I
was very pleased by the response to last week’s broadcast. I’ve always thought
that most people are more interested in specific, anecdotal, and personal
commentary than in more general and impersonal commentary, and that’s why I so
often talk about very specific instances of Black crime, or liberal hypocrisy
and nuttiness, or political corruption and treason, with names, dates, and
places. But I am pleased to note that we do have many listeners who really care
about the general principles underlying all of the specifics.
Today
I’ll begin in a general way, but then we’ll move on to specific evidence to
support the general theses. We’ll start with the general role of the Jews in
European or White or Aryan or Gentile society, whichever term you prefer. My
thesis has been that the Jews — as a whole — always are destructive: morally
destructive, socially destructive, even intellectually destructive, but above
all racially destructive. Any society, any nation, any people that gives the
Jews a free hand to do what they want will be destroyed by them. This is so
because it is in the nature of the Jews to destroy everything that is
non-Jewish, and because the Jews have a unique faculty for destroying other
peoples’ societies.
I’ll
come back to this thesis in a moment with some evidence, but first we should
note the problems it presents to us in our educational program. One problem is
the inability of many of our people to generalize at all. They see everything
only in individual and personal terms. You tell them that the Jews as a whole
are destructive to our society, and they’ll say, “Oh, no, that isn’t true,
because I know some Jews who aren’t doing anything destructive at all. They’re
just minding their own business and trying to earn a living like everyone else.”
They can’t quite grasp the concept of Jews as a whole; all they can see are Abe
and Dave and Izzy and Sara as individuals.
A second
problem is the other side of the coin: many of our people cannot think about the
role of the Jews objectively because they have been convinced that the Jews as a
whole aren’t like everyone else; they’re special and deserve special
consideration; they’re not subject to criticism like other people. And I’m not
referring primarily to the fundamentalist Christians, whose preachers have
taught them that the Jews are “God’s chosen people” and can do no wrong. I’m
thinking of the somewhat more sophisticated people, who have been taught by the
mass media and the schools that the Jews are exempt from criticism because of
their unique victim status. They suffered so much in the Holocaust that they
deserve special consideration, and to accuse them of bad motives or wrongdoing
is like kicking someone who is down.
Certainly, if we exclude the most primitive and superstitious Christians from
consideration, it is the massive Holocaust propaganda that makes it difficult
for most people to think objectively about the Jews. And let me tell you, it was
planned that way. We’ll talk a lot more about that, but first let me finish my
general thesis.
I said
that the Jews as a whole are socially, morally, intellectually, and racially
destructive, and that they have a unique faculty for being destructive. The
reason for this is their unique mode of existence as a parasitic minority in a
non-Jewish host population. Sometimes this dispersion — or diaspora — as a
minority among Gentile hosts has been supplemented by a geographical
concentration of Jews in Palestine or Babylon or another Jewish center, and
sometimes not. In either case, parasitic is the applicable adjective.
There
are other parasitic minorities, of course, but none are anything like the Jews.
Gypsies, for example, exist as a parasitic minority in most White countries.
Gypsies generally are considered a nuisance because of their proclivity for
stealing, and when they become too much of an irritation they are chased away by
the local people. But Gypsies never have an ambition to take over a White nation
and suck it dry. They never try to subvert the host population. They never try
to take over the schools or the newspapers and propagandize their hosts. They
generally want to live among themselves, maintain their own identity, and
exploit their hosts just enough to get by without causing a strong reaction.
The
Jews, on the other hand, always try to take over. They don’t want the crumbs
from Gentile society; they want everything. Gentile society, of course, resists,
which is why the Jews have been expelled en masse from every nation in
Europe, time after time, during the past thousand years. The Jewish method of
overcoming the resistance is to corrupt the nation they are attempting to get
their hands on. One aspect of the corruption is simple bribery. If you have
enough money you may be able to buy privileges from the leaders of the nation.
