Trumpdom No. 6  Revealing the puppeteers who govern America and by extension its allies.

On the night of June 21/25, Trump announced on TV that he sent bombers to blast three sites in Iran where Iran’s nuclear plants were enriching uranium—done at the request of Israel’s Netanyahu, whose assassins had killed eight of ten Iranian nuclear scientists and several Iranian military leaders. This fateful decision, which might cause World War III, was made by generals in the Pentagon, at the behest of the all-powerful civil-military bureaucracy, dubbed the deep state. 

Israel’s assassinations of Iran’s scientists and military leaders were effected by Mossad agents who infiltrated Iran’s government and planned the killings years in advance. Iran can now clean out its traitors. The surprise aerial bombing by Israel destroyed Iran’s fighter planes but Iran’s missiles by-passed Israel’s air defences and destroyed military insulations and civilian structures throughout the small nation to such an extent that Israel quickly agreed to a cease-fire. Despite President Trump’s angry insistence to the contrary, U.S. super-bombs did not do much damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities, which were sheltered in mountains and from which the enriched uranium had been removed. Trump and his warrior supporters by avoiding the truth and conducting with cruelty their domestic and foreign agendas may give the appearance of strength to them but lies and falsehoods are poor platforms on which to build a successful policy.

U.S. and Israeli leaders call Iran a terrorist state when it is Israel that has been bombing its neighbours and began shelling Iran on the false excuse that Iran aimed to become nuclear-armed. For decades an astute observer has known that Israel and the United States are the notorious terrorists threatening the rest of the world and must wonder why many nations support Israel in its genocide of Gaza, so indifferent to inhuman atrocities, repeating the worst slaughters in the Old Testament. How could anyone bear to be in the same room as the smarmy deceptive Netanyahu or shake the hand of the duplicitous Trump?

Mohammed Almoghayer in his On the Pleasures of Living in Gaza; Remembering a Way of Life Now Destroyed writes: “The region's rich cultural heritage, spanning centuries, finds expression in music, dance, theatre, film, fashion, sport, gastronomy, and poetry. Influenced by its vaunted place as an ancient trade route, Gaza has a distinct character, archaeological treasures, and a cuisine that includes delectable seafood dishes and some of the best strawberries in the world. Gaza's Mediterranean beaches, with golden sands and cerulean waves, show the coastal strip as it once was and still could be—a seaside paradise. . . . There is beauty, too, in Gaza's streets. Neighbours prop each other up, joining hands in celebrating holidays, weddings, and other extraordinary moments. If you find yourself short on cash, you are forgiven by a taxi driver. If you lose your cellphone, a brigade of searchers emerges within moments, combing each nook and cranny until it's found. In Gaza, friendship blooms in minutes, not months. Before you know it, you've been invited into a new friend's home and offered a feast fit for kings.” Compare that scene to the savagery of its invaders today whose propaganda exhorts its own holiness. One wonders why the rest of the world has allowed Israel to terrorize the Palestinians for decades and destroy a world of beauty and sensitivity.

The small ruling elite, which through deceit, wars, and political manipulation, has garnered great wealth with the object of controlling the world’s peoples under one world government. The early use of usury, forbidden by the scriptures, but encouraged by the Talmud, gave the Jews the opportunity to create banking monopolies which gave them the power to put the leaders of nations in their debt and thus dictate their governing. Jewish war profiteering in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries reached a point that no war was waged in Germany without Jewish financing. The bankers rule through debt. The money currently in circulation in the world was originally created from nothing by the banking system which receives interest on all the debt money loans it issues. All the monies lent by the banks did not exist before each loan was signed in contract—the banks never held that money in deposit in the form of money or gold or in any form — it was printed into existence on a computer screen. This power to create money from nothing and lend it at interest to the governments and people of the world gives the privately owned banking system immense 'un-earned' power. A bank agrees to make a loan to a customer at interest and thus money is created as a debt owed by the customer to the bank. The debt-money system is the driving force behind the economy. The risk of collapse forces governments to give priority to strategies that serve the money growth imperative; and in turn, these strategies produce the unjust and unsustainable form of globalization that we have today… This system makes a small number of people at the upper echelons of the system extremely wealthy and makes debt slaves of the countless millions or even billions of individuals that take out the loans. Governments hardly ever mention that this method of allowing private banks ownership of the money creation process is unnecessary and contrary to the interests of the taxpayer and the public. Governments could manufacture the money and thus avoid paying interest to the bankers. Abraham Lincoln created the greenback to be issued by the government. He remarked: “The monopoly of money, or the restriction of its circulation, is merely a variation of this simple form of monopoly. That is all. The stupid fall into the trap. Wars are provoked in succession, deliberately, by the great usurers, in order to create debts, to create scarcity, so that they can extort the interest on these debts, so that they can raise the price of money (i.e., the price of the various monetary units controlled by, or in the possession of, the same usurocrats), altering the prices of the various monetary units when it suits them, raising and lowering the prices of the various foodstuffs when it suits them, completely indifferent to the human victim, to the accumulated treasures of civilization, to the cultural heritage.” Lincoln was assassinated after he made the statement given above.  The greenbacks were not issued.

The Federal Reserve Bank was set up by bankers J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Paul Warburg when President Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 which was so obscurely worded that the Congress, preoccupied by departing for the Christmas holidays, did not understand it. Wilson said before he died,”I have unwittingly ruined my country.”

The Federal Reserve Act let powerful bankers usurp the money creation authority in violation of the Constitution's Article I, Section 8, giving only Congress the power to coin Money (and) regulate the Value thereof”. Thereafter, powerful bankers used their control over money, credit and debt for private self-enrichment, bankrolling and colluding with Congress and administrations to implement laws favouring them. As a result, decades of deregulation, outsourcing, economic financialization, and casino capitalism followed, producing asset bubbles, record budget and national debt levels, and depression-sized unemployment far higher than reported numbers, albeit manipulated to look better.  After the financial crisis erupted in late 2007, even harder times have left Main Street in the early stages of a depression, with recovery pure illusion. Today's (debt) contagion has spread out of control, globally. Wall Street got trillions of (taxpayers) dollars in a desperate attempt to socialize losses, privatize profits, and pump life back into the corpses by blowing public wealth into a moribund financial sector, failing corporate favourites, and America's aristocracy. While Wall Street boasts it has recovered, industrial America keeps imploding. High-paying jobs are exported. Economic prospects are eroding. Austerity is being imposed, with no one sure how to revive stable, sustainable long-term growth,” wrote  Stephen Lendman, author of How Wall St Fleeces America.

