Chapter Twenty-nine
Elizabeth, Queen of the Jews
|
When LaRouche says the Queen of
England pushes drugs or that Britain is the chief enemy of the United States,
he is not merely indulging in eccentricity or a Freudian dislike of female
authority figures. These statements have a serious meaning to anti-Semites
and neo-Nazis in West Germany and the United States. They are eccentric only
to those who have not studied the history of modern anti-Semitism, in which
the theme of Jewish-British race mixing and Jewish domination of the British
Empire looms large. The
original Nazis popularized this theory. In Mein Kampf, Hitler complained that
the Jews in England exert an "almost unlimited dictatorship"
through their manipulation of public opinion. Heinrich Himmler speculated in
his unpublished notebooks on the "Jewish blood" of the English and
Scots. Alfred Rosenberg's Myth of the Twentieth Century discussed the
alleged identity of the policies of "Jewish high finance" with
those of Great Britain and claimed that the British government had
"handed over control of all financial transactions to Jewish bankers
such as Rothschild, Montague, Cassell, Lazard, etc." Expressing a
theory that the LaRouchians later would repeat in Dope, Inc., Rosenberg said that England had "allowed the opium trade to fall
increasingly into Jewish hands." Once Nazi Germany and Britain were
at war, the Nazis developed a more exaggerated version. World-Battle, an
official propaganda organ, depicted "English high finance" as
Judaism incarnate. England's aggression against innocent Germany, it said,
was the result of the Jews buying Churchill with piles of gold. Meanwhile
Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, came to regard the Jews and the
British upper classes as virtually one racial entity. He wrote in his diary
in 1942: "Rothschild . . . took the floor [of the British House of
Commons] and delivered a tearjerker bemoaning the fate of the Polish Jews . .
. All members of Parliament rose from their seats as a silent tribute to
Jewry. That was quite appropriate for the. British House of Commons, which is
really a sort of Jewish exchange. The English, anyway, are the Jews among the
Aryans. The perfumed British Foreign Minister, Eden, cuts a good figure among
these characters from the synagogue. His whole education and his entire
bearing can be characterized as thoroughly Jewish." The Jewish-British theme was
popular among American anti-Semites as early as the 18905. According to
historian Richard Hofstadter, "anti-Semitism and Anglophobia went hand
in hand" in populist writings of that decade. One tract included a map
of the world with an octopus squatting on the British Isles, its tentacles
stretching across the seas. The octopus was labeled "Rothschilds."
Another tract denounced President Grover Cleveland as a tool of "Jewish
bankers and British gold." Gordon Clark's Shylock: As Banker,
Bondholder, Corruptionist, Conspirator (1894) accused the Rothschilds of
bribing the U.S. government to deliver the American people "into the
hands of England, as England had long been resigned into the hands of her
Jews." The leading anti-Semite of the period, William Hope
("Coin") Harvey, called for war with Jewish-dominated England to
"blot her name out from among the nations of the earth." LaRouche's
version most closely resembles "War! War! War.', "a Nazi tract
published in 1940 under the pseudonym Cincinnatus to convince Americans that
Hitler was right and that the United States should stay out of the war. (The
pseudonym was apparently borrowed from the Society of the Cincinnati, an
early American patriotic league named after Cincinnatus, hero of the ancient
Roman republic.) Cincinnatus called the British Empire the
"British-Jewish Empire." The United States, he argued, should not
come to the aid of "a mongrel England, ruled not by Britons of the
blood, but, largely, by a galaxy ofjews, half-Jews, and quarter-Jews."
He added: "The England which . . . beseeches us to come to her rescue
is little more than another segment of the
Jewish 'nation.' "Just like LaRouche, Cincinnatus said that the real
enemy of the United States is a "New York City, New England, Anglophile,
Jewish plot." There are many other parallels:
LaRouche says the British are plotting to starve "billions" of
people to death in the Third World. Cincinnatus said, "The starvation
of men, women and children has been the most approved English method of
warfare since the Jews became dominant there . . ." LaRouche says Henry
Kissinger and Ariel Sharon are "British agents." Cincinnatus quoted
the British anti-Semitic author Hilaire Belloc as saying "the Jew might
almost be called a British agent upon the Continent of Europe and still more
in the Near and Far East." LaRouche calls the British philosopher
Bertrand Russell the most evil man of the twentieth century. Cincinnatus
devoted several pages to Russell as the alleged purveyor of
"Jewish" immorality. LaRouche claims that the British-Rothschild
establishment (and the Queen) control the international drug traffic.
