It would be wrong to imagine that the enemy propaganda was alone responsible for the anti-Prussian feeling. The unbelievable methods of our war organizers, who gathered—and swindled—the whole Empire into an absolutely mad system of centralization in Berlin, was a main cause of that anti-Prussian feeling.
The Jew was far too cunning not to realize then that the infamous campaign of plunder, which he was organizing against the German nation under the cloak of the War societies, was bound to arouse opposition. As long as it did not spring at his own throat he had no cause to be afraid. Thus it occurred to him that there could be no better method of averting a rising of the masses, driven to desperation and exasperation, than to let their rage flame up and spend itself in some other direction.
Then came the Revolution. The international Jew, Kurt Eisner, started to play Bavaria off against Prussia. In deliberately aiming the revolutionary movement in Bavaria against the rest of the Reich, he was not acting in the least from the point of view of Bavaria, but as one commissioned by Jewry to do so. He exploited the existing instincts and dis¬ likes of the Bavarian people, in order by their means to dismember Germany the more easily. The Reich, once laid in ruins, would have fallen an easy prey to Bolshevism.
The art of the Bolshevist agitators, in representing the advance of the contingents of liberation to put an end to the Communistic Republics as a victory of Prussian militarism over the anti-militarist and anti-Prussian elements, bore rich fruits. Whereas, at the time of the Elections for the Bavarian Legislative Assembly, Kurt Eisner had not 10,000 followers in Munich and the Communist Party had under 3,000; after the collapse of the Communistic Republic the two Parties fused together and numbered nearly 100,000.
