Zionists complain that Jews continue to be associated with a conspiracy to rule the world via political lobbies, media and money. Is the suggestion of conspiracy really an empty accusation? The following list is presented with pride in several Jewish American websites. [There follows a list of Jewish members of the Bush administration.]

Let me assure you, in Clinton's administration the situation was even worse. Even though the Jews only make up 2.9 per cent of the country's population, an astounding 56 per cent of Clinton's appointees were Jews. A coincidence? I don't think so.

We have to ask ourselves what motivates American Jews to gain such political power. Is it a genuine care for American interests? Soon, following the growing number of American casualties in Iraq, American people will start to ask themselves this very question.

Since America currently enjoys the status of the world's only super power and since all the Jews listed above declare themselves as devoted Zionists, we must begin to take the accusation that the Jewish people are trying to control the world very seriously. It is beyond doubt that Zionists, the most radical, racist and nationalistic Jews around, have already managed to turn America into an Israeli mission force. The world's number one super power is there to support the Jewish state's wealth and security matters. The one-sided pro-Zionist take on the IsraeliÂPalestinian conflict, the American veto against every 'anti-Israeli' UN resolution, the war against Iraq and now the militant intentions against Syria, all prove beyond doubt that it is Zionist interests that America is serving. American Jewry makes any debate on whether the 'Protocols of the elder of Zion' are an authentic document or rather a forgery irrelevant. American Jews do try to control the world, by proxy. So far they are doing pretty well for themselves at least. Whether the Americans enjoy the deterioration of their state's affairs will no doubt be revealed soon.

I am thick of skin and firm of constitution, but I find myself almost physically sickened by sentiments like these. According to this man, there is a Jewish conspiracy to control the world that accords with the notorious forgery The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. And to him, the authenticity of the Protocols is a matter of "debate"!

Comments

In his book Third World Ideology and Western Reality Carlos Rangel discusses in some detail the affinities between fascism and Bolshevism. One of the most striking examples is cited on p. 15 of that work:

"As for Lenin, he addressed a delegation of Italian socialists visiting Moscow after the fascist march on Rome (1922), saying, 'What a waste that we lost Mussolini. He is a first-rate man who would have led our party to power in Italy.'"

It is entirely appropiate for Oliver to label Lenin's modern day followers in SWP the fascist Left, for that is exactly what they are. -- Michael Pugliese
