The Jewish Press


As I continue to make my way through Douglas Reed's "The Controversy of Zion", I was struck by this following observation of his that is as true now as when he finished writing that book in 1956:
Debate and comment are largely free in the Jewish press, which is intended chiefly for perusal "among ourselves", and the newspaper-reader, anywhere in the world, who takes the pains regularly to obtain Jewish newspapers of all opinions will find himself much better informed about what goes on in the world. The black-out is in the non-Jewish press.
This is a fact that I only recently discovered for myself when I realised that those few alt-media personalities, who actually speak out about Zionism and Israel, were often quoting from Israeli publications such as Haaretz, The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel and others. These publications are not shy in drawing attention to and discussing what is going in Israel and elsewhere in the world, even if it is critical of the Jewish state. So much so, that one learns a lot about anti-Zionist and anti-Israel activity around that world that, as Douglas Reed says, does not find its way into the non-Jewish press.

Of course only the English-language online newspapers are accessible to me so I'm looking here in more detail at the major Israel-based ones. These are:

The Times of Israel

The Times of Israel is an Israel-based, primarily English-language online newspaper launched in 2012. It was co-founded by journalist David Horovitz, who is also the founding editor, and American hedge fund manager Seth Klarman. It covers "developments in Israel, the Middle East and around the Jewish world." Along with its original English-language site, The Times of Israel publishes in Arabic, French and Persian editions. On May 1, 2019, it launched a Hebrew news site, Zman Yisrael. In addition to publishing news reports and analysis, the website hosts a multi-author blog platform. In February 2014, two years after its launch, The Times of Israel claimed a readership of 2 million. In 2017, readership increased to 3.5 million unique monthly users. Source

The Jerusalem Post

The Jerusalem Post is a broadsheet newspaper based in Jerusalem, founded in 1932 during the British Mandate of Palestine by Gershon Agron as The Palestine Post. In 1950, it changed its name to The Jerusalem Post. In 2004, the paper was bought by Mirkaei Tikshoret, a diversified Israeli media firm controlled by investor Eli Azur. In April 2014, Azur acquired the newspaper Maariv. The newspaper is published in English and French editions. Formerly regarded as left-wing, the paper underwent a noticeable shift to the right in the late 1980s. From 2004, under then editor-in-chief David Horovitz, the paper took a more centrist position, competing against the staunchly left-liberal Haaretz. Its former editor Steve Linde aimed to provide balanced coverage of the news along with views from across the political spectrum. In April 2016, Linde stepped down as editor-in-chief and was replaced by Yaakov Katz, a former military reporter for the paper who previously served as an adviser to Education and Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett.

Israel National News

Arutz Sheva (Hebrew: ערוץ 7, lit. Channel 7), also known in English as Israel National News, is an Israeli media network identifying with Religious Zionism. It offers online news articles in Hebrew, English, and Russian, as well as live streaming radio, video and free podcasts. It also publishes a weekly newspaper, B'Sheva, with the third-largest weekend circulation in the country. Source

Haaretz

Haaretz (Hebrew: הָאָרֶץ‎) (lit. "The Land [of Israel]", originally Ḥadashot Ha'aretz – Hebrew: חַדְשׁוֹת הָאָרֶץ‎, IPA: [χadaˈʃot haˈʔaʁets] – "News of the Land [of Israel]" in English The Palestine News) is an Israeli newspaper. It was founded in 1918, making it the longest running newspaper currently in print in Israel, and is now published in both Hebrew and English in the Berliner format. The English edition is published and sold together with the International New York Times. Both Hebrew and English editions can be read on the Internet. In North America, it is published as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. It is known for its left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues. As of 2016, the newspaper had a weekday exposure rate of 3.9% in Israel. According to the Center for Research Libraries, among Israel's daily newspapers, "Haaretz is considered the most influential and respected for both its news coverage and its commentary." Source

Of course, these are the online versions of hard copy newspapers. As well as these, there are plenty of other websites providing information about Israel, such as:

Ynetnews

Ynetnews is the English-language edition of Ynet, Israel's largest and most popular news and content website. Founded in 2005, Ynetnews is part of the prominent Yedioth Media Group, which publishes Yedioth Ahronoth – Israel's most widely-read daily newspaper – as well as several popular magazines and dozens of local publications. As such, Ynetnews is committed to the same professional standards and unwavering journalistic ethics as Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth, as well as to being an authoritative, accurate and fast source of online news and content. Ynetnews is designed to give its readers a holisitic news experience, covering both the Israeli and international arenas. It offers its readers up-to-the-minute breaking news, world-class news reporting and in-depth commentary, with a focus on Israel, the Jewish World and the Middle East.  

 i24news

International 24-hour news and current affairs television channel located in Tel Aviv.
There are probably many more but these of course are all mainstream and decidedly pro-Israel so one can't hope for objective reporting but, as Douglas Reed said, one is likely to find more "debate and comment" upon controversial issues and less of the "black-out" that exists in the non-Jewish press.

