JEWISH HISTORY IN THE
UNITED STATES
The story of the Jews in America begins with Christopher
Columbus. On August 2, 1492, more than 300,000 Jews were
expelled from Spain and on August 3, the next day, Columbus
set sail for the west, taking a group of Jews with him.
They were not, however, refugees, for the prophetic
navigator's plans had aroused the sympathy of influential
Jews for a long period previously. Columbus himself tells us
that he consorted much with Jews. The first letter he wrote
detailing his discoveries was to a Jew. Indeed, the eventful
voyage itself which added to men's knowledge and wealth "the
other half of the earth" was made possible by Jews. The
pleasant story that it was Queen Isabella's jewels which
financed the voyage has disappeared under cool research.
There were three Maranos or "secret Jews" who wielded great
influence at the Spanish court: Luis de Santagel, who was an
important merchant of Valencia and who was "farmer" of the
royal taxes; his relative, Gabriel Sanchez, who was the
royal treasurer; and their friend, the royal chamberlain,
Juan Cabrero. These worked unceasingly on Queen Isabella's
imagination, picturing to her the depletion of the royal
treasury and the likelihood of Columbus discovering the
fabulous gold of the Indies, until the Queen was ready to
offer her jewels in pawn for the funds. But Santagel craved
permission to advance the money himself, which he did,
17,000 ducats in all, about 5,000 pounds, perhaps equal to
40,000 pounds today.
Associated with Columbus in the voyage were at least five
Jews: Luis de Torres, interpreter; Marco, the surgeon;
Bernal, the physician; Alonzo de la Calle, and Gabriel
Sanchez. Luis de Torres was the first man ashore, the first
to discover the use of tobacco; he settled in Cuba and may
be said to be the father of Jewish control of the tobacco
business as it exists today.
Columbus' old patrons, Luis de Santagel and Gabriel Sanchez,
received many privileges for the part they played in the
work, but Columbus himself became the victim of a conspiracy
fostered by Bernal, the ship's doctor, and suffered
injustice and imprisonment as his reward.
From that beginning, Jews looked more and more to America as
a fruitful field, and immigration set in strongly toward
South America, principally Brazil. But because of military
participation in a disagreement between the Brazilians and
the Dutch, the Jews of Brazil found it necessary to
emigrate, which they did in the direction of the Dutch
colony of what is now New York. Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch
governor, did not entirely approve of their settling among
his people and ordered them to leave, but the Jews had
evidently taken the precaution to assure their being
received if not welcomed, because upon revoking the order of
Stuyvesant, the Directors gave as one of the reasons for the
Jews being received, "the large amount of capital which they
have invested in the shares of the Company."
Nevertheless they were forbidden to enter public service and
to open retail shops, which had the effect of driving them
into foreign trade in which they were soon exercising all
but a monopoly because of their European connections.
This is only one of the thousand illustrations which can be
given of the resourcefulness of the Jew. Forbid him in one
direction he will excel in another. When he was forbidden to
deal in new clothes, he sold old clothes-that was the
beginning of the organized traffic in secondhand clothing.
When he was forbidden to deal in merchandise, he dealt in
waste -- the Jew is the originator of the waste product
business of the world; he was the originator of the salvage
system; he found wealth in the debris of civilization. He
taught people how to use old rags, how to clean old
feathers, how to use gall nuts and rabbit skins. He has
always had a taste for the furrier trade, which he now
controls, and to him is due the multitude of common skins
which now pass under various alluring trade names as furs of
high origin.
Unwittingly, old Peter Stuyvesant compelled the Jews to make
New York the principal port of America, and though a
majority of New York Jews had fled to Philadelphia at the
time of the American Revolution, most of them returned to
New York at the earliest opportunity, instinct seeming to
make them aware that, in New York was to be their principal
paradise of gain. And so it has proved.
New York is the greatest center of Jewish population in the
world. It is the gateway where the bulk of American imports
and exports are taxed, and where practical all the business
done in America pays tribute to the masters of money. The
very land of the city is the holdings of the Jews.
