"The greatest and most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American empire. By that is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of America forms a part. It has been the commercial Jews of the British-American empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations. This fact particularly applies to the cities of London and New York, the stronghold of Big Business. This fact is so manifest in America that there is a proverb concerning the city of New York which says: 'The Jews own it, the Irish Catholics rule it, and the Americans pay the bills.' We have no fight with any of these persons mentioned, but, as the witnesses for Jehovah and in obedience to his commandment set forth in the Scriptures, we are compelled to call attention to the truth concerning the same in order that the people may be enlightened concerning God and his purpose.
What does dating or sourcing this quote have to do with what we are trying to accomplish?
It was something I came across in some holocaust related research and it caught my eye. It seems that people have known a lot for along time. and it suggests something about the reasons America chooses the sides in foreign conflicts. We cant hide from the facts: Hitler ran on a socialist platform. He killed Jews. Many prominent financiers are Jews. Redistribution of wealth would mean taking from Jews. I understand this is obscenely simplified but that is all many people can handle. how do you fight the charge of antisemitism?
I have no clue. The stuff about the empire, NY and the City of London is completely accurate, though. I'll take a wild guess and put at early turn of the 20th century.
Hitler. Thanks for posting.
"witnesses for Jehovah" so is it JW material?
