malinterpreta al tildarlo de poderes que ni él ni ningún otro pobre mortal podrían ejercer jamás.
Así se nos pide que creamos que esta conmoción política formaba parte de una conspiración altamente organizada de siglos de antigüedad, cuyos agentes eran millones de seres humanos, todos comprometidos con la destrucción de nuestra sociedad y actuando en perfecta disciplina bajo unos pocos líderes de una sabiduría sobrehumana.
La cuestión es un disparate a primera vista. Los hombres no tienen capacidad para actuar de este modo. Son demasiado limitados, demasiado diversos.
Moreover, the motive is completely lacking. Why merely destroy and why, if your object is merely to destroy, manifest such wide differences in your aims? One may say justly that there is always a tendency to reaction against alien surroundings, and in so far as that reaction is intense and effective it is destructive of those surroundings. One may point out that such reaction in the case of the Jews, as in the case of all other alien bodies, is in the main unconscious and instinctive. All that is true enough; but the conception of a vast age-long plot, culminating in the contemporary Russian affair, will not hold water, any more than will the corresponding hallucination which led men to believe that the French revolution (a thing utterly different in kind from the Russian) was the mere outward expression of a strictly disciplined secret body. In the case of the French Revolution everything was put down (by the forerunners of to-day's Anti-Semitic enthusiasts) to the secret agency of The Order of Templars acting unweariedly through six centuries, and finally bringing down the French monarchy.
