Gustav Meyrink (1868-1932) Prophesied Gulf Apocalypse

In 1903, Austrian banker, writer and occultist Gustav Meyrink (left, 1868-1932) wrote a novella, "Petroleum, Petroleum", part of a collection of short stories, which featured this Preface:
"To assure priority of this prophecy, I state that the following novella has been written in 1903. Gustav Meyrink".
The novella tells the story of Dr. Jessegrim who has made a fortune in the mescaline business.
He decides to go into oil.
All of Mexico was standing on caves which were partly at least filled with petroleum, and connected with each other. Jessegrim resolves to blast away the separations between the caves. After the last detonation, the oil was to flow from the underground deposit in Mexico into the ocean and form a glass surface, which continues to grow, taken by the gulf stream, soon covering the entire Atlantic surface. The coasts were barren and the population retreated into the interior of the land.
Instead of being arrested, in Meyrink's story, Jessegrim is hired as a consultant. He says: "If the oil continues to spill as it does, it will have covered the oceans of the world in 27 to 29 weeks and there will be no more rains, ever, as water can not evaporate anymore. At best, it will rain petroleum."
First widely criticized, this prophecy (of Dr. Jessegrim) becomes increasingly plausible as the hidden flow does not stop, and when it increases dramatically, panic grips humanity.
Cable from USA to EU: "Oil leaks increase constantly. Situation extremely dangerous. Advise immediately whether stink there is also unbearable".
In Meyrink's occult circles, they were fantasizing about oil reserves gushing into the ocean, from the Gulf of Mexico, covering the oceans.
They postulated that an oil reservoir released into the oceans would be an apocalypse and possibly destroy the entire earth. It would start with a huge explosion. The culprit (a Dr. No figure, "Dr. Jessegrim") is motivated by blind hate of humanity. He destroys humanity via a "wrath of god" - the oil catastrophe.
Unlike dystopian stories like "1984" by George Orwell or "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, who made no such claims, Meyrink called his story a "Prophecy". At the beginning of the story, he states quasi in notary fashion:
"To assure priority of this prophecy, I state that the following novella has been written in 1903. Gustav Meyrink".
With the discovery of his prophecy concerning the oil catastrophe in the Mexican Gulf, Meyrink could become posthumously famous in 2010. The best-known story of Meyrink is "The Golem" (1915), one of the Cabalistic treatments of the golem-saga where rabbis breathe life into a clay monster who vanquishes their enemies.
Meyrink ran a banking house between 1889 and 1902 and circulated his entire life in the occult world of Christian and Jewish mysticism, theosophy and alchemy.
He was a member of the very influential Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a British secret society active at the end of the 19th and in the early 20th century. Its members included the Satanist, occultist, Cabalist, magician Aleister Crowley, a Freemason of the Old and Accepted Order of the Scottish Rite. He called himself "The Great Beast 666". It means that Meyrink was frequenting circles which welcomed the Apocalypse, which is exactly what he describes in "Petroleum, Petroleum": An apocalypse. And a planned apocalypse.
Around 1900, the "magician and mystic" Aleister Crowley, in reality a drug-addicted megalomaniac, traveled to Mexico. It has always been known that, due to the lack of real magic, one had always to help things along, which is why the only real background of magic is illusion - the representation of magic.
Until now, every magician was really an illusionist, who interprets a natural event as magical. Or, an illusion as a natural event (see the attacks of 9-11). And while some developed an honest and entertaining art form out of this, others insisted on selling their illusions as real magic or natural phenomena.
Meyrink was frequenting such circles. Not only the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, but also the "Germania" lodge, the first lodge of the Theosophist Society. It was founded by (widely regarded con-woman) Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who also founded the magazine "Lucifer".
Meyrink eventually realized that the so-called "séances" for contacting ghosts from the other side were "almost entirely relying on tricks or self-deception".
One needs to point out that back then, people apparently fantasized about oil reserves spilling into the oceans, and doing so in the Gulf of Mexico.
Additionally, they believed this would become an apocalypse and could destroy the entire earth.
