particle of that order which shapes and forms the whole universe.
The purest idealism is unconsciously equivalent to the deepest
knowledge.
How correct this is, and how little true idealism has to do with
playful flights of the imagination, can be seen at once if we let
the unspoiled child, a healthy boy, for example, judge. The same
boy who feels like throwing up I when he hears the tirades of a
pacifist 'idealist' is ready to give his young life for the ideal of his
nationality.
Here the instinct of knowledge unconsciously obeys the deeper
necessity of the preservation of the species, if necessary at the
cost of the individual, and protests against the visions of the
pacifist windbag who in reality is nothing but a cowardly, though
camouflaged, egoist, transgressing the laws of development; for
development requires willingness on the part of the individual to
sacrifice himself for the community, and not the sickly
imaginings of cowardly knowitalls and critics of Nature.
Especially, therefore, at times when the ideal attitude threatens to
disappear, we can at once recognize a diminution of that force
which forms the community and thus creates the premises of
culture. As soon as egoism becomes the ruler of a people, the
bands of order are loosened and in the chase after their own
happiness men fall from heaven into a real hell.
Yes, even posterity forgets the men who have only served their
own advantage and praises the heroes who have renounced their
own happiness.
The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is represented by the Jew.
In hardly any people in the world is the instinct of self
preservation developed more strongly than in the socalled
'chosen.' Of this, the mere fact of the survival of this race may be
considered the best proof. Where is the people which in the last
two thousand years has been exposed to so slight changes of
inner disposition, character, etc., as the Jewish people? What
people, finally, has gone through greater upheavals than this one
and nevertheless issued from the mightiest catastrophes of
mankind unchanged? What an infinitely tough will to live and
preserve the species speaks from these facts !
The mental qualities of the Jew have been schooled in the course
of many centuries. Today he passes as 'smart,' and this in a
certain sense he has been at all times. But his intelligence is not
the result of his own development, but of visual instruction
through foreigners. For the human mind cannot climb to the top
without steps; for every step upward he needs the foundation of
the past, and this in the comprehensive sense in which it can be
revealed only in general culture. All thinking is based only in
small part on man's own knowledge, and mostly on the
experience of the time that has preceded. The general cultural
level provides the individual man, without his noticing it as a
rule, with such a profusion of preliminary knowledge that, thus
armed, he can more easily take further steps of his own. The boy
of today, for example, grows up among a truly vast number of
technical acquisitions of the last centuries, so that he takes for
granted and no longer pays attention to much that a hundred
years ago was a riddle to even the greatest minds, although for
following and understanding our progress in the field in question
it is of decisive importance to him. If a very genius from the
twenties of the past century should suddenly leave his grave
today, it would be harder for him even intellectually to find his
way in the present era than for an average boy of fifteen today.
For he would lack all the infinite preliminary education which
our present contemporary unconsciously, so to speak, assimilates
while growing up amidst the manifestations of our present
general civilization.
Since the Jewfor reasons which will at once become apparent
was never in possession of a culture of his own, the foundations
of his intellectual work were always provided by others. His
intellect at all times developed through the cultural world
surrounding him.
The reverse process never took place.
For if the Jewish people's instinct of selfpreservation is not
smaller but larger than that of other peoples, if his intellectual
faculties can easily arouse the impression that they are equal to
the intellectual gifts of other races, he lacks completely the most
essential requirement for a cultured people, the idealistic attitude.
In the Jewish people the will to selfsacrifice does not go beyond
the individual's naked instinct of selfpreservation. Their
apparently great sense of solidarity is based on the very primitive
herd instinct that is seen in many other living creatures in this
world. It is a noteworthy fact that the herd instinct leads to
mutual support only as long as a common danger makes this
seem useful or inevitable. The same pack of wolves which has
just fallen on its prey together disintegrates when hunger abates
into its individual beasts. The same is true of horses which try to
defend themselves against an assailant in a body, but scatter
again as soon as the danger is past.
It is similar with the Jew. His sense of sacrifice is only apparent.
It exists only as long as the existence of the individual makes it
absolutely necessary. However, as soon as the common enemy is
conquered, the danger threatening all averted and the booty
hidden, the apparent harmony of the Jews among themselves
ceases, again making way for their old causal tendencies. The
Jew is only united when a common danger forces him to be or a
common booty entices him; if these two grounds are lacking, the
qualities of the crassest egoism come into their own, and in the
twinkling of an eye the united people turns into a horde of rats,
fighting bloodily among themselves.
If the Jews were alone in this world, they would stifle in filth and
offal; they would try to get ahead of one another in hatefilled
struggle and exterminate one another, in so far as the absolute
absence of all sense of selfsacrifice, expressing itself in their
cowardice, did not turn battle into comedy here too.
So it is absolutely wrong to infer any ideal sense of sacrifice in
the Jews from the fact that they stand together in struggle, or,
better expressed, in the plundering of their fellow men.
Here again the Jew is led by nothing but the naked egoism of the
individual.
That is why the Jewish statewhich should be the living organism
for preserving and increasing a raceis completely unlimited as to
territory. For a state formation to have a definite spatial setting
always presupposes an idealistic attitude on the part of the state
race, and especially a correct interpretation of the concept of
work. In the exact measure in which this attitude is lacking, any
attempt at forming, even of preserving, a spatially delimited state
fails. And thus the basis on which alone culture can arise is
lacking.
Hence the Jewish people, despite all apparent intellectual
qualities, is without any true culture, and especially without any
culture of its own. For what sham culture the Jew today
possesses is the property of other peoples, and for the most part it
is ruined in his hands.
In judging the Jewish people's attitude on the question of human
culture, the most essential characteristic we must always bear in
mind is that there has never been a Jewish art and accordingly
there is none today either; that above all the two queens of all the
arts, architecture and music, owe nothing original to the Jews.
What they do accomplish in the field of art is either patchwork or
intellectual theft. Thus, the Jew lacks those qualities which
distinguish the races that are creative and hence culturally
blessed.