Cincinnatus devoted a chapter to "The Chinese Opium Wars and
British-Jews." LaRouche and his followers write about the alleged
hereditary taint of the British aristocracy, its congenital brain damage,
etc. Cincinnatus quoted Belloc: "[W]ith the opening of the twentieth
century those of the great territorial English families in which there was
no Jewish blood were the exception. In nearly all of them was the strain more
or less marked; in some of them so strong that though the name was still an
English name . . . the physique and character had become wholly Jewish and
the members of the family were taken for Jews whenever they travelled . .
." With all of these similarities, it is not surprising that LaRouche's
New Solidarity includes a column by one "Cincinnatus" (although
the author of the 1940 tract is long dead) and that LaRouche's Security staff
once applied for concealed weapons permits under the name of Cincinnatus
Associates. (Of course the LaRouchians would claim they merely are
identifying with the patriotic society of George Washington's day.) The Jewish-British conspiracy
theory is popular today with hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan. You can
purchase dozens of pamphlets on this theme from the Sons of Liberty in
Louisiana. Mostly written by British fascists in the 19305, the titles
include The Jews and the British Empire, Our Jewish Aristocracy, and How
Jewry Turned England into a Plutocratic State. The latter says that the Jews
regard "the British Empire only as a stepping stone towards a coming
Jewish World-Empire" and that "the English government is only the
British facade for the Jew . . . The English statesmen are the well-paid
dummies of Jewish-English finance-capitalism." The pamphlet also
describes the alleged "judais-ing" of the English aristocracy through
intermarriage. Because of these 'blood-ties," it concludes, "Jewish
finance-capital is identical with British finance-capital." In 1984 the Sons of Liberty
republished War! War! War! with an introduction by Eustace Mullins, a
scholarly anti-Semite who is friendly with the LaRouchians and attended their
1984 annual convention. The Sons of Liberty also launders LaRouche's
neo-Cincinnatus doctrines into white supremacist circles via the pamphlets of
the Christian Defense League's Dr. John Coleman. Scores of Coleman's pamphlets
have titles similar to those of LaRouchian articles or books and contain
identical analyses. They never mention LaRouche's name, yet the ideas are
his. Mullins, who is a contributing editor of Coleman's World Economic
Review, says that Colernan "claims to have mysterious connections in
British intelligence, but for the last ten years all he's done is copy
LaRouche's stuff." Thus does the LaRouchian message circulate in the
swastika-and-bedsheet crowd, while LaRouche, the self-styled friend of the White
House, is spared embarrassment. LaRouche himself has admitted the
true meaning of "British" on at least two occasions. In The Case of
Walter Lippmann, in his discussion of the slave trade in
early-nineteenth-century America, the word "British" is immediately
followed by "Rothschild" in parentheses. In "Anti-Dirigism Is
British Tory Propaganda" (1978) he expanded the "British" to
embrace a network of wealthy Jewish families. "The policy-shaping kernel
of the enemy forces centered in the British monarchy is a group of private
banking families," he said. "These are notably the family interests
of the Lazard Brothers, Barings, N. M. Rothschild, Hill Samuel, and other
small private banking houses." He then added: "Britain—these same
families' interests—has controlled the international opium traffic since
early during the 19th century." Although LaRouche threw in a single non-Jewish
family, the definition was essentially the same as Alfred Rosenberg's. The British-Jewish theory was
given symbolic expression in New Solidarity in 1978 by a Star of David with
Queen Elizabeth at the top flanked by Henry Kissinger and economist Milton
Friedman. The caption alluded to "satanic connections." Thus was
made clear the real meaning of LaRouche's accusation that the Queen pushes
drugs. In
"How to Analyze and Uproot International Terrorism," a 1978 tirade
against the alleged British controllers of European terrorist cells, LaRouche
discussed how the British oligarchy reflects the "national
interest" and national "state of mind" of a network of wealthy
families "embedded in various institutions of each nation."
