Whether the first statement is true remains to be seen; the others are demonstrably true. The gold in the ground and the gold that is money is under Jewish control, and they withdraw it when they will.
The stupid so-called “Gentile” says, “Why should they withdraw it? They cannot make any money that way!” Once again remember the distinction: it is not a matter of “making” money but of “getting” it; panics are more quickly profitable than is a long period of prosperity for men whose commodity is money. Indeed, men who deal in money as a commodity and on the Jewish plan, lose their prestige if prosperity continues too long.

No intelligent person will attempt to explain such events on the ground of natural law or of honest practice. These things occurred in this
