“Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin”
MOSES (by Michelangelo)
(Victor Ulyanov) “LENIN”
A Dialogue Between Adolf Hitler and Me
By Dietrich Eckart
Translated from the German by William L. Pierce
Editor’s Forward [slightly adapted by me, John de Nugent, who worked for Dr. Pierce and his National Alliance in 1981-84]
EDITOR’S FOREWORD: The following material has been translated from a pamphlet found in the NSDAP Hauptarchiv. Its German title was Der Bolschewismus von Moses bis Lenin: Zwiegespräch zwischen Adolf Hitler und mir, and it was originally published in Munich in March 1924 from unfinished notes on which Dietrich Eckart had been working in the autumn of 1923.
Dietrich Eckart was born on March 23, 1868, in the Bavarian town of Neumarkt, which means “New Market” and is located about twenty miles southeast of Nuremberg.

Plaque and mural in Neumarkt honoring Eckart in 1933, after Hitler came to power; it highlights him as, among other things, the originator of the slogan “Deutschland, Erwache!” (“Germany, awaken!”); notice how few people had cars then, with the Wall Street-triggered Great Depression still severely affecting Germany
Adolf Hitler, hatless, and his entourage, stand in icy rain in 1933, ten years after Eckart’s passing, to salute his memory at the end of a ceremony inaugurating the Dietrich Eckart Memorial in the city park in Neumarkt, which was also renamed as Neumarkt/Dietrich-Eckart-Stadt [ = “City”]
This monument still exists today, though leftist Antifa spray-paint it to desecrate it.
Even though it was idiotically renamed as the “King Christopher Monument” (for some Danish king that also was born in Neumarkt), the Antifa, hysterically afraid of a resurgence of national socialism, still have desecrated it.
In 1936, in preparation for the Berlin Olympics, this open-air theater in a Berlin park was created, and was called “The Dietrich Eckart Open-Air Stage at the Reich Sports Field”
It is now called simply the Waldbühne, the Woods Stage, and is used for open-air concerts.
Dietrich Eckart died of a heart attack on December 26, 1923, the day after Christmas, in beautiful Berchtesgaden.
[Eckart] was a poet, a playwright, a journalist, scholar, and a philosopher, as well as a dedicated fighter for the National Socialist cause. Among his better-known works are his play “Lorenzaccio” and his translation and adaptation for the German stage of [the great Norwegian playwright Henrik] Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt.”
He was for a while the editor of [the main NSDAP newspaper, the] Völkischer Beobachter, which means the “Racial-Folkish Observer.”.
And he wrote the NSDAP song, with the famous words and title “Deutschland erwache,” [ = “Germany, awaken”], which later became a NSDAP byword and was featured on all their standards they marched with.

1. Deutschland erwache aus deinem bösen Traum!
Gib fremden Juden in deinem Reich nicht Raum!
|: Wir wollen kämpfen für dein Auferstehn!
Arisches Blut soll nicht untergehn! 😐
2. All diese Heuchler, wir werfen sie hinaus,
Juda entweiche aus unserm deutschen Haus!
|: Ist erst die Scholle gesäubert und rein,
Werden wir einig und glücklich sein! 😐
3. Wir sind die Kämpfer der N.S.D.A.P.:
Treudeutsch im Herzen, im Kampfe fest und zäh.
|: Dem Hakenkreuze ergeben sind wir.
Heil unserm Führer, Heil Hitler dir! 😐
1. Germans awaken! Rouse from your restless dreams!
Traitors have lulled thee with foul and wretched schemes!
We want to fight for a new, brighter day!
Aryan blood shall not pass away!
2. All these deceivers, we throw them to the curb!
Our German nation, they’ll nevermore disturb!
Then when the soil is blameless and free,
Happy as one, will we ever be!
3. We are the soldiers “ to fight that is our creed!
True German warriors in struggle and in deed!
Pledged to our banner, devoted are we!
Hail to our Fuhrer! We hail to thee!
Eckart also was likely the first person to ever refer to Adolf Hitler, in December 1921, as “der Führer”(“the Leader”).
The reader interested in more details of Eckart’s life, as well as a fairly extensive sampling of his poetry, is referred to Alfred Rosenberg’s book [in German], Dietrich Eckart: Ein Vermächtnis (Munich, 1928 ff)
Der Bolschewismus is of interest to Americans today for three reasons. First, it is the last earthly work of the man who, as the intimate companion of Adolf Hitler during those critical, early years in Munich, helped prepare the spiritual foundations of National Socialism. Eckart had been seriously ill as he was writing the pamphlet, and his arrest and temporary imprisonment, a consequence of the Munich putsch of November 9, 1923, were followed shortly by his death.
Landsberg prison
Second, it is instructive, as being representative of a certain category of propaganda.
Eckart was a practical propagandist as well as an idealist and a poet, and Der Bolschewismus is an excellent example of his style. Aimed at the reader with the equivalent of a high-school education, it is skillfully contrived to avoid tediousness and maintain a relatively unsophisticated audience’s interest while making a rather extensive, if not intensive, historical investigation of the Jewish question. It achieves this by relegating the great majority of documentary evidence to footnotes and by liberally interspersing historically significant points with spicy or amusing tidbits.
Third, it is of considerable interest, even today, for its own sake. Although the last forty years have unfortunately provided us with considerably more experience of Jewish-Bolshevist activities, Eckart did quite well with the materials available to him in 1923. Of particular interest is his use of the Old Testament, as a history of the Jews, to throw light onto more recent Jewish activities.
Eckart’s notes for Der Bolschewismus were still in rather rough and unfinished form when he died, and this will be evident at a few places in the text which follows. The editor has slightly condensed the original material during his translation, omitting several of the more ragged portions and such things as untranslatable puns, as well as a few sections which have limited interest for present-day readers. Additional footnotes have been added by the editor in a few places, and these are so designated.
Bolshevism — from Moses to Lenin
A Dialogue Between Adolf Hitler and Me
I
“Yes!” he cried. “We’ve been on the wrong track! Consider how an astronomer would handle a similar situation.
Suppose that he has been carefully observing the motion of a certain group of celestial bodies over a long period of time. Examining his records, he suddenly notices something amiss:
˜Darn it!’ he says. ˜Something’s wrong here. Normally, these bodies would have to be situated differently relative to one another; not this way.
So there must be a hidden force somewhere — which is responsible for the deviation.”
And, using his observations, he performs lengthy calculations and accurately computes the location of a planet which no eye has yet seen, but which is there all the same, as he has just proved.
But what does the historian do, on the other hand? He explains an anomaly of the same type solely in terms of the conspicuous statesmen of the time. It never occurs to him that there might have been a hidden force which caused a certain turn of events. But it was there, nevertheless; it has been there since the beginning of history.
You know what that force is: the Jew.”
“Yes, certainly,” I replied, “but to prove it, to prove it!
For the last fifty or hundred years, so far as I’m concerned, it’s been obvious; indeed, a good deal further back, perhaps even in pre-Christian times ¦”
“My dear fellow,” he replied to me, “we can already read back in Strabo (NN: Strabo was an Ancient Greek geographer and historian, who lived between around 63 B.C. and 24 A.D. and wrote the important book “Geographica”1) that already in his time, shortly after the birth of Christ, there was hardly a place to be found on the whole earth which was not then dominated by the Jews; “dominated,” he writes, not merely inhabited.
(1) Strabo (Greek geographer and historian, ca. 63 B.C. ” ca. 24 A.D.), Geographica.
Already decades earlier, [the leading Roman senator,] Cicero (2), who ”at that time was a great and powerful man, my friend! ” suddenly lost his nerve when, in his well-known defense plea in the Capitol, he was obliged to point out the great influence and the cohesiveness of the Jews:
˜Softly, softly! I want none but the judges to hear me. The Jews have already gotten me into a fine mess, as they have many another gentleman. I have no desire to furnish further grist for their mills.’