That worked when European nations were ruled by kings, and it works even better
when a society is run by elected politicians. But if you really want to suck a
nation dry, you need to go beyond bribery. You need to destroy a nation’s
solidarity. A nation is, after all, like a large extended family, with everyone
related by birth, even if very distantly.
You’re
either in the family, a member of the nation, or you’re an alien, not in the
family. That’s the essential distinction. So if you want to take over a nation,
you need to make the members of the family, the citizens of the nation, forget
their identity and their traditions. You need to corrupt the nation spiritually
and morally as well as politically. You need to erase the distinction between
insider and outsider; then you are no longer an outsider, and the resistance
against you crumbles. Understand? That is and always has been the Jewish method:
take over a nation by destroying it, by making a rootless, cosmopolitan,
multicultural cesspool of it.
In other
words, you need to gain control of the flow of information and ideas in the
nation. You need to gain control of the mass media of news and entertainment.
Then you can corrupt the nation’s soul. You can determine which opinions will be
fashionable, and which will not. You can reshape the defining myths of the
nation to suit your own ends. You can poison the minds of the children and turn
them against their own people. You can steal the people’s knowledge of their own
past from them and thereby be in a better position to steal their future too.
You can plunder the nation at will. And that is exactly what the Jews have done
to every Gentile society, every White nation, since the Second World War.
Of
course, corrupting a nation’s soul may turn out to be a fairly large and complex
undertaking, and lots of tricks may be required to get the job done. When it
comes to tricks, however, the Jews are in their own element. The slickest and
most effective trick the Jews have pulled since the war is their famous
Holocaust trick. I’ve spoken with you before about the Holocaust. I’ve pointed
out that the way to see through the trick is to examine it piece by piece, claim
by claim, detail by detail. That’s the way to separate the lies from the
half-truths that they have skillfully woven together. That’s why anyone who
refuses to swallow the thing whole, anyone who refuses to bow and genuflect in
the presence of the Holocaust, anyone who irreverently says, “Well, let’s
examine this thing and see what it’s made of,” is denounced hysterically as a
“Holocaust denier.”
Today
we’ll look at what a Jew has to say about the Holocaust trick. The Jew is Norman
Finkelstein. He is a professor at the City University of New York, and he’s a
leftist. Like some other leftist Jews, he’s at odds with what he sees as a
fascist government in Israel. More than that, I believe, is his concern that the
greedier and more ambitious Jews will overreach themselves and bring disaster
down on the heads of all the Jews. He’s especially concerned that the Holocaust
myth will come unraveled and result in an enormous Gentile backlash against the
Jews. He would like to defuse the thing before it blows up. And so Finkelstein
has just had a book published for that purpose. It is titled The Holocaust
Industry, and his fellow Jews are not happy about it. In fact, they are
screaming for his blood. It is a dynamite book. It was published last month, and
you can get a copy from my company, National Vanguard Books, or from Amazon.com,
even though you probably won’t find it in your friendly neighborhood bookstore.
Finkelstein spends the first few pages of his book documenting the fact that the
Holocaust is a Jewish myth constructed more than 20 years after the end of the
Second World War. The term did not come into general use until after 1967.
Everyone understood, of course, that Jews had died during the war. No one
questioned the fact that there were concentration camps where many Jews,
Gypsies, communists, homosexuals, and other undesirables were segregated from
German society. No one questioned the fact that toward the end of the war, when
conditions in Poland and Germany became chaotic, conditions became even worse in
the concentration camps, and many concentration camp prisoners, weakened by
malnutrition, died from typhus and other diseases. No one questioned the fact
that on the eastern front there were mass shootings of Jewish hostages or that
Jewish political commissars were separated from Soviet POWs and shot. Many
civilians on both the German side and the Jewish side died during the war.
