CONFESSIONS OF A JEW
THE DEVASTATING RAMIFICATIONS
OF PAUL OF TARSUS AND
CHRISTIANITY
IN DESTROYING ROMAN CIVILIZATION
The following was written by Marcus Eli Ravage, a Jewish writer
(1884-1965). It appeared in the now defunct Century Magazine in the
February, 1928 issue. It is so clear, so direct, and its implications so
far-reaching, that the full disaster, so explicitly spelled out herein,
completely escapes the average befuddled White Christian. Here is the
heading and text of Ravage’s article:
A REAL CASE AGAINST THE JEWS
By Marcus Eli Ravage
Of course, you do resent us. It is no good telling me you don’t. So
let us not waste any time on denials and alibis. You know you do, and I
know it, and we understand each other. To be sure, some of your best
friends are Jews, and all that. I have heard that before once or twice, I
think. And I know, too, that you do not include me personally — “me” being
any particular individual Jew — when you fling out at us in your wholesale
fashion, because I am, well, so different, don't you know, almost as good
as one of yourselves. That little exemption does not, somehow, move me to
gratitude; but never mind that now. It is the aggressive, climbing,
pushing, materialistic sort you dislike — those, in a word, who remind you
so much of your own up-and-coming brethren. We understand each other
perfectly. I don’t hold it against you.
Bless my soul, I do not blame anybody for disliking anybody. The thing
that intrigues me about this anti-Jewish business, as you play at it, is
your total lack of grit. You are so indirect and roundabout with it, you
make such transparent excuses, you seem to be suffering from
self-consciousness so horribly, that if the performance were not
grotesque, it would be irritating.
It is not as if you were amateurs: you have been at it for over
fifteen centuries. Yet watching you and hearing your childish pretexts,
one might get the impression that you did not know yourselves what it is
all about. You resent us, but you can not clearly say why. You think up a
new excuse — a reason is what you call it — every other day. You have been
piling up justifications for yourselves these many hundreds of years and
each new invention is more laughable than the last and each new excuse
contradicts and annihilates the last.
Not so many years ago I used to hear that we were money-grubbers and
commercial materialists; now the complaint is being whispered around that
no art and no profession is safe against Jewish invasion.
We are, if you are to be believed, at once clannish and exclusive and
unassimilable because we won't intermarry with you, and we are also
climbers and pushers and a menace to your racial integrity.
Our standard of living is so low that we create your slums and sweat
industries, and so high that we crowd you out of your best residential
sections. We shirk our patriotic duty in wartime because we are pacifists
by nature and tradition, and we are the arch-plotters of universal wars
and the chief beneficiaries of those wars (see "The Protocols of the
Elders of Zion.")
We are at once the founders and leading adherents of capitalism and
the chief perpetrators of the rebellion against capitalism.
Surely, history has nothing like us for versatility!
And, oh! I almost forgot the reason of reasons. We are the
stiff-necked people who never accepted Christianity, and we are the
criminal people who crucified its founder.
But I tell you, you are self-deceivers. You lack either the
self-knowledge or the mettle to face the facts squarely and own up to the
truth. You resent the Jew not because, as some of you seem to think, we
crucified Jesus but because we gave him birth. Your real quarrel with us
is not that we have rejected Christianity but that we have imposed it upon
you!
Your loose, contradictory charges against us are not a patch on the
blackness of our proved historic offense. You accuse us of stirring up
revolution in Moscow. Suppose we admit the charge. What of it? Compared
with what Paul the Jew of Tarsus accomplished in Rome, the Russian
upheaval is a mere street brawl.
You make much noise and fury about the undue Jewish influence in your
theaters and movie palaces. Very good; granted your complaint is
well-founded. But what is that compared to our staggering influence in
your churches, your schools, your laws and your governments, and the very
thoughts you think every day?
A clumsy Russian forges a set of papers and publishes them in a book
called "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", which shows that we plotted
to bring on the late World War. You believe that book. All right. For the
sake of argument we will underwrite every word of it. It is genuine and
authentic. But what is that beside the unquestionable historical
conspiracy which we have carried out, which we have never denied because
you never had the courage to charge us with it, and of which the full
record is extant for anybody to read?
