the
non-Jew more, and that is their common bond. The Kehillah is an alliance,
more offensive than defensive, against the "Gentiles."
It is a strange and impressive spectacle which the Kehillah presents, of a
people of one racial origin, with a vivid belief in itself and its future,
disregarding internal differences, to combine privately in a powerful
organization for the racial, material and religious advancement of its own
race, to the exclusion of all others.
The American Jewish Committee came into being in 1906. There had been a
government investigation into the "White Slave Traffic," the result of which
was a direct set of public opinion into channels uncomplimentary to the
Jews, and a defensive movement was begun. The Kehillah organized protests
against the statement by General Bingham, then police commissioner of the
City of New York, that 50 per cent of the crime in the metropolis was
committed by Jews. Very soon afterward, General Bingham disappeared from
public life, and a national magazine of power and influence which had
embarked on a series of articles setting forth the government's finding in
the White Slave investigation was forced to discontinue after printing the
first article.
The Kehillah has mapped out New York just as the American Jewish Committee
has mapped the United States, and practically every Jew belongs to one or
more lodges, secret societies, unions, orders, committees and federations.
The list is a prodigious one. The purposes interlace and the methods
dovetail in such a manner as to bring every phase of American life not only
under the watchful eye, but under the swift and powerful action of
experienced compulsion upon public affairs.
At the meeting which organized the Kehillah a number of sentiments were
expressed which are worthy of consideration today, Judah L. Magnes, then
rabbi of Temple Emanu-el, chairman of the meeting, set forth the plan:
"A central organization like that of the Jewish community of New York City is necessary to create a Jewish public opinion," he said.
Rabbi Asher was loudly applauded when he said:
"American interests are one, Jewish interests are another thing."
The delegates at the first open meeting in 1906 represented 222 Jewish societies - religious, political, industrial and communal. Just over a year later the number of Jewish organizations under the jurisdiction of the Kehillah aggregated 688, and in 1921 well over 1,000. When the aggressive program of the Kehillah to make New York a Jewish city, and through New York to make the United States a Jewish country, was announced some of the more conservative Jews of New York were timorous. They did not expect that the American people would stand for it. They thought the American people would immediately understand what was afoot and oppose it. There were others who doubted whether the same Kehillah authority could here be wielded over the Jews as was wielded in the old country ghettos. An official of the Kehillah wrote:
"There were those who doubted the ultimate success of this new venture in Jewish organization. They based their lack of belief on the fact that no governmental authority could possibly be secured; in other words, that the Kehillah of New York could not hope to wield the same power, based on governmental coercion, as the Kehillahs of the Old World."
There is much in this paragraph to indicate the status of the Kehillah
in Jewish life. Add to this fact that all the Jews who entered America lived
under the Kehillahs of the old world, whose power was based on coercion, and
the situation is simple. Regimentation, the destruction of individual
liberty which has risen to curse the world, is the basic principle of Jewish
government of the Jews, by the Jews.
What else can happen when world government of the Gentiles by the Jews for
the bankers becomes established?
However, the misgivings of some Jews were not justified. The Americans
made no protest. The Kehillah went ahead with its campaign and America
submitted. New York became Jewish. American life, American thought, and
American politics, became Jewish-dominated in the decades that followed. But
with it all, the Jews exhibit a sense of the insecurity of this usurpation
of power. It does not belong to those who have seized it; it does not belong
either by right of numbers, or by right of superior ability, or yet by right
of a better use made of that power. They have taken power in America by
audacity; they have taken it in such a way as to make resentment of it seem
like an anti-racial movement - and that is why they have held it as long as
they have. That is the only way to explain the meekness of the Americans in
this matter, and it also accounts for the sense of insecurity which even the
Jews feel in the position they hold. The American is the slowest person in
the world to act on any line that savors of racial or religious prejudice.
This makes for a seeming aloofness from matters like the Jewish Question.
This also leads uninformed public men to sign protests against.
"anti-Semitism" which are really designed to be protests against the
publication of Jewish facts. The foundation, organization and rapid success
of the Kehillah in New York is an object lesson set in the sight of the
world, as to what the Jew can do and will do when he exalts himself to the
seat of rule.
As to the Kehillah being officially representative, it may be added that
the Kehillah has in it representatives of the Central Conference of American
Rabbis, Eastern Council of Reform Rabbis, Independent Order of B'nai B'rith,
Independent Order of B'rith Shalom, Independent Order of Free Sons of
Israel, Independent Order of B'rith Abraham, Federation of American Zionists
- orthodox Jews, reform Jews, "apostate Jews," rich Jews, poor Jews,
law-abiding Jews and red revolutionary Jews. At the 1918 Convention there
were present: Jacob H. Schiff, banker; Louis Marshall, lawyer, president of
the American Jewish Committee; Adolf S. Ochs, proprietor of the "New York
Times"; Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the General Sessions Court; Otto H.
Kahn, of the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company - AND --
Benjamin Schlesinger, who had lately returned from Moscow where he had a
conference with Lenin; Joseph Schlossberg, general secretary of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America; Marc Pine, also a recent consultant
with the Bolshevik rulers of Russia; David Pinski; Joseph Barondess, labor
leader. The high and the low were there; the first world war was closing,
the Russian revolution had been won. Judge Mack, who headed the War Risk
Insurance Bureau of the United States Government, and the little leader of
the reddest group in the East End - they all met in the Kehillah, as Jews.
Adolph Ochs of the great "New York Times" together with the most
feverish scribbler on a Yiddish weekly that calls for blood and violence,
all of them of all classes, bound together in a solidarity which has been
achieved by no other people so perfectly as by Judah. Banded together for
the purpose of "protecting Jewish rights."*
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The Kehillah has now expanded its work and influence internationally in the powerful organization known as the World Jewish Congress.
What rights have Americans that Jews in America do not possess? Against
whom are the Jews organized and against what? What basis is there for the
cry of "persecution"? None whatever, except the Jews' own consciousness that
the course they are pursuing is due for a check. The Jews always know that.
They are not in the stream of the world, and every little while the world
finds out what Judah always knows. The program of the Kehillah was
ostensibly to "assert Jewish rights." No Jewish rights have ever been
interfered with in America. The expression was a euphemism for a campaign to
interfere with non-Jewish rights.
The New York Kehillah is the pattern and parent Jewish community in the
United States, the visible entourage of the Jewish government, the dynamo
which motivates those "protests" and "mass meetings" which are frequently
heralded throughout the country, and the arsenal of that kind of dark power
which the Jewish leaders know so well how to use. It is the "whispering
gallery," where the famous whispering drives are originated and set in
motion and made to break in lying publicity over the country. The liaison
between this center of Jewish power and the affairs of the people of the
United States is made by the American Jewish Committee. The Committee and
the Kehillah are practically identical as far as the national Jewish program
is concerned. Through their foreign associations they are also identical as
far as the world program is concerned.
The United States is divided into 12 parts by the American Jewish
Committee and every State belongs to a district headed by the most powerful
and representative Jews. The Committee represents the focusing point of the
religious, racial, financial and political will of Jewry. It is also the
executive committee of the New York Kehillah. New York Jewry is the dynamo
of the national Jewish machinery. Its national instrument is the American
Jewish Committee. Among its direct leaders and supporters today are the
owners of powerful newspapers, officials in Federal, State and City
administration, influential office holders on public boards and
corporations, members of the judiciary and police departments, financiers
and heads of banking houses, mercantile and manufacturing establishments,
labor leaders and political party organizers of all colors.
There are certain announced purposes of these associations, and there are
certain purposes which are not announced. The announced purposes may be read
in printed pages; the purposes not announced may be read in the records of
attempted acts and achieved results. To keep the record straight let us look
first at the announced purposes of the American Jewish Committee, then of
the Kehillah; next at the line which binds the two together; and then at the
real purposes as they are to be construed from a long list of attempts and
achievements. The American Jewish Committee, officially organized in 1906,
announced itself as incorporated for the following purposes:
It is an exclusively Jewish program. The Charter of the Kehillah empowered it, among other things, to establish an educational bureau, to adjust differences between Jewish residents or organizations by arbitration or by means of boards of mediation or conciliation; while the Constitution announces the purpose to be:
"To further the cause of Judaism in New York City and to represent the Jews in this city with respect to all local matters of Jewish interest."
Where the American Jewish Committee and the Kehillah join forces is shown as follows:
It will be seen, therefore, that the Kehillah and the American Jewish Committee are one. The capital of the United States, in Jewish affairs, is New York. Perhaps that may throw a sidelight on the efforts which are constantly made to exalt New York as the spring and source of all the thoughts of the day. (Editor's Note: and now the seat of the United Nations system of world government)! New York, the Jewish capital of the United States, has been made the financial center, the art center, the political center of the country. But its art is oriental sensuousness, its politics those of a Judaized Tammany. It is the home of anti-American propaganda, of pro-Jewish hysteria, a mad confusion of mind that now passes all over the world as the true picture of America.Committee was a national organization, the Jewish Community (Kehillah), of New York City, if combined with it, would have a voice in shaping the policy of Jewry throughout the land. It is expressly understood that the American Jewish Committee shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all questions of a national or International character affecting the Jews generally."
This study of the Jewish Question in the United States is not based
upon religious differences. The religious element does not enter except when
it is injected by the Jews themselves; they persistently inject it in three
ways: First, in their allegation that any study of the Jews is "religious
persecution"; second, by their own records of what their activities in the
United States consist of; third, by the impression which is very misleading
if not corrected, that the Jews are the Old Testament people. The Jews are
not the Old Testament people and the Old Testament can be found among them
only with difficulty. They are a Talmudical people who have preferred the
volumes of rabbinical speculation to the words of the ancient prophets.
In this series of articles we have set aside every non-Jewish statement on
this religious question, and have accepted only that which proceeds from
recognized Jewish sources. It has been most illuminating, in studying the
proceedings of the New York Kehillah and the American Jewish Committee, and
their affiliated organizations, as represented by their activities
throughout the country, to find how large a part of these activities have a
religious bearing, as being directly and combatively anti-Christian.
That is to say, when the Jews set forth in the public charters and
constitutions of their organizations that their only purpose is to "protect
Jewish rights," and when the public asks what are these "Jewish rights"
which need protection in this free country, the answer can be found only in
the actions which the Jews take to secure that "protection."
Thus interpreted, "Jewish rights" seem to be summed up in the "right" to
banish everything from their sight and hearing that suggests Christianity or
its Founder. It is just there, from the Jewish side, that religious
intolerance makes its appearance.
Previous to the formation of the Kehillah and the Jewish Committee,
this sort of attack on the rights of Americans was sporadic, but since 1906
it has increased in number and insistence. Under cover of the ideal of
Liberty we have given the Jews liberty to attack Liberty. What America has
been tolerating is intolerance itself. Let us look rapidly down the years
and see one phase of that attack. It is the attack upon Christianity. Here
are a few items from the record. They are recorded over a period of years
following the rise of Jewish power in America:
1899-1900. The Jews attempt to have the word "Christian" removed from the
Bill of Rights of the State of Virginia.
1906-1907. The Jews of Oklahoma petition the Constitutional Convention
protesting that the acknowledgment of Christ in the new State constitution
then being formulated would be repugnant to the Constitution of the United
States.
The Jews force "The Merchant of Venice" to be dropped from public schools
in Texas, Ohio.
1907-1908. Widespread demand by the Jews for the complete secularization
of the public institutions of this country, as a part of the demand of the
Jews for their constitutional rights.
Supreme Court Justice Brewer's statement that this is a Christian country
widely controverted by Jewish rabbis and publications.
Jews agitate in many cities against Bible reading. Christmas celebrations
or carols in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Paul and New York met with strong
Jewish opposition.
1908-1909. Protests made to Governor of Arkansas against "Christological
expressions" employed by him in his Thanksgiving Day proclamation.
Professor Gotthard Deutsch protests against "Christological prayers" at
the high school graduating exercises at Cincinnati.
Jewish community in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania defeats resolutions providing
daily Bible reading in schools.
Local Council of Jewish Women of Baltimore petitions school board to
prohibit Christmas exercises.
Boycotts were instituted in New York against merchants who opened on
Saturday.
Special efforts at this period to introduce the idea of the Jewish Sabbath
into public business. Jews refused to sit as jurors in court, thus
postponing cases.
1909-1910. On demand of the Jews, the school board of Bridgeport,
Pennsylvania, votes to discontinue the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in
the school.
In Newark, New Jersey, the rabbis ask the night schools to discontinue
Friday evening sessions, because the Jewish Sabbath begins at sundown on
Friday.
The work of introducing the idea of Jewish national holidays into public
life especially active.
1910-1911. An attempt to have Hebrew officially recognized was frustrated
by Supreme Court Judge Goff.
Chicago Jews have election date changed because the official date fell on
the last day of the Passover.
Jews oppose Bible reading and singing of hymns in Detroit schools.
Rabbis force Hartford, Connecticut, school board to drop "The Merchant of
Venice" from reading list.
New York Kehillah does two contradictory things; favors bill to permit
Jews to do all kinds of business on Sunday, and pledges itself to co-operate
in the strict enforcement of the Sunday laws.
1911-1912. Jews in Passaic, New Jersey, petition school board to eliminate
Bible reading and all Christian songs from the schools.
At request of a rabbi, three principals of Roxbury, Mass., public schools
agree to banish Christmas tree and omit all references to the season from
their schools.
A Jewish delegate to the Ohio Constitutional Convention suggests that the
Constitution be made to forbid Christian religious references in schools.
The Council of the University Settlement, at the request of the New York
Kehillah, adopts this resolution: "That in the holiday celebrations held
annually by the Kindergarten Association at the University Settlement every
feature of any sectarian character, including Christmas trees, Christmas
programs and Christmas songs, shall be eliminated."
1912-1913. Jews at Jackson, Tennessee, seek an injunction to prevent the
reading of the Bible in City schools.
Annual Convention Independent Order B'nai B'rith at Nashville, Tennessee,
adopts resolution against reading of the Bible and singing Christian songs
in public schools.
Chicago Board of Education, scene of much Jewish agitation, approves
recommendation of sub-committee to remove Christmas from the list of
official public holidays in schools.
1913-1914. The energies of the Jewish powers were concentrated on the task
of preventing the United States from changing the immigration laws in a
manner to protect the country from undesirable aliens.
1914-1915. More Kehillah attempts to secure modification of the Sunday
laws.
1915-1916. Jewish opposition to various movements towards making the
schools free to use the Bible.
1916-1917. Jews busy carrying out an immense campaign against the
"literacy clause" of the Immigration Bill.
On demand of the Jews the New Haven Connecticut, Board of Education
prevents the reading of "The Merchant of Venice," and extends the
prohibition to "Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare."
1918-1919. Provost Marshal Crowder, in charge of the Selective Draft U.S.
Forces, had issued an order to all medical examiners, under direction of the
Surgeon General, stating "The foreign-born, especially Jews, are more apt to
malinger than the native-born." Louis Marshall, head of the American Jewish
Committee, telegraphed demanding that the "further use of this form shall be
at once discontinued." President Wilson ordered the excision of the
paragraph.
The United States Shipping Board sent an advertisement to the "New York
Times," calling for a file clerk and stating that a "Christian" was
preferred - by which is meant always a non-Jew - the paper rejected it.
Louis Marshall again went into action and protested to Bainbridge Colby,
Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State, demanding "Not because of any desire
for inflicting punishment, but for the sake of example and the
establishment of a necessary precedent this offense should be
followed by a dismissal from the public office of the offender, and the
public should be informed the reason." Attention is called to the tone which
the American Jewish Committee adopts when addressing high American officials
in the name of Jewry. It is not to be duplicated in the addresses of any
other representative of any other race or faith.
The Plattsburg Manual, published for officers in the United States
officers' training camps, contained the statement that "the ideal officer is
a Christian gentleman." The A J.C. at once protested against "Christological
manifestations," and the Manual was changed to read "the ideal officer is a
courteous gentleman."
The Anti-Defamation Committee claimed that 160 American cities had
excluded "The Merchant of Venice" from the public schools.
1919-1920. The Kehillah was so successful in its campaign that it was
possible for a Jewish advertiser in New York to say that he wanted only
Jewish help, but it was not possible for a non-Jewish advertiser to state
his non-Jewish preference.
And so it goes on, year after year, right up to the present day. The
incidents quoted are typical not occasional. They represent what is
transpiring all the time in the United States as the Jews pursue their
"rights." There is no interference with Jewish ways and manners. The Jew may
use his own calendar, keep his own days, observe his own form of worship,
live in his own ghetto, exist on a dietary principle all his own, slaughter
his cattle in a manner which no one who knows about it can approve - he can
do all these things without molestation, without the slightest question of
his right in them. But, the non-Jew is the "persecuted one." He must do
everything the way the Jew wants it done; if not he is infringing on Jewish
"rights."
What people are now coming to see is that it is American rights that
have been interfered with, and the interference has been made with the
assistance of their own "broad-minded" tolerance. The Jews' interference
with the religion of others, and the Jews' determination to wipe out of
public life every sign of the predominant Christian character of the United
States, is the only active form of religious intolerance in the country
today. Not content with the fullest liberty to follow their own faith in
peace and quietness, in a country where none dare make them afraid, the Jews
declare - we read it in their activities - that every sight and sound of
anything Christian is an invasion of their peace and quietness, and so they
stamp it out wherever they can reach it through political means. To what
lengths this spirit may run is shown in the prophecies of the Talmud, and in
the "reforms" undertaken by the Communists of Russia and Eastern Europe.
That is not all; not content with their own liberty, not content with the
"secularization," which means the de-Christianization of all public
institutions, the third step observable in Jewish activities is the actual
exaltation of Judaism as a recognized and specially privileged system. The
program is the now familiar one wherever the Jewish program is found: first,
establishment; second, the destruction of all that is non-Jewish or
anti-Jewish; third, exaltation of Judaism in all its phases.
Put the Lord's Prayer and certain Shakespeare plays out of the public
schools, but put Jewish courts in the public buildings - that is the way it
works. Secularization is preparatory to Judaization. The New York Kehillah
is an illustration of how it is done, and the American Jewish Committee is
an illustration of the type of men who do it.
The work of the Kehillah is claimed to be "educational" by its defenders,
on the few occasions when it is attacked. It is certainly that. The best
educated members are those who come from the Eastern European ghettos where
the Kehillah idea was fully understood and practiced and where Jewish -
community - government exercised unrestricted sway. Whatever other phase of
education the Kehillah may be interested in, it certainly stresses most
the education to separateness. Dr. S. Benderley, director of the Bureau
of Education, gave away the objects of the Kehillah "education" thus:
"The problem before us was to form a body of young Jews who should be on the one hand true Americans, a part of this Republic, with an intense interest in building up American ideals; and yet, on the other hand, be also Jews in love with the best of their own ideals, and not anxious merely to merge with the rest and disappear among them. That problem confronts Orthodox and Reform Jews alike. It is not merely a religious but a civic problem."
That is separatism and exclusiveness as an educational program, and its
result cannot help being training in ideas of racial superiority and
exclusivism.
It is the Jews' unceasing consciousness of the "Goy" that constitutes the
disease of Judaism, this centuries-long tradition of separateness. There is
no such thing as "anti-Semitism." There is, however, much anti-Goyism. In
all the countries of the world there is no anti-Arab sentiment of which
anyone knows. None of the Semite people have been distinguished by the
special dislike of any other people. There is no reason why anyone should
dislike the Semites.
It is very strange, however, that the Semite people should be a unit in
disliking the Jews. Palestine, which still only has a handful of Jews,* is
peopled by Semites who so thoroughly dislike the Jews that serious
complications are threatening the Zionist advances being made there. This
surely is not anti-Semitism. Semites are not against Semites. They are at
odds with Jews.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The original was written in 1921 when the Jewish population of Palestine was still insignificant. In 1918 it was only about 4 per cent
When Aryan and Semite are kept conscious through many centuries that
the Jew is another and superior race, and when it is known that neither
Ayran nor Semite are touchy on the race question, what is the answer? Only
this, that the whole substance of such a situation must be supplied by the
Jews.
There is no such thing as anti-Semitism. There is only a very little and a
very mild anti-Jewism.
But a study of Jewish publications, books, pamphlets, declarations,
constitutions and charters, as well as a study of organized Jewish action in
this and other countries, indicates that there is a tremendous amount of
anti-Goyism, or anti-Gentilism.
The Second Protocol --
"The administrators chosen by us from the masses for their servility will not be persons trained for government, and consequently they will easily become pawns in our game, played by our learned and talented counselors, specialists educated from early childhood to administer world affairs. As we know, our specialists have been acquiring the necessary knowledge for governing."
Within the memory of even young men, Tammany Hall has been the synonym
of all political trickery in the vocabulary of popular criticism. Tammany
Hall was held up as the worst example of boss rule, political corruption,
brute force, that it was possible to find in the world. Its very name became
a stigma in the decades before the first world war. But even the most
unobservant newspaper reader must have observed the gradual fading out of
Tammany Hall from public comment, the cessation of the bitter criticism, the
entire absence of headlines bristling with ugly charges, and the calling of
the hosts of good citizenship to do battle against the grim bossism that
maintained its headquarters in New York.
