“The Jewish people is my homeland. Wherever Jews live, there I am at home. And Zionism is the highest expression of the Jewish people's will to endure. I am a Zionist because I am a Jew. Zionism is integral to Judaism as I understand it.”

“The Holocaust,” Zionism, and American Judaism
"The persecutions [in Spain] of 1391 and the mass conversions which followed brought an important change. Some of the Conversos were able to use the act of baptism to climb to high positions in the financial administration: examples are Luis de la Cavalleria, chief treasurer under John II of Aragon, Luis Sanchez, royal bailiff of the kingdom of Aragon c. 1490), and his brother Gabriel Sanchez, who was treasurer-general. Under Henry IV of Castile (1454-74) Diego Arias de Avila was the king's secretary and auditor of the royal accounts; in spite of Diego's unpopularity, his son Pedro succeeded him. Even Isabella the Catholic depended on the financial advice of the Jew Abraham Senior, from 1476 chief tax-gatherer in Castile, and Isaac Abrabanel, who after having been the banker of Alfonso V of Portugal served as the queen's private financial agent and loaned her a considerable sum for the war against Granada. The Converso Luis de Santangel, chancellor and comptroller of the royal household and great-grandson of the Jew Noah Chinillo, loaned Isabella money to finance Columbus' expedition to America."

1694 | The Bank of England is chartered as the sole purchasing agent for highly-profitable British government annuities, originally issued to finance the war-debts resulting from the Glorious Revolution. Not only does the Bank collect 8% interest on the notes, but the annuities themselves are treated as deposits secured by the Crown, so that the money can be loaned out a second time, allowing the Bank to collect interest twice on the same capital investment. |
1709 | New York issues its first bills of credit. |
1714 | The Bank of Massacheussets is founded. According to the original documents: "A Model for Erecting a Bank of Credit in Boston Founded on Land Security." |
1715 | Rhode Island land banks begin issuing bills of credit on loan. According to leading period historian John MacInnes, "The key to understanding Rhode Island's currency policy up to 1750, is that it was in fact a parasitical device." |
1717 | George I, the Hanoverian King of England, establishes the Grand Lodge of St. John (the Pretender), of which the British Crown is to be the titular head. This completes the conquest of the British Throne by the money powers. |

1776 | Adam Weishaupt, a.k.a. Spartacus (after the leader of the Roman slave rebellion) and Baron de Kalb organize the Illuminati as a remote arm of the Chabrath Zerek Aour Bokhr. See the Great Seal on the dollar bill: "It smiles upon thy work ... a New Order of the Ages." |
1776 | American Revolutionary War begins. Haym Salomon raises large amounts of desperately needed cash for the Revolution by negotiating bills of exchange with France and the Netherlands. The Continental Congress appoints him "Broker to the Office of Finance of the United States". The French consulate appoints him "Treasurer of the French Army in America". Madame Helvetius, widow of the French Freemasonic leader and financier, introduces Benjamin Franklin to various European moneylenders. Yet another figure who helped finance the war was Isaac Moses, later among the founders of the Bank of New York. |

In the course of his campaigns across Europe, Napoleon will replace the feudal kingdoms that he conquers with new republics, and the Jews are set free from the restrictions of the ghetto which had been placed upon their race. Napoleon is still honored today as the "Emancipator of the Jews". |
1798 | Jews become prominent in the Jeffersonian Democratic Party. Solomon Simpson becomes vice-president of the party. |
1799 | Illuminist Aaron Burr organizes the Manhattan Company and obtains his famous "trick charter" for the bank in New York. He purposely creates a politically diverse board of directors in the hopes of manipulating the several factions to his own ends. |
1799 | Marching on Palestine in April, during his Oriental Campaign against Britain, Napoleon issues the “Israel Arise” Proclamation, inviting the Jews to Return to Zion under his flag and establish their Kingdom of New Jerusalem.

1799 | Napoleon proclaims himself Emperor of the Republic of France. |
1799 | In Europe, the spectacular rise of the House of Rothschild begins when the fleeing Elector of Hesse-Cassel entrusts his fortune to Mayer Amschel, who becomes the underground financier to the British, Prussian, Austrian and Russian campaigns against Napoleon.

