America’s “New
Elite”
A Candid & Sympathetic Overview
of That Most Difficult Topic
.
. .On August 29, 1897 the First Zionist Congress
meeting in Basel, Switzerland approved a resolution which declared
simply:
.
. .The aim of Zionism is to create for the Jewish people
a home in Palestine . . .
.
. .Much of the world looked with favor upon the theory behind
this resolution, even including (perhaps most especially) anti-Jewish
elements in Europe and elsewhere who saw the removal of Jewish people
from the confines of their respective national borders as a solution
to that age-old problem often gently referred to in literature as
“The Jewish Question.” It has long been forgotten —
even suppressed — that among the most vocal proponents of
the founding of a Jewish state were indeed those who had come to
be known as “anti-Semites.”
. . .Ultimately, in 1948, a new Zionist
state known as “Israel” did come into being in Palestine,
but — as we today know all too well — the circumstances
surrounding the birth of that nation brought generations of tragedy
and conflict to the region, problems which today, as this is written,
have literally placed the entire world on the brink of nuclear conflagration.
. . .Yet, despite the founding of the
Zionist state, American Zionists cling heartily to America, rather
than re-locating to the State of Israel and fulfilling the Zionist
dream. In fact — as the record shows, and that is the topic
of this volume — America has effectively emerged as The New
Jerusalem, the center of Zionist wealth and power. The State of
Israel is but a distraction, a tiny geographic entity that may or
may not survive. As such, we now see a new focus in the Zionist
outlook. Zionism, in short, rules America and America under the
Zionist thumb (or so it now seems) seeks to rule the world.
. . .Obviously, when addressing a “controversial”
thesis such as this, it is appropriate to cite what are deemed “respectable”
and “responsible” sources. As such, when tackling the
most uncomfortable topic of Zionist power in America and its consequences,
it seems most fitting to go right to the source: one of the most
respected newspapers in Israel.

. .On August 20, 2004, Israel’s Ha’aretz
published a remarkable commentary by Avi Beker entitled “The
Golden Age of U.S. Jewry.” Beker reflected on the then-forthcoming
September celebration — very much noted — of the 350th
anniversary of the founding of the Jewish community in America.
The Israeli newspaper noted that historian Paul Johnson, described
as “being known for his sympathy for Israel,” had suggested
that “the story of the expansion and strengthening of American
Jewry in the 20th century is no less important than the establishment
of the State of Israel, and even more so.”
. . .Although, the establishment of
Israel gave the Jewish people a sovereign homeland, Ha’aretz
says that Johnson sees America as having a special place in the
lore of Jewish history: “American Jewry,” says the Israeli
newspaper, “has attained an unprecedented status in the power
it has acquired for itself to shape the policy of the No. 1 world
power.”
. . .Ha’aretz
writes: “There is no precedent for such profound integration
into all areas of life, and to political and political influence
as great as that of American Jews. . . . It is now clear that the
350 years of Jewish exile in America mark a golden age never before
experienced in Jewish history.”1
. . .So there it is . . . from the
pages of one of the most influential newspapers of Israel. This
is not the “ranting” of a “crazed anti-Semite.”
This is a Jewish newspaper, published in Israel, hailing the ascendancy
of the Jewish community in America.
. . .What then precisely does this
extraordinary Jewish influence constitute? How much power does the
Jewish community hold in American life? Do — as some say —
“the Jews control America”? In this volume we will present
a wide variety of material — largely from Jewish sources —
which will provide the reader the information to judge for himself.
. . .In 1937, muckraker Ferdinand Lundberg
created a stir with a book entitled America’s
Sixty Families. His book was the first comprehensive
look at the rising accumulation of vast wealth and influence by
a small group of Americans — many of them intermarried families
or otherwise connected through business relationships — who
had come to dominate the American republic.
. . .Lundberg opened that volume by
making an assertion that — while quite true — opened
the eyes of the American reading public to a reality that perhaps
few had recognized:
THE
NEW JERUSALEM
. . . . . . . . . ... . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

.