If you really are serious when you talk of Jewish plots, may I not
direct your attention to one worth talking about? What use is it wasting
words on the alleged control of your public opinion by Jewish financiers,
newspaper owners and movie magnates, when you might as well justly accuse
us of the proved control of your whole civilization by the Jewish Gospels?
You have not begun to appreciate the real depth of our guilt. We are
intruders. We are disturbers. We are subverters. We have taken your
natural world, your ideals, your destiny, and played havoc with them. We
have been at the bottom not merely of the latest Great War but of nearly
all your wars, not only of the Russian but of every other major revolution
in your history. We have brought discord and confusion and frustration
into your personal and public life. We are still doing it. No one can tell
how long we shall go on doing it.
Look back a little and see what has happened. Nineteen hundred years
ago you were an innocent, care-free, pagan race. You worshipped countless
Gods and Goddesses, the spirits of the air, of the running streams and of
the woodland. You took unblushing pride in the glory of your naked bodies.
You carved images of your gods and of the tantalizing human figure. You
delighted in the combats of the field, the arena and battle-ground. War
and slavery were fixed institutions in your systems. Disporting yourselves
on the hillsides and in the valleys of the great outdoors, you took to
speculating on the wonder and mystery of life and laid the foundations of
natural science and philosophy. Yours was a noble, sensual culture,
unirked by the prickings of a social conscience or by any sentimental
questionings about human equality. Who knows what great and glorious
destiny might have been yours if we had left you alone.
But we did not leave you alone. We took you in hand and pulled down
the beautiful and generous structure you had reared, and changed the whole
course of your history. We conquered you as no empire of yours ever
subjugated Africa or Asia. And we did it all without armies, without
bullets, without blood or turmoil, without force of any kind. We did it
solely by the irresistible might of our spirit, with ideas, with
propaganda.
We made you the willing and unconscious bearers of our mission to the
whole world, to the barbarous races of the earth, to the countless unborn
generations. Without fully understanding what we were doing to you, you
became the agents at large of our racial tradition, carrying our gospel to
the unexplored ends of the earth.
Our tribal customs have become the core of your moral code. Our tribal
laws have furnished the basic groundwork of all your august constitutions
and legal systems. Our legends and our folk tales are the sacred lore
which you croon to your infants. Our poets have filled your hymnals and
your prayer-books. Our national history has become an indispensable part
of your pastors and priests and scholars. Our kings, our statesmen, our
prophets, our warriors are your heroes. Our ancient little country is your
Holy Land. Our national literature is your Holy Bible. What our people
thought and taught has become inextricably woven into your very speech and
tradition, until no one among you can be called educated who is not
familiar with our racial heritage.
Jewish artisans and Jewish fishermen are your teachers and your
saints, with countless statues carved in their image and innumerable
cathedrals raised to their memories. A Jewish maiden is your ideal of
motherhood and womanhood. A Jewish rebel-prophet is the central figure in
your religious worship. We have pulled down your idols, cast aside your
racial inheritance, and substituted for them our God and our traditions.
No conquest in history can even remotely compare with this clean sweep of
our conquest over you.
How did we do it? Almost by accident. Two thousand years ago nearly,
in far-off Palestine, our religion had fallen into decay and materialism.
Money-changers were in possession of the temple. Degenerate, selfish
priests mulcted our people and grew fat. Then a young patriot-idealist
arose and went about the land calling for a revival of faith. He had no
thought of setting up a new church. Like all the prophets before him, his
only aim was to purify and revitalize the old creed. He attacked the
priests and drove the money-changers from the temple. This brought him
into conflict with the established order and its supporting pillars. The
Roman authorities, who were in occupation of the country, fearing his
revolutionary agitation as a political effort to oust them, arrested him,
tried him and condemned him to death by crucifixion, a common form of
execution at that time.
The followers of Jesus of Nazareth, mainly slaves and poor workmen, in
their bereavement and disappointment, turned away from the world and
formed themselves into a brotherhood of pacifist non-resisters, sharing
the memory of their crucified leader and living together communistically.
They were merely a new sect in Judea, without power or consequence,
neither the first nor the last.