When the government borrows one billion dollars, it turns over to the bankers an interest-bearing, tax-free government bond and receives that amount in credit. As our banking laws require only a 20 percent reserve, the bankers can create an additional $4 billion in credit and lend it at interest to states, municipalities, businesses, and individuals. All this created “debt money" is LENT into circulation and draws interest until it is paid back to the money changers who got it in the first place for the cost of printing. Every dollar in currency is a dollar of DEBT, and its owner pays interest on it. One billion dollars at 7% pays the bankers $70 million each year and removes that much from circulation. Multiply this by the billions of debt in this country, and you can see the enormity of the crime that is being committed against the nation every year.

Those with a higher degree of perceptive may have noticed that the entire world has been kept in a permanent media-induced state of imbalance. Overwhelmed by crises after crises— from climate change to Covid-19 to orchestrated war and price inflation—the masses have been attacked by media mind-bombs of low-and-high intensity terror and de-stabilization. That’s all part of the plan of the globalist totalitarian machine. Whilst the masses are kept off-balance the machine continues to introduce more restrictions in the name of climate change or some other concocted 'future shock'. Such ongoing unbalancing, disruptive societal agendas are delivered via the propaganda of the banker-owned corporate media, backed and implemented by banker-controlled governments, and entirely funded by world bankers. For example, the Bank for International Settlements created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), which represents $118 trillion of assets globally. The history of social engineering can be traced back to hundreds of institutes formed and funded by the Rockefeller banking-dynasty during and after WWII. These include the following: The Tavistock Institute, The Institute for Social Research (ISR) known as the Frankfurt School, Cornel ILR, the Department of Social Relations in Germany, the International Jewish Research Foundation on Human Relations in Israel, and many more.

The influence of the Tavistock Institute ((“psychological warfare arm of the British Royal family, located in a suburb of London— the world’s most important institution for manipulation of population”) was worldwide. In the US, this influence extended to the American Medical Association, to all branches of the US government, including the military, the CIA, and was used to plant Rockefeller-Tavistock proteges and representatives in key positions and institutions throughout the entire structure of the US political and economic hierarchy. This included in TV, radio, and newspaper corporations, the largest law firms, the largest universities, and think-tanks. The story of Tavistock is central to how the US government intelligence agencies used psychology and mass social engineering to further certain post-war interests and agendas of globalist elites, at the expense of traditional European and American traditional culture and values. Lord Bertrand Russell in his 1951 book The Impact of Science on Society, described how the subject of mass psychology will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship for controlling the populace—a dictatorship, in which, the populace will not be allowed to know how its convictions were generated.

Many historical books and online sources, describe that the banking families, private mega-banks and financial institutions are Jewish, Jewish-owned, or Jewish-founded. These families include the Rothschilds; the Warburg's; the Goldman Sachs; the Oppenheim family bank (Sal. Oppenheim became a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank in 2009); and well-known traditional Jewish investment banking houses, such as Lehman Brothers, Lazard Freres, Salomon Brothers, Bache & Co., and Cantor/Fitzgerald.

"The Four Horsemen of Banking (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo) own the Four Horsemen of Oil (Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch/Shell, BP and Chevron Texaco); in tandem with Deutsche Bank, BNP, Barclays and other European old money behemoths. But their monopoly over the global economy does not end at the edge of the oil patch. According to company 10K filings to the SEC, the Four Horsemen of Banking are among the top ten stock holders of virtually every Fortune 500 corporation. One important repository for the wealth of the global oligarchy that owns these bank holding companies is US Trust Corporation—founded in 1853 and now owned by Bank of America. A recent US Trust Corporate Director and Honorary Trustee was Walter Rothschild. Other directors included Daniel Davison of JP Morgan Chase, Richard Tucker of Exxon Mobil, Daniel Roberts of Citigroup and Marshal Schwartz of Morgan Stanley.

In summary, one large self-reinforcing super-entity has a controlling influence over the world economy and tens of thousands of the largest corporations of the world. This super-entity operates under the seemingly different tentacles of around 147 mega-corporations, but these mega-corporations are mostly owned by a very small number of mega-financial institutions/ privately-owned mega-banks. These mega-financial institutions/mega-banks are owned and controlled by private banking families. This is why les than 0.001 % of the world's population, i.e., a small number of banking family elites and their networks, own the majority of the world's assets and wealth. Privately-owned commercial mega-banks own the FED, Blackrock and the other major asset management companies that own most of the world. The dominant players are the Jewish banking families such as the Rothschild banking dynasty; the Morgan's; the Schiff's; the Rockefeller world business; and the Warburg's, etc. As we have seen these dynasties achieved this not by adding more value, but by usurping control of the source of the money creation process, the Federal Reserve, and the worldwide central banking system. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Switzerland is the central bank of central banks and is immune to the laws of all national governments. There are 58 global central banks belonging to the BIS, and it has far more power over the economies of the world economy than any politician does. “The central bankers of the world gather for meetings at BIS and make decisions that affect every person in the world, and yet none of us have any say in what goes on,” according to Author Michael Snyder:

"The Bank for International Settlements is an organization that was founded by the global elite and it operates for the benefit of the global elite, and it is intended to be one of the key cornerstones of the emerging one world economic system. (The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements.)

Most of this information I have taken from Demonic Economics and the Tricks of the Bankers by Mark-Gerard Keenan. He warns us, however, that the global power games have been exposed. “The wealthy few that have dominated the economic power structure of the past decades no longer actually have any basis for power at all, as the flawed unsustainable economic and monetary system upon which their operations were based is breaking down—as it inevitably had to. Vast amounts of people that were working within the worldwide economic system may be left without any sustainable form of income or self-sufficiency, and they certainly would not continue to be in a position—as per current levels who can—to pay debts plus interest to the banking system.  When this deeper reality becomes widely apparent, the perceived authority of unelected international institutions will quickly vanish. Without citizen consent to their authority of the status quo the current so-called 'authorities' have nothing. Without citizen consent to the undemocratic new rules they have nothing. . .We have been lied to. The entire political structure today is saturated in corporate propaganda.”

Is the unstable, chaotic government run by Donald Trump in accord with its direction by the deep state or an uncontrollable appendix that tries to carry out its prescribed agenda in a dangerous world no longer compatible with the wishes of the ruling Jewish class? Our next blog will examine this conundrum. 

 Trumpdom No. 5. Misleading Propaganda

Professor Butz began his research into the holocaust after reading John Beaty’s The Iron Curtain Over America (1951), which traces the dispersion of the Khazars, mixture of Mongol and Turk, from their kingdom in lands between the Don and Volga rivers in the first millennium of the Christian era to their dispersion throughout the West and their domination of the United States in the present day.