. .The United States is owned and dominated today by a
hierarchy of its sixty richest families, buttressed by no more
than ninety families of lesser wealth.
. . .Outside this plutocratic circle
there are perhaps three hundred and fifty other families, less
defined in development and in wealth, but accounting for most
of the incomes of $100,000 or more that do not accrue to members
of the inner circle.
. . .These families are the living
center of the modern industrial oligarchy which dominates the
United States, functioning discreetly under a de jure
democratic form of government behind which a de facto
government, absolutist and plutocratic in its lineaments, has
gradually taken form since the Civil War.
. . .This de facto
government is actually the government of the United States —
informal, invisible, shadowy. It is the government of money in
a dollar democracy.
. . .Under their acquisitive fingers,
and in their possession, the sixty families hold the richest nation
ever fashioned in the workshop of history . . .
. . .The outstanding American proprietors
of today tower historically over the proud aristocracy that surrounded
Louis XIV, Czar Nicholas, Kaiser Wilhelm, and the Emperor Franz
Joseph, and wield vastly greater power.2
.
. .At the time Lundberg was writing, there was a solid core
of substantial Jewish wealth among the “Sixty Families”
listed. Among the 60 families that Lundberg ranked by wealth, the
Guggenheims of smelting and copper fame were listed as 13th, following
closely by the following banking families: the Lehmans at 18th,
the Warburgs at 26th, Mortimer Schiff at 44th, George Blumenthal
of Lazard Freres at 48th, department store tycoon Michael Friedsam
came in at 50th followed by Sears & Roebuck’s Julius Rosenwald
at 58th. Banker and war profiteer and behind-the-scenes political
“fixer” Bernard M. Baruch came in at 59th place, just
making a spot in “America’s Sixty Families” as
dubbed by Lundberg.3
. . .Times did change, however, and
Jewish wealth and influence was on the ascendancy, but remained
largely a topic that was very much unspoken, then as today.
. . .Lundberg’s book, today,
remains a valuable research work for students of American history.
But be warned: Lundberg was quite naturally,
20

and
we can understand why, rather inclined to down play the significant
role that Jewish interests were playing within the American plutocracy
and its domination of the United States political, economic, and
social affairs. Yet, his work was a landmark contribution, whatever
its demerits.
. . .In 1968 Lundberg came back with
a sequel to America’s Sixty Families.
This new volume, The Rich and the Super-Rich,
was an overview of the current state of affairs in the secret world
of the superrich. In The Rich and the Super-Rich,
Lundberg made the rather interesting assessment of the situation:
. . .Most Americans
— citizens of the wealthiest, most powerful and most ideal-swathed
country in the world — by a very wide margin own nothing
more than their household goods, a few glittering gadgets such
as automobiles and television sets (usually purchased on the installment
plan, many at second hand) and the clothes on their backs. A horde
if not a majority of Americans live in shacks, cabins, hovels,
shanties, hand-me-down Victorian eyesores, rickety tenements and
flaky apartment buildings. . . . At the same time, a relative
handful of Americans are extravagantly endowed, like princes in
the Arabian Nights tales.4
.
. .Although Lundberg was quite right in his overall assessment,
he fell down on one key point: Today’s elite: Princes they
are — but not Arabian.
. . .The American media talks about
the wealth of the Arab sheiks and of the oil riches of the Middle
East, but the accumulated wealth of the American Jewish community
— and the political influence that comes with it in every
major city (and certainly in small cities and towns across America)
dwarfs that of those Arabian princes.
. . .America’s “New Elite”
today are unquestionably the wealthy and powerful Jewish families
who — unlike the Rockefellers, the Morgans, the Roosevelts,
the Kennedys, the Vanderbilts and the other “princes”
of previous eras — have a considerably lower public profile
than the Gentile elite of the past.
. . .While it is — to a certain
extent—freely admitted that there is a powerful “Israeli
lobby” in official Washington, sometimes even referred to
by less cautious persons as the “Jewish lobby,” the
public image of this lobby is one devoted exclusively to the interests
of the state of Israel.