Why the change in recent years? Is it due to the dying out of Tammany Hall
as a political force? No, Tammany Hall is still there, as any New York
politician will tell you. The Tammany tiger has not changed its stripes.
There was a time when fearless publications told the truth about Tammany,
but they have either gone out of existence or have fallen under control of
the Jews. There was a time when public bodies like the Citizens' Union
organized to oppose Tammany and to keep a volunteer vigil on its activities;
these groups have succumbed to Jewish contributions and officership and no
longer stand guard.
The outcry against Tammany seemed to be hushed the moment that Tammany
patronage fell into the hands of the New York Jews, where it now remains,
the Kehillah being the real political center, and Tammany but a distributing
station - a sort of "Gentile front" for the more powerful Kehillah. The
Judaization of Tammany is now complete, for the Irish element has been
overcome by Jewish money.
Tammany was one of the strongest political organizations ever seen in the
United States. Potent not only in municipal and state politics, but often
exercising a decisive influence on national affairs. It was, without
exaggeration, unequalled in any country in the world.
If there is one quality that attracts Jews, it is power. Wherever the seat
of power may be, thither they swarm obsequiously. As Tammany was power and
the gate of power, it was natural that the Jews of the biggest Jewish city
in the world should court it. Doubtless, they were also affected by the
incongruity of the fact that in the biggest Jewish city, the most solid
political power was non-Jewish.
When the German Jewish banker, Schoenberg, went to America under the name of
August Belmont to represent the interests of the Rothschilds, his keen eye
at once took in the situation. He became a member and supporter of Tammany.
It was good business for this Jewish banker, because the funds of the
Rothschilds were heavily invested in New York transport. The properties of
city tractions are, as in all American cities, at the mercy of the local
Tammany power, by whatever name it may be known. Belmont eventually attained
the coveted eminence of Grand Sachem of the Tammany Society.
Belmont-Schoenberg opened the way for the rest of the Jews; the Freedman's,
Untermeyer's, Straus's; financiers, lawyers, politicians, business men and
union sharks. There soon followed the wholesale appointment of Jews to the
judiciary of New York until New York became a political and legal Jewish
preserve; and onwards to the Supreme Court where Jewish influence never
looked back since the now distant day of the Jewish capture of Tammany Hall.
It was necessary for a Jewry that planned to control the judiciary, as
well as to provide special protection for certain Jewish enterprises that
are near enough to the borderline of the law to merit question, it was
necessary to obtain control of the supreme political engine through which
favors are disbursed in local politics. The peculiar system of local, state
and national government in the United States made it easy for the control of
such organizations to be gained by money.
The Jew's natural political home seems to be in the Republican Party, for
thither he returns after venture elsewhere; but his predeliction for the
Republican Party does not move the Jew to make the mistake of being
exclusively the partisan of one group. It is better, he knows, to control
all groups. Strong as Jewry became in Tammany, it was even stronger in the
ranks of the Republican Party, while New York socialism was, and is,
completely headed and manned by Jews. This renders it extremely easy for the
Jews to swing support in whichever direction they choose, and for Kehillah
to fulfill any threat it may make. It also insures that any Jewish candidate
on any ticket will be elected.
Because of the powerful Irish control of Tammany at the beginning, the
Jews worked cautiously. The Kehillah adopted the ancient policy, not of
putting forward their own people, but non-Jews who could be useful to Judah.
The difference between pro-Jewish politicians who are not themselves Jews,
and politicians of the Jewish race, is that the former can sometimes go
further than the Jew in office can, without detection. Thus, in the early
days of Tammany, indeed until just before World War I there was always a
"Gentile front" in Tammany offices basking in the glory of Tammany
publicity, but always in the background there was his "Jewish control." This
is the formula for citizens who wish to know the meaning of things otherwise
unexplained - "look for the 'Jewish control'. " To this end, therefore, the
Jews have been strong in all parties, so that whichever way the election
went, the Jews would win. In New York it is always the Jewish party that
wins. Whoever wins New York rules the Government.
As always election campaigns are staged as an entertainment, a diversion
for the people; they are permitted to think and act as if they are really
making their own government, but it is always the Jews that win. And if
after having elected their man or group, obedience is not rendered to the
Jewish control, then you speedily hear of "scandals" and "investigations"
and "impeachments" for the removal of the disobedient.
Usually a man with a "past" proves the most obedient instrument, but even
a good man can often be tangled up in campaign practices that compromise
him. It has been commonly known that Jewish manipulation of American
election campaigns have been so skillfully handled, that no matter which
candidate was elected, there was ready made a sufficient amount of evidence
to discredit him in case his Jewish masters needed to discredit him. To
arrange this is part of the thoroughness of Jewish control. And, of course,
the American people have been sufficiently trained to roar against the
public official immediately the first Jewish hound emits its warning bay.
Amazing as is the technique of the Jewish political process, the readiness
with which the American people can be counted on to do their part in
forwarding the game is still more amazing.
The strength of Tammany had exactly the same source as the strength of
the Kehillah, namely, in the foreign population; the difference being that
the Kehillah had a more compact foreign mass to draw upon. But both the
Kehillah leaders and the Tammany leaders have always been alertly aware of
the fact that their power depended upon an uninterrupted flow of
immigration. It is always the foreigner that makes the best material for the
Kehillah's purpose, until America became so thoroughly un-Americanized as to
make intensive immigration no longer essential. It was only then that
immigration began to slow down. The third great influx of immigration into
the United States occurred in 1884 and was really the cause of the beginning
of the degeneration of New York, and then of American political life. The
great wave was composed of Russian, Austrian and Hungarian Jews, whose
arrival was followed by a memorable period of crime, the marks of which
remain to this day.
At that time the police department and the police courts before which all
criminal cases in the city were first brought, were in the hands of Tammany
Hall under the notorious Boss Croker. The result of the Jewish control was a
partnership between local government and crime which has not been duplicated
outside of Semitic countries. Immigrant Jews of the shadier type organized
an association called The Max Hochstim Association, which was known as the
"Essex Market Court Gang." One of its chief leaders was Martin Engel,
Tammany leader of the Eighth District. The "king" of this Jewish district
was a man named Solomon who had changed his name to the less revealing one
of "Smith," and who became known as "Silver Dollar Smith," because of the
fact that he ruled his little empire from the Silver Dollar Saloon. This
saloon was just opposite the Essex Market Court, which was thronged daily by
hordes of Yiddish criminals, the bondsmen, the false witnesses and lawyers.
The Max Hochstim Association became the first organized White Slavery Group
in America, and the revelations made by the United States Government
Investigation Committee are shuddering exposures of that lowest form of
depravity - a coolly conducted, commercialized, consolidated traffic in
women. The traffic was made to yield dividends to politicians, to Tammany
Jews in particular; it was during the official investigation that the Max
Hochstim Association became known as the "Essex Market Court Gang." Out of
the old police court in the "red light" Essex Market district, New York,
comes a word which has fixed itself in common English speech. A lawyer named
Scheuster, whose practices were quite characteristic, made himself very
obnoxious to Justice Osborne. Whenever another Yiddish lawyer attempted a
shady trick the judge would openly denounce it as "Scheuster practice," and
so it came that the first men in the profession to bear the name of
"shyster" were the Yiddish lawyers of Essex Market Court, New York.
It is a surprising fact that, although these matters are written in
official documents, and although the same matters have been written into the
record of every similar investigation which has been made, Jewish leaders
persist in denying that the leaders in this particular form of depravity are
Jews. When the United States Government made a nation-wide investigation, it
found and recorded the same facts. The New York Kehillah came into existence
as a defense organization at a time when the exposure of the Jewish White
Slave Traffic threatened to overwhelm the New York ghetto.
The exposure which resulted when the white people of New York finally
succeeded in getting the forces of the law to function impartially for a
little while, caused many of the implicated Jews to change their names.
These names are now representative of some of the best Jewish families,
whose concealed bar sinister is the fact that the foundation of the family
fortune was laid in the red light districts. The Max Hochstim Association
was not the only organization of its kind to be unearthed. Another was the
New York Independent Benevolent Association, which was organized in 1896 by
a party of Jewish white slave dealers. Gangs like these formed the backbone
of Tammany power in the slum districts; their principal field of operations
was the cheap dance halls, their cover the "benevolent associations" in the
East Side, all run by Jewish leaders, chiefly Russian and Galician Jews, as
the official report exposes. They were slavers as their forbears were in the
days of Rome's decline; they were bootleggers before the days of
prohibition; and they constituted a strong support of the international
narcotic ring which to this day has defied the law by corrupting the
officers of the law.
In the decade before the first world war, in seizing control and
exploiting New York, the Jews made one of their cyclically recurring
mistakes; they carried things too far with too high a hand. They survived
the exposure, however, and retained their power. It is this Jewish tendency
to boast and overdo that has always given the game away.
Superficial observers and writers have noted the recurrent protests
against Jewish presumption and bumptiousness and have explained them as
being recurrent spasms of a vile poison which is supposed to reside in the
blood of the Gentile - the vile poison of anti-Semitism. That is, of course,
the conventional Jewish propaganda explanation, and many Gentile clergy,
writers and politicians innocently retail it; many other Gentile worshippers
of Jewish money cynically connive at the treachery. It always breaks out
after wars, say some of these writers. Why after wars? Because in wars the
world sees more clearly than at other times the real purpose and personality
of the Jew. Thus, it is not anti-Semitism that breaks out - it is Judaism,
gross and exaggerated Semitism; and the serum that forms in the social body
to encist and control the germ of Judaism comes in the form of public
exposure and protest. That serum is working now - the serum of publicity;
and the Jewish program cannot endure it.
Study the history of all things whatsoever into which the Jews inject
themselves, from summer resorts to empires, and you see the same cycle
appearing.
The Jewish conquest of Tammany, however, is only one phase of the conquest
of New York. The Jewish objective is more than political. Merely to insure
that the lucrative and powerful officers of the city shall be their own
people, is not the end in view. New York has been turned into the Red Center
of America. There most of the alien treason carried on against the
government of the United States has its source. Tammany is a convenient
cover for ostensible political activity as the Kehillah is for the more
radical racial and anti-American racial activity.
The Sixth Protocol --
"We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies, colossal reservoirs of wealth, upon which even the big Gentile properties will be dependent to such an extent that they will all fall together with the government credit on the day following the political catastrophe. The economists here present must carefully weigh the significance of this combination. We must develop by every means the importance of our super-government, representing it as the protector and benefactor of all who voluntarily submit to us.
"The aristocracy of the Gentiles as a political force has passed away. We need not take them into consideration. But, as owners of the land, they are harmful to us in that they are independent in their sources of livelihood. Therefore, at all costs, we must deprive them of their land.
"The best means to attain this is to increase the taxes and mortgage indebtedness. These measures will keep land ownership in a state of unconditional subordination. Unable to satisfy their needs by small inheritances, the aristocrats among the Gentiles will burn themselves out rapidly.
"At the same time it is necessary to encourage trade and industry vigorously and especially speculation, the function of which is to act as a counterpoise to industry. Without speculation, industry will cause private capital to increase and tend to improve the condition of Agriculture by freeing the land from indebtedness for loans by the land banks. It is necessary for industry to deplete the land both of laborers and capital, and, through speculations, transfer all the money of the world into our hands, thereby throwing the Gentiles into the ranks of the proletariat. The Gentiles will then bow before us to obtain the right to existence.
Communism works in the United States through precisely the same
channels as it used in Russia and through the same agents - Revolutionary
and Predatory Unionism, as distinct from Business and Uplift Unionism, and
Jewish agitators. When Martens, the so-called Soviet Ambassador, "left" the
United States after being deported, he appointed as the representative of
Communism in the United States one Charles Recht, a Jew, a lawyer by
profession, who maintained an office in New York. This office was the
rendezvous of all the Jewish labor union leaders in the city, many of the
labor leaders throughout the country, and frequently of American government
officials and other political leaders known to be the henchmen of Jewish
aspirations in the United States and sympathizers with predatory radicalism.
The organization has since spread from coast to coast, from north to south.
The situation of Communist headquarters in New York was, and is, important
because from that center lines of authority and action radiate to all the
other cities of the Union. New York is the laboratory in which the
emissaries of revolution learn their lesson, and their knowledge is daily
increased by the counsel and experience of travelling delegates straight out
of Russia.
American citizens do not realize that all the public disturbances, the
labor differences, strikes and political confusions of which they read are
not mere sudden outbreaks, but the deliberately planned movements of leaders
who know exactly what they are doing.
Mobs are methodical; there is always an intelligent core which gets done
under the appearance of excitement what has been planned beforehand. Up
through the French Revolution, up through the German Revolution, up through
the Russian Revolution, and the world disorders since, came the previously
chosen men, and to this day the groups thus raised to power have not
lessened their power - and they are Jewish groups. Russia is not more Jewish
controlled than France; Germany tried in vain to loosen the grip of Judah
from her throat. So it is in America.
The first step of the Jewish organizations supporting Communism in the
United States was the control and expansion of the Hebrew labor movement
among the millions of immigrants during 50 years; with the view to eventual
Jewish control of all labor unions. The Jews have captured American trade
union movements as completely as if they had stormed them with the bayonet.
There is a mass of moving literature (mostly written by Jews) pretending
to describe the glowing hearts with which these alien throngs of
liberty-loving-democrats, workers' comrades, look upon America, their
intense longing for the "American way of life," their love of the people and
American institutions. The actions of these people and the utterances of
their leaders all too clearly give the lie to this fair picture which
gullible American Gentiles would fain believe.
The resistance offered to the "American way of life," consisting in the
limitations put on the Americanization program, has been sufficient to
convince alert observers that, so far as the Jewish invasion is concerned,
it is not their desire to go the way America is going, but to influence
America to go the way they are going. They talk a great deal of what
they bring to America but nothing at all of what they found there. America
is presented to them as a big piece of putty to be moulded as they desire.
"The Melting Pot," a term which the Jewish writer Zangwill gave currency, is
not a dignified name for the Republic, and it is more and more challenged as
descriptive of the process that goes on. There are some substances in the
pot that will not melt; but more significant still, there are rapidly
increasing influences who want to melt the pot!
The two divisions of Jewish wealth and political power are - first, German
Jewish, represented by the Schiffs, the Speyers, the Warburgs, the Kahns,
the Lewisohns and the Guggenheims. These play the game with the aid of the
financial resources of the non-Jews. The other division is composed of the
Russian and Polish Jews who monopolize the lower ranks of trade and
industry. Between them their grip and influence is absolute. They may
sometimes have internecine quarrels regarding the division of the spoils,
and eager publicists may zealously call attention to these quarrels as
evidence of the utter lack of unity among the Jews, but in the Kehillah and
elsewhere they understand each other quite well, and on the question of Jew
vs. "goy" they are indivisibly one.
There is a distinction between what this Jewish coalition would do
and what it could do, but its will and power never so closely
correspond as when the non-Jewish element in the nation is asleep. Never are
Jewish will and power so widely divorced as when the non-Jewish mind is
alert. The only thing to fear is not the alert Jew, but the consequences of
sleepiness among the Gentiles. The Jewish program is checked the moment
it is perceived and identified.
There are more Communists in the United States than there are in Soviet
Russia. Their aim is the same and their racial character is the same. If
they have not yet been able to do in America what they have done in Eastern
Europe, it is because of the greater dissemination of information, the
higher degree of intelligence, and particularly the wider diffusion of the
agencies of government, than ever obtained in Russia and Eastern Europe. The
power house of Communist influence and propaganda in the United States is in
the Jewish trade unions which, almost without exception, adhere to a
Bolshevik program for the respective industries and for the country as a
whole. The fact proves most embarrassing to the Jewish leaders in the
recognized political parties very frequently. It is bad enough that Russian
Bolshevism, Communism, should be so predominantly Jewish, but to confront
the same situation in the United States is a problem which Jewish leaders
have to use much ingenuity and deception to explain away or avoid. Yet the
International Jew of America cannot be absolved from bearing sole
responsibility for it. Russian Bolshevism came out of the East Side of New
York where it was fostered by the encouragement - the religious, moral and
financial encouragement - of Jewish leaders.
Leon Trotsky (Braunstein) was an East Sider. The forces which fostered
what he stood for centered in the Kehillah and the American Jewish
Committee. Both were interested in the work he set out to do - the overthrow
of an established government, one of the allies of the United States in
World War One. Russian Bolshevism was helped to its objective by Jewish gold
from the United States - and by the ignorance and indolence of the Gentile
citizens of the United States whose crimes of omission are almost as grave
as those of bolshevik commission.
Now that the influence of Communism is found to be numerically stronger
here than in Russia, the fact causes no little embarrassment to "patriotic"
Jews. The big Jewish labor organizations are the direct offspring of the
Jewish Socialist Bund of Russia. Bundists swarmed to the United States after
the abortive revolution of 1905 at which time they failed to put Bolshevism
over in Russia, and these Bundists gave their time to the Bolshevising of
the Hebrew Trade Unions in America. An Agitation Bureau was formed which
propagated radical Socialism through the medium of the Yiddish language. The
Bundists incorporated in 1905 in New York an organization known as "The
Workmen's Circle" and "swelled the ranks of the Jewish trade unions," to
quote the Kehillah's Register. After a brief attempt to propagate Socialism
without reference to the Jewish Question, it was given up, and in 1913 a
resolution was adopted declaring that the whole purpose of the work was
Jewish. This is attributed, in the Kehillah record, to the spread of "the
idea of Jewish nationalism."
What amazes the student of the Jewish Question in the United States is the
stupidity which permitted Jewish Bolshevism to flaunt itself so openly. The
only explanation that seems at all adequate is that the Jews never dreamed
that the American people would become sufficiently awake to challenge them.
The occasional exposure of Jewish tactics in America comes as a surprise to
the Jewish leaders, and is accounted for because they are confident they
have gained too strong a grip on the American mind to make such challenges
possible.
But, the Jewish leaders must admit that the Jewish Question does not
consist in American citizens uncovering the facts and helping other citizens
to become aware of them; the Jewish Question inheres in the facts themselves
and in Jewish responsibility for the facts.
If it is "anti-Semitism" to say that Communism in the United States is
Jewish, so be it; but to the unprejudiced mind it will look very like
Americanism.
When the British Army passed into Jerusalem in the
memorable capture of the city in 1917, the Protocols went in with it. A
symbolic circle was thus closed, though not in the way the Protocolists had
hoped. The man who carried the Protocols knew what they signified, and they
were carried not in triumph but as the plans of the enemies of world
liberty.
Zionism is the best advertised of all present Jewish activities and has
exerted a greater influence upon world events than the average man realizes.
In its more romantic aspects it makes an appeal to Christians as well as to
Jews, because there are certain prophecies which are held to concern the
return of the Jews to Jerusalem. When this return takes place, certain great
events are scheduled to ensue.
Because of this admixture of the "religious" sentiment, it is sometimes
difficult for a certain class of people to scrutinize modern Political
Zionism. They have been too well propagandized into believing that political
Zionism and the "return" promised by the prophets are the same thing. Having
succumbed to the initial confusion of mistaking Judah for Israel they have
entirely mistaken the ancient writings that relate to these two and have
made the tribe of Judah (whence comes the name of Jew) the hub around which
all history and humanity swing. Judah was the single tribe with which Israel
could not live in peace over 2,000 years ago, and which has the baleful gift
of stirring up the same kind of dissension today. Yet no one ever thought of
charging the Ten Tribes of Israel with "anti-Semitism."
Zionism is challenging the attention of the world today because it is
creating a situation out of which many believe the next war will come.*
EDITOR'S NOTE: *This prophetic paragraph appeared in the "Dearborn Independent," dated May 26, 1921. The conditions and activities leading up to World War II, and the present world conditions arising out of the Palestine imbroglio emphasize the prescience of the whole series of articles now reproduced in this edited edition.
To adopt a phraseology familiar to students of prophecy, it is believed
by many students of world affairs that Armageddon will be the direct result
of what is now beginning to be manifested in Palestine.
With Zionism as a dream of pious Jews this investigation has nothing to
do. With Zionism as a political fact, every government is now compelled to
have something to do. It is a bigger question than any other world
question, it lies back of all world problems, large or small, national
or international, and is rapidly proceeding under cover of many other
interests.
It is worthy of note that Zionism in the active modern political sense
took its rise racially and geographically where Bolshevism arose, namely, in
Russia, and that there was always a close relationship between the Zionists
of Russia and the New York Kehillah, as was evidenced by public utterances
made in Russia after the revolution in which the Kehillah was extolled.
At the time war was declared in 1914, the Zionist Inner Actions Committee
was spread about in various countries. For example: Dr. Schmarya Levin, of
Berlin, was in the United States and remained there. He was a Russian rabbi,
German scholar, and cosmopolitan. Although, in 1914, the Zionist center and
seat of Inner Actions Committee was at Berlin, he remained in the United
States and became recognized as the leader of the leaders of Zionism, until
the great Jewish shift to Versailles. Another member of the Inner Actions
Committee was Jacobson, who was in Constantinople.
"When he saw that Constantinople could no longer be a center of Zionist
politics, he left and went to Copenhagen, Denmark, where in a neutral
country he could be of practical usefulness to the Zionists by
transmitting information and funds." ("Guide to Zionism," page 80).
