Part I
„Under the pressure of international finance the atmosphere in Europe became
very congested. Instead of using the huge money resources for cultural purposes,
the international banking houses urged unlimited armaments of European States,
and sometime deliberately precipitated military adventures. In this connection
it is of interest to recall a statement of Israel Zangwill, the well-known
Zionist leader, to the effect that it was Mr. Jacob Schiff who financed ‘the
Japanese War against Russia,’ (See Israel Zangwill’s „The Problems of the Jewish
Race,“ p. 14, The Judaic Publishing Company, New York). as well as another
statement, that of Mr. George Kennan, revealing the fact that it was the same
banker who financed the revolution among Russian war prisoners in Japan (Compare
the report on a Socialist meeting held in Carnegie Hall on March 23, 1917, to
celebrate the Russian Revolution, as recorded in the New York Times, March 24,
1917). Immense munition plants, such as Krupp and Szkoda, Poutiloff, and Manfred
Weiss, Deutsch & Son, and Schneider, were all controlled directly or indirectly
by high finance, forming part of the interlocking system. Nor should it be
forgotten that the same group of cosmopolitan bankers invariably have given
their support to varioius enterprises which helped the Central Powers to further
their imperialistic plans. Thus, soon after the annexation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, when the Dual Monarchy began her war preparations against Italy, it
was this bankers’ group which loaned 300 million kronen for the expansion of the
Austrian navy, with the result that the new battleships were christened by one
part of the European press as „Rothschild dreadnaughts.“ (The World at
the Cross Roads, Boris Brasol, pp. 11- 12).
„Thanks to the terrible power of our International Banks, we have forced the
Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value for Jews, since
Christians massacre each other and make more room for us Jews. Wars are the
Jews’ Harvest: The Jew banks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100-million
Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars, and the end is not
yet.“ (Rabbi Reichorn, speaking at the funeral of Grand Rabbi Simeon
Ben-Iudah, 1869, Henry Ford also noted that: ‘It was a Jew who said,
‘Wars are the Jews’ harvest’; but no harvest is so rich as civil wars.’
The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem, Vol. III, p. 180).
„I fear the Jewish banks with their craftiness and tortuous tricks will
entirely control the exuberant riches of America. And use it to systematically
corrupt modern civilization. The Jews will not hesitate to plunge the whole of
Christendom into wars and chaos that the earth should become their inheritance.“
(Bismarck)
„...the main purveyors of funds for the revolution, however, were neither the
crackpot Russian millionaires nor the armed bandits of Lenin. The ‘real’ money
primarily came from certain British and American circles which for a long time
past had lent their support to the Russian revolutionary cause...The important
part played by the wealthy American Jewish Banker, Jacob Schiff, in the events
in Russia...is no longer a secret.“ (Red Symphony, p. 252)
„Mr. Lawton, in one remark, throws a sidelight on the moving forces behind
the revolution, which might suggest to him further investigation as to the
origin of what has become a world movement. That movement cannot any longer be
shrouded by superficial talk of the severity of the Russian regime, which is so
favorite an excuse among our Socialists for the most atrocious action, of the
Bolsheviks, who did not come into power till six months after Tsardom was ended:
I wish to emphasize the paramount role which the power of money played in
bringing about the Revolution. And here it may not be out of place to mention
that well documented works have recently been published in France proving that
neither Robespiere nor Danton were isolated figures upon the revolutionary stage,
but that both were puppets of financial backers...
When the first revolution broke out Lenin was in Zurich, where he was
financially helped by an old Swiss merchant, who later went to Russia to live as
a permanent guest of the Revolution, and some time afterwards disappeared. If
Lenin had not obeyed the orders of his pay-masters how long would he have
remained in the land of the living?“ (The Patriot; The Secret Powers
Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Léon De Poncins, pp. 168-169).
„The influence of the Jews at the present time is more noticeable than ever.
That they are at the head of European capitalism, we are all aware...In politics
many of the Jews are in the front rank...That their excessive wealth, used as it
has been, acts as a solvent influence in modern society cannot be questioned...But
while on the one hand the Jews are thus beyond dispute the leaders of the
plutocracy of Europe...another section of the same race (people) from the
leaders of that revolutionary propaganda which is making way against that very
capitalist class, representing their own fellow Jews. Jews, more than any other
men...are acting as the leaders in the revolutionary movement which I have
endeavored to trace.“ (Nineteenth Century, January, 1881, pp. 10-11, art.
by H.M. Hyndman, entitled The Dawn of a Revolutionary Epoch).
„Some years ago a Jewish financier was reproached for pouring millions of
dollars into Soviet Russia. ‘Have you,’ he tersely retorted, ‘ever visualized in
your mind what would happen to our brethren in Russia should - God forbid - the
Soviet regime collapse? the retaliatory measures would be terrible, apart form
the outbursts of the avengeful populace.’ The fact remains that in Russia anti-Semitism
obtains now in the same degree as in the Czarist days with the sole difference
that now it is driven underground, which aggravates the malady.“ (The
Patriot).
„The constant wars which followed William’s accession had compelled the king
to borrow large sums from the London merchants (Jews). Out of these loans sprang,
first the National Debt, which was destined to grow, eventually by leaps and
bounds, from less than a million of pounds up to so many hundred millions, that
all thought of ever paying it is now given up. The second result was the
organization of a company for the management of this colossal debt, the Bank of
England.“ (D.H. Montgomery, The Leading Facts of English History, (1893)
2nd Edition, p. 288).
