For a certain reason: because after Jesus' crucifixion...

There was no way for the Jews to be politically powerful, so their whole mind turned to the second power - money. They became focused on money.

Jews are hated because they have immense...

That too creates a little hatred, because if everything is reduced to money, if...

Then everything is reduced to money. That, too, creates hatred. So poor people hate them, and rich people also hate them. Because money is a very low value - powerful, immensely powerful! - but a lower value. And Jews don't think...

And the gold is very close by!'Gilt','guilt','Geld','gold' somehow deep down a great guilt is involved in money. Whenever you have money you feel guilty... and it is natural because so many people don't have money. How can you avoid guilt? Whenever you have money you...

The more money you have...

..., the more these things will be there erupting in your consciousness; you will feel guilty. Charity is to unburden you from your guilt, so you say, "I am doing something: I going to open a hospital, going to open a college. I give money to this charity fund, to that trust...." You feel a little happier. The world has lived in poverty, the world has lived in scarcity, ninety-nine percent of...

... people have lived a poor life, almost starving and dying, and only one percent of people have lived with richness, with money - they have always felt guilty.

The text is [H], which may mean 'ass' or 'wine', and Rashi translates 'ass'. The reason is that in Rashi's...

... opinion, this assumption, viz. that the vendor's repeated demand for money proves that he sold the article only because he was hard pressed, applies only to land or such articles which are not normally sold, such as an ass which is kept for work on the land; but in the case of wine, which is a normal article of sale, it proves nothing, and hence the consequences drawn from it do not hold good (Maharam...

... for it. They do not arise from prayers, because prayers are addressed to a fictitious God, who does not exist. It happened in America: a poor man ... his wife was dying, and he had no money to purchase medicine or call a doctor, or have her admitted to a hospital. In desperation he thought of a great idea: "Why not write a letter to God, just for fifty dollars, not much. And for a God who is...

...? What is his strategy? The strategy is: if somebody dies, in the dead person's memory you send him the money, and the money will be sent into your account in paradise. Millions of dollars he accumulates, and the blind believers think that the money is reaching into their bank accounts. I was staying with a friend in Surat, who is a Khoja, a follower of the Aga Khan. I asked him, "Your father has...

... died. How much money have you sent?" He said, "Three lakh rupees." I asked, "Have you got the bank account number?" He said, "The account number?" I said, "When you reach to paradise, how will you find which is your bank account where the money is deposited?" He said, "That's right." And I said, "You are a well-educated man, a doctor, and...

... you could not think of a simple thing? You could not see how the Aga Khan goes on throwing money all around the world? From where does this money come? From which account?" The Aga Khan's hobby is racehorses. He is the greatest bidder all over the world, and wherever there is a race meeting, he immediately rushes to that place. This palace here has been made because Poona has a race meeting...

... palace he is ready to sell. There is another sect I have come across which is even more stupid. At least this money reaches to the Aga Khan, it does not go further -- but that cult puts the money in the coffin. Your father dies, you put ten lakh rupees into the coffin, and it goes into the graveyard. Again, I was a guest in a house with a friend, who was a professor and had been my colleague. I said...

..., "You also think that money will enter into heaven with your father's soul?" He said, "Yes. My whole religion believes it; so many people cannot be wrong." This argument I have heard so many times that I have made my own argument: If there are so many people agreed on something, they must be wrong! So many people cannot be right. Right belongs to very rare people; crowds cannot be...

..., "Look, those notes are here. You are an idiot, and your whole religion is stupid! Take these notes!" There was a moment of grave silence. I said, "You take them or I will take them!" He immediately took them out, and I said, "Now you do the remaining work, you have taken the money! I am going. You push the coffin in, put in the mud, cover it, do whatever you want -- but I have...

So Buddha's statement will be, "It is better to receive than to give." The giver is a poor man, he has nothing else than money. I was in Jaipur, one of the most beautiful cities of India. The man who was making Jaipur...

... so rich, he was far richer than the king. In creating Jaipur, the king had borrowed much money from Sohanlal Dugar. Nobody knew how much money that man had, because he had no books. He told me, "I don't have any books, so I don't pay any income tax. Nobody knows how much I have." And then I found out where his books were. He had written them in his bathroom on the walls, in a language...