But it
wasn’t until more than 20 years after the war that Jewish leaders calculated
that there was much to be gained by portraying Jews as the principal victims of
the war, and so the Holocaust myth was constructed for this purpose. Mixing some
facts — usually exaggerated or distorted facts — with lots of invention, the
skilled mythmakers of Hollywood and New York brought forth the Holocaust, in
which innocent Jews became the principal victims of the war, pushed into “gas
ovens” by the millions by sadistic Nazis.
Finkelstein notes that the two defining dogmas of the Holocaust were, first, the
claim that it was unique, the claim that no other persecution in all of history
was even close to the Holocaust in magnitude or severity, the claim that the
Holocaust gives to Jews the status of the premier victims of the world. Nobody
else has suffered as much as the Jews have — and so nobody else is entitled to
as much sympathy and compensation as the Jews. To suggest otherwise is
tantamount to sacrilege.
The
second defining dogma of the Holocaust was that it was a completely irrational
act on the part of the Germans and was in no way based on anything the Jews
themselves had done. The Jews, in other words were wholly blameless victims. To
suggest that perhaps it was some behavior on the part of the Jews which provoked
the Germans was to “blame the victim,” a very Politically Incorrect sin. It was
a transgression against this second dogma — the dogma of irrationality — which
caused one of Germany’s most distinguished historians, Ernst Nolte, to be cast
into the outer darkness by the Jews and their Gentile allies. Nolte has pointed
out in his writing that one of the reasons Hitler was determined to break the
grip of the Jews on German society was their support for communism, and this
also was one of a number of reasons the German people shared Hitler’s dislike of
the Jews. The overwhelming role of the Jews in Soviet communism — and also in
the communist movement in Germany before Hitler became chancellor in 1933 — was
well known in Germany and elsewhere. And the atrocities committed by the Jews
against the Gentile populations of those countries under communist rule — the
artificial famine in Ukraine in which millions died and the mass shootings of
Ukrainian peasants, for example — were well known also. So when Nolte received
an award last month for his work as a historian, the Jews went into their
Chicken Little act, a lot like the act they staged when Austrian Jörg Haider’s
party entered the Austrian government a few months ago. Nolte was being rewarded
for “blaming the victims” the Jews and their apologists screeched.
Finkelstein quotes some of the leading Holocaust propagandists in this regard.
They see any form of anti-Semitism as a “Gentile mental pathology” with no
rational basis. According to Holocaust high priest Elie Wiesel the anti-Semite
is driven by:
. .
.irrational arguments and simply resents the fact that the Jew exists.
Wiesel
writes:
For two
thousand years . . . we were always threatened. . . . For what? For no reason.
Daniel
Goldhagen, the author of Hitler’s Willing Executioners, one of the most
outrageously self-serving Holocaust propaganda books, writes that anti-Semitism
is:
divorced
from actual Jews . . . fundamentally not a response to any objective evaluation
of Jewish action . . . independent of Jews’ nature and actions.
The
Jewish novelist Cynthia Ozick explains it by saying:
The
world wants to wipe out the Jews . . . the world has always wanted to wipe out
the Jews.
Finkelstein’s book is especially valuable because it is so well documented. He
cites dozens of other books and gives specific references to a number of
especially revealing statements by other Jews. He also spares no scorn in
talking about charlatans such as Wiesel and Goldhagen. He shows up Wiesel as a
pious fraud whose standard speaker’s fee for lying about what happened during
the Second World War is $25,000. Wiesel’s popularity is based on his ability to
look solemn and spout utter nonsense without cracking a smile. He doesn’t talk
about reality but about the sacred, ineffable mystery which is the Holocaust, a
mystery beyond all understanding or explanation, which must never be examined or
questioned. And his Gentile audiences just eat it up. I must admit that I
thought a Jew couldn’t be embarrassed by this sort of fraud, but apparently
Finkelstein really is embarrassed by Wiesel.
Finkelstein’s explanation as to why the Holocaust was invented is essentially
the same as mine: the Holocaust gives the Jews immunity from criticism for
whatever they do to non-Jews, no matter how atrocious, and it gives them a
rationale for demanding a handout from the rest of the world. Finkelstein does a
very creditable job of establishing this explanation by detailing the way in
which the Jews have squeezed the Swiss and others for billions of dollars in
Holocaust reparations. He writes:
In
recent years the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket.