Only after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans did the new
creed come into prominence. Then a patriotic Jew named Paul or Saul
conceived the idea of humbling the Roman power by destroying the morale of
its soldiery with the doctrines of love and non-resistance preached by the
little sect of Jewish Christians. He became the Apostle to the Gentiles,
he who hitherto had been one of the most active persecutors of the band.
And so well did Paul do his work that within four centuries the great
empire which had subjugated Palestine, along with half of the world, was a
heap of ruins. And the law which went forth from Zion became the official
religion of Rome.
This was the beginning of our dominance in your world. But it was only
a beginning. From this time forth your history is little more than a
struggle for mastery between your own old pagan spirit and our Jewish
spirit. Half your wars, great and little, are religious wars, fought over
the interpretation of one thing or another in our teachings. You no sooner
broke free from your primitive religious simplicity and attempted the
practice of the pagan Roman learning than Luther, armed with our gospels,
arose to down you and re-enthrone our heritage. Take the three principal
revolutions in modern times — the French, the American and the Russian.
What are they but the triumph of the Jewish idea of social, political and
economic justice?
And the end is still a long way off. We still dominate you. At this
very moment your churches are torn asunder by a civil war between
Fundamentalists and Modernists, that is to say between those who cling to
our teachings and traditions literally and those who are striving by slow
steps to dispossess us. In Dayton, Tennessee, a Bible-bred community
forbids the teaching of your science because it conflicts with our ancient
Jewish account of the origin of life; and Mr. Bryan, the leader of the
anti-Jewish Ku Klux Klan in the Democratic National Convention, makes the
supreme fight of his life in our behalf, without noticing the
contradiction. Again and again the Puritan heritage of Judea breaks out in
waves of stage censorship, Sunday blue laws and national prohibition acts.
And while these things are happening you twaddle about Jewish influence in
the movies!
Is it any wonder you resent us? We have put a clog upon your progress.
We have imposed upon you an alien book and an alien faith which you cannot
swallow or digest, which is at cross-purposes with your native spirit,
which keeps you everlastingly ill-at-ease, and which you lack the spirit
either to reject or to accept in full.
In full, of course, you never have accepted our Christian teachings.
In your hearts you are still pagans. You still love war and graven images
and strife. You still take pride in the glory of the nude human figure.
Your social conscience, in spite of all democracy and all your social
revolutions, is still a pitifully imperfect thing. We have merely divided
your soul, confused your impulses, paralyzed your desires. In the midst of
battle you are obliged to kneel down to him who commanded you to turn the
other cheek, who said "Resist not evil" and "Blessed are the peacemakers."
In your lust for gain you are suddenly disturbed by a memory from your
Sunday-school days about taking no thought for the morrow. In your
industrial struggles, when you would smash a strike without compunction,
you are suddenly reminded that the poor are blessed and that men are
brothers in the Fatherhood of the Lord. And as you are about to yield to
temptation, your Jewish training puts a deterrent hand on your shoulder
and dashes the brimming cup from your lips. You Christians have never
become Christianized. To that extent we have failed with you. But we have
forever spoiled the fun of paganism for you.
So why should you not resent us? If we were in your place we should
probably dislike you more cordially than you do us. But we should make no
bones about telling you why. We should not resort to subterfuges and
transparent pretexts. With millions of painfully respectable Jewish
shopkeepers all about us we should not insult your intelligence and our
own honesty by talking about communism as a Jewish philosophy. And with
millions of hard-working impecunious Jewish peddlers and laborers we
should not make ourselves ridiculous by talking about international
capitalism as a Jewish monopoly. No, we should go straight to the point.
We should contemplate this confused, ineffectual muddle which we call
civilization, this half-Christian half-pagan medley, and — were our places
reversed — we should say to you point-blank: "For this mess thanks to you,
to your prophets and to your Bible."
Observations: (Quotations from the above appear in bold face
type.) There you have the whole story in a nutshell, spelled out as
succinctly and explicitly as humanly possible. And, strangely enough, it
was written by a Jew. Why he would spill the beans we can only speculate,
but perhaps his arrogance and urge to brag to the world overcame his
discretion and his natural Jewish instinct to be devious. Whatever his
motives, the strange thing is, White Gentiles, especially Christians, can
read it a dozen times and still not grasp the full implications of what
this boastful Jew is saying.