... ten thousand rupees at my feet. He said, "You have to accept them!" I said, "But I don't need them right now. You can keep them on my behalf. Whenever I need them I will inform you, 'Send me the money.'" He said, "That cannot be done -- because I am a gambler. Today I have, tomorrow I may not have." He was one of the greatest gamblers you can conceive of. He was known...

You have to accept them right now." Seeing that I was not interested in accepting the money, because I don't have even pockets to keep it, so where to keep it? -- just to carry ten thousand rupees in my hands? ... I don't have...

... sitting by the side of my couch in the train. Anybody can take them; I cannot just remain watching them." He said, "Listen ..." He had tears in his eyes, and he was an old man, more than seventy. He said, "Listen, just look at my tears. I am a poor man, because I don't have anything except money." I have not forgotten his statement, I have not forgotten his tears. I have nothing...

... to say to such a man who says, "I am so poor, I have nothing but money, and if you reject money you reject me. Please don't reject me. It will become a wound in me. Nobody has ever rejected me!" So I said, "Okay. For your sake I take the money." I gave half the money to the organization that had arranged the meeting and had been arranging meetings for me for years, and the other...

... half I gave to Jaipur's library to purchase more and more agnostic literature, which is neither theist nor atheist, but purely of those who are inquirers, seekers. He came with me to leave me on the railway station. He said, "I am so happy that you accepted, although you gave it away -- but that is not my problem. It was your money, you have given it. You have accepted it, so I am at ease. I...

... have never felt so happy. You have made me so blissed out, I am grateful to you. Just one promise I want ..." I said, "You are now getting greedy!" He said, "I am greedy, otherwise why should I collect so much money? Just one promise ..." I said, "Let me first hear it." He said, "No. Do you want me to cry again?" I said, "No, I don't want that...

... three months you are going to be my guest." But the way he said, "I am the poorest man in the world because I don't have anything else than money. If you reject the money, you reject me. Don't do that to an old man, the wound may be fatal" -- this is far greater than this Christian statement: "It is better to give than to receive." I have a friend in Jabalpur, who is the...

... relative, but seeing possibilities they adopted me, they educated me. Now they are dead, and I am the sole owner of a great empire. Because I have so much money, I have raised my old family also to be very rich, my brothers, my cousin-brothers, my friends. The people I knew I have helped as much as possible. Whatever they wanted ... they all have beautiful cars, they all have beautiful houses, they have...

... on giving their beautiful girls? -- only beautiful girls are chosen by the priests, by the saints -- because, in India particularly, to have a daughter is to have a catastrophe. To get her married you may have to sell your house, your business, your land, everything. You have to give so much money, because the parents of the boy to whom you are marrying your daughter ask for money. They have...

All the money is in the hands of the husband; she is just a commodity. Because you have reduced the woman into a commodity she is constantly watching where you are going, what you are doing. She is looking into your...

Then Jack takes a dusty old Bible off the bookshelf and sets it on the table next to the money. "Now," says Jack excitedly, "if he takes the Bible, for sure he will grow up to be a great TV evangelist like Jimmy Bakker...

"My goodness," says Mrs. Jerk, "what does that mean he will grow up to be?" "Ah!" cries her husband, "it means he is going to be a politician!" Justice Dung is the presiding judge in a case...

At this moment you are the most blessed people on the earth. The whole world is looking for mundane things -- for very ordinary, mediocre, outward commodities: money, power, prestige. All...

There has never been persecution...

... didn't like the Czar, and they didn't want Russia to win this war. So the German bankers — the German-Jews — Kuhn Loeb and the other big banking firms in the United States refused to finance France or England to the extent of one dollar. They stood aside and they said: “As long as France and England are tied up with Russia, not one cent!” But they poured money into Germany, they...

When Germany refused to surrender to the World Conference of Jews, Jews declare a "Holy War" against Germany Well, in 1933 when Germany refused to surrender, mind you, to the World Conference of Jews in Amsterdam, they broke up and Mr. Untermeyer came back...