(2) Marcus Tullius Cicero, Oratio pro L. Flacco. In 59 B.C. Cicero defended the proconsul Flaccus, who, at the instigation of Jews was accused of corruption in connection with his administrative activity in [the Roman province] of Syria.
Similarly, the influence of the Jews with the founding emperor, Augustus, was so great that they completely intimidated Pontius Pilate, who, as deputy of the Roman Emperor, was certainly not a nobody. Thus he said,
˜For God’s sake, away with this sordid Jewish affair!’ as he reached for the washbasin and condemned Christ, whom he considered guiltless, to death. (3) (3) John 19:12.
Considering these things, my friend, every child knows — or rather, could know — how late the hour already was at that time. “
He reaches for the Old Testament, briefly flips the pages,
..and “There!” he cried, “the recipe from which the Jews always brew their hellish broth! We anti-Semites are really something. We manage to find out everything — except what is really important.”
Word for word, he emphatically read out with a harsh voice:
“And I [meaning Yahweh, the god of the Jews, here speaking to the so-called prophet Isaiah, in Isaiah 19:2-3] will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother and every one against his neighbor; city against city and kingdom against kingdom. And the spirit of Egypt shall fall in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. (4) (4) Isaiah 19:2-3.
“Yes indeed,” he laughed bitterly, “now the people will seek to Dr. Cuno, and Dr. Schweyer, and Dr. Heim, (5) and whatever other charmers and wizards they have.
(5) Three figures prominent in German politics in 1923: the German Chancellor, the Bavarian Minister of the Interior, and the founder and leader of the Bavarian People’s Party, respectively. [Translator]
When asked why Germany has become a pigsty, these gentlemen will answer reproachfully,
˜You yourselves are to blame. You have no more good breeding, no faith, only selfishness and conceit.
Now you will try to put the blame on the Jews. It’s always been like that when you have needed a scapegoat. Then everyone has jumped on the Jews and persecuted them unmercifully. And just because they had the money, and because they were defenseless.
Is it any wonder that a few individual Jews are behaving in a reprehensible manner now? After all, one finds some black sheep in every group. As if there weren’t a good number of decent Jews! Look at their piety, their sense of family responsibility, their sober way of life, their readiness to make sacrifices, and, above all, their ability to stick together! And you? At one another like dogs and cats: sheer insanity!’
Thus will the mediums and spiritists prattle on and on to the masses, until, one night, the blood sign of protection will appear on all the houses of the Jews.
Then the infuriated masses, led by the wonderful Jews, will swarm forth to smite all the firstborn in the land once again, just as in Egypt of yore. ” (6) (6) Exodus 12:7-13,29-30.
“Remember how it was here in Munich during the communist takeover?” I interjected. “The houses of the Jews certainly weren’t marked with blood, but there must have been a secret arrangement, because among all those who suffered the misfortune of a house search, not one was a Jew. As a matter of fact, one of the stupid Red troopers who had me by the hair answered my sarcastic question by explaining that it was forbidden to search the houses of the Jews.
“And in 1871, in Paris [NN: this was during the uprising known as the Paris Commune], the Jewish plan to defend themselves from the mob also ran according to plan. There the communists destroyed whatever they could, but the many properties and houses of the Rothschild family remained completely intact. (7) (7) James K. Hosmer, The Jews (New York, 1885), p. 272. [NN: Translator]
All this enables us to understand the place in Exodus according to which ˜a mixed multitude’ also left Egypt with the Jews.”
“In Egypt the scoundrels’ scheme succeed only about halfway,” he finished. “The Egyptians became masters of the situation at the last moment and sent the ˜mixed multitude’ to the devil, together with the Jews.
***
Many of the Egyptians in the middle and upper class were whites, with red or blond hair and blue eyes.
***
There must have been a desperate struggle. The slaughter of the firstborn reveals that clearly enough. Just as they have done with us, the Jews had won the great lower stratum of the population for themselves ” ˜Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!’ ”
until one night they sent out the order, ˜Down with the bourgeois! Kill them, the dogs!’ but things didn’t turn out so well as they had expected. That portion of the Egyptian nation that had remained patriotic turned the tables and booted Moses, Cohn, and Levi out of the country, followed by the inhabitants whom they had incited. During this exodus they carried along as much stolen booty as they could manage, the Bible reports with satisfaction. It also reports, in no uncertain terms, that the Egyptians were glad to be rid of them. (8) (8) Exodus 12:35-36; Psalms 105:38
Exodus 12:35-36 New English Translation (NET Bible)
35 Now the Israelites had done as Moses told them—they had requested from the Egyptians silver and gold items and clothing. 36 The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted, and so they plundered Egypt.
Psalm 105:38 New English Translation (NET Bible)
38 Egypt was happy when they left,
for they were afraid of them.
Queen Nefertiti
The best, though, was the reward the Jews gave their stupid Egyptian accomplices.
Suddenly they began calling them ˜rabble,’ (9) whereas formerly they had called them ˜comrade’ and pretended to love them. Imagine the faces which these deluded ones must have made in the desert when they heard that.”
“The murder of seventy-five thousand Persians, glorified in the Old Testament’s Book of Esther, no doubt had the same Bolshevist background,” I answered. “The Jews certainly didn’t accomplish that all by themselves.”
(NN: The Book of Esther is one long, uninterrupted book of Jewish intrigue and vengeance. The word “God” is not even mentioned once in it. In it, and we have no idea if any of it is true, and not a pure invention of Jewish malice, we read how the secretly Jewish wife of the Persian emperor proves so good in bed she can get him to order a massacre of 70,000 antisemites in his empire. This includes the hanging of the key antisemite, the prime minister Haman, and also of his ten sons. After translating this sordid book from Hebrew into German, and pondering it all, even the pious former monk Martin Luther was so shaken by its contents that he asked if it should even belong in the Bible. The point that Eckart and Hitler made was that the “Great Reformer” Luther lacked the guts to truly “reform” Christianity by going all the way — and scrapping the entire bloodthirsty Old Testament.]
“They no more killed those 70,000 alone,” Hitler confirmed, “than in the dreadful bloodbath over half the Roman Empire which took place during the reign of Emperor Trajan [marble bust photo]. Hundreds of thousands of non-Jewish nobles in Babylonia, in Cyrenaica, in Egypt, and on Cyprus were butchered like cattle, most of them after the most abominable torture! (10)
(10) In volume two, chapter 16 (page 384 of the 1783 London edition) of his History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon reports:
“From the reign of Nero to that of Antoninus Pius [NN: that is, a 100-year period], the Jews discovered a fierce impatience of the dominion of Rome, which repeatedly broke out in the most furiousmassacres and insurrections.
Humanity is shocked at the recital of the horridcruelties which they committed in the cities of Egypt, of Cyprus, and of Cyrene, where they dwelt in treacherousfriendship with the unsuspectingnatives.
In Cyrene they massacred 220,000Greeks; in Cyprus,240,000, in Egypt, “a very great multitude.”
Many of these unhappy victims were sawed asunder, according to a precedent to which KingDavid had given the sanction of his own royal example.
The victoriousJewsdevoured the flesh, licked up the blood, and twisted the entrails like a girdleround their bodies.” [Translator]
And today the Jews still rejoice over that.
˜If only the various centers of rebellion had cooperated,‘ triumphs the Jew, Heinrich Graetz, ˜then perhaps they would have been able to give the Roman colossus its death blow at that time.’ “ (11) (11) Heinrich Graetz, Geschichte der Juden von den ältesten Zeiten [ = “History of the Jews from the Most Ancient Times”] (Breslau, 1853).
