"... in later times Gnosis was the name given to what Porphyry calls Antique and Oriental Philosophy to distinguish it from the Grecian systems. But the term was first used (according to Matter) in its ultimate sense of supernal and celestial (cosmic) knowledge, by the Jewish philosophers of the celebrated Alexandrian School.
A very characteristic production of this Jewish Gnosis has come down to our time in the Book of Enoch, of which the main subject is to make known the description of the heavenly bodies and their correct names are revealed to the Patriarch by the angel of Uriel. This profession betrays of itself the main source from which the inspiration was derived."
(Secret Sects of Syria, Mason Springett)
"Among the early nations a wild enthusiasm and a sensual idolatry of nature soon superseded the simple worship of the Almighty God... The great powers and elements of nature and the vital principle of production and procreation through all generations; then the celestial spirits or heavenly host, the luminous armies of the stars, and the great Sun and mysterious, ever-changing Moon (all of which the whole ancient world regarded, not as mere globes of light or bodies of fire, but as animated living substances, potent over man's fate and destinies); next the genii and tutelar spirits, and even the souls of the dead, received divine worship..the heavens, earth, and the operations of nature were personified; the good and bad principles personified became also objects of worship."
(Morals and Dogmas, Albert Pike)
"The sources of our knowledge of the kabalistic doctrines are the books of Yetzirah and Zohar, the former drawn up in the second century, and the latter a little later; but they contain materials much older than themselves... In them, as in the teachings of Zoroaster, everything that exists emanates from a source of infinite Light."
(Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma).
"Alexandrian Jewish Philosophers, were ardent propagandists, eager to make proselytes, and for this purpose endeavored to adapt Judaism to Hellenism, persuaded that without the law and without Israel to practice it, the world would cease to be, the world would be happy only when subject to this universal Law, that is, to the empire of the Jew."
(Le Probläme Juif, Georges Batault)
"Have we to fear the great part of the nation which knows not our projects, and would not be disposed to lend us their support?... If they disapprove of them, it will be only timidly, without clamor. For the rest, does the nation know what it wants? We will make it want and say what it has never thought of... The nation is a large herd which thinks only of browsing, and which, with good dogs, the shepherds lead at will...
One will have to impose upon the bourgeoisie who sees nothing to lose, but all to gain by the change. To stir it up one has the most powerful motives: poverty, hunger, money, rumors of alarm and fear, the frenzy of terror and rage with which we will strike their minds...
What will we do with all this people while muzzling their principles of honesty and justice? Good men are feeble and timid; it is the blackguards who are determined. It is advantageous to people during revolutions to have no morals... there is not a single one of our old virtues which can serve us... All that is necessary for revolution, all that is useful to it is just - that is the great principle."
(Memories by Marmontel; The Trail of the Serpent, Inquire Within, Miss Stoddard, p. 73).
"There is no race in the world more enigmatic, more fatal, and, therefore, more interesting than the Jews. Every writer who, like yourself, is oppressed by the aspect of the present and embarrassed by his anxieties for the future must try to elucidate the Jewish question and its bearing upon our age.
For the question of the Jews and their influence on the world, past and present, cuts to the root of all things."
(World Significance of the Russian Revolution, 1920, George Pitt-Rivers, by the Jew, Dr. Oscar Levy, The Trail of the Serpent, Inquire Within, Miss Stoddard, p. 91).
"It is essential to isolate the man from his family and cause him to lose his morals... He loves the long talks of the cafe, the idleness of the shows. Entice him, draw him away, give him any kind of importance, teach him discreetly to tire of his daily work, and in this way... after having shown him how tiresome all duties are, inculcate in him the desire for another existence.
Man is born a rebel. Stir up his desire for rebellion as far as the fire, but let not the conflagration burst out! It is a preparation for the great work which you must begin. When you have insinuated in several minds the distaste of family and religion, let drop certain words which will incite the desire to become affiliated to the nearest lodge.
This vanity of the bourgeois to identify himself with Freemasonry has something so banal and so universal that I am ever in admiration before human stupidity... "
(Letter to the Jews Nubius and Petit-Tigre or Piccolo-Tigre, dated January 18, 1822, from the superior agents of the Piedmontese Vente).
