ON
15th July, 1936, Mr. Oliver Locker-Lampson, M.P., a childhood friend of the
Rothschild family, asked in the House of Commons whether the Attorney-General
proposed to institute legal proceedings against the authors or publishers of The Fascist, the issue of that paper for
July containing allegations against the Jews of the practice of ritual murder.
The Attorney-General replied that the matter was under consideration.
As
an ultimate result of this "consideration," I was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment among criminals on 21st September, 1936, the Judge in the
case being a 31st Degree Mason of the Scottish Rite.
But it is important to note that the conviction was obtained, not on the ritual
murder issue alone, which was not relied upon by the Prosecution for the
purpose of silencing me, but on the whole contents of the July Fascist, and particularly on words used
by me with reference to the disposal of the Jews.
Under
the law of libel, the truth of my
statements with reference to Ritual Murder could not be used as an argument in
my defence; it was deemed sufficient under the law that the statements had been
written, and that they "rendered His Majesty's subjects of Jewish faith
liable to suspicion, affront and boycott" and so amounted to a Public
Mischief.
I
came to Court very fully prepared, if the truth of my statements was
challenged, to justify the statements I had made in The Fascist, and was even ready to demand that "Rex," the
prosecutor, should produce from the Public Records Office certain Close and
Patent Rolls of the State wherein Jewish Ritual Murder is recorded as an
established fact in this country! But I was forbidden by the Judge to use this
line of defence; it did not matter who else had charged the Jews with ritual
murder, or how often, or what historic facts proved it, or how many convictions
there had been under proper juridical authority; thus, when I asked Inspector
Kitchener, the only witness who appeared against me, "When you brought
this case, were you under the impression that Ritual Murder was a thing of the
past?" and he replied "Yes," the Judge intervened with the
remark "The truth of a libel is no
defense, I must point out again."
Again,
the Attorney-General, who was acting as Prosecuting Counsel, interrupted
another question of mine to the same witness, by the remark: "In my
submission, it is correctly laid down
that the defendant is in no case allowed to prove the truth of a seditious
libel as a justification for having published it." The Judge then
said, "That is the law as I
understand it." He made it clear to me that to proceed further in such
a line of defence would be contempt of court, as the "truth" of the
"libel" was "irrelevant" to the issue of the trial! Such
may be the law, but it is not justice!
The last thing the Judæo-Masonic Hidden Hand wanted was the truth about Ritual Murder!
Since
I came out of prison on 6th February, 1937, I have, until recently, been too busy
to write on the subject of Ritual Murder; but finding that there are, even
among anti-Jewish workers, people who, never having investigated the matter for
themselves, still imagine that Jewish Ritual Murder not only has not existed
and does not exist, but is a fiction invented by crazy anti-Jewish fanatics,
and as such, exploited by me, in my campaign against the Jews, it becomes
necessary for me to take steps to defend my own reputation as a man of good
faith by compiling and publishing this book.
What
the court procedure prevented me from doing in my own defence, I do now in
these pages, and I have no anxiety concerning the conclusions at which my
readers will arrive on the matter.
The
subject of Ritual Murder has always been one that the Jewish Money Power, which
controls this country as well as most others, has taken all possible steps to
suppress. The reason is that Ritual Murder was the dynamite which finally blew
the Jew out of England in 1290, out of Spain in 1492, and out of Germany in our
time. The Jews know it; and I know it too!
But
there is no British law, and no 11th Commandment, which makes Ritual Murder by
Jews a forbidden topic in this country. Sir Richard Burton's book about it was
published shortly after his death near the end of the last century; Strack's
book, defending the Jews against the accusation, was translated and published
in England in 1909; whilst the Jew, C. Roth, published his Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew in 1935. In France, as in Germany,
there is free speech on the subject.
I
challenge and defy the Judæo-Masonic Power, which rules this country, by
publishing the present work in 1938, not only in my own defence, but in the
public interest to break the attack on Free Speech that is rapidly developing
wherever any criticism of the past or present conduct of Jews is concerned, an
attack which relies for its success upon the ridiculous charge that a breach of
the peace is likely if the truth about them is spoken! I do so in order that
the Jews shall not escape simply through the power of Money and Masonry from
bearing the burden of a charge which, in my opinion, has been proved against
some of them through the ages. My object is, and always has been, in spite of
what my Masonic Judge had to say about it, to alter "a matter of State
established," namely the status of Jews in this country on an equality
with Britons, a condition which is imperilling our civilization, and to
enlighten the public on their true nature as beings possessing instincts
utterly incompatible with our own, so that they may be removed, legally and
peacefully, to a National Home in which they will be required to live together.
In this aim, I keep troth with the greatest of English kings, Edward I, who
expelled the Jews from these shores in 1290.
The
maintenance of Free Speech demands that Jewish Ritual Murder shall be a subject
for open discussion, like Suttee and Thuggee and the sacrifices of Aztec
Mexico, all of which were ritual murders which, like the Jewish variety, would
be practised to-day if the Aryan had not interfered to prevent them. If the
world thinks that I have not, in this book, proved my case, let it laugh! I can
bear it! But can the Jews? The Jewish
Chronicle (25th September, 1936) complained after my trial was over that
there had been no opportunity for the Jews to refute the charge of Ritual
Murder. Well, they have one now!

In
compiling this work I have received the most valuable assistance from certain
members of the Imperial Fascist League, who require no thanks for that help. I
should like to acknowledge the guidance I have received in private letters from
Mr. G., of Bristol, and from the work, Le
Crime Rituel chez les Juifs, by Mr. A. Monniot; also from the articles
contained in Mr. A. Arcand's now defunct paper, Le Miroir, of Montreal.