„The financial career of the Rothchilds is the key to the history of the
Jewish Banking in the nineteenth century...The plan adopted by him of
establishing branches in the more important European capitals, over which he
placed his sons, was followed by other Jewish banking-houses...the influence of
Jews on Banking...was due to the preliminary advantage given to them by their
international position.“ (The Jewish Encyclopedia (1902), Vol. II, p.
492-93) {The other Jewish families that adopted the Rothschild plan of
establishing local banking branches in European cities include: The Lazards,
Sterns, Speyers, Seligmans, Warburgs and Leob families}.
„It was the Jews who first permitted kings to maintain costly armies of
mercenaries. In Spain, it was largely the part of Jewish finance that allowed
the king to defeat the Arabs.“ (Abram Leon, The Jewish Question, p. 166)
„Give me control of the money of a country and I care not who makes her
laws.“ (Meyer Rothschild).
„The Rothschilds introduced the rule of money into European politics. The
Rothschilds were the servants of money who undertook the reconstruction of the
world as an image of money and its functions. Money and the employment of wealth
have become the law of European life; we no longer have nations, but economic
provinces.“ (New York Times, Professor Wilhelm, a German historian, July
8, 1937).
„Dear Sirs: A. Mr. John Sherman has written us from a town in Ohio, U.S.A.,
as to the profits that may be made in the National Banking business under a
recent act of your Congress (National Bank Act of 1863), a copy of which act
accompanied his letter. Apparently this act has been drawn upon the plan
formulated here last summer by the British Bankers Association and by that
Association recommended to our American friends as one that if enacted into law,
would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout the world.
Mr. Sherman declares that there has never before been such an opportunity for
capitalists to accumulate money, as that presented by this act and that the old
plan, of State Banks is so unpopular, that the new scheme will, by contrast, be
most favorably regarded, notwithstanding the fact that it gives the national
Banks an almost absolute control of the National finance. ‘The few who can
understand the system,’ he says ‘will either be so interested in its profits, or
so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class,
while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of
comprehending the tremendous advantages that capital derives from the system,
will bear its burdens without even suspecting that the system is inimical to
their interests.’ Please advise us fully as to this matter and also state
whether or not you will be of assistance to us, if we conclude to establish a
National Bank in the City of New York...Awaiting your reply, we are.“
(Rothschild Brothers. London, June 25, 1863. Famous Quotes On Money).
In reply to the above letter Messrs. Ikelheimer, Morton and Vandergould
replied: Dear Sirs: ‘We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 25th,
in which you refer to a communication received from Honorable John Sherman, of
Ohio, with reference to the advantages, and profits, of an American investment
under the provisions of the National Banking Act.
Mr. Sherman possesses, in a marked degree, the distinguishing characteristics
of a successful financier. His temperament is such that whatever his feelings
may be they never cause him to lose sight of the main chance. He is young,
shrewd and ambitious. He has fixed his eyes upon the Presidency of the United
States and already is a member of Congress (he has financial ambitions too). He
rightfully thinks he has everything to gain by being friendly with men, and
institutions, having large financial resources, and which at times are not too
particular in their methods, either of obtaining government aid, or protecting
themselves against unfriendly legislation...Requesting that you will regard this
as strictly confidential, Most respectfully yours, Ikelheimer, Morton and
Vandergould.“ (Pawns In The Game, William Guy Carr, pp. 55-57).
„If you will look back at every war in Europe during the nineteenth century,
you will see that they always ended with the establishment of a ‘balance of
power.’ With every re-shuffling there was a balance of power in a new grouping
around the House of Rothschild in England, France, or Austria. They grouped
nations so that if any king got out of line, a war would break out and the war
would be decided by which way the financing went. Researching the debt positions
of the warring nations will usually indicate who was to be punished.“
(Economist Sturat Crane).
„The Jews...are at the root of regicide, they own the periodical press, they
have in their hands the financial markets, the people as a whole fall into
financial slavery to them...“ (The Siege, p. 38)
„For the last one hundred and fifty years, the history of the House of
Rothschild has been to an amazing degree the backstage history of Western
Europe...Because of their success in making loans not to individuals but to
nations, they reaped huge profits...Someone once said that the wealth of
Rothschild consists of the bankruptcy of nations.“ (Frederic Morton, The
Rothschilds)
„The fact that: The house of Rothschild made its money in the great crashes
of history and the great wars of history, the very periods when others lost
their money, is beyond question.“ (E.C. Knuth, The Empire of the City)
„Under this roof are the heads of the family of Rothschild -- a name famous
in every capital of Europe and every division of the globe. If you like, we
shall divide the United States into two parts, one for you, James [Rothschild],
and one for you, Lionel [Rothschild]. Napoleon will do exactly and all that I
shall advise him.“ (Reported to have been the comments of Disraeli at the
marriage of Lionel Rothschild’s daughter, Leonora, to her cousin, Alphonse, son
of James Rothschild of Paris).
„Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and chattel slavery
destroyed. This, I and my [Jewish] European friends are glad of, for slavery is
but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers, while the
European plan, led by England, is that capital shall control labor by
controlling wages. This can be done by controlling the money. The great debt
that capitalists will see to it is made out of the war, must be used as a means
to control the volume of money. To accomplish this, the bonds must be used as a
banking basis. We are now awaiting for the Secretary of the Treasury to make his
recommendation to Congress. It will not do to allow the greenback, as it is
called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that.“
(Hazard Circular, issued by the Rothschild controlled Bank of England, 1862).