"... We aspire to corrupt in order to attain to govern... We have corrupted too much... I begin to fear that we will not be able to stem the torrent we have let loose. There are insatiable passions of which I did not guess, unknown appetites, savage hatreds which ferment around and under us...
It has been very easy to pervert; will it also always be easy to muzzle the perverts?... I am disturbed, for I am getting old, I have lost my illusions, I do not wish, poor and deluded of everything to assist as a theatrical supernumerary in the triumph which I have created and which would repudiate me by confiscating my fortune and taking off my head.
We have gone too much to the extreme in many things. We have taken from the people all the gods of heaven and earth which had their homage. We have torn from them their religious faith, their faith in monarchy, their honesty and their family virtues, and we hear in the distance their sinister roarings. We tremble, for the monster may devour us... The world is cinched on the declivity of democracy, and for some time for me democracy has meant demagogy.
"From Ptolemy Philadelphus until the middle of the third century the Alexandria Jews, with the object of maintaining and strengthening their propaganda, devoted themselves to an extraordinary work of falsification of real texts as a support for their cause. The verses of AEschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, of the pretended Oracles of Orpheus, preserved in Aristobulus and the Stromata of Clemens of Alexandria, thus celebrated the One God and the Sabbath.
Historians were falsified, still more they attributed entire works to them, and it is thus that they placed a History of the Jews under the name of HÇcatee d'Abdäre. The most important of these inventions was that of the Sibylline Oracles, fabricated entirely by the Alexandrian Jews, which announced the future era, when the reign of One God would eventuate.
The Jews even attempted to ascribe to themselves Greek literature and philosophy. In a commentary on the Pentateuch which Eusebius has preserved to us. Aristobulus endeavored to show how Plato and Aristotle had found their metaphysical and ethical ideas in an old Greek translation of the Pentateuch."
(L'AntisÇmitisme, Benard Lazare)
"Manichaean doctrines were thus being diffused during the period when the Templars were at the height of their prosperity and power, and King devotes several pages of his work to a consideration of the close resemblance between these Orders.
Gnosticism, he points out, in one shape or another, was still surviving on the very headquarters of the Order, among their closest allies or enemies, the mountaineers of Syria."
(Secret Sects of Syria, Springett; The Trail of the Serpent, Miss Stoddard, p. 33-34)
"There are a certain number of people who have arrived at the highest degree of imposture. They have conceived the project of reigning over opinions, and of conquering, not kingdoms, nor provinces, but the human mind. This project is gigantic, and has something of madness in it, which causes neither alarm nor uneasiness; but when we descend to details, when we regard what passes before our eyes of the hidden principles, when we perceive a sudden revolution in favor of ignorance and incapacity, we must look for the cause of it; and if we find that a revealed and known system explains all the phenomena which succeed each other with terrifying rapidity, how can we not believe it?...
Observe that the members of the Mystical Confederation are numerous enough in themselves, but not relatively so to the men they must deceive... Indeed, to realize this proportion one must get a just idea of the force of combined man (was not Mazzini's cry 'Associate, Associate'?).
A thread cannot raise a pound's weight, a thousand threads will raise the anchor of a ship... also man is a feeble being, imperfect... but if several men mix together half-qualities they temper and strengthen each other... the weak yield to the stronger, the most skilful draw from each what he can supply.
Some watch while others act, and this formidable ensemble arrives at its goal, whatever it may be... It was according to this that the sect of the Illuminati was formed. One cannot, it is true, either name its founders or prove the epochs of its existence, or mark the steps of its growth, for its essence is the secret; its acts take place in darkness, its evasive Grand Priests are lost in the crowd. However, it has penetrated sufficient things to astonish and draw the attention of observers, friends of humanity, to the mysterious steps of the sectaries."
(Essai sur la secte des IlluminÇs (1879), Mason de Luchet)
"The exegesis which consists in distorting texts in order to bring out of them what they desired is the only 'science' which can be traced to the Jews. It became in the hands of the Judeo-Alexandrians, a formidable arm which, by the perfidious force of their veiled lies, enrolled Hellenism, in spite of itself, into the service of the excelusivism and the religious proselytism of the Israelites.