Traditional anti-Semitism regards the Jews in precisely this way: the
cosmopolitan nation living parasitically off other nations. LaRouche
implicated wide strata of Jews in the conspiracy. Around the Rothschilds and
other leading families, he wrote, there is gathered a "secondary layer
of plebeians. These . . . include leading intelligence and political families
going back a generation or two, certain families with a legal professional
tradition, and so forth . . . Around these there is an outer layer of agents,
trusted, deemed useful . . . Around these strata, another layer of agents,
and so down to the pathetically demented individual environmentalist and
terrorist." LaRouche was not only speaking of
Jews; the secondary agent layers included non-Jews such as the Churchill
family. But in LaRouchian propaganda Zionism is the chief international tool
of the British, and Zionists are usually British agents. Since most Jews are
Zionists, the implication is that most Jews must be British agents. In
attempting to make this connection, the LaRouchians seized on General George
Brown's infamous 1974 statement about the alleged excessive influence of
Jews in Washington. In 1977 LaRouche wrote that it was time to "kick
every British-loving son-of-a-bitch out of Washington." With a deft
touch, the article took the form of an open letter to Defense Secretary
Harold Brown but the picture was of George Brown. A New Solidarity editorial
then accused the entire leadership and most of the membership of American
Jewish organizations of being part of the treasonous British conspiracy:
"Their loyalties lie not with the United States but with the
Zionist-British organism." Through the years, New Solidarity has
fleshed out this theory in hundreds of articles. The first wave in 1978
included headlines like "British to Sell World Short," "Brits
Run Spy Hoax to Push Cold War Clime," "British Launch Drive to
Break Up the EEC," and "Expel Britain's Kissinger for
Treason." When describing British machinations, New Solidarity referred
to mostly Jewish names (Oppenheimer, Montefiore, Meyer, Weill, Warburg, as
well as Rothschild). If the name wasn't obvious, they'd add a tag—e.g.,
"Lord Crewe, a Rothschild family cousin." When non-Jews in the
British Establishment were mentioned, there was often a different kind of
tag. Former Prime Minister Harold Wilson was referred to as a
"Rothschild agent," while Conservative MP Winston Churchill III was
said to live up to his grandfather's "reputation for sycophantic . . .
braggadocio in the service of the Rothschilds." The LaRouchians listed what they
believed to be the key institutions of British power in the twentieth
century—the Fabian Society, the Round Table group, the Royal Institute for
International Affairs, the British Secret Service, etc. Each was said to be
under "Rothschild" control. In a pamphlet on the British
aristocracy, LaRouche aide Chris White wrote that the scions of the Rothschild
family "preside over" the British organs of power: The
"evolution of the Rothschild family and its outlook" has determined
the "evolution and outlook of the British political system." The LaRouchians concocted a
pseudo-history of England to bolster this. The Norman conquest in 1066, they
said, was instigated by converted Jews around the papacy as a flanking
maneuver against the Teutonic peoples. (That the Jews were later driven out
of England by the Norman kings was irrelevant to this theory. The oligarchy
doesn't always need to rule directly on the spot. Indeed, it may sometimes prefer
to rule from afar, using ideology as its control mechanism. Was not Oxford
University in the Middle Ages a nest of bestial nominalists?) The
reestablishment of direct Jewish control of England began in the late
seventeenth century when William and Mary allowed a few to settle in London.
A Dutch Jewish banker, Solomon Mendoza, fastened on the Churchill family as
the chief oligarchical agents for the centuries ahead. Ideological brainwashing
of the English upper classes was accelerated through such mechanisms as the
Anglican Church, the Freemasons, the Knights of Malta, Humean empiricism,
utilitarianism, Fabian socialism, and most recently the Tavistock Institute.
The vigorous English aristocrats of the Neoplatonic Tudor era were
transformed step by step into effete puppets. Hence the frequent LaRouchian
quips about homosexuality and genetic deficiency in the British royal family
and top aristocracy: How can the British be real men if they've never stood
up to the Jews?