. . .Jewish newspapers freely discuss
the issue of the influence of the Jewish community and its impact
on U.S. foreign policy, but even so-called mainstream” newspapers
and magazines themselves occasionally delve into the subject.
. . .“Yes,” they say, “the
Israeli lobby is powerful, but it’s just another lobby like
the gun lobby or the American Association of Retired Persons. American
Jews have as much right to lobby on behalf of Israel as Greek-Americans
and Arab-Americans have the right to lobby for causes around which
their own communities rally.” Numerous books have been written
about the power of the Israeli lobby, and for anyone to deny the
clout of that lobby is political correctness run amuck.
. . .What few Americans are aware of,
however — something the Jewish community would prefer to be
kept under wraps — is the growing financial, cultural and
social clout of the American Jewish community. While there are certainly
many poor Jews, the truth is that American Jews are emerging —
if they haven’t won the title already — as contenders
for the title of “the American elite,” bar none. They
are “America’s New Elite.”
. . .American Jews are indeed the modern-day
equivalents of the princes in the tales of the Arabian Nights. And
while the Jewish “princes” (and “princesses”)
may not constitute a majority, per se, of the billionaires or the
super-rich on the famous “Forbes 400,” their combined
wealth certainly rivals (or even, most likely, surpasses) that of
the non-Jewish elite.
. . .In fact, if anything, the Jewish
elites are bound by their devotion to Jewish interests, as the sources
cited in these pages will often confirm.
. . .It is difficult to gauge wealth
or “influence” (whatever either constitutes) but the
facts assembled in these pages demonstrates, beyond any question,
that the American Jewish elite — America’s New Elite
— have wealth and influence far beyond their numbers in many,
many ways.
. . .Recognition of Jewish power —
or dare we say “rejection” of Jewish power — is
a bipartisan affair. A host of well-known American elected officials
and other policy makers have been heard to make candid comments
about Jewish power:
. . . President
George Bush’s Secretary of State James Baker was reported
as saying to a colleague in a confidential discussion, “Fuck
the Jews. They don’t vote for us anyway.” The words
were
22
............ .. . . . . . . . . .
.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .MICHAEL
COLLINS PIPER _________________________________________________________
blazoned as a
headline in an Israeli newspaper which, not surprisingly, portrayed
him as an anti-Semite. But Baker was unwittingly echoing others.
During the AWACS debate Gerald Ford
was enlisted by the Reagan White House. In a telephone conversation
with one Republican senator who had been tracked down (at dinner
with Jewish leaders, though Ford did not know this),
the former president asked, “Are we going to let the fucking
Jews run American foreign policy?” And Ford in turn echoed
President Carter, who had told some of his closest colleagues
in the spring of 1980, “If I get back in, I’m going
to fuck the Jews.”5
.
. .In light of Carter’s remark, it is no surprise to
learn that William Rubenstein, a right-wing pro-Zionist sociologist,
has reported that “a very well-placed source” told him
that “75 percent” of “the leaders of America’s
Zionist organizations . . . supported Reagan over Carter.”6
. . .In that vein, considering the
fact that liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans alike have
occasionally found common ground in raising questions about Jewish
power, we might also recall the comment by the famed writer H. G.
Wells, who remarked: “There is room for some very serious
research into the question why anti-Semitism emerges in every country
the Jews reside in.”7
. . .In the meantime, the major media
in America, which is, as we shall see — according to Jewish
sources — largely Jewish dominated, has focused on “Asian
money” in American elections. It’s become a genuine
“scandal” and exciting grist for the media mill. Age-old
anti-Asian stereotypes of the type that were popular during the
U.S. war against Japan are once again freely coming into play.
. . .Despite this, self-styled “anti-hate”
groups such as the Anti- Defamation League (ADL) have had little
to say about it. Perhaps that’s precisely because the ADL
likes the focus on the “Asian money.”