In fact, the entire Inner Actions Committee, with headquarters in Berlin,
moved freely through a war-locked world, the only two exceptions being
Warburg and Hantke and there was no need for the Berlin Warburg to move
about, for there were others who represented him.
Dr. Levin gave his sanction for the shifting of the center of Jewish
gravity from Berlin to America, and "As early as August 80, 1914, a month
after the outbreak of war, an extraordinary conference of American Zionists
was called in New York."
What this change of seat meant, has formed the subject of much discussion.
In 1914 the Jews apparently knew more about the probable duration of the
Great War than did the principals. It was not to be a mere excursion through
Belgium, as some fancied. There was time to dicker, time to show the value
of certain Jewish support to the governments. Germany gladly pledged the
land of Palestine to the Jews, but the Jews had already seen what Wilhelm II
had done in that ancient country when he enthroned himself on the Mount of
Olives. Evidently the Allies won in the contest of making promises and
submissions to Jewry, for on November 2, 1917, when General Allenby was
pushing up through Palestine with his British Army, Arthur James Balfour,
the British Foreign Secretary, issued the famous declaration approving
Palestine as a national home for the Jewish people.
"The wording of it came from the British Foreign Office, but the text had
been revised in the Zionist offices in America as well as in England. The
British Declaration was made in the form in which the Zionists desired it,
and the last clauses were added in order to appease a certain section
of timid anti-Zionist opinion." ("Guide to Zionism," pp. 85-86.)
Now read the Declaration and note the italicized clauses just referred to:
"His Majesty's Government view with favor the establishment in Palestine
of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best endeavors
to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood
that nothing wil1 be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights
of non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status
enjoyed by Jews in any other country."
Zionism is of particular interest, not merely because of the quarrels
which have arisen among the leaders over money - it is the war of "interest"
against "capital" - but also because of the light it throws on the two great
armies of Jews in the world, the way in which they use their power where
they can, and the trouble that always embroils the nations which become
Jewish tools.
People sometimes ask why Jewry. which is capitalistic, should favor
Bolshevism, which is the announced enemy of capital.
It is an interesting question. Why should a New York Jewish financier, an
officer of the government of the United States, help finance a "Red"
publication which even our tolerant government cannot stomach? In addition
to the fact that it is only "Gentile capital" that is attacked, the answer
is that the Jew who has fallen for the worship of the Golden Calf is anxious
to keep in the good graces of the Jew of the East - the Mongolian Jews - who
are rampaging against orderly systems of society. It quite useful when there
is a revolution in Paris to have 600 houses which you may own spared by the
incendiary mobs - as were Rothschild's houses. Zionism has been one of the
subjects upon which Western and Eastern Jews can unite.
Indeed, it was the Eastern Jew that compelled the Western Jew to take a
favorable stand on the matter. The Jews who are receiving the freedom of our
cities today in their various aspects as "German" and "British" scientists
are Eastern Jews. They have come to a contest with the Jews of America on
the question of Money. The Jews of America have smothered some very ugly
charges. The Jews of the East, more recently of Germany or England, are not
likely to be browbeaten by the money-bags of Jewish New York, for the
Eastern type of Jew knows of a situation in which money is the most useless
thing in the world - and that is why he is feared and favored by Western
Jewry of the Golden Calf.
Cunning Jewish defenders occasionally capitalize the "split" in Jewry.
There is no such thing. The real split in Jewry will come if and when Jews
of vision begin to support the attempts which have been made to liberate the
Jews from their leaders. This internal squabble means nothing but the
squabble of leaders; but when the Jews themselves divide, one side for
twentieth century light and the destruction of the power of selfish leaders,
then we may begin to hope. When the Jew recognizes the honesty of his
critics and the righteousness of what they charge, when the Jew advances in
civilization then there may be a "split," but not before. The division in
Jewry as evidenced by the contempt of the revolutionary party for the
financial party, and as even more strongly evidenced by the fear of the
revolutionary party by the financial party, was brought about by the earlier
insincerity of the Western Jew's Zionism. The Western Jew said that the
United States is the Promised Land, profits and interest are the "milk and
honey" and New York is Jerusalem; the Eastern Jew had another view.
A knowledge of Political Zionism is essential also as an authoritative
illustration of what the Jew does when he is in power. Heretofore there has
been Russia to illustrate this, but now there is Palestine. With every fact
against them, with every traveler and observer giving them the lie direct,
there are still Jewish spokesmen and poor befuddled "Gentile fronts," as
well as corrupt Gentile politicians and writers, who insist that Communism
is not Jewish and that Russia is not governed by Jews. It is just this
constant denial of facts, this failure to use their opportunity to be
honest, that is going to be the judgment of Jewish leaders. Communism all
over the world, not in Russia only, is Jewish.
More to the present point is Palestine, where the unity of revolutionary
and financial Jewry is never more clearly established. It is impossible for
the most irresponsible Jewish spokesman to deny that Palestine is Jewish.*
The government is Jewish, the plan of procedure is Jewish, the methods are
Jewish. Palestine will do to illustrate the genius of the Jew when he comes
to power.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The British Administration in Palestine is referred to at the time the original was written.
Professor Albert T. Clay, in the "Atlantic Monthly"
(will anyone declare that this long-established and thoroughly respectable
Boston publication is "anti-Semitic"?) warns us that the information about
Palestine which we receive in America comes to us through the Jewish
Telegraph Service (which is the Associated Press of worldwide Jewry) and the
Zionist propaganda. "The latter," he says, "with its harrowing stories of
pogroms in Europe, and its misrepresentations of the situation in the Near
East, has been able to awaken not a little sympathy for the Zionist
propaganda."
This propaganda of pogroms - "thousands upon thousands of Jews killed" -
amounts to nothing except as it illustrates the gullibility of the Press. No
one believes this propaganda and governments regularly disprove it. But the
fact that it continues indicates that something besides the facts is
necessary to keep the scheme going. In Jerusalem as this is being written
(1921: Ed.) martial law is proclaimed. There has been a struggle between the
native inhabitants, whom the Balfour Declaration sought to protect, and the
new-come Jews. The Jews were well armed and the natives fought with whatever
weapons they could find on the spot; the conclusion of all impartial
observers being that the Jews prepared for and sought the fight with
unprepared Arabs.
The mark of disorder perpetrated by the Jews is all over the place, the
"persecuted" turned persecutor, and lest this should be charged to the
general wildness of the people in Palestine let it be said that the Jewish
rioters (most of whom are thugs from Eastern Europe) are only expressing in
deeds what the "cultivated" American and English Jews have expressed in
words - namely, that the lawful inhabitants of the land ought to be driven
out, in spite of governmental promises to the contrary. One of the first
rioters during that bloody Easter after World War I, Jabotinsky, whom the
British authorities sentenced to 15 years in prison, was released
immediately on the arrival of the Jew Sir Herbert Samuel. Jabotinsky was one
of the original Russian Bolsheviks come down to practice the gentle arts of
that tribe in Palestine. The Government of Palestine since the British
occupation was, and is, Jewish. Sir Herbert Samuel was the British High
Commissioner, representing the power of the British Government which took up
the Mandate for Palestine. This founded the Jewish power which has been
maintained and increased to its present virulent state. The head of the
judicial department was also a Jew. Christian or Moslem judges who did not
give the Jew a shade the better of the proceedings were ousted - a condition
familiar in New York. Chaim Weizmann became head of the Department of Works,
and later emerged as the successor to Levin as the leader of Zionism. The
Jewish government of the "new Palestine" was very much like that of
Bolshevik Russia - mostly foreign. Practically every big American city was
represented in the first Bolshevik government of Russia. There is another
full-fledged government waiting in America for service whenever necessary.
The methods adopted to get the land of Palestine away from the Arabs in
the early days of the Zionist invasion were such as will fill the world with
indignation once the world is permitted to know what was done. That it was
done with the knowledge and approval of Zionist Commissioner Samuel is
indicated by the fact that he suspended the activities of a British officer
who endeavored to stop the abuse. It was the old game of lending money at
exorbitant rate of interest to Arabs hard pressed by the ravages of war and
crop failure, and then seizing their land when they could not pay. The bank
that did this was the Anglo-Palestine Bank, a Zionist concern. This British
officer, to save the people and the land, made arrangements with a British
bank to lend them money at 6.5% with five years to pay. If payment failed,
the land was to go to the government for redistribution, not to the Zionist
bank. This was the humane plan which the Zionist High Commissioner forbade,
whereupon the British officer resigned. The well-considered action of Jewry
in power.
Then follows what is described by every impartial observer as an arrogant
attempt to expropriate everything in sight. The only schools that had been
established in Jerusalem had been built and manned by the Gentiles, although
the tiny group of Jews permanently resident in Jerusalem have been the
pensioners of world-wide Jewry for centuries. As long ago as 1842 Dr. Murray
M'Cheyne noted that the Jerusalem Jews cared nothing for the schools, but
Christians with a warm regard for the Holy City set about to improve the
miserable condition of the Jewish inhabitants. Thus it came that at the time
of the Zionist invasion a considerable number of Jewish children were in
attendance at the schools. The new-come Zionist leaders demanded that the
best of the schools be given up to them. Of course, this was refused. "The
Council of Jerusalem Jews" then caused it to be published in the Hebrew
daily that parents who did not withdraw their children from the schools
would be punished. Now look at the typical punishments threatened:
If any parent refused whose name was on the list of the American Relief
Fund, the relief would be withdrawn.
Doctors would be forbidden to visit families that had children attending
the enlightened schools.
Their names would be sent to the black-list at the places where
circumcision was performed, so that new-born descendants of the
recalcitrants might be refused the rites of Moses.
They would be denied all share in Zionist benefits or funds.
If they were in business they would be boycotted.
If they were workmen, they could get no work.
"Anyone who refused, let him know that it was forbidden for him to be
called by the name of Jew. They will be fought by all lawful means. Their
names will be put upon a monument of shame and their deeds made to reproach
them to the last generation. If they are supported, their support will
cease. If they are rabbis, they will be removed from office. They shall be
put under the ban and persecuted, and all the world will know that in this
justice there has been no mercy."
It is the spirit of Jewish Bolshevism all over again. It is tyranny, not
the tyranny of strength, but of meanness and darkness. It is the spirit
which produced the Irgun terrorism, the Jewish hatred, malice and vengeance
which lurks for all critics of Jewry and opponents of Zionist ambitions.
This spirit which obtained at the beginning of a movement, which the
innocent Christian world has been taught by propaganda to regard as a
profoundly religious and respectable exodus, explains all that has happened
in the years since the Zionists took over Palestine. It staggers the
imagination to forecast what will be done in a period of full and
unquestioned rule.
It is very clear that Jewish nationalism will develop along the line of
enmity to the rest of the world.
There are three elements of danger in the situation: the overwhelming
predominant Bolshevist element that is being poured into Palestine; the
intense, egotistic and challenging nationalism that Zionists exhibit even
before they get a potato patch - the taste for world politics and world
power; and the racial confusion which now exists in Palestine.
These combined are dynamite. The first is more vital than many realize.
The few Jews who have gone to Palestine at great sacrifice and for pious
reasons are complaining that instead of the Psalms of David the people are
singing songs of the Red Revolution, and instead of meeting for instruction
and prayer there are riotous gatherings extolling Russian leaders as
Messiahs and the Soviet as the Kingdom of Heaven.
Palestine has been called the center of the earth. The power that controls
Palestine controls the world. Although exercising no sovereignty over the
land itself, Great Britain's control of adjacent waters and of Egypt and
Persia and India forms the key of her power.*
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The "key" has since been given away. It is significant that the "giving away" of British power in recent years should have the approval of both the Conservative, self-confessed Zionist, Churchill, and the British Labor Party. British history since World War I clearly proves the dominance of Jewish power in that country.
The white race has thus far been the Chosen People to whom dominion of the earth has been given. Palestine is the key to world military strategy and trade. In question 12 of the Questions and Answers published by the department Education, Zionist Organization of America, this occurs:
12. What are the commercial possibilities of Palestine? The location of Palestine between three continents favours foreign trade.
All this lends itself to dreams of future glory, as do the unlimited
mineral and oil resources of Palestine estimated by scientists in
astronomical figures.
Many Christian friends of the Jew have pleased themselves by conceiving a
universal Hague at Jerusalem and a new social order going out to bless the
nations from Zion. It is the idea conveyed by men like A. A. Berle in books
like "The World Significance of a Jewish State."
Americans do not understand the delicate racial situation in Palestine.
Zionist propaganda has always been accepted on the assumption that Palestine
is the Jews' land and that they only need help to go back. It is an
historical and political fact that Palestine has not been the Jew's land for
more than 2,000 years - and then for only a brief while. At the close of the
1914-1918 war there were in Palestine over 600,000 Arabs and only 50,000
Jews. Neither numerically nor industrially have the Jews held the land. Yet
as the result of a "war bargain" it is handed over to them as regardless of
the native inhabitants as if Belgium had been handed over to Mexico. Many of
the natives are Semites, like the Jews, but they do not want the Jews among
them. The Balfour Declaration, as well as the terms of the Mandate,
recognized the rights of the native races. Everyone who knows about the
people who have been native to Palestine for thousands of years recognizes
their right, everybody except the Jews.
It is now that the last clauses, added as the Zionist historian declares,
"in order to appease a certain section of timid anti-Zionist opinion?' begin
to get a meaning for the reader.
Was the purpose only to quiet disturbing questions until all the
arrangements were made? Evidently. It was then a dishonest appeasement! Such
may have been the Zionists' intention, but no one expects perjury on the
part of the responsible nations.
General Allenby promised the native Arabs of Palestine that their rights
would be respected. So did the Balfour Declaration. So did the San Remo
Conference. So also did President Wilson in the twelfth of his Fourteen
Points.
But Judah says, "Let them get out!" "The last clauses were added in order
to appease a certain section of timid anti-Zionist opinion." "Let them give
up their land to us, we want it!" The delightful Jewishness of it! The
watchmen on the towers of the world are alarmed at what is brewing in
Judah's cauldron.
The Tenth Protocol --
"To wear everyone out by dissensions, animosities, feuds, famine, inoculation of diseases, want, until the Gentiles see no other way of escape except an appeal to our money and power."
The Theater has long been a part of the Jewish program for the guidance
of public taste and the influencing of the public mind. Not only is the
theater given a special place in the program of the Protocols, but it is the
instant ally night by night and week by week of any idea which the "power
behind the scenes" wishes to put forth. It is not by accident that in
Russia, where they now have scarcely anything else, they still have the
Theater, specially revived, stimulated and supported by Jewish-Bolshevists
because they believe in the Theater just as they believe in the Press; it is
one of the two great means of molding popular opinion.
Not only the "legitimate" stage, so-called, but the motion picture
industry - the fifth greatest of all industries - is also entirely
Jew-controlled; with the natural sequence that the civilized world is
increasingly antagonistic to the trivializing and demoralizing influence of
that form of entertainment as at present managed.
As soon as the Jew gained control of American liquor, we had a liquor
problem with drastic consequences. As soon as the Jew gained control of the
"movies" we had a movie problem, the consequences of which are visible.
It is the peculiar genius of that race to create problems of a moral
character in whatever business they achieve a majority."*
Every night hundreds of thousands of people give from two to three hours
to the Theater, every day literally millions of people give up from 30
minutes to 8 hours to the "Movies"; and this simply means that millions of
Americans every day place themselves voluntarily within range of Jewish
ideas of life, love and labor; within close range of Jewish propaganda,
sometimes cleverly, sometimes clumsily concealed. This gives the Jewish
masseur of the public mind all the opportunity he desires; and his only
protest now is that exposure may make his game a trifle difficult.
The Theater is not only Jewish on its managerial side, but also on its
literary and professional side. More and more plays are appearing whose
author, producer, star and cast are entirely Jewish (vaudeville-music
hall-performers are predominantly Jewish). They are not great plays, they do
not last long. This is natural enough, since the Jewish theatrical interests
are not seeking artistic triumphs, they are not seeking the glory of the
American stage, nor are they striving to develop great actors. Their
interest is solely financial and racial. There is a tremendous Judaizing
movement on. The work is almost complete. The American feel has gone
out of the Theater; a dark, Oriental atmosphere has come instead.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *Writing in the London "Jewish Chronicle," August 6 1948, a Jewish correspondent (Americanus) admits: "Most of the persons who have cudgelled their wits over the problem, have neglected one of the most obvious impacts on American life Jews have made, in the mass entertainment media - radio, films, the stage, night clubs. One might almost say that American culture as a whole has taken on certain Jewish overtones. Then there is Television!
Down to 1885 the American Theater was still in the hands of the
Gentiles; from that year dates the first invasion of Jewish influence. This
date almost coincides with the beginning of the organization and
co-ordination of the Jewish world scheme for domination called Zionism, and
this year marks not only the beginning of the Jewish wedge of control, but
something far more important.
It is not important that theater and music hall managers are now Jews
whereas they were formerly Gentiles. The importance begins with the fact
that with the change of managers there came also a decline in the art and
morals of the stage, and that this decline became accelerated as the Jewish
control became widespread. Jewish control means that everything has been
deliberately and systematically squeezed out of the American Theater except
its most undesirable elements, and these undesirable elements have been
exalted to the highest place of all. The Great Age of the American Theater
is past, the Great Actors have passed, and they have left no successors. A
Hebrew hand fell on the stage, and the natural genius of the stage was not
welcome. A new form of worship was to be established.
"Shakespeare spells ruin," was the utterance of a Jewish manager.
"High-brow stuff" (meaning anything not salacious) is also a Jewish
expression. These two sayings, one appealing to the managerial end, the
other to the public end of the Theater, have formed the epitaph of the
classic era.
The present-day average intelligence appealed to in the Theater does not
rise above 13 to 18 years. "The tired business man" stuff (another Jewish
expression) has treated the theater-going public as if it were composed of
morons. The appeal is frankly to a juvenile type of mind which can easily be
molded to the ideas of the Hebraic theatrical monopoly.
Clean, wholesome, constructive plays - the few that remain - are supported
mainly by the rapidly vanishing race of theatergoers who survive from an
earlier day, and by those younger people whose minds have been shielded by
these survivors from the contamination of the Jewish theater.
The great majority of the present generation has been educated to support
plays of an entirely different type. Tragedy is taboo; the play of
character, with a deeper significance than would delight the mind of a
child, is out of favor; the comic opera has degenerated into a flash of
color and movement - a combination of salacious farce and jazz music,
supplied by a Jewish songwriter (the great purveyors of jazz) and the rage
is for extravaganza and burlesque. The bedroom farce has been exalted into
the first place, the historical drama has given way to fleshly spectacles
set off with overpowering scenic effects, the principal component of which
is an army of girls whose drapery does not exceed five ounces in weight.
Frivolity, sensuality, indecency, appalling illiteracy and endless
platitude are the marks of the degenerate American Theater under Jewish
control.
That, of course, is the real meaning of all the "Little Theater" movements
which have begun in so many cities and towns in the United States. The art
of the drama, having been driven out of the theater by the Jews, is finding
a home in thousands of study circles throughout the country. The people
cannot see real plays; therefore, they read them. The plays that are acted
could not be read at all, for the most part, any more than the words of the
jazz songs can be read; they don't glean anything. The people who want to
see real plays and cannot, because Jewish managers won't produce them, are
forming little dramatic clubs of their own, in barns and churches and
schools. The drama fled from exploiters and has found a home with its
friends.
The major changes which the Jews have made in the theater are four in
number. First, they have elaborated the mechanical side, making human talent
and genius less necessary. They have made the stage "realistic" instead of
interpretative. Great actors needed very little machinery; the men and women
on the pay rolls of the Jewish managers are helpless without machinery. The
outstanding fact about the vast majority of present day performances of any
pretension is that the mechanical part dwarfs and obscures the acting: and
this is the reason - knowing that the Jewish policy is death to talent, the
Jewish producer prefers to put his faith and his money in wood, canvas,
paint, cloth and tinsel. Wood and paint never show contempt for his sordid
ideals and his betrayal of his trust. Thus we have in the theater today
dazzling effects of light and motion - but no ideas. A great many stage
employees, but no actors, drills and dances without end, but no drama. The
Jew has put in the glitter but he has taken out the profounder ideas.
Second, the Jews have introduced Oriental sensuality to the stage. The mark
of the filthy tide has risen until it has engulfed the whole theater. In New
York, where Jewish managers are thicker than they ever will be in Jerusalem,
the limit of theatrical adventures into the realm of the forbidden is being
pushed further and further. The sale of narcotics is illegal, but the
instilling of moral poison is not. The whole atmosphere of "cabaret" and
"midnight frolic" entertainment is of Jewish origin and importation.
Montmarte has nothing at all in the nature of lascivious entertainment that
New York cannot duplicate. But, neither New York nor any other American city
has that Comedie Francaise which strives to counterbalance the evil
of cosmopolitan Paris. Where have the writers for the Stage a single chance
in this welter of sensuousness? Where have the actors of tragic or comic
talent a chance in such productions? It is the age of the chorus girl, a
voluptuous creature whose mental caliber has nothing to do with the concern
of drama, and whose stage life cannot in the very nature of things be a
career.