In Meyrink's story, the perpetrator is motivated by blind hatred of humanity: The destruction of the "crowd" was seen by Meyrink/Jessegrim as possible only through a "god-given scourge" - meaning, the oil apocalypse.
Evola presented in Italy two works of Meyrink (true name Meyer, the family name of his Jewish mother): 'Der weisse Domenikaner', and 'Der Engel vom weislicher Fenster', both published by the now shot down Edizioni del Gattopardo here. It is interesting to note that in all the successive Italian editions those prefaces disappeared...
---- Evola made reference to Meyrinks works in several places and puportedly recommended reading them.
In "The Path of Cinnaber" Evola writes about his examination of Magic in the modern world (pp 127 f):
"Part of my analysis was based on the crucial teachings of [...] Gustav Meyrink. The latter is the author of novels which reflect esoteric knowledge in an exceptionally pure fashion (for this reason, I was later to translate three of Meyrinks novels: Walpurgis Night, The White Dominican and the Angel of the West Window - which I published for Bocca uder a psedonym.)" This pseudonym was Gattopardo.
Excerpts of Meyrinks writings are also to be found in the Introduction into Magic ("The Path of Awakening According to Gustav Meyrink"). Even in The Doctrine of Awakening Meyrink is cited.
Meyrink was the illegitimate son of Baron Karl von Varnbüler. If his mother, the actress Maria Meyer was really jewish is uncertain and was denied by him. However, he repeatedly refers to jewish myths, e.g. the Golem and the Eternal Jew (in The Green Face).
- "Meyrink was the illegitimate son of Baron Karl von Varnbüler. If his mother, the actress Maria Meyer was really jewish is uncertain and was denied by him." He publicly denied it, as a response to the journalist A. Zimmermann who originally made this claim.
"Meyrink was opposed to World War One, which caused him to be denounced by German nationalists; the German "Völkisch" journalist Albert Zimmermann described Meyrink as "one of the cleverest and most dangerous opponents of the German nationalist ideal. He will influence-- and corrupt-- thousands upon thousands, just as Heine did". [5] During 1916 Des deutschen Spießers Wunderhorn was banned in Austria." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Meyrink)
His works would be banned during the Third Reich. - What is it that people find interesting about Meyrrink's novels ? Is it in "The Angel of the West Window" that the chemical affinities between the White woman and the Negroe are hinted at ?
"Meyrink was opposed to World War One, which caused him to be denounced by German nationalists" is a subtle way of implying that Germany, and, more precisely, German nationalists were responsible for WW1 - subtle, by journalistic standards.
As mentioned here a few years ago, the Masonic and Jewish background of WW1 was documented in Italy by 'La Vita Italiana', G. Preziosi's paper, in the 1930's. A few hints at the true forces responsible for WW1 are also given in 'Under the Sign of the Scorpion", by Lina J.
"It was revealed during the trial of Gavrilo Princip and Nedeko Cabrinovic, the assassins of Franz Ferdinand..., that the French Masonic organisation Grand Orient was behind the assassination plans, and not the Serbian nationalist organisation the Black Hand. This enormous provocation had been planned in Paris in 1912 at 16 rue Cadets, the headquarters of Grand Orient. N. Cabrinovic revealed in court how the Freemasons had sentenced Franz Ferdinand to death. He learned this from the freemason Ziganovic (it was he who gave the Jewish assassin Princip a Browning pistol).
Princip was also a freemason. The sentence was executed on the 28th of June 1914. Everything according to the stenographic report of the court published in Alfred Mousset's book 'L'attentat de Sarajevo', Paris, 1930. This information was later hushed up."
"The Austrian Freemason and Bolshevik Karl Radek (Tobiach Sobelsohn) also knew about this. (...). Radek knew Ziganovic personally from his time in Paris. He tried to reveal the secrets about the war during the trial against him in Moscow in 1937, but Stalin's lackey shut him up. He was not given another chance to speak and carried these secrets with him into the grave (Molodaya Gvardiya, n.2, 1991, p. 121)." (Ibid.)
"'Peiewische Vordle' wrote on the 13th of January 1919 : "The international Jewry... believed it necessary to force Europe into the war so that a new Jewish era could begin throughout the world.""