No wonder that Jewish writers, viewing this unprecedented
prosperity, this unchecked growth in wealth and power,
exclaim enthusiastically that the United States is the
Promised Land foretold by the prophets, and New York the New
Jerusalem. Some have gone even further and described the
peaks of the Rockies as "the mountains of Zion," and with
reason, too, if the mining and coastal wealth of the Jews is
considered.
In the time of George Washington there were about 4,000 Jews
in the country, most of them well to do traders. They
favored the American side and helped the revolutionary
colonies out with loans at critical moments.
In fifty years the traceable increase in the Jewish
population of the United States was more than 3,300,000.
What it is today no man can estimate with any hope of
accuracy.
To make a list of the lines of business controlled by the
Jews of the United States would be to touch most of the
vital industries of the country -- those which are really
vital, and those which cultivated habit have been made to
seem vital. The theatrical business is exclusively Jewish:
play-producing, booking, theater operation are all in the
hands of Jews. This accounts for the fact that in almost
every production today can be detected propaganda, sometimes
glaringly commercial advertisement, sometimes direct
political instruction.
The motion picture industry; the sugar industry; the tobacco
industry; fifty per cent or more of the meat packing
industry; over sixty per cent of the shoemaking industry;
most of the musical purveying done in the country; jewelry;
grain; cotton; oil; steel; magazine authorship; news
distribution; the liquor business; the loan business;these,
to name only the industries with national and international
sweep, are in control of the Jews of the United States,
either alone or in association with Jews overseas.
The American people would be vastly surprised if they could
see a line-up of some of the "American business men' who
hold up our commercial prestige overseas. They are mostly
Jews. This may throw a sidelight on the regard in which
"American business methods" are held in Some parts of the
world. When many different races of people can carry on
business under the name "American," and do it legally, too,
it is not surprising that Americans do not recognize some of
the descriptions of American methods which appear in the
foreign Press. If the reputation of American business has
suffered, it is because something ether than American
methods have been used under the American name.
Instances of Jewish prosperity in the United States are
commonplace, but prosperity, the just reward of foresight
and application, is not to be confounded with control. It
would be impossible for any Gentile coalition under similar
circumstances to attain the control which the Jews have won,
for the reason that there is lacking in the Gentile a
certain quality of working-togetherness, a certain
conspiracy of objective, and the adhesiveness of intense
raciality, which characterizes the Jew. It is nothing to a
Gentile that another man is a Gentile; it is next to
everything to a Jew that the man at his door is another Jew.
The International Jewish plan to move their money market to
the United States was what the American people did rot want.
We have the warning of history as to what this means. It has
meant in turn that Spain, Venice, Germany or Great Britain
received the blame or suspicion of the world for what the
Jewish financiers have done. It is a most important
consideration that most of the national animosities that
exist today arose out of resentment against what Jewish
money power did under the camouflage of national names.
"The British did this," "The Germans did this," when it was
the International Jew who did it, the nations being but the
marked spaces on his checker board. Today, around the world
the blaming word is heard, "The United States did this. If
it were not for the United States the world would be in a
better shape. The Americans are a sordid, greedy, cruel
people."
Why? Because the Jewish money power is centered here and is
making money out of both our immunity and Europe's distress,
playing one against the other; and because so many so-called
"American business men" abroad today are not Americans at
all -- they are Jews.
Citizens wake up with a start to find that even the white
nations are hardly allowed to see each other nowadays except
through Jewish eyes. Great Britain and France seldom see a
special American spokesman who is not a Jew. That may be the
reason why they reciprocate by sending Jews to us, thinking
perhaps that we prefer them.
 The
Sixth Protocol –
"We will force up wages, which
however will be of no benefit to workers, for we at the same
time will cause a rise in the prices of prime necessities,
pretending that this is due to decline of agriculture and of
cattle raising. We will also artfully and deeply undermine
the sources of production by instilling in the workmen ideas
of anarchy and encourage them in the use of alcohol, at the
same time taking measures to drive all the intellectual
forces of the Gentiles from the land."
