More on Reparations
by Dr. William Pierce


A subject we've discussed often enough on these broadcasts for many of
you to be tired of hearing about it is the continuing -- make that the
escalating -- Jewish effort to extort reparations from the rest of the
world for claimed injuries done to Jews of past generations by Gentiles
of past generations. I would drop the subject, except that every week
Jewish leaders make new demands which surpass all previous bounds for
greed and arrogance. You wouldn't believe the arrogance and pushiness of
these Jews when they smell gold -- except that it's all documented, all
in your daily newspaper for you to read. Therefore, this Great Jewish
Gold-Hunt makes a wonderful educational tool for helping others to
understand the nature of the Jews, and I cannot resist using it.

You remember, this current gold-hunt began early last year, when Jewish
leaders came up with the idea of expanding their claim for reparations
from the 1930s and 1940s to include countries besides Germany. They
already had bled Germany for $60 billion since 1948, most of which went
to Israel. That averages out to about $60,000 for every Jewish family of
four now in Israel. Getting that money from Germany was relatively easy,
because the Allied governments had an occupation army in Germany that
was ready to squeeze the Germans whenever the Jews gave the word. All
they had to do to keep the Germans from complaining about these massive
extortion payments was step up their whining about gas chambers and the
soap and lampshades supposedly manufactured from the corpses of gassed
Jews. And when they really want to shut up the doubters and the
questioners, they have Steven Spielberg or some other Jewish producer
crank out a new Hollywood dramatization of the so-called "Holocaust,"
which would have the effect of making anyone so "insensitive" as to
think of denying the poor, persecuted Jews anything they demanded seem
like a real heel to the public.

A few years ago they added a new twist to their racket by implying that
it was not just the Germans who owed them reparations for having run
Aunt Sarah and Uncle Abe through a crematorium at Auschwitz: everybody
owed them for permitting the wicked Germans to "Holocaust" Sarah and
Abe. The United States and the other Western countries who fought
against Germany during the Second World War could have stopped the
"Holocaust" or at least minimized it if they really had wanted to, the
Jews complained. The Allies could have bombed the rail lines leading to
the German concentration camps, but they didn't, the Jews complained.
The Allies could have taken in many Jewish refugees fleeing from Germany
before the war, but they didn't: they turned the refugee ships back, and
the Jews aboard them consequently perished in the "Holocaust," the Jews
complained. "You could haff saved millions of us if you really had
vanted to, but you didn't vant to. It vass your anti-Semitism which made
you insensitive to our needs back in the 1930s and 1940s. So now you owe
us."

After a good, long whine along this line intended to soften up and
"sensitize" the Gentile world, the Jews became much more specific in
their complaints at the beginning of last year. Conveniently, they
waited until after a law outlawing racist and anti-Semantic statements
was passed in Switzerland. This made the Swiss not only worry that they
were being "insensitive" by opposing Jewish demands, they also wondered
if they could get into legal trouble. With this anti-dissent law in
place Jewish pressure groups claimed that many Jews stashed their money
in secret, numbered Swiss bank accounts during the 1930s and early 1940s
in anticipation of difficulties with the German authorities. Then these
Jews were "holocausted" and their money remains in secret accounts. They
claimed the Swiss had not done all they could to try to locate heirs of
the depositors. They =owed= all of that money in dormant accounts to the
Jews -- =plus interest.=

The head of the World Jewish Congress, Edgar Bronfman, who belongs to
the family that owns the world's biggest company, Seagram, took charge
of the effort to force the Swiss to pay up. Bronfman estimated that the
amount owed to the Jews by the Swiss as $7 billion. Later the Jews
expanded their claims to include insurance policies held by Jews who
disappeared during the war. If you check your life insurance policy you
will probably find that death in war is excluded from coverage. But it
would, of course, be inhumane to apply this common exclusion to
"holocausted" Jews. The Jews also claim that some of the gold used by
the Germans to pay the Swiss for various commodities imported by Germany
during the war at one time had belonged to Jews. The Swiss should have
known, the Jews say, that some of that gold came from confiscated Jewish
assets. "Giff it back to us," the Jews now demand, ="plus interest."=

Well, of course, every large bank does have some dormant accounts, and
in the case of Swiss banks, who always have taken pride in the
confidentiality they offer to their customers, it is understandable that
today Izzy and Rebecca may not have been able to get their hands on or
even find the money that they believe Uncle Abe probably stashed in a
secret account 60 years ago. The Swiss bankers pointed out that they
always have treated their Jewish customers just like everyone else, and
that any heirs who establish their claims with the normal documentation
would receive whatever was in Abe's account. The Jews feigned outrage at
this response and accused the Swiss of being "insensitive" for failing
to take into account the fact that there were no death certificates or
other documents for many of the Jews who disappeared during the war.
Never mind that non-Jews also had problems with documentation being
lacking or with documentation having been destroyed during the war. For
non-Jews these problems are a misfortune, for Jews they are an OUTRAGE
and the world owes them.