"The periodical 'British Israel Truth' stated in 1906 : "We must prepare our-selves for big changes in a Great War which faces the peoples of Europe.""
"Litman Rosenthal explained in the newspaper 'American Jews' News' on the 19th of September 1919 that the First World War was brought about through the intrigues of the Jews and that all this was planned in Basel as early as 1903. The rabbi Reichborn in the periodical 'Le Contemporain' proves that those plans were far-reaching on the 1st of July 1880 : "We shall force the goyim into a war by exploiting their pride, arrogance and stupidity. They will tear each other into pieces. They will force each other out of their countries, which we shall then be able to give to our people.""
"Karl Heise published the British freemasons' map of Europe from 1888. The map presented the new national borders of Europe, which became reality after the First World War."
"In the newspaper Truth, December 1890, a map was published that depicted the borders of Europe, which became reality in 1919. Three empires were gone. This was published as a satire : "Look what the opponents of the Freemasons have come up with!" But in 1919, nobody was laughing any more."
'A Century of War, Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order', by F.W. Engdahl (http://www.scribd.com/doc/15679866/William-Engdahl-A-Century-of-War-rev-ed-2004-Synopsis) and 'Britain Was Responsible for WWI, WWII & the Holocaust' (available in full at books.google.com), by P.W. Campbell, are also worth reading.
- The only thing I find interesting about Meyrink's novels is his insight into the Jewish soul.In the Golem, the Hebrew who frames him and puts him in prison is an amazing character.The Golem itself, as far as I am concerned, is the 'extended phenotype' of Judaism, that is, a psychic monster created to destroy the world of anyone who stands in the way of the tribe, or as they call it nowadays "The Samson option."In a previous message I posted, either to this group or the other Evola group (I forgot), called "Another Golem bites the dust" is what I meant by this, Meyrink was implied of course.

Fascinating to see this come up here, I originally posted the essay to scribd after making the connection the other year. These insights into Meyrink are appreciated.
-Stephen - Since the jews never got the lands in question, then got their own land, the plan must have failed (or is this too much to say?) or changed?

Who do you think Germany, France, Italy, England, etc. are currently - let us not say 'ruled' - managed by ?

- From the correspondence between R. Guénon and J. Evola:
"There are certainly cases in which an influence of the counter-initiation is quite visible, and among them, it is necessary to include those in which traditional information is present in a manner of a willful parody; this is above all Meyrink's case, something that, well intended, does not mean that he was perforce conscious of the influence that was exercised over him. Here is why I am amazed that you seem to have a certain esteem in regard to Meyrink, and all the more than he had besides belonged to Bo Yin Ra's movement, for which you clearly had no regard."

- Other than in that letter to J. Evola, whose answer, thanks to the many daughters of R. Guénon and their offspring, will not be made public, we are not aware of any writings by him about G. Meyrink.
If a member of this forum has managed to read a novel by G. Meyrink in his entirety, we would be glad to hear his 'impressions'.
Speaking of parody, those who can read French will benefit from the reading of 'La propriété et la communauté des biens depuis l'antiquité jusqu'à nos jours' by Dom Isoard, which traces the history of an illusion that emerged in Graeco-Roman Antiquity under the influence of Semitic beliefs, and that has been popularised lately under the name of 'New World Order' : the community of property introduced in Acts 2.44-45 and overtly preached by the Church from the times of the Church Fathers to the Renaissance.
The author, Dom Isoard, was as well versed in the writings of the Church Fathers and in the ecclesiastical literature as those who claim to fight the 'New World Order' - and, therefore, the Negrification and Arabisation of our occupied continent under Jewish auspices - in the name of Judeo-Christian values would be well advised to be. One of the chapters deals with one of the authors who throughout the centuries contributed to the spread of this deadly illusion : Campanella, the author of 'The City of the Sun', a book which was given a patent of traditionalism by R. Guénon in 'The King of the World'.
'La propriété et la communauté des biens depuis l'antiquité jusqu'à nos jours' is all the more interesting that it is enthusiastically written from a Semitic standpoint, and that his author could not possibly foresee that his dream would come true 150 years after his death.

