Chapter 14.
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.
THE ROTHSCHILD METHOD
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 hut 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?
SCOPE OF JEWISH MONEY POWER
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-the-Main and whose father was one of the Rothschild
brokers. One of Jacob Schiff's associates, Otto Kahn, was bourn
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 Worlds a Jew
appears. Nobody seems to know why. Nobody can explain it.
"DISRAELI OF AMERICA"-A JEW OF SUPER-POWER
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. ne 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.
DICTATOR BARUCH
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 pierced 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
mild tare serge. 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
count.
"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:
Go. . . 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 constant 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.
"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 Twelfth Protocol.
