In the wake of the Black Book on Communism, I thought it would not hurt to send a booster shot into cyberspace and let me readers know what others have said about the Jewish participation in what later came to be known as the Evil Empire.
* "...(T)here is much in the fact of Bolshevism itself. In the fact that so many Jews are Bolsheviks. In the fact that the ideals of Bolshevism are consonant with the finest ideals of Judaism." (The Jewish Chronicle, April 4, 1918)
* "National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-Semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism...under USSR law active anti-Semites are liable to the death penalty. (Stalin, Collected Works, vol. 13, p. 30)
* "In the Bolshevik era, 52 percent of the membership of the Soviet communist party was Jewish, though Jews comprised only 1.8 percent of the total population. (Stuart Kahan, The Wolf of the Kremlin, p. 81)
* "Soviet Russia is a dictatorship of Jewry." (Arno Mayer, Jewish Professor at Princeton and author of "Why Did the Heavens Not Darken?")
* "Why then has it (Winter in Moscow) never been republished? The answer may lie in Muggeridge's handling of what was then called the "Jewish Question." ... Winter in Moscow is acutely concerned with Jews...It was of course the case that a very disproportionate number of the early Bolsheviks were Jews and thus of commissars and apparatchiki." (Sunday Telegraph, London, England, November 18, 1990)
* "There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution. Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistic Jews." (Winston Churchill, Illustrated Sunday Herald, Feb. 8, 1920)
* "The average Pole could not but notice in the Stalinist era that the two most powerful men in the country - Berman and Minc - were both Jewish as was the dreaded security official Rozanski." (Piotr W. Wandycz, Yale University, New York Review of Books, Aug. 18, 1983, p. 51)
* "The forces of reaction are being mobilized. A combination of England, France and Russia will sooner or later bar the triumphal march of the crazed Führer. Either by accident or design, a Jew has come into the position of the foremost importance in each of these nations. In the hands of non-Aryans lie the very lives of millions...and when the smoke of battle clears, and the trumpets blare no more, and the bullets cease to blast. Then will be presented a tableau showing the man who played God, the swastika Christus, being lowered none too gently into a hole in the ground, as a trio of non-Aryans intone a ramified requiem that sounds suspiciously like a medley of Marseillaise, God Save the King, and the International, blending in the grand finale, into a militant, proud arrangement of Elie! Elie! (Comment: This is the traditional Jewish cry of triumph) (The American Hebrew, New York City, June 3, 1938)
=====
So far the quotes. So how did this "grand finale...militant proud arrangement of Elie! Elie! play out?
Consider what happened once "the man who played God" was no more:
"We shot prisoners in cold blood, wiped out hospitals, lifeboats, killed or mistreated enemy civilians, finished off enemy wounded, tossed the dying into a hole with the dead, and in the Pacific boiled the flesh of enemy skulls to make table ornaments for sweethearts, or carved their bones into letter openers. We topped off our saturation bombing and burning of enemy civilians by dropping atomic bombs on two nearly defenseless cities, thereby setting an all time record for instantaneous mass slaughter.
"As victors we are privileged to try our defeated opponents for their crimes against humanity; but we should be realistic enough to appreciate that if we were on trial for breaking international laws, we should be found guilty on a dozen counts. We fought a dishonorable war, because morality has a low priority in battle. (...)
"I have asked fighting men for instance, why they - or actual we - regulated flame-throwers in such a way that enemy soldiers were set afire, to die slowly and painfully, rather than be killed outright by a full blast of burning oil. Was it because they hated the enemy so thoroughly? The answer was invariably, 'No, we don't hate those poor bastards particularly; we just hate the whole goddamn mess and have to take it out on somebody'.
"Possibly for the same reason we mutilated the bodies of the enemy dead, cutting off their ears and kicking out their gold teeth for souvenirs, and buried them with their testicles in their mouths, but such flagrant violations of all moral codes reach into still unexplored realms of battle psychology."
(- Edgar L. Jones, US Second World War veteran. Atlantic Monthly, February 1946)