A whole book could be written on this short article, but let us just
underscore some of the more cogent claims he makes.
* You resent us but you cannot clearly say why.
He goes on to show that the Gentiles think up every flimsy allegation
and accusation, but strangely fail to raise the most important reason of
all. The Jews are accused of being capitalists and communists at the same
time. They are accused of being pacifists and instigators of wars, and
also the beneficiaries of those wars. We accuse the Jews of stirring up
the Russian revolution. Ravage candidly admits all those charges are true,
and that they were also the prime movers of the French Revolution and the
American Revolution. He candidly admits that the charges in the “Protocols
of the Elders of Zion” are basically true (although like a typical Jew
claims they are a “forgery.” A “forgery” of what? A forgery implies an
original). He throws out the challenge: So what if all these charges are
true? We stupid Gentiles are accusing them of trivialities, but are afraid
to level the real charge, which is a thousand times more devastating. One
other common reason we Gentiles claim hatred of the Jews is that we accuse
them of crucifying “our Saviour,” Jesus Christ.
* But I tell you, you are self-deceivers. You lack either the self-
knowledge or the mettle to face the facts squarely and own up to the
truth.
This statement is so obviously true that it hardly needs any further
comment. What he says next is the real crux of the matter:
* Your real quarrel with us is not that we have rejected
Christianity, but that we have imposed it upon you.
This is such a significant truth that it should be emblazoned in
lights in every city, town and hamlet. Yet most White goyim will
vigorously deny this overwhelming disaster that drastically changed the
course of history and the destiny of the White Race, all for the worse.
Not only will these deluded yokels deny it, but they will vigorously
defend Christianity, then destroy and attack you for having the gall to
even question their misguided superstition.
* But what is that compared to our staggering influence in your
churches, your schools, your laws and your governments, and the very
thoughts you think every day? . . .
He is saying: that by foisting a Jewish concocted religion,
Christianity, upon us, they have set the shape of the matrix for all our
ideas, ideals, thoughts, objectives and goals. This includes government,
schools, laws and the basic philosophy of every other important
institution. He emphasizes:
* The unquestionable historical conspiracy we have carried out,
of which Christianity is the backbone and the big breakthrough, of
which the full record is extant for anybody to read and further
specifically points out the proved control of your whole civilization
by the Jewish Gospels.
* You have not begun to appreciate the real depth of our guilt.
This is an understatement. Until we CREATORS came along and
exposed the whole Jewish-Christian-Communist continuity of the foul Jewish
conspiracy to destroy the White Race, nobody, it seems had the integrity
(or the courage) to even explore this subject. However, with this book,
the White Man’s Bible, it is all there for anyone to read, and with
average intelligence, to comprehend.
After showing that the so-called pagan Greek and Roman civilizations
were laying the foundations of natural science and philosophy, (and
based on the Eternal Laws of Nature, as is CREATIVITY) and were
well on their way to unbridled greatness, he speculates:
* Who knows what great and glorious destiny might have been yours
if we had left you alone.
It is a question I, too, have often pondered and the possible answer
staggers the imagination. Had the Roman civilization advanced another
sixteen centuries with the progress it was making before it was blighted
by Christianity, the technological, genetic and artistic levels today
would be a marvel to behold. It is the objective of the CHURCH OF THE
CREATOR to pick up and carry on the progress of the White Race where
the ill-fated Romans left off and carry it to even greater heights.
* But we did not leave you alone. We took you in hand and pulled
down the beautiful and generous structure you had reared, and changed the
whole course of your history. We conquered you as no empire of yours ever
subjugated Africa or Asia.
How true and how catastrophic! It is the goal of the CHURCH OF THE
CREATOR to overcome this terrible affliction of the mind that
seventeen centuries ago the Jews foisted on the White Race and again
follow the great and glorious destiny Nature has in store for us. No
matter how long the road or how hard the task, this is our shining star.
We must follow it, come what may. No price is too high, no sacrifice too
great.