To what an extent the Jew takes over foreign culture, imitating or
rather ruining it, can be seen from the fact that he is mostly found
in the art which seems to require least original invention, the art
of acting. But even here, in reality, he is only a ' juggler,' or
rather an ape; for even here he lacks the last touch that is required
for real greatness; even here he is not the creative genius, but a
superficial imitator, and all the twists and tricks that he uses are
powerless to conceal the inner lifelessness of his creative gift.
Here the Jewish press most lovingly helps him along by raising
such a roar of hosannahs about even the most mediocre bungler,
just so long as he is a Jew, that the rest of the world actually ends
up by thinking that they have an artist before them, while in truth
it is only a pitiful comedian.
No, the Jew possesses no culturecreating force of any sort, since
the idealism, without which there is no true higher development
of man, is not present in him and never was present. Hence his
intellect will never have a constructive effect, but will be
destructive, and in very rare cases perhaps will at most be
stimulating, but then as the prototype of the ' force which always
wants evil and nevertheless creates good.' Not through him does
any progress of mankind occur, but in spite of him.
Since the Jew never possessed a state with definite territorial
limits and therefore never called a culture his own, the
conception arose that this was a people which should be
reckoned among the ranks of the nomads. This is a fallacy as
great as it is dangerous. The nomad does possess a definitely
limited living space, only he does not cultivate it like a sedentary
peasant, but lives from the yield of his herds with which he
wanders about in his territory. The outward reason for this is to
be found in the small fertility of a soil which simply does not
permit of settlement. The deeper cause, however, lies in the
disparity between the technical culture of an age or people and
the natural poverty of a living space. There are territories in
which even the Aryan is enabled only by his technology,
developed in the course of more than a thousand years, to live in
regular settlements, to master broad stretches of soil and obtain
from it the requirements of life. If he did not possess this
technology, either he would have to avoid these territories or
likewise have to struggle along as a nomad in perpetual
wandering, provided that his thousandyearold education and
habit of settled residence did not make this seem simply
unbearable to him. We must bear in mind that in the time when
the American continent was being opened up, numerous Aryans
fought for their livelihood as trappers, hunters, etc., and often in
larger troops with wife and children, always on the move, so that
their existence was completely like that of the nomads. But as
soon as their increasing number and better implements permitted
them to clear the wild soil and make a stand against the natives,
more and more settlements sprang up in the land.
Probably the Aryan was also first a nomad, settling in the course
of time, but for that very reason he was never a Jew! No, the Jew
is no nomad; for the nomad had also a definite attitude toward
the concept of work which could serve as a basis for his later
development in so far as the necessary intellectual premises were
present. In him the basic idealistic view is present, even if in
infinite dilution, hence in his whole being he may seem strange
to the Aryan peoples, but not unattractive. In the Jew, however,
this attitude is not at all present; for that reason he was never a
nomad, but only and always a parasite in the body of other
peoples. That he sometimes left his previous living space has
nothing to do with his own purpose, but results from the fact that
from time to time he was thrown out by the host nations he had
misused. His spreading is a typical phenomenon for all parasites;
he always seeks a new feeding ground for his race.
This, however, has nothing to do with nomadism, for the reason
that a Jew never thinks of leaving a territory ∙hat he has occupied,
but remains where he is, and he sits so fast that even by force it is
very hard to drive him out. His extension to evernew countries
occurs only in the moment in which certain conditions for his
existence are there present, without which unlike the nomadhe
would not change his residence. He is and remains the typical
parasite, a sponger who like a noxious bacillus keeps spreading
as soon as a favorable medium invites him. And the effect of his
existence is also like that of spongers: wherever he appears, the
host people dies out after a shorter or longer period.
Thus, the Jew of all times has lived in the states of other peoples,
and there formed his own state, which, to be sure, habitually
sailed under the disguise of 'religious community' as long as
outward circumstances made a complete revelation of his nature
seem inadvisable. But as soon as he felt strong enough to do
without the protective cloak, he always dropped the veil and
suddenly became what so many of the others previously did not
want to believe and see: the Jew.
The Jew's life as a parasite in the body of other nations and states
explains a characteristic which once caused Schopenhauer, as has
already been mentioned, to call him the 'great master in lying.'
Existence impels the Jew to lies and to lie perpetually, just as it
compels the inhabitants of the northern countries to wear warm
clothing.
His life within other peoples can only endure for any length of
time if he succeeds in arousing the opinion that he is not a.people
but a 'religious community,' though of a special sort.
And this is the first great lie.
In order to carry on his existence as a parasite on other peoples,
he is forced to deny his inner nature. The more intelligent the
individual Jew is, the more he will succeed in this deception.
Indeed, things can go so far that large parts of the host people
will end by seriously believing that the Jew is really a Frenchman
or an Englishman, a German or an Italian, though of a special
religious faith. Especially state authorities, which always seem
animated by the historical fraction of wisdom, most easily fall a
victim to this infinite deception. Independent thinking sometimes
seems to these circles a true sin against holy advancement, so
that we may not be surprised if even today a Bavarian state
ministry, for example, still has not the faintest idea that the Jews
are members of a people and not of a ' religion' though a glance
at the Jew's own newspapers should indicate this even to the
most modest mind. The Jewish Echo is not yet an official organ,
of course, and consequently is unauthoritative as far as the
intelligence of one of these government potentates is concerned.
The Jew has always been a people with definite racial
characteristics and never a religion; only in order to get ahead he
early sought for a means which could distract unpleasant
attention from his person. And what would have been more
expedient and at the same time more innocent than the
'embezzled' concept of a religious community? For here, too,
everything is borrowed or rather stolen. Due to his own original
special nature, the Jew cannot possess a religious institution, if
for no other reason because he lacks idealism in any form, and
hence belief in a hereafter is absolutely foreign to him. And a
religion in the Aryan sense cannot be imagined which lacks the
conviction of survival after death in some form. Indeed, the
Talmud is not a book to prepare a man for the hereafter, but only
for a practical and profitable life in this world.
