In Dronten no. 4
(“The Dodo” at the address Patriot.dk) I have dealt with the once world famous foreign
correspondent and author, Douglas Reed, who went from being widely
known and respected before, during and after the II.nd World War to
becoming an expelled and completely forgotten person.
Why was he “forgotten”?
It was simply because he wrote about “The
Jewish Question!”
International Jewry responded to his frank description of
the problem with total censorship, so that his new books could no
longer be printed and the old ones would disappear gradually from the
bookstores and even from the library shelves.
After a short period of slandering he was no longer
mentioned at all in the world’s media.
As the author Ivor Benson (who has himself written a book
on this subject: The Zionist Factor) says in the
foreword to Douglas Reeds masterpiece The Controversy of
Zion, which had to wait 22 years before it could be published, “the
adversity, which Reed encountered, would have made a lesser personality
give up. But not he“.
After his expulsion from the zionist-controlled
media-world, he found himself free to start this most outstanding work,
which all the years as a foreign correspondent in Europe and his
earlier books had only been a preparation and an education for. His
vision expanded from year to year and from book to book. It was an
education, which was not available in any university.”
He spent more than three years away from his family in
the early fifties in New York Central Library or in front of his
typewriter in modest surroundings in New York and in Montreal. He
rewrote the whole book with an epilogue i 1956, where the uprising in
Hungary and the Suez-war were scrutinized as further examples of the
talmudic co-operation between communism and zionism. Then, as
mentioned, the book had to wait 22 years for a possibility of getting
published!
It is instructive to observe how Douglas Reed gradually
penetrates deeper and deeper into the Jewish problem from
that time, when he had hardly even thought about it in 1935 (as
he writes in The controversy of Zion) until he
delivers his harsh judgement in the shape of The
controversy of Zion.
The mood of gloom and doom is not his own, but due to the
gloomy character of the subject, as he says in the epilogue to the
book. In the cause of his work he has felt the evil as an almost
physical presence in the plans, he reveals. As “forces from some
dinosaur-lair projected into the twentieth century.” But, he says, it
is not for him to judge, what is evil. God must have had an intention,
in his wisdom, to allow this evil to exist, possibly for the progress
of the soul. But in that case he, himself, feels like being also a part
of God’s creation, who has the duty to reveal this evil, so that human
beings can be set free from it.
Ivor Benson follows this line of thought in the epilogue
to his own book on the subject (1986) The
Zionist Factor, as follows: “There is no Jewish problem per
se, only a gigantic 20th century problem, in which the fate and
responsibility of Jews and Christians are inseperably intertwined”. The
irresponsible world power, built on money and dominated by Jews, is, in
its outstretched cob-web something, that we have all allowed to grow
big and strong through our irresponsibility.
But if this power has now grown so strong, that it cannot
be stopped, but must be allowed to continue its predestined course,
until, finally, it devours itself like a worldwide wolf, what use is it
then to us to get to know and fully understand what goes on in the
world?”
Ivor Benson answers this as follows: “a short
answer is given in a christian concept with even older sources: “Thou
shalt know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”
In 1938 Reed wrote his first major – and world famous –
book, Insanity Fair, which was published in at least
35 editions in English and published in danish,
also in 1938, in 5 editions. In Danish the title was “Galskabens
Kavalkade” (can still be ordered from the library). It is scarcely 400
pages and is a mixture of an autobiography and a political
description of Europe up to- and during the Second World War.
His predictions of major political events were for many
people surprisingly accurate at a time, when the “responsible
politicians” of the West were acting in direct opposition to his advice
and interpretations, and the unifying principle of the book is one long
warning against the threat from Hitler-Germany.
But simultaneously he had, among other things, a few
critical remarks about the jews, which he had observed and come to know
during his many travels as a reporter in Europe. In his second book he
deals with the subject of the jews a great deal more thoroughly. All of two chapters out of 37 are dedicated to
his “becoming clear as crystal“ on the subject, as he says. This book from 1939 had the english title “Disgrace Abounding” and in danish (also 1939)
“Grænseløs Skændsel”. (It can still be procured from
deposit libraries). The book – almost 500 pages – was also a
description of the prewar conditions, as he knew them in his capacity
of being one of the leading foreign correspondents in Southeastern
Europe, and through his close personal acquaintanceship with many of
the leading politicians of the time. It was yet another long warning
against Hitler-Germany and a reproach of the erroneous Western
politics, in which he could not find the logic.
As far as the Jews are concerned, he is definitely far
more crystally clear in this book than in the previous one, where there
were actually just a few good-natured teasing remarks about them.
I have, in Dronten no. 6, (danish) reproduced both of these two chapters and a
couple of other interesting descriptions of the Jews in Europe, seen
through his eyes, under the menu (in Dronten):
“Grænseløs Skændsel” (“Disgrace Abounding”).
By this time he no longer holds any doubt, that there is
most certainly a serious Jewish problem. From the on he would get to
study the problem thoroughly through the following ten years.
His well-intentioned advice, that the Jewish problem
could only be solved by the Jews getting their own nation (but not by
killing arabs), was abandoned by him again, when his studies of
talmudic zionism, and the eventual establishment of Israel,
demonstrated to him, that the Jewish question implied much more than
just that, and was now so much bigger.
Also, he discovered, it had
in reality been laid down in an ancient plan for world-conquest.
He wrote a few more books which he managed to get
published somehow (see the list in Dronten no. 4, under
the menu “Bibliography”- and now (in english) the homepage Douglas Reed Books, red.).