Julius Evola
Presentazione a “L’angelo della finestra d’Occidente”
di Gustav Meyrink
(Edizioni Gattopardo, Roma 1972).
Il presente romanzo è l'ultimo che, prima di morire,
Gustavo Meyrink scrisse. Come schema esso è
un intreccio di motivi già, ritrovati negli altri suoi
libri. Infatti da un lato vi è la costruzione romanticadella vita e delle vicende di un alchimlsta effettivamente
vissuto, come nelle Storie dei facitori d'oro;
dall'altro lato, vi è il tema del riapparire in un uomo
di oggi una personalità di altre età, e di varie viteche rappresentano diverse maniiestazioni di un’ unica entità
- come nel Domenicano bianco e, in parte, anche
nella Notte di Valpurga e nello stesso Golem.. .Circa il primo punto, il personaggio storico prescelto qui
dal Meyrink è John Dee, sapiente
di discipline magiche, ermetiche ed astrologiche vissuto
in Inghilterra al tempo della regina Elisabetta (egli nacque nel 1527 emorì nel 1608). Si pretende che il Meyrink abbia avuto conoscenza
di speciali manoscritti relativi alla vita di
di John Dee, così non si può stabilire la misura in cui molti dettagli e
dati del romanzo che non trovano riscontro nella biografia nota di
John Dee riassunta dall’ Encliclopedia Britannica, siano stati
inventati. Ad sempio, non risulta l'alta nobiltà dei Dees e la loro
discendenza da Hoel Dhat.
Storico è l'arresto di John Dee per azioni magiche tentate contro la
regina Maria; la sua liberazione sarebbe però avvenuta per la decisione di
un Consiglio e non per l’intervento romanzesco della principessa
Elisabetta non ancora regina. Storiche sono le relazioni di Dee con Dudley,
con Laski e con Edoardo Kelley. Quest'ultimo - un tipo di medicastro dalle
orecchie mozze - pretendeva di aver scoperto la Pietra dei Saggie si associò a Dee come una specie di
medium, propiziando evocazioni di spiriti e di varie
entità. Parimenti storici sono i viaggi di John Dee; la
fama di sapiente europeo da lui acquistata; la sua fuga
dall'Inghilterra nel 1548, perché sospettato di con-
giure politiche e, altresì, per lo scandalo provocato
dalla sua sceneggiatura della Pace di Aristofane; l'in-
cendio del castello di Mortlake; il dissidio sopravvenuto
fra lui e Kelley; la sua morte, in grande miseria, a
Mortlake, nel dicembre del 1608.Tornato in Inghilterra dalla Boemia, nel 1595 Dee rivestì però la carica
di Rettore del Manchester College, cosa che invece 'non
figura nel romanzo. Dei rapporti di John Dee con l'im-
peratore Rodolfo d'Absburgo si sa meno che non di
quelli con l'imperatore Massimiliano II, al quale Dee
dedicò, nel 1564, una interessante trattazione ermeti-
ca dal titolo Monas hìeroglyphìca. Storici sono gli in-
carichi avuti dal Dee per l'esame dei diritti della Co-
rona inglese su terre scoperte in quei tempi, come pureper le ricerche geografiche intorno ad esse, su ciò si
conservano ancora, nella Cottonian Library, due incartamenti
originali, né deve esssrvi estraneo, forse, il motivo della
Groenlandia utilizzato dal Meyrink. Infine, nel British museum,
si conserva un cristallo della grandezza di un arancio e
appartenuto effettivamente a John Dee da lui usato
come specchio magico.