The Jewish religious doctrine consists primarily in prescriptions
for keeping the blood of Jewry pure and for regulating the
relation of Jews among themselves, but even more with the rest
of the world; in other words, with nonJews. But even here it is
by no means ethical problems that are involved, but extremely
modest economic ones. Concerning the moral value of Jewish
religious instruction, there are today and have been at all times
rather exhaustive studies (not by Jews; the drivel of the Jews
themselves on the subject is, of course, adapted to its purpose)
which make this kind of religion seem positively monstrous
according to Aryan conceptions. The best characterization is
provided by the product of this religious education, the Jew
himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as
alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years
previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course,
the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people,
and when necessary he even took to the whip to drive from the
temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as
always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business
existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our
presentday party Christians debase themselves to begging for
Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political
swindles with atheistic Jewish partiesand this against their own
nation.
On this first and greatest lie, that the Jews are not a race but a
religion, more and more lies are based in necessary consequence.
Among them is the lie with regard to the language of the Jew.
For him it is not a means for expressing his thoughts, but a means
for concealing them. When he speaks French, he thinks Jewish,
and while he turns out German verses, in his life he only
expresses the nature of his nationality. As long as the Jew has not
become the master of the other peoples, he must speak their
languages whether he likes it or not, but as soon as they became
his slaves, they would all have to learn a universal language
(Esperanto, for instance!), so that by this additional means the
Jews could more easily dominate them!
To what an extent the whole existence of this people is based on
a continuous lie is shown incomparably by the Protocols of the
Wise Men of Zion, so infinitely hated by the Jews. They are
based on a forgery, the Frankfurter Zeitung moans and screams
once every week: the best proof that they are authentic. What
many Jews may do unconsciously is here consciously exposed.
And that is what matters. It is completely indifferent from what
Jewish brain these disclosures originate; the important thing is
that with positively terrifying certainty they reveal the nature and
activity of the Jewish people and expose their inner contexts as
well as their ultimate final aims. The best criticism applied to
them, however, is reality. Anyone who examines the historical
development of the last hundred years from the standpoint of this
book will at once understand the screaming of the Jewish press.
For once this book has become the common property of a people,
the Jewish menace may be considered as broken.
The best way to know the Jew is to study the road which he has
taken within the body of other peoples in the course of the
centuries. It suffices to follow this up in only one example, to
arrive at the necessary realizations. As his development has
always and at all times been the same, just as that of the peoples
corroded by him has also been the same, it is advisable in such an
examination to divide his development into definite sections
which in this case for the sake of simplicity I designate
alphabetically. The first Jews came to ancient Germany in the
course of the advance of the Romans, and as always they came as
merchants. In the storms of the migrations, however, they seem
to have disappeared again, and thus the time of the first
Germanic state formation may be viewed as the beginning of a
new and this time lasting Jewification of Central and Northern
Europe. A development set in which has always been the same or
similar wherever the Jews encountered Aryan peoples. (a) With
the appearance of the first fixed settlement, the Jew is suddenly
'at hand.' He comes as a merchant and at first attaches little
importance to the concealment of his nationality. He is still a
Jew, partly perhaps among other reasons because the outward
racial difference between himself and the host people is too great,
his linguistic knowledge still too small, and the cohesion of the
host people too sharp for him to dare to try to appear as anything
else than a foreign merchant. With his dexterity and the
inexperience of his host people, the retention of his character as a
Jew represents no disadvantage for him, but rather an advantage;
the stranger is given a friendly reception.
(b) Gradually he begins slowly to become active in economic
life, not as a producer, but exclusively as a middleman. With his
thousandyearold mercantile dexterity he is far superior to the
still helpless, and above all boundlessly honest, Aryans, so that in
a short time commerce threatens to become his monopoly. He
begins to lend money and as always at usurious interest. As a
matter of fact, he thereby introduces interest. The danger of this
new institution is not recognized at first, but because of its
momentary advantages is even welcomed.
(c) The Jew has now become a steady resident; that is, he settles
special sections of the cities and villages and more and more
constitutes a state within a state. He regards commerce as well as
all financial transactions as his own special privilege which he
ruthlessly exploits.
(d) Finance and commerce have become his complete monopoly.
His usurious rates of interest finally arouse resistance, the rest of
his increasing effrontery indignation, his wealth envy. The cup is
full to overflowing when he draws the soil into the sphere of his
commercial objects and degrades it to the level of a commodity
to be sold or rather traded. Since he himself never cultivates the
soil, but regards it only as a property to be exploited on which the
peasant can well remain, though amid the most miserable
extortions on the part of his new master, the aversion against him
gradually increases to open hatred. His bloodsucking tyranny
becomes so great that excesses against him occur. People begin
to look at the foreigner more and more closely and discover more
and more repulsive traits and characteristics in him until the cleft
becomes unbridgeable.
At times of the bitterest distress, fury against him finally breaks
out, and the plundered and ruined masses begin to defend
themselves against the scourge of God. In the course of a few
centuries they have come to know him, and now they feel that
the mere fact of his existence is as bad as the plague.
(e) Now the Jew begins to reveal his true qualities. With
repulsive flattery he approaches the governments, puts his money
to work, and in this way always manages to secure new license to
plunder his victims. Even though the rage of the people
sometimes flares high against the eternal bloodsucker, it does
not in the least prevent him from reappearing in a few years in
the place he had hardly left and beginning the old life all over
again. No persecution can deter him from his type of human
exploitation, none can drive him away; after every persecution he
is back again in a short time, and just the same as before.
To prevent the very worst, at least, the people begin to withdraw
the soil from his usurious hands by making it legally impossible
for him to acquire soil.
(f) Proportionately as the power of the princes begins to mount,
he pushes closer and closer to them. He begs for ' patents ' and
'privileges,' which the lords, always in financial straits, are glad
to give him for suitable payment. However much this may cost
him, he recovers the money he has spent in a few years through
interest and compound interest. A true bloodsucker that attaches
himself to the body of the unhappy people and cannot be picked
off until the princes themselves again need money and with their
own exalted hand tap off the blood he has sucked from them.
This game is repeated again and again, and in it the role of the
socalled 'German princes' is just as miserable as that of the Jews
themselves. These lords were really God's punishment for their
beloved peoples and find their parallels only in the various
ministers of the present time.
It is thanks to the German princes that the German nation was
unable to redeem itself for good from the Jewish menace. In this,
too, unfortunately, nothing changed as time went on; all they
obtained from the Jew was the thousandfold reward for the sins
they had once committed against their peoples. They made a pact
with the devil and landed in hell.