1815 | Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. |
1820 | (circa) German Jews begin to arrive in America in the wake of the Napoleonic wars. They are not fleeing persecution, but rather seeking their fortune. Even at this date, there are still more Jews in the British and Dutch West Indies than in North America, perhaps 6,000 as opposed to 4,000 here, virtually all of them Sephardic. |
1823 | The Monroe Doctrine is proclaimed. An interesting example of telescopic diplomacy, it curbed European "colonization" of the Americas, but did nothing to protect us from being colonized by the Jews. Neither did it prevent Mexicans, Cubans, Haitians, Chinese and other such ilk from colonizing us. |
1829 | Alleged Illuminati meeting in New York to unite atheists and nihilists into the socialist movement. |
1829 | The Anti-Masonic political party is created by Gentiles Henry Dana Ward, Thurlow Weed, and William H. Seward. (Illuminati?) The same who later founded the Republican Party. |
1829 | An English Gentile woman, Frances Fanny Wright, comes to New York in 1829 to give a series of lectures promoting the Women's Auxiliary of the Illuminati.

Clinton Roosevelt (an ancestor of FDR), Gentile Charles Dana and Abolitionist leader Horace Greeley are appointed to raise funds for this new undertaking. |
1831 | British emancipation of the West Indies. In America, Nat Turner brutally murders 57 whites, mostly women and children, with a blunt saber and an axe. |
1833 | Britain passes the Slavery Abolition Act, banning negro slavery throughout the British Empire. “White” children in England are exempted, so that they can crawl naked up the chimneys of Parliament to clean out the soot.

1835 | Karl Marx organizes the League of the Just, a Communist secret society, in Paris. |
1837 | Joseph Seligman arrives in America at the age of 17, and sends for his ten brothers to come and join him. He will become the major underwriter of Union government bonds during the Civil War. |

1844 | Heinrich Lehman arrives in America, is joined by his brothers Emanuel and Mayer. Later become known as Lehman Brothers, world's largest commodities brokers. |
1846 | The Breslau Conference in Germany, an assembly of rabbis interested in reform, declares Jewish women entitled to the same religious rights and subject to the same religious duties as men. |
1848 | Karl Marx publishes the Communist Manifesto, allegedly commissioned by the Illuminati through Frederich Engels. |
1848 | A wave of Illuminist-inspired socialist and communist revolts sweeps through Europe. For the most part, they are unsuccessful, and many “forty-eighters” emigrate to the United States. A disproportionate number of them are Jews. August Bundi, a “forty-eighter” from Vienna, later joins with John Brown in the actions at Black Jack and Osawatomie. |
1850 | Ernestine Potovsky Rose (1810-1892), the first American Jewish feminist, assists in organizing the National Women's Rights Convention in Massachusetts. |
1850 | Radical feminists hold the American Women's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, New York, and formalize their campaign for women's property rights, suffrage, and divorce law reform. They also decide to join forces with the Abolitionist and socialist movements. |
1850 | Due to the German Jewish emigration, there are now over 16,000 Jews in New York City, 6,000 in Philadelphia and 4,000 in Baltimore. By now, Jews are so active in New York City politics that Democratic party leaders make it a point to attend Jewish social and charitable events. |
1851 | Isaac Singer perfects the sewing machine. A close network of Jewish clothiers in New York, Cincinnati, Syracuse, Rochester, Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston win government contracts for uniforms; they are later appointed clothiers for the Union army. Within a decade, the ready-to-wear clothing industry will become a Jewish monopoly. This will help secure the retailing industry as their next monopoly. |
1852 | The first Jewish hospital in America, Jew's Hospital, is established in New York and later renamed Mt. Sinai Hospital. |
1852 | Karl Marx is hired as European correspondent for Gentile Illuminist Horace Greeley's New York Daily Tribune, the premier Abolitionist publication with circulation of nearly 1,000,000. |

