Immediately upon the appearance of the Jewish Question in the United
States the Jews reverted naturally to their habit of mislabeling. They
were going to fool the people once more with a pat phrase. They are
still seeking for that phrase. Slowly they are recognizing that they are
up against the Truth, and truth is neither a jazzy jade nor a movie
motto, which can be recostumed and changed at will.
This passion for misleading people by names is deep and varied in its
expression. Chiefly due to Jewish influences, we are giving the name of
“liberalism” to looseness. We are dignifying with names that do not
correctly name, many subversive movements. We are living in an era of
false labels, whose danger is recognized by all who observe the various
underground currents which move through all sections of society.
Socialism itself is no longer what its name signifies; the name has been
seized and used to label anarchy. Judaistic influence creeping into the
Christian church has kept the apostolic labels, but thoroughly destroyed
the apostolic content; the disruptive work has gone on quietly and
unhindered, because often as the people looked, the same label was
there—as the same old merchant’s name stays on the store the Jews have
bought and cheapened. Thus there are “reverends” who are both unreverend
and irreverent, and there are shepherds who flock with the wolves.
Zionism is another misnomer. Modern Zionism is not what its label would
indicate it to be. The managers of the new money collection—millions of
it, badly used, badly accounted for—are about as much interested in
Zionism as an Ohio Baptist is in Meccaism. For the leading so-called
“Zionists,” Mt. Zion and all that it stands for has next to no meaning;
they see only the political and real estate aspects of Palestine,
another people’s country just at present. The present movement is not
religious, although it plays upon the religions sentiments of the lower
class of Jews; it is certainly not what Judaized orators among the
Christians want the Christians to think it is; Zionism is at present a
most mischievous thing, potentially a most dangerous thing, as several
governments could confidentially tell you.
But it is all a part of the Jewish practice of setting up a label
pretending one thing, while quite another thing really exists.
Take anti-Semitism. That is a label which the Jews have industriously
pasted up everywhere. If ever it was an effective label its uses are
over now. It doesn’t mean anything. Anti-Semitism does not exist, since
the thing so named is found among the Semites, too. Semites cannot be
anti-Semitic. When the world holds up a warning finger against a race
that is the moving spirit of the corruptive, subversive and destructive
influences abroad in the world today, that race cannot nullify the
warning by sticking up a false label of “Anti-Semitism,” any more than
it can justify the sign of gold on a $1.50 watch or the sign of “pure
wool” on a $11.50 suit of clothes.
