One absolute condition insisted upon with the daily Press is that it
shall not identify the Jew, mention him, or in any but the most
favorable way call the public's attention to his existence.
The first plea for this is based on "fairness," on the false statement
that a Jew is not a Jew but a church member. This is the same statement
which Jewish agents in the United States Government have used for years
to prevent the United States Government from listing the Jews in any
racial statistics. It is in direct contradiction to what the Jews
themselves are told. A flabby "fairness," a sloppy "broad-mindedness," a
cry of "religious prejudice," is the first plea. The second is a sudden
cessation of Jewish patronage. The third is withdrawal of patronage by
every Gentile concern that is under the grip of Jewish financiers. It is
a mere matter of brutal bludgeoning. And the fourth act, in a community
thoroughly blinded to the Jewish Question, is the collapse of the
offending publication.
Read the Jewish Encyclopedia for a list of some of the papers which
dared open up the Question, and ceased!
When old Baron Moses Montefiore said at Krakau:
"What are you prating about? As long as we do not have the press of the
whole world in our hands, everything you may do is vain. We must control
or influence the papers of the whole world in order to blind and deceive
the people."
--he knew what he was saying. By "blinding" the people he only meant
that they should not see the Jew, and by "deceiving" them he only meant
that the people should think certain world movements meant one thing
when they really meant another. The people may be told what happens:
they may not be told what was behind it. The people do not yet know why
certain occurrences which have affected their whole lives, should have
occurred at all. But the "why" of it is very definitely known in certain
circles whose news service never sees print, and sometimes not even
writing.
Statistics as to the space given the Jews by newspapers concerning
things they want to get into print would also be an eye-opener. A
minority nation, they get more publicity than any ten of the important
minor nations of Europe--of the kind of publicity they want!
The number of Jewish contributors to the Press of the United States
makes another interesting statistical bit. It would be sheer prejudice
to make objectionable mention of many Jewish journalists and writers,
and they come within the scope of this study only as they have shown
themselves to be the watchful agents and active servants of the System.
This is what many of them are. Not the ambitious young Jewish reporter
who runs around the streets gathering news, perhaps, but the journalist
at the seat of the news and at the necks of those two or three important
international runways through which the news of the world flows.