After the books Somewhere South of Suez
(1949) and Far and Wide (1951), which are not
translated into danish, Reed was practically banned by the most
important publishers and bookstorechains because of his ever more clear
description of the Jewish problem. He does not end up by being
optimistic concerning the solution to the problem, as he actually
thinks that only God can solve it – in time. Nevertheless, it is also
his opinion, that the suffering of mankind, including the Jews, which
will result in the meantime, until this solution will appear, may be
reduced and shortened by people learning the truth about “The
Contorversy of Zion”. In this issue of Dronten (no.
6), I have translated, into danish, two more chapters of this – in my
opinion – vital work. With the knowledge, which the book gives the
reader, he understands the real background of the invasion of
foreigners in The West, the globalisation and the break-down of
nations, culture and morals. Here, finally, I will relay Douglas Reeds
own description of the problems of the banning of Disgrace
Abounding - “Aftertale”
in the book), and in this way introduce this, his encyclopaedic
masterpiece, The Controversy of Zion”:
.........”Chance,
and possibly my own sense of timing, enabled me to write additional
chapters for Insanity Fair immediately after publication, and
this time the same thing has happened again. But on this occasion
chance has enabled me, in the additional chapter, to give you the best
possible example of the way organized world-Jewry works and of the
immense power it wields in goading world-opinion against Germany. I
imagine anybody who has read these two books will realize that I hold
Germany to be a menace to England, but that I do not identify the cause
of England with that of the foreign Jews.
After
I wrote Insanity Fair I was swamped by offers from American
publishers for my next book. I signed a contract with one firm. When I
began Disgrace Abounding I did not know that it would be an
anti-Semitic book. The anti-Semitic part is the result of my
observation of the Jews in the last year and of my conviction that the
mass influx of Jews to England is a political mistake and a national
misfortune.
The
American publisher, after reading Disgrace Abounding,
declined to publish on the ground that the Semitic part was 'slanderous
and libellous'. Read the Jewish part for yourself and see if this is
true. I, for my part, declined to have the book published anywhere
without the Jewish chapters. The real meaning of that decision is that,
in America, you may 'slander and libel' Germany as much as you like,
and be paid for it, but you must not discuss the Jewish problem, you
must not assert that there is a Jewish problem. Other American
publishers declined the book on the grounds that they could not publish
the Jewish chapters. One of them, not a Jew, said that an American
publisher would court misfortune by publishing it, because 90 per cent
of the American newspapers are Jewish, and the Jewish influence extends
in similar proportion throughout the whole ring of trades connected
with publishing.
I see
very little difference between the Jewish and the Hitlerist method, in
this matter of free speech and free discussion. The Jews are for free
attacks on Germany, nothing else. The same thing happened in some of
the Scandinavian countries, where Insanity Fair had great
success and where publishers were clamouring for the next book - until
they saw the Jewish chapters. They asked to be allowed to publish the
book without them. I refused. The same thing happened in France even
with Insanity Fair, where a publisher contracted for the book
who apparently could not read English and only realized when he saw the
French translation that there was a few passages in it which he did not
consider sufficiently favourable to the Jews. He demanded their
excision, I refused, and he sold the contract to another firm.
So
only in England, as yet, and possibly in France -- although I do not
yet know whether this book will appear in France -- may a non-Jew
openly discuss the for and against of the Jewish question.
The
importance of this, for you, is that you should realize that what is
presented to you as 'American approval' or 'American disapproval' of
this or that action of British policy is not American but Jewish
opinion, and that this puts quite another face on the matter. If you
are to fight Germany again, you must do it for England's sake. You must
not allow yourselves to be egged on by Jews masquerading to-day as
'German public opinion', to-morrow as 'Czechoslovak public opinion',
the day after as 'English public opinion', and the next day as
'American public opinion'. If England suffers disaster in coming years,
the Jews who have come to England in these latter years will not suffer
that misfortune in like measure; they will not feel it as Englishmen
will feel it, they will prosper in chaos, and when they feel that a
lean time is coming for them they will make up their minds to sail
away.
As I
came up the Thames I wondered what my own future would be. I had
promised myself to decide within a very few days whether I would
continue to write about the daily European scene or whether I would cut
loose [ed: altogether?] together, go to Polynesia, Patagonia or Peking,
write about other things than Hitler's eternal invasions.
I
wondered whether, the next time I left England, I should go in one of
those steamers white and gold to some far distant foreign clime. The
decision lay before me. I had a few days' time. While I was locked up
in the Legation at Prague, Disgrace Abounding was published -
the most curious things happen to my books. After my departure from
Prague I read the first reviews of it. Somebody spoke compassionately
of my inferiority complex. I never knew, until I wrote Insanity
Fair, what an inferiority complex was, or that I had one. To
understand these things you have to sit at the feet of some venerable
Jewish professor in Vienna, who soothes you by telling you that your
faults are not your own but the products of your ancestors' hereditary
alcoholism, or something of that sort, and this wise counsel gives you
new strength. The gins of the fathers. - Kraft durch Freud.
I
have no inferiority complex, but only the most normal longings for
England to be better. I have a heavy foreboding for England, whose
rulers have made every mistake they could. I want to see England safe
at home and abroad. Safe at home for the British Derelict Aryans, not
for the Foreign Non-Aryans. Safe abroad from Germany.
Neither
of these things is being done. The danger of a German ultimatum has
been drawing daily nearer. What shall it profit Britain if she lose her
whole Empire and gain only the Jews? Now, at the last moment, a faint
hope offers that a stand will be made - over Poland. Then why not for
Czecho-Slovakia? Why have we handed over the Czech Army, the Czech Air
Force, the Skoda Works, the Czech gold, to Germany? If we were from the
beginning prepared to make this stand, we should have made it years
ago. Then you would have had none of this trouble. You could have
satisfied Germany's just grievances - but you could have compelled her
to keep the peace.......”