MY IRRELEVANT DEFENCE:
JEWISH RITUAL MURDER.
CHAPTER I.
HUMAN SACRIFICE A SEMITIC TRADITION.
IT
is incontestable that the ancient "Semites" manifested a peculiar leaning
towards the practice of bloody sacrifices to their gods.
Typical
is the Jewish story of Abraham offering to slay with a knife his first-born,
Isaac, as an offering to Yahweh who had commanded him so to do. More typical
still is the Semitic idea that his god would require such a murder to be done.
In Excavations at Gezer, R. A. S.
Macalister tells us that the bodies of sacrificed young children were found in
all semitic strata; this work describes the remains of
these victims of which pictures are given.
Isaiah
charges the Jews with "enflaming themselves with idols under every green
tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts
of the rocks" (lvii, 5). There are many other Old Testament references to
the practice of sacrificing children to Moloch.
Says
the Rev. J. Kitto in the Cyclopædia of
Biblical Literature, 1895, "their altars
smoked with human blood from the time of Abraham to the fall of the Kingdoms of
Judah and Israel."
G.
A. Dorsey writes in Civilization
(Hamish Hamilton): "Historically their temple at Jerusalem, like a Hindu
or Aztec temple, was a shambles –– one sacrifice after another."
The Jewish Encyclopædia (1904, Vol.
VIII, p. 653) says: "The fact, therefore, now generally accepted by
critical scholars, is that in the last days of the kingdom human sacrifices
were offered to Yhwh as King or Counsellor of the Nation and that the Prophets
disapproved of it ...."
Jesus Himself speaking to the Pharisees (St. John, viii, 44) charges them with being hereditary murderers, which term can have no other meaning than ritual murderers. "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do; he was a murderer from the beginning." This is in the Book on which "witnesses" are sworn when they give evidence against "anti-semites" who expose the murder of Christian children by Jews!
"Rabbinism
was but an unfolding of Pharisaism, the full and swelling stream of corrupt
doctrines, views and practices, of which the rivulets run up to the days of
Christ and stretch back to those of Ezra until they are lost in the
fountain-head, the Religious Philosophy of a debased Zoroastrianism." (Rev. J. Kitto, Cyclopædia of Biblical Literature.)
The trail of the tradition, then, is complete and leads
to Rabbinism.
CHAPTER II.
THE RACIAL URGE.
SOME
people say that it is the Talmud that made the Jew what he is. I take another
view. I say that it is the Jew that made the Talmud.
I
believe that the urge for human sacrifice comes not through religion but through
race; the idea is, I think, an original one, and came
to me from observation on one race in particular, that known as the Armenoid or
Hither Asiatic race, which I consider has a decided instinct towards sadism.
It
is, I believe, the strong Armenoid or Hither Asiatic strain which exists in the
Jewish Nation upon which we have to lay the responsibility for many unpleasant
Jewish traits and practices, among them Ritual Murder.
The
Jews are a nation without a home, not a race; they are a mixture of races, and
the racial constituent which is most frequently to be found among them is the
Armenoid, or, as it is sometimes called, Hither Asiatic. The
other races which have contributed most to the Jewish types, whether Ashkenazim
or Sephardim, are the Mongoloid, Negroid, Oriental and (White) Alpine.
The
Armenoid race seems to have concentrated in
Northward,
in the early centuries A.D., it advanced through the Khazar Empire which
flourished about 730 A.D., the ruler becoming a converted Jew and forcing his
people to do the same. Southward, the race spread over the territories of
Through
the Jewish nation, as everyone knows, it has contaminated almost every country
in the world.
The
Armenoid Race has the following physical characters: Height and build, medium;
head short from back to front, with large and fleshy nose turned down towards
the tip. The lips are rather prominent. The hair is black and curly, the skin
is of the swarthy colour, and the eyes are black or brown. It is a marked
feature of this race that the skull goes straight up at the back; in other
words, the Armenoid has "no back to his head." There is also a
tendency for the eyebrows to "meet" over the nose. The chin is
usually poorly developed.
In
temperament, the Armenoid is the reverse of candid. He excels in low cunning,
as his expression often denotes. He is good at business because of his flair
for detailed meanness, and his knowledge of the lowest aspects of human nature.
He is not usually endowed with much courage, but deliberate cruelty is only too
often manifested in his nature. The spirit of revenge, and the nursing of
hatred against anyone who opposes him, is very marked in people of the Armenoid
type.
Every
nation which contains a considerable proportion of people of Armenoid Race soon
establishes for itself a reputation for cruelty, treachery, dishonesty and
delight in power for the sake of power. That is why such nations never flourish
for long in their own territory. They are not allowed to by their neighbours.
I
hold that it is not primarily the Jewish Religion which makes the Jewish Nation
hated all the world over; it is the strong dose of
Armenoid racial blood in their veins. The Afghan is just as cruel, an Armenoid
Muslim; the Abyssinian just as treacherous, an Armenoid Christian; the Armenian
just as mean, another Armenoid Christian.
A
characteristic of the religions which appeal to Armenoid people (Jews,
Mahommedans and Yezedis) is that the initiation ceremonial usually involves
some sort of mutilation, such as circumcision. The religious laws governing the
slaughter of animals for food are framed and practised without consideration
for the unnecessary pain inflicted on the animals by the methods prescribed.
The ancient Assyrians were Armenoids by race, and were
notorious for their wanton cruelty.
Wherever
the Hither Asiatic or Armenoid Race predominates, there is organised cruelty to
prisoners of war; in Afghanistan, the women come out after a battle to search
for the enemy wounded on whom they practise horrible mutilations; in Southern
Algeria, there is a similar practice against French wounded, whilst recent
operations in Abyssinia prove that there is a craving for the same sort of
thing. The Turks of Armenoid race seem to revel in cold-blooded cruelty, whilst
the Bolshevik Jews of Russia, Hungary, Spain and elsewhere have established the
twentieth century as being as barbarous as the twelfth . . . simply because of
the racial instincts possessed by imported Armenoids.
According
to the Jewish Encyclopædia, 1903,
Vol. IV, p. 99, when performing the operation of circumcision on children, the
mohel (operator) "takes some wine in his mouth and applies his lips to the
part involved in the operation, and exerts suction, after which he expels the
mixture of wine and blood into a receptacle provided."
Surely this "religious rite" stamps the
Armenoid as something basically different from ourselves?
All is Race; there is no other truth.
The
Aryan mind grasps with difficulty the idea that any human race can have an
instinct towards sadistic sacrifice, for the Aryan has himself no such
instinct. The Englishman does not realise that the Jew, the Afghan, and the
Armenian are differently constituted from himself, and it is his own
good-nature which has largely been responsible for the Judaisation of mind
which he himself has acquired by allowing Jews to control him for so long.
I
am convinced that it is to the Race rather than to the Talmud or the Kabbala
that we must look before we can understand the urge for Ritual Murder and the
love of torture which crops up in individuals in all countries into which the
Hither Asiatic or Armenoid Race has penetrated.
CHAPTER III.
HUMAN SACRIFICE
I AM
not a student of the Talmud. I have no intention of becoming one. For the same
reason, I shall not become a student of Occultism or of Drainage Systems. I
smell the bad smells and remain aloof.
Nevertheless,
because the advocates of Jewry use a certain line of argument in denying that
there has ever been any such thing as Ritual Murder of Christians by Jews, I am
obliged to quote a few unimpeachable authorities on the subject.
This
"argument" is that the Jewish religious law not only does not sanction
the practice of Ritual Murder, but forbids the consumption of blood altogether.
It is an argument that has been used throughout the ages, and is used now, and
has even been the foundation for the verdict "Not Guilty," in cases
where Jews have been on trial for ritual murder!
It
was the argument used by the Sultan of Turkey when, for money bribes, he issued
a firman (1840) saying that the Ritual Murder Accusations against Jews were
calumnies. (Described in later chapters in more detail).
But
it is known that there have always been two methods of instruction among the
Jews: one Exoteric, which openly
taught the Laws of Moses and the Rabbinical
traditions; the other Esoteric, or
mysteries confided only to certain persons bound to secrecy. This latter, the
Esoteric teaching, is associated with Occultism and what is known as Black
Magic, and the Mystical Cabbala is its source, for certain rites and ceremonies
blood is necessary; and secret rites exist which are known only to the few.
Even
if the written Jewish Laws do not sanction the practice it does not prove that
Jews have not done Murder in accordance with some Occult Ritual. Let a Jew
speak for us here: ––
Bernard
Lazare, a Jew who was stated (Jewish
Encyclopædia, 1904, Vol.
"To this general belief are added the suspicions,
often justified, against the Jews addicted to magical practices. Actually, in
the Middle Ages, the Jew was considered by the people
as the magician par excellence; one finds many formula of
exorcism in the Talmud, and the Talmudic and Cabbalistic demonology is very
complicated. Now one knows the position that blood always occupies in the
operations of sorcery. In Chaldean magic it had a very great importance....
Now, it is very probable, even certain, that Jewish magicians must have
sacrificed children; hence the origin of the legend of ritual
sacrifice."
It
is well known, as will be shown in Chapter VI, that
Occult Rituals exist in which all sorts of abominable practices are carried
out, and that they arise from the Jewish Cabbala.
How ridiculous then is the
"argument" that because the Mosaic Laws and the Talmud do not demand
Ritual Murder, and even forbid the use of blood, Isaac Abrahams cannot be
guilty of any sort of Ritual Murder!
Take
an analogous case. The Eighth Commandment forbids stealing. Have you ever heard
that fact brought up in the defence of a Christian on trial for that crime? Can
you imagine prisoner's counsel arguing that John Smith could not have stolen a
purse from William Brown because the Christian religion forbids such a thing?
More, can you imagine counsel getting away with such an argument? But that is
what the Jews have often succeeded in doing.
So
stupid is this hysterical shriek, "Our Laws do not permit it," that
I, as a scientific investigator, would be willing to concede it as a fact,
without further investigation of the Jewish laws, that Ritual Murder is
contrary to these laws. I would concede it because the point is of no importance
whatever to my case against the Jew. If the point were established what
difference does it make to the verdict of the Trent affair, the Damascus
affair, or to the scores of cases I am going to bring before you in later
chapters?
Another point. Is it likely
that we should find clear sanction for such a crime as Ritual Murder in the
Jewish Laws? Why, if such a thing were to be found, I venture to say that not a
Jew would be left alive, so great would be the popular indignation against the
Jewish nation. We should treat them exactly as Sir W. H. Sleeman treated the
Thugs, the ritual murderers of India, when he stamped them out of existence as
hereditary criminals in the last century.
Dr.
Erich Bischoff, the chief German authority on Jewish law and religion, claims
to have laid his finger on a passage authorising Ritual Murder in the Thikunne Zohar (Edition Berdiwetsch, 88
b), a book of cabbalistic theosophy. The passage runs:
"Furthermore,
there is a commandment pertaining to the killing of strangers, who are like
beasts. This killing has to be done in the lawful method. Those who do not
ascribe themselves to the Jewish religious law must be offered up as sacrifices
to the High God."
Dr. Bischoff may be right. I venture no opinion.
Nevertheless,
the Jewish Laws do tell us something; without any direct sanctioning of Ritual Murder, they show us without any
possibility of doubt, that the Jew is normally at war spiritually with the rest
of mankind, and upon this argument I base my statement that Jewish Laws show
ample foundation for the scientific investigator to take the view that there is
nothing improbable in the reality of Jewish Ritual Murder.
I am not going to take the
same line as other anti-Jewish investigators have done about this matter; I am
not going to quote any Mosaic Laws nor any Talmudic
tenets. I am simply going to quote the great explorer and orientalist, Sir
Richard Burton, a Briton who made it his business to study the Talmud closely
and recorded his conclusions on the relations it revealed as existing between
Jew and Gentile. I quote now from his The
Jew, the Gypsy and El Islam, edited by W. H. Wilkins, and published by
Messrs. Hutchinson in 1898.
Page 73. "The most important and pregnant tenet of modern
Jewish belief is that the Ger, or stranger, in fact all those who do not belong
to their religion, are brute beasts, having no more rights than the fauna of
the field."
I
have long known this to be the Key of International Politics; and it shows that
what would be Murder to an Aryan is only Slaughter to a Talmudic Jew.
Page 81. "The Talmud declares that there are two kinds of
blood pleasing to the Lord, viz: (1) that of the Paschal holocaust; (2) that of
circumcision."
(The Paschal holocaust is
the Easter sacrifice.)
I
suppose every nation has the God it deserves and admires. What sort of a people
is this whose God finds the blood obtained from
mutilations of human genital organs as "pleasing"?
Sir
Richard Burton comments:
Page 115. "Obviously
such cruel and vindictive teaching as that recounted in the previous chapter
must bear fruit in crime and atrocities."
The
Jewish Schulchan Aruch, which codified
the teachings of the Talmud, goes much further in sanctioning shameful
practices against the Gentile; I do not quote it because my object is not to
excite retaliation, but to mark down the Jews as having been responsible,
either collectively or individually, for ritual murders. I want the Gentile to
take steps to remove the Jews from our midst by expulsion to a National Home of
their own, and by legal means.
There
is good reason to think that it is the "Chassidim" sect to which most
recent Jewish Ritual Murders can be traced; the Chassidim is sometimes
considered to be a modern sect which arose in Poland only in the 18th century;
but the Jewish Encyclopædia (1905),
Vol. IX, p. 661, says that the Pharisees were originally identical with the
Chassidim; the Chassidim are fanatical to a degree, and soaked in mysticism.
CHAPTER IV.
THE MOTIVE
THE
motive of Ritual Murder of Christians by Jews is almost certainly hate. It is in fact the same motive that Disraeli admitted
to be the cause of revolutionary activities against Gentile governments; to use
his words (from Life of Lord George
Bentinck, 1852): "The people of
God co-operate with atheists; the most skilful accumulators of property ally
themselves with Communists; the peculiar and chosen Race touch the hand of all
the scum and low castes of Europe; and all this because they wish to destroy
that ungrateful Christendom which owes to them even its name, and whose tyranny
they can no longer endure."
Hatred
of Christianity is a tradition among the Jews: just as hate of
One
of the principal Jewish feast-days is that of Purim. This feast is an orgy of
hate against Haman, the story of whom is found in the Book of Esther of the Old
Testament. The story, which is probably a myth, is that Xerxes, King of Persia,
became enamoured of a Jewess, Esther, and made her Queen in place of his
rightful wife. Haman, the King's minister, complained to him of the conduct of
the Jews who, he said, did not keep the laws, and obtained from the King an
order to slay them. Esther pleaded with the King and prevailed upon him to
summon Haman to a banquet. There, Queen Esther further prevailed upon the King
to spare the Jews and hang Haman on a gallows prepared for the execution of her
guardian. Instead of the Jews being destroyed, their enemies were slaughtered,
including Haman's ten sons, who were hanged.
This
feast is often celebrated by an exhibition of gluttony, intoxication, and
curses on the memory of Haman; and even to this day in London, the Jewish
bakers make cakes in the shape of human ears which are eaten by the Jews on
this day, and are called "Haman's Ears," revealing once again the
inherent hate and barbarism of the Jew in our midst.
The
two principal feast-days associated with Ritual Murder have been (1) Purim, and
(2) Passover, the latter at Easter and the former about one month before it.
When a Ritual Murder occurred at Purim, it was usually that of an adult
Christian who was murdered for his blood; it is said that the blood was dried
and the powder mixed into triangular cakes for eating; it is possible that the
dried blood of a Purim murder might sometimes be used for the following
Passover.
When
a Ritual Murder was done at Passover, it was usually that of a child under
seven years old, as perfect a specimen as possible, who was not only bled
white, but crucified, sometimes circumcised and crowned with thorns, tortured,
beaten, stabbed, and sometimes finished off by wounding in the side in
imitation of the murder of Christ. The blood taken from the child was mixed
either in the powdered state or otherwise into the Passover bread.
Another
festival at which it is thought that Ritual Murder has sometimes been indulged
in is Chanucah, which occurs in December, commemorating the recovery of
Examples
of Purim murders are those of
Although
hate is the principal motive, superstitious traditions are also involved, one
being the association of blood-sacrifices with the idea of atonement; some Jews
have confessed that Jewry cannot be saved or return to Zion unless every year
the blood of a Christian is obtained for the purpose of ritual consumption.
Political
murders, such as the Jewish murder of the Tsar and his family and of other
Russians, have sometimes been accompanied by features suggestive of ritual, but
I do not wish to complicate this book by guessing at the meaning of signs left
symbolically by the murderers.
CHAPTER V.
"A RELIC OF THE DAYS OF
WITCHCRAFT
ON
Unfortunately
for the signatories of this letter, who numbered among them the Archbishops of
Canterbury, York and Armagh, the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Bishops
galore, Dukes, Earls, Justices, Masters of Colleges and Editors, of that
period, the Blood Accusation has nothing mediæval about it at all; it was more
rife in the 19th century than it was in mediæval times!
Unfortunately
also, Black Magic is in the same category. It is not mediæval either; there
never was a wider cult of Black Magic than there is in the year of Our Lord
1938!
How
extraordinary it is that influential men can be induced to sign such a
statement as I have quoted! And how strange it is that, where Jewish interests
are at stake, these same influential Christian men will see nothing improper in
attempting to prejudice the course of the criminal trial of the Jew Beiliss at
Let
us confound the signatories of The Times letter out of the mouths of Jews
themselves. The Jewish Encyclopædia,
1903, Vol. III, pp. 266-7, gives a list of Accusations of Ritual Murder made
against the Jews through the centuries; 122 cases are listed in chronological
order, and no less than 39 of them were made in the 19th century! There were
far more than double the number of Blood Accusations made in the 19th century
than in any previous century, according to this authoritative Jewish list.
Let
us examine the list of Ritual Murder Accusations made by a converted Jew,
Cesare Algranati, in 1913, and published in Cahiers
Romains; here are listed 101 accusations, of which 28 were made in the 19th
century and only 73 for all the eight preceding centuries! Even the Jew Roth
gives the argument away, for he says (p. 16 of his Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew, 1935), "The nineteenth
century proved little less credulous than those which preceded it."
"Anti-semitic"
authors' lists of Blood Accusations agree in this respect with the lists made
by Jews; Der Stürmer, the paper of
Julius Streicher, in a special Ritual Murder issue published in 1934, shows
that in the 19th century 32 charges of ritual murder were made, which is ten
more than in any other century in European history recorded by it.
The
fact that the charges increase in number as the age becomes more and more
enlightened is particularly significant, because the Jewish Money Power and its
silencing activities are more developed than ever before and might have been
expected to reduce the number of charges.
Sufficient
has now been said to expose the absurdity of any attempt to consign the Blood
Accusation to any mediæval limbo.
It lives
to-day; I may say with the great Sir Richard Burton (The Jew, the Gypsy and El Islam, 1898, p. 129): "At any rate,
sufficient has been advanced in these pages to open the eyes of the student and
the ethnographer; it will stand on record until Elijah."
CHAPTER VI.
"IT COULDN'T HAPPEN NOW."
THIS
argument, "It couldn't happen now," seems quite good enough for a lot
of people when it is applied to the matter of Jewish Ritual Murder. It is,
perhaps, comforting to the democratic mind to think that "Progress"
ensures that such an evil practice, even if it occurred in unenlightened days,
could not have survived to-day.
I wish I could see any comfort in this argument, but I
don't. There are no facts to support it.
That the Aryan peoples have
progressed I do not deny; but I do not think there is any evidence to show any
like progress among some of the other races.
Compare
the following two happenings, noting the dates:

