THE
INTERNATIONAL JEW,
THE WORLD'S FOREMOST PROBLEM
Abridged from the original
as published by the world renowned industrial leader, HENRY FORD,
SR.
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."
Chapter .8.
JEWISH INFLUENCES IN
AMERICAN POLITICS
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 predefinition 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.
ALIENS AND TAMMANY LEADERSHIP
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 become
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.
JEWS AND THE WRITE SLAVE
SCANDAL
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.