1859 | Isaac Leeser and associates establish the Board of Delegates of American Israelites in Philadelphia, modeled after the British organization. Notwithstanding the board's far-ranging statement of purposes -- educational, spiritual, cultural -- everyone understood that it was essentially a Jewish defense organization, maintaining a permanent branch lobby in Washington. |
1859 | Jewish Abolitionist George Luther Stearns and the “Secret Six” finance John Brown's bungled raid on Harper's Ferry Arsenal. |
1860 | August Belmont, self-proclaimed agent for the House of Rothschild, becomes Treasurer of the Democratic Party. |
1860 | Jews Moritz Pinner of Missouri and Louis Dembitz of Kentucky are two of the three delegates who place Abraham Lincoln in nomination at the 1860 Republican Convention. Lincoln is behind Seward in the first two ballots, and wins by a political decision. Lincoln later wins the presidency with only 40% of the popular vote, the beneficiary of a 3-way split in the Democratic party. Engineered by the Jew Belmont? |
1861 | B'nai B'rith lodges are active in every major Jewish community in America. |
1861 | American Civil War begins. Jewish Illuminist Gen. Pierre Beuaregard commands Confederate guns to open fire on Fort Sumter. Jewish Illuminist Judah P. Benjamin is appointed attorney-general of the Confederacy, later to serve as Secretary of War and then as Secretary of State. After the war, he flees to England and becomes a prominent barrister. |
1861 | On the last business day of 1861, the New York banks suspend payments in coin, claiming they had used up their specie [gone to the Rothschilds, Seligmans, Warburgs & Speyers]. The Union is bankrupt, and the war is costing $2,000,000 per day. |
1862 | Lincoln signs the U.S. Treasury Act on Feb. 25, declaring U.S. Treasury notes legal tender, and providing for a bond issue of $500,000,000 at 5.20 percent to finance the war. The interest is to be paid in coin obtained by a duty on imports. The use of greenbacks is mandatory. The Act makes it illegal for citizens to use specie -- gold and silver coin -- in their transactions. Guess where the gold went. |
1862 | J.W. Seligman & Co. are the chief underwriters of U.S. Treasury bonds. They are also leading syndicators for the stock and bond issues needed to finance the massive railroad construction and wartime industrial expansion. |
1862 | In Germany, Moses Hess (1812-1875) writes Rome and Jerusalem, [i.e. America and Israel] an early argument for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. |
1862 | In the shifting line of battle through Tennessee and Mississippi, Memphis becomes the hub of the black market trade in cotton, a traffic that was carried on throughout the entire area penetrated by the Union army. Virtually every report on the black market made specific mention of Jewish traders. On Dec. 17 General Grant issues his Order No. 11, denouncing Jewish “cotton speculators” and other war-profiteers. |
1862 | Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation. It only applies to negroes in the rebellious states, but negroes in Norfolk and Portsmouth, Virginia, and New Orleans in Louisiana -- Southern ports recently captured by the Union -- are exempted. They are obviously needed as dock labor and stooges to pack the stolen contraband being looted out of the South. Any war-profiteering interest here? |
1863 | Abolitionist leader George Luther Sterns recruits and equips the 54th Massachussets Infantry, the first negro regiment in the Union army. He is appointed Assistant Adjutant-general for the Recruitment of Colored Troops. |
1863 | Solomon Gump arrives in San Francisco to work in his brother's mirror shop. He builds Gump & Co. into the leading luxury importers, catering to the noveau riche of the California Gold Rush. How much of this finery was pillage from the South? |
1864 | The highest-ranking of eight Jewish generals in the Union Army, Hungarian-born Major General Frederick Kneffler rides with Sherman on his rampage through Georgia and the Carolinas. With a remarkably undistinguished battlefield record to account for his high rank, Kneffler's responsibilities were surely in non-military affairs. |
1865 | There are now about 4,000 Jews in San Francisco, monopolizing the clothing, fur and dry goods trade, especially jewelry, crockery, shoes and soap. Virtually all of the merchants in the city are Jews. |
1865 | The 13th Amendment is illegally “ratified”. The Confederacy is defeated, martial law continues under Lincoln and Johnson. |
1866 | Negro race riots occur in Memphis, New Orleans and 3 other Southern cities; interestingly, these cities are all hubs in the black market of looted goods. |
1866 | The Ku Klux Klan is organized on May 6 in Pulaski, Tennessee. Interestingly, Judah P. Benjamin, the former Confederate leader who has meanwhile fled to England (back under the Rothschild skirts, where he becomes a prominent barrister), later borrows money which he donates to the Klan -- in a strangely convoluted transaction. Was he trying to buy his way in, or somehow set a hook? If so, he failed. |
1867 | The radical Republican Congress passes three bills over President Andrew Johnson's veto. All whites who had in any way supported the Confederacy were disfranchised, the reconstruction governments created under Lincoln and Johnson's plans were abolished and martial law reinstated. Puppet governments are set up by the Freedmen's Bureau, with the aid of military governors and the Union League; negro militia roam at will; only negroes, carpetbaggers and scalawags are allowed to vote or to hold office. |
1867 | The firm Kuhn, Netter, Loeb and Wolff, “Bankers and Brokers”, open shop in New York, discounting and reselling the promissory notes of merchants and small businessmen, financing the trade in pawned and looted goods. Later become Kuhn, Loeb & Company. |
1867 | Radical Republican Congress secures its control over the Army of Occupation by passing the Tenure in Office Act (requiring 2/3 Senate vote to remove a Cabinet official) to protect Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, who had cooperated with the Union League and the Radical Reconstructionists. The Congress also passes the Command of the Army Act, and threatens the Supreme Court with disbandment should they interfere. The Supreme Court relinquishes jurisdiction over all Reconstruction cases. |
1868 | The Fourteenth Amendment is illegally “ratified”. |
1870 | Alliance Israelite Universelle, started in Paris to defend the civil rights of Jews worldwide, establishes an agricultural school, Mikveh Israel, near Jaffa in Palestine. |
1870 | The Fifteenth Amendment is illegally “ratified”. |
1871 | Adolph Lewisohn, who had come to America in 1867, meets Thomas Edison and perceives the importance of copper. Lewisohn and his brother buy a copper mine in Butte, Montana, for $75,000. |
1873 | Leopold Damrosch, choral director of the Temple Emanu-El, founds the New York Symphonic Society, predecessor of the New York Philharmonic. He becomes principal conductor of the newly-formed Metropolitan Opera. |
1876 | Felix Adler, brother-in-law to Louis Brandeis, founds the Society for Ethical Culture, funded by John D. Rockefeller. This is the beginning of the Humanist movement organized as a church (and a university). It soon jumps back to Britain. Meanwhile, in America, virtually all of the Society's board members are Jews. Spin-off organizations will include the NAACP, the ACLU, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the Anti-Imperialist League. |
1877 | The last elements of the Ku Klux Klan are disbanded as a result of the Compromise of 1877. Among the conditions of disbandment are passage of Posse Comitatus, barring the military from ever enforcing civil law again. Reconstruction and military occupation are officially ended, and South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida are at last readmitted to the Union. |
1877 | Reports confirm that almost half the Jewish population in Jerusalem is supported by overseas charity. |
1878 | Methodist minister William E. Blackstone publishes Jesus is Coming, an exposition of the widespread “dispensationalist pre-millennialist” Christian teaching that the Jews must return to the Holy Land before Jesus' Second Coming can occur. Christian fundamentalists unwittingly embrace the Zionist cause. |
1880 | The Jewish population in America is now 210,000. |
1881 | Czar Alexander II is assassinated by revolutionaries. This sets off a series of anti-Jewish pogroms throughout the Pale of Settlement in Eastern Europe. |

