Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 50, “Jew Trades Link With World Revolution.”

The predominantly Russian Jews in New York City engaged in the garment trades were Bolshevik in character and aim. Russian Bolshevism literally came out of the east side of New York - Leon “Trotsky” Braunstein(right) was sent to Russia to overthrow the government there, when it was an ally of the United States. Many strange things were happening at this time:

• Most of the Garment Trades labor leaders were Russian Jews who emigrated to the U.S. around the age of 20, with a radical background;
• These men wanted to bring about a complete change of the social system, and the government;
• All these union men formed part of the New York Kehillah, which did not want Jews to become Americanized, but to change America to their own liking;
• Thus to practice “Americanism” was considered antisemitism – such as saying that Bolshevism in the United States was Jewish;
• A study showed that of 2000 presidents of Jewish organizations in NYC, 1054 were Russian-born, 536 born in Austro-Hungary, the rest in Roumania and Germany–90% foreign-born;
• Immigration inspectors at Ellis Island were also Jewish, and passports issued by the State Dept. went through the office of Jew Soviet Ambassador Charles Recht and his attorney ally Issac Hourwich.

Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott  read and comment on Chapter 48, “How the Jewish Song Trust Makes You Sing.”

Jews did not create the popular song, but they debased it. Before it became a Jewish industry, popular songs were created by individuals who worked for satisfaction, not the product of song factories whose goal was to “corner the market.” This chapter compares pre-1918 popular songs with Jewish jazz, an example of which was the self-proclaimed “King of Jazz” Joe Frisco (pictured right).

Another Jewish contribution was “The Vamp” – it started with Jew Morris Gest’s immoral theatre spectacle “Aphrodite.” Eddie Cantor, when singing Irving Berlin tunes, knew just how to roll his eyes at the suggestive parts of the lyrics to bring down the house, such as in You’d Be Surprised, about Johnny who wasn’t much in public, but when he got Mary home, or in any other private location, “you’d be surprised.”

The Music Publishers’ Association was organized by S. Silberman and M. Goodman, and eventually included all the Jewish song manufacturers. It still exists today.

Image: Joe “Frisco” Rooney (real name Louis Wilson Joseph) was a stuttering Jewish comedian whose jazz dance style named “Do the Frisco” was usually performed to the “Darktown Strutters Ball.”  He shuffled his feet, rolled his hips and contorted his body. Variety called it the “Jewish Charleston.”

Carolyn Yeager  and Hadding Scott read and comment on Chapter 46, “Jewish Degradation of American Baseball.”

Tonight’s chapter tells how Jewish entrance into  professional and major league baseball resulted in a general lowering into “show business” with  a gambling agenda dominant.  Sportsmanship gives way to money-money-money.  Some of the characters, good and bad, who are mentioned:

• Righteous Judge A.J. Landis of Chicago (right, center), who was picked by the Jews to become the one-man head of the National League in a plan to get him off the bench;
• Ban Johnson, autocratic head of the National Baseball Commission, was on the receiving end of many Jewish  “get Johnson” schemes;
• Harry Frazee, former burlesque house kingpin and prize fight fixer, bought the Boston American baseball club;
• The Ascher brothers, owners of a string of Chicago motion picture theaters, offered a million and a half dollars for the Chicago American League club.

Carolyn Yeager and Hadding Scott  read and comment on Chapter 44, “Are the Jews Victims or Persecutors?”

After finishing up Chapter 43 from last week, we begin another long chapter, number 44. It continues the theme of Jewish hatred and persecution of  Christianity in the United States, giving example after example.

• There is no Christian Church the Jews have not attacked,  from the Catholics to Christian Science;
• Jews continually attack the world-famous Passion Play at Oberammergau, calling it “vicious anti-semitism”;
• Their great historical enemy is Rome, to which they want to pit Jerusalem;
• Jews are especially bitter about Jewish conversions to Christianity;
• The Jews in their newspapers even castigated Presidents (Wilson and Taft), Vice-Presidents (Marshall) and other politicians (Wm. J. Bryan) for speaking favorably of Christ or Christians;
• Still, Jewish department store owners play up Christmas and Easter to make money and destroy the spiritual content;
• Some Jews predicted Protestant Christianity would become Jewish-in-spirit  by 1925.