A third consequence of Jewish domination of the American stage has been
the appearance of the "Star" system, with its advertising appliances. The
Theater is swamped in numerous "stars" that never really rose and certainly
never shone, but which were hoisted high on the advertising walls of the
Jewish theatrical syndicates in order to give the public the impression that
these feeble lanternlights were in the highest heaven of dramatic
achievement. The trick is a department store trick. It is sheer advertising
strategy. Whereas in normal times a discriminating public made the "star" by
their acclaim, nowadays the Jewish managers determine by their
advertisements who the star shall be.
The Jew seeks immediate success in all but racial affairs. In the
breakdown of the Gentile theater, success cannot be too swift for him. The
training of artists takes time. It is far simpler to have the advertisement
bills, the venal critics of the Press, serve as a substitute. The Jewish
manager of the day diverts attention from the dramatic poverty of the
theater by throwing confetti, limbs, lingerie and spangles dazzingly into
the eyes of his audience.
These three disastrous results of Jewish control of the Theater are all
explained by a fourth; the secret of the change is found in the Jewish
passion to commercialize everything it touches. The focus of attention has
been shifted from the Stage to the box office. The banal policy of "give the
public what they want" is the policy of the panderer and not that of
creative genius. It entered the theater with the first Jewish invasion in
1885, when two alert Jews established in New York a so-called booking-agency
and offered to take over the somewhat cumbersome system by which managers of
theaters in the big but distant towns in the country arranged engagements
for the ensuing season. The old process involved extensive correspondence
with producing managers in the East and many local managers were obliged to
spend several months in New York to make up a season's bookings. The
advantage of a central booking concern relieved local managers of much time,
labor and thought, all details were handled for him and his next season's
bookings were arranged for him. In this manner was laid the foundation of
the later day Theatrical Trust. The booking firm which gave birth to the
iron control of the theater was that of Klaw & Erlanger. This is the key to
the whole problem of the decline of the American stage. The rise of the
Theatrical Trust completed the destruction of the personal touch in their
relationship between manager and company. The old "personal" system made
possible the development of genius in accordance with the organic laws which
determine its nurture, growth and fruition.
The fact of Jewish control of the theater is not itself a ground for
complaint. If certain Jews, working separately or in groups, have succeeded
in wrenching this rich business from its former Gentile control, that is
purely a matter of commercial interest. It is precisely on the same footing
as if one group of Gentiles had won the control from another group of
Gentiles. In this, as in other business matters, however, there is the
ethical test of how the control was gained and how it is used.
Society is usually willing to receive the fact of control with equanimity,
providing the control is not used for anti-social purposes.
The fact that the old-time Gentile producing managers usually died poor
while Jewish producing managers wax immensely rich would indicate that the
Gentile managers were better artists and poorer business men than the Jewish
managers. At least poorer business men, perhaps; and in any case working on
a system whose chief object was to produce plays not merely profits.
The advent of Jewish control put the theater on a more commercialized
basis than it had previously known. It really represented applying the Trust
Idea of the theatre before it had been largely applied to industry.
The early control of theaters in strategic cities, the block booking
agencies for artists and productions, and the running out of business of the
independent theaters and stock companies by excessive charges for plays that
had already been used in the regular theaters of the Trust, really served
Jewish interests in another way. The motion picture industry was coming to
the front. It was a Jewish enterprise from the first. There was never any
need to drive the Gentiles out of that, because the Gentiles never had a
chance to get in. Thus the driving out of the independent theater manager
and the stock companies threw the empty theaters over to the "movies" and
the benefit was again confined to a racial group.
The Theatrical Trust, which began as Jewish, was at the beginning of the
twentieth century in full control of the field. It reduced what was
essentially an art to a timeclock, cashregister system, working with the
precision of a well-controlled factory. It suppressed individuality,
initiative, killed off competition, drove out the independent manager and
the natural genius, excluded all but foreign playwrights of established
reputations, fostered the popularity of inferior talent which was
predominantly Jewish, foisted countless "stars" of mushroom growth upon a
helpless public while driving real artists into obscurity; it handled plays,
theaters and actors, like factory products and began a process of
vulgarizing and commercializing everything connected with the theater.
It is quite possible that many who read this are not interested in the
theater, and are, in fact, convinced that the theater and cinema are a
menace. But, what principally makes these things a menace? This - that the
stage and cinema today represent the principal cultural element of 90 per
cent of the people. What the average young person absorbs as to good form,
proper deportment, refinement as contrasted with coarseness, correctness of
speech or choice of words, customs and feelings of other nations, fashion of
clothes, ideas of religion and law, are derived from what is seen at the
cinema and theater. The masses' sole idea of home and life of the rich is
derived from the stage and the movies.
More wrong notions are given, more prejudices created by the Jewish
controlled theater-cinema in one week than can be charged against a serious
study of the Jewish Question in a century. People sometimes wonder where the
ideas of the younger generation come from - this is the answer.
The Jewish control of the public mind was not gained without opposition,
but one by one the defenders of the American tradition were beaten or
surrendered to overwhelming influences. The Jewish Theatrical Trust was
attacked by the Editor of the New York "Dramatic Mirror" as far back
as December 25, 1897. He was the famous dramatic critic Harrison Grey Fiske.
He wrote:
"What then should be expected of a band of adventurers of infamous origin, of no breeding and utterly without artistic taste? Let it be kept in mind that the ruling number of these men who compose the Theatrical Trust are absolutely unfit to serve in any but the most subordinate places in the economy of the stage, and that they ought not to be tolerated even in these places except under a discipline, active, vigorous and uncompromising. Their records are disreputable and in some cases criminal, and their methods are in keeping with their records."
Fiske's article was reprinted in March, 1898. The Jews, of course, acted as one man as is always the case when one Jew is censured for wrong doing or when one group of Jews are exposed for malpractices. All the Jews in the United States came to the rescue of the Theatrical Trust. Pressure was brought to bear on news companies which handled the circulation of magazines in the United States. Leading hotels were induced to withdraw the "Dramatic Mirror" from their news stands. "Mirror" correspondents were refused admittance to theaters controlled by the Trust. Any number of underground influences were set in operation to "get" Fiske and his business.*
EDITOR'S NOTE: *These counter-measures of over 50 years ago in America are readily recognized by alert observers of the present day, when any form of criticism of a Jew or group of Jews is expressed; if anything the weapons used to silence critics are more powerful, because Jewry has become more powerful.
Libel suits were brought against Fiske for gigantic damages for the
strictures he had printed upon the personal characters of members of the
Trust. For once the Trust members came off badly. They were revealed to be a
much lower type of men than the American public had supposed was in charge
of the American theater.
The fight of the dramatic critics, first against the bribery and then
against the bludgeoning of the Theatrical Trust makes a story of which
echoes have frequently come to the public through the Press. Conciliatory at
first, with managers, actors, playwrights and critics, the Trust, as soon as
it gained power, showed its claws beneath the velvet. It had millions of
dollars of the public coming its way, why should it care? Whenever a critic
opposed its methods or pointed out the inferior, coarse and degrading
character of the Trust productions, he was barred from the Trust's theaters,
and local managers were instructed to demand his discharge from his
newspaper. In almost every case the demand was complied with, the papers
being threatened with the loss of advertising. In all the years since, the
Trust has hounded and black-listed critics who tell the truth and have
prevented their employment by newspaper.*
The rage of the day is not plays but playhouses. The theatrical business
entered upon its real estate phase with the coming of the Trust. There is
money in renting chairs at the rate of 1 to 3 dollars an hour. The renting
of chairs is a reality. The Stage has become an illusion, since it came
under the influence and control of a group of former bootblacks, newsboys,
ticket speculators, prize ring habitues, and Bowery characters.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *Since the original "Dearborn Independent" articles were published the critics and columnists of the American Press have become predominantly Jewish, or Jewish controlled.
The public does not see and does not know these gods before whom they
pour their millions yearly, nor does the public know from what Source
theatrical vileness comes. It is painful to listen to fledgling philosophers
discuss the "tendencies of the stage," or expiate learnedly on the "divine
right of Art," to be as flippant and filthy as it pleases, when all the time
the "tendency" and "art" is determined by men whose antecedents would make
Art scream.
The Theatrical Trust does not exist in the form it did ten years ago; it
grew arrogant and bred secret enemies among its own people. A new force
arose, but it was also Jewish. Instead of one, the American people now have
a dual dictatorship of the stage.
It is perfectly natural that the complete Judaization of the theater
should result in its being transformed into the "show business," a mere
matter of trade and barter. The producers are often not equipped culturally
for anything more than the baldest business. They can hire what they want,
mechanics, costumers, painters, writers, musicians. With their gauge of
public taste and their models of action formed upon the race track and the
prize ring; with their whole ideal modeled upon the ambition to pander to
depravity, instead of serving legitimate needs, it is not surprising that
the standards of the Theater should now be at their lowest mark.
The Jewish manager whenever possible employs Jewish actors and actresses.
Gentile playwrights and actors are steadily diminishing in number for want
of a market. The "cover name" conceals from the public that the actors and
actresses who purvey "entertainment" are, in large and growing proportion,
Jewish.
Jews did not invent the art of motion picture photography; they have
contributed next to nothing to its mechanical or technical improvement; they
have not produced any of the great artists, either writers or actors, which
have furnished the screen with its genuine material. Motion photography,
like most other useful things in the world, is of non-Jewish origin. But by
the singular destiny which has made the Jews the greatest cream-skimmers of
the world, the benefit of it has not gone to the originators, but to the
usurpers, the exploiters.
When millions of people crowd through the doors of the movie houses at all
hours of the day and night, literally an unending line of human beings in
every habitable corner of the land, it is worth knowing who draws them
there, who acts on their minds while they quiescently wait in the darkened
theater, and who really controls the massive bulk of human force and ideas
generated and directed by the suggestions of the screen.
Who stands at the apex of this mountain of control? It is stated in the
sentence: The motion picture influence of the United States, of the whole
world, is exclusively under the control, moral and financial, of the Jewish
manipulators of the public mind.
The moral side of the movies' influence is now a world problem. Everybody
who has an active moral sense is convinced as to what is being done and as
to what ought to be done. It is a business that frankly brutalizes taste and
demoralizes morals and should not be permitted to be a law unto itself. But
the propaganda side of the movies does not so directly declare itself to the
public. That the movies are recognized as a tremendous propagandist
institution is proved by the eagerness of all sorts of causes to enlist
them. There is ample evidence that the Jewish promoters have not overlooked
that end of it. This propaganda as at present observed may be described
under the following heads: It consists in silence about the Jew as an
ordinary being. Jews are not shown upon the stage and screen except in
unusually favorable situations. This ill-concealed propaganda of the Jewish
movie picture control is also directed against non-Jewish religions. A
Jewish rabbi is never depicted on the screen in any but the most honorable
attitude. He is clothed with all the dignity of his office and he is made as
impressive as can be. Christian clergymen, as any movie "fan" will readily
recall, are often subjected to all sorts of misrepresentation, from the
comic to the criminal. This attitude is distinctly Jewish. Like many
unlabeled influences in our life, whose sources lead back to Jewish groups,
the object is to break down as far as possible all respectful or considerate
thought about the clergy.
The Catholic clergy very soon made themselves felt in opposition to this
abuse of their priestly dignity, and as a result of their vigorous
resentment the Jew climbed down. You now never see a priest made light of on
the screen. But the Protestant clergyman is still the elongated, snivelling,
bilious hypocrite of anti-Christian caricatures. He is made to justify his
deeds by appeals to "broad" principles - which really kills two birds with
one stone; it degrades the representative of religion in the eyes of the
audience, and at the same time it insidiously inoculates the audience with
the same dangerous ideas. A Hebrew may not be depicted on the screen as the
owner of a sweat shop - though all sweat shop owners are Jews; but you may
make a Christian clergyman anything from a seducer to a safe-cracker - and
get away with it. Remembering what is written in the Protocols, a question
arises. It is written:
"We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the Gentiles by means of education in principles and theories, patently false to us, but which we have inspired."
-- Protocol 9."We have taken good care long ago to discredit the Gentile clergy."
- Protocol 17."It is for this reason that we must undermine faith, eradicate from the minds of the Gentiles the very principles of God and Soul, and replace these conceptions by mathematical calculations and material desires."
-- Protocol 4.
Two possible views are open to choice: one, that this caricature of
representatives of religion is simply that natural expression of a worldly
state of mind; the other, that it is part of a traditional campaign of
subversion. The former is the natural view among uninformed people. It would
be the preferable view, if peace of mind were the object sought. But there
are far too many indications that the second view is justified, to permit of
its being cast aside.
The screen, whether consciously or just carelessly, is serving as a
rehearsal stage for scenes of anti-social menace. There are no uprisings of
revolutions except those that are planned and rehearsed. Revolutions are not
spontaneous uprisings, but carefully planned minority actions. There have
been few popular revolutions. Civilization and liberty have always been set
back by those revolutions which subversive elements have succeeded in
starting. Successful revolution must have a rehearsal. It can be done better
in the motion pictures than anywhere else: this is the "visual education"
such as even the lowest brow can understand. Indeed, there is a distinct
disadvantage in being "high-brow" in such matters. Normal people shake their
heads and pucker their brows and wring their hands, saying, "We cannot
understand it." Of course, they cannot. But if they understood the low-brow,
they would understand it, and very clearly. There are two families in this
world, and on one the darkness dwells.
Reformers, of course, heartily agree with this as far as criminal
portrayals are concerned. Police protest against the technique of killing a
policeman being shown with careful detail on the screen. Business men object
to daily lessons in safe-cracking being given in the pictures. Moralists
object to the art of seduction being made the stock motif no matter what the
subject. They object because they recognize it as evil schooling which bears
bitter fruits in society. This kind of "visual education" is going on; there
is now nothing connected with violent outbreaks which has not been put into
the minds of millions by the agency of the motion pictures. It may be, of
course, a mere coincidence. But coincidences are also realities.
There are other developments in screendom which are worthy of mention. One
is the increasing use of non-Jewish authors to produce Jewish propaganda.
Popular non-Jewish authors' books have been screened by Jewish producers and
they are more effective as such propaganda because they are backed by
non-Jewish names famous in the literary world. How much of it is due to the
authors' desire to enter the field of pro-Semitic propaganda, and how much
of it is due to their* reluctance to refuse amiable suggestions from movie
magnates who have already paid them liberal sums and are likely to pay them
more, is another question.
With the "movie bug" so rampant in the country, it is next to impossible
to supply enough good pictures for the stimulated and artificial demand.
Some people's appetite calls for two or more pictures a day. Shallow pated
women see them in the afternoon and several more at night. With all the
brains and skill of the country engaged on the task it would be impossible
to supply a fresh drama or comedy of quality, hot out of the studios every
hour, like bread. Where the Jewish controllers have overstepped themselves
is here: they have over-stimulated a demand which they are not able to
supply, except with such material as is bound to destroy the demand. Nothing
is more dangerous to the social value of the motion picture business than an
exaggerated appetite for them, and this appetite is whetted and encouraged
until it becomes a mania.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *This has been amply proved in the use made of the cinema to foment the 1939 war, and to intensify the hatreds and spread the malicious lies that grew out of that war.
EDITOR'S NOTE: These views on Jewish influence in the United States were, of course, published before the remarkable development of television, and radio. While that mighty influence is not mentioned in these pages concerning Jewish activities in the United States, it should be added that Jewish control, from the manufacturing to the performing end, is as effective as in other American businesses. Radio-television, as a force in the world-program outlined in this series of articles, probably now takes the first place in the Jewish scheme of things.
The Ninth Protocol --
"In order not to destroy prematurely the Gentile institutions, we have laid our efficient hands on them, and rasped the springs of their mechanism. They were formerly in strict and just order, but we have replaced them with a liberal disorganized and arbitrary administration. We have tampered with Jurisprudence, the franchise, the press, freedom of the person, and, most important of all, education and culture, the cornerstone of free existence.
"We have misled, stupefied and demoralized the youth of the 'Gentiles by means of education in principles and theories patently false to us, but which we have inspired.
"Above existing laws, without actual change but by distorting them through contradictory interpretations, we have created something stupendous in the way of results".
Many people have wondered whence come the waves upon waves of musical
slush that invade decent homes and set the young people of this generation
imitating the drivel of morons. Popular music is a Jewish monopoly.
Jazz is a Jewish creation. The mush, slush, the sly suggestion, the
abandoned sensuousness of sliding notes, are of Jewish origin.
Monkey talk, jungle squeals, grunts and squeaks and gasps suggestive of
calf love are camouflaged by a few feverish notes and admitted in homes
where the thing itself, unaided by scanned music," would be stamped out in
horror. The fluttering music sheets disclose expressions taken directly from
the cesspools of modern capitals, to be made the daily slang, the
thoughtlessly hummed remarks of school boys and girls.
Is it surprising that whichever way you turn to trace the harmful streams
of influence that flow through society, you come upon a group of Jews? In
baseball corruption - a group of Jews. In exploitative finance - a group of
Jews. In theatrical degeneracy - a group of Jews. In liquor propaganda - a
group of Jews. In control of national war policies - a group of Jews. In
control of the Press through business and financial pressure - a group of
Jews. War profiteers, 80 per cent of them - Jews. Organizers of active
opposition to Christian laws and customs - Jews.
In this miasma of so-called popular music, which combines weak-mindedness
with every suggestion of lewdness - again Jews.
The Jewish influence on American music is without doubt regarded as
serious by those who know anything about it. Not only is there a growing
protest against the Judaization of our few great orchestras, but there is a
strong reaction from the racial collusion which fills the concert stage and
popular platform with Jewish artists to the exclusion of all others. If they
were superior artists, nothing against it could be said; they are only
better known and racially favored in Jewish musical circles.
"Let me make a nation's songs and I care not who makes the laws," said
one; in this country the Jews have had a very large hand in making both. It
is the purpose of this article to put people in possession of the truth
concerning the moron music which they habitually hum and sing and shout day
and night, and if possible to help them to see the invisible Jewish baton
which is waved above them for financial and propaganda purposes. Just as the
American stage and motion picture have fallen under the control of Jews and
their art-destroying commercialism, so the business of handling "popular
songs" has become a Yiddish industry. The Jews who captured it in the early
days of exploitation were for the most part Russian-born Jews, some of whom
had personal pasts which were as unsavory as the past of many Jewish
theatrical and movie leaders have been exposed to be.
In the early 1920's, Irving Berlin, Leo Feist and other officers of seven
music publishing corporations in New York, were charged with violating the
Sherman anti-Trust law in a suit brought by the United States Government.
The defendants, it was alleged, controlled 80% of the available copyrighted
songs used by manufacturers of phonographs, player piano rolls and other
musical reproducing instruments, and fixed prices at which the records or
rolls were to be sold to the public. The corporations involved in the action
were the Consolidated Music Corporation; Irving Berlin, Inc.; Francis, Day
and Hunter, Inc.; Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.; Watterson, Berlin & Snyder,
Inc.; and M. Witmark & Sons, Inc. - all of New York. The agreement which the
United States Government sought to dissolve was alleged to provide that the
defendants would make contracts only through the Consolidated Music
Corporation which they had organized. The other 20% of the song business was
controlled by other Jewish music houses not included in that special group.
Jews did not create the popular song; they debased it. The time of the
entry of Jews into control of the popular song is the exact time when the
morality of popular songs began to decline. The "popular" song, before it
became a Jewish industry, was really popular. The people sang it and had no
reason to conceal it. The popular song today is often so questionable a
composition that performers with a vestige of decency must appraise their
audience before they sing. Citizens of adult age will remember the stages
through which the popular song has passed during recent decades. War songs
persisted after the Civil War and were gradually intermingled with songs of
a later time, picturesque, romantic, clean. The same and similar songs and
ballads had a brief revival during World War I. These were not the product
of song-factories, but the creation of individuals whose gifts were given
natural expression. These individuals did not work for combines of
publishers but for the satisfaction of their work, for individual artists of
the music-hall stage. There were no great fortunes made out of songs, but
there were many satisfactions in having pleased the public taste. The public
taste, like every other taste, craves what it is given most to feed upon.
Public taste is public habit. The public is blind to the source of that upon
which it lives, and it adjusts itself to the supply. Public taste is raised
or lowered as the quality of its pabulum improves or degenerates.
In a quarter of a century, given all the avenues of publicity like
theater, movie, popular song, newspapers and radio - in the meantime having
thrown the mantle of contempt over all counter-active moral agencies - you
can turn out nearly the kind of public you want. It takes just about a
quarter of a century to do the job.