1883 | Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) publishes The Jewish Problem, in which she calls for the establishment of an independent Jewish nationality in Palestine. |
1886 | The “Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World” is dedicated in New York harbor, a gift of France to the United States. Was this a “thank you” for taking in the Jews (and sparing France)? It holds a tablet bearing the inscription “1776” cradled in its arm, and Zionist Jewess Emma Lazarus' poem The New Colossus is engraved on its pedestal. |
1886 | The National Education Association (NEA) is founded. |
1888 | Isaac Magnin, an early employee of Solomon Gump, opens I. Magnin & Co., San Francisco's quality department store. Louis Sloss is another San Francisco department store tycoon, who becomes a silent partner in innumerable mercantile and real estate ventures. |
1889 | William Blackstone founds the American Messianic Fellowship (AMF), an organization of Christian Zionists. |
1889 | The American Ethical Union is composed of all Ethical Culture Societies and Fellowships in the United States. The organization of the Felix Adler's humanist “New Age” church is nearly complete. |
1890 | Oscar Hammerstein, grandfather of the Broadway songwriter, constructs the Columbus Theater and hires vaudeville stars and popular amusements. He soon builds seven more theaters and the Manhattan Opera House. |
1891 | The Blackstone Memorial is issued, a document signed by 413 leading Christian politicians, businessmen and citizens, petitioning President Harrison and Secretary Blaine to intercede with Queen Victoria of England, Czar Alexander III of Russia and Sultan Abdul Hamid II of Turkey to hold an international conference aimed at establishing a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The plea is rejected by the Diaspora Jews! |
1891 | Jurisdiction over U.S. immigration is transferred from state to federal officials. |
1891 | Cyrus Scofield submits his notes for a Bible Concordance to members of the New York Lotus Club for funding. His offer is accepted by Samuel Untermayer and other prominent Zionist financiers. |

