In the conspiracy community, it's often taken for granted that Wall Street secretly funded Nazi Germany and the Bolshevik Revolution. These assertions are taken as truth based on the work of a professor named Antony Sutton. But who was Sutton and what does it mean if he was wrong?

The Zionist community grew to hate him, viewing him as a traitor. One Dutch visitor observed a group of Jews spitting on the ground as he walked past.

Just over a hundred years ago, this situation ultimately and perhaps inevitably turned to violence.

‘We have noticed yesterday a large crowd of Jews carrying banners and over-running the streets shouting words which hurt the feeling and wound the soul.

Ziontology 6. Sixty Seven Words, The Balfour Declaration 25:06

The mere sixty seven words of the Balfour Declaration set in action the chain of events that led to the creation of the State of Israel thirty years later, and ultimately to the violence we are seeing in Gaza today. The question is why. Why, in the midst of a war, would the British Government take the time to promise a fringe group within the Jewis…

Ziontology 4. ‘Next year in Jerusalem’, Jewish Zionism 19:00

This is the situation early Zionists were faced with: both a long history of persecution and an immediate crisis. Theodore Herzl reasoned that whilst anti-Semitism showed no signs of abating in Russia, it was also likely to increase in the West, due to the influx of Jewish refugees. Integration had been tried for over a thousand years and failed. T…

Ziontology 3. ‘To stand against Israel is to stand against God’, Christian Zionism 29:45

29:45

The idea that the Jewish people should or would be restored to their homeland is not present in Christianity for its first fifteen hundred years. Both the Catholic and Orthodox churches saw the church itself as being a spiritual Israel, and that Jesus Christ had extended God’s covenant with the Jews to all people. This changed after the Reformation…

Ziontology 2. A Homeland for the Whos? 18:27

18:27

A Zionist account of history has it that, at some point in the past, the Jewish people were exiled from Judea and forced to settle across the world. This exile is believed to have taken place either as a consequence of the 1st and 2nd century revolts against the Romans, or as a result of the Arab Muslim conquest of the 7th century. The problem with…

The term Carthaginian Peace comes from Rome’s sacking of the city of Carthage, where they supposedly poured salt onto the land to ensure the North African city could never rise again.

The Other Naomi: A Review of Naomi Klein’s ‘Doppelganger’ 29:02

The book is called Doppelganger, because Naomi Klein considers Naomi Wolf to be hers. Apparently these two ladies are often conflated, but whereas Klein broadly supports government COVID policies, Wolf couldn’t be more opposed to them, seeing them as part of a nefarious plot to do away with civil liberties and introduce a bio-fascist regime.