"Then
the Jews in Cyrene (on the modern Tripoli coast of North Africa) choosing as
their leader one Andreas, slew the Romans and Greeks, and devoured their
bodies, drank the blood, clothed themselves in the flayed skins, and sawed many
in half from the head downwards; some they threw to wild beasts and others were
compelled to fight in single combat, so that in all 220,000 were killed. In

I
cannot see much difference in outlook between the Jewish devils responsible for
both these massacres, even though there are 18 centuries between them!
In view of that, why boggle at the idea of Jewish Ritual
Murder still surviving?
Why
make such a fuss when Jews are charged with the practice of Ritual Murder?
Other Asiatics are known to have practised it until 1850, and, if left to themselves, would doubtless have maintained the custom.
In
Then
the British Government decided the thing must stop. After many years of
investigation, Sir W. H. Sleeman stamped out the Thug sect, and no Thuggee
murders are on record since 1850. He found that Thuggee was hereditary among
male members of a family, and he achieved his object by confining in
segregation for life all male members of Thug families.
Now
my point is that Thuggee happened;
and happened in the 19th century until the British put an end to it under
Sleeman. It was a long time before the British administration learned of the
existence of Thuggee, so carefully was it concealed; another analogy with
Jewish Ritual Murder!
"It couldn't happen now." Why not?
And

As Aryan rule over
"It couldn't happen now." Why not, again?
Here
is an extract from Magick by the
"Master Therion", published in 1929 by the Lecram Press, 26 Rue d'Hautpool,
". . . it was the theory of
the ancient magicians that any living being is a storehouse of energy varying
in quantity according to the size and health of the animal, and in quality
according to its mental and moral character. At the death of the animal this
energy is liberated suddenly. The animal should therefore be killed within the
Circle, or Triangle, as the case may be, so that its energy cannot escape.... For the highest spiritual working one must
accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force. A
male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory
and suitable.”
A
footnote on p. 95 says "(4) It appears from the
Magical Records of Frater Perdurabo that he
made this particular sacrifice on an average about 150 times every year between
1912 e.v. and 1928 e.v."
This footnote refers to the last sentence in the
paragraph quoted above. The italics are all mine.
"It couldn't happen now." Why not, in the
Devil's name?
Sir
Richard Burton shows that the disappearance of children at Passover was talked
of in
It
couldn't happen now? But the Jewish method of cattle slaughter happens now and
is specially exempted from the objects of the Slaughter of Animals Act, 1933,
which Act orders that all cattle for Gentile food must be stunned with a
mechanically-operated instrument before the throat is cut. The Jewish method is
cutting the throat from ear to ear without any previous stunning. It has been
condemned by a Government Commission held in 1904 as failing in rapidity,
freedom from unnecessary pain and instantaneous loss of sensibility. Yet it
"happens now" and is protected in this our England, by an English
Law, and remains unattacked by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
Why couldn't it happen now?
To
this day, we learn from Jewish sources (B'nai
B'rith Messenger, California, 3rd April, 1936) that the Samaritans, an
unorthodox Jewish sect who keep Passover by solar computation, indulge in
bloody sacrifices of animals on that feast-day; an account is given of a visit
to the scene of sacrifice on Mount Gerizim in the 20th century, and these words
are used:
"I
have heard the wild, primitive scream of triumph as the knife is withdrawn from
the neck of the lamb of sacrifice."
Here
is a paragraph from a periodical which shall be unnamed, of 1936, showing that
the urge to the "Mysteries" is not dead:
"The sophisticated Pharisee of the 20th century
unceasingly gives thanks that he has outgrown the fables and rituals of the
Ancients. The worldly-wise man loves the evident and is exasperated by that
which is not evident. Plutocrat and proletarian alike regard themselves as
victimised by that person whose words or actions they do not understand. We
love the obvious because it flatters us, and hate the mysterious because it
damns our intelligence with faint praise. Riddles are irksome. The modern cry
is for facts. Yet, with facts for his fetish, the modernist is more foolish
than his forebears. Decrying superstition, he is most superstitious; rejecting
fancies, he is the fanciful product of a fictitious age. The modern world is
bored with its own importance; life itself has become a
botheration. Suffering from chronic ennui, how can a world ever become
interested in anything but itself? Smothered in their self-complacency, these
all-sufficient ones ask for facts. But what facts are there that fools can
understand? How can the helpless superficial grasp the hopelessly profound, for
are not realities reserved for the wise?"
Alongside this clotted nonsense was
a picture of a ritual murder, with the victim crucified, below it, a portrait
of the author, an obvious Jew.
I
take it that "it would happen now" if this Jew had his way!
CHAPTER
JEWISH RITUAL MURDER IN
EXPULSION OF 1290.
THE
first known case happened in 1144; after that, cases cropped up from time to time
until the Jews were expelled from the realm by Edward I. The most famous of
these cases was that of Little St. Hugh of
1144.
In
J. C. Cox's
John
Foxe's Acts and Monuments of the Church
records this ritual murder, as did the Bollandists and other historians. The
Prior, William Turbe, who afterwards became Bishop of Norwich, was the leading
light in insisting that the crime was one of Jewish Ritual Murder; in the Dictionary of National Biography (edited
by a Jew!) it is made clear that his career, quite apart from this Ritual
Murder case, is that of a man of great strength of character and moral courage.

Hugh
was locally beatified, and his tomb may still be seen in Lincoln Cathedral, but
the Jewish Money Power has evidently been at work, for between 1910 and 1930, a
notice was fixed above the shrine as follows: "The body of Hugh was given
burial in the Cathedral and treated as that of a martyr. When the Minster was
repaved, the skeleton of a small child was found beneath the present tombstone.
There are many incidents in the story which tend to throw doubt upon it, and
the existence of similar stories in England and elsewhere points to their
origin in the fanatical hatred of the Jews of the Middle Ages and the common superstition,
now wholly discredited, that ritual murder was a factor of Jewish Paschal
Rites. Attempts were made as early as the 13th century by the Church to protect
the Jews against the hatred of the populace and against this particular
accusation."

one questions the historical facts in this case; but Jews and Judaised Gentiles
unite in denying the fact of Ritual Murder.
Strack,

written in defence of the Jews against the Blood Accusation, omits all mention of this famous case,
which is the subject of the Prioress's Tale (Canterbury Tales) of Chaucer and is referred to in Marlowe's Jew of Malta. Hyamson's History of the Jews in England devotes
the whole of Chapter IX to "Little St. Hugh of

Jews, in attempting to escape responsibility for these deaths by Ritual Murder,
do not hesitate to impugn the probity of two of the Kings of England, against
whose moral character no one else has dared to cast a slur. Here are some
examples. From the Jewish Chronicle
Supplement, April, 1936, p. 8 (speaking of the

and especially under the zealously Christian Edward I, the Crown and its
officers became almost a worse peril to the Jews than mobs intent on loot and
led on by fanatic priests and money. When 18th century writers of history began
to examine the old records in a new sceptical temper, some may be found
venturing on such unkind surmises as that the alleged crucifixions of Christian
children only seemed to happen when kings were short of money." The foul
accusation against men of upright character is repeated by the Jew Hyamson (History of the Jews in England, 1928
edition, p. 21), who writes: "It has also been pointed out that the Blood
Accusation was as a rule made at a time at which the Royal Treasury needed
replenishing."

WELL AUTHENTICATED CASES IN EARLY

order, in which there seems to me to be no reason whatever to dispute the
historical accuracy of the facts given.
In
this Chapter, I record such cases between 1171 and 1510 inclusive; and I would
point out to the reader the great importance of the murder of St. Simon of
Trent in 1475 and of the Toledo case in 1490; in fact, should the reader be one
of those who approach the subject as unbelievers, I recommend that he should
read about these two cases first, and the others after.