. . .And there’s a reason for
this: Asian-Americans (both native and naturalized) are quietly
saying (but the media isn’t reporting it) that the real “foreign
money” scandal involves not Asian money, but the heavy-handed
influence of money from the Israel-obsessed American Jewish community
and American Jews living in Israel (not to mention Israelis themselves)
who want to impact U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.

Philip Weiss —
who loudly and proudly proclaims his Jewish heritage — pointed
out that discussion of the role of Jewish money in politics is perceived
to be politically incorrect. Weiss put it bluntly: “When the
NRA exercises political power, it’s a hot-button issue. When
Jewish money plays a part, discussing it is anti-Semitic.”8
. . .There’s no question about
it: This is real political clout. Jewish money and Jewish power
is a very real influence in American life.
. . .But as we shall see, Jewish influence
in America goes far beyond what people generally refer to as “the
Israeli lobby” or “the Jewish lobby” (in discussing
the impact Jewish money and lobbying has on U.S. foreign policy
making). Jewish influence is much, much bigger than that —
and it is the most explosive political secret in American political
and cultural affairs today.
. . .The possible consequences of this
immense Jewish power in America were faced head on by Jewish historian
Benjamin Ginsberg in his remarkable book, The Fatal
Embrace: Jews and the State, in which book Ginsberg
addresses the question:
. . .“Why is it that during so
many different times and in so many different places, Jews have
achieved enormous status, wealth, and power only to be cast down,
driven out — or worse?”9
. . .Ginsberg says that his own research
convinced him that famed Jewish philosopher and writer Hannah Arendt
was correct in her assertion that the historic and repeated rise
and fall of the Jewish people could best be understood by viewing
the traditional relationship between Jews and the nation-states
in which they lived. According to Ginsberg:
.
. .Jews frequently sought the protection of the state.
For their own purposes, rulers often were happy to accommodate
the Jews in exchange for the services that the latter could provide.
. . .Much followed from the relationship
between Jews and states, and, as an outgrowth, some of the most
important states in the modern world were built or strengthened.
. . .As a result of this relationship,
moreover, Jews sometimes achieved great power. Their relationship
with the state, however, also exposed Jews to new hatred and antagonisms.
For the Jews, under some circumstances, the embrace of the state
proved to be
24 ............
.. . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . .MICHAEL
COLLINS PIPER _________________________________________________________
fatal. These considerations
are not simply of historical interest. They are also central to
understanding the past — and potential future — of
Jews in America.10
.
. .Thus, the title of Ginsberg’s book and that to which
it refers: “the fatal embrace” of the state —
the nation and its mechanisms of political power — by the
Jews in the course of accumulating vast wealth.
. . .Ginsberg has summarized the quandary
that both American Jews and their non-Jewish fellow Americans find
themselves in as a consequence of the rising influence of Jewish
power in America. His words are profound indeed. Ginsberg writes:
.
. .Though Jews have learned to look, talk and dress like
other Americans, they are not fully assimilated either in their
own minds or in the eyes of their neighbors. . . . To make matters
worse, Jews often, secretly or not so secretly, conceive themselves
to be morally and intellectually superior to their neighbors.
. . . Indeed, Jews are extremely
successful outsiders who sometimes have the temerity to rub it
in.11
.
. .Considering this, it is appropriate to take a look at
the manner in which Ginsberg has summarized, for his own part, the
wide-ranging aspects of Jewish power in America. His overview gives
us a starting point upon which we can build and examine, in detail,
the specific nature of Jewish power in America. Ginsberg writes:
.
. .Since the 1960s, Jews have come to wield considerable
influence in American economic, cultural, intellectual, and political
life. Jews played a central role in American finance during the
1980s, and they were among the chief beneficiaries of that decade’s
corporate mergers and reorganizations.
. . .Today, though barely 2% of the
nation’s population is Jewish, close to half its billionaires
are Jews.
. . .The chief executive officers
of the three major television networks and the four largest film
studios are Jews, as are the owners of the nation’s largest
newspaper chain and most influential single newspaper, The
New York Times.
