Karl Radl & Deanna Spingola Henry Ford & The International Jew (2012)

The Jew in Character and Business
The Jew is again being singled out for critical attention throughout the world. His emergence in
the financial, political and social spheres has been so complete and spectacular since the war, that his
place, power and purpose in the world are being given a new scrutiny, much of it unfriendly. Persecution
is not a new experience to the Jew, but intensive scrutiny of his nature and super-nationality is. He has
suffered for more than 2,000 years from what may be called instinctive anti-Semitism of the other races,
but this antagonism has never been intelligent nor has it been able to make itself intelligible. Nowadays,
however, the Jew is being placed, as it were, under the microscope of economic observation that the
reasons for his power, the reasons for his separateness, the reasons for his suffering may be defined and
understood.
In Russia he is charged with being the source of Bolshevism, an accusation which is serious or not
according to the circle in which it is made; we in America, hearing the fervid eloquence and perceiving
the prophetic ardor of young Jewish apostles of social and industrial reform, can calmly estimate how it
may be. In Germany he is charged with being the cause of the Empire's collapse and a very considerable
literature has sprung up, bearing with it a mass of circumstantial evidence that gives the thinker pause. In
England he is charged with being the real world ruler, who rules as a super-nation over the nations, rules
by the power of gold, and who plays nation against nation for his own purposes, remaining himself
discreetly in the background. In America it is pointed out to what extent the elder Jews of wealth and the
younger Jews of ambition swarmed through the war organizations -- principally those departments which
dealt with the commercial and industrial business of war, and also the extent to which they have clung to
the advantage which their experience as agents of the government gave them.
In simple words, the question of the Jews has come to the fore, but like other questions which
lend themselves to prejudice, efforts will be made to hush it up as impolitic for open discussion. If,
however, experience has taught us anything it is that questions thus suppressed will sooner or later break
out in undesirable and unprofitable forms.