“The Jews call our Sedan Day (12) celebration barbarous,” I remarked. (12) On September second of each year. the Germans in Imperial Germany, under the kaisers, celebrated the great Prussian and German victory in the Franco-Prussian War, leading to the surrender of Napoleon III, which took place in Sedan, France on that day back in 1870.
Interestingly, 70 years later, in 1940, the Germans won another crushing victory over the French at the same location, Sedan, leading to the second fall of France.[Translator]
“But these same Jews find it entirely in order that, year in and year out, they still, after all this enormous time, 2,500 years, celebrate in their synagogues their heroic deed concerning the massacre of seventy-five thousand Persians, in their own country, which they call “the Feast of Purim.”
“None of this evidence seems to make any impression on us, however,” Hitler said dryly. “One would think us deaf and blind.
“Well before the first clash with the Egyptians, the head scoundrel, the modest Joseph, had pretty carefully prepared: the seven lean cows, all the granaries filled, the people raging with hunger, the reigning Pharaoh a perfect flunky of the Jews, and so Joseph, with his corner on the grain supply, is, quote,˜ruler over all the land’! (13)
All the lamentations of the Egyptians were in vain; the Jew held the warehouse closed with an iron fist until they, in their own country, in return for a bit of bread, were obliged to give away first their money, then their cattle and their land, and finally their freedom.
And suddenly the capital of Egypt was swarming with Jews; good old Jacob was there, and, quote, ˜his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed’ ” yes, the entire hodgepodge. (14) (14) Genesis 46:7.
And Joseph ˜wept a good while’ for joy. Afterward, he said to his brothers: ˜ye shall eat the fat of the land,’ and ˜the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ (15)
“But some time after this glorious “Egyptian citizen of the Jewish faith,” at one hundred and ten years of age, had finally died, the old Pharaoh also passed away too, and was succeeded by another Pharaoh, who ˜knew not Joseph.’
And he, seeing the multitude of Jews, who meanwhile had grown very powerful, became quite frightened. (16) Exodus 1:6-10 says.
6 Now Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died out, 7 but the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.
8 Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt. 9 “Look,” he said to his people, “the Israelites have become far too numerous for us. 10 Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous — and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and then leave the country.”
Thus the new Pharaoh was much smarter than Wilhelm II, (17) who actually hoped for the Jews’ sincere support.
(17) This refers to Emperor William II of Germany, who abdicated in 1918 after the Marxist-Jewish revolution in Germany had led to the crumbling of her war effort — and the loss of World War I. [Translator]
“Before God and history my conscience is clear. I never wanted the war.”
The Jews must work, the new Pharaoh decided. In all seriousness, work. ˜Unmerciful,’ wailed the Jewish chronicler. No wonder that they breathed vengeance. After all, what did one have the rabble for, if not to do the work?
“By now, the Egyptians had forgotten dear Joseph, who was dead and gone but there was no lack of others on whom to blame the state of affairs, namely the landowners of Egypt, the industrialists, the bourgeois. According to the Jews, no one else was responsible.
˜Proletarians of all countries, unite!’ And the masses believed it and turned on their own flesh and blood for the sake of the ˜chosen people,’ who had brought on all their distress in the first place.
But to us they touchingly read aloud in our schools the beautiful story of Joseph and his brothers. No doubt many teachers have ˜wept a good while.’
It’s enough to drive one to despair.”
Chapter II
Hitler paused with a very dark look at the Book of Hate. [NN: This refers to the Old Testament.]
“And so it goes, through the entire Old Testament,” he began again.
“Indeed, I’m telling you nothing new, but we must bring it home to ourselves as often as possible in order to be able to counteract the constant hypocritical babble.
Really, the Book of Joshua alone should suffice; such a thing of uninterrupted genocide, of bestial cruelty, of shameless rapacity and cold-blooded cunning. It is Hell incarnate! And everything in the name of Yahweh, in fact, according to his express wish!
And there we learn that when the city of Jericho fell victim to the Jews, it was because of the treachery of the harlot Rahab. Neither man nor beast, neither young nor old remained among the living; only the whore, who had betrayed her own people, was spared, actually she, and her whole, noble family, who got rewarded with the privilege of living in Israel. (18) (18).
Joshua 6:25:: .25 But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies into Jericho—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
And what good–natured peoples they were who, one after another, were completely exterminated!
Friedrich Delitzsch, [NN: he was the son of a Lutheran theologian, an expert on semitic languages, and a full professor at the universities of Leipzig and Berlin] who has thoroughly investigated that period [NN: that is, of the Jewish invasion of Palestine], writes, for example, about the Canaanites:
“on all the hills, under every shady tree, they rendered adoration and reverence to the sun god and to the salutary goddess Aschera”
…and Delitzsch compares this beautiful, poetic custom with the pious way of our Catholic villagers, serving the Almighty in remote mountain chapels.” (19) (19) This was taken from Friedrich Delitzsch’s major and widely read book, Die Grosse Täuschung: Kritische Betrachtungen zu den alttestamentlichen Berichten üiber Israels Eindringen in Kanaan, Die Gottesoffenbarung vom Sinai, und die Wirksamkeit der Propheten [ = “The Great Deception: Critical Reflections on the Old Testament Reports on Israel’s Invasion of Canaan, The Divine Revelation from Sinai, and the Effectiveness of the Prophets” (Stuttgart, 1920). (Delitszch also taught that Jesus Christ was actually, genetically, an Aryan.)
“Joshua alone,” I emphasized, “was responsible for the massacre of thirty-one kings, with all their people. Among those nations exterminated in these predatory raids were several who had yielded themselves trustingly to him.
Each time the sinister words, ˜let none survive,’ were heard.
I am inclined to believe that the rabble, or at least their descendants, must have still been the obedient shock troops of the Jews, not because the work was so atrocious, but because the children of Israel have always let deluded Gentiles do their dirty work, particularly where danger was involved.
Besides, they would not have been strong enough to subdue the peoples to whom they were opposed, without the bellicose enthusiasm of their brutalized comrades.
“Of particular interest is the evident satisfaction with which the Jews have deliberately enumerated each of the slain kings.One is reminded of the prophet Isaiah. In one place, he raves as if possessed:
˜Yahweh is angry at all the Gentiles; he will deliver them to the slaughter; their land will became burning pitch; it will become a wasteland, soaked with their blood; there will be no nobles in the land; their princes will die out.’ (20) (20) Isaiah 34.
Isaiah
Between Isaiah and Joshua were hundreds of years, but in that whole time the infernal rage of the Jews against non-Jewish royalty hadn’t changed a bit. ”
[NN: Let us note that when Eckart and Hitler were discussing all this, just five years beforehand, as a result of World War One, which the Jews had instigated and kept going, the thousand-year-old dynasty of the Habsburgs in Austria had been overthrown, the thousand-year- old dynasty of the Hohenzollerns in Germany and the 300-year-old dynasty of the Romanovs in Russia.]
“And in all eternity nothing will change,” he proceeded, “so far as the attitude of the Jews toward our kings and our leaders is concerned. To destroy them is their eternal sin, and when they can’t accomplish this by force, then they will use cunning.
Whenever we have a strong leadership, the Jews are obliged to keep their noses clean.
Our leadership can be truly strong, however, only if it is based completely in our people; only if it concerns itself with the welfare of the least among them just as much as with that of the wealthiest of them; only if, in the firm conviction of its own worth, it bars every alien influence from the beginning; only if it is not merely national, but is also social, down to its very bones.
No matter what others may say, I assert this: a time will come when all the elite nations of the world will have such a leadership; and then everyone will be astonished to see that, instead of grating on one another as has previously been the case, they will treat one another with respect and consideration.