Quanto alla trama romanzesca che ha utilizzato
questi spunti storici, essa s'incentra in un motivo, che,
secondo quanto è stato rilevato nella introduzione alla
traduzione del Domenicano bianco, non va confuso
con le fisime reincarnazionistiche. Si tratta invece
della veduta, secondo la quale ogni essere umano, lun-
gi dal rappresentare un «io» autonomo, sarebbe la
manifestazione di un dio o dèmone anteriore e supe-
riore alla sua esistenza finita in terra. Ad un dato mo-
mento, in un certo ceppo può essere stata creata una
« causa », vale a dire, può essersi innestata una in-
fluenza trascendente che, sovrastando il tempo, da quel
momento fornisce la base per una continuità di desti-
no e di impulso verso il compimento lungo varie gene-
razioni. Così, le vie di uno stesso sangue potendo avere,
nel riguardo, la funzione di un « buon conduttore »,
in quel ceppo possono apparire degli esseri che, in
realtà, sono un unico essere ripetentesi, fino a che il
ciclo si chiude con la genesi magica di chi è un
« risorto in questo mondo e nell'altro» e un « Viven-
te » in senso eminente. Non è forse inutile rilevare che
diversi aspetti dei culti gentilizi dell’ antichità tradi-
zionale d'Oriente e d'Occidente - Roma e l'Ellade
comprese - non sono privi di relazione con queste
vedute, le quali appartengono ad un insegnamento esotericoa cui il Meyrink nei suoi romanzi si è ripetutamente ispirato.
Nell' Angelo della Finestra d'Occidente· il barone Müller,
ultimo discendente dei Dees of Gladhill, è lo stesso John Dee
che si ricorda e riesce nell'impresa che non solo a lui stesso, ma
anche ad un'altra sua manifestazione nello stesso cep-
po - a John Roger - era fallita. Intorno a lui, come
esseri dei tempi moderni, riappaiono le forze e i per-
sonaggi con cui secoli prima aveva già avuto a chefare.
Quanto al compimento, di cui si tratta, il Meyrink
riprende la dottrina dell'androgine spirituale, che nel-
l'esoterismo occidentale forse può essersi legata anche
al misterioso simbolo templa re di Bafometto, ma che
molto più distintamente corrisponde a quello ermetico-
alchimico del Rebis (= res bina, cioè natura dupli-
ce), mentre l'equivalente estremo-orientale è lo Yang-
Yin, l'unità del maschio con la femmina in una sola
natura. Anche questo è un motivo centrale di altri.
libri del Meyrink. A tale riguardo, ermetisti e rosa-
croce hanno anche parlato delle cosidette « nozze chi-
miche», del congiungimento del «giovane regale»
con la « Donna dei Filosofi» e con la « Regina» nella
raggiunta « terra di là dal mare », il che avrebbe per
effetto il possesso della duplice corona e del duplice
potere. Nel romanzo, l'aver assunto simboli del gene-
re in un senso puramente terreno costituisce l'errore
fatale di tutto il primo periodo della vita di John Dee.
La « Regina », di cui si tratta, e che John Dee credette
di possedere per violenza d'incantesimo nella persona
di Elisabetta, è la «donna occulta », una misteriosa
entità. E le nozze si rendono possibili solo a chi sia
passato attraverso l'esperienza detta, dagli alchimisti,dell'« Opera al Nero »; a chi, attraversate le «ac-
que », i « mari », abbia raggiunto la simbolica « Terra
Verde» o « Terra dei Viventi» e si sia fatto signore
della «Groenlandia ». È là che la «Regina» atten-
de gli Eletti, a che questi possano divenire una sola
cosa con lei, conseguendo la trasformazione dell’individuo umano in un «Re », come secondo l'ideale
magico.Alle «nozze alchimiche » si contrappone l'illu-
sione generata dall' ebbrezza dell'unione materiale del-
l'uomo e della donna. Chi aspira all'adeptato, per
contro, deve essere in grado di conservare e di « fis-
sare » la forza dei due principi maschile e femminile
impedendone la dissipazione e la degradazione nella
comune vita erotica. Il Meyrink personifica in Isais
la Nera la forza che tende ad impedire questa realizzazionee a captare l'elemento maschio attivo, facendo sì che
esso « soggiaccia alla morte suggente che
viene dalla donna »; e giustamente indica la relazione
che una tale forza ha col sangue - Isais è la Sovrana
nascosta nel sangue umano.In fatto di tecnica, il Meyrink nomina anche il
vajroli-tantra; ma, nel riguardo, le sue conoscenze
debbono essere state incomplete e superficiali. Rimandiamochi voglia saperne di più ad una nostra opera,
qui basterà dire che il tantrismo conosce anche proce-
dimenti intesi a trasformare l'energia sessuale virile in
forza magica, ma, a parte le degenerazioni, non si trat-
ta né di un'« arte nera» né di pratiche «orribili»
aventi aspetti «osceni », come secondo il giudizio diJ. EVOLA, Lo Yoga della Potenza (Saggio sui Tantra),
Ed. Mediterranee, Roma, 1968; cfr. anche Metafisica del
Sesso, 2a ed., Ed. Mediterranee, Roma, 1969.alcuni personaggi del romanzo (Lipotin e Gordener) .
