The Public and the Press
“People who read can be put into three groups:
First, those who believe everything they read.
Second, those who have reached the point where they no longer believe anything they read.
Third, those who critically examine what they read, and pass judgment accordingly.
Of course, the first group is by far the greatest. The masses form it—they actually believe everything offered to them! The press has limitless control over these people, which is of advantage if their enlightenment is in the hands of truth-lovers, but it is ruinous when in the hands of crooks and liars.
Thus the state must watch the press with ceaseless vigilance, and must never be fooled by idle talk about ‘freedom of the press’—instead the state ruthlessly must use the press for the service of the state and nation.”
Mein Kampf—Chapter X
The same child who is angered by the ridiculous pacifist is eager to sacrifice his young life for the ideal of his nationality.
Jew—
Extreme Racist? …
Thus it can be seen how the instinct of racial self-preservation, a fundamental law of nature, is opposed to the cowardly and egotistical pacifist; for the real man is ready to give up individual interest for the sake of his race.
The Jew is the extreme opposite of the Aryan.
The instinct of racial self-preservation is strong among the Hebrew people—that is proved by the way they have resisted racial change in the last two thousand years.
Or—
Extremely Selfish?
Yet among the Jews idealism, the first requisite of culture, is utterly lacking. The Jew does not possess the will to sacrifice beyond the interests of the individual.
Jews unite only when forced to by a common danger, or when pursuing some common prey; at all other times egotism rules and they become rats waging a battle of gore among themselves.
If the Jews were alone in this world, they would commit mass suicide battling each other in their own filth. Of course, their lack of all knowledge of what self-sacrifice means, would be expressed in cowardice, which would make this internecine warfare rank comedy.
- (Note that just three paragraphs ago Hitler declares that the Jews have the “instinct of racial self preservation” to a great degree. But then he immediately contradicts himself, here denouncing the Jews because they “unite only when forced to by a common danger or when pursuing some common prey.” He scorns them because “at all other times egotism rules”.)
It is because of the selfishness of the individual Jew that the Jewish “state”—and remember that a state is supposed to be the living organism for the preservation of a race—knows no territorial frontiers. This explains why the Jewish people are without any true civilization, especially one of their own.
There never has been—and there is not today—any Jewish art. Particularly the two Queens of Art, architecture and music, owe nothing at all that is original to Jewry. Whatever they have achieved in the great field of art is either degenerate, or else it has been stolen from some non-Jew. The Jew lacks the necessary qualities.
- (No music composed by the Jew Mendelssohn may be played in Nazi Germany, probably because if it was it would be enough to destroy this theory. It was found impossible to stop Germans from singing the Jew Heinrich Heine’s famous, beloved Rhine song, “Lorelei”; but now printed copies say, beneath the title, “Author Unknown.”)
The Jew is often found in one particular field of art, acting—but there, again, he is a parasite, in other words a copying monkey.
- (After Hitler grabbed Austria, the people of that country—and of all the world—were deprived of the great annual Salzburg Festivals, for the genius who directed them, Max Reinhardt, was a Jew and therefore no longer physically safe in this Nazi territory.)
The Jew’s intellect, totally unconscious of the possibility of man’s potential development toward a higher sphere, is destructive, never constructive. All progress of man takes place not through the Jew, but in spite of him.
- (The Jew Albert Einstein, who made the mistake of developing the “destructive” theory of relativity, is a refugee in America from Nazi Germany.)
Since the Jew has never possessed his own territorial state, and no culture, it has become widely believed that he is a “nomad”—this is a serious mistake, a dangerous one. The nomad possesses his own bounded territory, but instead of settling down in any particular spot, he wanders about with his herd, perhaps because the soil where he exists is not fertile; the real cause lies in the difference between the technical achievements of any age and the soil upon which those achievements are made.
It must not be forgotten that after the discovery of the American continent, many Aryans battled for life as trappers, huntsmen, etc.—often in quite large groups which included women and children—wandering about in such a way that their existence was similar to that of nomads. Only when greater numbers and technically superior equipment allowed them to clear the wilderness and resist the aborigines, did settlements arise throughout the land.
The Aryan was probably a nomad at the very first, but after a time he settled down, and for this reason he was never a Jew! No, the Jew is not a nomad—he is a parasite upon the body of other peoples. It is not to be thought that he is a nomad because sometimes he suddenly leaves his dwelling place—he does this simply because he is thrown out by his abused hosts. The Jew does not consider leaving the occupied territory; he is content to sit there, a sponger. He spreads elsewhere only if he spies exceedingly rare pickings.
- (Germans, Italians, Irish, English, Slavs, etc., are as widely scattered throughout the world as are the Jews.)
Thus the Jew builds his “state” always in the state of another people, masking it as a religious community until he thinks himself strong enough to discard his protective covering, and then people suddenly see what previously they had refused to see or believe: the real Jew.
- (Here Hitler conveniently overlooks the fact that precisely because the Jews have no country of their own, they do not menace the country in which they live by clamoring for a return to any “Fatherland.” Hitler’s main technique of aggression against peaceful states has been to whip German minorities into a frenzied desire to return “home”—they cry for the Fatherland’s “protection”. “Protection” comes in the form of a German conquest of the country in which they live—as happened in the case of Czechoslovakia.
- (Possessing no mother country, the Jews can never cause such trouble for their hosts. Their efforts to built a National Home in Palestine menace no other state.)