. . .In the late 1960s, Jews already
constituted 20% of the faculty of elite universities and 40% of
the professors of elite law
THE
NEW JERUSALEM
. . . . . . . . . ... . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . ..
25
_________________________________________________________
schools; today,
these percentages doubtless are higher.
. . .The role and influence of Jews
in American politics is equally marked. Jews are elected to public
office in disproportionate numbers.
. . .In 1993, ten members of the
United States Senate and thirty-two members of the House of Representatives
were Jewish, three to four times their percentage of the general
population.
. . .Jews are even more prominent
in political organizations and in finance. One recent study found
that in twenty-seven of thirty-six campaigns for the United States
Senate, one or both candidates relied upon a Jewish campaign chairman
or finance director.
. . .In the realm of lobbying and
litigation, Jews organized what was for many years one of Washington’s
most successful political action [organizations], the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and they play leadership
roles in such important public interest groups as the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Common Cause. Several Jews also
played very important roles in the 1992 Democratic presidential
campaign.
. . .After the Democrats’ victory,
President Clinton appointed a number of Jews to prominent positions
in his administration.
. . .Their role in American economic,
social and political institutions has enabled Jews to wield considerable
influence in the nation’s public life. The most obvious
indicator of this influence is the $3 billion in direct military
and economic aid provided to Israel by the United States each
year and, for that matter, the like amount given to Egypt since
it agreed to maintain peaceful relations with Israel.
. . .That fully three-fourths of
America’s foreign aid budget is devoted to Israel’s
security interests is a tribute in considerable measure to the
lobbying prowess of AIPAC and the importance of the Jewish community
in American politics. . . .
. . .As a general rule, what can
and cannot be said in public reflects the distribution of political
power in society. As Jews gained political power, politicians
who indulged in anti-Semitic tactics were labeled extremists and
exiled to the margins of American politics.
. . .Similarly, religious symbols
and forms of expression that Jews find threatening have been almost
completely eliminated from schools and other public institutions.
26 ............
.. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . .MICHAEL

.
. .Suits brought by the ACLU, an organization whose leadership
and membership are predominantly Jewish, secured federal court
decisions banning officially sanctioned prayers in the public
schools and crèches and other religious displays in parks
and public buildings.12
.
. .At this juncture — considering all that we have
learned thus far — it seems appropriate to discuss the very
real question: “Why does it matter how much economic, political,
and cultural clout that the Jewish people have accumulated in America?”
. . .The fact is that there will be
some — both “Country Club Republicans” who worship
at the altar of Mammon, along with self-styled “liberals”
who revel in “minority achievement,” for example —
who will read this slender volume and respond by saying, “Well,
this is a free country. It’s a tribute to the Jewish people
that, through their hard work and intellect, they have achieved
this success.”
. . .In some respects, that’s
a hard proposition to argue with. However, it bears pointing out
that accumulation of wealth and political power does not mean that
such a conglomeration gives any one ethnic group the right to dominate
a nation’s political system simply because it has the means
to do so. And the fact is that the Jewish elite in America now have
the means to do so — and they don’t hesitate to do it.
. . .A prime (and graphic) example
of how that power has been exercised is all too evident in America’s
ongoing and tragic debacle in Iraq.
. . .We are not here to say that “all
of the Jews in America” wanted the United States to invade
Iraq in the spring of 2002. Quite the contrary, some of the most
outspoken and eloquent critics of U.S. intervention in Iraq were
American Jews. But the fact remains that — on the whole —
the most influential and critically placed organizations and individuals
promoting the war in Iraq, through public relations efforts, media
spin and outright political pressure, were American Jews and American
Jewish organizations acting specifically on behalf of the interests
of Israel.
. . .This is a topic well beyond the
scope of this book, but it was addressed in some detail in this
author’s previous work, The High Priests of War.
Suffice it to say that when U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-Virginia) stated
frankly that, in his opinion, the American Jewish community was
THE

. . . . . . . . . ... . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . ..
27
_________________________________________________________
influential enough to
stop the drift toward war, he was absolutely correct, despite the
outraged media frenzy that came on the heels of his remarks.