The attempt to 'Judaise' Hellenism, which today appears to us so perfectly absurd and disastrous, has had, nevertheless, the result of obscuring the intelligence of humanity for hundreds of years."
(Le Probläme Juif, Georges Batault)
"Besides the Freemasons, there rose up a kindred association, the 'Order of the Illuminati,' which from the very beginning, was intended as an anti-Jesuit organization. Its founder, Weishaupt, a professor of Ingolstadt, heartily hated the Jesuits, and formed his league of Illuminati with the express intention 'of using for good ends the means which the Jesuit order had employed for bad'; this means consisted mainly in the introduction of an obligation of unconditional obedience, reminiscent of Loyola's Constitutions; of a far-reaching mutual surveillance among the membership of the order; and a kind of auricular confession, which every inferior had to make to his superior."
(The Power and Secret of the Jesuits (1930), FÅlîp-Miller; The Trail of the Serpent, Miss Stoddard, p. 68-69).
"Equality and liberty are the essential rights which man in his original and primitive perfection received from nature. The first attack upon this equality was made by property; the first attack upon liberty was made by political societies or Governments; the sole supports of property and Governments are the religious and civil laws.
Therefore, to establish man in his primitive rights of equality and liberty, we must begin by destroying all religion, all civil society, and finish by abolishing property. These few lines indicate the root idea of Masonry and all secret societies; the germ is found in the symbolic grades, it is scientifically developed in the high grades, and brutally realized in the communism of the International and the anarchism of Bakunin and Socialist democracy."
(Adam Weishaupt, The Trail of the Serpent, Miss Stoddard, p. 80).
"Weishaupt aimed at nothing less than the complete overthrow of authority, nationality, and the whole social system, in a word, the suppression of property... As to his principle, it was absolute and blind obedience, universal espionage, the end justifies the means.
This system of conspiracy so strongly organized which would have upheaved the world, spread through Germany, where it seized almost all the Masonic Lodges. Weishaupt sent to France Joseph Balsamo, so-called Comte Cagliostro, to illuminize French Masonry. Finally he assembled a Congress at Wilhelmsbad in 1782, to which he convoked all German and foreign lodges... In 1785 the Illuminati were revealed to the Bavarian Government, who, terrified, appealed to all Governments, but the Protestant Princes showed little haste in suppressing it.
Weishapt found refuge with the Prince de Saxe-Gotha. He had for the rest taken great care not to tell everything to the Princes, or even to many of his initiates; he had hidden from them the appeal to the force of the masses; he had hidden from them the Revolution."
(Masonic report, l'Ordre de Nantes, April 23, 1883; Marie-Antionette et le Complot Maáonnique (1910), Louis DastÇ; The Rìle of Freemasonry in the XVIIIth Century, F ... Bruneliäre; The Trail of the Serpent, Miss Stoddard, p. 70-71).
"The Bund, or General Union of the Jewish Workers, was founded in 1897. It is a political and economic association of the proletarian Jews... It carried on active propaganda in Yiddish... [it] served as model to those who fought for liberty and were pioneers of the Russian Revolution.
There was not a political organization in the vast Empire which was not influenced by the Jews or directed by them, the Social-Democrats, the Revolutionary Socialist parties, and the Polish Socialist Party, all had Jews among their directors... "
(The Pioneers of the Russian Revolution (1918), Poale Sion; The Trail of the Serpent, Miss Stoddard, p. 106).
Jackie Kennedy was Jewish. From the New York Post, Wednesday, November 9, 1995: "Jackie Jewish? Don't ask Gore: The Kennedy clan may want to shout 'Mazel tov!' when John Jr. finally gets hitched, given the ethnic surprise buried deep inside Gore Vidal's much-hyped autobiography.
For any reader sturdy enough to make it to the end of 'Palimpsest: A Memoir,' Vidal stuns students of Jackie Kennedy Onasis by claiming her mother, Janet was Jewish. Janet, who had Jackie with her husband John 'Black Jack' Bouvier, eventually divorced him and married Hugh Auchincloss, who was also Vidal's stepfather.