(g) And so, his ensnarement of the princes leads to their ruin.
Slowly but surely their relation to the peoples loosens in the
measure in which they cease to serve the people's interests and
instead become mere exploiters of their subjects. The Jew well
knows what their end will be and tries to hasten it as much as
possible. He himself adds to their financial straits by alienating
them more and more from their true tasks, by crawling around
them with the vilest flattery, by encouraging them in vices, and
thus making himself more and more indispensable to them. With
his deftness, or rather unscrupulousness, in all money matters he
is able to squeeze, yes, to grind, more and more money out of the
plundered subjects, who in shorter and shorter intervals go the
way of all flesh. Thus every court has its 'court Jew'as the
monsters are called who torment the 'beloved people' to despair
and prepare eternal pleasures for the princes. Who then can be
surprised that these ornaments of the human race ended up by
being ornamented, or rather decorated, in the literal sense, and
rose to the hereditary nobility, helping not only to make this
institution ridiculous, but even to poison it?
Now, it goes without saying, he can really make use of his
position for his own advancement.
Finally he needs only to have himself baptized to possess himself
of all the possibilities and rights of the natives of the country.
Not seldom he concludes this deal to the joy of the churches over
the son they have won and of Israel over the successful swindle.
(h) Within Jewry a change now begins to take place. Up till now
they have been Jews; that is, they attach no importance to
appearing to be something else, which they were unable to do,
anyway, because of the very distinct racial characteristics on both
sides. At the time of Frederick the Great it still entered no one's
head to regard the Jew as anything else but a 'foreign' people, and
Goethe was still horrified at the thought that in future marriage
between Christians and Jews would no longer be forbidden by
law. And Goethe, by God, was no reactionary, let alone a helot; I
what spoke out of him was only the voice of the blood and of
reason. Thusdespite all the shameful actions of the courtsthe
people instinctively saw in the Jew a foreign element and took a
corresponding attitude toward him.
But now all this was to change. In the course of more than a
thousand years he has learned the language of the host people to
such an extent that he now thinks he can venture in future to
emphasize his Judaism less and place his 'Germanism' more in
the foreground; for ridiculous, nay, insane, as it may seem at
first, he nevertheless has the effrontery to turn 'Germanic,' in this
case a 'German.' With this begins one of the most infamous
deceptions that anyone could conceive of. Since of Germanism
he possesses really nothing but the art of stammering its language
and in the most frightful waybut apart from this has never
mixed with the Germans, his whole Germanism rests on the
language alone. Race, however, does not lie in the language, but
exclusively in the blood, which no one knows better than the
Jew, who attaches very little importance to the preservation of
his language, but all importance to keeping his blood pure. A
man can change his language without any troublethat is, he can
use another language; but in his new language he will express the
old ideas; his inner nature is not changed. This is best shown by
the Jew who can speak a thousand languages and nevertheless
remains a Jew. His traits of character have remained the same,
whether two thousand years ago as a grain dealer in Ostia,
speaking Roman, or whether as a flour profiteer of today,
jabbering German with a Jewish accent. It is always the same
Jew. That this obvious fact is not understood by a ministerial
secretary or higher police official is also selfevident, for there is
scarcely any creature with less instinct and intelligence running
around in the world today than these servants of our present
model state authority.
The reason why the Jew decides suddenly to become a 'German '
is obvious. He feels that the power of the princes is slowly
tottering and therefore tries at an early time to get a platform
beneath his feet. Furthermore, his financial domination of the
whole economy has advanced so far that without possession of
all 'civil' rights he can no longer support the gigantic edifice, or at
any rate, no further increase of his influence is possible. And he
desires both of these; for the higher he climbs, the more alluring
his old goal that was once promised him rises from the veil of the
past, and with feverish avidity his keenest minds see the dream of
world domination tangibly approaching. And so his sole effort is
directed toward obtaining full possession of 'civil' rights.
This is the reason for his emancipation from the ghetto.
(i) So from the court Jew theregradually develops the people's
Jew, which means, of course: the Jew remains as before in the
entourage of the high lords; in fact,he tries to push his way even
more into their circle; but at the same time another part of his
race makes friends with the ' beloved people. ' If we consider
how greatly he has sinned against the masses in the course of the
centuries, how he has squeezed and sucked their blood again and
again; if furthermore, we consider how the people gradually
learned to hate him for this, and ended up by regarding his
existence as nothing but a punishment of Heaven for the other
peoples, we can understand how hard this shift must be for the
Jew. Yes, it is an arduous task suddenly to present himself to his
flayed victims as a 'friend of mankind.'
First, therefore, he goes.about making up to the people for his
previous sins against them. He begins his career as the
'benefactor' of mankind. Since his new benevolence has a
practical foundation, he cannot very well adhere to the old
Biblical recommendation, that the left hand should not know
what the right hand giveth; no, whether he likes it or not, he must
reconcile himself to letting as many people as possible know how
deeply he feels the sufferings of the masses and all the sacrifices
that he himself is making to combat them. With this 'modesty '
which is inborn in him, he blares out his merits to the rest of the
world until people really begin to believe in them. Anyone who
does not believe in them is doing him a bitter injustice. In a short
time he begins to twist things around to make it look as if all the
injustice in the world had always been done to him and not the
other way around. The very stupid believe this and then they just
can't help but pity the poor 'unfortunate.'
In addition, it should be remarked here that the Jew, despite all
his love of sacrifice, naturally never becomes personally
impoverished. He knows how to manage; sometimes, indeed, his
charity is really comparable to fertilizer, which is not strewn on
the field for love of the field, but with a view to the farmer's own
future benefit. In any case, everyone knows in a comparatively
short time that the Jew has become a 'benefactor and friend of
mankind.' What a strange transformation!
But what is more or less taken for granted in others arouses the
greatest astonishment and in many distinct admiration for this
very reason. So it happens that he gets much more credit for
every such action than the rest of mankind, in whom it is taken
for granted.
But even more: all at once the Jew also becomes liberal and
begins to rave about the necessary progress of mankind.
Slowly he makes himself the spokesman of a new era.
