The Holocaust Shakedown
by Dr. William Pierce


Imagine that a robber walks into a bank, points a pistol at a teller,
hands her a bag, and demands that she put all the money from her cash
drawer in it. At first she protests, but then, after he threatens to
shoot, she fills the robber's bag with cash. And then imagine that, as
the robber walks out of the bank with his bag of loot, the bank guard
opens the door for him, smiles at him, offers to hail a cab for him, and
tells him to come again soon. After that it's not difficult to imagine
that he probably will.

That's about the way it's been with the Jews recently. Two years ago
they put a gun to the head of the Swiss people collectively and demanded
billions of dollars in reparations for Swiss bank accounts they claimed
had been owned by Jews who disappeared during the Second World War. The
Swiss initially protested that unclaimed Jewish bank accounts from the
1930s and 1940s amounted at most to a few million dollars, not to
billions, and besides the war ended more than 50 years ago and claims
should have been filed long ago. The Jews threatened to shoot,
figuratively speaking, by having their bought politicians in the United
States prevent Swiss banks from doing business in America. Eventually
they walked away with $1.25 billion in loot, with the Swiss apologizing
for not having coughed it up sooner.

After that sort of success with the Swiss one could hardly expect the
Jews to give up extortion and go straight. So anyway, they were back
again soon, with demands against the Volkswagen Company for having used
Jewish workers during the Second World War and providing them only with
room and board but not paying them union-scale wages. One might think
that these Jewish workers would be grateful to Volkswagen for keeping
them alive during the war, feeding them, and giving them a roof over
their heads, when so many German civilians had only bombed-out ruins to
live in. Well, if you thought that, you just don't understand Jews. The
Jews told the Volkswagen Company that if it ever wanted to sell any more
cars in America, it had better cough up -- soon. And the bought
politicians and the media bosses in America began rattling their sabres
and talking loudly about sanctions of various sorts against Volkswagen.
And so, like the Swiss banks, Volkswagen coughed up the money.

Then the feeding frenzy started, just as I told you it would two years
ago, when I predicted that after the Jews had cleaned out the Swiss they
would go after other victims in a long list. Volkswagen wasn't the only
company which had used involuntary labor during the war. The Jews went
after Daimler-Benz and BMW and Siemens.

And Switzerland wasn't the only country where Jews could claim that
Uncle Abe had stashed some of his loot sixty years ago, before the war.
So they sued banks in France and in Britain and began moaning and
whining in the media that the banks were being "insensitive" to poor,
deserving "Holocaust survivors," who suddenly had remembered Uncle Abe's
millions and needed it -- now! And then they remembered the insurance
companies in Italy and Switzerland and Britain and elsewhere from whom
they could claim that Uncle Abe once had had a life-insurance policy.
Then they remembered that the Swedes owed them gold, and the Danes and
the Norwegians. Even the Poles, whom the Jews had ruled as Bolshevik
commissars for nearly 50 years after the war, owed them, they claimed.

The racket has worked the same in every case: pay us, or we will have
our bought Gentile politicians pass laws making it impossible for you to
continue doing business, and our people in the media will paint you as
monsters who want to hang onto the profit you made when poor Uncle Abe
and Aunt Sara were crammed into gas chambers, and then the gullible
Gentile lemmings won't buy your products. If you give us any trouble or
resist our demands we'll make an example of you, the way we did with the
Swiss banks. Just pay us the few hundred million dollars we're demanding
now, and we'll leave you alone. Otherwise, it'll end up costing you a
lot more.

And it has worked every time. Not one banker or businessman has stood up
to them and flatly refused to pay. Not one president or prime minister
has said to them, "All right, Jew boys! You try a boycott against my
country, and we'll organize a boycott against Israel. We'll round up all
the Jews in our country and send them packing." Not one has called the
Jews' bluff. They've all calculated that it is cheaper to pay the
gangsters than to fight them, and so they pay. Honor means nothing to
these businessmen and politicians. Principles mean nothing to them. All
they care about is continuing to make money, continuing to stay in
office.

