Phoenix Journal 208 - Four Winds 10

impossible demands. First of all, by advancing demands which cannot be met, they issue a challenge to
both their supporters and their opponents to choose sides, and to go on record either with their support or
their opposition. It does not matter how unreasonable the demands are; if they are completely unreasonable,
this means that their supporters agree to uphold them even in the most preposterous claims. As for
the opponents, their names also go on the record, and can be disposed of later, by the most ruthless
means. “Never forgive; never forget”, as their motto proudly proclaims.
The Swiss government’s initial response to the demands from the World Jewish Congress were firm, but
unyielding. However, they were amazed, and then terrified, by the counter-tactics which engulfed them
from the conspirators. A worldwide media assault was launched which denounced the Swiss, not only for
“stealing” Jewish gold, but also for alleged cooperation with the Nazi government throughout World War
II. However, the Swiss government’s record during the Second World War showed that its famed neutrality
was maintained, not only by the German government, but by the Allied governments as well. It suited
the warring nations that a Swiss island of neutrality be observed in order to carry on negotiations and to
provide the ideal meeting ground for espionage agents of all the powers. Britain’s famed Secret Intelligence
Service had its James Bonds roaming freely throughout Switzerland during the war. The U.S.
government set up Allen Dulles of the Office of Strategic Services with a full-time espionage office in
Switzerland from 1943 to 1945. From this redoubt, he directed a network of American agents in Germany,
many of whom established direct contacts with Nazi officials. After the war, Dulles was rewarded
by being named the head of the new Central Intelligence Agency.
ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE STORY
In its new assault against Switzerland, the World Jewish Congress was ably abetted by Zionist control of
media outlets: the Meyer family at the Washington Post; the Sulzbergers at the New York Times; the $10
billion Newhouse newspaper empire which controlled many dailies throughout the United States, and their
Canadian and English associates in the Hollinger and Thomson chains, which owned hundreds of daily
newspapers in the United States. Always eager to oblige, the cover of Time magazine featured a lurid gold
swastika as its intellectual contribution to the battle, which was intended to dramatize not only the “missing”
Jewish gold, but also the guilt of Switzerland as a Nazi collaborator.
The World Jewish Congress, after the shock of the initial $71 billion claim against Switzerland had abated,
scaled its demands quickly down to a mere $7 billion. Rumors were put forth that this demand would most
likely be finalized at $500 million; Bronfman intimated that he would refuse to go lower than this “modest”
figure. This would still be a very handsome settlement for claims amounting to $4 million, which had been
paid in full in a final settlement negotiated by the United States government in 1946.
Swiss government officials went into shock as the great gold heist proceeded according to schedule. After
denouncing the plot as “extortion” and intimidation, the Swiss were met by Bronfman’s hard line. He
announced that there would be a worldwide boycott of Swiss banks in the financial markets, which could
very well result in the “disestablishment” of Switzerland as a financial power. Panicked by this prospect,
the Swiss officials suddenly became propitiatory. They announced various plans for “investigating” the
claims, promised to set up “humanitarian” funds, and made other amazing concessions, amazing in view of
the fact that a group of determined attackers had launched their conspiracy without any evidence that
anybody in Switzerland owed them anything.