Also, of course, he destroys more and more thoroughly the
foundations of any economy that will really benefit the people.
By way of stock shares he pushes his way into the circuit of
national production which he turns into a purchasable or rather
tradable object, thus robbing the enterprises of the foundations of
a personal ownership. Between employer and employee there
arises that inner estrangement which later leads to political class
division.
Finally, the Jewish influence on economic affairs grows with
terrifying speed through the stock exchange. He becomes the
owner, or at least the controller, of the national labor force.
To strengthen his political position he tries to tear down the
racial and civil barriers which for a time continue to restrain him
at every step. To this end he fights with all the tenacity innate in
him for religious toleranceand in Freemasonry, which has
succumbed to him completely, he has an excellent instrument
with which to fight for his aims and put them across. The
governing circles and the higher strata of the political and
economic bourgeoisie are brought into his nets by the strings of
Freemasonry, and never need to suspect what is happening Only
the deeper and broader strata of the people as such, or rather that
class which is beginning to wake up and fight for its rights and
freedom, cannot yet be sufficiently taken in by these methods.
But this is more necessary than anything else; for the Jew feels
that the possibility of his rising to a dominant role exists only if
there is someone ahead of him to dear the way; and this someone
he thinks he can recognize in the bourgeoisie, in their broadest
strata in fact. The glovemakers and linen weavers, however,
cannot be caught in the fine net of Freemasonry; no, for them
coarser but no less drastic means must be employed. Thus
Freemasonry is joined by a second weapon in the service of the
Jews: the press. With all his perseverance and dexterity he seizes
possession of it. With it he slowly begins to grip and ensnare, to
guide and to push all public life, since he is in a position to create
and direct that power which, under the name of 'public opinion,'
IS better known today than a few decades ago.
In this he always represents himself personally as having an
infinite thirst for knowledge, praises all progress, mostly, to be
sure, the progress that leads to the ruin of others; for he judges all
knowledge and all development only according to its possibilities
for advancing his nation, and where this is lacking, he is the
inexorable mortal enemy of all light, a hater of all true culture.
He uses all the knowledge he acquires in the schools of other
peoples, exclusively for the benefit of his race.
And this nationality he guards as never before. While he seems to
overflow with 'enlightenment,' 'progress,' 'freedom,' 'humanity,'
etc., he himself practices the severest segregation of his race. To
be sure, he sometimes palms off his women on influential
Christians, but as a matter of principle he always keeps his male
line pure. He poisons the blood of others, but preserves his own.
The Jew almost never marries a Christian woman; it is the
Christian who marries a Jewess. The bastards, however, take
after the Jewish side. Especially a part of the high nobility
degenerates completely. The Jew is perfectly aware of this, and
therefore systematically carries on this mode of ' disarming ' the
intellectual leader class of his racial adversaries. In order to mask
his activity and lull his victims, however, he talks more and more
of the equality of all men without regard to race and color. The
fools begin to believe him.
Since, however, his whole being still has too strong a smell of the
foreign for the broad masses of the people in particular to fall
readily into his nets, he has his press give a picture of him which
is as little in keeping with reality as conversely it serves his
desired purpose. His comic papers especially strive to represent
the Jews as a harmless little people, with their own peculiarities,
of courselike other peoples as wellbut even in their gestures,
which seem a little strange, perhaps, giving signs of a possibly
ludicrous, but always thoroughly honest and benevolent, soul.
And the constant effort is to make him seem almost more
'insignificant' than dangerous.
His ultimate goal in this stage is the victory of ' democracy,' or,
as he understands it: the rule of parliamentarianism. It is most
compatible with his requirements; for it excludes the personality
and puts in its place the majority characterized by stupidity,
incompetence, and last but not least, cowardice.
The final result will be the overthrow of the monarchy, which is
now sooner or later bound to occur.
(j) The tremendous economic development leads to a change in
the social stratification of the people. The small craftsman slowly
dies out, and as a result the worker's possibility of achieving an
independent existence becomes rarer and rarer; in consequence
the worker becomes visibly proletarianized. There arises the
industrial ' factory worker ' whose most essential characteristic is
to be sought in the fact that he hardly ever is in a position to
found an existence of his own in later life. He is propertyless in
the truest sense of the word. His old age is a torment and can
scarcely be designated as living.
Once before, a similar situation was created, which pressed
urgently for a solution and also found one. The peasants and
artisans had slowly been joined by the officials and salaried
workersparticularly of the stateas a new class. They, too, were
propertyless in the truest sense of the word. The state finally
found a way out of this unhealthy condition by assuming the care
of the state employee who could not himself provide for his old
age; it introduced the pension. Slowly, more and more
enterprises followed this example, so that nearly every regularly
employed brainworker draws a pension in later life, provided the
concern he works in has achieved or surpassed a certain size.
Only by safeguarding the state official in his old age could he be
taught the selfless devotion to duty which in the preWar period
was the most eminent quality of German officialdom.
In this way a whole class that had remained propertyless was
wisely snatched away from social misery and articulated with the
body of the people.
Now this question again, and this time on a much larger scale,
faced the state and the nation. More and more masses of people,
numbering millions, moved from peasant villages to the larger
cities to earn their bread as factory workers in the newly
established industries. The working and living conditions of the
new class were more than dismal. If nothing else, the more or
less mechanical transference of the old artisan's or even peasant's
working methods to the new form was by no means suitable. The
work done by these men could not be compared with the
exertions which the industrial factory worker has to perform. In
the old handicraft, this may not have been very important, but in
the new working methods it was all the more so. The formal
transference of the old working hours to the industrial largescale
enterprise was positively catastrophic, for the actual work done
before was but little in view of the absence of our present
intensive working methods. Thus, though previously the
fourteenor even fifteenhour working day had been bearable, it
certainly ceased to be bearable at a time when every minute was
exploited to the fullest. The result of this senseless transference
of the old working hours to the new industrial activity was really
unfortunate in two respects: the worker's health was undermined
and his faith in a higher justice destroyed. To this finally was
added the miserable wages on the one hand and the employer's
correspondingly and obviously so vastly superior position on the
other.
In the country there could be no social question, since master and
hired hand did the same work and above all ate out of the same
bowls. But this, too, changed.