In the book, after offering a couple of tasteless Jackie details early on, such as how she taught post-sex feminine hygiene to Vidal's half-sister Nina, Vidal offhandedly writes on page 372, 'One should note that the first Hughdie's (Hugh Dudley Auchincloss) three high-powered wives was Russian, the second my mother, the third Jackie's mother, Janet, born Lee or, as my mother used to observe thoughtfully, Levy.
Vidal continues, 'Apparently, Janet's father had changed his name in order to become the first Jew to be a vice president of the Morgan bank. My mother wondered how Hughdie, a quiet but sincere anti-Semite, would respond when he found out.' As for Janet Lee, he writes she used to say she was 'of the Virginia Lees'... until the real Lees ordered her to shut up.'...
"The real author of the Five-Years' Plan, Kaganovitz, is a Jew, and what is more, a great favorite of Stalin."
(Jewish World, June 25, 1931)
"It is well to observe that in April 1917, the Judeo-Mason and financier of Wall Street, Jacob Schiff, head of the firm of Kuhn Loeb and Co., had publicly boasted of having had a share inthe Russian Revolution."
(Le Temps de la Coläre (1932), R. Vallery-Radot)
"Kings, nobles, the aristocracy of money, employees of the police or of the administration, priests, and permanent armies are the enemies of mankind. Against them one has every right and every duty. All is permitted to annihilate them: violence, ruse, shot and shell, poison, and the dagger; the end sanctifies the means."
(L'Allance humanitaire universelle; The Trail of the Serpent, Miss Stoddard, p. 107).
"Alexandria, newly built, was colonized by the Jews, who came in crowds to people the new town. The result was a mixture of men of different nations and religions, who gave rise to several philosophical and religious associations. Platonism was publicly taught by the Greeks in Alexandria, it was eagerly received by the Alexandrian Jews, who communicated it to the Jews of Judea and Palestine...
In Egypt and Judea, before the commencement of Christianity the philosophy of Pythagoras and Plato had thrust deep roots among the Jews, which gave rise to the dogmas of the Essenes, Therapeuts, Sadducees, Carpocratians, Cabalistic-Gnostics, Basilideans, and Manichaeans; all these dogmatists adapted part of the doctrine of the Egyptian Magi and Priests of the above philosophy. They spread in time into Asia, Africa, and Europe. These different Jews preserved the mysteries of the Temple of Solomon with the allegory of the Grand Architect, who was the Jewish Messiah, an idea still preserved by the Jew today."
(Reghellini de Schio, in 1833)
"By this time, I fancy, your Excellency is satisfied that I was wrong in supposing J. de Neufville as much a Jew as any in Jerusalem, since Jacob was not content with any per cents, but took the whole of his Brother Esau's Birthright, and his Posterity did the same by the Canaanites, and cut their Throats into the Bargain; which, in my Conscience, I do not think Mr. J. de Meufville has the least Inclination to do by us, while he can get anything by our being alive."
(The Writings of Benjamin Franklin, Vol. 8, The MacMillian Co., p. 345).
"The Kassideans or Assideans... arose either during the Captivity or soon after the restoration... The Essenians were, however, undoubtedly connected with the Temple (of Solomon), as their origin is derived by the learned Scalier, with every appearance of truth, from the Kassideans, a fraternity of Jewish devotees, who, in the language of Laurie, had associated together as 'Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem.'...
From the Essenians Pythagoras derived much, if not all, of the knowledge and the ceremonies with which he clothed the esoteric school of his philosophy."
(Lexicon of Freemasonry, Albert G. Mackay, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council 33o for the Southern Jurisdiction).
"The Cabal is of two kinds, theoretical and practical, with the practical Cabala, which is engaged in the construction of talismans and amulets, we have nothing to do.
The theoretical is divided into the lineal and dogmatic.
The dogmatic is nothing more than the summary of the metaphysical doctrine taught by the Cabalist doctors. It is, in other words, the system of the Jewish philosophy."
(Albert Mackay, Lexicon of Freemasonry).