They adopted the strict Babylonian Talmud rather than the Jerusalem or Palestine Talmud and imported rabbis conforming to it for the thousands of synagogues built by the Khazar khanate who had complete control of the political, social and religious thought of their people. The Slavs were in constant warfare with them and by 1016 AD took most of their land. Their differences were not racial but ideological. The Judaized Khazars stubbornly scorned Russian civilization. Their intransigent rabbis knew that their power would be lost if their people accepted controls other than the Talmud. By the 19th century they became political Zionists and made the invasion of Palestine their goal after the land’s Five Trillion dollar chemical and mineral wealth of the Dead Sea was discovered. They murdered the Palestinians and took their lands. Their aggressiveness was also turned upon Jews who refused to be Zionists. Beaty wrote: “By sheer weight of numbers, as well as by aggressiveness, the newcomer Jews from Eastern Europe pushed into the background the more or less Westernized Jews, who had migrated to America prior to 1800 and had become popular and successful merchants with no inordinate interest in politics. In striking contrast, the Eastern European Jew made himself ‘a power’ to be reckoned with in the professions, the industries, and the political parties.” Beaty, who had a major role in western intelligence, presents in detail the problems of an ideology alien to American traditions and how western politicians were wooed and misled by Zionists. “Our choice of General Eisenhower as Commander-in-Chief in Europe was most unfortunate. . . to the Germans he remains as the Commander who directed the destruction of their cities with civilian casualties running as high as a claimed 40,000 in a single night, and directed the U.S. retreat from the outskirts of Berlin,” an affront to our victorious soldiers and a tragedy for Germany, because of the millions of additional people it placed under the Soviet yoke. Franklyn Roosevelt by favouring Stalin over the wiser Churchill condemned millions of Europeans to death in gulags and mass executions following the advice of his Jewish advisers. The U.S. took advantage of impoverished Europe by using its wealth to influence its politicians and industries in harsh and aggressive ways. The Khanate Jews (or Ashkenazi), according to Beaty, are set on the destruction of Christianity and its culture. Today the vengeful, cruel practices of American society, exemplified by President Trump, has caused sensitive Americans to flee the country. Trump calls America ruined by former presidents that only he can fix, which appears to be by bullying and castigating anyone, any nation which does not praise him. Heather Mallick, the Toronto Star columnist, commenting on the mocking by a Republican Congressman of the assassination of a Democratic politician and her husband by a Trump supporter wrote: “The U.S. is a nation with violence in its bloodstream. It would require more words than I have here to begin to explain its taste for violent death, for passion over reason, but it was bred early.” The support that the U.S. gives Israel, a nation where passion over reason is endemic, in its genocide of Palestinians brings it and the nations it influences to a very dark place—or, as I wrote in a previous blog, to Jane Jacob’s dark age ahead, a culture’s dead end. The controlled media, owned mostly by Jews, is responsible for this absence of reason. 

Presidents, however, play “the ceremonial role of public relations’ representatives of the deep state, pontificating and sermonizing like priests to gullible audiences at home and abroad on the virtues of supposed American democracy, rule of law and civil liberties.” They can decide on withdrawing troops from theatres of war when the military brass ”is courteous enough to bow to sane advice in order to maintain the charade of democracy.” Although elected through a heavily manipulated electoral process with disproportionate influence of corporate interests, political lobbyists and billionaire donors, they are figureheads legitimizing the militarist stranglehold of the deep state over domestic and national security policies and the neocolonial world order “dictated by the self-styled global hegemony.” The propaganda that brainwashes the population to believe the lies and deceptions of its leaders is essential to maintain the supremacy of financial interests and delusion of 95% of the citizenry that they are being served fairly by those they elected.

Professor Arjun Appadurai, by analyzing Trump’s bid for absolute power, unconsciously unveils the plans of the anonymous men controlling him and encouraging his showmanship: “Much of this assault can be explained by Trump’s poor education, contempt for liberals, megalomania, personal greed and his unselfconscious vulgarity and lack of any discernible moral compass. But the assaults run deeper than that. Trump wants to produce a new social order as far as possible from the liberal democratic order as he can envision.. . .Trump’s twisted genius has enabled the reorganization of the core engineering of American liberal society, to turn its greatest protections against illiberal forces into the biggest weapons of illiberalism. His full-scale demolition of the American social order is based on a remarkable repurposing of the powers of the legislature, of the pesky independence of the courts and of the vaunted guardrails promised by the mass media to seduce many Americans into giving their consent to illiberalism.” Biden and Trump’s support for Israel’s mass murder of Gazans is a case exhibiting their own initiative, being life-long Zionists beholden to rich Ashkenazis who funded their political careers and knowing their mentors would approve.

Mainstream media, especially Rudolph Murdoch’s TV station Fox News, fanatic supporters of Israel, gives Trump prominence and rarely corrects his constant lying. Citizens, aware that the media lies at the government’s request, citing national security, now listen to TV newscasts for entertainment and the latest catastrophes. They find news they believe on the internet, which can also be misleading. A reporter commented ruefully on the state of the nation: “I have been thinking about a famous proverb – “acta, non verba” (action, not words). Like most platitudes and effective propaganda, it contains both truths and contradictions and can therefore be spun in multiple ways depending on one’s intent. Killing people is an action that needs no words to accompany it. It can be done silently. Even when it is the killing of millions of people, it can be carried out without fanfare or direct responsibility. Without a whisper, with plausible deniability, as if it were not happening. As if you were not responsible. The playwright Harold Pinter, in his Nobel Prize Address, wrote truthfully about U. S. war crimes: “It never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening it wasn’t happening. It didn’t matter. It was of no interest. The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis. I put to you that the United States is without doubt the greatest show on the road. Brutal, indifferent, scornful and ruthless it may be but it is also very clever. As a salesman it is out on its own and its most saleable commodity is self-love. It’s a winner. Listen to all American presidents on television say the words, ‘the American people’, as in the sentence, ‘I say to the American people it is time to pray and to defend the rights of the American people and I ask the American people to trust their president in the action he is about to take on behalf of the American people.’

“Trust, of course, is a sick joke when it comes from the mouths of U.S. presidents . . . The relationship between words and actions is very complex.,  Even Shakespeare compounds the complexity by having  a character say that words are not deeds. But they are. Neither Biden nor Trump ever personally killed a Syrian or Palestinian, but they gave orders to do so. They made sure as young men that they would never serve in the military and kill with their own hands, having received between them nearly ten deferments. What’s the term for such Commanders-in-Chief?” Researcher Edward Curtin asks.”Pusillanimous armchair warriors? Jackals with polished faces who know ten thousand ways to order others to kill and torture while keeping their hands clean but their souls sordid? But notice the expensive suits these boys wear, the crisp white shirts and pocket handkerchiefs, the elegant watches and shiny shoes. But they are killers whose orders to kill are whispered, action words, passed down the line. With a smile, a grin, a shrug, or completely indifferently, as if they were ordering a bagel with cream cheese to go.”