1892 | The New York College for the Training of Teachers receives its permanent charter as Columbia's Teacher's College. |
1893 | Florenz Zigfeld embarks on his career at the World's Columbian Exposition by importing acts from Europe for the main production. |
1895 | Rosa Sonneschein (1847-1932) founds the first English-language feminist journal in the United States. |
1895 | Aaron Nusbaum purchases a 50% stake in Sears, Roebuck & Company for $75,000. He later sells his interest to Julius Rosenwald, his brother-in-law, who completes the takeover with help of his boyhood friend, Henry Goldman of Goldman, Sachs & Co. |
1896 | Adolph Ochs, backed by August Belmont and J.P. Morgan, buys the New York Times. |
1896 | In response to the Dreyfus Affair, Theodor Herzl (1860-1904) writes The Jewish State: An Attempt at a Modern Solution of the Jewish Question, the publication marking the beginning of political Zionism. |
1897 | Theodor Herzl organizes the World Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland. In November of the same year, the thirteen New York Choveve Zion branches and other American Zionist cells are joined in the Federation of American Zionists. |
1897 | Daniel DeLeon's Socialist Labor Party begins publishing Forverts. Within a decade, this will become the largest Yiddish newspaper in the world, eventually reaching a circulation of 200,000. |
1897 | The Gerstles, traders of Alaskan furs, touch off the Klondike Gold Rush when one of their steamers returns to San Francisco with $750,000 in newly-discovered Alaskan gold. |
1898 | The Lewisohns merge their holdings with Rockefeller interests of Standard Oil to create United Metals Smelting Company, which controls 55% of the copper produced in the United States. They attempt to create a cartel by merging independent copper producers into their newly-created subsidiary, American Smelting and Refining Company. John D. Rockefeller had overstepped his bounds and was about to be reprimanded. |
1898 | Having made their first fortune investing in Colorado lead and silver mines after the Civil War, the Guggenheim family now controls nearly half of the world's copper supply. Their huge conglomerate now includes Colorado Smelting and Refining, Kennecott Copper, Nevada Consolidated, Esperanza Gold (Mexico) and Chile Copper (Chile). Led by Daniel Guggenheim, they dump vast stocks of lead on the market, forcing staggering losses on American Smelting and Refining, and buy up the stock at bargain prices. The Guggenheim empire will soon stretch from the Yukon to Mexico, Bolivia and Chile to Angola and the Congo. Henceforth, Mr. Rockefeller learned to stay on his leash. |
1898 | Theodore Roosevelt, as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, jumps rank and issues the Order for Admiral Dewey to attack the Spanish Fleet in Manilla Bay. His “international banker” patrons are pleased, and a British fleet is standing-by offshore to guarantee an American victory. Within three years Roosevelt will be made President. In the wake of this “Hispanic” War, the United States extends its “protection” to cover the former Spanish colonies, including Cuba (whose citizens will someday become “refugees” by the simple act of setting foot on our soil), Puerto Rico (to whom Congress will grant U.S. “citizenship” with the 1917 Jones-Shafroth Act) and the Philippines (where a guerilla War will drag on for the next twenty years). |
1898 | The Anti-Imperialist League is founded by Villard and former Abolitionist leader William Lloyd Garrison. Organization is closely linked with the American Ethical Union. These Marxists quickly gain control of the Anti-War faction, causing war resistance to become confused with radical socialist ideology. It is a brilliant political gambit! The Populists (Nationalists) are repulsed into the opposing Pro-War Republican Party (which the Marxists had founded!); and this is handed-over to the international “Capitalists”! This is the beginning of modern “Conservativism”, where Nationalist sentiment is drowned out by business interest. Meanwhile, the Marxists who had left the Republican Party begin to infiltrate the (old Nationalist) Democratic Party, spearheaded by New York Jewish immigrants.