The Great Master
Of Lying
It is the Jew’s life as a parasite, a life dependent upon falsehood, which caused Schopenhauer to state that the Jew is the “great master of lying”. The first lie I have already mentioned, namely, the Jew’s pretense that he is a member of a “religious community” and not of a peculiar race. Thus some people really believe that the Jew is really a Frenchman, an Englishman, an Italian or a German—and merely of a different religious belief.
The Jew, lacking all idealism, devoid of faith in the Hereafter, has not the talents necessary for the creation or possession of a religious institution. The Talmud is a practical guide to material prosperity in this world, and has nothing to do with preparation for the Hereafter.
- (This is an absolutely false summation of the Talmud, which has much to say in support of the belief in immortality.)
The Jew lives for this world, and his spirit is today anti-Christian just as much as it was demonstrated to be 2000 years ago to the Holy Founder of the new faith. He did not hide his attitude toward the Jews, and with whips drove out of the Lord’s temple this enemy of mankind who saw in religion only a way to good business. Of course Christ was crucified for this, and yet now our present Christian parties beg for Jew votes, and so prepare their own ruination.
- (The Nazis indignantly deny that Christ could possibly have been a Jew!)
The Jew has followed this original lie about his “religion” with more lies needed in consequence of this first one. The Jew uses language not to express his thoughts, but to mask them. He may speak French, but he is thinking Jewishly, and when he dribbles poetry in the German language he is really expressing the nature of his own race.
- (This has been elaborated upon by the newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung, which Hitler attacked in the last chapter for its pre-Nazi “decency”. On April 26, 1933, thoroughly Nazified, this paper, which was once one of the greatest in Europe, said, “A Jew can only think Jewish. When he writes German he lies!”)
As long as the Jew is a parasite, he must use the language of the people to which he has poisonously attached himself; but let the world become enslaved to the Jews, and a universal language would be installed to make simpler domination—for instance, Esperanto!
Greatest proof of the nature of the Jew lies in the “Protocols of Zion”, supposedly so abhorred by the Jews. The Frankfurter Zeitung sobs once a week that these are “forgeries”—and this in itself is undeniable proof that they are genuine.
What some Jews may do only unconsciously is in the “Protocols of Zion” consciously demonstrated. To examine the history of the past few hundred years in the light of this book is at once to understand the Jewish press.
- (The Protocols of Zion purport to be the minutes of a meeting of Jewish leaders held in 1897, at which they outlined a plot to destroy civilization and enslave the world under Jewish rule. They are actually copied word for word—except for the substitution of the word Jew—from a French political polemic of the 1860’s, which had nothing whatever to say about Jews.)
The first Jews came to Germany ahead of the Romans, of course as tradesmen. The Judaization of Central and Northern Europe began with the creation of the first Germanic state.
The Jew slowly fastens his grip upon the state he has chosen to live upon, and eventually he is found bubbling with “enlightenment”, “progress”, “freedom”, “humanity”, etc.—but always he strictly keeps pure his race. Now and then he may attach his women to influential Christians, but he keeps his male line unviolated. He poisons Christian blood, but jealously guards his own. The Jew will not marry a Christian woman; but the Christian marries a Jewess. Yet the bastard is Jewish. Our nobility particularly debases itself in this way.
The Jewish talons are fastened everywhere; through the stock exchange he wriggles his way into national economic life, and becomes the master of national business and trade. The Jew deprives factories of the basis of personal ownership, and becomes the owner, or at least the ruthless controller, of the laboring force of the nation, and then provokes class warfare.
The final goal of the Jew is the victory of “democracy”, because it destroys personality—substituting for it the power of the moronic, incompetent, cowardly majority.
- (This is what the dictator’s state attempts to do. Hitler has already carefully described how the “moronic, incompetent, cowardly” masses are to be captured with clever lie-propaganda.)
The gigantic economic development leads to rigid social classifications, small craftsmen die away, and the workers chance to earn an independent livlihood is destroyed. He now becomes a “factory worker” and his life depends upon the factory where he works—he is without property, so that his old age is tortured.
Then the system of pensions is inaugurated—and so an entire class remains without property, but is kept in the totality of the people.
The worker is driven to lower and lower depths, until the one-time respect for the handicrafts is turned into contempt for physical work. A lowly, scorned class is created.
But this new group includes not the worst element of the people, but the most energetic—for here the foppish refinements of so-called civilization has not yet gotten in its destructive work.
This great mass was in most part not yet struck by the poison of pacifist weakness—it was robust, and brutal when brutality was required.
Reason and
Frenzy
While the bourgeoisie ignores all this, the Jew fastens upon the limitless potentialities of this situation. On the one hand he organizes capitalistic methods of ruthless human exploitation, and then he injects himself among the masses as a leader of their battle against himself. To say “against himself” is of course only to speak figuratively, for the Jew is really preparing the worst betrayal of all time.
This is the way the Jew proceeds:
He pretends to pity the worker in order to gain his confidence. He awakens in the worker a longing for improvement of his lot. Slyly, he awakens the sense of social justice, dormant (sic) in every single Aryan, until it flares into hatred for the more fortunate, thus creating a desire for reform. He forms the Marxist idea.
This Marxist doctrine is an inseparable mixture of reason and frenzy, prepared in such a way that only the lunacy, and never the reason, can become fact.
Denying personality, and thus nation and race too, it systematically destroys the very foundations of human civilization.
The destruction of personality, nation, and race which this is intended to bring about removes the only barrier to domination of the world by the inferior man—the Jew.
The Captured
Press
While the workers are prepared to play their part in this Jew plot, the “intelligentsia” is reached by Free-