. . .Beyond question, the subject of
Jewish economic power is not a matter limited to examination by
what we might loosely term “anti-Semites.” The truth
is that even the most cursory study of Jewish history focuses extensively
on Jewish wealth and influence. For example, the New York-based
Schocken Books, which publishes books of Jewish interest, featured
its 1975 release, Economic History of the Jews.
. . .In that extensive volume, the
editor, Nahum Gross, pointed out, quite frankly, that, for example,
“colonial trade in the early modern period and brokerage and
banking, especially investment banking, in recent times are highly
oligopolistic industries, and their history is indeed the story
of a rather small number of leading firms. The delineation of family
ties and alliances among them is therefore also strictly relevant;
and at least the Jewish historian will be curious to know who of
these leading entrepreneurs were Jews.”13
. . .So, therefore, it is not at all
inappropriate to examine which Jews and Jewish families and financial
interests were (or are) predominant in any given arena, charges
of “anti-Semitism” notwithstanding.
. . .And in regard to that accusation
of “anti-Semitism,” which often surrounds the examination
of Jewish wealth, it seems appropriate to refer to Jewish historian
Bernard Lazare’s classic study of that subject, and particularly
his inquiry into “anti-Semitism” stimulated by what
he calls “economic causes.” Lazare correctly points
out that because of a variety of factors influencing anti-Semitism
over many centuries, the Jews — precisely because of anti-Semitism
— were forced to bond together:
.
. .The Jew . . . increases his advantage by uniting with
his coreligionists possessed of similar virtues, and thus augments
his powers by acting in common with his brethren; the inevitable
result being that they out-distance their rivals in the pursuit
of any common end . . . The Jews stand united as one.
. . .This is the secret of their
success. Their solidarity is all the stronger in that it goes
so far back. Its very existence is denied, and yet it is undeniable.
The links in the chain have been forged in the course of ages
until the flight of centuries has made man unconscious of their
existence.14
28 ............
.. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .MICHAEL
COLLINS PIPER _________________________________________________________
. . .As
such, we perhaps do indeed have a better and more sympathetic understanding
of the origin of Jewish clannishness — call it “togetherness”
— that has enabled a relatively small group of people, under
siege, to develop, working together, a powerful economic class that
is bound by its religious and cultural heritage. Perhaps anti-Semitism
has indeed been a driving force behind that which has resulted in
the emergence in the United States (and worldwide) of a singularly
influential group of people.
. . .Undoubtedly, an examination of
what might be called “anti-Semitic” literature, does
indeed focus on Jewish economic might. American industrialist
Henry Ford’s now-infamous series The International
Jew comes to mind immediately. Ford’s work focused
on the tentacles of Jewish power in a wide ranging array of various
economic and cultural arenas and caused great consternation within
the Jewish community. But while Ford was damned for his efforts,
there were few attempts to actually refute the specific facts laid
forth in his work.
. . .More recent so-called “anti-Semitic”
works, such as Jewish Supremacism, by
controversial Louisiana political figure David Duke, have not so
much focused on Jewish power, per se, as upon Jewish ideology and
religious teachings. Duke’s book relied almost exclusively
on Jewish sources to outline the role that Jewish interests have
played in shaping modern-day world affairs from a geopolitical strategic
standpoint. He has pinpointed the preeminent Jewish role in the
Bolshevik movement in Russia as well as the fine hand of Jewish
influence behind social and cultural revolution in the United States
and the West, often to the denigration of traditional values and
understandings.
. . .What’s more, Duke has gone
so far as to expand his study by taking a close look at Jewish religious
teachings that have indeed bound the Jewish people more closely
and, at the same time, driven wedges between them and others. In
the end Duke sees the Jewish people as having sought what he calls
“Jewish Supremacism.” Although the Jewish people have
established a state of their own in Israel, Duke notes, they seem
determined to have their influence felt worldwide, feeling themselves
— and saying as much in their own writings — that they
are supreme.