It surprised me (DB) how the mainstream newspapers and periodicals in the western world blocked any word detrimental to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. The scholar Philip Giraldi enlightens us: “President Donald Trump has appointed Martin Marks to be his administration’s liaison to the American Jewish community with the title Special Assistant to the President and Director of Jewish Engagement in the White House Faith Office. Marks, whose mother handbag designer Lana Marks served as US ambassador to South Africa in Trump’s first term, appears to be well qualified for the position as ‘Before turning to politics, [he] was a writer and owned a yoga studio in Palm Beach.’ The US government already has an Office of the Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism and a Office of the Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues actively promoting the Jewish/Israeli line at the State Department and even worldwide. And one might observe Trump’s entire cabinet is unrelentingly Zionist in its inclinations while Congress is discussing the so-called Antisemitism Accountability Act which will turn any criticism of Israel into a crime even more so than it is regarded as such right now, ask any one of the college students who are being deported! How much “liaison” protecting the most wealthy and educated 3% of the population against the curse of perceived perpetual Jewish victimhood is still warranted? And how will such “liaison” differ from the orders delivered directly from Benjamin Netanyahu, the “Chosen” leader, of the Jewish state of Israel to provide Trump and the rest of the US government with their marching orders, just as was the case with Genocide Joe Biden and his merry band of largely Jewish/Zionist cabinet members?

The nomination of Yehuda Kaploun—a Chabad-Lubavitch rabbi, Trump loyalist, and confidant of Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson—as US Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism underscores an uncomfortable reality: Zionist interests wield disproportionate influence over American politics, even as the nation fractures under economic despair. Kaploun’s appointment, framed as a defense against antisemitism, instead reveals a political dynamic that prioritizes the interests of world Jewry over the needs of ordinary Americans. Consider the timing. Household debt has soared to $18.04 trillion, credit card delinquencies hit 14-year highs, and inflation continues to erode wages. Yet policymakers focus on policing campus activism, cracking down criticism of Israel, while ignoring the collapse of social mobility. Kaploun’s own rhetoric comparing US universities to “1930s Germany” diverts attention from the rising cost of living and the United States’ fraying social fabric. Meanwhile, pro-Israel groups like AIPAC have funnelled $100+ million into elections, ensuring bipartisan fealty to policies that prioritize Israeli interests at the expense of America. This is not governance. It’s an occupation by foreign interests. . . .38 states require citizens to sign documents or swear oaths pledging themselves not to support any boycotts of Israel if they wish to receive benefits or jobs. To suggest that Israel and American Jews are victims who must be protected at a time when they are actively engaged in genocide and complete ethnic cleansing of literally millions of Palestinians demonstrates the enslavement of the American population to propaganda of extreme evil.

In Crown Heights Brooklyn Israel’s Security Chief Itamar Ben-Gvir, who believes in killing all Palestinians if it becomes necessary to remove them, was in town being cheered on by a large crowd of Ultra Orthodox Jews. A local resident, a woman in her thirties, wondered what all of the noise was about and went out to take a look. She was set upon by a crowd of roughly one hundred, which screamed that she was a “Palestinian demonstrator,” which was not true. She feared for her life as she was chased, kicked, spit at and pelted with objects by the mob of Orthodox Jewish men. “They were shouting at me, threatening to rape me, chanting death to Arabs. I thought the police would protect me from the mob, but they did nothing to intervene.” As the chants grew in intensity, a police officer sought to escort her towards her apartment. They were followed by hundreds of men and boys jeering in Hebrew and English. Video shows two of the men kicking her in the back, another hurling a traffic cone into her head and a fourth pushing a trash can into her. “I felt sheer terror. I realized at that point that I couldn’t lead this mob of men to my home. I had nowhere to go. I didn’t know what to do. I was just terrified.” The officer moved her into a police vehicle which prompted one assailant to yell, “Get her!” but the crowd cheered as she was driven away. The many police officers in the immediate area to protect all the rioting Jews from attacks by antisemites, did not intervene to save her. The episode was filmed by bystanders, but the Jews who had beaten her did not face consequences. “As is always the case,” the concerned reporter wrote, “when it is Jews/Israelis who are committing crimes there is the presumption of antisemitism at play and nothing happens. The universities and local police are quick to detain those normally peaceful demonstrators regarded as pro-Palestinians but when those individuals are in turn physically attacked by Jewish organized groups, the Jews are not subjected to the same standard of law enforcement. The US “justice system” is focused on serving Israel at the expense of the US Constitution’s protection of free speech and free association. “This ‘Jewish Exemption’,” he added, “at all levels of US and local government becomes obvious when government and media cannot mention Israeli atrocities such as the illegal nuclear arsenal obtained through theft and deception from the United States. American laws if they impact on Israel, like the Leahy Law which forbids military assistance to any country that violates human rights “with impunity”, cannot be enforced for fear that the powerful Israel Lobby will retaliate.”

Surely Americans must see that the decades of Israeli brutality against Palestinians is beginning to take shape in the United States under Trump while the drumbeat of propaganda continues to sound sympathy for the Jews for suffering under “the holocaust”. 

The American writer Victor Thorn thoroughly demolishes the story of the holocaust in The Holocaust Hoax Exposed, (2nd ed, 2019) and devotes a brief chapter to the myth of Anne Frank’s Diary which has had a major role in eliciting sympathy for the German treatment of Jews during World War II. It was added to the holocaust propaganda though it did not mention mass killing in gas ovens. Scores of books examining many facets of her imprisonment such as Anne Frank’s Seven Last Days enhanced her tale and distributed world-wide reached the impressionable youth. Anne and her family were sent to Auschwitz. Her mother died there from starvation. Her father Otto survived. After two months Anne and her sister Margot were moved to Belsen where after five months they died of typhus. Thorn writes: “Seven years after this book’s publication, the New York Supreme Court ruled it was a hoax. . . Then, in 1959 a Swedish  journal called Frida Ord revealed that Anne Frank’s father contacted a Jewish novelist named Meyer Levin to craft much of the dialogue found in this supposed diary. To cash in on the royalties resulting from this bestseller, Levin sued Anne Frank’s father and emerged with a $50,000 judgment. . . Most glaring of all is the fact that segments of this ‘diary’ were written in ballpoint pen—not to mention the use of two completely different styles of handwriting—one of Levin and the other of Anne Frank’s father. Worse, ball point pens weren’t even available on the market until after WWII ended, thus making it impossible for Anne Frank to have written her original draft using such an implement.”