Wind Turbine Syndrome

Figure 1: cartoon from 2012 New Scientist article
With our puppet masters pushing for investment in renewable energy sources, wind turbines are big business and so any suggestions that their infrasonic emissions might be undermining the health of people and animals living in their vicinity is not likely to be well received.

Predictably, the mainstream media is dismissive. Figure 1 shows a cartoon from a 2012 New Scientist article titled The sickening truth about wind farm syndrome. The cartoon reflects the tone of the article. The author of the article, a certain Simon Chapman, begins thus:
There are several reasons to suspect that the unrecognised entity of wind turbine syndrome is psychogenic: a “communicated” disease spread by anti-wind interest groups, sometimes with connections to fossil fuel interests. People can worry themselves sick.
He then goes on in this "unsympathetic" vein. In partnership with Fiona Crichton, he published a book in November of 2017 titled Wind Turbine Syndrome: A Communicated Disease. Clearly, he has not softened his position in the years following his New Scientist article. In a 2018 article to the Journal & Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, he says:
The history of social panics over new technology shows they have a natural history. There are doubtless a few people left who still fear television sets and microwave ovens. The heyday of fearing cell phone towers came and went in the 1990s. Wind-farm anxiety is now thankfully rapidly receding, with the desultory complaint volumes submitted to the Wind Commissioner showing the phenomenon has all but passed. But the delays this panic caused in driving Australian renewable energy harvesting were major. Our book’s final chapter explores lessons in how we might avoid the next wave of modern health worries.
So we can avoid "the next wave of modern health worries", like 5G cellular networks, by not succumbing to this type of "communicated disease". How do we do that? Well, simply believe it when big business and big government assure you that the technology is safe. They have our best interests at heart, don't they? It's not hard to dislike this guy. His ad hominem attacks on the anti-wind interest groups include accusations of "connections to fossil fuel interests", hostility to change and susceptibility to social panic. I can't resist including this further quote from his article:
New technology has a long history of attracting prolonged, impassioned and often crackpot attacks from those both fearful of and hostile toward mephistophilean artifice that offends the existing order of things.  
The real issue is not wind turbines but the infrasound that they emit. Another source of infrasound emissions derive from ventilation fans in mines. To present the other side of the argument, namely that infrasound can be injurious to health, this 2018 presentation by Dr. Mariana Alves Pereira is quite persuasive.


It's the people living close to these mine ventilation shafts and wind turbines that really need to be listened to. Here's a description of the effects experienced by one family living near a mine in Lithgow, Australia (the author is Norman Allan):
The physical effects include a sense of pressure in the head or chest and throat, vertigo, nose bleeds, vomiting, anxiety induced heart palpitations and other symptoms normally associated with travel sickness like general nausea and include what can best be described as an “out of body” or “living in a fog” experience. These are compounded by a sense of anxiety developed from long term exposure and multiple forms of stress, such as continued muscle tension from instinctive efforts to resist intermittent or constant shaking. These symptoms are extremely distressing. Yet, over time, the acute episodic symptoms pale in comparison to relentless high amplitude noise on the edge of normal human hearing perception going on day after day. In any case, sleep disturbance has been ongoing and the effects of sleep deprivation alone have been debilitating. Source
In November of 2106, the Australian Government issued an Australian Government response to the Senate Select Committee on Wind Turbines: Final Report  in which some action and monitoring was proposed but how serious its committment will be remains to be seen. What was more interesting in the report were the responses of the opposition Labor Party (not the Liberal-National coalition government). Here's an extract:
Labor senators recommend that the Federal Government reassure the wind energy industry, which is both an important source of income and employment in rural areas and a vital means of abating Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, that it is not intent on preventing its further development based on unsubstantiated claims of negative health, environment and economic impacts. 
Labor Senators recommend that the Federal Government publicly acknowledge that:
•  wind farms are an important means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Australia’s electricity sector, thereby contributing to our greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals;
•  the health impacts of fossil fuel extraction and generation are acknowledged by the medical and scientific community;
•  there are no causal links between wind turbines and impacts on human health;
• the wind industry is a growing industry at a time when Australia’s manufacturing sector is undergoing significant change and downsizing and that it provides valuable employment opportunities in regional Australia; and
•  the continued growth of the renewable energy industry, including wind, is a positive thing or Australia’s economy and its environment.
This leaves little doubt that the Labor Party is firmly behind the wind energy industry but in truth nearly every government in the world will be leaning this way because of the massive investment and intense lobbying. Politicians know which way the wind is blowing and unfortunately for Norman Allan (whose experiences I quoted earlier) and others similarly affected, it's not blowing in their direction.