In other days the people sang as they do now, but not in such doped
fashion nor with such bewildered continuity. They sang because they wished
to, not as an uncontrolled habit. They sang songs nonsensical, sentimental,
heroic, but the "shady" songs were outlawed. The old songs come readily back
to memory. Though years have intervened since they were the fashion, yet
their quality was such that they do not die. The popular song of last month
- who knows its name? But there are songs of long ago whose titles are
familiar even to those who have not sung them. What margin did these songs
leave for the suggestive and for the unvrholesomely emotional? Sentiment was
not lacking, but it was unobjectionable sentiment. Then came the Jews; the
popular song underwent a change. An entirely new crop of titles appeared
dealing with an entirely different series of subjects than the songs they
displaced. Talented singers, tuneful singing vanished. The Jew and the
African period, being the entrance of the jungle motif, the so-called
"Congo" stuff, and other compositions which swiftly degenerated into a
rather more bestial type than the beasts themselves arrive at. Running
alongside this swamp strain was the "ragtime" style of music which was a
development of the legitimate Negro minstrelsy. Lyrics disappeared before
the numerous "cake-walk" songs that deluged the public ear. Seductive
syncopation swamped the harmony of the real song. Minstrelsy took on a new
life; glamorous youths mutter dirges in low monotones, voluptuous females
with grossly seductive gestures moan nasal notes no real musician can
recognize. "Piano acts" were made the rage; "jazz bands" made their
appearance. By insensible gradations now easily traceable through the litter
of songs with which recent decades are strewn, we have been able to see the
decline in the popular song supply. Sentiment has been turned into sensuous
suggestion. Romance has been turned into eroticism. The popular musical lilt
slid into ragtime and ragtime has been superseded by jazz and crooning. Song
topics became lower and lower until at last they are the dredges of the
slimy bottom of the underworld.
The first self-styled "King of Jazz" was a Jew named "Frisco." The general
directors of the whole downward trend have been Jews. It needed just their
touch of cleverness to camouflage the moral filth and raise it half a degree
above that natural stage where it begets nothing but disgust.
In this business of making the people's songs the Jews have shown as
usual, no originality but much adaptability - which is a charitable term
used to cover plagiarism, which in its turn politely covers the crime of
mental pocket-picking. The Jews do not create; they take what others have
done, give it a clever twist, and exploit it. Plagiarism is the result of
mediocre artists being spurred on by non-artistic promoters to produce
something that can be dressed up with sufficient attractiveness to draw the
public's money. The Jews bought up all the old song books, opera scores,
collections of folk songs, and, if you stop to analyze some of the biggest
"hits" of the early days of the Yiddish song manufacturing Trust, you will
find they are woven on the motif and melody of the clean songs of the
pre-swamp era. The music jazzed and swung out of recognition, the sentiment
sensualized very much, and pushed upon their smutty road across the world.
Because of absolute Jewish control of the song market, both in publishing
and in theatrical performance, it is next to impossible for anything but a
Jewish song to be published in the United States, or if published, to get a
hearing. The proof of this is in the fact that the Yiddish trust owns all
the business and the so-called "song-hits" all bear Jewish names.
The insidiousness of the Jewish menace to our artistic integrity is due
partly to the speciousness, the superficial charm and oriental
persuasiveness of Hebrew art, its glitter, its violently juxtaposed extremes
of passion, its poignant eroticism and pessimism, and partly to the fact
that the strain in us which might make head against it, the deepest, most
fundamental strain in our nature is diluted and confused by a hundred other
tendencies of the Jewish age. The Anglo-Saxon group of qualities and the
AngloSaxon point of view, are the vital nucleus of the American temper. The
Jewish domination of our music threatens to submerge and stultify them at
every point.
America does not sing what it likes, but what the vaudeville "song-pluggers"
popularize by repeated renditions, until the flabby minds of the audiences
begin to repeat it on the streets.
The "song-pluggers" of theater, vaudeville and radio, are the paid agents
of the Yiddish song agencies. Money, and not merit, dominates the spread of
the moron music which is styled Jewish jazz and swing. Non-Jewish music is
stigmatized as "high-brow." The people are fed from day to day on the moron
suggestiveness that flows in a slimy flood out of "Tin-Pan-Alley," the head
factory of filth in New York which is populated by the "Abies," the "Izzies,"
and the 'Moes" who make up the composing staffs of the various institutions.
"Tin-Pan-Alley" is the name given to the region in Twenty-eighth street,
between Broadway and Sixth Avenue, where the first Yiddish song
manufacturers began business. Flocks of young girls who thought they could
sing, and others who thought they could write song poems, came to the
neighborhood allured by the dishonest advertisements that promised more than
the budding Yiddish promoters could fulfill. Needless to say, scandal became
rampant, as it always does when so-called "Gentile" girls are reduced to the
necessity of seeking favors from the Jew. It was the constant shouting of
voices, the hilarity of "parties," the banging of pianos and the blaring of
trombones that gave the district the name of "Tin-Pan-Alley." All America is
now one great Tin-Pan-Alley, its entertainment, its youth, its politics, a
blare of moronic Judaism.
The diabolical cunning with which an unclean atmosphere is created and
sustained through all classes of society and by the same influence, will not
be overlooked by any observer. There is something Satanic about it,
something calculated with demonic shrewdness.
And the stream flows on and on, growing worse and worse, to the
degradation of the non-Jewish public and the increase of Jewish fortunes.
Ministers, educators, reformers, parents, citizens are amazed at the
growth of looseness among the people, and rail at the evil results. They see
the evil product and they attack the product. They rail at the young people
who go in for this eroticism and suggestiveness. They deplore the sexual
license, the delinquency and the infantilism of the younger people. But all
this has a source! Why not attack the source? When a nation is bathed
in sights, sounds and ideas of a certain character, drenched in them and
drowned in them, by systematic, deliberate, organized intent, the point of
attack should be the cause, not the effect.
Yet, that is precisely where the point of attack has not been made,
presumably because of lack of knowledge, possibly because of fear.
It is little use blaming the people. The people are what they are made.
Give the liquor business full sway and you have a population that drinks and
carouses. The population could be turned into drug addicts if the same
freedom was given to the illicit narcotic ring as is now given to the
Yiddish popular song manufacturers. In such a condition it would be stupid
to attack the addicts; common sense would urge the exposure of the
panderers.
A dreadful narcotizing of moral modesty and the application of powerful
aphrodisiacs have been involved in the present craze for crooning songs - a
stimulated craze. The victims are everywhere. But too few of the opponents
of this moral poison see the futility of scolding the young people thus
diseased.
Common sense dictates a cleaning out, and a clearing out, of the sources
of the disease. The source is in the Yiddish group of song manufacturers who
control the whole output and who are responsible for the whole matter from
poetry to profits.
Next to the moral indictment against the so-called "popular" song is
the indictment that it is not popular. There is no spontaneous
popularity, public taste is not so discriminating. It is artificial
popularity by constant plugging. It is a mere mechanical drumming on the
minds of the public. It is flung at them at every movie and from every
stage. It is advertised in flaring posters, gramophone records shriek forth
day and night, dance bands plug it, radios plug it, and by sheer dint of
repetition and suggestion the song catches on - until it is replaced by
another. It is the old game of changing the styles to speed up business and
make the people buy. Nothing lasts in the Yiddish game - styles of clothing,
movies nor songs; it is always something "new" to stimulate the flow of
money from the popular pocket into the moron music makers' coffers.
Two facts about the "popular" song are known to all: first, that for the
most part it is indecent and the most active agent of moral miasma in the
country, or if not the most active, then neck and neck with the "movies";
second, that the "popular" song industry is an exclusively Jewish
industry.
There is work here for the Anti-Defamation League! That League knows how
to put the screws on anyone who disparages the Jews! From important
publishers down to inconsequential country newspapers, the Anti-Defamation
League makes itself felt. There is work for it in the movies and the theater
and popular song industries. Why does not the League put the screws on those
Jews who have degenerated the movies and debauched the people in their
"arts," sports, and entertainments? On those who have brought shame on the
racial name? Why not? Is the answer that only non-Jews are to be controlled,
and Jews let to run loose? Is the answer that the gentle Gentiles can be
curbed as by bridle and bit and the Jews cannot? American Jewry is
desperately afraid of opening a single seam in its armour by means of a
single investigation or reform. They are afraid of how far the fire of
correction may spread!
The Fourth Protocol --
"To prevent them from really thinking out anything themselves, we shall deflect their attention to amusements, games, pastimes, excitements and people's palaces. Such interests will distract their minds completely from questions on which we might be obliged to struggle with them. Becoming less and less accustomed to independent thinking, people will express themselves in unison with us because we alone offer new lines of thought - of course through persons whom they do not consider as in any way connected with us."
The Jew is the world's enigma. Poor in his masses, yet he controls the
world's finances. Scattered abroad without country or official government,
yet he presents a unity of race continuity which no other people has
achieved. For some centuries living under legal disabilities in almost every
land, he emerged to become the power behind many a throne.
The single description which will include a larger percentage of Jews than
members of any other race is this: he is in business. From the sale of old
clothes to the control of international trade and finance, the Jew is
supremely gifted for business. More than any other race he exhibits a
decided aversion to industrial employment which he balances by an equally
decided adaptability to trade.
The Gentile boy is prepared to work his way up, taking employment in the
productive or technical departments; but the Jewish boy prefers to begin as
a salesman, clerk, anything so long as it is connected with the commercial
side of the business.
In America alone most of the big business, the trusts, the banks, the
natural resources and the chief agricultural products, especially tobacco,
cotton and sugar, are in the control of Jewish financiers or their agents.
Jewish journalists are a large and powerful group here. Large numbers of
department stores are held by Jewish firms, and many of them, if not most,
are run under Gentile names.
Jews are the largest and most numerous landlords of residential property
in the whole country. They are supreme in the entertainment world. They
absolutely control the circulation of publications throughout the country.
More powerful than any race among us, they receive a daily amount of
favorable publicity which would be impossible did they not have the
facilities for creating and distributing it themselves.
Werner Sombart, a pro-Jewish writer, in his "Jews and Modern Capitalism,"
says:
"If the conditions in America continue to develop along the same lines as in the last generation, if the immigration statistics and the same proportion of births among all the nationalities remain the same, our imagination may picture the United States of 50 or 100 years hence as a land inhabited only by Slavs, Negroes and Jews, wherein the Jew will naturally occupy the position of economic leadership."
The Jew is the only original internationalist capitalist, but as a rule he prefers not to emblazon that fact upon the skies; the arresting fact about the Jew is his world wide unchallenged power coupled with comparative numerical inferiority.
The claim made for the Jews that they are a sober race may be true,
but that has not obscured two facts concerning them; namely, that they
usually constitute the liquor dealers of countries where they live in
numbers, and that in the United States they were the only race exempted from
the operations of the Prohibition Law. In general, the Jews are on the side
of liquor and always have been. They are the steadiest drinkers of all.
That is why they were able to secure exemption from the Prohibition Laws;
their religious ceremonies require them to drink an amount which the law
considered equal to 10 gallons a year. So the Prohibition Law of the United
States - which was a part of the Constitution of the United States - was
made legally ineffective to the extent of 10 gallons a year to a Jew. Racial
privilege? No, the Jews did not raise that scare then, during the profitable
Prohibition era. They knew it was easy to get 100 gallons through a 10
gallon loophole. In fact, millions of gallons of bootleg liquor came through
that 10 gallon loophole.
It came as a surprise to the American people that the liquor business of
the world had been in the hands of the Jews. In the United States the liquor
business was almost exclusively in the hands of Jews for 25 years prior to
Prohibition; during the period, in fact, when the liquor trade was giving
point and confirmation to the more extreme Prohibition arguments!
In the volume, "The Conquering Jew," published by Funk & Wagnalls Company
in 1916, John Foster Fraser writes:
"The Jews are masters of the whisky trade in the United States. Eighty per cent of the members of the National Liquor Dealers' Association are Jews. It has been shown that sixty per cent of the business of distilling and wholesale trade in whisky is in the hands of Jews. As middle men they control the wine product of California. Jews visit the tobacco-growing States and buy up nearly all the leaf tobacco, so that the great tobacco companies have to buy the raw product from them. The Jews have a grip on the cigar trade."
It was also true of Europe, especially in Russia, Rumania and Poland. The Jewish Encyclopedia states that
"The establishment of the government liquor monopoly (in Russia in 1896) deprived thousands of Jewish families of a livelihood."
They controlled the liquor traffic, the vodka business which undermined Russia. In Rumania the whole "Jewish Question" was the liquor question. In Poland the same was true. In the United States whisky also became Jewish in the 19th century.
An alcoholic spirit from grain may be made in any climate and by many methods. Neutral spirits, high wines and alcohol, are not indigenous anywhere. They can be made in any back room or cellar, in a very little time. Little care is required. A concoction of drugs and spirits, colored and flavored, fraudulently labeled "whisky" and passed over the bar, is a crime against distilling, against the human nervous system, and against society. As far back as 1904, Dr. Wiley, then chief of the United States Bureau of Chemistry, had a great deal to say about this. Few paid any attention to him because he did not point out that the evil he was attacking was fostered by a single class of men bent on gain at the cost of ruin to an American industry and to countless thousands of American citizens. The public supposed that Dr. Wiley was discussing a technical matter which interested American distillers only. It might have vastly interested the American citizens if anyone had but had the clear vision and the courage to expose the great Jewish whisky conspiracy.
The Jewish character of the whisky business since as far back as the
Civil War may be visualized by the simple expedient of noting how many of
the better known brands have at various dates come under Jewish control. It
is an alarming list. Any citizen in any city of any size will have no
trouble in confirming the statement that most of the rectifiers and
wholesalers and brokers in the whisky trade of his city were, and still are,
Jews. It is not only the fact that the liquor business is controlled by Jews
that assumes importance, but it is in the additional fact that there was
spread over America the machinery of a vicious system which while it was
destined to ruin the liquor business, also ruined hundreds of thousands of
citizens who trusted that "pure and unadulterated" meant what the words were
intended to convey. Of course the stuff was "pure and unadulterated." So is
carbolic acid - but it is not whisky.
Prohibition came sweeping the saloon away, but not depriving the Jewish
compounder of his profits. Prohibition was swept away but the booze rackets
remained.
In "Collier's Weekly," during the year 1908, solid truths
appeared, which are in point today as proofs of what was transpiring.
"Collier's Weekly" was the first journal in the land to print the names
of Jews in connection with the liquor debauchery of the country. Even so, it
had been going on a very long time. There was a specially scathing attack on
what was called "Nigger gin," a peculiarly vile beverage which was
compounded to act upon the Negro in a most vicious manner. The author, Will
Irwin, spoke of this gin as
"The king iniquity in the degenerated liquor traffic of these United
States."
This author and Collier's started a new fashion in giving publicity
not only to the names of certain brands of liquors, but also the names of
the men who made them - all were Jews! The maker of one brand of "nigger
gin" which had spurred certain Negroes on to the nameless crime, was one Lee
Levy. Mr. Irwin detailed some of his experiences investigating the gin sold
by a number of companies, all bearing Jewish names. The gin was cheap, its
labels bore lascivious suggestions and were decorated with highly indecent
portraiture of white women. "I never saw it in any saloon which bars the
Negro," he wrote. Widely sold brands of cheap, noxious gins and other
liquors, made by and brazenly sold under Jewish names, caused newspaper and
police comments upon the peculiar lawlessness among negroes. With reference
to the Negro Question, "nigger gin," the product of Jewish poisoned liquor
factories, was its most provocative element.
The date of the appearance of this gin on the United States market is the
period when Negro outbursts and subsequent lynchings became serious. The
localities where this gin was sold are those where the disorders prevailed.
The ancient Jewish policy of Divide-Conquer-Destroy tells the story of
the liquor traffic. Jewish influence divided between distilling and
compounding, drove out distilling, and in the end destroyed the traffic as a
legalized entity - opening the way for the mass-organized bootlegger,
gangster, and the lawlessness which created today's evil world.
It is extremely simple, so simple that it is overlooked. "Divide and
Conquer," is the formula as the Jewish leaders conceive it, as, indeed, it
is stated in the Protocols. The public is being constantly deceived by an
appearance of complexity, where there is none. When you find the
fever-bearing mosquito, yellow-fever is no longer a mystery. That which
succumbs to complete Judaization, as Jewish leaders conceive it, may deserve
to fall. The justification of its destruction may appear in the possibility
of its Judaization.
The maintenance of the idea of drink in the minds of the people is
due to Jewish propaganda. There is not a dialogue on the stage or screen
that does not drip of drink patter. The idea of the abuse of drink will be
maintained by means of the Jewish stage, Jewish jazz and Jewish comics,
until somebody comes down hard upon it as being incentive of treason.
There are men in the United States who say that baseball has received
its death wound and is dying out of the lists of respectable sports. There
are other men who say that American baseball can be saved if a clean sweep
is made of the Jewish influence which has dragged it through a period of
bitter shame and demoralization.
Whether baseball as a first-class sport is killed and will survive only as
a cheap-jack entertainment; or whether baseball possesses sufficient
intrinsic character to rise in righteous wrath and cast out the danger that
menaces it, will remain a matter of various opinion. But there is one
certainty, namely, that the last and most dangerous blow dealt baseball was
curiously notable for its Jewish character.
Baseball is a trivial matter compared with some of the facts that are
waiting publication, yet is it possible to see the operation of the Jewish
Idea in baseball as clearly as in any other field. The process is the same,
whether in war or politics, in finance or in sports.
To begin with, the Jews are not sportsmen. This is not set down in
complaint against them, but merely as analysis. It may be a defect in their
character, or it may not; it is nevertheless a fact which discriminating
Jews unhesitatingly acknowledge. Whether this is due to their physical
lethargy, their dislike of unnecessary physical action, or their cast of
mind, others may decide; the Jew is not naturally an out-of-door sportsman;
if he takes up golf it is because his station in society calls for it, not
that he really likes it; and if he goes in for collegiate athletics, as some
of the younger Jews are doing, it is because so much attention has been
called to their neglect of sports that the younger generation thinks it
necessary to remove that occasion of remark.
And yet, the bane of American sports is the presence of a certain type of
Jew, not as a participant but as an exploiter and corrupter. There is a very
full case made out in justification of the use of the terms "exploiter" and
"corrupter" with regard to baseball. But it would be just as easy to make
out the same sort of case with regard to wrestling and horse racing and
professional pugilism. Wrestling is so completely ruled by Jews as to have
become an outlawed sport. The story of wrestling is not only the story of
demoralization of a sport but also the story of wholesale defrauding of the
public. The same is true of horse-racing. The whole atmosphere of the sport
is dishonest. The horses remain the only well-bred creatures connected with
it.
Yet why should the art of breeding and training and testing fine horses be
debasing? Only because a certain class saw in it a chance to play on the
weakness of men for the sake of gain.
That explains the presence of the Jew in modern sports and it also
explains why the Jewish Idea in sports, instead of being preservative, is
corruptive. The Jew saw money where the sportsman saw fun and skill. The Jew
set out to capitalize rivalry and to commercialize contestant zeal. It would
seem to be high time that organized Jewry should undertake to control or
repudiate those Jews who have been most instrumental in corrupting and
nearly destroying our cleanest, most manly public sports.
It is worth noting that in Chicago, where the Jewish Anti-Defamation
League has its headquarters, there was not a word of reproof sent out from
Jews to the Jewish culprits chiding them for their activities. Not a word.
But at the same time the pressure of the Anti-Defamation League was heavy on
the whole American newspaper press to prevent the public statements that
the whole baseball scandal was a Jewish performance from beginning to end.
Heavy Jewish betting, the bribing of players, the buying of clubs, the
cheating of the public, has been proved time and again in American courts.
All along the line of investigation into sporting scandals the names of Jews
are plentifully sprinkled.
If "fans" wish to know the trouble with American baseball, they have it in
three words - too much Jew. "Gentile fronts"' may rant out their parrot-like
pro-Jewish propaganda, the fact is that a sport is clean and helpful until
it begins to attract Jewish investors and exploiters and then it goes bad.
The two facts have occurred in pairs too frequently in America and under too
many dissimilar circumstances to have their relationship doubted. There are
no variations on the Jewish corruption of American sports, principally
baseball, racing, boxing and wrestling. In the fixing of results, the
swindling of gamblers, the staging of frauds, the rottenness has been
discovered between the Jewish investors and the venal contestants.
It should be emphasized that the principal Jewish abuses are
nation-wide. This was shown in the United States Government's
investigation of the White Slave Traffic; the bootlegging business,
racetrack gambling, baseball pools - all a national network for the catching
of "suckers." There is nothing unusual in this Jewish activity - from the
clever "high-ups" to the degenerate "low-downs"; they are all part of a
national group. They are part of the national machinery organized and
operated for the purpose of separating "Gentile boobs" from their money.
If there were no "Gentile boobs," or if the "Gentile boob" would only take
a straight look at the man behind the nationwide spiderweb, the gamblers and
the Jewish sport-purveyors would be in another kind of business; with
perhaps less money to flaunt in the faces of honest people.
Years before the public scandals broke, the Jew had crowded into all the
lucrative sports; he remains in control of them, but only on the commercial
side, seldom if ever in sympathy with sport as a real sportsman. The Jews
are not even real gamblers, they are not sportsmen enough to gamble; they
are the "sure-thing" men. The "Gentile boobs" who walk into their traps are
the people who provide the money. Even in the field of money the Jew is not
a sport - he is a gangster, ringing a gang of his ilk round him.
Wrestling is so tightly controlled by Jewish managers that a real
wrestler is absolutely barred out, for fear he will be able to show that the
handful of wrestlers hired by the Jewish Sports Trust are not wrestlers at
all, but only impositions on the good nature of the public. The rottenness
of the ancient sport of clean wrestling has surfaced in such disgusting
orgies as "all in" and "mud" wrestling and, lately, wrestling contests
between screaming viragos of the female sex. Wrestling is as much a Jewish
business controlled in its every part as the manufacture of clothing.