Certainly, Finkelstein’s book should be read by anyone interested in what the
Jews are doing. It is filled with very valuable information. It does have one
extremely serious shortcoming, however. It blames the Holocaust fraud on a few
greedy and unscrupulous Jews. Finkelstein writes about the activities of some of
these Jews: Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress; Rabbi Israel
Singer, the secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress; Rabbi Marvin Hier of
the Simon Wiesenthal Center; Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League, and so
on. And the greed and pushiness of these Jews is indeed breathtaking.
Finkelstein reveals, for example, that Simon Wiesenthal, the famous Nazi-hunter,
rents out his name to the Simon Wiesenthat Center in Los Angeles for $90,000 a
year. Actually, that’s a good deal for Rabbi Hier and the Simon Wiesenthal
Center. Hier rakes in millions of dollars every year from guilt-stricken
Gentiles by reminding them that they didn’t save enough Jews from Hitler during
the Second World War.
But the
fact is that if there were only a few greedy conspirators involved, the
Holocaust industry never would have made a profit. The average couch potato
never would have heard of it. The average soccer mom wouldn’t feel a twinge of
guilt whenever Elie Wiesel invokes the sacred Holocaust mystery. So-called
“Holocaust studies” would not be a part of the curriculum for high school
students in 17 states. Israel wouldn’t be able to build a huge arsenal of
chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons without a peep of protest from anyone
and then demand successfully that Iraq be bombed back into the Stone Age for
trying to do the same thing.
The fact
is that the Holocaust industry was built first and foremost by the mass media,
and literally hundreds of thousands of Jews labor in that particular vineyard. A
few ambitious Zionists and greedy Jewish hucksters may have come up with the
original idea, but Steven Spielberg has done infinitely more to build the
Holocaust myth than all of the greedy Zionist officials together. Furthermore,
the Holocaust has been endorsed and supported by nearly the entire Jewish
community. Nearly every Jew wants his share of Holocaust profits. Those like
Finkelstein who have done anything at all to expose the fraud or even to
disassociate themselves from it are a very tiny minority. Finkelstein certainly
understands that, but he doesn’t admit in his book that he understands it. He
doesn’t want to indict the Jewish community as a whole for the fraud, but in
fact, it is the Jewish community as a whole that is guilty.
I said
earlier that the Jews as a whole are destructive, and I used the example of the
Holocaust to support this statement. The Holocaust is supported by and benefits
Jews as a whole, not just a few of them, and the Holocaust is destructive to us,
to our nation, in a thousand ways. The Holocaust shields Jewish organized crime
in America, for example. Janet Reno’s Justice Department is afraid to tackle the
big Jewish gangsters the way it tackled the Italian Mafia. The White sex-slave
trade is able to flourish in Israel, and no politician in the United States will
do anything to oppose it because it is a Jewish business. No politician in our
government will threaten to cut off aid to Israel. Hillary Clinton can
participate in an international conference on protecting women and deliberately
and knowingly sabotage any measures that might put a crimp in the Jewish trade
in sex slaves, and no one has the courage to criticize her for it. There’s
really a lot more than crime and money and political corruption involved in this
Holocaust racket. We let it control us, we let it rob us of our courage, and it
destroys our souls.
Well,
I’ve spoken in earlier broadcasts about many of the issues involved in the
Holocaust racket. I’ll speak about other Holocaust issues in future broadcasts.
It’s a big subject, with many facets. What you can do now is read Professor
Finkelstein’s book, The Holocaust Industry. And then think about what
you’ve read in the book while you watch the Bush campaign dance all around Al
Gore’s vice-presidential choice Joseph Lieberman, afraid to lay a glove on him.
You’ll understand why they’re afraid to say anything critical of Lieberman.