Living 1600 ft from a wind turbine is a video of couple talking about the experience of living close to wind turbines and mentioning the gag orders that wind energy companies have built into contracts to help ensure silence:


Down Wind is a much longer video about the impact of wind farms on the lives of communities living in rural Ontario. The liberal government there introduced legislation to ensure that wind turbines could be built even in the face of opposition from local councils. The dirty politics that the video exposes is being repeated worldwide. Electricity prices have soared and there has been no discernible benefits to the average home owner whether living in the city or the country. I realise now monstrous and ugly these wind turbines are. The proliferation of these structures will serve as another catalyst to moving people from the countryside to the cities where, having escaped constant bombardment from infrasound, they can enjoy constant bombardment from 5G frequencies.


Sufferers can draw some comfort however, because Donald Trump is in their corner. Trump is notoriously hostile to wind farms and tweeted the graphic shown in Figure 1 (that quickly went viral), thinking (wrongly) that it justified his hostility.

Figure 1

Perhaps it's better NOT to have Donald Trump's support. It's clear enough though that those who claim to be victims of infrasound will NOT have the support of:
  • BIG BUSINESS
  • BIG MEDIA
  • BIG GOVERNMENT
  • BIG MEDICINE
This is a global scam and things will be the same wherever you are. BIG BUSINESS will be downright hostile, BIG MEDIA will supply the propaganda, BIG GOVERNMENT will obfuscate and BIG MEDICINE will not receive any funding for studies into the matter. BIG PHARMA however, will be supportive by providing medication to alleviate the various physiological and psychological disturbances that are being experienced. Even when it seems the whole world has turned its back on you, BIG PHARMA will have your back.

ADDENDUM:

I couldn't help but include this article that appeared in Bloomberg today, the 27th of June 2019.

Bat-Killing Wind Turbines Outfitted With Systems to Stop Carnage
The wind farms that have proliferated across Texas in the past decade have done plenty to cut power-sector emissions. But with blades spinning at up to 100 miles-per-hour, they’ve been murderous for bats. Now Duke Energy Corp. is deploying technology to dissuade the creatures from flying headlong into their deaths. It uses ultrasound to block sonar bats use to navigate at night, prompting them to avoid areas around turbines. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based utility owner is using the “Bat Deterrent System” at installations in the Rio Grande Valley. It’s first time a company has commercially deployed the system, developed by ESCO Technologies Inc.’s NRG Systems, according to a statement Wednesday. A two-year study found it can reduce bat fatalities by 50%, Duke said.

So these wind turbines, as well as emitting infrasound and audible sound, will now be emitting ultrasound as well to ward off the bats. Another article explains why the blades are hazardous to the bats and an alternative approach to avoiding the carnage:
Wind turbines are an essential to our prospects of building a clean energy economy. Unfortunately, there's a lot of evidence out there that the turbines kill bats in alarming numbers--more than they do birds. And not in the gruesome manner you'd think--no high speed collisions with the blades--but in another gruesome way altogether. The sudden drop in air pressure around the turbines causes severe injuries to the bats' lungs, an affliction called barotrauma. Thankfully, scientists have come up with a way to reduce bat deaths around turbines by at least 60% without sacrificing any serious power generation from the turbines. And the solution seems overwhelming logical to me. Essentially, it's this: stop the blades from turning when it's not windy, because that's when bats are most likely to take flight.
The article just mentioned comes from treehugger and notice the article of faith that forms the first sentence of the previous quote: Wind turbines are an essential to our prospects of building a clean energy economy. Environmental groups have uncritically accepted the propaganda of the climate alarmists. See an earlier post of mine titled Students Strike for Climate Action for information about the clean energy economy scam.

Theodor Herzl: Victim of Talmudic Magic?

As I continue my reading of Douglas Reed's The Controversy of Zion, I'm grateful for the insights he provides into Zionism and its running mate, Communism. There is material in this book for many, many posts once I've completed it and, at which point, I'll probably start reading it again.