For then there will be no more whipping up of land greed, of an itching for power, of suspicion ” sentiments which exist in unmixed form only in the isolated few, and not in the more trusting general populace, anyhow. There will be an end to the lying praise of an indiscriminate human brotherhood, which would be possible, if at all, only under the supposition that one had from the first excluded that eternal mischief-maker, the Jew.
But had this been done, there would be no need to push the universal brotherhood idea; the various peoples would find themselves compatible of their own accord. ”
[NN: Hitler is making an important spiritual and also psychological point here, that a government that treats all of its own people with respect, even the weak, uneducated and poor, will also treat other nations with respect, both large and also small, rich and also poor.]
Chapter III
“Tell me,” I interrupted him; “strictly speaking, do you consider the Jew to be a nationalistic, or an internationalistic people?”
“Neither,” was his answer.
“One who really feels international has as much regard for the rest of the world as he does for his own nation. Were our swarms of so-called internationalists really like that, fine. But I fear that they are secretly more concerned with the attitude of the rest of the world toward themselves than with their own attitude toward the world.
Internationalism requires basically good intentions. But the Jew fundamentally and completely lacks these. He hasn’t the remotest idea of classifying himself with the rest of humanity. His aim is to dominate others in order to extort from them at his leisure. Were he really interested in comradeship, he has had the longest and most abundant opportunity for it.
Yahweh’s command to make no alliances with foreign peoples, but, on the contrary, to devour them, one after the other, went straight to the Jew’s heart. (21) (21) Exodus 34:12; Deuteronomy 7:16.
Everywhere one greeted the Jew with cordiality — at first: in ancient Egypt, in Persia, in Babylonia, in Europe; the cloven hoof appeared everywhere.
The early Germanic conquerors of Rome found him with a number of arrogated rights and made no move to dispossess him of these. He was allowed to do business wherever and however he wanted, even in the slave trade, toward which he has always been peculiarly inclined. Like everyone else, he could hold public office, including the magistracy; and his so-called religion was protected by the state.
Thus wrote Otto Hauser [photo], who is an excellent source of fascinating illuminations regarding the Jews.” (22) (22) Otto Hauser, Geschichte des Judentums [ = History of the Jews] (Weimar, 1921), p. 251.
“I should say so!” I nodded. “One must partake of him with caution though, otherwise one may not see the black forest for the ˜blond’ trees. (23) (23) Hauser distinguishes “light” or “blond” men, or, as he says, men of noble race, from “dark” or “black” men of inferior race. Wherever he has occasion to mention a blond Jew in his book, he praises him to the sky. For my part, 1 have met some of the greatest rascals among blond Jews.
On the whole, I prefer Werner Sombart, even though his Berlin lectures swarm with Jews.”
“Now, he says the same thing!” he cried. “According to him the Jews were by no means always second-class citizens. In antiquity one even found them often having special privileges which absolved them from certain duties, such as military service. (24) (24) Werner Sombart, Die Juden und das Wirtschaftsleben [ = “The Jews and Economic Life”] (Leipzig, 1911), p. 356.
It was certainly never their strong side to risk armed conflict. In our “War of Liberation” (25) (25) [against Napoleon Bonaparte 1813-1815] [Translator] the Jews of Deutsch-Krone, in Pomerania, sent a petition to the king, requesting permission to remain home from the campaign in return for money. In this petition they argued that ten thousand talers would be of much more use to the war effort than the frankly questionable fighting ability of a Jew. The petition was accepted, not only from them, but also from the Jews of five more of the seven Prussian districts.” (26) (26) Hauser, op. cit, p. 376.
“Yes, I know that place in Hauser,” I added; “it is authentic. He also quotes there from Meyer’s Encyclopedia, however, including a lying statement which calmly claims that the Jews, through their heroic spirit in the War of Liberation, proved themselves as worthy German citizens.”
.
“Just as they did in the World War,” he winked expressively. “If I had my way, I’d require placards to be hung in all the schools, at every street corner, and in every public room, on which would be printed nothing but Schopenhauer’s description of the Jews: ˜Great masters of the lie’! (27) (27) Arthur Schopenhauer, Parerga und Paralipomena II § 174.
There is no better description. And it applies without exception to every Jew equally, whether high or low, stock exchange tycoon or rabbi, baptized or circumcised.
Our servile people! Provoked for thousands of years! And the innocents are taken in again and again by this blatant swindle. It is understandable that they become surly with the Jews, but only after the latter have shamelessly abused their naive good nature and plundered them to the skin with their usury and fraud.
And that has been the case everywhere: in the old Roman Empire, in Egypt, in Asia, later in England, Italy, France, Poland, Holland, Germany, and even, as Sombart writes, ˜in the
Iberian peninsula, that is,m in Spain and Portugal, where the Jews have experienced so many blessings’!
“And the game they’re playing today, they have been at for two thousand years,” he continued. “I think that suffices to characterize the nature of Jewish internationalism.
Now we still have left to consider the national feeling of the Jews. Naturally not that of the one Jew for the Germany he lives in, and off, or of the other for England, and so on. Not many mice are to be caught with that bait any longer.
“Send me a box full of German soil, so that I can at least symbolically defile the accursed country,’ wrote the German Jew, Börne (28)

And Heinrich Heine sniffed out Germany’s future from a toilet bowl. (29) (29) Heinrich (alias Chaim) Heine, Deutschland, ein Wintermärchen (1844).
The oh-so-acclaimed physicist Albert Einstein also would have nothing to do with any German nationalism.
He stated that he considered it ˜deceitful’ that it was the custom of the Central Association of German Citizens of Jewish Faith (30) (30) Zentralverein deutscher Staatsbiirger judischen Glaubens [Translator] of concerning themselves only with the religious interests of the Jews, and not with their ethnic community also.
A rare bird? No, only one who believed his people already safely in control, and thus considers it no longer necessary to keep up any pretenses.
In the Central Association itself, the mask has already fallen. A Dr. Brünn frankly admitted there that no real Jew could ever have any German national spirit. (31) (31) Artur Brünn, Im Deutschen Reich (the periodical of the Zentralverein) 1913, No. 8.
We always mistake their unprincipled exertions to accommodate themselves to all and everyone for impulses of the heart. Whenever they see an advantage to be gained by adopting a certain pose, they never hesitate, and certainly wouldn’t let ethical considerations stand in their way. How many Galician Jews have first become Germans, then Englishmen, and finally Americans! And every time in the twinkling of an eye. With startling rapidity they change their nationality back and forth, and wherever their feet touch, there resounds either the ˜Watch on the Rhine,’ or the ˜Marsellaise,’ or ˜Yankee Doodle.’
Dr. Heim does not once question the fact that our Warburgs, our Bleichroders, or our Mendelssohns are able to transfer their patriotism as well as their residence of today to London or to New York on the morrow. ˜On the sands of Brandenburg an Asiatic horde!’ Walther Rathenau once blurted out about the Berlin Jews. (32) (32) Walther Rathenau, Berliner Kulturzentren, 1913. Rathenau was a Jewish war profiteer in World War I and later a minister in the Weimar government. He was executed by German patriots in 1922. [Translator]
He forgot to add that the same horde is on the Isar, the Elbe, the Main, the Thames, the Seine, the Hudson, the Neva, and the Volga. And all of them with the same deceit toward their neighbors.
Our political charmers and wizards, however, distinguish between respectable and not-so-respectable Jews, between settled and newly immigrated Jews, between western and eastern Jews, and if worse comes to worst, they shrug their shoulders and mutter their phrase: “Every country has the Jews it deserves.”
It means nothing to them that it was a Jew who coined this fine-sounding phrase.
Nor that in the case of Germany, considering the quality of the Jews we have ˜deserved,’ that phrase is a resounding slap in the face!
“All Israel stands openly in the British camp!’ announced the American union leader Samuel Gompers in 1916.