1909 | Bernard Gimbel opens his flagship department store in New York. Macy's (Lazarus Straus & family), Bloomingdale's, Altman's and Abraham Straus stores are already well-established; by this time, retail distribution has become a virtual Jewish monopoly. |
1910 | Emma Goldman (1869-1940), radical anarchist and writer, lectures in thirty-seven different cities on a six month speaking tour; she is later deported to Russia for her controversial stance on government. |

Or the Urban League and the NAACP. |

1917 | The Russian Revolution. Virtually all of the Bolshevik leaders are Jews. According to American counter-intelligence, Lenin and the Bolsheviks were receiving donations from Jacob Schiff, Guggenheim, Max Breitung, and Kuhn Loeb & Co.. One of the Russian revolution's most decisive consequences was the support it ensured for United States entrance into World War I. The two events were separated by less than a month. |
1917 | On April 6, the United States enters World War I to “make the world safe for democracy.” Within a week, British Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann writes to Louis Brandeis, the American Zionist leader, disclosing the status of the proposed Balfour Declaration, committing America and Britain to support of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Communications regarding the Declaration go directly from the British Foreign Office to Louis Brandeis, by-passing both President Wilson and the U.S. State Department.

In honor of the occasion, the Zionist flag was raised over Philadelphia's Independence Hall. The pro-Zionist and Jewish nationalist formulas are hammered out by the new Congress similarly reflect the thrilling impact of the Balfour Declaration. |
1919 | The 18th Amendment (Prohibition) is passed empowering the Volstead Act. Some say it, too, was illegal, but who is keeping count anymore?

He joins forces with Meyer Lansky and “Waxy” Gordon (Irving Wexler) to become the major liquor distributor in the United States. |
1919 | Jews make up 13% of the student body at Yale, nearly 25% at the University of Pennsylvania, 20% at Brown, 20% at Harvard, 40% at Columbia, and yet the ADL screams that “anti-semitism” is keeping them out. Yeesh! |

1924 | The Immigration and Nationalities Act is passed, containing a national origins quota system. This protected the national demography by regulating immigration according to the existing racial-ethnic makeup of the United States, i.e. northwestern European heritage. This was the greatest achievement of the Ku Klux Klan of the period and its affiliates. Jewish migration to the United States drops from 150,000 per year to barely 10,000. The national origins quota system remained in force until the Act was amended in 1965. That's twice we were saved by the Klan, for a while. |

Each sends his results to their colleague Lise Meitner, who is staying in Stockholm. Working with Otto Frisch and Niels Bohr, she correctly surmises that they have achieved atomic fission. The Atomic Bomb is predicted to be operational in six years time! All of the atomic scientists involved are Jews, working under the Nazi's noses. And they wouldn't do it to us. |