With this sort of attitude predominant among the Gentiles, one can
hardly blame the Jews for turning to extortion on a larger scale than
ever before. They are successful at it; therefore they continue to do
it. And they don't limit themselves to Europe or to those who allegedly
cooperated with the Germans in their demand for reparations. A few
months ago they filed a claim against Britain for $600 million they
claim the British government confiscated from Jews between 1940 and 1942
when the British governed Palestine. Remember, the Jews were waging a
guerrilla war against the British prior to 1948, when the British
finally gave up and pulled out, letting the Jews slaughter the
Palestinians and establish the Jewish state of Israel on Palestinian
land. The Jews were kidnapping and murdering British soldiers in
Palestine and assassinating diplomats. In 1946 the Jews used a terrorist
bomb to blow up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which was the British
government headquarters. This Jewish forerunner of the Oklahoma City
bombing killed a large number of British civilians and military people.
And now the Jews are demanding $600 million in reparations from the
British!

And of course, the Jews also are expecting payoffs from American
companies. Both Ford and General Motors had subsidiaries working in
Germany when the Second World War began. The Ford plant in Germany made
military vehicles for the Germans throughout the war, and the General
Motors subsidiary, Opel, did the same. And so now the Jews are claiming
that both Ford and General Motors owe them a great deal of money because
of that. The Jews already have filed a class-action suit against Ford in
a Federal court in New Jersey, seeking hundreds of millions of dollars
in wages plus interest for Jews who worked in Ford's German plant during
the war. And because the businessmen who run Ford and General Motors
today are the same sort as those who run the Volkswagen Company, they
undoubtedly will pay off the Jews rather than risk having the media
portray them as "insensitive" types who profited from the so-called
"Holocaust" and now refuse to share their loot with the poor, deserving
Jewish "survivors." Two hundred years ago the American motto was,
"Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." But in those days
Americans were made of sterner stuff -- and I assume that our people in
Europe were too.

Cash isn't the only thing the Jews are going after. They have decided
that a substantial portion of the art treasures of Europe really
belonged to Uncle Abe too 60 years ago and ought to be returned to the
Jews now. It is true, of course, that during the war the German
government had a keen interest in bringing as much Germanic art as
possible back under German protection. They bought all the Vermeers and
Rembrandts and Holbeins and Dürers and Halses and other Germanic art
works as they could from owners in the conquered countries and brought
them back to Germany. And when the works the Germans were interested in
were in the hands of Jews, they often brought pressure to bear and
obtained the works at low prices. The Germans, however, generally
weren't interested in modern art -- certainly not in Jewish paintings by
Chagall or Modigliani, for example -- and a great many such modern
paintings ended up in the hands of Jewish art dealers. In fact, the
Germans often had agreements with Jewish art dealers, swapping the
modern paintings they weren't interested in for the Germanic paintings
they were interested in. The biggest of these Jewish dealers, Georges
Wildenstein, was in Paris, and he acquired an enormous number of modern
paintings during the war. After the war he brought them to New York and
later sold hundreds of them to museums and private collectors around the
world. The Jews currently are engaged in a huge treasure hunt for those
paintings now in Gentile hands which formerly belonged to Jews. The
facts that most of these paintings were acquired by their present owners
from Jewish dealers such as the Wildensteins and that many of them were
legally purchased from their Jewish owners during the war are glossed
over. All of these paintings are characterized by the Jews as  -- quote
-- "art stolen from victims of the Holocaust by the Nazis," -- end quote
-- and they want it all back now.