What caught my attention was this part of his comments on Herzl:
When he returned to address the Sixth Congress of his World Zionist Organization his fate rose to meet him in the form of a compact mass of Russian Jews no longer merely "humiliating" to him, but menacing. At this moment of his fiasco he thought he had the ace of trumps in his pocket and he produced it. As a result of those interviews in London and of the "irresistible pressure" which supported him, the British Government had offered Dr. Herzl of the Vienna Neue Freie Presse a territory in Africa, Uganda! 
Yet the trump card proved to be a deuce. 295 delegates voted to accept the offer, but 175 rejected it; clearly Dr. Herzl did not speak for "all Jews". The great majority of the 175 Noes came from the Jews of Russia. The huddled Jewish throngs there had hailed Herzl as the Messiah; these 175 emissaries of the Eastern rabbinate imprecated him, for Uganda meant the ruin of their plan. They cast themselves on the floor in the traditional attitude of mourning for the dead or for the destruction of the temple. One of them, a woman, called the world-famous Dr. Herzl "a traitor" and when he was gone tore down the map of Uganda from behind the speakers' dais. 
If what he said and wrote was fully candid, Dr. Herzl never understood why the Jewish emissaries from Russia refused to consider any other place than Palestine, and if that is so he must have been most guileless. He had built up his entire movement on the claim that "a place of refuge" was directly needed for "persecuted Jews", and these were the Jews of Russia; Jews were fully emancipated elsewhere. If that was true, then any good place would do, and he had now procured one for them; moreover, if any of them preferred to stay in Russia, and his negotiations with the Russian Government succeeded, they could have all they wanted in Russia too! 
From the point of view of the Talmudic rabbinate in Russia the matter was entirely different. They, too, had built up the legend of "persecution in Russia", while they worked against emancipation there, but this was for the purpose of fulfilling the ancient Law, which meant possession of Palestine and all subsequent things that the Law ordained. Acceptance of Uganda would have meant Doomsday for Talmudic Judaism. 
Dr. Weizmann describes Dr. Herzl's final humiliation. After the vote Herzl went to see the Jews from Russia, who had turned their backs on him and walked out, in their committee room. "He came in, looking haggard and exhausted. He was received in dead silence. Nobody rose from his seat to greet him, nobody applauded him when he ended. . . It was probably the first time that Herzl was thus received at any Zionist gathering: he, the idol of all Zionists". 
It was also the last time. Within the year Dr. Herzl was dead, at the age of forty-four. No conclusion can be offered about his death. Judaist writers refer to it in cryptic terms. The Jewish Encyclopaedia says it was the result of what he endured and other authorities make similarly obscure, though significant, allusions. Those who during the centuries have been the object of anathema or excommunication by the ruling sect often have died soon and wretchedly. The student comes to feel that in this matter he approaches mysterious things, closed to all ordinary research." 
 The closing part of this quote is most interesting and I'll reprint it below:
Those who during the centuries have been the object of anathema or excommunication by the ruling sect often have died soon and wretchedly. The student comes to feel that in this matter he approaches mysterious things, closed to all ordinary research.
What Reed doesn't mention here but which that "bastion of truth" (as James Corbett refers to Wikipedia) does is:
He married Julie Nachauer in 1889 and they had three children. However, all three had unhappy lives. His first daughter, Paulina, died in 1930 of a heroin overdone. His son, Hans, committed suicide at age 39 on the day of his sister's funeral. The youngest, Margaritha (Trude), died in a concentration camp in 1943. Theodor's only grandson, Stephan Theodor Neumann committed suicide in 1946 at age 28. He had been an active Zionist. 

Figure 1

Clearly we are in the realm of Talmudic and Babylonian magic which is why I've included the photograph shown in Figure 1 with its Assyrian symbols and Sepiroth. I don't know the provenance of the photo but here is the link to the February 2017 article in which it appeared, titled Judaism: Satanism, Sorcery and Black Magic on the website VETERAN TODAY Journal for the Clandestine Community