"To you, Mr. President (Franklin D. Roosevelt), we say: Neither you nor any of your (Jewish) Roosevelt ancestors has ever fought in any war for America, notwithstanding they have lived in and off New York City, since Colonial days, as big merchants and money-changers. We tell you we want to live and be happy, to delve, to work, to succeed, to fail, to fall, to rise, to know the uses of adversity, to 'treat the blows of circumstance,' to have our homes, however humble; to provide for our wives and children, to rear our sons, to aid and comfort our sick, poor and helpless without regard to race, creed or color, to serve Christ and country free from Europe's incessant strife, to seek the pathways of the just, to do our bit for humanity and America, and to defend our native land to the last drop of blood;
but we and our posterity demand freedom from tribal wars on foreign soil and the right to have our say as to whether we die on the Rhine and become Europe's cannon fodder. We deny your right by sly parallel understandings and secret negotiations, aided by press, radio, war-mongers, fellow travelers and foreign scum, who have become our arrogant, demanding guests, to traffic in our blood, birthright and security. 'Lord, God of Hosts, be with us yet, lest we forget - lest we forget.'"
(Cincinnatus, War! War! War!, p. 8)
"Israel's shooting down of a civilian airplane and then the killing of 107 innocent peopel aboard, and their raid into neutral Lebanon are very dangerous developments. There's only one way I can see to stop it... is for the United States to take a very strong stand that this has to be settled... politically settled."
(William J. Fulbright).
"It is true that there is a distinct 'Jewish idea' in business and professional life which has eaten away the traditional principles of honor on which Anglo-Saxon life was erected. Every Jew knows that, every non-Jew knows it... It is true that beneath all the network of trivializing influences in literature, art, politics, economics, fashion, and sports, is Jewish influence controlled by Jewish groups.
Their Orientalism has served as a subtle poison to dry up the sound serum of Anglo-Saxon morality on which this country thrived in its formative years."
(The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem, Vol. IV, pp. 224-225).
"The doctrines which the Jews have been spreading throughout the lands for years could not but have helped to undermine the Church's power."
(A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 272).
"So against both the Albigenses and Huguenots this (Jewish) pope now directed all his fury... The beautiful city of Beziers was razed to the ground.
'We spared neither dignity, nor sex nor age' writes the monk, Arnold, to his Holy Father, the pope.
'Nearly twenty thousand human beings perished by the sword. And after the massacre the town was plundered and burnt, and the revenge of God seemed to rage over it in a wonderful manner."
(A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 224).
"Well, we have the leverage in the sense that we supply all the wherewithal... or a major part of the wherewithal to finance or to pay for everything Israel does.
"We don't have any leverage in the sense that Israel controls the Senate. The Senate is at least... a subservient, in my opinion, much too much. We should be more concerned about the United States' interest, rather than doing the bidding of Israel. This is a most unusual development."
(Senator William J. Fulbright).
But almost always conversion on these terms was only outward and false. Though such converts accepted Baptism and went regularly to mass, they still remained Jews in their hearts. They were called Marranos, 'Accursed Ones,' and there were perhaps a hundred thousand of them. Often they possessed enormous wealth.
Their daughters married into the noblest families, even into the blood royal, and their sons sometimes entered the Church and rose to the highest offices.
It is said that even one of the popes (Pope Leo X, Pope Clement VII was just two of them, as related in Philip II, William Thomas Walsh) was of this Marrano stock."
(A Program for the Jews and Humanity, Rabbi Harry Waton, p. 234-235).
i ibn Shaprut, who was foreign minister to Abd-al-Rahman, Sultan of Cordova, in his letter to King Joseph of the Chazars (about 960 A.D.)... speaks of the tradition according to which the Chazars once dwelt near the Seir Mountains [The 'Seir Mountains' are none other than the original land of Esau-Edom - 'Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.' {Genesis 36:8}. Seir was a mountain range sought of the Dead Sea and was also known as the 'land of Edom' {Genesis 36:21}.
The Seir mountains were the home of the Edomites for nearly a millennium {The Edomites arrived in Edom or Seir at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 13th century B.C. Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol. 6, p. 372} Thus we have it from Jewish sources that the Khazars originally 'dwell near the Seir Mountains' so are racially of Edomite stock. But how and when did Edomites get to Khazaria?