No
one has ever dared to try and deny the historical events of this case; only the
Jews invent "reasons" why it was not Ritual Murder! But there is no
escape from the opposite conclusion. In 1759 in answer to a Jewish appeal from
Poland, the Inquisition sent Cardinal Ganganelli (later he became Pope Clement
XIV) to investigate and report on the whole subject, with particular reference
to the many cases then being reported in Poland; although this man went out
with a biased mind in favour of the Jews (in his report, he says: "With my
weak faculties I endeavoured to
demonstrate the non-existence of the crime which was imputed to the Jewish
nation in Poland," hardly the spirit in which to enter upon such an
investigation!), he actually says of this Trent case (see Report of Cardinal
Ganganelli, in C. Roth's The Ritual
Murder Libel and the Jew, 1935, p. 83): "I admit then as true the fact
of the Blessed Simon, a boy three years old, killed by the Jews in Trent in the
year 1475 in hatred of the faith of Jesus Christ (although it is disputed by
Basnage and Wagenseil); for the celebrated Flaminio Cornaro, a Venetian
Senator, in his work On the Cult of the Child
St. Simon of Trent (Venice, 1753) disposes of all the doubts raised by the
above-mentioned critics."
The
Jews try to throw discredit on the judges who condemned the Jewish murderers by
quoting Pope Sixtus IV who refused to sanction the cult of St. Simon; but the
reason for this was that the cult was not then authorised by Rome, but was a
popular movement without authority and contrary to Church discipline;
this same Pope later expressed his approval of the verdict on the Jews in
the Papal Bull XII Kal. July, 1478.
We
have not only the testimony as to the correctitude of the proceedings from
Sixtus IV; but also that of several other Popes; such as Sixtus V, who
regularised the popular cult of St. Simon by ratifying it in 1588, as cited by
Benedict XIV in Book I, Ch. xiv, No. 4 of his On the Canonisation of the Saints; also by this same Pope Benedict
XIV in his Bull Beatus Andreas of
22nd February, 1755, in which he confirms Simon as a saint, a fact omitted from
the arguments of that advocate for the Jews, Strack (The Jew and Human Sacrifice); Gregory XIII recognised Simon as a
martyr, and even visited the shrine; and, as already stated, Clement XIV was
obliged to recognise that it was a case of Jewish murder in hatred of
Christianity.

Writing
of the efforts made to discredit the trials in this case, Walsh says (p. 464):
"Must we assume that they (the two learned juries) were all murderous
fanatics, willing to sacrifice innocent men, and that Dr. Loeb, Dr. Lea, and on
the Catholic side the somewhat too credulous Abbe Vacandard were better
qualified to weigh the evidence after the lapse of four centuries?"
Walsh
is not an "anti-semite." He is a historian, and has not suggested
that ritual murder is part of any official
Jewish ceremony. But he says: "The historian, far from being obliged
to make wholesale vindication of all Jews accused of murder, is free, in fact,
bound to consider each individual case upon its merits."
Walsh
states (p. 441) that this case of Ritual Murder was "one of the chief factors,
if not the decisive one, in the decision of Fernando and Isabel" (for the
expulsion of the Jews from
Walsh
charges Lea, the pro-Jewish author, of intellectual dishonesty (p. 628) in
writing in his Inquisition in Spain decrying
the influential men who were jurors in this case.
"If
the Inquisitors sent eight men to a shameful death without being convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt of their guilt, the honest verdict of history cannot
shrink from finding not only Torquemada and his judges, but King Fernando and
Queen Isabel, Cardinal Mendoza and several of the most illustrious professors
of Salamanca University guilty of complicity in one of the most brutal judicial
murders on record." (Walsh, p. 442.)
Those
who shrink from charging the Jews with the practice of Ritual Murder thereby
condemn some of the finest characters on the stage of European history.

Achille
Laurent, a Member of the Société Orientale, brought together the full details
of the trial of the culprits as reported in Arab newspapers at the time, and he
published the whole facts of the case in Relation
historique des Affaires de Syrie, 1840-1842 (Historic Account of Syrian
Affairs, 1840-1842), which was produced in France as a Yellow Book in two
volumes, in 1846.
The
Jewish Festival of Purim fell on
The
French Consul, Comte Ratti-Menton, began to make enquiries, and got the Sherif
Pasha to investigate. After a while seven Jews were arrested. They confessed,
some after receiving chastisement with the bastinado, to having murdered Father
Thomas for the sake of his blood. Four of them were promised pardon if they
would speak the truth; these were Mousa Abou-el-Afieh, who became a Mahomedan,
explaining that that was necessary before he could confess about the crimes of
other Jews; Aslan Farkhi; Suliman, a barber; and Mourad el Fathal. They
confessed very fully. Sixteen Jews were found to have been involved, and all
were arrested.
Several
of the Jews, including Mourad el Fathal, Mousa Abou-el-Afieh, Isaac Arari and
Aaron Arari, described how the blood was required and collected from the cut
throat of the victim to send to a Rabbi for use in preparing ceremonial bread (pains azymes).
The
Grand Rabbi was brought before the Court of Investigation; his name was Yakoub
el Entabi. He was required to listen carefully to the examination of Mousa
Abou-el-Afieh, and to the answers of that Jew, and to confirm or deny each
statement made by Mousa. In this way, the Rabbi admitted that blood was
required for the ceremonial bread. He also confessed to having received Father
Thomas's blood.
According
to the Turkish custom, the bastinado was freely applied to make the Jews speak.
The Jewish Money Power has endeavoured to make the world believe that it was
only the torture which enforced confession from innocent men.
Unfortunately
for the Jewish Money Power, one of the questions asked was about the place
where the remains of Father Thomas had been disposed of; and the remains were found where the prisoners said they
were –– that is, in a covered conduit. These remains were identified by
European doctors as being those of Father Thomas.
Further,
the wretches confessed to serving Father Thomas's servant in the same way,
i.e., cutting his throat, collecting his blood, and disposing of the remains,
this time in a latrine.
No amount
of bastinado or torture could wring from an innocent
man information as to the whereabouts of the remains of the victim of a murder.
We
spare the reader the sickening details of the crime according to the
confessions and admissions of the depraved Jewish murderers; long extracts from
the trial's proceedings can be obtained in the following French book: Le Crime Rituel chez les Juifs, by A.
Monniot, prefaced by the celebrated Edouard Drumont, 1914, from P. Tequi, 82
Rue Bonaparte, Paris, price 10 francs. This book shows that the confessions
made by the culprits agreed in every detail, and that the questions they had to
answer were not "leading questions".
Fourteen
Jews were found guilty, and ten were condemned to death, two having died.
Our
business is not to horrify; it is to expose the methods of Jewish intrigue and
corruption which were used to conceal the guilt of the culprits in fear of the
natural reaction of the Gentile to the facts if they became generally known.
As
soon as the first reports of the case reached the West of Europe the Jewish
Money Power rose like one man to try and cover the obvious tracks made
by the obvious criminals. Money can,
as we know only too well, accomplish wonders on a democracy as also on the
findings and policy of Eastern (and alas! often also Western) potentates.
It
will perhaps be best to deal with each of these matters separately:
1. The Press Agitation. This was on the usual Jewish lines; Ritual
Murder was "a Gentile invention"; Comte Ratti-Menton, the French
Consul, who had insisted on the investigation, was attacked from every angle;
the Jews were being persecuted, and so on and so forth.
2. Agitation by Public Meetings. For example, in
3. Bribery of the Khedive of
Note
the result. The Jews proclaimed everywhere that the Khedive had reversed the
verdict! He had done nothing of the kind.
There was no reversal and no re-trial. The words of the Khedive's firman
which he issued to release the Jewish murderers give the whole thing away:
"From the account and demand of Messrs. Moses
Montefiore and Cremieux, who came to us as delegates of all Europeans
professing the religion of Moses, we have recognised that they desire the
liberation and safety for the Jews who have been detained or who have taken
flight in the case of the examination of the affair of Father Thomas, monk,
missing in Damascus; he and his servant, Ibrahim.
"And as, because of their numerous population, it
would not be convenient (convenable)
to refuse their demand and request, we order that the Jew prisoners shall be
released and that the fugitives be given safety for their return. And you will
take all possible measures that none are badly treated and that they are left
undisturbed everywhere. Such is our will. Mehemet Ali."
He
released the Jews therefore because of the numbers of Jews in the population .
. . and undoubtedly for cash received. He knew their guilt, and never denied
it. Yet the Jewish Encyclopædia
(1903, Vol. IV, p. 420) actually ventures to assert that the three rich Jews
secured from the Khedive a "recognition of the innocence" of the
condemned men. The Khedive's price for releasing them is stated to have been half
a million piastres. A converted Rabbi, Chevalier P. L. B. Drach, wrote in his The Harmony between the Church and the
Synagogue (1844,
4. Bribery of the Sultan. Having
won the first round with the Khedive, the Jew Montefiore went on to see the
Sultan of Turkey, and secured from him a decree that the Blood Accusation was
baseless and that the Jews henceforth were to be on the same footing in the
Sultan's dominions as other non-Muslims. The price of this was a huge bribe
from the House of Rothschild.
The
Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid's firman said "that a thorough examination of the
religious books of the Hebrews has demonstrated the absolute prohibition of the
use of either human or animal blood in any of their religious rites. It follows
from this defence that the charges against them and their religion are
calumnies." This, as shown in Chapter III, is mere sophistry, but even in
1936 a Miss C. M. Finn had the effrontery to bring forward the firman as
"evidence" that the Blood Accusation is false; this was in a letter
to the Jewish Chronicle,
The wording of the firman is quoted in the Jewish Encyclopædia, Vol. I, p. 47 (1906).
On
his way home, Montefiore tried to get an audience with the Pope, Gregory XVI,
but was refused an audience.
5. Attempted Bribery of the French Consul. Comte Ratti-Menton, the French Consul who had
shown such determination in having the ritual murderers dealt with, and who was
a most upright man, wrote to the Sherif Pasha on 22nd April to say that the
Jews had, through the Austrian Consulate, offered him half a million piastres
to have the evidence suppressed. Needless to say, when this honourable man was
found incorruptible, the advocates of the Jews got busy as stated above to
besmirch his reputation. Thiers, the French Foreign Secretary, replying to
Jew-inspired attacks on the French Consul Ratti-Menton, stated in the Chamber
of Deputies, 3rd June, 1840, "Let it be known to you, gentlemen, I repeat
it, that in all the Chancellories the Israelites are in insistence for that
affair and our Consul can lean only on the Minister of Foreign Affairs for
France. A French agent who is in his right will always be protected against all
influences, whatever they may be." M. Thiers also said that the Comte's
superior officer, M. Cochelet, Consul for

Throughout the proceedings, the Austrian Consul supported the Jews
against the charge of ritual murder. Here, from a Jewish source, is the reason,
duly confessed:

7. Suppression of the Reports of the Trial. We have already mentioned in the second
paragraph of this description of the case the record of the trial published in
Achille Laurent's book. This book cannot now be obtained anywhere. Gougenot des
Mousseaux, however, had printed a very full account of the trial (taken from
Laurent) in his work Le Juif, le Judaisme
et la Judaisation des Peuples Chretiens, a work which earned for him the
praise of Pope Pius IX who made him a Chevalier; and the writer has had a copy
of this lent to him. But Gougenot des Mousseaux's book is now very rare, and
the Chevalier himself died suddenly in mysterious circumstances nine hours
after receiving a warning letter. Monniot, in a work mentioned in the
Bibliography (p. 56), has, however, made it easy for anyone who desires to read
the details of the trial to do so.
But,
the reader may ask, what about the official dossier of the affair? This
naturally reposed in the archives of the French Foreign Office. But Desportes
in his Mystère du Sang reported that

proceedings, they were all acquitted as the result of the Organised Power of
Jewish Money.
Esther
Solymosi, 14 years old, disappeared on 1st April; the five-year-old son of the
Jewish sexton told some women that his mother had enticed the girl into their
house, whence she had been slipped by some Jews into the synagogue premises.
This report came to the ears of Mrs. Solymosi, Esther's mother, who immediately
reported to the police. An enquiry was set on foot, on 19th May, under Dr.
Josef Bary, and it is largely from a book written 50 years later by Dr. Bary,
who became President of the Supreme Court of Justice in
Another
son of the Jewish sexton was Maurice Scharf, aged 14. He admitted that he had
seen through the keyhole of the synagogue door that Esther had been murdered by
certain Jews and bled white, her blood being collected in a vase. It was found
by ocular view on the spot that the place where these events were said to have
occurred was actually in sight to anyone looking through the keyhole. Witnesses
also said they had heard cries from the synagogue on the day when the girl was
first missing.
To
test the veracity of the 14-year-old Maurice, the Judge told him that his tale
could not be true as Esther was alive; the boy replied that "no one could
be alive after being cut on the neck like that."
A
number of Jews were arrested, and confessed that they had taken part in the
ritual murder of Esther to get her blood for the Passover.
One
would think that there would be little more to report.
But
no! All
1. By paying the debts of, or bribing the
officials.
2. By offering Esther's
mother a bribe to say that her daughter was alive and in a situation elsewhere.
This was done by the Jew Reiszmann.
3. By trying to steal the Court records from the
house of the Judge.
4. By altering the synagogue lock, so that it
was no longer possible to see the place of the murder by looking through the
keyhole.
5. By spreading reports that Esther had run
away; or had been drowned. The Examining Judge caused the river to be dragged
without result.
6. By arranging that a corpse should turn up and
be "identified" as Esther's. On 18th June, a girl's body dressed in
Esther's clothes, which were far too small for the purpose, was drawn out of
the River Theiss by Jewish raftsmen. The mother denied that the corpse was
Esther's although she recognised Esther's clothes. A committee of experts
examined the body, and found that the hair and eyebrows had been shaved off,
obviously to conceal identity. They also found that the body was that of a girl
18 years old (Esther was only 14) and that death was due not to drowning but to
tuberculosis. It became so obvious that the body had been "found" for
a purpose, that the Jewish raftsmen were interrogated; and they confessed that
the corpse had been taken over by them from a Jew called Herschko, that it had
been dressed in Esther's clothes, put in the river, and then
"discovered" and landed.
It
was found also that the body could not have been in the water over four days;
that death could not have taken place more than 10 days previously. Esther had
been missing for 78 days.
However,
in spite of all this exposure of corruption, the Court found itself, as it
were, an isolated unit in a hostile
Then
it was found that on
The
sort of thing that had been "worked" against all the evidence may be
explained by giving one example: In November, 1882, a new Committee of Experts
was formed to make a further examination of the body found in the river five months before, and this committee declared
that the findings of the former committee had no scientific basis, that the
body was Esther's and that as the throat was not cut, it could not have been a
case of ritual murder!
So
ends a dismal tale of the foulest Jewish trickery to enable a few miserable
degenerates to escape from well-merited punishment.
1891.
1899. The
Polna Case (
Agnes Hruza, 19 years of
age, was murdered
A
man called Peschak had seen a Jew Hilsner with two other Jews on the day of the
murder on the spot where the body was found. Hilsner was arrested and tried;
another witness testified that he had seen the prisoner very agitated on 29th
March, coming from the spot where the body was found.
The
Court, whilst recognising that Hilsner must have had accomplices, found him
guilty and condemned him to death. He then confessed, and implicated two other
Jews, but later retracted these statements, as also his confession. The two men
produced satisfactory alibis.
By
the Power of Jewish Money and the agitation it was able to raise, a new trial
was ordered. Meanwhile Dr. Baxa, attorney for the murdered girl's mother, had
in a speech in the Bohemian Diet, 28th December, accused the Government of
showing partiality to the Jews in the way they handled this case.
Then,
another girl's body was found, too decomposed to show the cause of death; this
was the body of Maria Klima who had disappeared
Dr.
Baxa insisted that it was a case of Ritual Murder. The Court found the prisoner
guilty, without however alleging ritual reasons, and
the prisoner was sentenced to death on
The
prisoner's counsel at this trial was Masaryk, later President of Czecho-Slovakia, this work seems to have stood him in good stead in
after life!
Hilsner
was released from prison by the Marxists in the rioting of 1918; he died a few
years later.
CHAPTER XI.
WELL AUTHENTICATED CASES IN THE PRESENT CENTURY.
THE
best known of these is the Beiliss case at
1900.
1911-13.
This is by far the most
important proved ritual murder case of the 20th century and is generally known
as the Beiliss Case.
In 1911, a 13-year-old boy's body was
found at
It
was proved that the murder took place inside the premises of a Jewish brick
factory to which only Jews had access. This factory contained a Jewish hospice with
a secret synagogue attached.
After
long-drawn-out preliminaries, Beiliss, who was proprietor of the factory, was
tried; the jury found that there was no proof that he himself was the culprit,
although half of them considered he was; the verdict therefore having to be
unanimous, he was declared Not Guilty. But the jury agreed as to the cause of
the boy's death; their verdict about this was as follows:
The boy "after being gagged, was wounded with a
perforating instrument in the nape of the neck, temples and neck, which wounds
severed the cerebral vein, the left temporal and jugular arteries, producing
thus profuse hæmorrhage; and afterwards, when Joutchinski (the boy's name) had
lost about five glasses of blood. His body was pierced with the same instrument,
lacerating thus the lungs, the liver, the right kidney and the heart, where the
last wounds were inflicted, in all 47 wounds, causing acute suffering to the
victim and the loss of practically all the blood of the body, and finally
death."
Thus,
although the murder could not be fixed upon any particular individual, its
ritual character was quite certain, the boy being first bled and then killed.
There
were many strange features about this trial, viz.:
(1) On
(2) Two children, Genia and Valentine Tcheberiak,
who were important witnesses against Beiliss, died suddenly shortly after his
arrest. This was after they had eaten sweetmeats given to them by a degraded
police agent called Krassowsky. They were examined by two Jewish doctors at the
hospital and were certified to be suffering from dysentery, the bacilli of that
disease having been found in them according to the report.
Next,
it was discovered that their mother had been offered (and had refused) a bribe
of 40,000 roubles by a Jew lawyer to take upon herself the guilt for the murder
of the stabbed boy Joutchinski.
Finally,
the Jews actually suggested she had poisoned the two children, the Jews having
characteristically forgotten for the moment those dysentery bacilli that had been
reported to have been discovered!
(3) Several important witnesses gave expert
opinion that the Jews use Christian blood to mix with the unleavened bread at
certain feasts, and that Christian children are killed
by Jews for the purpose.
One
of these was Father Pranaitis, theologian and Hebraist, who considered that the
evidence showed every sign of it being a Jewish ritual murder. Father Pranaitis
said that the Zohar, the cabbalistic book of the Chassidim sect of Jews,
described the ritual of murder, prescribing thirteen stabs in the right temple,
seven in the left one, which is exactly how the head of the murdered boy had
been treated.
Another expert witness was
Professor Sikorski of
After
the Jewish Bolshevik revolution, the Cheka shot the Judge, the Public
Prosecutor and many of the witnesses, including Father Pranaitis, the medical
expert Kozoratov, and Professor Sikorski. Professor Pawlow, who was a witness
for the defence, became a leading scientist in Bolshevik Russia!
The
ex-General Alexandre Netchvoldov of the Russian Imperial Army, tells us the
rest in an article, "La Russie et les Juifs," in Le Front Unique, published at Oran, 1927, p. 59: Quoting Evrijskaja Tribuna of 24th August, 1922,
he says "that at a visit of the Rabbi of Moscow to Lenin, the first word
Lenin said to his visitor was to ask him if the Jews were satisfied with the
Soviet tribunal which had annulled the Beiliss verdict, saying that Joutchinksy
had been killed by a Christian!"
Yes, Bolshevism is Jewish!
(4) A "British protest," published in The Times, dated 6th May, 1912, signed
by the usual Archbishops and bishops, together with dukes (such as the late
Duke of Norfolk who had been married to a Jewish woman), earls (such as
Rosebery, married to a Rothschild), and people like the late Rt. Hon. A. J.
Balfour, fulminated against the "revival" of the Ritual Murder
charge; the "Blood Accusation" was described in this protest as
"a relic of the days of witchcraft and black magic, a cruel and utterly
baseless libel on Judaism."
Is
it not amazing that where Jewish interests are concerned, Englishmen of
standing will try to influence the course of justice by thus interfering before Beiliss had even been tried?
Beiliss died in
1928.
1929.
1932.
It
will be noted that the last three cases occurred at a time when the Jews were
supreme in
CHAPTER XII.
THE JEWISH DEFENCE.
THE
Jews and their advocates use sundry arguments whereby they seem to have
successfully camouflaged and almost obliterated in this country the trail of
historic fact concerning the practice of Ritual Murder. When the author was
proceeded against in 1936 for daring to mention Jewish Ritual Murder, the trial
was reported in some newspapers under the heading "Amazing Story," as
though he had invented it! Let us list the Jewish "arguments" and
answer them:
1. That the confessions made by the accused
Jews were extracted by torture.
This is true of many mediæval cases; it is unlikely that
the Jews would confess without such aids to memory, because of the certain dire
consequences that would follow the confession.
But I have shown in Chapter 13 (which see) that many
confessions of the practice of Ritual Murder by Jews have been made by those
who have been converted to the Christian faith and made freely; many
confessions have been made by accused Jews without torture, or by their
relations without torture; whilst at Damascus, where the bastinado was used to
aid the memory of the accused, it inspired them to reveal where the fragments
of the bodies of the murdered men were to be found, and they were found in the
indicated spots; I take it that Jews do not allege that the bastinado endowed
the culprits with telepathic second sight?
There is thus nothing in the
argument.
2. That the Jewish laws not only do not
sanction the practice of Ritual Murder, but forbid the use of blood.
In other words, John Smith cannot be guilty of theft from
William Brown because the Eighth Commandment says 'Thou shalt not steal.'
There is nothing in
this argument, dealt with in Chapter III.
3. That the Blood Accusation is the result of
mediæval and ignorant superstition.
In Chapter V, I show that there were, according to the
Jews themselves, more Blood Accusations in the 19th century than in any
previous one.
There is therefore nothing in this
argument.
4. That the guilt of the Jews was not
juridically established.
The emptiness of this statement is shown in Chapter XIV,
where a number of cases are quoted in which, through the centuries, competent
and full authority decided the guilt of the accused or approved the verdict.
There is nothing in
this argument.
5. That it couldn't happen now.
Chapter VI is devoted to meeting
this objection.
It will be seen that there is
nothing in the objection.
The objection appeals to the good-nature of the
Aryan mind which cannot conceive anything so alien as
a desire to commit Ritual Murder. It is the false teaching of Equality of Race,
spread by Masonry, perverted religion and democracy, that
is responsible for this attitude of mind.
6. That Papal Bulls refuse credence to the
charge of Ritual Murder.
This matter is dealt with in Chapter
XV.
There are Popes who obviously wished to register their disbelief
in the practice of Ritual Murder by Jews, and did so.