* Without fully understanding what we were doing to you, you became
the agents at large of our racial tradition, carrying our gospel to the
unexplored ends of the earth.
Unfortunately, nearly two thousand years later, the vast majority of
the White goyim still doesn’t understand either what the Jews have done to
us by means of their most effective tool, Christianity, and still
less does it understand what they are doing to us today. It is the avowed
objective of the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR to make this crystal clear
to our White Racial Comrades and again bring them back to their senses.
The Jewish religion, at the time, was an insignificant one of many
religions that were floating about in the Roman Empire. It was rapidly
falling apart at the seams due to its own rottenness.
* Nearly two thousand years ago in far-off Palestine, our religion
had fallen into decay and materialism.
Without their religion, the Jewish race, too, would soon have fallen
apart and disappeared, as we have shown in many other parts of this book.
What saved them was the zeal and dedication of Saul of Tarsus (the
Christians’ St. Paul) in spreading a poisonous new creed among the
Gentiles, a creed originating amongst a small Jewish sect (the Essenes)
and not attracting any particular attention, especially not the mainstream
of the Jews. In fact, Saul, recognizing its suicidal nature, at first
persecuted this sect, since he did not want the Jews to become infected
with it. Then he got the brilliant idea of feeding it to the Romans . . .
This was the most fatal and significant turning point in the history of
the White Race and of mankind as a whole.
* Then a patriotic Jew named Paul or Saul conceived the idea of
humbling the Roman power by destroying the morale of its soldiery with the
doctrines of love and non-resistance preached by the little sect of Jewish
Christians. He became the apostle to the Gentiles... and so well did Paul
do his work that within four centuries the great empire, which subjugated
Palestine along with half of the world, was a heap of ruins.
There you have it in essence. Christianity with its suicidal tenets of
compassion, non-resistance, equality and brotherly love for all the scum
of the earth, pulled down in a heap of ruins the most healthy, virile and
creative White Empire that ever existed.
Jewry received a new shot in the arm. It had made a tremendous
discovery — the power of religion in controlling the minds of men — friend
or foe — and the devastating effects when a bad religion is foisted on
their enemies by the organized, concentrated efforts of the Jewish
network. Their new discovery expanded from religion to all other forms of
propaganda.
* That was our beginning of our dominance of your world... Half
your wars, great and little, are religious wars, fought over the
interpretation of one thing or another in our teachings…
He goes on further to boast of the calamitous ramifications of this
insidious teaching:
* We have put a clog upon your progress. We have imposed an alien
book and an alien faith which you cannot swallow or digest, which is at
cross purposes with your native spirit, which keeps you everlastingly ill
at ease, and which you lack the spirit to either reject or accept in
full.
This is a prime example of the old saying “a house divided will not
stand” in full practice. The Jew with his abominable Christian creed has
scrambled the brains of the White Man with his spooks-in-the-sky swindle.
He has confused, crippled and divided our “native spirit” to where we are
stymied, paralyzed and stand naked and defenseless before our enemies. The
Jew has done it all by lending virtue to such suicidal ideas as "sell all
thou hast and give it to the poor", "love your enemies", "resist not
evil", "judge not", and "turn the other cheek." He taunts us further with
we have forever spoiled the fun of paganism for you.
* He concludes, so why should you not resent us? Why indeed ?
We should, and if we have any brains left at all, heap dire retribution
and vengeance upon them for all the evil they have foisted upon us for
these many millenniums. He candidly says that the Jews themselves would
not take such an outrage quietly, but would react with violent protest and
loud aggressive retaliation.
* No, we would go straight to the point. We should contemplate this
confused, ineffectual muddle which we call civilization, this
half-Christian, half-pagan medley, and, we would say to you point blank:
"For this mess, thanks to you, to your prophets, and your Bible."
Indeed they would. It is high time the White Race rises to a man,
plucks this abominable Jewish clog from out of our craw and throws it back
in their face. It is high time we adopt a religion of our own, a religion
that is in harmony with our native spirit, a religion that is not
alien to the best instincts of the White Race, but in tune with it,
and a religion that is in tune with the Eternal Laws of Nature.
Such a religion we now have in CREATIVITY.