And that includes the German Jews too, as the American, [Henry] Ford, well knew. He has written of the faithlessness of the so-called ˜German’ Jews toward the country where they live, of the fact that they have united themselves with the rest of the world’s Jews toward the ruin of Germany.
˜Why?’ jeers the Jew. ˜Because the German is a vulgar scoundrel, a backward, medieval creature, who hasn’t the faintest idea of our worth. And we should help such rabble? No, he has the Jews he deserves!’
Such arrogance is indeed staggering to behold.”
I reminded Adolf of Russia. “Before the Soviet Revolution, the Jews condemned her as a downright sewer of vileness, even though it is they who were the vermin in that sewer; now, the same Jews are at the helm, and, presto-changeo, the same Russia is now a great nation.”
“In the year 1870,” he rejoined, “we Germans had the temporary privilege of being a great people. The Jews considered that the time had arrived for replacing the French emperor [Napoleon III], who had become undependable, with a pliable, democratic president. This also seemed an excellent opportunity to establish the Commune; (33) (33) A Jew-controlled, socialist government of Paris which lasted only from March 18 to May 27, 1871, but which was responsible for thousands of horribly atrocious murders during this brief period. [Translator]
Communard barricade and cannon on the Rue Royale in Paris
The French Army represented the conservative French countryside and had no appetite for another French Revolution, and its guillotines, mob rule and mass murder. It gunned the communards down in street battles and house-to-house fighting.
The French proto-bolsheviks with their red flag (see drawing, on the right) took the archbishop of Paris, Georges Darboy, and five other hostages, three of them priests, into the courtyard of a Paris prison, lined them up against the wall, and shot them. The French Army retook the city, and killed at least 7,000 of the leftist communards.

The great French novelist Gustave Flaubert wrote:[97]
I come from Paris, and I do not know whom to speak to. I am suffocated. I am quite upset, or rather out of heart. The sight of the ruins is nothing compared to the great Parisian insanity. With very rare exceptions, everybody seemed to me only fit for the strait-jacket. One half of the population longs to hang the other half, which returns the compliment. That is clearly to be read in the eyes of the passers-by.
***
But the Jews wanted Napoleon III out of power in Paris, and the leftist Commune in. So suddenly the press talked of “the heroic German people.’
No wonder that right behind our German princes and generals a pack of gesticulating Jewish financiers rode into Paris.
Meanwhile, though, we Germans have sunk back down into the pack again. The press, ˜that select tool of the Antichrist,’ as Bismarck called it, has designated us as the “Boches,” and ˜the Huns.”
But have patience! The more quickly we approach Bolshevism, the more glorious we will become again. And one fine day it will be the English and the French who are the scoundrels. One doesn’t need spectacles to see that. ˜I am a British subject but, first and foremost, a Jew,’ screamed a Hebrew years ago in a large English-Jewish newspaper. (34) (34) M.J. Wodeslowsky, Jewish World, January 1, 1909.
And another: ˜Whoever has to choose between his duties as an Englishman and as a Jew must choose the latter.’ (35) (35) Joseph Cohen, Jewish World, November 4, 1913.
And a third: ˜Jews who want to be both patriotic Englishmen and good Jews are simply living a lie.” (36) (36) That is taken from the Jewish Chronicle, December 10, 1911.
The fact that they could venture to say things of that sort, and so openly and blatantly, indicates how overrun with Jews England already was back then. ”
“The stronghold of European Jewry had its origin in the period between Cromwell and Edward VII,” I emphasized. “Since then, however, the center of Jewish activity seems to have been transferred to America. They have had a good footing there for a long time.
Sombart maintains that it was Jewish money which made the first two voyages of Columbus possible. (37) (37) Sombart, op. cit., pp. 32-33. A Jew, Luis de Torres, is supposed to have been the first European to step on American soil. And, topping everything else, the Jews have recently claimed Columbus himself as one of them.”
“That’s not surprising,” he laughed. “Everyone who has somehow played a role in the world, the dear Lord included, is a Jew. They even have Goethe and Schopenhauer on their list. And blessed be he who believes it. For my part, I contest them Columbus as well as Torres; ocean travel was pretty dangerous back then.”
“According to Hauser,” I replied, “Columbus was an Aryan, perhaps even of German descent. ”
“It’s all the same to me,” he responded. “As far as I’m concerned, he could have been a Zulu. I’d sooner attribute his deed to a Negro than to a Jew.”
“Completely aside from that, it’s clear that they have had America by the throat for quite a while,” I continued. “No country, writes Sombart, displays more of a Jewish character than the United States. (38) (38) Ibid., p. 39 We have already seen a consequence of this in the World War. In 1915, at a time when the true Americans hadn’t the slightest thought of a war against us and, in fact, were so disposed toward us that any indication of a possible conflict of interest could have been smoothly and amicably settled, a secret advisory committee met with President Wilson for the sole purpose of preparing the country for war against Germany. (39)
***
(39) Five years after Der Bolschewismus was written ” on June 2, 1928 ” an article appeared in Liberty magazine, by the former head of the United States Secret Service, William J. Flynn, detailing the previously secret intrigues of Wilson, Baruch, et al. in 1915 to engage the United States in the World War. But these treacherous proceedings pale into insignificance when compared to the activities of the Zionist Jews in 1916, following the negotiations between the British Government and world Jewry which led to the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
In a pamphlet published in London in March 1936 by the New Zion Press and entitled Great Britain, The Jews, and Palestine, Samuel Landman, the well-known Zionist, states that these negotiations led to a “quid pro quo contract” in which Jewry agreed to use its influence to bring America into the war on Britain’s side in return for Britain’s guarantee that Palestine would be handed over to the Jews.
Landman says that, once the negotiations were complete, “the change in official and public opinion, as reflected in the American press in favor of joining the Allies in the War, was as gratifying as it was surprisingly rapid.”
Eckart, of course, did not know the full story of these arrangements in 1923. [Translator]
***
And who was the chief wire-puller in these nefarious activities, which were set into motion a full two years before the engagement of the United States in the war? The previously unknown Jew, Bernard Baruch. [photo] ˜I believed that the war would come, long before it came,’ he later calmly explained to the special committee of Congress which confirmed all this.
And no one got up and beat the crafty scoundrel to a pulp.”
“The resolution of the Jewish high command many years ago to unleash the World War is well authenticated,” he said. “At the sixth Zionist Congress in Basel, in 1903, the president, Max Nordau, proclaimed: ˜Herzl knows that we stand before a tremendous upheaval of the whole world.’ (40)
***
(40) Litman Rosenthal, American Jewish News, September 19, 1919. Rosenthal, writing in reminiscence of his attendance at the 1903 conference, blatantly lays bare the eager Jewish anticipation of a world war, eleven years before the fact. Nordau’s speech continues “Let me tell you the following words as if I were showing you the rungs of a ladder leading upward and upward: Herzl, the Zionistic Congress, the English Uganda proposition, the future world war, and the peace conference — where with the help of England a free and Jewish Palestine will be created.” [Translator]
***
Good old Theodore Herzl! What an idealist!
Our charmers and wizards were filled with awe at the thought of this noble patriarch. The scoundrel knew, however, what his filthy people had in mind for us! ” A World War!
“But Herzl was a Zionist,” I interjected.
“He was just another Jew!” he said, striking the table with his fist. “The word ˜Jew’ says it all.
Shylock
There is no need for any further distinction! “God’s chosen people” want to have their own “Holy Land” again. Catch that: “again”! Neither were the Jews ever “God’s people” nor did they live in a “Holy” Land!
Every portrayal back then ridiculed for its depravity that general state of affairs which existed for some six hundred years in Palestine, till the Assyrian Empire put an end to their mischief. Can you call that a country?
Can’t one accept the Old Testament as the authority on the matter?