I have ordered a recent publication, Unmasking Anne Frank: Her Famous Diary Exposed as a Literary Fraud by Suzuki, Ikuo, not because I enjoy the exposing of fraud but because I am interested in the methods of propaganda and its uses by unscrupulous people.

“Power, Priorities, and Puppeteers: Who Really Governs America?” comprises my next blog.

Trumpdom No. 4 Reflections on the holocaust

Norman Finkelstein writes of his The Holocaust Industry; Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering: “This book is both an anatomy and an indictment of the Holocaust industry. In the pages that follow, I will argue that the Holocaust is an ideological representation of the Nazi holocaust. Like most ideologies, it bears a connection, if tenuous, with reality. The Holocaust is not an arbitrary but rather an internally coherent construct. Its central dogmas sustain significant political and class interests. Indeed, the Holocaust has proven to be an indispensable ideological weapon. Through its deployment, one of the world's most formidable military powers, with a horrendous human rights record, has cast itself as a ‘victim’ state, and the most successful ethnic group In the United States has likewise acquired victim status. Considerable dividends accrue from this specious victimhood—in particular, immunity to criticism, however justified. Those enjoying this immunity, I might add, have not escaped the moral corruptions that attend it.”

Finkelstein demonstrates how American Jews used the holocaust as a political weapon. When anti-Semitic barriers fell away after World War II, Jewish income almost doubled that of non-Jews. They became conservative politically, shed their allies in social activities, steered their resources to benefit Jewish concerns only and blamed “irrational Gentile loathing of Jews” when it was the Jews who were taught to hate Christians. “Just as Israelis, armed to the teeth by the United States, courageously put unruly Palestinians in their place, so American Jews outrageously put unruly Blacks in their place,” he wrote. “Lording it over those least able to defend themselves: that is the real content of organized American Jewery’s reclaimed courage.” In a chapter entitled  “Hoaxers, Hucksters, and History” Finkelstein exposes Elie Wiesel, Jerzy Kosinski, Binjamin Wilkomirski’s memoirs and other fraudsters while denouncing Jewish refusal to refuse to recognize the Gypsy genocide in the Holocaust Museum for fear it make untenable the Museum’s dogma of a “millennial Gentile hatred of Jews”. Finkelstein then demonstrates how Jewish organizations used the Holocaust for shaking down Swiss and German governments for billions in reparations aided by United States’ pressure.

As for Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, it is a well-researched, powerful debunking of the Holocaust. “As stated, the ‘material’ approach will be extended here and, in addition, a ‘historical-political’ approach will be ‘introduced’,” he wrote. “This is just a fancy way of saying that we will grasp that there are two political powers involved in the problem, not just one. That is to say, we have a tale of extermination, and we should inquire into the circumstance of its generation. . . Germany had an anti-Jewish policy involving, in many cases, deportations of Jews from their homes and countries of citizenship. That is certain. The wartime policy of Washington was to claim extermination, and the post-war policy was to hold trials, at which there was generated the only evidence that we have today that these wartime claims had any foundation. That is also certain. The policies of both states are necessarily of interest, and if there is any respect in which this book may be breaking fundamentally new ground on the problem, it is in its insistence in seeing Washington as an active agent in the generation of the story. Thus, we are interested not only in what Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Goebbels, and Heydrich were doing during the war in regard to these matters, but also what Roosevelt, Hull, Morgenthau, and the New York Times and associated media were doing during the war, and what the various tribunals controlled or dominated by Washington did after the war. This is not only a fair but, more importantly, an illuminating historical approach.

“The conclusion is that Washington constructed a frame-up on the Jewish extermination charge. Once this is recognized, the true nature of German Jewish policy will be seen.”

Butz insists that without the evidence generated at the IMT (International Military Tribunal) and NMT (Nuremberg Military Tribunal) and lesser trials at Dachau camp (close to Nuremberg) and of staff at some concentration camps (Buchenwald, Flossenbuerg, Dachau) and the Malmedy case of the killing of American prisoners, there would be no significant evidence that the program of killing Jews ever existed at all. Supervised by the War Crimes Branch these trials were the “most shameful episodes in U.S. history,” he wrote. “The entire repertoire of third degree methods was enacted at Dachau: beatings and brutal kicking, to the point of ruining testicles in 137 cases, knocking out teeth, starvation, solitary confinement, torture with burning splinters, and impersonation of priests in order to encourage prisoners to “confess.” Low rank prisoners were assured that convictions were being sought only against higher ranking officers and that they had absolutely nothing to lose by cooperating and making the desired statements. Such “evidence” was then used against them when they joined their superiors in the dock. The latter, on the other hand, had been told that by “confessing” they had taken all responsibility onto themselves, thereby shielding their men from trial. A favourite stratagem, when a prisoner refused to cooperate, was to arrange a mock trial. The prisoner was led into a room in which civilian investigators, dressed in U.S. Army uniforms, were seated around a black table with a crucifix in the centre, with two candles providing the only light. This “court” then proceeded to hold a sham trial, at the conclusion of which a sham death sentence was passed. The “condemned” prisoner was later promised that, if he cooperated with the prosecutors in giving evidence, he would be reprieved. Sometimes interrogators threatened to turn prisoners over to the Russians. In many cases the prisoner’s family was threatened with loss of ration cards or other hardships if cooperation was not obtained.”

These and other methods of torture by American agents are familiar to those who have read of Guantanamo prison and other dark cells run by the CIA throughout Europe in the present day. Many of the judges at Nuremberg were Jewish and their judgments of the death sentences were seen as revengeful.

During the life of the Nazi Regime, Jews were encouraged to leave Germany. When Germany was at war with Russia the greater part of Jews in Europe were in the German sphere of influence and resettled in the East. Though the program was only partially carried out, “nowhere near six million Jews were involved.” Excluding Polish and Romanian Jews, perhaps 750,000 were settled in Ukraine, White Russia and Latvia. Several hundred thousand Jews were deported from Poland by the Russians and dispersed in the Soviet Union. For the most part, the Polish Jews who came into German hands were crowded into ghettoes in Eastern Poland. The remainder of the Jews who had been uprooted resettled in Palestine, the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere.