There are other Popes who equally registered by their
actions and Bulls that they did believe in the charge.
So there is nothing in the argument.
7. That
Pope Clement XIV's report of 1758 (made when he was Cardinal Ganganelli) is a
final and incontrovertible refutation of the charge.
In Chapter XV, I have shown how actually this report by
the Cardinal is proved utterly unreliable as he says in it that "he
endeavoured to demonstrate the non-existence of the crime," which shows
that he did not endeavour to demonstrate the truth, which is all that an
investigator has any right to do; whilst he specifically admits that St. Simon
of Trent and St. Andreas of Rinn were killed by Jews in hatred of the faith of
Jesus Christ. Thus, Pope Clement XIV is that most valuable witness in the
support of the Blood Accusation –– the unwilling witness.
8. The
charges are unworthy of credence because they have been brought by
anti-semites.
This is an argument used by the Jew, Israel Abrahams, in
his article on Ritual Murder in the 11th edition of the Encyclopædia
Britannica, in which he writes: "The literature on the other side is
entirely anti-semitic and in no instance has it survived the ordeal of
criticism."
How strangely the Jewish mind works! How could anyone
fail to be "anti-semitic" if they believed that Jews commit ritual
murder of Gentile children?
If there is not a glut of literature on the subject in
English, it is not any ordeal of criticism which has brought about the
scarcity, but the Jewish Money Power which has been brought to bear on that
literature, making it so scarce that no one can get hold of it. Instance, Sir
Richard Burton's The Jew, the Gypsy and
El Islam, by an author of unimpeachable integrity and illustrious fame, a
book the fate of which has been described on page 28, which see.
So much for the Jews' methods of defence by argument. Now
let us see what other methods of defence they adopt. These are:
1. The killing of authors or witnesses,
or of others with knowledge of the subject.
On page 27 are recorded the circumstances surrounding the
death of Gougenot des Mousseaux, author of Le
Juif, le Judaisme et la Judaisation, etc.; on page 32 is registered the
fact of the death of child witnesses in the Kiev case, 1911-13; on p. 33 is
given the fate of the Judge, counsel and expert witnesses in the same case, all
murdered by the Jewish Bolsheviks.
2. Violent abuse of lawyers, witnesses for the prosecution
or accusers.
This is a modern development since the Jews obtained
control over the Gentile press. It was marked in cases of the 19th and 20th
centuries.
The Jewish Press in this country has succeeded in so
reviling the name of Herr Julius Streicher, editor of Der Stürmer, that many decent citizens take it for granted that
Herr Streicher is a kind of crazy and sadistic devil instead of (as we know him
to be) a gallant and faithful German officer.
3. Disappearance of books containing evidence
of Ritual Murders.
Under the description of the 1840
The suppression of reports of trials has been noted in pre-Hitler
Jew-controlled
4. The silencing of reference to Ritual Murder.
The penal laws are stretched in the Jew-run countries to
secure the imprisonment of anyone daring to break the Jew-imposed silence on
the subject of Ritual Murder. Herr Julius Streicher was imprisoned in 1928 for
this "offence," and the author of the present work was sentenced by a
31st degree Scottish Rite Masonic Judge in 1936 to six months imprisonment
among criminals on a trumped-up charge of the same nature.
Nevertheless there is no law in
5. Deliberate misrepresentation of the
statements of authoritative people.
A good example of this is described on pp. 43-44, where
the late Baron Rothschild endeavoured to use Cardinal Merry del
Val's confirmation of the authenticity
of a certain Papal letter as a confirmation of
a false interpretation of the contents of that letter made by Baron Rothschild
himself. Another example is in the case of the Jewish Encyclopædia, Hyamson's History
of the Jews in England and Lucien Wolf's Essays in Jewish History, all of which assert that the Khedive of
Egypt declared the condemned Jews in the
6. Bribery of the witnesses for the
prosecution, the officials of the courts, or the Potentates who could overrule
those courts.
Examples of this are the cases of
7. False accusations of innocent people.
As in the cases of
8. The production of a corpse supposed to be
that of the missing victim, but actually that of someone who died from a cause
other than Ritual Murder; this was done in the Tisza Eszlar case.
9. Refusal or threatened refusal of loans to
governments.
From Jewish sources, I give on p. 27 an instance where
Rothschild influence in the matter of loans clearly governed the attitude of
the Austrian consul at
On p. 30 is shown how the same Rothschild family were able to threaten the Government of Hungary so as
to induce it to cause the acquittal of the accused Jews in the 1882 case at
Tisza Eszlar.
In
all methods of propaganda, the Jew Money Power finds ready allies among the
gullible Gentiles, particularly among Archbishops, politicians, and even with
Royalty. These rely chiefly on the idea that the Blood Accusation is a relic of
the dark and wicked ages of the past, an idea which I have shown to have no
foundation in fact.
How
is it that influential Gentiles so readily lend themselves in support of the
Jews against the Blood Accusation? The answer to this question deserves a short
chapter to itself. (See Chapter XX.)
There
have been a number of books published from time to time refuting the Blood
Accusation; some of these are written by Jews, others by Gentiles. Among such,
the best known are those of Strack and Cecil Roth. The works of Drs. Loeb and
Lea are proved worthless; these concerned the
The Jew and Human Sacrifice, by H. L.
Strack, Regius Professor of Theology at
The
English edition is a book of 289 pages, of which only pp. 160 to 274 are
relevant to the issue. The book is damned because (1) there is no mention of the case of St. Hugh
of Lincoln; (2) no mention of Benedict
XIV's Bull in which that Pope beatifies St. Simon of Trent, a victim of ritual
murder, whilst the Bulls of other Popes are freely quoted as an argument
against the Blood Accusation; (3) in
describing the Damascus case, no mention is made that the flogging of the
accused Jews caused them actually to reveal where the remains of the two
murdered men were to be found; and (4)
the authorities quoted by Strack with regard to the La Guardia, Toledo,
ritual murder have been proved by Walsh utterly unreliable.
The Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew,
1935, by the Jew, Cecil Roth, is adequately dealt with on page
45, which see.
CHAPTER XIII.
EVIDENCE OF CONVERTED JEWS.
Jews
who have professed conversion to Christianity have sometimes denied that there
is any practice of Ritual Murder of Christians among people of the Jewish
faith. On the other hand, many "converts" have confessed that Jews
practice Ritual Murder.
When
one considers that the history of the Marrano ("converted" Jew)
community has conclusively shown that the conversion of these Jews was simply a
ruse and as false as the Jew himself, and that the establishment of the
Inquisition of Spain was almost entirely due to the fact that the pretended
converts could be dealt with in no other way, they practising Jewish rites
secretly whilst outwardly pretending to be devout followers of the Church, one
will naturally place more credence on those "converts" who admit that
Jewish Ritual Murder is practised than on those who deny it.
It
would be interesting to know whether those converts, who have admitted the fact
of Ritual Murder, were people with a mixture of either the Aryan or of the
Alpine racial strain in their blood. But that knowledge is denied to us.
The
cases which have come to light in which Jewish converts to Christianity or to
Mahomedanism have confessed that Ritual Murder is practiced by Jews are
chronologically arranged below:
1144. Theobald,
a monk and a Jewish convert, of
1468. Bishop
Jean d'Avila, himself the son of a converted Jew, actually investigated the
Ritual Murder case in
1475. Hans
Vayol, converted Jew, charged the Rabbi of Ratisbon with Ritual Murder for the
sake of the blood. Authority: Jewish
Encyclopædia, Vol. II, p. 16 (1903).
1475. Wolfkan
of Ratisbon, Jewish convert to Christianity, charged the Jews with the Ritual
Murder of St. Simon of
1475. A
converted Jew, Jean de Feltro, described to the officer investigating the
Ritual Murder of St. Simon of
1490. Torquemada,
himself of Jewish blood (Roth, History of
the Marranos, 1931, p. 39), must have confirmed the sentence of death
against the Jews responsible for the
1494. Alonzo
de Spina, stated by a Jew historian to have been of Jewish blood (History of the Marranos, Roth, 1932, p.
34) accused the Jews of murdering children for ritual purposes. He occupied the
high position of Rector of Salamanca University, and his accusation was made in
his work Fortalitium Fidei.
1555. Hananel
di Foligno, of
1614. Samuel
Friedrich Brenz, a Jew, who was converted in 1610, wrote a book revealing the
Ritual Murder practice of the Jews. It was called Judischer Abgestreifter Schlangenbalg and was published at
1720. Paul
Christian Kirchner, converted Jew, admitted in his Judisches Ceremoniel, Frankfurt, that dried Christian blood was
considered useful as a remedy for certain diseases of women.
18––. Paulus Meyer, converted Jew, accused the Jews
of Ritual Murder in his Wolfe in Schafsfell,
Schafe in Wolfspelz (Wolf in Sheep's
Clothing, etc.). He had a libel action brought against him by the Jews he
accused of being involved in a case of alleged ritual murder, and was sentenced
to four months' arrest.
The Jewish Encyclopædia describes all these last three authors as
"malicious and ignorant enemies of their people."
17––. A converted Jew, Serafinovicz, wrote a book
admitting Ritual Murder as a Jewish practice. Authority: The Jew, C. Roth, Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew, 1935,
p. 24.
1759. A
converted Jew, J. J. Frank, formed a sect called the Frankists at Lemberg.
These people were all Jews who had become Christians in revolt against the
evils taught in the Talmud. They said that it was the Talmud which was the root
of all the troubles between Jews and Gentiles. Prince Etienne de Mikoulissky,
administrator of the archdiocese of Lemberg, instituted public debates between
the Frankists and the Talmudic Jews. A debate held in July took place in which
various matters were dealt with point by point until six points had been
settled; the seventh one was the Frankists' declaration that "the Talmud
teaches the employment of Christian blood and he who believes in the Talmud
ought to make use of this blood." The Frankists said they had learned this
in their youth as Jews. Under the heading Baruch
Yavan, the Jewish Encyclopædia,
1903, Vol. II, p. 563, admits that the Frankists brought the blood accusation
against the Talmudists; also in Vol.
The Frankists completely defeated their opponents in these debates. Ultimately they became assimilated into the Christian community.
There is a large bibliography with reference to the
Frankist community, of which the following two works may receive mention here: La malfaisance juive, by Pikulski,
1803. A
converted ex-Rabbi wrote a book in the Moldavian language in 1803 which was
published again in Greek in 1834 by Giovanni de Georgio under the title Ruin of the Hebraic Religion. This
converted Rabbi called himself by the name Neophyte. Extracts from his book
were quoted in Achille Laurent's Relation
Historique des Affaires de Syrie depuis 1840 à 1842, a book described on p.
24 under the
1826. Paul
Louis Bernard Drach, ex-Grand Rabbi of Strasburg, published a Deuxième lettre d'un rabbin converti,
1840. Ex-Rabbi
Mousa Abou-el-Afieh, who became a Mahommedan during the Damascus Ritual Murder
trial, gave evidence that the blood of the murdered Father Thomas had been
ordered by the Grand Rabbi Yakoub el Entabi, and was required for the use of
zealous persons who sent Yakoub their flour for Passover, in which he mixed the
Christian's blood. The employment of the blood was a secret of the Grand
Rabbis.
1913. A
converted Jew, Cesare Algranati, enumerated a number of ritual murders for a
book Cahiers Romains, 1913, a
Catholic publication of
CHAPTER XIV.
CASES CONFIRMED BY CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY.
THE
Jews are wont to pretend that the Blood Accusation, as they call it, is the
product of mediæval superstition and credulity, and anti-Jewish prejudice. They
bring forward as examples cases where Jews have been wrongfully charged with
Ritual Murder or against whom there was insufficient evidence, the mob taking
the initiative and lynching every Jew it could lay hands on.
Such
things have occurred, but they are quite useless in support of the Jewish claim
of innocence of Ritual Murders.
There
is an exact analogy in more modern times in the case of the negroes of the
Southern States of the U.S.A. Everyone knows that lynching has been resorted to
where negroes have been suspected of certain outrages against white women and
children. Everyone knows also that sometimes the mob, in its racial thirst for
vengeance, and in its impatience of the slow and corrupt legal procedure, has
lynched innocent men. But no one will argue on such grounds that negroes guilty of such offences have not frequently met with
the rough justice they deserved at the hands of the mob, or that negroes never
attack white women and children! Yet the Jews bring forward this same rotten
argument to shield themselves from the charge of
Ritual Murder! Because innocent Jews have been lynched, no Jew ever does a
Ritual Murder!
We
have, fortunately, many cases on record in which constituted authority has duly
tried the Jewish murderers and found them guilty, or has, sometimes without
finding the culprit, given a verdict concerning the cause of death which leaves
no doubt as to its ritual character. Let me enumerate some of these:

good judgment.

of the blood accusation, he admitted that the cases he complained of had been brought before the Courts!
In
pre-Hitler Jew-controlled
CHAPTER XV.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TOWARDS JEWISH
RITUAL MURDER.
THE
Jew, Cecil Roth, in Ritual Murder Libel
and the Jew, 1935, p. 20, says: "The Catholic Church never gave the
slightest countenance to the calumny" (the blood accusation). This seems
to be very inaccurate, as we shall demonstrate.
The
Jews say that the Popes Innocent IV, Gregory X, Martin V, Nicholas V, Paul III,
Clement XII and Clement XIV have all expressed disbelief in the Ritual Murder
practice of Jews.
Let
us first take the case of Innocent IV, who has issued Bulls about the matter on
28th May and
But
the views of Innocent IV are dealt with in the Catholic Bulletin,
Let
the Catholic Bulletin deal with the
matter in its own words:
"The document [the Bull] consists of two parts, one
part sums up the case as presented by the Jews themselves. The Pope states that
he has received a complaint that the Jews are being oppressed and pillaged by
both ecclesiastical and secular princes, that they are being cast into prison,
and even put to death, without trial or confession of guilt, that they are
being falsely accused of ritual crime which they assert is manifestly opposed
to their law, namely the Divine Scriptures. The second part, which alone
expresses the Pope's mind, is as follows: 'not wishing, therefore, that the
said Jews be unjustly harassed, whose conversion God expects in his mercy . . .
we wish that you should show yourselves benign and favourable towards them.
Restore to their proper state those of the mentioned matters that you find to
have been rashly attempted by the said Nobles against the Jews, and do not
permit that in the future they should be for those or similar pretexts unjustly
molested by anyone.'
"Jews must consider Christians to be very uncritical
and gullible if they think they can he induced to accept this document as a
papal declaration that ritual crime does not exist. It is obvious that the
Sovereign Pontiff merely gives instructions according to general principles,
ordering that the Jews should not be unjustly oppressed or molested. He makes
no pronouncement whatever regarding the truth or falsehood of the specific
charges. Naturally, he must leave the decision regarding this point to the
judgment of the bishops to whom he writes. Least of all was he likely to be
impressed by the sophistry that ritual crime could not exist among the Jews
because it was forbidden in the sacred Scriptures. None could know better than
he that it was not the teaching of the Scriptures, but the infamous teachings
of the Talmud that caused people to look upon Jews as a grave danger to
society. Only three years before the appearance of his letter, namely in 1244,
he showed plainly what he thought of the Talmud by pressing Louis IX to collect
from his subjects all the copies he could obtain and consign them to the
flames."
Before
leaving Innocent IV, I ask the reader to realise the typical Jewish cunning
exhibited by Rothschild in exploiting the answer of Cardinal del
Val regarding the authenticity of the
letter as confirming an interpretation of
that letter's contents by Rothschild! How Jewish!
Gregory
X in a Bull of 7th October, 1272, is a little more explicit than Innocent IV;
the same exhortation is made for legal trial of all cases, but he says that
they should "not be arrested again on such groundless charge unless (which
we think impossible) they are captured in flagrant crime." Gregory thus
does not deny that the crime exists; he says he thinks it is impossible.
Pope
Martin V, Nicholas V, Paul III and Clement XIII issued statements which show to
my satisfaction, although not apparently to that of some anti-Jew writers, that
they did not wish to support the opinion that the Ritual Murder charge was a
true one against the Jews.
Then
we come to Clement XIV. Before he became Pope, he was Cardinal Ganganelli. He
was despatched by the Inquisition in 1759 to investigate Ritual Murder charges
against the Jews in
From
beginning to end of Ganganelli's report, there is nothing that a scientific
investigator would regard as evidence that Ritual Murder was not practised by
Jews. The Polish cases he admits were juridically decided; and he brings
forward examples of definitely false charges of Ritual Murder such as everyone
knows have arisen, but which do not in the least affect the question as to
whether Ritual Murder happens or not. He merely opposes his opinion to those of
the men in authority on the spot.
But
there is more. Definitely, and far from being able to refute the charge of
Ritual Murder against Jews, Ganganelli admits the Ritual Murders of St. Simon
of
"I
admit then, as true, the fact of the Blessed Simon, a boy three years old,
killed by the Jews in Trent in the year 1475 in hatred of the faith of Jesus
Christ"; and "I also admit the truth of another fact, which happened
in the year 1462 in the village of Rinn, in the Diocese of Brixen, in the
person of the Blessed Andreas, a boy barbarously murdered by the Jews in hatred
of the faith of Jesus Christ."
One
thing concerning Ganganelli's report seems to have escaped the notice of other
anti-Jewish workers, and to my mind it damns the report from the beginning; in
undertaking an investigation such as that with which Ganganelli was confronted,
one should surely start with an unbiased outlook? Read Ganganelli's admission
about his own outlook when he went to
"With
my weak faculties, I endeavoured to
demonstrate the non-existence of the crime which was imputed to the Jewish
Nation in
The
Cardinal set forth, not to find out whether Ritual Murder existed in
Thus,
the book Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew,
by the Jew Roth, which relies entirely upon Ganganelli for its material, is
valueless except to the anti-Jewish worker to whom it is a God-send! Yet, what
a good "press" this book had when it was published in 1935! The Morning Post greeted it (
The
Birmingham Mail, 22nd September,
1936, is typical of the attitude of the "British" critics of the
book: "It is symptomatic of the unhealthy state of the Continental mind
that credence can be given in certain parts of Europe to the atrocious libel in
which it is alleged that Christian blood is a necessary concomitant of the
Jewish Passover celebrations."
Although
the book was widely advertised when it came out, the Jews seem to have realised
that it merely gives evidence in favour of Ritual Murder, for I found it
difficult to get a copy in 1936, having ultimately to resort to a friend in the
second-hand book trade to get one for me.
Thus
Clement XIV, far from being a witness for the defence of the Jews, is an unwilling
witness of the truth of the anti-Jewish accusation.
And
what of the Popes who have supported the Ritual Murder accusation by their
acts? There are many.
Sixtus
IV approved in his Bull XII Kal. July, 1478, of the conduct
of the Bishop who dealt with the Jews in the St. Simon case at
Gregory XIII recognised Simon as a martyr and himself visited the shrine.
Sixtus
V ratified the cult of St. Simon in 1588, allowing the celebration of mass in
his name. This is confirmed as a fact by Benedict XIV.
Benedict
XIV himself in a Bull Beatus Andreas
(1778,
How
significant of the methods of the advocates for the Jew, to note that in
Strack's book, no mention whatever is made of Benedict XIV's Bull, although the
actions of Sixtus IV are wilfully misinterpreted!
Pius
In
1867, the Congregation of Rites authorised the cult of Lorenzino, at
Gregory
XVI, also, gave his support to the anti-Jewish accusers when he honoured
Gougenot des Mousseaux by making him a Chevalier of the Order of St. Gregory
the Great, in reward for writing his book, Le
Juif, le Judaisme et la Judaisation des Peuples Chretiens, in which
Gougenot des Mousseaux devoted a chapter charging the Jews with Ritual Murder
of Christians for the sake of their blood.
Pius
IX refused to see the Jew Montefiore when the latter was returning from his
visits to Egypt and to Constantinople, where he had bribed the Khedive and the
Sultan so that the Jews at Damascus could escape the consequences of their
guilt of the Ritual Murder of Father Thomas and his servant; this, in spite of
a shameless Jewish persistence which has been fully described in Sir Moses
Montefiore's biography. That showed what Pius IX thought about it, and he
himself was of Jewish blood.
Pope
Leo XIII bestowed distinctions on Edouard Drumont, author of La France Juive, who accused the Jews of
Ritual Murder therein. Authority: Jewish
Encyclopædia (1905), Vol. X, p. 127.
To
sum up: The Popes who have appeared to disbelieve the existence of the Ritual
Murder crime have, with the exception of Clement XIII, been those who lived in
the least enlightened times; many later Popes have given very clear evidence
that they hold the opposite opinion. The reader has the facts before him and
can judge for himself.
Remember
that although other martyred boys, victims of Jewish Ritual Murder, have been
regarded in many places as saints without papal authority, there is no record
of papal disapproval of these cults except in the case of Sixtus IV, already
mentioned, whose action was purely disciplinary and who himself specifically
approved of the conduct of the Ritual Murder Case to which the matter referred.
Such locally beatified "saints" or martyrs were St. William of
Those
who condemn the Blood Accusation as a wicked invention for the purpose of
persecuting Jews and robbing them, must at the same time condemn wholesale some
of the highest dignitaries of the Catholic Church, men against whom nothing is
known beyond that they had excellent characters, like William Turbe, Bishop of
Norwich to give an English example.
When
the reader peruses the details of the cases that I have cited in this book, he
will realise that Episcopal Courts have dealt with many of them; in other words,
the Jews were condemned by the existing religious authority of the day.
Many
of the earliest records we have of these Ritual Murders come from the pens of
Catholic historians, such as the Bollandists, a body of Belgian Jesuits; a list
of the principal works on the subject
will be found at the end of the book.

