Arbeit macht frei: - Fredrick Töben

Zionist Theodor Herzl: Anti-Semitism is ‘an understandable reaction to
Jewish defects’ brought about ultimately by gentile persecution: Jews had
been educated to be ‘leeches’ who possessed ‘frightful financial power’;
they were ‘a money-worshipping people incapable of understanding that a
man can act out of other motives than money.’
Edward A. Ross: ‘The authorities complain that the East European
Hebrews feel no reverence for law as such and are willing to break any
ordinance they find in their way. . . . The insurance companies scan a
Jewish fire risk more closely than any other. Credit men say the Jewish
merchant is often ‘slippery’ and will ‘fail’ in order to get rid of his debts.
For lying the immigrant has a very bad reputation. In the North End of
Boston ‘the readiness of the Jews to commit perjury has passed into a
proverb.’
Edmund Connelly has reviewed the work of two academic historians, Paul
Johnson (A History of the Jews) and Albert Lindemann (Esau’s Tears:
Modern Anti-Semitism and the Rise of the Jews), who ‘have shown that
this pattern of Jewish deception and fraud in pursuit of wealth and its
legitimacy within the Jewish community have a long history.’
The key point is the legitimacy of fraud within the Jewish community.
Successful fraudsters are not shunned but rather become pillars of the
community:
Reflecting the legitimacy of white collar crime in the wider Jewish
community in the contemporary world, [Michael] Milken is a pillar of the
Jewish community in Los Angeles and a major donor to Jewish causes.
Indeed, this is part of a pattern: Ivan Boesky donated $20 million to the
library at the Jewish Theological Seminary. And the notorious Marc Rich
has donated millions of dollars to a wide range of Jewish causes, including
Birthright Israel, a program designed to increase Jewish identification
among young Jews. The list of people supporting Rich’s pardon by Bill
Clintonwas ‘a virtual Who’s Who of Israeli society and Jewish
philanthropy.’ A rabbi concerned about the ethics of these practices notes,
‘it is a rare Jewish organization that thinks carefully about the source of a
donor’s money. … The dangerous thing is not that people make moral
mistakes, but that we don’t talk about it.’
The idea is that the Jewish financial elite sees the non-Jewish world in
instrumental terms — as objects with no moral value. As I noted earlier,
there is a strong suggestion that the financial elite behaved much more like
an organized crime syndicate than as an elite with a sense of civic
responsibility or commitment to the long term viability of the society.
Whereas organized crime stems from the lower levels of society, this
meltdown was accomplished at the very pinnacle of society — the Ivy
League grads …, the wealthy financial firms and investment rating agencies,
