BOOK ONE — INTRODUCTION<br />
It must be observed that when Ford made this statement concerning <strong>the</strong> <strong>Protocols</strong> in<br />
relationship to his publication “<strong>The</strong> International Jew,” this document, which is allegedly <strong>the</strong><br />
secret minutes <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Elders</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Zion</strong>, was only 16 years old by <strong>the</strong> time Ford published articles<br />
about <strong>the</strong>m. <strong>The</strong> Jews had advertised to <strong>the</strong> world that <strong>The</strong> <strong>Protocols</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Learned</strong> <strong>Elders</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Zion</strong> were forgeries. Ford wasted no time arguing this question. He merely said: i.e., no matter<br />
what <strong>the</strong>y are, <strong>the</strong>y accurately describe what is going on today in social, economic, and political<br />
circumstances.<br />
In his book titled My Life and Work, 209/ Henry Ford commented on his “<strong>The</strong> International<br />
Jew” newspaper series:<br />
Readers <strong>of</strong> our articles will see at once that we are not actuated by any kind <strong>of</strong> prejudice,<br />
except it may be a prejudice in favor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> principles which have made our civilization.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re had been observed in this country certain streams <strong>of</strong> influence which were causing<br />
a marked deterioration in out literature, amusements, and social conduct; business was<br />
departing from its old-time substantial soundness; a general letting-down <strong>of</strong> standards<br />
were felt everywhere. It was not <strong>the</strong> robust coarseness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> white man, <strong>the</strong> rude<br />
indelicacy, say <strong>of</strong> Shakespeare characters, but a nasty Orientalism which has insidiously<br />
affected every channel <strong>of</strong> expression — and to such an extent that it was time to<br />
challenge it. <strong>The</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong>se influences are all traceable to one racial source is a fact<br />
to he reckoned with...Our work does not pretend to say <strong>the</strong> last word on <strong>the</strong> Jew in<br />
America. It says only <strong>the</strong> word which describes his present impress on this country.<br />
When that impress is changed, <strong>the</strong> report can be changed...Our opposition is only to<br />
ideas, false ideas, which are sapping <strong>the</strong> moral stamina <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> people. <strong>The</strong>se ideas<br />
proceed from <strong>the</strong> easily identified sources, that are promulgated by <strong>the</strong> easily<br />
discoverable methods and <strong>the</strong>y are controlled by mere exposure.<br />
When people learn to identify <strong>the</strong> source and nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> influence swirling around<br />
<strong>the</strong>m. that is sufficient. Let <strong>the</strong> American people once understand that it is not natural<br />
degeneracy but calculated subversion that afflicts us, and <strong>the</strong>y are safe.<br />
<strong>The</strong> explanation is <strong>the</strong> cure. This work [<strong>The</strong> International Jew — <strong>The</strong> World’s Foremost<br />
Problem] was taken up without personal motives. When it reached a stage where we<br />
believed <strong>the</strong> American people could grasp <strong>the</strong> key, we let it rest for <strong>the</strong> time. Our<br />
enemies say that we began it for revenge and that we laid it down in fear. Time will<br />
show that our critics [<strong>the</strong> jews] are merely dealing in evasion because <strong>the</strong>y dare not tackle<br />
<strong>the</strong> main question.<br />
No mature-minded thinker — in fact, no honest reader, could question Henry Ford’s<br />
logic as summarized above. All that America and <strong>the</strong> free world needs is to “know is <strong>the</strong> truth,<br />
and that very truth shall set us free.” 210/<br />