Despite unending graft scandals baseball is still America's Number One
sport. It cannot be killed as a business; it will always draw a gang
on an afternoon, particularly a Sunday afternoon. It can be pepped up and
"Jazzed" up to make it quite a show. But it can, it is being, killed as a
sport, and those who value the game as a sport should wish its utter
destruction rather than consent that it become the rendezvous for the gang
that now fill the Jew-controlled burlesque houses. Baseball as a business
has become a danger in American life, a mob center, a hang-out for the
disorderly and criminal classes, as the racetrack and boxing ring have long
since been.
The disease is caused by the Jewish characteristic which spoils everything
by ruthless commercial exploitation. The disease may be too far gone for any
cure.
The Ninth Protocol --
"People of all opinions and all doctrines are at our service, restorers of monarchy, demagogues, Socialists, Communism and other Utopians. We have put them all to work. Every one of them from his point of view is undermining the last remnant of authority, is trying to overthrow all existing order. All the governments have been tormented by these actions. But we will not give them peace until they recognize our super-government."
The Tenth Protocol --
"When we introduced the poison of liberalism into the government organism, its entire political complexion changed."
Anyone who essays to discuss the Jewish Question in the United States
or anywhere else must be fully prepared to be regarded as "anti-Semite," a
"Jew-baiter." Nor need encouragement be looked for from politicians, people
or Press. The people who are awake to the subject at all prefer to wait and
see how it all turns out. There is a vague feeling that to use the word
"Jew" openly, or to expose it nakedly in print, is somehow improper. Polite
evasions like "Hebrew" and "Semite" (both of which are subject to the
criticism of inaccuracy) are timidly assayed, and people pick their way
gingerly as if the whole subject were forbidden, until some courageous
thinker comes along with the word "Jew," and then the constraint is relieved
and the air cleared.
The word "Jew" is not an epithet; it is a name, ancient and descriptive,
with a significance for every period of human history, past, present and to
come.
The chief difficulty in writing about the Jewish Question is the
super-sensitiveness of Jews and non-Jews concerning the whole matter. There
is probably not a newspaper in America, and certainly none of the
advertising mediums which are called magazines, which would have the
temerity even to breathe seriously the fact that such a Question exists. The
Press in general is open to fulsome editorials in favor of everything
Jewish, while the Jewish Press, which is numerous in the United States,
takes care of the vituperative end.
The idea seems to be fixed in the Jew by inheritance that any public
discussion of the Jewish Question is organized and inspired by a Jew-hater.
That idea is sought to be fixed in the Gentile by propaganda; that any
writing which does not simply cloy and drip sirrupy sweetness towards things
Jewish is born of prejudice and hatred. It is, therefore, "full of lies,
insult, insinuation, and constitutes an instigation to massacre." These
terms can be found in current Jewish editorials.
Anti-Semitism is a term which is bandied about too loosely. If it
continues to be used indiscriminately and vituperatively about all who
attempt to discuss Jewish characteristics and Jewish world-power, it will,
in time, arrive at the estate of respectability and honor. It may be a
useful clearing of the ground to define what anti-Semitism is not.
1. It is not a recognition of the Jewish Question. If it were, then it
could be set down that the bulk of the American people are destined to
become anti-Semites, for they are beginning to recognize the existence of a
Jewish Question and will steadily do so in increasing numbers as the
Question is forced on them from the various practical angles of their lives.
The Question is here. We may be honestly blind to it. We may be timidly
silent about it. We may even make dishonest denial of it. But it is here and
in time all will have to recognize it. In time the polite "hush, hush," of
over-sensitive or intimidated circles will not be powerful enough to
suppress it.
But to recognize that Question will not mean that we have gone over
to a national campaign of hatred and enmity against the Jews. It will only
mean that a stream of tendency which has been flowing through our
civilization has at last accumulated bulk and power enough to challenge
attention, to call for some decision with regard to it, to call for the
adoption of a policy which will not repeat the mistakes of the past and yet
forestall any possible menace of the future.
2. The public discussion of the Jewish Question is not "anti-Semitism."
Publicity is sanitary. But the kind of publicity given to certain aspects of
the Jewish Question in this country has been very misleading. It has been
discussed more fully in the Jewish Press than elsewhere, but not with candor
or breadth of vision. The two dominant notes - sounded over and over again
with monotonous regularity - are Gentile unfairness and Christian prejudice.
It is fortunate for the Jews generally that the Jewish Press does not
circulate very widely among Gentiles, for it is probably the one established
agency in the United States which, without altering its program in the
least, could stir up anti-Jewish sentiment by the very simple expedient of a
general reading among non-Jews. Jewish writers writing for Jewish readers
present unusual material for the study of race consciousness and its
accompaniment of contempt for other races.
On the side of the daily Press, there has been no serious discussion at
all. When it mentions the Jews, it has stock complimentary phrases for the
purpose. The publicity given to the Question in this country consists in
misrepresentative criticism of the Gentiles by the Jewish Press, and
misrepresentative praise of the Jews by the non-Jewish Press. An independent
effort to give constructive publicity cannot, therefore, be laid to
anti-Semitism, even when some of the statements which are made in the course
of it arouse resentment of Jewish readers.
3. Nor is it anti-Semitism to say that the suspicion is abroad in every
capital of civilization, and the certainty is firmly held by a number of
important men, that there is active in the world a plan to control the
world, not by territorial acquisition, not by military aggression, not by
governmental subjection, not even by economic control in the scientific
sense, but by control of the machinery of commerce and exchange. It is not
anti-Semitism to say that, nor to present the evidence which supports that,
nor to bring the proof of that. Those who could best disprove it, if it were
not true, are the International Jews themselves, but they have not disproved
it.
Because it is here, and because its emergence into public thought
should contribute to its solution, and not to a continuance of those bad
conditions which surround the Question in almost every country. The Jewish
Question has existed in the United States for a very long time. Jews
themselves have known it, even if Gentiles have not. There have been periods
in our own country when it has broken forth with a sullen sort of strength
which presaged dark things to come. Many signs portend that it is
approaching an acute stage.
Not only does the Jewish Question touch those matters that are common
knowledge, such as finance and commercial control, usurpation of political
power, monopoly of necessities, and autocratic direction of the very news
that the American people read; but it reaches into cultural regions and so
touches the very heart of American life. The Question reaches down to South
America and threatens to become an important factor in Pan-American
relations. It is interwoven with much of the menace of organized and
calculated disorder which troubles the nations today. It is not of recent
growth, but its roots go deep, and the long Past of the Problem is
counterbalanced by prophetic hopes and programs which involve a very
deliberate and creative view of the future.
Their heritage of tolerance has something to do with the extreme
nervousness about public discussion of the Jewish Question on the part of
many Gentiles, but perhaps their instinctive sense of the difficulty
involved has more to do with it. The Gentile attitude is best expressed by
the desire for silence - "Why discuss it at all?" Such an attitude is itself
proof that here is a Problem we would evade if we could. Why discuss it at
all? - the keen thinker clearly sees in the implications of such a question,
the existence of a Problem whose discussion or suppression will not always
be within the choice of easy-going minds.
Wherever you read of the Jewish Question being resolutely approached in
the history of countries which have ever tackled it, wherever you go in the
world today - in any country where the Jewish Question has come to the
forefront as a vital issue, you will discover that the principal cause
is the outworking of the Jewish genius to achieve the power of
control. Here in the United States is the fact of this remarkable
minority attaining in 50 years a degree of control that would be impossible
to a ten times larger group of any other race. That creates the Jewish
Question here.
No similar minority of any people would occasion comment, because we would
not meet with a representative of them wherever we went in high places - in
the innermost secrecy of the councils of the Big Four at Versailles*; in the
United States Supreme Court; in the councils of the White House; in the vast
dispositions of world finance - wherever there is power to get or use. We
meet the Jew everywhere in the upper circles, literally everywhere where
there is power. And that is where the Jewish question begins - in very
simple terms - How does the Jew so habitually and so resistlessly gravitate
to the highest places? Who puts him there? Why is he put there? What
does he do there? What does the fact of his being there mean to the
world? THAT is the Jewish Question in its origin. From these points it
goes on to others, and whether the trend becomes pro-Jewish or anti-Semitic
depends on the amount of prejudice brought to the inquiry, and whether it
becomes pro-Humanity depends on the amount of insight and intelligence.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The original was published in June, 1920. The comment is even more applicable to the present United Nations setup; a more formidable organization because of its greater power through American membership.
The use of the word Humanity in connection with the word "Jew" usually
throws a side meaning which may not be intended. In this connection it is
usually understood that humanity ought to be shown toward the Jew. There is
just as great an obligation upon the Jew to show his humanity toward the
whole human race.
The Jew has been too long accustomed to think himself as exclusively the
claimant on the humanitarianism of society; society has a large claim
against him that he cease his exclusiveness, that he cease exploiting the
world, that he cease making Jewish groups the end and all of his gains, and
that he begins to fulfill, in a sense his exclusiveness has never yet
enabled him to fulfill, the ancient prophecy he boasts that through him all
the nations of the earth should be blessed.
The Jew cannot go on forever fulfilling the role of suppliant for the
world's humanitarianism, he must himself show that quality to a society
which seriously suspects his higher and more powerful groups of exploiting
it with a pitiless rapacity, which in its wide-flung and long-drawn-out
distress may be described as an economic pogrom against a rather helpless
humanity.
There has been used in this series the term "International Jew." It is
susceptible of two interpretations; one, the Jew wherever he may be; the
other, the Jew who exercises international control.
The real contention of the world is with the latter and his satellites,
whether Jew or Gentile. This International type of Jew, this grasper after
world-control, this actual possessor and wielder of world-control is a very
unfortunate connection for his race to have. And the significance of this
is that this type does not grow anywhere else than on a Jewish stem.
There is no other racial or national type which puts forth this kind of
person.
It is not merely that there are a few Jews among international financial
controllers; it is that these world-controllers are exclusively Jews.
Since world-control is an ambition which has only been achieved by Jews, and
not by any of the methods usually adopted by would-be world-conquerors, it
becomes inevitable that the question should center in that race.
It is not the point to insist that in any list of rich men there are often
more Gentiles than Jews; we are not talking about merely rich men who have,
many of them, gained their riches by serving a System, we are talking about
those who control - and it is perfectly apparent that merely to be
rich is not to control. The world-controlling Jew has riches, but he also
has something much more powerful than that.
The International Jew rules not because he is rich, but because in a most
marked degree he possesses the commercial and masterful genius of his race,
and avails himself of a racial loyalty and solidarity the like of which
exists in no other human group. He rules, at the top of affairs in every
country worth while, by virtue of certain qualities which are inherent in
the Jewish nature. Every Jew has these qualities even if not in the supreme
sense, just as every Englishman has Shakespeare's tongue but not in
Shakespeare's degree. And thus it is impracticable, if not impossible, to
consider the International Jew without laying the foundations broadly upon
Jewish character and psychology.
We may discount at once the too common accusation that this greater form
of Jewish success is built upon dishonesty. It is impossible to indict the
whole Jewish people or any other on a wholesale charge. No one knows better
than the Jew how widespread is the belief that Jewish methods of business
are all unscrupulous. There is no doubt a possibility of a great deal of
unscrupulousness existing without actual legal dishonesty, but it is
altogether possible that the reputation the Jewish people have long borne in
this respect may have had other sources than actual and persistent
dishonesty. To indicate one of these possible sources: The Jew at trade is
naturally quicker than most other men. It is said that there are other races
which are as nimble at a trade as is the Jew, but the Jew does not live much
among them. Now, it is human nature for the man with slower, easy-going
traditions to believe that the quicker man is too deft by far, and to become
suspicious of his deftness. The slower mind is likely to conceive that the
man who sees so many legitimate twists and turns to a trade, may also see
and use a convenient number of illegitimate twists and turns. The Jews, as
the records show for centuries, were a keen people in trade. The nimble
eagerness of the Jew for trade bustled into the midst of trade traditions,
he broke them all wherever he went. He went after trade, the old
leisurely tradition was to make trade come to the trader. Everyone suspects
the "sharp" fellow even though his sharpness may be entirely honest. A man
who would break trade traditions would stop at nothing ! The Jew was anxious
to sell. If he could not sell one article to a customer, he had another on
hand to offer him. The old tradition was that it was strictly unethical and
unbusiness-like to handle more than one line of goods, or to deal in more
than one "trade"; that it was contemptible and underhand to go out and get a
brother tradesman's customers away from him. It is as easy as child's play
to connect this energy with dishonesty. The Jew went after trade, pursued
it, persuaded it. He was the originator of "quick turnover and quick
profit." He originated the installment plan. The Jew's shops became bazaars,
forerunners of our modern department stores, and the old custom of one shop
for one line of goods was broken up . . . the Jew was not playing the game,
the staid old-fashioned merchant thought. As a matter of fact he was playing
the game, the game to get it all into his own hands - which he has
practically done.
The Jew has shown that same ability ever since his entry into trade in the
various countries he has established himself down the centuries. His power
of analyzing the money currents amounts to an instinct. His establishment in
one country represented another base from which the members of his race
could operate. Whether by the natural outworkings of innate gifts or the
deliberate plan of race unity and loyalty, all the Jewish trading
communities and relations, and as these trading communities increased in
wealth, prestige and power, as they formed relations with governments and
great interest in the countries where they operated, they simply put more
power into the central community wherever it might be located, now in Spain,
now in Holland, now in England.
Whether by intention or not, they became more closely allied than the
branches of one business could be, because of the cement of racial unity;
the bond of racial brotherhood cannot in the very nature of things exist
among the Gentiles as it exists among the Jews.
Gentiles never think of themselves as Gentiles, and never feel that they
owe anything to another Gentile as such; wherein lies their vulnerability.
Thus they have been convenient agents of Jewish schemes at times and in
places when it was not expedient that the Jewish controllers should be
publicly known; but they have never been successful competitors of the Jew
in the field of world-control.
From these separated Jewish communities went power to the central
community where the master bankers and the master analysts of conditions
lived. And back from the central community flowed information of an
invaluable character and assistance wherever needed. It is not difficult to
understand how, in such conditions, the nation that did not deal kindly with
the Jews was made to suffer, and the nation that yielded to them their
fullest desire was favored by them. They have made many nations feel the
power of their displeasure and this system exists in greater power today.
The co-ordination of Jewish activity has been a harmful thing for the
world. This is the element which is bringing the Jewish Question to
the bar of public opinion. May the International Jew go on as he has gone,
or does his duty to the world require another use of his success?
It is an important fact to be noted in connection with the
"persecution" and consequent wanderings of the Jews about Europe that
wherever they wandered the center of business seemed to go with them!
When the Jews were free in Spain, there was the world's gold center. When
Spain drove out the Jews, Spain lost her financial leadership and has never
regained it.
Students of the economic history of Europe have always been puzzled to
discover why the center of trade should have shifted from Spain, Portugal
and Italy, up to the northern countries of Holland, Germany and England.
They have sought for the cause in many things, but none seemed to be
completely explanatory. When it is shown that the change was coincident with
the expulsion of the Jews from the South and their flight to the North, when
it is known that upon the Jews' arrival the northern countries began a
commercial life which has flourished to our day, the explanation does not
seem difficult. Time and again it has been proved to be the fact that when
the Jews were forced to move, the center of the world's precious metals
moved with them.
It is also to be noted that the era of greatest national spiritual culture
is shown during the period when the Jews were expelled from England and
Spain. These two great countries have given much to the world, the best of
it they gave during their freedom from contact with Jewish ideas.
It is clearly proved that in the world today there is a central force
which is playing a vast and closely organized game, with the world as its
table and universal control for its stakes. Civilized people have long ago
lost confidence in the argument that "economic conditions" are responsible
for all the changes that occur. Under the camouflage of "economic law" a
great many phenomena have been accounted for which were not due to any "law"
whatever, except the law of the selfish human will as operated by the men
who have the purpose and the power to use the nation as their vassals.
"Economic" reason no longer explains the condition in which the world
finds itself today. Neither does the ordinary explanation of "the
heartlessness of Capital." "Capital" has endeavored as never before to meet
the demands of "Labor," and labor has gone to extremes in leading capital to
new concessions - but what has it advantaged either of them? "Labor" has
heretofore thought that "Capital" was the sky over it, and it made the sky
yield. But behold, there was yet another higher sky which neither capital
nor labor had seen in their struggles with one another. That sky is so far
unyielding.
There is a super-capitalism which is supported wholly by the fiction
that gold is wealth. There is a super-government which is allied to no
government, which is free from them all, and yet which has its hands in them
all. There is a race, a part of humanity, which has never yet been received
as a welcome part, and which has succeeded in raising itself to a power that
the proudest Gentile race has never claimed.
The "labor question," the wage question, the land question, cannot be
settled, no question that confronts the peoples of the world can be settled,
until first of all this matter of an international super-capitalistic
government is settled.
"To the victor belongs the spoils" is an old saying. In a sense it is true
that if all this power of control has been gained and held by a few men of a
long-despised race, then either they are super-men whom it is powerless to
resist or they are ordinary men whom the rest of the world has permitted to
obtain an undue and unsafe degree of power. Unless the Jews are super-men,
the Gentiles will have themselves to blame for what has transpired, and they
can look for rectification in a new scrutiny of the situation and a candid
examination of the experiences of other countries. When tracing all the
anti-social and colossally harmful methods of world-control to their source,
it is found that the responsible parties all have a common characteristic.
Is it any wonder that the warning which comes across, the sea - "Wait
until America becomes awake to the Jew!" has a new meaning?
The Fourteenth Protocol --
"In this divergence between the Gentiles and ourselves in ability to think and reason is to be seen clearly the seal of our election as the chosen people, as higher human beings, in contrast with the Gentiles who have merely instinctive and animal minds. They observe, but they do not foresee, and they invent nothing (except perhaps material things). It is clear from this that nature herself predestined us to rule and guide the world."
Humanity has become wise enough to discuss those forms of physical
sickness over which it formerly drew the veil of shame and secrecy, but
political hygiene is not so far advanced. The main source of the sickness of
our national body is charged to be the influence of the Jews, and although
this was apparent to acute minds years ago, it is now said to have gone so
far as to be apparent to the least observing. But while these influences
were undermining the mass of the people, higher influences of Jewish origin
were operating on the government.
The Jewish Problem in the United States is essentially a city problem;
great cities are the areas in which most all national diseases have their
origin. It is characteristic of the Jews to gather in numbers, not where
land is open nor where raw materials are found, but where the greatest
number of people abide. This is a noteworthy fact when considered alongside
the claim that the Gentiles have ostracized them; the Jews congregate in
their greatest numbers in those places and among those people where they
complain they are least wanted!
The explanation most frequently given is this: the genius of the Jew is to
live off people, not off land, nor off the production of commodities from
raw materials, but off people. Let other people till the soil; the Jew, if
he can, will live off the tiller. Let other people toil at trades and
manufacture; the Jew will exploit the fruits of their work. That is his
particular genius. If this genius be described as parasitic, the term would
seem to be justified by a certain fitness.
In no other city of the United States can the Jewish Problem be studied
with greater profit than in the city of New York. There are more Jews in New
York than anywhere else in the world; at least one Jew in every ten resides
in New York. Jews exert more power in New York, and from New York, than they
have ever exerted during the Christian era in any place, with the exception
of present Russia. The Jewish Revolution of Russia was manned from New York.
The Jewish government of Russia was transported almost as a unit from the
lower East Side of New York. The general run of shopkeeping, from the great
departmental stores to the smallest "junk" shop, is practically monopolized
by Jews. The legal profession is predominantly Jewish. From news agencies
that distribute news to the newspapers, to the newspaper that prints it, to
the news-stand that distributes the national reading matter, the control and
in most cases the ownership is entirely Jewish. In Wall Street the Jewish
element is both numerous and powerful, as might be expected of a race which
from early days has played an important part in the financial operations of
the world.
Jewish high finance first touched the United States through the
Rothschilds. Indeed, it may be said that the United States founded the
Rothschild fortunes. As so often occurs in the tale of Jewish riches, the
fortune was founded in war. The first 20 million dollars the Rothschilds
ever had to speculate with was the money paid for Hessian troops to fight
against the American colonies.
Since that first indirect connection with American affairs, the
Rothschilds have often invaded the money affairs of the country, though
always by agents. None of the Rothschild sons thought it necessary to
establish himself in the newly-founded United States. Anslem remained in
Frankfort, Solomon chose Vienna, Nathan Mayer went to London, Charles
established himself in Naples, and James represented the family in Paris.
These were the five war-lords of Europe for more than a generation, and
their dynasty was continued by their successors.
Rothschild power, as it was once known, has been so broadened by the entry
of other banking families into governmental finance, that it must now be
known not by the name of one family of Jews, but by the name of the race.
Thus it is spoken of as International Jewish Finance, and its principal
figures are described as International Jewish Financiers. Much of the veil
of secrecy which contributed so greatly to the Rothschild power has been
stripped away; war finance has been labeled for all time as "blood money,"
and the mysterious magic surrounding large transactions between governments
and individuals, by which individual controllers of large wealth were made
the real rulers of the people, has been largely solved and the plain facts
disclosed.
