Chapter .4.
ARE THE JEWS A NATION?
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 are 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.
RACE OR RELIGION?
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.
THE POLICY OF "MISREPRESENTATION"
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.
DISRAELI PORTRAYS THE:
JEWS
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.