... boycott against us and throw all our people out of work, and our industries come to a standstill? Who are they to do that to us?" They naturally resented it. Certainly they painted swastikas on stores owned by Jews. Why should a German go in and give their money to a storekeeper who was part of a boycott who was going to starve Germany into surrender into the Jews of the world, who were going to dictate...

... dollars of your money for defense, they say. Defense against whom? Defense against 40,000 little Jews in Moscow that took over Russia, and then, in their devious ways, took over control of many other governments of the world. Now, for this country to now be on the verge of a Third World War, from which we cannot emerge a victor, is something that staggers my imagination. I know that nuclear bombs are...

It doesn't make any difference to me whether you know all these facts or not, but it does make a difference to me. I've got, in my family, boys that will have to be in the next war, and I don't want them to go and fight and die... like they died in Korea. Like they...

I'm not as flush as I was. I cannot go on spending the money... I'm not going to take up a collection. Don't worry. I see five people getting up to leave.

... thing in the whole world, as a death-blow to the fight Christians are making to survive. So I just want to tell you this. All they do is circulate rumors: "Mr. Benjamin H. Freedman is the wealthy backer of 'Common Sense'." The reason they do that is to discourage the people in the United States: don't send any money to Common Sense. They don't need it. The've got the wealthy Mr. Freedman as a backer...

He explains that the paper is going in debt; could be...

... Canal So the same disunity is among the Jews. And I'll show you in this same document that when they went to France to try and get the French government to back that Zionist venture, there was only one Jew in France who was for it. That was Rothschild, and they did it because they were interested in the oil and the Suez Canal. Extortion of money [Question inaudible] Freedman: You know why? Because if...

.... Treasury as income tax. So what happens? That seven billion dollars deficit — that air pocket — the gullible Christians have to make up. They put a bigger tax on gasor bread or corporation tax. Somebody has to pay the housekeeping expenses for the government. So why do you let these people send their money over there to buy guns to drive people out of their ancient homeland? So why do you let...

... these people send their money over there to buy guns to drive people out of their ancient homeland? And you say, "Oh, well. The poor Jews. They have no place to go and they've been persecuted all their lives". There has never been persecution of "Jews" for their religion They've never been persecuted for their religion. And I wish I had two rows of Rabbis here to challenge me. Never once, in all of...

... Jew. But do you know why they were driven out? Because in the Christian faith and the Moslem faith it's a sin to charge 'rent' for the use of money. In other words - what we call interest [usury] is a sin. So the Jews had a monopoly in England and they charged so much interest, and when the Lords and Dukes couldn't pay, they [Jews] foreclosed. And they were creating so much trouble that the king of...

... England finally made himself their partner, because when they came to foreclose, some of these dukes bumped off the Jews... the money-lenders. So the king finally said — and this is all in history, look up Tianson [Tennyson?] or Rourke, the History of the Jews in England; two books you can find in your library. King Edward the First declared himself a fifty-percent partner of the money lenders...

... When the king found out what the trouble was all about, and how much money they were making, he declared himself a fifty-percent partner of the money lenders. Edward the First. And for many years, one-third of the revenues of the British Treasury came from the fifty-percent interest in money-lending by the Jews. But it got worse and worse and the king finally had drive the Jews out But it got worse...

... and worse. So much worse that when the Lords and Dukes kept killing the money-lenders, the King then said, "I declare myself the heir of all the money-lenders. If they're killed you have to pay me, because I'm his sole heir". That made so much trouble, because the King had to go out and collect the money with an army, so he told the Jews to get out. There were 15,000 of them, and they had to get out...

When Benjamin Franklin referred to them as Jews because that's the name that they went by, and when the Christians first heard that these people who were fleeing from Russia — who they were — that they had practiced this Talmudic faith — the Christians in Western Europe said, "They must be the remnants of the lost ten tribes!" When they have money they become...

...... they say it themselves. I can give you half a dozen books they've written in which they say the same thing: When they have money they become tyrants. And when they become defeated, they become ruthless. They're only barbarians. They're the descendants of Asiatic Mongols and they will do anything to accomplish their purpose. What right did they have to take over Russia the way they did? What right did...