First, we read of the uninterrupted murders and plunderings of the other peoples of Palestine, which, naturally, took many years.
Then right up to the last, with the most abominable vileness, one state of anarchy followed another.
The pinnacle, the flowering, the glory of Jewish statesmanship, namely, King David, was such a rascal that even the unprecedented villainy of the letter condemning Uriah was not enough for him; on his deathbed he urged his son to murder his old war comrade, Joab.
NN: In our time many no longer “know their Bible,” but 100 years ago, when Eckart wrote this, many did. Hitler was referring to the truly shocking story of how King David ordered one of his own top soldiers to be killed so he could sleep with his wife, Bathsheba. [Now back to the text.]
“When the Persian emperor Cyrus crushed the Babylonians, who had deported all the Jews from Palestine, and gave the Jews permission to return there (thus leaving their Babylonian “captivity”) the overwhelming majority ignored Zion and remained in the immeasurably richer Babylonia. Completely content there, they continued their financial speculations and other activities.”
“Get this: In the year 1267,” I informed Hitler, “there were only two Jewish residents in Jerusalem. Up to the World War, the number of Jews in all Palestine had grown to only 12,000, (41) (41) Hauser, op. cit, pp. 484, 491 even though they had been free to return there since ancient times and certainly weren’t lacking in travel expense money. The remaining twenty or so millions — exactly how many is difficult to ascertain, since the Jews themselves do the counting — fatten themselves upon the sweat of others all over the world. It is hard to understand how tiny Palestine can hope to accommodate this enormous crowd.”
“That’s not necessary,” he retorted. “The point is that it is now official. Israel has remembered itself. Its chains are cast aside. The sun of a new God’s state rises over Zion. What an act! Finally liberated from bondage! Everyone is numbed with awe….. And meanwhile the Jews smirk ”
“They have already issued a resolution.” I wanted to continue.
“Yes indeed,” he cried, “if anywhere, this is where the cat jumps out of the bag! They will be citizens of the new Jewish state of Palestine, but at the same time they demand to keep complete rights of citizenship in whatever countries they choose to live in.’
1897 in Basel, Switzerland
Participant ticket
One must read that non plus ultra of arrogance twice, indeed, a hundred times, in order to be sure one isn’t dreaming.
Imagine instead: ˜The English are citizens of Great Britain. Each Englishman who chooses to live in Germany or France or Italy retains all his rights of English citizenship, but at the same time he has the complete rights of citizenship of the country in which he is living.’
Now ask yourself what a scream of indignation, not we or the French or the Italians, but the Jews themselves would raise if the English people had actually made such a resolution! The Pan-Jewish Congress, however, issued its resolution as categorically as a command.
NN: Hitler is addressing a major mental construct here: the notion that there is a Jewish people that has a right to live in Palestine, but at the same time to live in, and be citizens of, any other country on earth. Not even the proudest Italian-American would dream of asserting he has a right to demand Italian citizenship and live without a visa in Italy. Nor does he identify with Italy. He is instead a loyal American of Italian ancestry. But Jews have gotten us enured to the idea they have a right to be citizens of any country in the world — plus their own. And no other people has this right — or would even dream of claiming it.
[Back to Eckart]
“This assembly comprised representatives of all the Jews of the world, including the Zionists. Their intentions were, in short, that the Jews should stay where they were and that the new Zion should simply have the purpose, first, to strengthen their political backbone, second, to gratify their arrogance, and last but most important, to provide them a state where they could carry on their dirty business without fear of detection. I think we can form a pretty good idea of Jewish nationalism from that.”
“Okay. So they are neither nationalistic for the country they live in, nor international in terms of respecting other peoples,” I acknowledged. “What, then, is the category they fall into?”
“In terms of our customary concepts,” he shrugged, “it really can’t be defined.
It is a rank growth over the whole earth, sometimes advancing slowly, sometimes leaping ahead in great bounds. Everywhere it sucks voraciously at the lifeblood of the planet. What was in the beginning a swollen abundance will become in the end nothing but dried-up sap. Zionism is the visible, surface aspect. It is connected underground to the rest of the monstrous growth. And nowhere is there to be found a trace of determined, systematic opposition to this thing.”
[NN: Now Eckart indulges in a bit of sarcastic humor, dealing with the notion that the Jews who move to Palestine will somehow stop being predators, and become instead peaceful, quiet, farmers, roofers, and truckers, and go bowling on Saturday night.]
“One might say,” I laughed, “that the wolves have split themselves into two packs. It has been agreed that one of these shall abandon the land of the sheep in order to go live somewhere, quite among themselves, as pure vegetarians.”
Chapter IV
“There is one thing above all else which we must always keep in mind,” he tendered, “one thing of which we must always remind ourselves: the Jews are the “Great masters of the lie”!
One need only forget Schopenhauer’s words for an instant in order to begin slipping under the influence of their deceptions. To be sure, we also lie but, in the first place, not as a matter of habit and, in the second place, clumsily. Any really experienced judge of human nature is able to detect the lie of an Aryan, even a very shrewd one. Sherlock Holmes himself, however, would be at a loss when confronted with the Jewish cold-bloodedness in deception.
A Jew is only embarrassed when he inadvertently blurts out the truth. If he should happen to deliberately tell the truth, it is always with a mental reservation, thus making a lie even of the truth.”
“Indeed, Luther,” I replied, “said to the Jews: ˜You are not a German, but a deceiver, not a Frenchman, but a faker.’ (42) (42) Martin Luther, Von den Juden und ihren Liigen. Luther’s words rhyme perfectly in German: “Du bist nicht ein Deutscher, sondern ein Täuscher; nicht ein Welscher, sondern ein Fälscher.”[Translator]
luther-martin-on-the-jews-and-their-lies
His synonym for Jew was ˜liar’! ”
Luther died here in Eisleben, shortly after he attacked the Jews.
He is buried here in the Wittenberg Cathedral
That’s what everyone who knows them says of them.” he rejoined, “from the Pharaohs up to Goethe and our time. It has been said in every dead and living language: in Greek, Latin, Persian, Turkish, English, French, or what have you. One would hope that these universal condemnations, throughout the whole world, would give our charmers and wizards at least a little to think about. God forbid! Not even Christ was able to reach them. He stood there among the cringing Jewish rabble, his eyes flashing, the very image of scorn, and his words fell among them like whiplashes:
[NN: And here Eckart quotes from John 8:44, a verse which many white nationalists know, where Jesus publicly confronts the Jews’ leaders]
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
But to our charmers and wizards that means no more than the unintelligible stammering of a little child.”
“They delude themselves by believing that to be only a stern but well-meaning lecture of the Lord to his beloved people of Israel,” I underscored his irony.
“Christ,” he continued with a raised voice, “was never other than perfectly straightforward and frank. God, not to feel the fact that there two fundamentally different worlds opposed one another!
Now, going back to Palestine after the Babylonian captivity, “post-exilic,” as they say, meaning after the Exile, there was a great lower stratum of non-Jews who were ruled over by Jewish moneylenders, powerful through their usury.
One can read that in the book of Nehemiah (especially in chapter five — Ed.). Sombart says that it leaves absolutely nothing to be desired in the way of clarity. (44) (44) Sombart, op. cit., p. 371.
*** Nehemiah chapter 5: 1-12
Nehemiah (the Jewish governor of Palestine for the Persian emperor) Helps the Poor
5 Now the men and their wives raised a great outcry against their fellow Jews. 2 Some were saying, “We and our sons and daughters are numerous; in order for us to eat and stay alive, we must get grain.”
3 Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards and our homes to get grain during the famine.”
4 Still others were saying, “We have had to borrow money to pay the king’s tax on our fields and vineyards. 5 Although we are of the same flesh and blood as our fellow Jews and though our children are as good as theirs, yet we have to subject our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters have already been enslaved, but we are powerless, because our fields and our vineyards belong to others.”