There is evidence that in the 6th century B.C., some of the Edomites fled their homeland of Seir and migrated north, 'After the fall of Jerusalem, in 586 B.C., the Edomites began to press northward {Ezekiel 36:5} {The New Westminster Dictionary of the Bible, ed. by Henry S. Gehman, The Westminster Press, Philadelphia, 1970, p. 418}]."
(The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. IV, (1905), p. 3).
"John Hyrcanus conquered the whole of Edom and undertook the forced conversion of its inhabitants to Judaism (Joseph., Ant. XIII, 9, 1). Thenceforth the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people."
(Encyclopedia Judaica, Vol. 6, (1971), p. 378; The New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia (1977), p. 589).
"Thus, at this juncture of time the Edomites 'were incorporated with the Jewish nation, and their country was called by the Greeks and Romans 'Idumea' (Mark 3:8; Ptolemy, 'Geography,' v. 16)."
(The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. V. (1904), p. 41).
"... the large majority of surviving Jews in the world of Eastern European, and thus perhaps mainly of Khazar origin. If so, this would mean that their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan, but from the Caucasus... and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
(Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe, Random House, 1967, p. 17).
"Immediately before the siege of Jerusalem 20,000 Idumeans appeared before Jerusalem to fight in behalf of the Zealots who were besieged in the Temple."
(The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. V. (1904), p. 41).
"There is an abundance of ancient place names in the Ukraine and Poland, which derive from 'Khazar' or 'Zhid' (Jew)."
(Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe, Random House, 1967, p. 145).
"Our major vice of old, as of today, is parasitism. We are a people of vultures living on the labor and the good nature of the rest of the world... What a sorry spectacle the Jews makes on this continent which he pretends to have enriched! Not only does he fail to contribute any glamor [culture and art] to the scene. He does not even contribute man-power.
He does not dig wells, plough fields, forge skyscrapers, lay bricks, cut out trenches, spin wheels, bake dough, fell trees, pack tin cans, sweep streets, heave coal, fire furnaces, weave cloth, dig subways, raise ramparts, wall floods, rivet bridges, hinge gates, or fight fires...
Towards the man-power of America, Jewry contributes only that which it catches in its own sweatshops, as in so many rat traps - set by itself. It seems to be part of the Jew's unwritten code that he should never work. Unless something happens to change his vision, I venture to add that he never will, either...
I cannot find anything of value that the Jews have created in their 250 years residence on the American continent."
(Samuel Roth, Jews Must Live, The Golden Hind Press, New York (1934), pp. 56, 101, 108).
"The reason these general monopolies are formed by Jews is that the Jew is international, tenacious and determined upon reaching the very end of his task. He is not satisfied in any trade until that trade is, as far as possible, under his complete control, and he has for the extension of that control the support of his brethren throughout the world.
He has at the same time the international knowledge and international indifference which further aid his efforts. But even were the quite recent monopolies in metal and other trades taken, as they ought to be taken, from these few alien masters of them, there would remain that partial monopoly... which a few Jews have exercised not only today, but recurrently throughout history, over the highest finance; that is, over the credit of the nations, and therefore today, as never before, over the whole field of the world's industry."
(Hilaire Belloc, The Jews, p. 94).
"The Bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews and ninety per cent of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or any other country, but are internationalists, and they are trying to start a world-wide social revolution."
(Russia From the American Embassy, by David R. Francis, p. 214).
"... the Idumeans (Edomites) were... made Jews... and a Turkish people (Khazars) were mainly Jews in South Russia... The main part of Jewry never was in Judea and had never come out of Judea."
(H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, 3rd ed., MacMillian, 1921, p. 494).
"... the original mixed ancestry of the Jews and their subsequent history of intermixture with every people among whom they have lived and continue to live... "
(Ashley Montagu, Man's Most Dangerous Myth, (1974) , p. 375).
"The Jews cannot be classed as a 'race' per se, they are an ethnic group. '... the Jews form an ethnic group; that like all ethnic groups they have their own racial elements distributed in their own proportions; like all or most ethnic groups they have their 'look,' a part of their cultural heritage that both preserves and expresses their cultural solidarity... they have developed a special racial sub-type and a special pattern of facial and bodily expression."