The separation of worker and employer now seems complete in
all fields of life. How far the inner Judaization of our people has
progressed can be seen from the small respect, if not contempt,
that is accorded to manual labor. This is not German. It took the
foreignization of our life, which was in truth a Jewification, to
transform the old respect for manual work into a certain
contempt for all physical labor.
Thus, there actually comes into being a new class enjoying very
little respect, and one day the question must arise whether the
nation would possess the strength to articulate the new class into
general society, or whether the social difference would broaden
into a classlike cleavage.
But one thing is certain: the new class did not count the worst
elements in its ranks, but on the contrary definitely the most
energetic elements. The overrefinements of socalled culture had
not yet exerted their disintegrating and destructive effects. The
broad mass of the new class was not yet infected with the poison
of pacifist weakness; it was robust and if necessary even brutal.
While the bourgeoisie is not at all concerned about this all
important question, but indifferently lets things slide, the Jew
seizes the unlimited opportunity it offers for the future; while on
the one hand he organizes capitalistic methods of human
exploitation to their ultimate consequence, he approaches the
very victims of his spirit and his activity and in a short time
becomes the leader of their struggle against himself. 'Against
himself' is only figuratively speaking; for the great master of lies
understands as always how to make himself appear to be the pure
one and to load the blame on others. Since he has th gall to lead
the masses, it never even enters their heads that this might be the
most in famous betrayal of all times.
And yet it was.
Scarcely has the new class grown out of the general economic
shift than the Jew, clearly and distinctly, realizes that it can open
the way for his own further advancement. First, he used the
bourgeoisie as a batteringram against the feudal world, then the
worker against the bourgeois world. If formerly he knew how to
swindle his way to civil rights in the shadow of the bourgeoisie,
now he hopes to find the road to his own domination in the
worker's struggle for existence.
From now on the worker has no other task but to fight for the
future of the Jewish people. Unconsciously he is harnessed to the
service of the power which he thinks he is combating. He is
seemingly allowed to attack capital, and this is the easiest way of
making him fight for it. In this the Jew keeps up an outcry
against international capital and in truth he means the national
economy which must be demolished in order that the
international stock exchange can triumph over its dead body.
Here the Jew's procedure is as follows:
He approaches the worker, simulates pity with his fate, or even
indignation at his lot of misery and poverty, thus gaining his
confidence. He takes pains to study all the various real or
imaginary hardships of his lifeand to arouse his longing for a
change in such an existence. With infinite shrewdness he fans the
need for social justice, somehow slumbering in every Aryan
man, into hatred against those who have been better favored by
fortune, and thus gives the struggle for the elimination of social
evils a very definite philosophical stamp. He establishes the
Marxist doctrine.
By presenting it as inseparably bound up with a number of
socially just demands, he promotes its spread and conversely the
aversion of decent people to fulfill demands which, advanced in
such form and company, seem from the outset unjust and
impossible to fulfill. For under this cloak of purely social ideas
truly diabolic purposes are hidden, yes, they are publicly
proclaimed with the most insolent frankness. This theory
represents an inseparable mixture of reason and human madness,
but always in such a way that only the lunacy can become reality
and never the reason. By the categorical rejection of the
personality and hence of the nation and its racial content, it
destroys the elementary foundations of all human culture which
is dependent on just these factors. This is the true inner kernel of
the Marxist philosophy in so far as this figment of a criminal
brain can be designated as a 'philosophy.' With the shattering of
the personality and the race, the essential obstacle is removed to
the domination of the inferior beingand this is the Jew.
Precisely in political and economic madness lies the sense of this
doctrine. For this prevents all truly intelligent people from
entering its service, while those who are intellectually less active
and poorly educated in economics hasten to it with flying colors.
The intellectuals for this movementfor even this movement
needs intellectuals for its existenceare ' sacrificed ' by the Jew
from his own ranks.
Thus there arises a pure movement entirely of manual workers
under Jewish leadership, apparently aiming to improve the
situation of the worker, but in truth planning the enslavement and
with it the destruction of all nonJewish peoples.
The general pacifistic paralysis of the national instinct of
selfpreservation begun by Freemasonry in the circles of the so
called intelligentsia is transmitted to the broad masses and above
all to the bourgeoisie by the activity of the big papers which
today are always Jewish. Added to these two weapons of
disintegration comes a third and by far the most terrible, the
organization of brute force. As a shock and storm troop, Marxism
is intended to finish off what the preparatory softening up with
the first two weapons has made ripe for collapse.
Here we have teamwork that is positively brilliantand we need
really not be surprised if in confronting it those very institutions
which always like to represent themselves as the pillars of a more
or less legendary state authority hold up least. It is in our high
and highest state officialdom that the Jew has at all times (aside
from a few exceptions) found the most compliant abettor of his
work of disintegration. Cringing submissiveness to superiors and
highhanded arrogance to inferiors distinguish this class to the
same degree as a narrowmindedness that often cries to high
Heaven and is only exceeded by a selfconceit that is sometimes
positively amazing.
And these are qualities that the Jew needs in our authorities and
loves accordingly.
The practical struggle which now begins, sketched in broad
outlines, takes the following course:
In keeping with the ultimate aims of the Jewish struggle, which
are not exhausted in the mere economic conquest of the world,
but also demand its political subjugation, the Jew divides the
organization of his Marxist world doctrine into two halves which,
apparently separate from one another, in truth form an
inseparable whole: the political and the tradeunion movement.
The tradeunion movement does the recruiting. In the hard
struggle for existence which the worker must carry on, thanks to
the greed and shortsightedness of many employers, it offers him
aid and protection, and thus the possibility of winning better
living conditions. If, at a time when the organized national
community, the state, concerns itself with him little or not at all,
the worker does not want to hand over the defense of his vital
human rights to the blind caprice of people who in part have little
sense of responsibility and are often heartless to boot, he must
take their defense into his own hands. In exact proportion as the
socalled national bourgeoisie, blinded by financial interests, sets
the heaviest obstacles in the path of this struggle for existence
and not only resists all attempts at shortening the inhumanly long
working day, abolishing child labor, safeguarding and protecting
the woman, improving sanitary conditions in the workshops and
homes, but often actually sabotages them, the shrewder Jew takes
the oppressed people under his wing. Gradually he be comes the
leader of the tradeunion movement, all the more easily as he is
not interested in really eliminating social evils in an honest sense,
but only in training an economic storm troop, blindly devoted to
him, with which to destroy the national economic independence.