. . .One cannot read Duke’s book
— which is carefully documented — without concluding
that this is indeed precisely the ideology behind the leadership
of the Jewish community in America (and worldwide) today.

. >.For whatever the cause, anti-Semitism has indeed played
a major role in shaping the mindset of the Jewish people. They have
been effectively forced into the position (or otherwise adopted
the status) of “outsider” and have chosen largely to
remain the outsider, despite their elite status in American society.
As the “outsider,” the Jewish people have an overview
of the “alien” society in which they function and from
this vantage point have been able to see opportunities that are
otherwise invisible to those who cannot, in the classic sense, “see
the forest for the trees.”
. . .All of this, over the centuries,
has permitted Jewish individuals — working within a Jewish
network — to be in the forefront of economic and political
revolution and, as a direct consequence, they have been able to
play a major part in influencing the course of society.
. . .Another factor which should be
kept in mind is that the Jews have generally been, almost invariably
(with few exceptions), an urban people, far removed from the land
and agriculture. In contrast, all European societies and peoples
are hardly more than one, two or three generations removed from
the farm and its rural ethic of construction and creation, of building
civilization out of the wilderness.
. . .This contrast in heritage has,
inevitably, led to a clash between the Jewish people and others,
precisely because, by virtue of their urban tendencies, the Jews
have become entrenched in the financial arena — money-lending,
usury, banking, call it what you will — and as such have become,
not unexpectedly, the arbiters of the rural future.
. . .The historic conflict between
agriculture and finance has always been a dynamic that has been
an underlying factor in anti-Semitism in whatever country: whether
it be Germany or the United States, where the populist movement
of the late 19th century featured anti-Semitic rhetoric quite prevalently.
. . .So, again, we see anti-Semitism
as a direct consequence of non- Jewish opposition to Jewish influence
which has, in itself, risen to new heights precisely because the
Jewish people have formed a unique “group dynamic” that
can hardly be found in such a thriving fashion in any other ethnic
formation on the face of the planet. Anti-Semitism, we might say,
has, in its own way, begot Jewish success and power, which, in turn,
has begot even more anti-Semitism, precisely because the Jews —
as a group — have established themselves in a position to
shape (even destroy)

non-Jews whose futures
literally lie in the hands of Jewish power-brokers.
. . .In this regard, we must address
the topic of “the Holocaust,” referring to the events
of World War II that have been continually and, without ending,
been memorialized in thousands of books, films, songs, poems, television
shows, and newspaper and magazine articles, in the half century
that followed the end of the world conflagration that resulted in
the deaths of countless millions — far many more millions
that the six million Jews we have been told were lost at the hands
of a genocidal Nazi regime.
. . .Although a dedicated and growing
“Holocaust Revisionist” movement has made great inroads
in raising serious questions about specific facts and details of
the events of that period known as “the Holocaust,”—
thanks in large part due to the efforts of Willis A. Carto and the
once-vibrant Institute for Historical Review (subsequently destroyed
from within by agents working for Jewish interests determined to
silence the institute) — most people remain convinced that
the Jews were the singular victims of what is virtually hailed as
“the greatest tragedy in history — bar none,”
precisely because it was a tragedy that was said to have targeted
“God’s Chosen People.” As such, there is a great
deal of residual sympathy for the Jewish people — but it is
beginning to diminish as more and more people, frankly, get “tired
of hearing about the Holocaust” and become aware of the current
efforts of historical Revisionist journals such as The
Barnes Review, which has not feared to address the
topic.
. . .The constant repetition —
almost cult-like — of Holocaust lore is emerging (and some
Jewish leaders have not been afraid to say so) as an almost integral
part of the Jewish “group think” and, as a direct result,
being incorporated, in many respects, into the Jewish religion itself.
. . .And that, alone, is another aspect
of the Jewish mind-set that makes the Jewish people unique. Although
dozens — perhaps hundreds — of other ethnic groups,
sects and peoples have been subjected to their own unique “holocausts”
throughout the course of history only the Jewish people have been
so devoted to memorializing their own disasters. At the same time,
the Jewish people (in organized fashion), have continued to use
“the Holocaust” (and other tragedies, real and imagined)
as a mechanism to place demands on the world as a whole. After all,
isn’t that why the state of Israel was established —
as a means of atoning for the Jewish losses during World War II?