Well, a few Swiss officials recognized these Jewish claims for the
shameless extortion effort that they are and publicly denounced them as
such. Most Swiss politicians and bankers, however, were more concerned
with not jeopardizing their public image by having the Jews unleash
their media weapon, and so they took a conciliatory approach to the
Jews. They made a special search of their accounts and then took the
unprecedented step of publishing the names of all their depositors whose
accounts had been dormant since the Second World War, so that Jews could
more easily file claims. As it turned out, only a very tiny percentage
of these dormant accounts belonged to Jews. Needless to say, the media
didn't dwell on this fact and the Jews continued to howl about how the
Swiss had wronged them. They added to their list of grievances the fact
that the Swiss had interned many Jews who came across the Swiss border
during the war in an effort to avoid being arrested by the Germans. The
Swiss put them into work camps for the duration of the war. Never mind
that =all= able-bodied people in Switzerland were forced to work during
the war, when this happens to a Jew it is an OUTRAGE. You might think
that the Jews would be grateful to the Swiss for possibly saving their
lives, but if you thought that then you won't understand the Jewish
mentality. Instead of being grateful to the Swiss for saving them from
the Germans the Jews publicly lamented the fact that the Swiss made them
=work= for their room and board. Now they want the Swiss to pay them for
their work -- =plus interest.=

The Swiss are a bit naive when it comes to dealing with Jews, and so
they have continued to try to appease them, even as the Jewish demands
have escalated. The Swiss bankers and politicians got together recently
and calculated that the =most= the Jewish assets that they might be
holding could be worth is in the neighborhood of $150 million.  They
then multiplied that figure by =four,= and two weeks ago offered to pay
the Jews $600 million to settle all of their claims.

Now, if you understand the Jewish mentality, then you don't have to be
told how Bronfman and the other Jewish leaders responded to this offer.
The Jews simply escalated their demands again. They feigned shock and
OUTRAGE that the Swiss offered them =only= $600 million. Liquor czar and
World Jewish Congress boss Edgar Bronfman scoffed at the $600 million
offer and said that the Swiss owe his people =billions= of dollars, not
millions. Israeli spokesman Yoram Dori called the Swiss offer
"offensive" and said: "If we were not dealing with such a tragic story,
this would be laughable." Bronfman's colleague in the World Jewish
Congress, Israel Singer, said he was "pained" by the Swiss offer. He
also claimed that the offer had been made in a "shabby" manner. Rabbi
Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles said of the
Swiss offer: "We consider it a lack of seriousness on their part." He
added that the offer "will be unanimously refused." New York Jewish
lawyer Edward Fagan, who is representing more than 30,000 Jews claiming
to be heirs to dormant accounts, called the Swiss offer "insulting" and
said, "My 31,000 clients will not =stand= for this. . . . A billion
dollars is not enough."

Behind all of this pretended outrage and these claims of feeling
insulted by the Swiss offer of $600 million is a lot of very
cold-blooded calculation by the Jews. They simply believe that by using
their media power and their virtually total control of the Clinton
administration, the U.S. Congress, and several state legislatures they
can squeeze substantially more than $600 million out of the Swiss. The
Jews' number-one step'n'fetchit in the Congress is New York Republican
Senator Alphonse D'Amato, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. He
is running for re-election in November and is counting heavily on Jewish
support. After the Jews let their displeasure with the latest Swiss
offer be known, D'Amato threatened to use the Senate Banking Committee
for reprisals against Swiss banks operating in the United States. He
said, "If they continue to proceed in this manner, whereby they are
ducking their responsibilities, we have no other course in the Congress
of the United States than to go forward."

New Jersey state Assemblyman Joel Weingarten has introduced legislation
to bar New Jersey from investing state funds in Swiss banks, and similar
measures are moving forward in New York City and in the New York state
legislature.

So confident are the Jews that ultimately they can pressure the Swiss
into yielding to their demands that World Jewish Congress boss Edgar
Bronfman already is talking publicly about other countries on the Jews'
hit list. "It's not just the Swiss banks," he said in a published
telephone interview with the New York Jewish newspaper _Forward_. "We
still have problems with the Poles, with the French, the Dutch, the
Belgians, the other neutrals." It's pretty clear that after the Jews
have sucked the Swiss dry they will be looking for blood from a long
line of other countries they believe haven't done enough for them
recently.

A new line of attack which the Jews are using is that the European
countries which claimed neutrality during the Second World War and
refused to join the Jewish-American-Soviet crusade against Germany
weren't really neutral: they provided aid to the Germans, and so now
they =owe= reparations to the Jews. A Jewish official in the Clinton
administration, Stuart Eizenstat, has been especially active in pushing
this line. He has prepared a report for the U.S. State Department in
which he strongly criticizes Sweden, Spain, and other neutral countries.
Eizenstat concludes: "It is clear that these countries were committing
unneutral acts, even by the standards of the times." Never mind that the
neutral countries dealt with and helped the Allies too. 