The Rothschild method still holds good, however, in that Jewish
institutions are affiliated with their racial institutions in all foreign
countries. As a leading student of financial affairs puts it, the world of
high finance is largely a Jewish world because of the Jewish financiers
"absence from national or patriotic illusions." To the International Jewish
Financier the ups and downs of war and peace between the nations are but the
changes of the world's financial market; and, as frequently the movement of
stocks is manipulated for purposes of market strategy, so sometimes
international relations are affected for mere financial gain.
It is known that the first World War was postponed several times at the
behest of international financiers. If it broke out too soon, it would not
involve the states which the international financiers wished to involve.
Therefore, the masters of gold, the international masters, were compelled
several times to check the martial enthusiasm which their own propaganda had
aroused. The Jewish Press alleges that there was discovered a Rothschild
Letter dated 1911, and urging the Kaiser against war. The year 1911 was too
early. There was no such insistence in 1914.
There is no question whatever of International Jewish Finance being deeply
concerned in the matter of war and revolution - this is never denied as to
the past; it is just as true of the present. The league against Napoleon,
for example, was Jewish. Its headquarters were in Holland. When Napoleon
invaded Holland, the headquarters were moved to Frankfort on-the-Main. It is
remarkable how many of the International Jewish Financiers have come out of
Frankfurt - the Rothschilds, the Schiffs, the Speyers, to name but a few.
Jewish influence in German affairs came strongly to the front during the
1914-1918 war. It came with all the directness and attack of a flying wedge,
as if previously prepared. There are no stronger contrasts in the world than
the pure Germanic and pure Semitic races; therefore, there has been no
harmony between the two in Germany, and though Jewish influence became
strong in that country it was not gained without challenge, but Jewish power
became paramount in the Revolution which followed the war. The Revolution
would not have come if they had not brought it. The principal Jewish
influences which brought down German order may be named under three heads:
(a) the spirit of Bolshevism which masqueraded under the name of German
Socialism; (b) Jewish ownership and control of the Press; (c) Jewish control
of the food supply and the industrial machinery of the country. There was a
fourth, "higher up," but these worked upon the German people directly. It
will be recalled that the German collapse in that war was directly due to
food starvation and material shortages, and to industrial unrest. As early
as the second year of the war, German Jews were preaching that German defeat
was necessary to the rise of the proletariat. Strovel declared: "I openly
admit that a full victory of the country would not be in the interest of the
Social Democrats." And also: "The exaltation of the proletariat after a won
victory is an impossibility." Revolution is the expression of the Jews' will
to power. Parties are but tools for the Jewish plan to power. The so-called
"dictatorship of the proletariat" is really and practically the dictatorship
of the Jews.
The 1914-1918 war brought about a condition which threw a new light on the
internationalism of Jewish finance. During the years of American neutrality
there was opportunity to observe the extent of the foreign affiliations of
certain men, and also the extent to which ordinary national loyalty was
subordinated to the business of international finance. That war really
forced a coalition of Gentile capital on one side of the struggle, as
against certain blocks of Jewish capital which were willing to play both
sides. The old Rothschild maxim: "Do not put all your eggs in one basket,"
becomes perfectly plain when transposed into national and international
terms. Jewish finance treats political parties the same - bets on them both,
and so never loses. In the same way Jewish finance never loses a war. Being
on both sides, it cannot miss the winning side, and its terms of peace are
sufficient to cover all advances to the side that lost. This was the
significance of the great swarming of Jews at the Versailles Peace
Conference.
But a strange fatality seems to follow all forms of Jewish supremacy. Just
as the capstone is ready to be placed on the edifice of Jewish triumphs,
something occurs and the structure shrinks. It occurs so often in Jewish
history that the Jews themselves have been exercised to find an explanation.
In many cases "anti-Semitism" offers the readiest excuse, but not always.
Just at the present time, when the light which was shed by the fires of war
has revealed so many matters formerly hidden in shadow, the awakening of
world attention is called "anti-Semitism," and the explanation is given that
"after every war the Jew becomes the scapegoat" - a curious admission which
would lead a less self-centered people to inquire, Why?
In the firm of Kuhn, Loeb and Company, Jewish finance in the United
States reached its high-water mark. The head of this firm was the late Jacob
Schiff, who was born in Frankfort-on-the-Main and whose father was one of
the Rothschild brokers. One of Jacob Schiff's associates, Otto Kahn, was
born in Mannheim, and was early associated with the Speyers, who also
originated in Frankfort and who came to great power in England during the
reign of Edward VII. Another associate, Felix Warburg, married into Jacob
Schiff's family, and the Warburgs became some of the most influential
members of America's diplomatic representatives.
Early flank movements of Jewish financiers in America sought out other
objectives in foreign countries whose future influence on American affairs
proved to be considerable. The first flank movement was toward Central and
South America. The financial assistance, practical and advisory, offered to
Mexico during the most unsatisfactory period of her relations with the
United States was given by Jewish groups. The political upheavals and the
financial arrangements in the tiny but strategically placed countries of
Central America are too notorious even to occasion comment.
It is known that Jacob Schiff gave material assistance to Japan in the
1905 war with Russia. This was explainable on the ground of good business
and also of a desire to revenge Russia's treatment of the Jews. Schiff used
the opportunity also to instill the principles, which have since grown up
into Bolshevism, into the minds of the Russian prisoners in Japanese war
camps. The attempt to gain influence in Japan, in those distant days, came
off rather badly. The Japs kept the business deal strictly a business deal,
and Mr. Jacob Schiff was displeased with Japan generally. The idea at the
beginning of the century appears to have been to add the newly rising Japan
to the string of financial conquests, but the Japanese were credited with
knowing much more about the "Jewish peril" than did the United States. This
is well worth recalling in view of the intensive propaganda which, for years
before the 1914 war and again just before the 1939 war, constantly sought to
create misunderstanding between the United States and the Empire of Japan.
Jewry emerged from the 1914-1918 war more strongly entrenched in power,
even in the United States, than it was before. In the world at large the
ascendancy of the Jew at the present time is even more marked. In those
countries which can justly be called unfriendly to the Jew, now or in the
recent past, the rule of the Jew is stronger than anywhere else. The more
they are opposed the more they show their power. At a moment when, as all
Jewish spokesmen inform us, there is a world-wave of "anti-Semitism," -
which is their name for a new awakening of people to what has been going on
- what should occur but that at the head of the Chief Magistracy of the
World* a Jew appears. Nobody seems to know why. Nobody can explain it.
In the United States we had a term of Jewish rule** almost as absolute
as that which exists in Russia. This appears to be a very strong statement,
but it is milder than the facts warrant. And the facts are not of hearsay
origin, nor the product of a biased point of view; they are the fruits of an
inquiry by the lawful officials of the United States who were set aside in
favor of a ready-made Jewish Government, and they are forever spread upon
the official records of the United States.
The Jews have proved that the control of Wall Street is not necessary to
the control of the American people, and the person by whom they proved this
was a Wall Street Jew !
This man has been called "the pro-consul of Judah in America." It is said
that once, referring to himself, he exclaimed: "Behold the Disraeli of the
United States!"
To a select committee of the Congress of the United States he said: "I
probably had more power than perhaps any other man did to the war; doubtless
that is true."
EDITOR'S NOTE:* The League of Nations is referred to in the original (1920) text and the same factor arises in the present direction of the "United Nations." The more it changes, the more it is the same thing!
EDITOR'S NOTE: **In each instance the 1914-1918 war is referred to, during the administration of President Wilson. It is a vital fact that the same man (Baruch) was the right-hand man of President Roosevelt throughout the Roosevelt peace and war administrations!
He did not overstate the case. He did have more power. It was not all
legal power, this much he admitted. It reached into every home and store and
factory and bank and railway and mine. It touched armies and governments. It
touched recruiting boards. It made and unmade men without a word. It was
power without responsibility and without limit. It was such a power as
compelled the Gentile population to lay bare every secret before this man
and his Jewish associates, giving them an advantage and knowledge that
billions of gold could not buy.*
Not one American in a million ever heard of this man before the entry of
the United States into the war in 1917. He glided out of a certain obscurity
unlighted by public service of fame, into the high rulership of the nation
at war. The constituted government had little to do with him save vote the
money and do his bidding. He said that men could have appealed over his head
to the President of the United States but, knowing the situation, men never
did.
Who was, who is, this figure, colossal in his way, and most instructive of
the readiness of Judah to take the rule whenever he desires?
His name is Bernard M. Baruch. He was born in South Carolina in the
1870's, the son of a Jewish doctor, Dr. Simon Baruch. He was graduated at
the College of the City of New York when he was just under 19 years of age.
After going down to Wall Street as a clerk and a runner, and when he "was
about 26 or 27," he became a member of the firm of A. A. Housman and
Company. "In about 1900 or 1902" he left the firm, but he had meanwhile
gained a seat on the Stock Exchange.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *In the second World War, in which the man was all powerful, his close friend, Winston Churchill, was British Prime Minister. It is significant that the "concentration of industry" system in Britain threw all commercial secrets into the hands of monopolist cartels, and the secrets of British military and industrial developments were made freely available to Jewish manipulators.
He then went into business himself, a statement which must be taken literally in view of his testimony that he
"Did not do any business for anybody but myself. I made a study of the corporations engaged in the production and manufacture of different things, and a study of the men engaged in them."
Emerging from his evidence before Congress, Baruch's operations are seen to be in various fields; principally in the field of metals and the organization of various commercial enterprises. He was instrumental also in the purchase of tobacco companies, various copper, steel tungsten, rubber and smelting companies, and he was responsible for the building up of the great industries in rubber in Mexico. As a young man, he is found to be the master of large sums of money, and there is no indication that he inherited any. He is very wealthy. What change the war made in his wealth is not known, but certainly many of his friends and closest associates reaped great quantities of money from their activities during the war.
Cross-examined by the Congress Inquiry it was amply proved that
Baruch's influence over President Wilson made such changes in the
Administration as to make Baruch the most powerful man in the war. The
Council of National Defense eventually became the merest side show. It was
not a Council of Americans that ran the war, it was an autocracy headed by a
Jew, with Jews at every strategic point down the line. In his own evidence
he describes one of his visits to the President in 1915.
Mr. Baruch: "I thought a war was coming long before it did . . . I
explained to him as earnestly as I could that I was very deeply concerned
about the necessity of the mobilization of the industries of the country.
The President listened very attentively and graciously, as he always does .
. . My attention was brought to the Council of National Defense . . . The
Secretary of War asked me what I thought of it. I said I would like to
have something different." A council is a council. Mr. Baruch
wanted something different. He did get something different. He got
the President to change matters so as to make Mr. Baruch the "most powerful
man in the war." What Baruch did was very masterly, but it was not in the
American manner. No one but a member of his race would have wanted to do it.
There is no discounting the testimony Baruch gave before Congress. The
President of the United States did exactly what Baruch wanted in a thousand
ways, and what Baruch apparently wanted was a ruling hand on productive
America, and he got it. He got it in a larger way than even Lenin or his
successors ever got in Russia; for here in the United States the people saw
nothing but the patriotic element; they did not see the Jewish Government
looming above them. Yet it was there.
So Baruch did things. Before he got through, he was head and center of a
system of control such as the United States Government never possessed and
never will possess until it changes its character as a free government. As
told by himself, his power consisted in the following authorities:
1. Authority over the use of capital in the private business of
Americans. (This authority was nominally under the Capital Issues
Committee, the controlling factor of which was another Jew, Eugene Meyer,
Jr.)
2. Authority over all materials. This, of course, included
everything. Mr. Baruch was an expert in many of the lines of materials
involved, and had held interests in many of them. In lines where Mr. Baruch
was not an expert he, of course, had other experts in charge; Jews. "The
members of that committee were picked out by myself; the industries did not
pick them out," he stated.*
3. Authority over industries. He determined where coal might be
shipped, where steel might be sold, where industries might be operated and
where not. He said, it is in his recorded testimony, that there were 361 or
357 lines of industry under his control in the United States including
"practically every raw material in the world. I had the final authority."
4. Authority over the cases of men to be called to military service.
Baruch virtually pointed out to the Provost Marshall of the United
States, the classes of men to be taken into the army. "We had to decide
virtually the necessity of things," he said. "We had to decide that the
less-essential industries would have to be curbed, and it was from them that
the man-power would have to be taken for the army.
It was, of course, necessary that some ruling should be made, but why one
man, why always this one man?
EDITOR'S NOTE: *The extension of the "control of industry and materials system in World War 2 and the development of the methods and powers of Baruch and his political associates in the "Western Democracies" in the latter war, make an interesting parallel to the disclosures in Congress after the first World War. The Plan in progress, in fact.
5. Authority over the personnel of labor in the country.
"We decided upon a dilution of men with women labor, which was a thing that had always been fought by the labor unions." "We fixed the prices for the total production, not alone for the army and the navy, but for the Allies and the civilian population."
And now behold as complete an illustration of one part of the Protocols
as ever could be found in any Gentile Government: "We will force up wages
which, however, will be of no benefit to the workers, for we will at the
same time cause a rise in the prices of necessities": the First Protocol.
It was not only during the war, but also after the Armistice, that tokens
of signal choice were showered on Baruch. He went to the Versailles Peace
Conference as a part of the President's entourage.
Mr. Baruch: "Whenever he asked my advice I gave it. I had something to do with the reparations clauses. I was the American Commissioner in charge of what they called the 'Economic Section.' I was a member of the Supreme Economic Council in charge of raw materials."
Baruch admitted in his evidence that he sat in council with the men who were negotiating the Peace Treaty and that he participated in the meeting of the "Big Five" Premiers. Jews were so conspicuous in the American Mission as to excite comment everywhere. Frenchmen called Versailles the "Kosher Conference." So numerous and ubiquitous were the International Jews, headed by Baruch, so firmly established in the inner councils, that the keen observer, Dr. E. J. Dillon, in his book, "The Inside Story of the Peace Conference" (Harpers), said this:
"It may seem amazing to some readers, but it is none the less a fact, that a considerable number of delegates believed that the real influences behind the Anglo-Saxon peoples were Semitic." (p.496).
And again:
". . . the sequence of expedients framed and enforced in this direction were inspired by the Jews, assembled in Paris for the purpose of realizing their carefully thought-out program, which they succeeded in having substantially executed . . . The formula into which this policy was thrown by the members of the Conference, whose countries it affected, and who regarded it as fatal to the peace of Eastern Europe, was this: 'Henceforth the world will be governed by the Anglo-Saxon peoples, who in their turn, are swayed by their Jewish elements'." (p. 497).
This is not the whole story by any means.
Why was Baruch chosen to be the first Dictator of the United States? What
had he been, what had he done, that he should have been chosen as head and
front of governmental power in the first World War, the first major war in
which the United States were involved, and which turned that country from a
debtor nation into the most powerful of all time in military and financial
power? And with a minimum of military sacrifice and comparatively trifling
effort. His antecedents do not account for it. Neither his personal nor
commercial attainments account for it. What does?
Men who can manipulate this political and money power in time of war can
do so in time of peace. The United States is living under some of the
peace-manipulation now. The operating groups, governments, are bankrupt.
Only their power of confiscation keeps them up. The United States, commonly
referred to as the richest country in the world, is just as poor as a
government as is any other; it is in debt and borrowing. And its creditors
are constantly discounting their obligations and putting it into worse hands
than ever. The amount of our National Debt is the measure of our enslavement
to Jewish World Finance. We live in a democracy, yet loans are contracted
that always cost more than the amount of the loan, and no one has a word to
say about it. We Americans do not know how much interest we pay every year,
and we don't know to whom we pay it.
The Twelfth Protocol --
"We shall handle the Press in the following manner:
1. "We shall saddle it and keep tight reign upon it. We shall do the same also with other printed matter, for of what use is it to rid ourselves of attacks in the Press, if we remain exposed to criticism through pamphlets and books?"
2. "Not one announcement will reach the people save under our supervision. We have attained this at the present time to the extent that all news is received through several agencies in which it is centralized from all parts of the world"
3. "Literature and journalism are two most important educational forces, and consequently our government will become the owner of most of the journals. If we permit ten private journals, we shall organize thirty of our own, and so on. This must not be suspected by the public, for which reason all the journals published by us will be externally of the most contrary opinions and tendencies thus evoking confidence in them and attracting our unsuspecting opponents, who thus will be caught in our trap and rendered harmless."
The first instinctive answer which the Jew makes to any criticism of
his race coming from a non-Jew is that of violence, threatened or inflicted.
This statement will be confirmed by hundreds of thousands of citizens of the
United States who have heard the evidence with their own ears, seen it with
their own eyes.
If the candid investigator of the Jewish Question happens to be in
business, the "boycott" is the first answer of which the Jews seem to think.
Whether it be a newspaper, or a mercantile establishment, or a hotel, or a
dramatic production; or any manufactured article whose maker has adopted the
policy that "my goods are for sale, but not my principles" - if there is any
manner of business connection with the student of the Jewish Question, the
first "answer" is "boycott."
The technique of this: a "whispering drive" is first begun. Disquieting
rumors begin to fly thick and fast. "Watch us get him, is the word that is
passed along. Jews in charge of national ticker news services adopt the
slogan of "a rumor a day." All leading news agencies in America are
Jew-controlled. Jews in charge of newspapers adopt the policy of "a slurring
headline a day." Jews in charge of the newsboys on the streets (all the
street concerns are preempted by Jewish "padrones" who permit only their own
boys to sell) give orders to emphasize certain news in their street cries -
"a new yell against him every day. " The whole campaign against the critic
of Jewry, whoever he may be, is keyed to the threat, "Watch us get him."*
"The whispering drive," "the boycott," these are the chief Jewish answers.
They constitute the bone and the sinew of that state of mind in non-Jews
which is known as "the fear of the Jews."
This is the story of a boycott which lasted over a number of years; it
is only one of numerous stories of the same kind which can be told of
America. There have been even more outstanding cases since this one, but it
dates back to the dawn of Jewish ambitions and power in the United States,
and it is the first of the great battles which Jewry waged, successfully, to
snuff out the independent Press.
It concerns the long defunct "New York Herald," one newspaper to
remain independent of Jewish influence in New York. The Herald enjoyed an
existence of 90 years, which was terminated in 1920 by the inevitable
amalgamation. It performed great feats in the world of news-gathering. It
sent Henry M. Stanley to Africa to find Livingstone. It backed the Jeannette
expedition to the Arctic regions. It was largely instrumental in having the
first Atlantic cables laid. Its reputations among newspaper men was that
neither its news nor its editorial columns could be bought or influenced.
But perhaps its greatest feat was the maintenance during many years of its
journalistic independence against the combined attack of New York Jewry. Its
proprietor, the late James Gordon Bennett, a great American citizen famed
for many helpful activities, had always maintained a friendly attitude
toward the Jews of his city. He apparently harbored no prejudices against
them. Certainly he never deliberately antagonized them. But he was resolved
upon preserving the honor of independent journalism. He never bent to the
policy that the advertisers had something to say about the editorial policy
of the paper, either as to influencing it for publication or suppression. In
Bennett's time the American Press was in the majority free. Today it is
entirely Jewish controlled. This control is variously exercised, sometimes
resting only on the owners' sense of expediency. But the control is there,
and for the moment it is absolute. Fifty years ago there were many more
newspapers in New York than there are today, since then amalgamation has
reduced the competition to a select few who do not compete. This development
has been the same in other countries, particularly Great Britain.
EDITOR'S NOTE: *Following the rise of the "popular" syndicated "columnist" since 1920, the word is now "smear," it is specially prominent in political-press affairs.
Bennett's Herald, a three cent newspaper, enjoyed the highest
prestige and was the most desirable advertising medium due to the class of
its circulation. At that time the Jewish population of New York was less
than one-third of what it is today, but there was much wealth represented in
it.
Now, what every newspaper man knows is this: most Jewish leaders are
always interested either in getting a story published or getting it
suppressed. There is no class of people who read the public press with so
careful an eye to their own affairs as do the Jews. The Herald simply
adopted the policy from the beginning of this form of harassment that it was
not to be permitted to sway the Herald from its duty as a public
informant. And this policy had a reflex advantage for the other newspapers
in the city.
When a scandal occurred in Jewish circles (and at the turn of the century
growing Jewish influence in America produced many) influential Jews would
swarm into the editorial offices to arrange for the suppression of the
story. But the editors knew that the Herald would not suppress
anything for anybody. What was the use of one paper suppressing if the
others would not? So editors would say: We would be very glad to suppress
this story, but the Herald will use it, so we'll have to do the same
in self-protection. However, if you can get the Herald to suppress
it, we will gladly do so, too.
But the Herald never succumbed, neither pressure of influence nor promise
of business nor threats of loss availed. It printed the news.
There was a certain Jewish banker who periodically demanded that Bennett
discharge the Herald's financial editor. The banker was in the business of
disposing of Mexican bonds at a time when such bonds were least secure. Once
when an unusually large number of bonds were to be unloaded on unsuspecting
Americans, the Herald published the story of an impending Mexican
revolution, which presently ensued. The banker frothed at the mouth and
moved every influence he could to change the Herald's financial staff, but
was not able to effect the change even of an office boy.
Once when a shocking scandal involved a member of a prominent family,
Bennett refused to suppress it, arguing that if the episode had occurred in
a family of any other race it would be published regardless of the
prominence of the figures involved. The Jews of Philadelphia secured
suppression there, but because of Bennett's unflinching stand there was no
suppression in New York.