There's an interesting double standard here. A messy divorce in the
Wildenstein family attracted public attention last year to the Jewish
family's business dealings in Paris during the war, and another Jewish
family claimed that the Wildensteins have artworks that actually should
be returned to them, because they were forced to sell them at fire-sale
prices during the war. The Wildensteins told them to buzz off: the
statute of limitations for such claims expired long ago, the
Wildensteins asserted. Of course, no Gentile owner dares make such an
assertion. But in fact, there are statutes of limitations for most
claims. Dormant bank accounts typically become the property of the
government after being unclaimed for 20 years or so, but when the Swiss
brought up that legality two years ago, the Jews went into their
"persecuted victim" act, feigning outrage that the Swiss should try to
let a mere law stand between the Jews and what they were claiming in
reparations.

Whenever the Jews, in order to remind the world for the six-millionth
time of their "victim" status, have accused some elderly German or Pole
or Ukrainian or Lithuanian of having mistreated Jews 55 years ago during
the war, there is no question of a statute of limitations. If anyone
mentions that legality, Jewish shrieking in all of their media quickly
drowns him out. For an injury, real or imaginary, done to a Jew by a
Gentile there is no statute of limitations, no matter how much time has
passed. The Jews still celebrate every year in their Purim festival the
revenge their ancestors took on the ancient Persians 2,500 years ago
through their control of a corrupt king.

Yet when the Polish government asked the government of Israel a few
months ago to extradite a Jewish mass murderer, Solomon Morel, so that
he could be tried in Poland for genocide, the Jews refused. "There's a
statute of limitations for extradition," the Israelis told the Poles,
"and you're too late." Morel was the Jew-communist commissar of a
concentration camp in Poland after the war, and he had tortured hundreds
of Poles and Germans to death. When he saw the possibility of
retribution looming, Morel, like thousands of other Jewish criminals
before him, fled to Israel. The horrifying atrocities committed by
Solomon Morel have been described in the 1993 book An Eye for an Eye by
John Sack.

This same double standard applies to every sort of interaction between
Jews and non-Jews. It is a fact that in wars people suffer losses.
Usually, within a few years after the wars are over, people try to get
on with their lives, and they consider what is past to be past. If other
people behaved the way the Jews behave, then every Englishman whose
family residence got hit by a bomb during the "blitz" of the Second
World War would be clamoring now for the German government to reimburse
him for the repairs that his grandparents had to make 55 years ago --
plus interest, of course. And if it's all right to go back 55 years for
claims, why not go back 135 years and let all of the Americans whose
ancestors' homes and farms in Georgia were burned by General Sherman
collect damages from the U.S. government now -- plus interest, of
course? Or why not go back 220 years and demand that Tony Blair's
government pay reparations to all of those Americans whose ancestors
suffered property loss from the Redcoats during the First American
Revolution -- plus interest, of course? I mean, if the Jews are allowed
to keep score, without regard for time, why shouldn't everyone else? Why
not set up some sort of World Court for Reparations? I imagine that
there are a lot of Palestinians who would like to file claims against
the state of Israel.

The fact is that we would have international chaos if everybody behaved
the way the Jews do. So this raises two interesting questions: Why do
the Jews behave the way they do? And why do we let them get away with
it?

Well, I've already given an answer of a sort to the first question: the
Jews behave the way they do because we let them behave that way; it's
just like the case of the bank robber, who will keep coming back until
the bank guard stops being nice and shoots the robber. But there's
really more to it than that. No one else is even inclined to make the
sort of demands on the rest of the world that the Jews do. The Jews
really are different. Their religion provides a few clues in this
regard. It is a religion which tells them that all the property of the
Gentiles really should belong to Jews, that the Jews are entitled to it.
It's as blatant as anywhere in the 60th chapter of the book attributed
to their prophet Isaiah, where they are told to keep their gates open
all the time, so that all the wealth of the Gentiles can be brought to
them. "Thou shalt suck the milk of the Gentiles," the Jews are told. And
if you think that doesn't really mean what it sounds like it means, you
should look into the Talmud, where the Jewish sages, the Jewish
interpreters of the Bible, explain to the rest of the Jews what it
means. The Talmud tells the Jews that only Jews are human beings, that
the Gentiles are just animals created by the Jewish tribal god Yahweh to
be used by the Jews, like other animals are used. Because Gentiles are
merely animals, they can't really own anything, and it is the duty of
the Jews to make sure they don't.