The arrogance of Eizenstat's complaint is esspecially breathtaking,
considering the fact that under Jewish pressure the Roosevelt
administration, in 1939, 1940, and 1941, at a time when the United
States was officially "neutral," was committing unneutral acts against
Germany which dwarfed into insignificance anything the Swedes and the
Spaniards might have been doing to help Germany. Not only was the
Roosevelt government supplying first Britain and later the Soviet Union
as well with vast supplies of war materiel, but Roosevelt was trying
everything he could to provoke the Germans into some action that would
give him an excuse to enter the war on the Jewish side. In September
1941, three months before the official entry of the United States into
the war, he went so far as to order the U.S. Navy to shoot on sight at
any German naval vessel encountered in the Atlantic.

Unfortunately, the historical facts of the behavior of all the parties
involved in the Second World War are not presented to the American
public by the mass media, but just the facts the Jews want the public to
know about. The average citizen listens to the complaints of the Jews
about the unneutral behavior of Switzerland, Sweden, and Spain and
believes that there may be some justification to the Jewish demands for
reparations. It never occurs to the average couch potato to ask, "Hey,
what about reparations for all of the other peoples who were looted
during the war? Why are the Jews the only ones entitled to reparations?
And if the Jews are entitled to reparations for losses that occurred 60
years ago, why shouldn't the Palestinians be entitled to reparations for
what the Jews stole from them much more recently?"

No, unfortunately, it doesn't occur to the average American to ask such
questions. He just accepts at face value whatever he reads in his
newspaper or sees on his television screen. And as long as his newspaper
and his television screen are controlled by the Jews, he's not likely to
see anything which would cause him to question the current Jewish
demands for gold from the rest of the world.

You might wonder how anyone could possibly be as arrogant as the Jews
are in their quest for reparations. I think that the best explanation
for that is to be found in the Jews' view of themselves and their
relationship to the non-Jewish peoples of the world. This view is best
expressed in documents the Jews themselves have written: documents such
as their Talmud and their Old Testament. I understand, of course, that
most Jews today are entirely secular and do not regard such documents
with any special reverence or awe. Nevertheless, they provide wonderful
insight into the Jewish mentality.

More than 3,000 years ago, when the immigrant Jew, Joseph, managed to
become the most powerful bureaucrat in the Egyptian government by
claiming to be able to interpret dreams for the superstitious pharaoh,
according to the Old Testament book of Genesis, he acquired a monopoly
control over the Egyptian grain market and doled out grain to the hungry
Egyptian people or withheld it, according to his policy -- although he
invoked the name of the pharaoh in exercising his policy. He then
invited his fellow Jews to come into Egypt and to "eat the fat of the
land." Not surprisingly, this policy caused resentment toward the Jews
by the Egyptians, and eventually the Egyptians, under a new pharaoh,
threw the Jews out.

Now, it's not really important whether or not this account in Genesis is
historically accurate. What's important is the Jews' attitude toward
this account, and their attitude is that it was right and proper for
them to exploit the Egyptians, and that the Egyptians were persecuting
them in expelling them. It was the Jews' right to exploit the Egyptians,
because whatever the Egyptians had really belonged to the Jews as God's
Chosen People.

One sees this attitude of "what's yours is really mine, because I am a
member of the Chosen People" expressed over and over again in the Old
Testament. In the book of Isaiah it is perhaps most explicit. Isaiah
presents to his fellow Jews a vision of the future in which the Gentiles
of the world will deliver =all= of their wealth to the Jews and will
become the servants of the Jews. And anyone who refuses to pay
reparations to the Jews will be punished severely: "The nation and
kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish." This is spelled out in
detail in the sixtieth and sixty-first chapters of Isaiah.

Observant Jews focus their consciousness of their Jewishness on this
assumed obligation of the Gentile world to turn its wealth over to them.
They have a custom of attaching a little box to one of their doorposts,
with a piece of parchment, called a mezuzah, in the little box. The
parchment is inscribed in Hebrew characters with 22 lines from the Old
Testament which epitomize to them what it means to be a Jew: that is,
with the 22 lines they regard as the most important in all of their
religious writings. These 22 lines are from the fifth book of Moses,
also known as Deuteronomy. They stress the importance of Jews adhering
to the contract they have with their tribal god. The interesting thing
is that immediately following these 22 lines in Deuteronomy is spelled
out what their god will give to them as his obligation under the
contract. And what is promised to the Jews is essentially all the wealth
of the world: specifically, all the wealth now in the hands of non-Jews.
"Thy god shall . . . give thee great and goodly cities, which thou
buildedst not, and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst
not, and wells digged which thou diggedst not, and vineyards and olive
trees which thou plantedst not. . . . Every place whereon the soles of
your feet shall tread shall be yours." Remember, religious Jews regard
this promise, this contract, as the core of their religion.

Well, as you know, it is not my custom to bring religion into these
broadcasts. I certainly don't want to start any religious arguments
among my listeners. But I do think that a consideration of the nature of
Jewish religious belief, as expressed in their religious writings, can
shed some useful light on their attitudes today. Whether they are
religious Jews or non-religious Jews they all seem to have the attitude
that they have some god-given right to exploit the rest of us. If there
are Jews who dissent from this policy of collecting reparations from the
rest of the world, I would like to hear them speak up. So far they seem
to be quite unanimous in their support of the notion that the Swiss owe
them billions of dollars -- and the Swedes and the Spaniards and, in
fact, all the rest of us.