A newspaper is a business proposition. There are some matters it cannot
touch without putting itself in peril of becoming a defunct concern. This is
especially true since newspapers no longer receive their main support from
the public but from the advertisers. The money the reader gives for the
paper scarcely suffices to pay for the amount of white paper he receives. In
this way, advertisers cannot be disregarded any more than the paper mills
can be. As the most extensive advertisers in New York were, and are, the
department stores, and as most department stores were, and are, owned by
Jews, it comes logically that Jews often influence the news policies of the
papers with whom they deal.
At this time, it had always been the burning ambition of the Jews to elect
a Jewish Mayor of New York. They selected a time when the leading parties
were disrupted to push forward their choice. The method they adopted was
characteristic. They reasoned that the newspapers would not dare to refuse
the dictum of the combined department store owners, so they drew up a
"strictly confidential" letter which they sent to the owners of the New York
newspapers, demanding support for the Jewish mayoralty candidate. The
newspaper owners were in a quandary. For several days they debated how to
act. All remained silent. The editors of the Herald cabled the news
to Bennett who was abroad. Then it was that Bennett exhibited that boldness
and directness of judgment which characterized him. He cabled back,
"Print the letter." It was printed in the Herald, the arrogance
of the Jewish advertisers was exposed, and non-Jewish New York breathed
easier and applauded the action.
The Herald explained frankly that it could not support a candidate
of private interests, because it was devoted to the interests of the public.
But the Jewish leaders vowed vengeance against the Herald and against
the man who dared to expose their game.
They had not liked Bennett for a long time, anyway. The Herald was
the real "society paper" of New York, but Bennett had a rule that only the
names of really prominent families should be printed. The stories of the
efforts of newly-rich Jews to break into the Herald's society columns
are some of the best that are told by old newspaper men.
The whole "war" culminated in a contention which arose between Bennett and
Nathan Straus, a German-Jew whose business house was known under the name of
"R. H. Macy and Company," Macy being the Scotsman who built up the business
and from whose heirs Straus obtained it. Straus was something of a
philanthropist in the ghetto, but the story goes that Bennett's failure to
proclaim him as a philanthropist led to ill-feeling. A long newspaper-war
ensued, the subject of which was the pasteurization of milk, a stupid
discussion which no one took seriously, save Bennett and Straus.*
The Jews, of course, took Straus' side. Jewish speakers made the welkin
ring with laudation of Nathan Straus and maledictions upon James Bennett.
Bennett was pictured in the most vile business of "persecuting" a noble Jew.
It went so far that the Jews were able to put resolutions through the Board
of Aldermen.
Long since, of course, Straus, a very heavy advertiser, had withdrawn
every dollar's worth of his business from the Herald. And now the
combined and powerful elements of New York Jewry gathered to deal a
staggering blow at Bennett. The Jewish policy of "Dominate or Destroy" was
at stake, and Jewry declared war.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It is significant that, in the long years since this first "food war," the business of "processing" and "substituting" pure foods, messing about with natural food-stuffs, has developed into a world wide business; mostly controlled by Jews.
As one man, the Jewish advertisers withdrew their advertisements. Their
assigned reason was that the Herald was showing animosity against the
Jews. The real purpose of their action was to crush an American newspaper
owner who dared to be independent of them.
The blow they delivered was a staggering one. It meant the loss of 600,000
dollars a year. Any other newspaper in New York would have been put out of
business by it. The Jews knew that and sat back, waiting for the downfall of
the man they chose to consider their enemy.
But Bennett was a fighter. Besides, he knew the Jewish psychology probably
better than any other non-Jew in New York. He turned the tables on his
opponents in a startling and unexpected fashion. The coveted positions in
his papers had always been used by the Jews. These he immediately turned
over to non-Jewish merchants under exclusive contracts. Merchants who had
formerly been crowded into the back pages and obscure corners by the more
opulent Jews, now blossomed forth full page in the most popular spaces. One
of the non-Jewish merchants who took advantage of the new situation was John
Wanamaker, whose large advertisements from that time forward were
conspicuous in the Bennett newspapers. The Bennett papers came out with
undiminished circulation and full advertising pages. The well-planned
catastrophe did not, then occur. Instead, there was a rather comical
surprise. Here were the non-Jewish merchants of America enjoying the
choicest service of a valuable advertising medium, while the Jewish
merchants were unrepresented. Unable to stand the spectacle of trade being
diverted to non-Jewish merchants, the Jews came back to Bennett, requesting
the use of his columns for advertising. The "boycott" had been hardest on
the boycotters. Bennett received all who came, displaying no rancor. They
wanted their old positions back, but Bennett said, No. They argued, but
Bennett said, No. They offered more money, but Bennett said, No. The choice
positions had been forfeited.
Bennett triumphed, but it proved a costly victory. All the time Bennett
was resisting them, the Jews were growing more powerful in New York, and
they were obsessed by the idea that to control journalism in New York meant
to control the thought of the whole country.
The number of newspapers gradually diminished through combinations of
publications. Adolph S. Ochs, a Philadelphia Jew, acquired the "New York
Times." He soon made it into a great newspaper, but one whose bias is to
serve the Jews. It is the quality of the Times as a newspaper that
makes it so weighty as a Jewish organ. In this paper the Jews are
persistently lauded, eulogized and defended, no such tenderness is granted
other races.
Then Hearst came into the field, a dangerous agitator because he not only
agitates the wrong things, but because he agitates the wrong class of
people. He surrounded himself with a coterie of Jews, pandered to them,
worked hand in glove with them, but never told the truth about them, never
gave them away.
The trend toward Jewish control of the press set in strongly, and has
continued that way ever since. The old names, made great by great editors
and American policies, slowly dimmed.
A newspaper is founded either on a great editorial mind, in which event it
becomes the expression of a powerful personality, or it becomes
institutionalized as to policy and becomes a commercial establishment. In
the latter event, its chances for continuing life beyond the lifetime of its
founder are much stronger.
The Herald was Bennett, and with his passing it was inevitable that
a certain force and virtue should depart out of it. Bennett, advancing in
age, dreaded lest his newspaper, on his death should fall into the hands of
the Jews. He knew that they regarded it with longing. He knew that they had
pulled down, seized, and afterward built up many an agency that had dared to
speak the truth about them, and boasted about it as a conquest for Jewry.
Bennett loved the Herald as a man loves a child. He so arranged his
will that the Herald should not fall into individual ownership, but
that its revenues should flow into a fund for the benefit of the men who had
worked to make the Herald what it was. He died in May, 1919. The
Jewish enemies of the Herald, eagerly watchful, once more withdrew
their advertising to force, if possible, the sale of the newspaper. They
knew that if the Herald became a losing proposition, the trustees
would have no course but to sell, notwithstanding Bennett's will.
But there were also interests in New York who were beginning to realize
the peril of a Jewish press. These interests provided a sum of money for the
Herald's purchase by Frank A. Munsey.
Then, to general astonishment, Munsey discontinued the gallant old paper,
and bestowed its name as part of the name of the "New York Sun."
The newspaper managed by Bennett is extinct. The men who worked on it were
scattered abroad in the newspaper field and, in the main, retired or dead.
Even though the Jews had not gained actual possession of the Herald,
they at least succeeded in driving another non-Jewish newspaper from the
field. They set about obtaining control of several newspapers, their victory
is now complete. But the victory was a financial victory over a dead man.
The moral victory, as well as the financial victory, remained with Bennett
while he lived; the moral victory still remains with the Herald. It
demonstrated what could be done by fearless, independent minds, supported by
men who knew their work and loved it for its own sake. It demonstrated what
could have been achieved had these men received the support of wide-awake,
active, non-Jewish Americans. The Herald is immortalized as the last
bulwark against Jewry in New York, in America. Today the Jews are more
completely masters of the journalistic field in New York than they are in
any capital in Europe. Indeed, in Europe there frequently emerges a
newspaper that gives the real news of the Jews. There is none in New York.
And thus the situation will remain until Americans shake themselves from
their long sleep, and look with steady eyes at the national situation. That
look will be enough to show them all, and their very eyes will quail the
oriental usurpers.
The First Protocol --
"Our triumph has been rendered easier by the fact that in our relations with the men whom we wanted we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of the human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these human weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it hands over the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought their activities."
Judaism is the most closely organized power on earth. It forms a State
whose citizens are unconditionally loyal wherever they may be and whether
rich or poor.
The name which is given to this State, which circulates among all the
states, is "All-Judaan."
The means of power of the State of All-Judaan are capital and journalism,
or money and propaganda.
All-Judaan is the only State that exercises world government; all the
other States can and may exercise national government only.
The principal culture of All-Judaan is journalistic; the technical,
scientific, literary performances of the modern Jew are throughout
journalistic performances. They are due to the marvellous talent of the Jews
for receptivity of others' ideas. Capital and Journalism are joined in the
Press to create a political and spiritual medium of Jewish power.
The government of this State of All-Judaan is wonderfully organized. Paris
was the first seat, but has now been moved to a lower place. Before 1914
London was its first, and New York its second capital. New York now
supplants London.
All-Judaan is not in a position to have a standing army and navy, other
states supply these for it. It was the British Fleet which guarded from
hindrance the progress of all-Jewish world economy, or that part of it which
depends on the sea. In return, All-Judaan assured Britain an undisturbed
political and territorial rule.
Then New York supplanted London. The drift of the Jews in the 19th
century, expedited into a great flood after World War I, made the United
States the seat of Jewish power and influence. "America," and her fleets,
armies, citizens, takes the place of Britain as the "ruler of the world." It
merely means that Jewry has moved from the British Empire to the American
Continent.
All-Judaan is willing to entrust the government of various strips of the
world to nationalistic governments; it only asks to control the governments.
Judaism is passionately in favor of perpetuating nationalistic divisions for
the Gentile world. For themselves, Jews never became assimilated with any
nation. They are a separate people, always were and always will be.
All-Judaan's only quarrel with any nation occurs when that nation makes it
impossible, or tries to make it so, for All-Judaan to control that nation's
industrial and financial profits. It can make war, it can make peace; it can
command anarchy in stubborn cases, it can restore order. It holds the sinews
of world power in its hand and it apportions them among the nations in such
ways as will best support All-Judaan's plan.
Controlling the world's source of news, All-Judaan can always prepare the
minds of the people for its next move. The greatest exposure yet to be made
is the way that news is manufactured and the way in which the mind of whole
nations is molded for a purpose.
When the powerful Jew is at last traced and his hand revealed, then comes
the ready cry of persecution and it echoes through the world press. The real
cause of the persecution (which is the oppression of the people by the
financial practices of the Jews) is never given publicity.
All-Judaan has its vice-governments in every capital. Having wreaked its
vengeance on Germany, it will go forth to conquer other nations. Britain it
already has. France and Russia it has long held. The United States, with its
good-natured tolerance of all races, offered a promising field. All-Judaan
is here. The scene of operations changes, but the Jew is the same throughout
the centuries.

Appendix
Henry Ford's Forged "Apology"
Source: Bible Believers Ministry, Aus.
At the apex of his business career Henry Ford, the industrial genius sensed that a terrific effort was being made to take his business from him and manipulate it into the hands of the money-changers. Mr. Ford had the impression that these manipulators were being engineered by powerful Jewish financiers.
He called to his office the most intelligent research men within his acquaintance. He commissioned them to make a thorough study of the International Jew and publish their findings in "The Dearborn Independent," which at that time was the official organ of the Ford Motor Company. No expense was spared, and it is estimated that literally millions of dollars were spent by Mr. Ford on this project. The original articles were carried first in "The Dearborn Independent," and then published in book form.
I have in my possession every copy of "The Dearborn Independent." This complete set is beautifully bound in Morocco leather and was given to me by an inner-circle member of Mr. Ford's personal staff.
When the report on "The International Jew" was originally published it opened each chapter with a text taken from "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion," or from the published statements of world prominent Jews. The moment the manuscripts dealing with the Jewish problem reached the public, a terrific howl went up from official Jewry. If I were to summarize the campaign of reprisal and abuse which was carried on against Mr. Ford and his Company, this summary alone would require a book. Every instrument of torture and abuse which could be imagined was carried on against Mr. Ford -- smear, character assassination, ridicule, physical threat, boycott. The pressure was constant, consistent and endless. The most powerful and enigmatic pressures imaginable were brought to bear on Mr. Ford to stop the publication of "The International Jew." Finally the order came through to cease publication and to destroy the copies which were available. Jews and others went into the bookstores and bought and destroyed all copies which could be found. Sneak thieves were commissioned to visit libraries and steal the report out of the libraries. This made the book so rare and unfindable that it became a collector's item.
The day finally came when the one ambition of the Jews was fulfilled. Mr. Ford apologized for publishing "The International Jew" and blamed subordinates for the deed.
In 1940 I interviewed Mr. Ford on numerous occasions. In fact, on the day before his first automobile was put under glass, he and Mrs. Ford invited Mrs. Smith and myself to be their guests at Dearborn. On this occasion he told me the whole story of his first car and how he happened to make it. Among the precious souvenirs which have come to Mrs. Smith and myself is a New Testament autographed by Mr. Ford, and handwritten letters from Mrs. Ford commenting favorably on some of my speeches and expressing in her own handwriting Mr. Ford's appreciation for my activities.
It was on the occasion of one of these personal visits with Mr. Ford that he gave me a sensational and shocking report. He said: "Mr. Smith, my apology for publishing 'The International Jew' was given great publicity, but I did not sign that apology. It was signed by Harry Bennett."
For the information of the reader Harry Bennett was a very officious and aggressive employee of the Ford Motor Company. He presumed his way into the confidence of Mr. Ford and later became known as an enigmatic and obnoxious personality. Space will not permit a thorough discussion of the activities of Harry Bennett. Mr. Ford's personal secretary for 34 years, Mr. Ernest Liebold, told me that one of the worst things that ever happened to the Ford Motor Company was the employment of Harry Bennett. For a certain period of time Bennett exerted virtually a dictatorial control over the affairs of the Company. His alleged deeds, if summarized might make rather a scandalous book.
When Mr. Ford told me that he had not signed the apology, it seemed almost unbelievable. In fact, I could scarcely believe my own ears. Furthermore, on the occasion of this same visit, Mr. Ford said: "Mr. Smith, I hope to republish 'The International Jew' again some time." He showed no signs of regret for having published it in the beginning.
I did not report this conversation even to my most faithful followers because the original "apology" had been so thoroughly publicized that I knew it would be difficult to make people believe what I had heard from Mr. Ford's own lips.
After Mr. Ford died, the man Harry Bennett evidently was very much disillusioned and embittered by the fact that he did not share generously in the inheritance. He collaborated with a Jew by the name of Paul Marcus in the writing of a book entitled "We Never Called Him Henry."
Here is Mr. Bennett's own story concerning the much publicized "apology" Mr. Ford is supposed to have made for exposing the machinations of the International Jew. Here are Mr. Bennett's own words:
"I got in touch with Arthur Brisbane, and through him learned that the American Jewish Committee could settle the matter. I entered into negotiations with Samuel Untermeyer and Louis Marshall of that organization, and with Brisbane. They drew up the now-famous 'apology,' which was to be the basis for a settlement. In this formal statement, it was said that Mr. Ford would see to it that no more anti-Semitic material circulated in his name and that he would call in all undistributed copies of 'The International Jew,' which were booklet reprints of the (Dearborn) Independent's articles. For the rest, the 'apology' said that Mr. Ford had had no knowledge of what had been published in the Dearborn Independent, and was 'shocked' and 'mortified' to learn about it.
"Arthur Brisbane brought this statement to me at 1710 Broadway. I phoned Mr. Ford. I told him an 'apology' had been drawn up, and added 'It's pretty bad, Mr. Ford.' I tried to read it to him over the phone, but he stopped me.
"So I signed Mr. Ford's signature to the document. I had always been able to sign his name as realistically as he could himself. I sent the statement to Untermeyer and Marshall. The signature was verified, and the case was closed.
"All this was done without Mr. Ford's taking anyone else into his confidence. Edsel knew nothing about it, and Cameron and Senator Reed heard about it by reading the papers.
"Cameron's reaction was quoted by the newspaper: 'It's all news to me and I cannot believe it is true'."
Later, Mr. Bennett's story appeared in abbreviated form in True Magazine. The above quotation appeared on page 125 of that magazine for October, 1951.
I give the reader this information in order that he may read what follows without the risk of any deception concerning the Ford apology.
To summarize:
1. The press quoted Mr. Ford as apologizing for the publication of "The International Jew."
2. Mr. Ford told me in the presence of Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Ernest Liebold (his secretary for 34 years) that he hoped to republish it and that he did not sign the apology.
3. Mr. Bennett, who at one time was one of the three most powerful individuals connected with the Ford Motor Company, admits that Mr. Ford did not sign the apology but that he (Bennett) copied Mr. Ford's signature with accuracy and that this signature is the only one which appeared on the formal apology.
As far as I am concerned, I am willing to base my Conclusions relative to the report ("The International Jew") on the personal statement which Mr. Ford made to me.
Whatever the case may be, the report in its original form as well as the abridged edition herewith, speaks for itself and is supported by the logic of its contents.
Concerning "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" Mr. Ford said on February 17, 1921: "The only statement I care to make about the Protocols is that they fit in with what is going on . . . They have fitted the world situation up to this time. They fit it now."
It must be observed that when Mr. Ford made this statement concerning the Protocols in relationship to his publication "The International Jew," this document, which is allegedly the secret minutes of the Elders of Zion, was only 16 years old. The Jews had advertised to the world that "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" were forgeries. Mr. Ford wasted no time arguing this question. He merely said to his friends: "No matter what they are, they fit what is going on."
Some students of the situation have pointed out that even the word "forgery" implies that the object referred to is an accurate reproduction of the original. For that reason every student of the Jewish problem should have a copy of "The Protocols of the Learned Eiders of Zion." Copies may be obtained by addressing orders to the CPA Book Publisher, PO Box 596, Boring, Oregon 97009, USA. Or Heritage & Conservative Books roy@tac.com.au. [or as free E-book here: Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion]
In his book entitled "My Life and Work," which was published in 1922, Mr. Ford comments on his "International Jew" series with the following words:
"Readers of our articles will see at once that we are not actuated by any kind of prejudice, except it may be a prejudice in favor of the principles which have made our civilization.
"There had been observed in this country certain streams of influence which were causing a marked deterioration in our literature, amusements, and social conduct; business was departing from its old-time substantial soundness; a general letting-down of standards were felt everywhere. It was not the robust coarseness of the white man, the rude indelicacy, say, of Shakespeare's characters, but a nasty Orientalism which has insidiously affected every channel of expression -- and to such an extent that it was time to challenge it. The fact that these influences are all traceable to one racial source is a fact to be reckoned with . . . Our work does not pretend to say the last word on the Jew in America. It says only the word which describes his present impress on this country. When that impress is changed, the report can be changed . . . Our opposition is only to ideas, false ideas, which are sapping the moral stamina of the people. These ideas proceed from easily identified sources, they are promulgated by easily discoverable methods and they are controlled by mere exposure.
"When people learn to identify the source and nature of the influence swirling around them, it is sufficient. Let the American people once understand that it is not natural degeneracy but calculated subversion that afflicts us, and they are safe.
"The explanation is the cure. This work was taken up without personal motives. When it reached a stage where we believed the American people could grasp the key, we let it rest for the time. Our enemies say that we began it for revenge and that we laid it down in fear. Time will show that our critics (the Jews) are merely dealing in evasion because they dare not tackle the main question."
No mature-minded thinker; no honest reader, could question Mr. Ford's logic summarized above. I agree completely with his expressed convictions that all America and the world needs is to know the truth "and the truth shall set us free."
-- Gerald L. K. Smith
The next letter appeared in The CDL Report, Special Issue 234 page 30 (Christian Defense League, Box 449, Arabi, La. 70032, USA). It was written by Mr. Smith as Director and on the letterhead of the Nationalist News Service, The Christian Nationalist Crusade, Publisher of "The Cross and the Flag," and Editor of "Washington Letter".
October 29, 1956
Mr. Charles B. Hudson
P. 0. Box 985
Newcastle, Wyoming
Dear Mr. Hudson:
I have no items concerning Mr. Ford being run off the road, but I
will give you first-hand information concerning this matter, one
source being Mr. Ernest Liebold, private secretary to Mr. Ford
for 34 years and who was my personal friend. He believed that Harry
Bennett was in with the Jews and that the scare against Mr. Ford
was an inside job designed to intimidate the Ford family. It never
scared Mr. Ford, but it scared his family and subordinate executives.
You will recall that Mr. Bennett collaborated with a Jew in writing
a book entitled "We Called Him Henry." In this book he boasts (but
to me it was a confession) that he and Louis Marshall concocted Mr.
Ford's apology and that he (Bennett) signed Mr. Ford's name to the
apology. He boasts how he, being an artist, had learned to imitate
Mr. Ford's signature perfectly.
Mr. Ford told me before he died that one of his great hopes was that
he could republish "The International Jew." He told it to me in the
presence of two other witnesses.
Sincerely yours,
Gerald L. K. SmithGLKS:L