In the article, reference is made to a book by E. Michael Jones titled The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and its Impact on World History that looks like it may be interesting as Douglas Reed's book is proving to be. I've downloaded it from The Internet Archive, where it's available for free, and here is the link. Returning to the article, the following excerpt is of interest:
The Kabbalah (“reception”), is a series of books of magic and mysticism. The canon has not been strictly defined although the rabbinic consensus names the Zohar as the most important volume. Another book, Sefer Yetzirah is a guide to black magic in Judaism. Zoharic studies in English have been advanced exponentially by the recent publication of Daniel Matt’s uncensored translation* of all of the volumes traditionally associated with the Zohar. The descriptive term “Satanic” is overworked in this age of the Internet and “desktop” publishing. We do not propose to employ it casually or imprecisely. The Kabbalah is fundamentally Satanic in its theological orientation … The Kabbalah is attributed to the Rabbi Shimon ben Yoahi who wrote, “Even the best of the gentiles should all be killed.” Like the Talmud of Babylon, it is reputed to be derived form an Oral Law which God gave to Moses on Sinai in addition to the Written Law. 
* available for loan from https://archive.org/details/zohar00dani 

So black magic is certainly, though not exclusively, a part of Judaism and it would seem that the elders of the Ostjuden were particularly proficient in its execution (or maybe Herzl and his offspring were just plain unlucky). By the way, the term Ostjuden means "Eastern Jews", in German, and was the generic term for Yiddish speaking Jews from Eastern European countries that immigrated to Germany and Austria. Vienna as the capital of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy attracted immigrants from all parts of the Empire. Jews from Eastern Europe moved to Vienna during two immigration waves. Source.

See my earlier post on the Khazars where I write:
So it would seem that the Khazar hypothesis has been accepted even by the Israelis. The references at the beginning of my post to the Talmud and Babylon reminded me of two videos (Meet the Rothschilds' Bosses 1 and 2) that I watched recently that were posted by an Israeli woman named Doreen Dotan. This is the link to her YouTube channel. She claims that it was the Jews who stayed behind in Babylon, after their exile to that region, who are responsible for the Talmud and the worship of Babylonian deities. She claims this group and their descendants have perverted Judaism.

Myth Making

I'm indebted to James Corbett for enlightening me about the myth of the so-called "Tiananmen Square massacre". To quote from his Steemit post:
The official story of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, dutifully parroted every anniversary by any number of finger-wagging diplomats and TV talking heads, is that it was the culmination of weeks of student-led protests against the Chinese government, and, as the bastion of truthiness tells us, involved "troops with assault rifles and tanks fir[ing] at the demonstrators trying to block the military's advance towards Tiananmen Square." The incident resulted in the deaths of "several hundreds" of the protesters. Or, was it 2,600? Well, the Chinese government refuses to discuss the subject (or even allow it to be discussed in China), so I guess we'll never know. 
. . . or will we? It may surprise those who blindly trust whatever they hear on TV that in fact we have had evidence for the past eight years that whatever took place in Tiananmen Square that fateful night 30 years ago was not the wanton massacre we have been led to believe. And this is not from Chinese Communist Party mouthpieces, but from US and Chilean diplomats who witnessed the events themselves. Even James Miles, the BBC's Beijing correspondent at the time, wrote a mea culpa in 2009, admitting that his reporting had "conveyed the wrong impression" and that in fact "[t]here was no massacre on Tiananmen Square."
 I checked out his links and it is indeed so. It's amazing how myths take hold and are perpetuated by the media. As Corbett points out, there was bloodshed on the streets of Beijing and there was loss of life but there was no massacre in the square itself. He goes on to say in a later Steemit post:
... this US/China conflict is being stage-managed from behind the scenes. The upper rungs of the globalist ladder have carefully built up China to be the bogeyman for the 21st century in the way they built up the Soviets to be the bogeyman for the 20th century. But in order to get the public on board with this conflict, they need to present the public with a narrative that makes sense of this new, imminent, existential threat. And just as the threat of Islamic terrorism has filled that role for the last two decades, the threat of the ChiComs (read: the TechnocracyComs) is here to fill that role in the coming decades ...
This seems true enough but I'm surprised how easy it is to get caught up in the propaganda and accept a story as fact when it is myth. Corbett is an insightful commentator on world affairs and I have been following him since 2015. His major failing in my mind is his clearly deliberate avoidance of any mention of Israel as a villain in world affairs. He's done this to avoid having his channel taken down and in the light of recent YouTube moves that's not a bad idea. Yet, it seems basically dishonest to avoid any denunciation of this rogue state. Of course, I'm being a bit extreme in my own denunciation because he has made comments about Israel and Zionists but they are "few and far between". Considering that Zionism has been the ruling narrative of the 20th Century and remains so in this century, such reticence is disappointing.

Corbett has his own website at https://www.corbettreport.com and he has a series of videos called #PropagandaWatch that draws attention to the insidious nature of propaganda. They are well worth watching.