Now all of this Biblical stuff and Talmudic stuff is very old and quaint
and might seem irrelevant to a lawsuit against the Ford Motor Company by
the Jews today. But this old and quaint stuff is the basis of the Jews'
religion today. The religious Jews really believe it. And the
non-religious Jews, the atheist Jews, behave as if they believe it. And
I think that in a certain sense they do. I think this belief is in their
blood. I think that this is what accounts for their almost incredible
arrogance in their dealings with non-Jews.

And of course, there's not just belief: there's also calculation. They
understand that the success of their current effort to swindle the rest
of the world out of every cent they can depends on three factors: it
depends on their control of the mass media; it depends on the
unprecedented degree of political corruption which exists almost
everywhere in the Western world, on the unprecedented degree of
democracy; and it depends on the confused and demoralized state of
Gentiles everywhere.

There never before has been a time when the Jews have wielded as much
open power as they do today. No previous government in the United States
has had as many Jews in positions of power as the present Clinton
government. And that's pretty much the way it is everywhere in Europe
too. The Jews around Clinton are mirrored by high-ranking Jews around
Tony Blair in Britain. In Russia, the Jews not only hold most of the key
posts around the alcoholic and ailing Boris Yeltsin, they have one of
their own as prime minister. And nearly everywhere except in the United
States the Jews have succeeded in having laws passed making it illegal
for a patriot to tell his countrymen what the Jews are up to. In
Britain, in France, and in Germany hundreds of patriots are rotting in
prisons today because they dared to speak the truth about the Jews. In
Switzerland the Jews succeeded in having similar laws passed before they
began extorting money from the Swiss. Only in Russia today are any
significant number of patriots speaking out against the Jews and daring
the government to try to silence them.

And I suppose it seems reasonable to the Jews that when they have so
much power they should use it to their advantage. They should go for
everything they can get. The opportunity may pass. And they are going
for it, everywhere and in every way. It's interesting to note that this
display of unbridled greed and arrogance has made even some of their
fellow Jews a little nervous. Charles Krauthammer, a Jewish writer for
the Washington Post, the second most powerful Jewish newspaper in the
United States, wrote a column last month which begins with the words,
and I quote: "The pursuit of billions in Holocaust guilt money has gone
from the unseemly to the disgraceful." -- end quote --  Krauthammer
refers to the whole racket as a "Holocaust shakedown." It's not that
Krauthammer doesn't think the Jews should have all the money they can
get from the Gentiles. It's just that he's appalled by the reckless
display of naked, unprincipled greed as more and more Jewish shysters --
that's what Krauthammer calls them -- trample each other in their
current feeding frenzy. What if the Gentiles notice? What will the
Gentiles think?

Now, the unfortunate fact is that no non-Jewish writer for a major
newspaper would dare to write what Krauthammer wrote. Not even in the
United States, where it's still legal to write such things. They're all
afraid. For two generations the Jewish media have conditioned them by
instantly and loudly accusing anyone who opens his mouth of being a
"racist" or a "hater" or an "anti-Semite." They've been conditioned to
run for cover whenever they hear one of those accusations. And that is
the answer to our second question, why do we let them get away with it?

Their media control keeps the couch potatoes confused and unaware; the
corrupt politicians who have come to characterize our democracy are
always ready to front for them and betray the people whose interests
they are supposed to be representing; and those among us who are
perceptive enough and independent-minded enough to understand what is
happening are nearly all too cowardly to speak out. So it is easy enough
for me to predict that the Jews will keep coming back for more -- and
more -- and more -- until they either have it all, as in Russia today,
or what Charles Krauthammer is concerned about happens, and the Gentiles
notice. But really, the former outcome is much more likely.