. .Certainly, in the end, the cause-and-effect debate over
the question of anti-Semitism — or “The Jewish Problem”
as it has been known throughout history — has many angles
that are far beyond the purview of this volume. Some “anti-Semites”
may even contend that we have been far too sympathetic to the Jewish
people and not conscious enough of Jewish activities and attitudes
that have created the phenomenon of anti-Semitism. But that’s
a debate for another place and time.
. . .So, for our purposes here, suffice
it to say, the truth is that whatever the ultimate origin of Jewish
supremacy (at least in the economic, cultural and political spheres
of influence in the United States), it is a fact that cannot be
denied. The truth of Jewish supremacy in America is found in countless
volumes and much literature by Jewish writers who can hardly be
classed as “anti-Semites.”
. . .With this in mind, let us move
forward and examine what Jewish academics
and authorities say about Jewish power in America. By way of a preface,
however, we include the following material relevant to our study:
• An overview
of the now-infamous “Enron” scandal. While the media
gave great fanfare to this debacle, even the most cursory examination
of Enron demonstrates hidden aspects of Zionist power in America,
if only because the “Jewish connection” to Enron remains
one of the great secrets of our day;
• A study of the remarkable INSLAW affair — a scandal
which demonstrated the raw clout of the Zionist lobby in manipulating
the U.S. Justice Department and the federal court system.
• A profile of America’s “royal family”
— the Bronfmans, who are, beyond question, the most powerful
and well-established of the Jewish families who reign supreme
in America today. As early “colonial” satellites of
the long-established Rothschild empire of Europe, the Bronfmans
constitute the often ugly face of Zionist power in America.
• Next, we will explore equally sordid details surrounding
two major American media empires whose wide-ranging influence
personifies the vast reach of the Zionist elite who rule the Media
Monopoly.
• As an interesting interlude we will take a look at the
little-known story of Donald Trump, the flamboyant real estate
and casino tycoon. Although not Jewish, the record reflects that
Trump owes his fame and fortune to the patronage of some powerful
Zionist fortunes.

• Following
that is a wide-ranging overview of the names, faces and financial
interests of the well-known (and not-so-well-known) Jewish
families whose accumulation of wealth and power is staggering.
This is the first time EVER (outside a small magazine read only
in the highest circles) that these names have been published in
one place together — and a revealing summary it is indeed.
.
. .Wrapping it all up, we at last reach the core of this
volume, its very foundation — the cold, hard facts and figures
about the reality of Zionist power in America. The details presented
speak for themselves. It is not “anti-Semitic” or “anti-Jewish”
to bring forth these facts, particularly since the sources of the
information are (with perhaps one exception) exclusively Jewish.
And — with the possible exception of Lenni Brenner —
none of the quite respectable sources cited are what Zionist critics
have called “self-hating” Jews, a term which has been
recklessly applied to Jewish Americans who have dared to raise questions
about the misdeeds of Zionist Israel, as has Brenner.
. . .There will, of course, be many
people who will be most uncomfortable reading this volume, but that
is only because they have fallen victim to what has been called
“political correctness.”
. . .The truth is that Jewish newspapers
and magazines freely and openly discuss — even brag about
— Jewish power in America. Now is the opportunity for non-Jews
to see precisely what it is that these Jewish sources have been
bragging about.
. . .Are all of these material riches
— as Jewish philosophers contend — actually an affirmation
of God’s blessing upon the Jewish people?
. . .Have the Zionist elite —
as the evidence assembled in this volume suggests — emerged
as “Those Who Reign Supreme”? Have they finally established
America as The New Jerusalem?
. . .Is this good for America? Is it
good for the world? May non-Jewish people share in this wealth?
. . .Is there an alternative?
. . .The reader can—and will—make
the final judgment.