6 When I heard their outcry and these charges, I was very angry. 7 I pondered them in my mind and then accused the nobles and officials. I told them, “You are charging your own people interest!” So I called together a large meeting to deal with them 8 and said: “As far as possible, we have bought back our fellow Jews who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your own people, only for them to be sold back to us!” They kept quiet, because they could find nothing to say.
9 So I continued, “What you are doing is not right. Shouldn’t you walk in the fear of our God to avoid the reproach of our Gentile enemies? 10 I and my brothers and my men are also lending the people money and grain. But let us stop charging interest! 11 Give back to them immediately their fields, vineyards, olive groves and houses, and also the interest you are charging them — one percent of the money, grain, new wine and olive oil.”
12 “We will give it back,” they said. “And we will not demand anything more from them. We will do as you say.”
***
The outstanding point is that the real population, composed of oppressed peasants, was of an entirely different race than the Hebrews. [NN: This is the explanation why they were charging them interest, which Jews are forbidden to do with their fellow Jews.]
And gradually the Jews forced their religion on them [NN: on those non-Jews to they were lending money and whose children they were enslaving if they could not repay the loans on time].
Christ himself growled about that:
15 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are (45) (45) Matthew 23:15.
Now for the Jews, Galilee, whence Jesus hailed, was the land of the Gentiles, whose population “lived in darkness,” as they impudently imagined. (46) (46) Matthew 4:15-16 says:
“Galilee of the Gentiles— 16 the people living in darkness.”
The Jewish leaders said: “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ John 1:46; and 52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.” (47) (47) John 7:52.

The Hebrews were so firmly convinced of the non-Jewish ancestry of Christ that they counted him among the especially hated Samaritans. (48) (48) John 8:48:
The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan — and you have a demon?”
Hitler concluded: “We need to live and learn! There are many more such examples [NN: that is, of the Jews’ nature, from their own Old Testament, and then from the New, which was the opposite nature of that of Christ.]
“One could hardly recommend a better policy than that which lets each man find salvation in his own fashion,” I stressed. “The tacit assumption in that policy, though, is that each man’s fashion should involve some sort of decent sentiment, some genuine belief, and not just a contemptible Phariseeism. This distinction should have been expressly emphasized long ago. It wasn’t, and the religion of the moneychanger has received the benefit of this misguided tolerance. Christ was not so tolerant. With a whip he put a stop to the business of the children of the devil, even though he had said, ˜Love your enemy’! ”
“Yes,” he replied, “but we must understand what Christ meant by ˜enemy.’ We can love an honorable and decent enemy, even a brutal one, who is frank and forthright in his enmity. And at the same time we can beware of him. But Christ never dreamed that we should love men whom no love whatever could dissuade from their implacable determination to poison us, body and soul. Indeed, he himself did not do that. On the contrary, he continued to strike with his whip as hard as he could. And the words that he flung with indignation into the faces of the rabble breathed of irreconcilability itself.
[NN: All this reminds me of my essay on “psychopaths,” who are consciously, deliberately evil, sadistic, unable to feel any remorse or repentance, and their nature can be neither cured or treated. One might call them “bad seed,” “born trouble,” and human devils. According to Martha Stout, PhD of the University of California, Berkeley, a one-time professor at Harvard Medical School, most psychopaths are not petty criminals or serial killers, but businessmen, lawyers, doctors, media moguls, financiers, and other ruthless but non-violent people who are out in society. Her most famous book, in fact, which was translated into eleven languages, was entitled “The Sociopath Next Door.”]
“To me,” Hitler said, “He acted very proudly in the founding of his religion. There was very little contradiction between his sermons and his deeds! Why, then, have the ˜pious’ never followed his example? They least of all. They mercilessly persecute even their decent adversaries — as a matter of fact, only their decent adversaries. Their eyes remain closed to the most cunning bunch of swindlers in existence.
The Bavarian People’s Party, for instance [NN: This party was like the Republican Party in the United States, or the Conservative or Tory Party in Britain], knows quite well that we are defending the Christian foundations of our nation without mental reservations.
They also know, however, that we can make no common cause with them as long as they adhere to their present policies.
And so they turned to the Jews, hoping to remain in power with the Jews’ help. They surprised themselves. Dripping with friendliness at first, the Jews turned on them murderously when they had gotten the upper hand.”
“Save the homeland/Vote Bavarian People’s Party”
“That was inevitable,” I agreed with him. “Fortunately, the Jews would not be able to provide us with that same sort of dreadful experience, for we do not betray and murder our own flesh and blood for the sales of profit, and never get involved with them.
So far as we are concerned, the Bavarian People’s Party could even remain in office, provided they clean the manure out of their pigsty and perceive the correctness of our views.
We are not willing to tear ourselves apart just for power.
But we want Germanism, we want genuine Christianity, we want order and propriety, and we want these things so firmly established that our children and grandchildren can remain satisfied with them.”
“They consider that impossible,” he said, “and therefore they consider our program nothing but empty phrases, of no more sincerity than the empty phrases with which they consciously try to peddle themselves to the people.
But our goals are not only possible, they are certain, even if we don’t attain them tomorrow. But first a beginning must be made. So far, never and nowhere has there been a truly social state.
Everywhere and always the upper crust has leaned much more strongly toward the principle, ˜what is yours, is mine,’ than to, ˜what is mine, is yours.’ These wise ones have only themselves to blame for the fact the lower stratum, full of rage, now is committing the same error [by voting communist].
The Jew is able to take advantage of both these groups. One of them makes him money, the other carries out his agenda. Therefore, we oppose them both. We will put an end to unfair privileges as well as to slavery.”
“Decidedly,” I replied. “Our front stands against both left and right. A strange situation; from two directions we must ward off attackers who also fight one another. The Reds scream at us as reactionaries, and to the reactionaries we are Bolsheviks.
From both sides the Jew directs the attack on us. The lower stratum doesn’t see him yet and, thus, hates us from sheer stupidity; the upper stratum sees him but thinks it can serve its own selfish purposes with him and thus, shoots us in the back more from unscrupulousness than stupidity.
One really needs a good deal of faith [NN: in our ultimate victory] under such circumstances in order to maintain one’s morale.”
“Which we have, God be thanked!” Hitler said, laughing, as he stretched himself.
“No words were spoken more directly to our hearts than Jesus’ command: “Be not afraid”! (49) (49) Matthew 28:10. And that command was supposed to have been said by a Jew? Those creatures of eternal fear? Crazy!”
pause
“Every time new and promising opportunities for meddling have arisen,” he brought out,” the Jew has been immediately involved. He has demonstrated an uncanny ability to sniff out, like a bloodhound, anything which was dangerous to him. Having found it, he uses all his cunning to get at it, to divert it, to change its nature, or, at least, to deflect its point from its goal.
Schopenhauer called the Jew ˜the dregs of mankind,’ ˜a beast,’ ˜the great master of the lie.’
How does the Jew respond? He establishes a Schopenhauer Society!
Likewise, the Kant Society in his work, in spite of the fact that, or, rather, because of the fact, that Kant summarily declared the Jewish people to be a “nation of swindlers”! (50)
(50) Immanuel Kant, Anthropologie in pragmatischer Hinsicht [ = Pragmatic Anthropology] (Königsberg, East Prussia, Germany 1798).
The same thing is true with the Goethe Society. ˜We tolerate no Jews among us,” said Goethe. (51) (51) Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre.
˜Their religion permits them to rob non-Jews,’ he wrote. (52) (52) Goethe, Das Jahrmarktfest zu Plundersweiler.