A typhus epidemic plagued the German concentration camps from the start of the war and its sweep of death at the end of the war was owing to the total collapse of measures to kill the lice spreading it, mainly due to constant rail traffic with the East. The “human” extermination camps were supposed to be in occupied Poland, not Germany, that is Auschwitz, Belsec, Kulmhop (Chemo), Lublin (Majdanek), Solider and Treblinka, locations abandoned before being captured by the Russians, not at camps which were still functioning, however disastrously, when captured by Western troops. Auschwitz is the key to the story as little documentary evidence is offered for the others.

The typical inmate of a German concentration camp was a person being detained for punitive or security reasons. There were five major categories, and they were distinguished by coloured insignia, which were associated with their uniform: Green for Criminals; Red for political prisoners (mainly communists); Pink for homosexuals; Black for Asocials (vagrants, drunkards, etc.); Purple for those considered disloyal on account of religious views (mainly Jehovah’s Witnesses). For labour the Germans used them all and Russian POWs (excusable because Russia did not respect the Conventions of War). The number of inmates in the entire German concentration camp system was about 224,000 in August 1943 and 524,000 a year later. These figures include only camps referred to by the Germans as concentration camps and do not include any transit camps or camps referred to in other terms, such as the Theresienstadt ghetto or any other establishments intended for quartering families. A fraction interned for security and punitive reasons were Jews and separated from Aryan inmates; Jews, under special legislation, were selected to labour in the camps; Jewish families were sent to transit camps, temporary quartering pending transportation to another destination, mostly ghettoes.

Butz examines the special work for the war effort done in the major camps and the types of prisoners doing the work. Auschwitz was interesting for its large area and several industries of strategic importance, especially as the site of the most advanced developments in synthetic rubber. Typhus was rife there. Germans cremated the dead, mainly in pits, and later in crematories. The claims of exterminations of Jews have their origin not in Allied intelligence information but in the operations of the World Jewish Congress, whose leaders were at first either unconcerned with, or uninformed about, the facts pertaining to Auschwitz. In this connection one must reject two possible fallacious expectations. The first is that Allied propaganda would strive to maximize Auschwitz propaganda after it was realized that the propaganda possibilities were excellent. The second is that the claims made in the Allied propaganda relative to Auschwitz would be almost completely devoid of real fact.

Butz examines how the propaganda was developed from a rumour attributed to an anonymous German industrialist that a decision was made to kill all non-Soviet Jews. It was forwarded to Washington. Zionists, principally the World Jewish Congress, demanded endorsement of the six million figure and Washington was eventually made to comply. Butz writes: “The inconsistencies and implausibilities and obvious lies will appear and finally the crushing blow, a fact contradicting the claims, so huge in significance that there can be no mumbling about ‘mysteries.’” His findings are thorough and undeniable, but for their acceptance by the world at large his work must be read and denunciations of it unmasked. His work inspired many writers to attack the hoax from other aspects which has resulted in a large revisionist literature.

Victor Thorn’s short book, The Holocaust Hoax Exposed; Debunking the 20th Century’s Biggest Lie is worth reading for its conciseness and straight reasoning—for example, “Further, Auschwitz’s original design plans still exist, and none of them depict what could be called ‘gas chambers’. Moreover these plans—again original and unaltered— did not contain provisions for exhaust units to dispense of any supposed poisonous gasses. Lastly no crematoria smokestacks ever existed in the design plans or construction at Auschwitz. There weren’t any whatsoever. All these ‘show pieces’ were added later for the benefit of museum visitors.

“Then there’s the matter of sheer numbers. Historians claim that anywhere upwards of 600—800 Jews were simultaneously crammed into the Krema 1 gas chamber [originally an air raid shelter]. However, with a mere floor space of 844 square feet, at the very most 100 people could fit into this area. Considering the obvious struggle under such perilous circumstances quite possibly only 40—50 people could be corralled at a time before bedlam resulted. At any rate, the next matter at hand is the subject of cremation. Morticians agree that it requires approximately 60-70 minutes using up-to-date technology to adequately cremate a human body. Now, if we buy the version of events provided by holocaust historians—namely, that ovens at Auschwitz were used for, at best, a total of 600 days—let's do some mathematics. If every supposed oven at Auschwitz ran non-stop except for maintenance and the removal of ashes, the total number of bodies that could have been cremated was 374,000. Now, how do we go from this figure to the four million total that stood for decades? A Canadian man named Ivan Lagace, who managed a crematory, revealed during the April 1988 Ernst Zündel trial that the Auschwitz cremation tale was "preposterous" and "beyond the realm of reality." He added that allegations regarding the incineration of 10,000-20,000 Jews every day was "technically impossible.” If all the supposed ovens at Auschwitz had worked non-stop with no downtime whatsoever, it would have taken until 1972 to incinerate four million bodies. On that note, if four million bodies had been cremated, it would result in 15,000 tons of ashes. In pounds, that equals 30 million pounds of ashes. There has never been one photograph showing these mountains of ash that would have been produced. In addition, imagine how many tons of coal would have been necessary to cremate four million Jews. It would require trains traveling around the clock to Auschwitz delivering the coal needed to cremate four million Jews. But there are no Allied reconnaissance photos in existence revealing huge supplies of coal (millions and millions of them) at Auschwitz. Nor do German records support any such massive deliveries to Auschwitz in regard to this much coal. Rather, the Nazis actually needed coal to fuel their war machine, not incinerate Jews. In all, two researchers—Carlo Mattogno and Franco Deana—estimated that at the very most, 162,000 bodies of the sick and elderly were cremated at Auschwitz after they died natural deaths.”