Se, ad un dato momento, colui nel quale si ridesta,
John Dee crede che l'essenza della pratica consiste
nel far entrare in sé la « donna » - cioè nell' evoca·
re e assorbire la forza occulta della femminilità -
per « redimerla» (per farle cambiare la polarità) me-
diante il volere da rendere saldo e sicuro attraverso
speciali discipline, ciò corrisponde proprio all'insegna-
mento tantrico, alla cosidetta çivaizzazione della
Cakti? Senonché nel romanzo tutto si riduce ad un
semplice accenno, come semplicemente accennata è la
via della « veglia iniziatica »; sùbito dopo, la narra-
zione passa a episodi affatto fantastici - si trova anzi
il modo di dire che pratiche del genere possono esser
seguite, senza esserne spezzati, soltanto da Orientali,
e che proprio allo scopo di travolgere il protagonista
del romanzo a questi sarebbe stato indicato il vajroli-
tantra da emissari delle forze nemiche, possiamo dire,
di una « contro-iniziazione ».- In a somewhat humourless series of articles, written in orthodox Guénonian fahion, Mircea A. Tamas indirectly deals with the subject of counter-initiation in the world of literature. See part 4 of "The Enigma René Guénon and Agarttha" http://www.regnabit.com/EN/file_det.php?ID=483&disp=4&PHPSESSID=b288d49d33611e5cca75045755b0093c
In this context E.A. Poe, M. Twain, G. Meyrink, A. Kubin, A. Dumas, B. Stoker, and J. Verne are being mentioned.
Note that R. Guénon's treatment of G. Meyrink's work is clearly different from that of Evola, as shown in their correspondence. Here is a recently unveiled document which is compromising for those who support that Germany is responsible for the WWII.

"Judea Declares War on Germany!" - Daily Express headline, March 24, 1933.
"Judea Declares War on Germany! Jews of all the World Unite! Boycott of German Goods! Mass Demonstrations!" - These were all headlines in the Daily Express on March 24, 1933.
"The Israeli people around the world declare economic and financial war against Germany. Fourteen million Jews stand together as one man, to declare war against Germany. The Jewish wholesaler will forsake his firm, the banker his stock exchange, the merchant his commerce and the pauper his pitiful shed in order to join together in a holy war against Hitler's people." - Daily Express, March 24, 1933.
"Each of you, Jew and Gentile alike, who has not already enlisted in this sacred war should do so now and here. It is not sufficient that you should buy no goods made in Germany. You must refuse to deal with any merchant or shopkeeper who sells any German-made goods or who patronises German ships or shipping.... we will undermine the Hitler regime and bring the German people to their senses by destroying their export trade on which their very existence depends." - Samuel Undermeyer, in a Radio Broadcast on WABC, New York, August 6, 1933. Reported in the New York Times, August 7, 1933.
Joining with Samuel Untermeyer in calling for a war against Germany, Bernard Baruch, at the same time, was promoting preparations for war against Germany. "I emphasised that the defeat of Germany and Japan and their elimination from world trade would give Britain a tremendous opportunity to swell her foreign commerce in both volume and profit." - Baruch, The Public Years, by Bernard M. Baruch, p.347 (New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1960).
Samuel Untermeyer was a Jewish leader and close friend of presidents Wilson and Roosevelt.
Bernard Baruch was a presidential adviser to Wilson, Roosevelt and Truman.