(Carleton S. Coon, The Races of Europe, The MacMillian Co., N.Y. (1939), p. 442).
"The genius of the Jew is to live off people; not off land, nor off the production of commodities from raw material, 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 manufacturers; the Jew will exploit the fruits of their work. That is his peculiar genius."
(The International Jew; The World's Foremost Problem, Dearborn Publishing Co., (1921), Vol. II, p. 31).
"The word 'ghetto' is synonymous with the Jews: 'ghetto, section of a city in which Jews lived. In the early Middle Ages their segregation in separate streets or localities was voluntary... The reason generally given for compulsory ghettos was that the faith of Christians would be weakened by the presence of Jews. Within the ghetto the inhabitants were usually autonomous, with their own courts of law and their own culture."
(The Columbia Encyclopedia, 2nd Ed., (1950), p. 772).
"It was (is) the instinctive policy with the mass of the Jewish nation, a deliberate policy with most of its leaders, not only to use ridicule against anti-Semitism but to label as 'anti-Semitic' any discussion of the Jewish problem at all, or, for that matter, any information even on the Jewish problem...
If a man alluded to the presence of a Jewish financial power in any region, for instance, in India, he was an anti-Semite. If he interested himself in the peculiar character of Jewish philosophical discussions, especially in matters concerning religion, he was an anti-Semite.
If the emigrations of the Jewish masses from country to country, the vast modern invasion of the United States, for instance (which has been organized and controlled like an army on the march), interested him as an historian, he could not speak of it under pain of being called an anti-Semite. If he exposed a financial swindler who happened to be a Jew, he was an anti-Semite.
If he exposed a group of Parliamentarians taking money from the Jews, he was called an anti-Semite. If he did no more than call a Jew a Jew, he was an anti- Semite. You cannot long confuse interest with hatred, the statement of plain and important truths with mania, the discussion of fundamental questions with silly enthusiasm, for the same reason that you cannot long confuse truth with falsehood. Sooner or later people are bound to remark that the defendant seems curiously anxious to avoid all investigation of his case...
I say it was a fatal policy; but it was deliberately undertaken by the Jews."
(Hilaire Belloc, The Jews, pp. 160-161).
"It has unfortunately now become a habit for so many generations, that it has almost passed into an instinct throughout the Jewish body, to rely upon the weapon of secrecy. Secret societies, a language kept as far as possible secret, the use of false names in order to hide secret movements, secret relations between various parts of the Jewish body: all these and other forms of secrecy have become the national method."
(Hilaire Belloc, The Jew, p. 99).
"Take the particular trick of false names. It seems to us particularly odious. We think when we show our contempt for those who use this subterfuge that we are giving them no more than they deserve. It is a meanness which we associate with criminals and vagabonds; a piece of crawling and sneaking...
Men whose race is universally known, will unblushingly adopt a false name as a mask, and after a year or two pretend to treat it as an insult if their original and true name be used in its place."
(Hilaire Belloc, The Jew, pp. 100, 102).
"When the immigration policies of Israel were directed toward making a home for refugees, it was proper to have those activities supported by tax-free American contributions.
The present policies are not refugee policies. They are the policies inherent to the Zionist program... an ingathering of the Jews from all over the earth.
Whether they are oppressed or not, whether they are needy or not, matters not so long as they are Jews... bring them into the new Zion no matter what injustices are perpetrated on the former owners of the land.
Not one penny of tax-free American money should go into this project. In fairness to American taxpayers, the Treasury must re-examine the tax-free status of contributions to the United Jewish Appeal."
(Hon. Ralph E. Flanders, former Senator from Vermont, July 30, 1958, in one of ten speeches before the U.S. Senate on the middle East Situation).
"London became after Waterloo the money market and the clearing house of the world ... Every new economic enterprise of the British state appealed to the Jewish genius for commerce and especially for negotiation in its most abstract form - finance...
The two things dovetailed one into the other and fitted exactly, and all subsidiary activities fitted in as well. The Jewish news agencies of the nineteenth century favored England in all her policy, political as well as commercial; they opposed those of her rivals and especially of her enemies.
