"The International Jew" Study Hour - Episode 67
Oct. 3, 3013
Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 62, "How Jews Gained American Liquor Control."
Jews usually constitute the liquor dealers in countries where they live in numbers. In the United States in 1916, 60% of the distilling and wholesale trade was in the hands of Jews, and they ruined the distilling of fine spirits. We learn in this chapter:
- Jews were exempt from Prohibition for “religious reasons” to the amount of 10 gallons per individual per year;
- A concoction of drugs and spirits, colored and flavored, was fraudulently labeled “whiskey” and served in bars and bottles;
- What used to take 4 to 9 years of “aging in wood” was now being created in two to three hours and “blended” for taste and smell – in effect stealing the good name of “whiskey” for a synthetic poison;
- Cincinnati OH, Pittsburgh PA, and Peoria IL were major centers where Jewish distilleries operated;
- The “conspiracy” was the plan to sweep the good and bad brands into one common management of a dishonest kind of liquor.