“This crafty race has one great principle: as long as order prevails, there is nothing to be gained,” he continued. (53) (53) Ibid. He categorically emphasized: “I refrain from all cooperation
with Jews — and with their accomplices.” (54) (54) Goethe, Tag- und Jahresfeste.
All in vain; the Jewish-dominated Goethe Society is still there. It would be there even if he himself had expressly forbidden such knavery.”
“With exactly the same right,” I interjected, “the two of us could join or form a Talmud Society. What impudence that would require! Inconceivable.”
“Not to the Jew,” he replied. “To him impudence has no meaning. He is only able to think in terms of advantage or disadvantage, of profit or loss. One must approach him with a different sort of measuring stick.”
“Our charmers and wizards,” I rejoined, “all fall for their trick. Goethe, Kant, Schopenhauer seem to be nothing but babblers to them [when they discuss the Jewish topic].”
“Ah, Goethe!” he interrupted contemptuously. “Not even the saintly Thomas Aquinas is able to reach these people. The great father of the Church has described in his writings our relationship with the Jews in terms of a voyage on a ship. The Jews, embarked on the same vessel with the Christians, play a characteristic role: while the Christians are occupied with sailing the ship, the Jews plunder the storeroom and bore holes in the hull. St. Thomas recommends that they should be relieved of their booty and chained to the rudder. What an atrocity! How un-Christian! Poor Jews! One can learn so much from them! At least, according to Drs. Heim and Schweyer. And so the world goes on, governed with the same wisdom as in the time of Joseph’s Pharaoh.”
“Namely, by statesmen,” I completed, “who are so busy ruling that they completely fail to notice that not they but others actually rule; by men like Tsar Nicholas II, who indulged himself in the same self-deception and got a bullet in the head for it.
As early as 1843 Benjamin Disraeli [NN: the Anglo-Jewish novelist and later prime minister, who had Queen Victoria wrapped around his little finger], gave us a hint of what we should expect there. “The mysterious Russian diplomacy is organized by Jews,” he boasted. Also, “the mighty revolution which is in the making in Germany is evolving entirely under the leadership of Jews.” (55)

“Most of our revolutions,” he said, “whether initially with desirable goals or not, have evolved under Jewish leadership.” The revolutions of vulgar predisposition were, for the most part, the work of Jews; and those with loftier tendencies were soon subverted into a darker course by Jews.
[NN: Now we see Hitler and Eckart venturing onto very dangerous ice in terms of the masses, especially in Catholic and Christian Bavaria.
For all their sincere admiration for Jesus, they have already now publicly rejected the Old Testament, and with it the entire Jewish culture and mindset which it inculcated into the Ancient Jews.
But now they begin attacking as well the so-called Apostle Paul, the so-called Saint Paul, a man who had worked for the Sanhedrin, the fiercely anti-Jesus governing senate of Judaism.
This Paul, whose real name was “Shaul,” or Saul, ironically would wrote more than half of the New Testament, and he basically took over Christianity from the disciples who had actually known and followed Jesus.
Saul also looked very semitic and very Jewish, according to ancient accounts, bald, stubby, and with one long eyebrow that crossed over his whole forehead. The depictions of him on the walls of the ancient Christian catacombs in Rome, where he was held under house arrest under Emperor Nero, show a very Jewish-looking man.
(Later)
This is in stark contrast to how Jesus Himself is depicted on the walls of the catacombs, namely with blond or light auburn hair and Aryan features.
And let it be noted that not only Paul, but also the legitimate Apostle Peter, was in Rome, and Peter had personally known Jesus from near the beginning of His ministry.
Peter was the one who also had a strong Galilean accent, like Jesus, and had been seen with Jesus. After Christ was arrested and was being tried for blasphemy by the Sanhedrin, he was the one who “three times before the rooster crowed,” as Jesus had predicted, had fearfully denied knowing him. So a man who knew Jesus extremely well was in Rome and influenced how Jesus was depicted on the walls of the catacombs by the earliest Christians in Rome.
My article at John de Nugent.com on Jesus’s Aryan appearance and on his roots in Gentile Galilee can shed further light on this matter of the semitic Paul versus the Aryan Jesus. Back to Eckart..]
In the case of the struggling young Christianity, for example, the Jews, quick as a flash, began hanging onto its coattails. Consider Paul, properly called Schaul, who was a rabbinical student. That Schaul first chose the Roman-sounding name, Saulus, and then had himself renamed Paulus gives cause for thought.
Still more, the fact that in the beginning he persecuted the fledgling Christian community with first-rate ferocity. I don’t know: mass murderers who later become saints — is that not too much of a marvel?
Indeed, the Jew Weininger supposed that Christ had also originally been a criminal. (56) (56) Otto Weininger, Geschlecht und Charakter (Vienna and Leipzig, 1903). But, my God, a Jew could say that a hundred times, and it still need not be true on that account.
“As a Jew, Paul certainly knew that of all the peoples of the world the Jews, first and foremost, needed their souls saved. “Go not to the Gentiles, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” demanded Christ. (57) (57) Matthew 10:5-6.
Paul ignored it. He went to the Greeks and the Romans and brought them his version of “Christianity.” It was a “Christianity” via which the Roman Empire became eventually unhinged. “All men are equal! Brotherhood! Pacifism! No more privileges!” And so the Jew triumphed.”
“I always think,” I spun the thread further, “of the admirable Herr Levine in the [newspaper] Berliner Lokalanzeiger.(58) (58) I.e., Berlin Advertiser, a Berlin newspaper. [Translator]
Herr Levine suddenly burst out one day, as if in rapture: “Only a Jew could have done that; could have, with Paul’s impudence, put himself in the middle of the Capitol and there expounded a doctrine which must bring about the utter ruin of the Roman Empire!”
That’s what the man said, and that is, word for word, what Levine uttered to us all; I still remember it perfectly.”
“It certainly hits the nail on the head,” Hitler rejoined. “It may be a long time yet before Christianity recovers from Paul.
Oh, what gullible souls we are! A Jew murders hundreds of Christians; suddenly he notices that the rest only become even more zealous; the well-known light dawns on him; he pretends to be converted, throws himself into the great pose, and behold: even though he deviates in nearly all his doctrines from the other apostles, we listen devoutly to his sermons.
The simple teachings of the Master, which the most childlike mind might comprehend, we must have “explained” to us by a Hebrew.”
“The Jew,” I replied, “certainly must be tempted to say, “But why are you so stupid that you let everyone make fools of you?”
And there are many charmers and wizards who, on account of his extraordinary cunning, or ˜spirituality’ as they call it, look upon Saul with timid admiration.”
“If it depended on mere possessions,” he returned, “they would be justified. Someone named Goldstein once boasted that the Jews administer the spiritual property of the German people. (59) (59) Moritz Goldstein, Kunstwart, March, 1912. A pity that he didn’t add how they administer it.
“Well, let us be thankful that there will always be men who, for example, will read Goethe through the eyes of Goethe and not through the slimy spectacles of Goldstein. They may not be professors, but perhaps wanderers of a sort. A breed, anyway, which will not become extinct and through which the original Goethe will be safely preserved. The Jews can then quietly ˜administer’ the new Goethe. It will not be begrudged them.” (60) (60)
One is reminded here of what has happened to Wagner in recent years. If Eckart could have foreseen how Wagner’s immortal operas would be someday perverted at Bayreuth, he would have been far more distressed than he was over Jewish “interpretations” of Goethe’s writing. [Translator]
“Suppose, however,” I interjected anxiously, “the ˜wanderers’ also listen credulously to the Jews and fall into their trap?”
“It lies in the nature of the ˜wanderer,'” he laughed, “to have a heart so full that it matters not how his head happens to be persuaded; it will always be his heart that determines the outcome. They feel intuitively that which the clever, despite their understanding, are not able to see. And they preserve it. One may deceive their heads, but not even they have authority over their spirit.”