Douglas Reed and The Controversy of Zion

Douglas Reed 1895 - 1976

I was listening to Adam Green's latest YouTube upload in which he was quoting from Douglas Reed's The Controversy of Zion and so I thought I'd find out what Wikipedia said about him. The article was fairly brief so I'll quote it in full:
At the age of 13, Reed began working as an office boy, and at 19 a bank clerk. At the outbreak of the First World War he enlisted in the British Army. He transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, gaining a single kill in aerial combat and severely burning his face in a flying accident (Insanity Fair, 1938). Around 1921 he began working as a telephonist and clerk for The Times. At the age of 30, he became a sub-editor. In 1927 he became assistant correspondent in Berlin, later transferring to Vienna as chief central European correspondent. He went on to report from various European centres including Warsaw, Moscow, Prague, Athens, Sofia, Bucharest and Budapest. 
According to Reed, he resigned his job in protest against the appeasement of Hitler after the Munich Agreement of 1938. In Somewhere South of Suez: a further survey of the grand design of the Twentieth Century (1949), Reed wrote that his resignation came in response to press censorship which prevented him from fully reporting "the facts about Hitler and National Socialism." He believed that by becoming a "journalist without a newspaper," he would be free to write as he chose. 
His 1938 book Insanity Fair analysing the situation in pre-war Europe brought him worldwide fame. His next few books were also bestsellers. 
Reed spent the duration of the Second World War in England; in 1948, he moved to Durban, South Africa. In his 1951 book Far and Wide he wrote: "During the Second World War I noticed that the figures of Jewish losses, in places where war made verification impossible, were being irresponsibly inflated, and said so in a book. The process continued until the war's end when the figure of six millions was produced… No proof can be given". Reed was subsequently virtually banned by establishment publishers and booksellers, and his previous titles were often removed from library shelves. 
His career as a published author effectively over, Reed nevertheless spent several years, including in New York and Montreal, working on his magnum opus The Controversy Of Zion. Despite some initial discussions with a publisher, the manuscript was never submitted. 
In the 1960s Reed was outspoken in his opposition to the decolonization of Africa. In his The Battle for Rhodesia (1966) he explicitly compared decolonization to the above-mentioned appeasement of Hitler; he strongly supported Ian Smith's unilateral declaration of independence from the United Kingdom, arguing that Smith's Rhodesia had to be defended as "the last bulwark against the Third World War", just as Czechoslovakia should have been defended against Hitler in 1938. 
Reed died in Durban in 1976. Two years later The Controversy of Zion was finally brought to print, the manuscript having lain on top of a wardrobe in Reed's home for over two decades.
So, after his 1951 book, he was virtually banned by establishment publishers and booksellers, and his previous titles were often removed from library shelves. This is the price that an author pays for challenging Zionist statistics and similar to the fate that befell David Irving. I was able to track down The Controversy of Zion on the Internet Archive where it can be downloaded for free. 

From the same source, I also downloaded Far and Wide, the offending book that caused all the outrage. I'm surprised the ADL, the origin of which organisation is discussed in his books, hasn't forced their removal. Eventually it will probably succeed and to the extent that it does, it will mean that alternative history sources are just that little less available to future generations.  

Anyway, I've downloaded a copy for my Kindle and am interested in reading a book by such a courageous author. He wrote the book between 1951 and 1956 but, as revealed above, it wasn't published until 1978. Much has changed since the 1950's and not the better in terms of Zionist control of the levers of power. Somethings remain the same however and it's still professional suicide, whatever your profession, to be openly critical of the machinations of Zionism.

Even though I was a mathematics and information technology teacher in my day, I couldn't fail to notice the extent to which Zionist literature had infiltrated the English curricula of international educational organisations like the IB. Had I been an English teacher and hostile to the inclusion of these books in the curricula, I'm sure my career prospects in international education would have quickly stalled. Retirement at least removes career concerns arising from anti-Zionist activism.

I'm not uncritically supportive of all of Reed's views. For example, he was supportive of the policy of Apartheid in South Africa and it's ironic that Israel and its policies are now being compared to that country when it was an Apartheid state. Here's a link to a more detailed biographical essay of Douglas Reed by a Dane, Knud Eriksen (dated 3rd March 2007). I'm hoping that Reed's book will help give me the big picture of what's going on and why. As I research Zionism, I realise that most people don't have the motivation or the opportunity to delve into this matter and yet it is the hidden hand behind the major developments in 20th Century politics and finance. The 20th Century represents the triumph of Zionism.