Creagh, Redemptorist, publicly accused Jews of the practice of Ritual Murder,

Perhaps
I may best wind up this chapter by giving the names of the twelve members of
juries who investigated, considered and condemned the Jews in the Ritual Murder
case of La Guardia in Toledo, together with their qualifications: (1) Maestre Fray Juan de Santispiritus, Professor
of Hebrew, Salamanca University; (2)

every right to rely?
CHAPTER XVI.
THE ATTITUDE OF THE
THIS
may be summed up very briefly. The
However,
there was a time when Protestants were Protestants, unaffected by Masonry or by
the powerful propaganda of which Jewish money is the source.
Martin
Luther seems to have had an inkling of the true nature of the Jew when he said:
"How the Jews love the Book of Esther, which is so suitable to their
bloodthirsty, revengeful, murderous appetite and hopes. The sun has never shone
on such a bloodthirsty and revengeful people, who fancy themselves
to be the chosen people so that they can murder and strangle the heathen."
(From the Erlangen edition of Luther's Table Talks, Vol. XXXII, p. 120.)
This
seems plain speaking enough; but we find the Jew, C. Roth, (Ritual Murder Libel and the Jew), citing
Martin Luther as having condemned the "libel" of Ritual Murder
"in unqualified terms."
However,
the Jewish Encyclopædia (1904), Vol.
VIII, p. 213, definitely states that Luther charged the Jews with Ritual
Murders.
At Magdeburg
in 1562, a Protestant History of the Christian Church was compiled, called the Magdeburg Centuries; it was compiled by
a number of Lutheran theologians headed by M. Flacius, and was first published
at Basle as the Historia Ecclesiæ Christi.
This work records the ritual murders of
John
Foxe in his Acts and Monuments of the
Church (1563) says: "For every year commonly their [the Jews'] custom
was to get some Christian man's child from his parents and on Good Friday to
crucify him in despite of our religion." He describes the ritual
crucifixion of British children by Jews at
The
learned and distinguished Puritan, William Prynne, a fearless fighter against
evil, in his Short Demurrer to the Jewes
long discontinued Remitter into England, 1656, gave details and references
of the Ritual Murders at Norwich, Gloucester, and Bury St. Edmunds in England,
and those of Blois, Braisne, Richard "of Paris," Fulda, Prague,
Werner of Oberwesel, Rudolph of Berne, Simon of Trent and others. In Book I, p.
67, he says: "The Jews . . . have ofttimes . . . maliciously acted it
[crucifixion] over and again in representation; . . . by crucifying sundry Christian
children on Good Friday or near Easter, on a Crosse, in a most barbarous
manner, in derision of our Saviour's death and passion." On p. 68 he
quotes several authorities "that the Jews in Paris did every year steal
some Christian child, or another brought up in the King's Court, and carrying
him to a secret house or vault, did, on Good Friday or Easter-Day, in contempt
and derision of Christ and Christian religion crucify him on a Crosse . . . and
that they have been frequently apprehended, persevering in this wickednesse;
for which, upon Direction, they were usually murdered, stoned, burned,
destroyed, hanged, by the furious multitude's violence, or executed,
imprisoned, banished by Christian Kings and Magistrates, yet such was their
malice to Christ, that they would still persevere therein, and act it over
again upon every opportunity."
This
book of Prynne's, which ran into two editions, is in the
Our
nation has been so carefully schooled by the Jewish Money Power, which has been
able to destroy or rarefy all sources of information on Ritual Murder, that the
twentieth century Protestant Church has come to believe that the thing is a
mere relic of mediæval superstition.
CHAPTER XVII.
OTHER CASES WORTHY OF
CREDENCE.
THIS
book is not intended to be an exhaustive history of Jewish Ritual Murder. In
previous chapters I have described the cases which occurred before the
Expulsion of the Jews from England, and also the cases which appear to me to be
historical events admitting of no reasonable doubt as to their correct
interpretation as Jewish Ritual Murders.
In
this chapter, I am listing a number of reported cases of Ritual Murder which,
whilst being in my opinion worthy of credence, are not supported by the same
detail or authority that constitute authenticity.
There
are many discoveries of bodies of children, thought to have been ritually
murdered by Jews, which are not mentioned in this list, and since the Sultan
issued his firman in 1840 denying that Ritual Murder existed among the Jews, it
is not surprising that many of these cases happened in territories under
Turkish rule.
The
following reports of alleged Ritual Murder appear to me worthy of record:
A.D. 419.
Socrates (Hist. Eccles., Lib.
The
Syrian Posidonius (135-51 B.C.), and the first century Greeks Apollonius Molon
and Apion had previously reported that it was a Jewish custom to sacrifice
annually a Greek boy, specially fattened for the occasion. The probable reason
for the Ritual Murder accusation being made against Christians themselves in
the early years of the Religion was that many of these Christians were of
Jewish origin.

mentioned in this book; they are omitted because I have insufficient detail
concerning them.
CHAPTER XVIII.
TWO QUEER HAPPENINGS.
1839. A
Remittance of Blood. During the Damascus Ritual Murder trial, the French
Consul, Comte Ratti-Menton, by whose energy and determination the case was brought
to light, received a letter from Comte de Suzannet, who wrote: "Nearly a
year ago, a box arrived at the custom-house that a Jew came to claim on being
asked to open it, he refused and offered first 100 piastres, then 200, then
300, then 1,000 and at last 10,000 piastres (2,500 francs). The custom-house
official persisted, and opened the box, discovering therein a bottle of blood.
On asking the Jew for an explanation, the latter said that they had the custom
of preserving the blood of their Grand Rabbis or important men. He was allowed
to go, and left for
Comte Ratti-Menton then looked for the chief of the
customhouse, but found he had died! His successor, who had been associated with
him, only vaguely recollected the affair; but he confirmed that the box had
contained several bottles of red liquid and that he thought the Jew who came to
claim it was Aaron Stambouli of
The quick death of the chief custom-house officer is not
surprising; witnesses of the crimes of the Jews are subject to a sudden demise.
But the reader will perhaps be more impressed by the fact that this Aaron
Stambouli was one of those subsequently found guilty of the Ritual Murder of
Father Thomas at
1888.
The boy went home and said nothing about the matter; but
his father, seeing the scars, questioned him and the truth came out.
Bernstein was arrested, and the prosecuting attorney
after preventing a manoeuvre on the part of the defending counsel to have the
case settled behind closed doors, maintained that this was a ritual case for
the extraction of blood for the needs of a Jewish rite.
The Court, however,
refused to recognise this, but sentenced Bernstein to three months'
imprisonment for having made incisions in the body of the child.
The facts of this case are not disputed by anyone. The
Jews, of course, spread the rumour that Bernstein was a religious maniac. Dr.
Edmond Lesser of Breslau wrote a report to that effect which the Royal
Scientific Committee for the Medical Profession endorsed. This Professor was a
Jew, of course. But the reader should note that the report was issued in 1890,
and that the Court itself never had any such "expert" propaganda before
it!
CHAPTER XIX.
WHAT OF THESE?
DURING
my trial I asked the only witness brought against me, Inspector Kitchener,
"Are you a Detective-Inspector?"
Leese:
"Are there any cases of child-murder nowadays which cannot be solved?"
Leese:
"Has it ever occurred to you that some of them may be cases of Ritual
Murder by Jews?"
The Judge:
"If it had, he would have acted without evidence, and he has no right
to."
In
the belief that it is the business of the detective first to investigate and
then to collect evidence, and then to act upon that evidence, I give here some
facts on recent happenings which seem to me to open up the necessary field for
investigation. They are, the Chorlton murder, the
Lindbergh baby case, and a queer business in the Argentine.
1928. Chorlton,
A school-boy named O'Donnell
was murdered on 1st or 2nd December, just before the Jewish feast of Chanucah,
which commemorates the recovery of
The
throat had been cut; the body was drained of blood; it was found on some waste
ground and it was remarkable that there was no blood on the boy's clothes and
hands. There was a pool of blood seven yards from the body. The wound was
pronounced by experts as not being self-inflicted. A police witness said the
body seemed to have been dragged along the grass; the Coroner suggested that
someone had washed the boy's hands.
The
police were completely baffled; it was certain that the work was not that of
any maniac, but that the crime was premeditated, and was in fact, "the
perfect crime." The verdict at the inquest was an open one.
The
affair was reported in The Times,
3rd, 4th and
My
only comment is that the murder could not have been done on the spot where the
body was found, since the boy's clothes and hands were not stained with blood,
indicating that the boy must have been naked when the throat was cut;
therefore, some blood was probably poured onto the ground a few yards away to
mislead the detectives.
Ritual
murders have several times been discovered by the fact that no blood has been
found at the place where the corpse, bled white, has been recovered.
1932. The
Lindbergh Case.
Colonel Lindbergh's son was
missed on
I
cannot see that it has ever been proved that the body found was that of Colonel
Lindbergh's son. It is true that the child's clothes were identified, but the
'body' was only a skeleton, and the 'identification' by the nursemaid, Betty
Gow, was made by means of the clothes and a matter of 'twisted toes.' (We must
remember that the Tisza Eszlar case, see p. 30, was conjured with by the
finding and false identification of a body dressed in the murdered girl's
clothes.)
Chas.
Lindbergh, the father,
Ultimately,
a German called Hauptmann was arrested, and the whole Jewish Press of America
condemned him several score of times before his trial; actually he was
ultimately found "guilty" on evidence which would not have hanged a
dog, and met his death in the electric chair.
The
condemned man said that Reilly, his lawyer, had brought about his fate by
sabotaging his defence; Reilly went insane and committed suicide.
Hauptmann
said that the receiver of the kidnap ransom was Isador Fisch, a Jew; but he had
died.
The
mob of people outside the death-house at Hauptmann's execution,
shouted and joked and laughed in the same obscene fashion as did the female
furies over the victims of the guillotine in the French Revolution. It was
commonly considered in
It
is possible that Hauptmann was paid to steal the child, without knowing that it
was going to be anything but an ordinary kidnapping; and that the boy was
intended for Ritual Slaughter for Purim.
It
was Chas. Lindbergh's father who had strongly opposed the establishment of the
Federal Reserve Banking System sponsored by powerful Jewish interests and had
also brought to public notice the wicked circular letter of the American
Banking Association which ordered the member banks to deflate "to make a
monetary stringency among your Patrons." This, it is thought, might
determine the choice of the innocent child of Hon. Chas. Lindbergh's famous son
for a victim.

CHAPTER XX.
IRRELEVANT MEDITATIONS.
I
WRITE this chapter in an endeavour to try and account for the strange attitude
adopted by Gentiles, often influential people, in rushing forward to shield the
Jews, not only from the Ritual Murder charge, but from accusations concerning
other activities hostile to Western Civilization.
Consider
the Letter of Protest signed by archbishops, bishops, lords, justices, editors
and professors, which was sent to The Times as stated on p. 8 against the "revival" of the
Blood Accusation against a Jew at
Here
is another instance: Mr. J. Hall Richardson reports it on pp. 216-217 of his
book, From the City to Fleet Street
(S. Paul & Co., 1927). He is writing of the murders of Jack the Ripper, and
he says:
"It would scarcely be believed that the Metropolitan Police held the clue to the identification of the murderer in their own hands and deliberately threw it away under the personal direction of the then Commissioner of Police, Sir Chas. Warren, who acted in the belief that an anti-Semitic riot might take place if a certain damning piece of writing were permitted to remain on the walls."
Writing of the murderer: --
"Some freak of fancy had led him to write upon the wall this sentence: 'The Jewes are not the men to be blamed for
nothing.'
"I have never learned that any photographic record was made of this inscription, and when the City Police came to hear of it, they were horrified that their colleagues in the Metropolitan Force had wiped away what might have been an important piece of circumstantial evidence as to the class to which the murderer belonged."
That
the Jack the Ripper murders were ritual I do not allege; but that they were
Jewish seems to be established by the above-quoted paragraphs. Yet the clue was
passed over and the murderer remained at large. In what other cause would such
an important piece of evidence be ignored, and the whole community's interests
sacrificed for the sake of a Jew? It is
significant that Sir Chas. Warren was not only District Grand Master in
Masonry, 1891-5, but was actually the founder of the first research Lodge ––
Quatuor Coronati.
Is it
a sort of mass hypnotism worked upon people who have already either consciously
or unconsciously accepted some sort of mental or spiritual subservience to
Jewish influence? Is it cabbalistic?
I
cannot answer the question, but I find no other explanation for the wholesale
denunciation which is made by so many authoritative Britons against those who
have the courage to come forward and state their conviction that the Jews have
been responsible for the Ritual Murder of Christians. I know I shall be subjected
to a long-continued typhoon of abuse and libel against which I shall have no
defence except the contents of this book. I can only ask those who feel
compelled to take part in the campaign against what is inaccurately called
"anti-semitism" to pause and ask themselves whether they are really
mentally free, or whether they are almost unconsciously directed in their
intended action by alien tenets absorbed perhaps in their youth under Old
Testament teachings, in adult life by Masonic influence, or by Jewish books.