Butz and Thorn calculated after the fact. The Volunteer; the true story of the resistance hero who infiltrated Auschwitz by Jack Fairweather features Witold Pilecki who volunteered to be imprisoned in Auschwitz to report to the outside world what was happening there and to recruit prisoners willing to sabotage activities and cause an insurrection. His report and memoirs with the archived collection of 3,727 prisoner accounts brings us the horrors of everyday life in the camp. In 1940 Hitler began eliminating the Polish professional class by mass shootings. Other Poles they swept off the streets and sent them to a new camp outside Warsaw called Auschwitz. Arriving in cattle cars, the Polish prisoners were told that they would starve to death within six weeks. For the slightest error they were beaten to death. Disease was prevalent and death from pneumonia, typhus, blood-sucking lice, injections of phenol killed thousands. Poles of the professional class and intellectuals were beaten to death. Survivors were sent to a penal colony where they would soon die from overwork. The Jews and priests, a small minority, received extra-harsh treatment in a penal colony. This essay, however, concerns the deaths by gassing and cremation. The dead every day were cremated; 20 corpses could be cremated every 24 hours. Pretending to send the crippled and ill to a sanitarium, the camp commandant entrained them to a secretive medial centre outside Dresden where tens of thousands of German citizens, including children, deemed mentally-ill or disabled were gassed with carbon monoxide. Hundreds of Soviet Prisoners of war were trucked to Auschwitz, herded into a penal block, locked in cells where Zyklon B was dropped through holes in the flat roof to gas them. In January 1942 senior Nazis planned to deport Jews from the rest of Europe to the occupied East to be murdered immediately or worked to death in labour camps, called the Final Solution. By March 1942 of the 30,000 Poles registered in the camp, 11,132 were still alive; the figure included 2000 Polish Jews, most of whom were dead. Out of 12,000 Soviet POWs,100 survived. 1000 Jewish men each day began arriving from Slovakia and some from France. In early May a transport of 600 Jews, men, women and children, arrived in Auschwitz, told they were to be disinfected and were gassed from the roof. The bodies were trucked to near-by Birkenau and buried in the woods. 200,000 Jews were gassed in Birkenau. Later in May, 10,000 Jews were gassed in Auschwitz, which marked the start of the mass extermination of Jews, the first from near-by towns. The crematorium team could not keep up. The Nazis made Auschwitz part of a network of regional killing centres in Poland. By July it became the central hub for the killings. The Nazis were using houses in the woods especially remodelled for gassing. 3,500 people could be disposed of in two hours. Transports of Jewish families arrived every few days for gassing. Bodies had to be piled up by the walls of the crematoria. Pyres were used to burn corpses. More than 30,000 jews were deported to Auschwitz in August. That summer 35,000 Jews were gassed at Birkenau, 4000 Polish inmates died of typhus and 2000 from Nazi executions and phenol injections. There were three crematoria in Auschwitz for gassing Jews. It was now called a Jewish death camp.Trains brought Jews from Holland, Germany, France; two-thirds were gassed immediately and one-third admitted into the camp. A news report reached Churchill that 4000 unaccompanied Jewish children left Lyons for Germany and families were deported every day but he did not know they went to extermination in Auschwitz. One of Witold’s men in the camp escaped with reports of the murders but it took him months to reach London. Only in November 1942 did the West know that two million lives had been lost. In mid-August 1943, Polish resistance reported 35,000 Jews had been killed. Hundreds were dying everyday in the camps but the news was filled with the discovery of the Katyn massacres when 22,000 Polish military and police officers, border guards, and intelligentsia prisoners of war were executed by the NKVD (the Soviet secret police), at Joseph Stalin's orders. Witold escaped in 1943 and fought resisting the German destruction of Warsaw and its inhabitants while Stalin delayed taking the city. World War II deaths amounted to 70 to 85 million people globally, more than half were civilians. Millions died in genocides, including the holocaust and by massacres, starvation and disease. The advance of the Russians on Warsaw brought the end of murder in Auschwitz. 

My next blog, Trumpdom No.5, deals with the origins of the holocaust propaganda and its purposes.

Trumpdom No. 3. The source of Jewish hatred for the “other” and its consequence

In Trumpdom No.2 I closed on the issue of the individual torn between thinking in sync with his clan or as an individual unencumbered by racial, religious, and clan

obligations. Education in the humanities should bring freedom of thought to the

individual. Most philosophically educated people absorb the reasoning of philosophers who are not beholden to a religion in their thinking. Jewish authors who are knowledgable in the humanities as a means of seeking truth stand against the religious and political claims of “orthodox” and racially motivated Jews. Shlomo Sand, whose background and works are on the internet, exemplifies the free-thinker. One of his books is How I Stopped Being a Jew. The same is true of thinkers who have divorced themselves from Pakistan clans or Mormon strictures or Roman Catholic rules. How easy it is to fall in line with an established ideology and accept whatever belief it demands of its followers! How hard it is sometimes to escape from that ideology! Conan Doyle’s first story featuring Sherlock Holmes, “A Study in Scarlet”, dramatizes an escape from Mormonism when death awaits should one fail.

The most shocking news that I have heard in my long life is that 85% of Israelis want the survivors in Gaza to be eliminated. They support their government’s genocide of the Palestinian people. Some of them think the Arab Israelis living amongst them should be shot. That the rest of the world is standing idly by to let this happen, protestors and futile efforts of conscience-stricken rescuers notwithstanding, has to be seen as the end of humanity. Homo sapiens whose greed and stupidity has destroyed thousands upon thousands of their fellow creatures, forcing them into extinction through pollution of the atmosphere, poisoning of the waters, and mindless killing as a sport, have finally announced their own extinction. By consenting to the mass killing of a peaceful, beauty-inspiring people while they wring their hands hypocritically and piously regret the horror reined on them for three god-awful years, the world’s nations have announced their cowardice and indifference to the murder of the best of

themselves by the worst, the most evil core rising like lava out of hell to extinguish us all.

I mentioned in Trumpdom No 2 the dismay that the journalist Thomas Friedman

expressed when facing the savagery of the far right leaders of Israel. If he and many others shocked by the ruthlessness of the Zionist Israelis in continuing genocide against a defenceless and guiltless people would read Douglas Reed’s The Controversy of Zion, they would discover how the world has come to its present

delirium. Friedman as a journalist may know of Reed who was the most important

journalist during World War II and whose books were popular in many languages until he was censored into silence. The Controversy starts with the separation of the non-Jewish northern Kingdom of Israel from the southern kingdom of Judah in 937 BC. The people of larger Israel rejected the racial distinction of Judah as preached by the Levite priesthood, which demanded an order of existence fundamentally different from the peoples about them. The Levites worshipped the war god Jehovah who demanded absolute obedience from his followers and strict separation from others whom they considered inferior and barely human. Reed wrote: “The creed which was given force of daily law in Judah in 458 BC . . . rested on the assertion, attributed to the the tribal deity (Jehovah) that the “Israelites” (in fact the Judahites) were his ‘chosen people who, if they obeyed all his ‘statutes and judgements,’ would be set over all other peoples and be established in a ‘promised land.’ Out of this theory, whether by forethought or unforeseen necessity, grew the present theories of “captivity” and ‘destruction’.” All of Jehovah’s worshippers had to live where “he” specified, but obviously that being impossible, those living elsewhere were “captives” of the “stranger”, whom they had “to root out,” “pull down,” and “destroy.” “It made no difference whether the ‘captors’ were conquerors or friendly hosts, their ordained lot was to be destruction or enslavement.” Through the centuries Jewish leaders pursued

this policy. They demanded that Jews live in ghettoes, apart from Gentiles, and

condemned Jews who were assimilated in the Gentile world. The Levites lost control of thousands of Jews who spread out to many countries. The advent of the Khazars (later called Ashkenazis) from eastern Russia into western Europe brought back the strictness and revenge with all the might that these savage people, converts to Judaism, could devise from the Talmud and other laws. About 1500 their Talmudic government moved from Spain to Poland. Meanwhile the Sephardic Jews, largely from Spain, dwindled in numbers and disintegrated as a force. Spreading across Europe and North America, they detested these Slavic Jews but gradually became overwhelmed by the methods that these Jews used to seduce western politicians to promote their goals. The book will present the reader with many surprises through these chapters showing the promotion of Zionism at the expense of the western nations that the politicians were supposed to defend. Reed relates how the Jews instigated the revolutions in England, France and in particular Russia where the leaders were largely Khazar Jews. The wholesale slaughter of Russians by the Bolsheviks whose aim was to destroy Christianity and any semblance of Gentile culture proved the wiles of Judaism. The book closes in the late 1950s when the political leadership in the West and its media are controlled by the Zionists with fears of the worst to come. We, living in the world of President Trump, can attest to that.