For while the conduct of a healthy social policy will consistently
move between the aims of preserving the national health on the
one hand and safeguarding an independent national economy on
the other, for the Jew in his struggle these two criteria not only
cease to exist, but their elimination, among other things, is his
life goal. He desires, not the preservation of an independent
national economy, but its destruction. Consequently, no pangs of
conscience can prevent him as a leader of the tradeunion
movement from raising demands which not only overshoot the
goal, but whose fulfillment is either impossible for practical
purposes or means the ruin of the national economy. Moreover,
he does not want to have a healthy, sturdy race before him, but a
rickety herd capable of being subjugated. This desire again
permits him to raise demands of the most senseless kind whose
practical fulfillment he himself knows to be impossible and
which, therefore, could not lead to any change in things, but at
most to a wild incitement of the masses. And that is what he is
interested in and not a true and honest improvement of social
conditions.
Hence the Jewish leadership in tradeunion affairs remains
uncontested until an enormous work of enlightenment influences
the broad masses and sets them right about their neverending
misery, or else the state disposes of the Jew and his work. For as
long as the insight of the masses remains as slight as now and the
state as indifferent as today, these masses will always be first to
follow the man who in economic matters offers the most
shameless promises. And in this the Jew is a master. For in his
entire activity he is restrained by no moral scruples!
And so he inevitably drives every competitor in this sphere from
the field in a short time. In keeping with all his inner rapacious
brutality, he at once teaches the tradeunion movement the most
brutal use of violence. If anyone by his intelligence resists the
Jewish lures, his defiance and understanding are broken by terror.
The success of such an activity is enormous.
Actually the Jew by means of the trade union, which could be a
blessing for the nation, shatters the foundations of the national
economy.
Parallel with this, the political organization advances.
It plays hand in glove with the tradeunion movement, for the
latter prepares the masses for political organization, in fact,
lashes them into it with violence and coercion. Furthermore, it is
the permanent financial source from which the political
organization feeds its enormous apparatus. It is the organ
controlling the political activity of the individual and does the
pandering in all big demonstrations of a political nature. In the
end it no longer comes out for political interests at all, but places
its chief instrument of struggle, the cessation of work in the form
of a mass and general strike, in the service of the political idea.
By the creation of a press whose content is adapted to the
intellectual horizon of the least educated people, the political and
tradeunion organization finally obtains the agitational institution
by which the lowest strata of the nation are made ripe for the
most reckless acts. Its function is not to lead people out of the
swamp of a base mentality to a higher stage, but to cater to their
lowest instincts. Since the masses are as mentally lazy as they are
sometimes presumptuous, this is a business as speculative as it is
profitable.
It is this press, above all, which wages a positively fanatical and
slanderous struggle, tearing down everything which can be
regarded as a support of national independence, cultural
elevation, and the economic independence of the nation.
Above all, it hammers away at the characters of all those who
will not bow down to the Jewish presumption to dominate, or
whose ability and genius in themselves seem a danger to the Jew.
For to be hated by the Jew it is not necessary to combat him; no,
it suffices if he suspects that someone might even conceive the
idea of combating him some time or that on the strength of his
superior genius he is an augmenter of the power and greatness of
a nationality hostile to the Jew.
His unfailing instinct in such things scents the original soul l in
everyone, and his hostility is assured to anyone who is not spirit
of his spirit. Since the Jew is not the attacked but the attacker, not
only anyone who attacks passes as his enemy, but also anyone
who resists him. But the means with which he seeks to break
such reckless but upright souls is not honest warfare, but lies and
slander.
Here he stops at nothing, and in his vileness he becomes so
gigantic that no one need be surprised if among our people the
personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the
living shape of the Jew.
The ignorance of the broad masses about the inner nature of the
Jew, the lack of instinct and narrowmindedness of our upper
classes, make the people an easy victim for this Jewish campaign
of lies.
While from innate cowardice the upper classes turn away from a
man whom the Jew attacks with lies and slander, the broad
masses from stupidity or simplicity believe everything. The state
authorities either cloak themselves in silence or, what usually
happens, in order to put an end to the Jewish press campaign,
they persecute the unjustly attacked, which, in the eyes of such
an official ass, passes as the preservation of state authority and
the safeguarding of law and order.
Slowly fear of the Marxist weapon of Jewry descends like a
nightmare on the mind and soul of decent people.
They begin to tremble before the terrible enemy and thus have
become his final victim.
The Jew's domination in the state seems so assured that now not
only can he call himself a Jew again, but he ruthlessly admits his
ultimate national and political designs. A section of his race
openly owns itself to be a foreign people, yet even here they lie.
For while the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe
that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in
the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the
dumb Goyim. It doesn't even enter their heads to build up a
Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they
want is a central organization for their international world
swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed
from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted
scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.
It is a sign of their rising confidence and sense of security that at
a time when one section is still playing the German, Frenchman,
or Englishman, the other with open effrontery comes out as the
Jewish race.
How close they see approaching victory can be seen by the
hideous aspect which their relations with the members of other
peoples takes on.
With satanic joy in his face, the blackhaired Jewish youth lurks
in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood,
thus stealing her from her people. With every means he tries to
destroy the racial foundations of the people he has set out to
subjugate. Just as he himself systematically ruins women and
girls, he does not shrink back from pulling down the blood
barriers for others, even on a large scale. It was and it is Jews
who bring the Negroes into the Rhineland, always with the same
secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by
the necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from
its cultural and political height, and himself rising to be its
master.
For a racially pure people which is conscious of its blood can
never be enslaved by the Jew. In this world he will forever be
master over bastards and bastards alone.
And so he tries systematically to lower the racial level by a
continuous poisoning of individuals.
And in politics he begins to replace the idea of democracy by the
dictatorship of the proletariat.