"This declaration called the war against Germany, which was now determined on, a 'holy war'. This war was to be carried out against Germany to its conclusion, to her destruction" (Diese Erklärung nannte den Krieg gegen Deutschland, der nun beschlossen sei, einen heiligen Krieg. Dieser Krieg müsse gegen Deutschland bis zu dessen Ende, bis zu dessen Vernichtung, geführt werden). - Dr. Franz J. Scheidl, Geschichte der Verfemung Deutschlands.
"War in Europe in 1934 was inevitable." - H. Morgenthau, Secretary of the U.S. Treasury, Hearst Press, September, 1933 (also quoted in "The Palestine Plot" by B. Jenson, p. 11 (printed by John McKinley, 11-15 King Street, Perth, Scotland)).
"For months now the struggle against Germany is waged by each Jewish community, at each conference, in all our syndicates, and by each Jew all over the world. There is reason to believe that our part in this struggle has general value. We will trigger a spiritual and material war of all the world against Germany's ambitions to become once again a great nation, to recover lost territories and colonies. But our Jewish interests demand the complete destruction of Germany. Collectively and individually, the German nation is a threat to us Jews." - Vladimir Jabotinsky (founder of the Jewish terrorist group, Irgun Zvai Leumi) in Mascha Rjetsch, January, 1934 (also quoted in "Histoire de l'Armée Allemande" by Jacques Benoist-Mechin, Vol. IV, p. 303).
"Hitler will have no war (does not want war), but we will force it on him, not this year, but soon." - Emil Ludwig Cohn in Les Annales, June, 1934 (also quoted in his book "The New Holy Alliance").
"We Jews are going to bring a war on Germany." - David A. Brown, National Chairman, United Jewish Campaign, 1934 (quoted in "I Testify Against The Jews" by Robert Edward Edmondson, page 188 and "The Jewish War of Survival" by Arnold Leese, page 52).
"We want to bring about a deep hatred for the Germans, for German soldiers, sailors, and airmen. We must hate until we win." - Lord Beaverbrook, quoted in Niemals! by Heinrich Goitsch.
"There is only one power which really counts. The power of political pressure. We Jews are the most powerful people on earth, because we have this power, and we know how to apply it." - Vladimir Jabotinsky, Jewish Daily Bulletin, July 27, 1935.
"Before the end of the year, an economic bloc of England, Russia, France and the U.S.A will be formed to bring the German and Italian economic systems to their knees." - Paul Dreyfus, "La Vie de Tanger" May 15, 1938.
On the 3rd of June, 1938, the American Hebrew boasted that they had Jews in the foremost positions of influence in Britain, Russia and France, and that these "three sons of Israel will be sending the Nazi dictator to hell." - Joseph Trimble, the American Hebrew.
"Germany is our public enemy number one. It is our object to declare war without mercy against her. One may be sure of this: We will lead that war!" - Bernard Lecache, the president of the "International League Against Racism and Anti-Semitism," in its newspaper "Droit de Vivre" (Right to Life), 9 November, 1938.
"The war now proposed is for the purpose of establishing Jewish hegemony throughout the world." - Brigadier General George Van Horn Mosely, The New York Tribune, March 29, 1939.
"I wish to confirm in the most explicit manner, the declaration which I and my colleagues made during the last months, and especially in the last week: that the Jews "stand by Great Britain and will fight on the side of the democracies." Our urgent desire is to give effect to these declarations. We wish to do so in a way entirely consonant with the general scheme of British action, and therefore would place ourselves, in matters big and small, under the co-ordinating direction of His Majesty's Government. The Jewish Agency is ready to enter into immediate arrangements for utilizing Jewish manpower, technical ability, resources, etc." - Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Jewish Congress, Head of the Jewish Agency and later President of Israel, the London Times, September 5, 1939, and the London Jewish Chronicle, September 8, 1939.
"The millions of Jews who live in America, England and France, North and South Africa, and, not to forget those in Palestine, are determined to bring the war of annihilation against Germany to its final end." - Central Blad Voor Israeliten in Nederland, September 13, 1939.Etc.