Reed writes: “Dr. Kastein, Zionist historian, having affirmed that the Jewish government (the "centre", with its unbroken history of more than two thousand years) ‘ceased to exist’” after the dissection of Poland in 1772, records that a hundred years later "a Jewish international” was in being. He meant that the Jewish government of Jews had given way to a Jewish government of governments. This is the truth of our time.

Benjamin Disraeli, when Prime Minister of Great Britain, spoke of "a network" of

revolutionary organizations which covered the earth like a system of railroads; it is the perfect description of the destructive mechanism which was constructed. To achieve the greater purpose there had to be another network at the top, and although Disraeli did not use the word in that case, he alluded to it when he said, "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes". This is presumably "the Jewish international" of which Dr. Kastein spoke, a league of powerful and wealthy men at the top, “under whose authority kings and princes, first, and republican presidents and politicians, next, equally found themselves.”

“These two machines worked in synchronization, each promoting the aim of the other. In their dealings with the masses the Gentile rulers were forced by the threat of revolution from below to yield ever more authority, until they fell; in their dealings with foreign countries, and in the wars to which these led, they were constrained by the power of the purse to support the plan of the symbolic "return" to Palestine. The Gentile often asks why men of wealth should promote revolution. Disraeli put the same question, in order to give the answer: they wish to destroy Christianity. He knew precisely what he meant; to the Gentile the answer may be made more comprehensible by saying that they obey the Talmudic Law, which requires the destruction of heathen nation-states as the prelude to the triumphant “return”."

Reed remarks on the misrepresentations of reporting in World War II which will lead us to reflections on our principal subject, the holocaust. “In the case of "the Jewish

persecution" in Germany”, he wrote, “I found that impartial presentation of the facts gradually gave way to so partisan a depictment that the truth was lost. This

transformation was effected in three subtle stages. First the persecution of "political opponents and Jews” was reported; then this was imperceptibly amended to "Jews and political opponents"; and at the end the press in general spoke only of "the persecution of Jews". By this means a false image was projected on to the public mind. 

The plight of the overwhelming majority of the victims, by this fixing of the spotlight on one group, was lost to sight. The result showed in 1945, when, on the one hand, the persecution of Jews was made the subject of a formal indictment at

Nuremberg, and on the other hand half of Europe and all the people in it were

abandoned to the selfsame persecution, in which the Jews had shared, in their small proportion to populations everywhere.

“At that period, I, typical of Englishmen of my generation, had never thought of Jews as different from myself, nor could I have said what might make a Jew, in his opinion, different from me. If I later became aware of any differentiation, or of the desire of a powerful group to assert one, this was not the result of Hitler's deeds but of the new impediment to impartial reporting which I then began to observe. When the general persecution began I reported it as I saw it. If I learned of a concentration camp containing a thousand captives I reported this; if I learned that the thousand included thirty or fifty Jews I reported that. I saw the first terror, spoke with many of the victims, examined their injuries, and was warned that I incurred Gestapo hostility thereby. The victims were in the great majority, certainly much over ninety percent, Germans, and a few were Jews. This reflected the population-ratio, in Germany and later in the countries overrun by Hitler. But the manner of reporting in the world's press in time blocked-out the great suffering mass, leaving only the case of the Jews.”

Reed noted that the referencing by a rabbi in 1949 of the burning of Jewish books,

which ”began the reign of terror in 1933”, actually comprised “a mass of Marxist

books, including the works of many German, English and non-Jewish authors and

included some Jewish books, which Reed, witnessing the burning, reported in The

Times at the time. The “brunt” of the terror was not borne by Jews nor were the

concentration camps “filled with Jews”. The number of Jewish victims was in

proportion to their ratio of the population. Nevertheless this false picture, by iteration, came to dominate the public mind during the Second World War.

During the Nuremberg Trials, Reed wrote, “By the choice of the Jewish Day of

Judgment for the hanging of the Nazi leaders and German commanders, the Western leaders gave the conclusion of the Second War this aspect of a vengeance exacted specifically in the name of ‘the Jews’. The shape which the trial took showed the purpose of the immense propaganda of falsification conducted during the war, which have earlier described. ‘Crimes against Jews’ were singled out as a separate count, as if Jews were different from other human beings (and when the judgment was delivered, a hundred million human beings in Eastern Europe had been handed over to the general persecution of all men, from which Jews in their proportion suffered in Germany). This particular indictment was made ‘the crux of the case’ against the defendants and was based on the assertion that "six million Jews" had been killed (as time went by the word “perished" was substituted for "killed"). An impartial court would at the outset have thrown out any suit based on this completely unverifiable assertion: at Nuremberg, lawyers, who in a private case would have demanded acquittal on the strength of an unproven statement in respect of a decimal point or digit, used this fantastic figure as the basis of their demand for conviction. “The statement about the ‘six million Jews, allowed to pass without question by the men on the bench, was the end-product of this process. In six years of war the Germans, Japanese and Italians, using every lethal means, killed 824,928 British, British Commonwealth and American fighting-men, merchant sailors and civilians. Assuming that the Germans killed, say, half of these in Europe, they killed (according to this assertion) fifteen times as many Jews there. To do that, they would have needed such quantities of men, weapons, transports, guards and materials as would have enabled them to win the war many times over.”

The claims made by Jewish writers such as Elie Wiesel about the Holocaust have been criticized for misrepresentations or propaganda. The numerous writings describing its horrors have made it into the major event of World War II. Those who contradict claims in this literature or raise doubts about the cause in itself are sued in courts and persecuted by Jewish organizations, as if debating the subject was a crime.

We shall discuss in our next blog some of the literature questioning its truth and

importance, leading with Norman Finkelstein’s The Holocaust Industry; Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering.