In the organized mass of Marxism he has found the weapon
which lets him dispense with democracy and in its stead allows
him to subjugate and govern the peoples with a dictatorial and
brutal fist.
He works systematically for revolutionization in a twofold sense:
economic and political.
Around peoples who offer too violent a resistance to attack from
within he weaves a net of enemies, thanks to his international
influence, incites them to war, and finally, if necessary, plants the
flag of revolution on the very battlefields.
In economics he undermines the states until the social enterprises
which have become unprofitable are taken from the state and
subjected to his financial control.
In the political field he refuses the state the means for its
selfpreservation, destroys the foundations of all national self
maintenance and defense, destroys faith in the leadership, scoffs
at its history and past, and drags everything that is truly great into
the gutter.
Culturally he contaminates art, literature, the theater, makes a
mockery of natural feeling, overthrows all concepts of beauty
and sublimity, of the noble and the good, and instead drags men
down into the sphere of his own base nature.
Religion is ridiculed, ethics and morality represented as
outmoded, until the last props of a nation in its struggle for
existence in this world have fallen.
(e) Now begins the great last revolution. In gaining political
power the Jew casts off the few cloaks that he still wears. The
democratic people's Jew becomes the bloodJew and tyrant over
peoples. In a few years he tries to exterminate the national
intelligentsia and by robbing the peoples of their natural
intellectual leadership makes them ripe for the slave's lot of
permanent subjugation.
The most frightful example of this kind is offered by Russia,
where he killed or starved about thirty million people with
positively fanatical savagery, in part amid inhuman tortures, in
order to give a gang of Jewish journalists and stock exchange
bandits domination over a great people.
The end is not only the end of the freedom of the peoples
oppressed by the Jew, but also the end of this parasite upon the
nations. After the death of his victim, the vampire sooner or later
dies too.
If we pass all the causes of the German collapse in review, the
ultimate and most decisive remains the failure to recognize the
racial problem and especially the Jewish menace.
The defeats on the battlefield in August, 1918, would have been
child's play to bear. They stood in no proportion to the victories
of our people. It was not they that caused our downfall; no, it was
brought about by that power which prepared these defeats by
systematically over many decades robbing our people of the
political and moral instincts and forces which alone make nations
capable and hence worthy of existence.
In heedlessly ignoring the question of the preservation of the
racial foundations of our nation, the old Reich disregarded the
sole right which gives life in this world. Peoples which
bastardize themselves, or let themselves be bastardized, sin
against the will of eternal Providence, and when their ruin is
encompassed by a stronger enemy it is not an injustice done to
them, but only the restoration of justice. If a people no longer
wants to respect the Naturegiven qualities of its being which
root in its blood, it has no further right to complain over the loss
of its earthly existence.
Everything on this earth is capable of improvement. Every defeat
can become the father of a subsequent victory, every lost war the
cause of a later resurgence, every hardship the fertilization of
human energy, and from every oppression the forces for a new
spiritual rebirth can comes as long as the blood is preserved pure.
The lost purity of the blood alone destroys inner happiness
forever, plunges man into the abyss for all time, and the
consequences can never more be eliminated from body and spirit.
Only by examining and comparing all other problems of life in
the light of this one question shall we see how absurdly petty
they are by this standard. They are all limited in timebut the
question of preserving or not preserving the purity of the blood
will endure as long as there are men.
All really significant symptoms of decay of the preWar period
can in the last analysis be reduced to racial causes.
Whether we consider questions of general justice or cankers of
economic life, symptoms of cultural decline or processes of
political degeneration, questions of faulty schooling or the bad
influence exerted on grownups by the press, etc., everywhere
and always it is fundamentally the disregard of the racial needs
of our own people or failure to see a foreign racial menace.
And that is why all attempts at reform, all works for social relief
and political exertions, all economic expansion and every
apparent increase of intellectual knowledge were futile as far as
their results were concerned. The nation, and the organism which
enables l and preserves its life on this earth, the state, did not
grow inwardly healthier, but obviously languished more and
more. All the illusory prosperity of the old Reich could not hide
its inner weakness, and every attempt really to strengthen the
Reich failed again and again, due to disregarding the most
important question.
It would be a mistake to believe that the adherents of the various
political tendencies which were tinkering around on the German
national bodyyes, even a certain section of the leaderswere bad
or malevolent men in themselves. Their activity was condemned
to sterility only because the best of them saw at most the forms
of our general disease and tried to combat them, but blindly
ignored the virus. Anyone who systematically follows the old
Reich's line of political development is bound to arrive, upon
calm examination, at the realization that even at the time of the
unification, hence the rise of the German nation, the inner decay
was already in full swing, and that despite all apparent political
successes and despite increasing economic wealth, the general
situation was deteriorating from year to year. If nothing else, the
elections for the Reichstag announced, with their outward
swelling of the Marxist vote, the steadily approaching inward and
hence also outward collapse. All the successes of the socalled
bourgeois parties were worthless, not only because even with so
called bourgeois electoral victories they were unable to halt the
numerical growth of the Marxist flood, but because they
themselves above all now bore the ferments of decay in their
own bodies. Without suspecting it, the bourgeois world itself was
inwardly infected with the deadly poison of Marxist ideas and its
resistance often sprang more from the competitor's envy of
ambitious leaders than from a fundamental rejection of
adversaries determined to fight to the utmost. In these long years
there was only one who kept up an imperturbable, unflagging
fight, and this was the Jean His Star of David I rose higher and
higher in proportion as our people's will for selfpreservation
vanished.
Therefore, in August, 1914, it was not a people resolved to attack
which rushed to the battlefield; no, it was only the last flicker of
the national instinct of selfpreservation in face of the
progressing pacifistMarxist paralysis of our national body. Since
even in these days of destiny, our people did not recognize the
inner enemy, all outward resistance was in vain and Providence
did not bestow her reward on the victorious sword, but followed
the law of eternal retribution.
On the basis of this inner realization, there took form in our new
movement the leading principles as well as the tendency, which
in our conviction were alone capable, not only of halting the
decline of the German people, but of creating the granite
foundation upon which some day a state will rest which
represents, not an alien mechanism of economic concerns and
interests, but a national organism:
A German State of the German Nation
