The assimilated Jews were even willing to change their Sabbath to
Sunday, in order to conform. They were prospering by conforming.

But the Ashkenazim were religious fundamentalists who had been
persecuted in Russia and Poland for their stubborn ways. The
Ashkenazim would have nothing to do with change.

The Ashkenazim arrived in America with the attitude that the world was
broken and that it was their duty to *fix* it.

The Ashkenazim hoped to create Israel in New York! That's why Emma
Lazarus welcomed all *exiles* to America. Emma Lazarus wrote the
famous poem about "The New Colossus" which is inscribed on the base of
the statue of Liberty.

Americans need to know what "The Jewish Question" was for the Tsar of
Russia.

The Jewish Question was, "what can be done to make these stiff-necked,
stubborn Jews into obedient Russian citizens?"

The answer was, "Nothing." Jewish anarchists murdered the Tsar by
throwing a bomb at him.

Russian Jews were isolated from the Russian peasants, who despised
them. Half of all the Jews left Russia and most of them came to
America to avoid the perceived persecutions.

The Ashkenazim wanted to lived according to Jewish law and govern
themselves independantly just as they had done in eastern Europe.

The Askenazim described themselves as "a righteous people in a
righteous land".

IOW, they were bigger pains-in-the-ass than the Puritans of colonial
Boston. The Puritans thought that they were building Zion in the
wilderness, so they identified with the ancient Israelites who invaded
Canaan and murdered and enslaved the Canaanites.

The Ashkenazim *expected* to be persecuted by their Gentile neighbors,
just as they had been persecuted in eastern Europe.

So, when Leo Frank, the Jewish owner of a pencil factory in Atlanta
was lynched for the murder of a young White girl, the Jews formed the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith to defend the arrogant Jews
against this imagined persecution.

Jews love to argue, it's a hobby for them. They learned to argue
trivial points of theology in their Yeshiva schools, so it was natural
for Jews to become lawyers.

Within 40 years of the Ashkenazi invasion of New York, Jewish lawyers
were beginning to invade the legal profession in great numbers and
they even had a Jewish supreme court justice by 1916.

The Jews also gained control of the newspapers in New York. Winston
Churchill's
father-in-law was a Jew who owned half the New York Times.

Henry Ford tried to point all this out in his book about "The
International Jew", but
Jewish financiers had control of his credit, so he was forced to
apologize...

Wherever *money* is changing hands, there you will find Jews taking
their cut.

So the Jews moved eastward into Russian territory where they were
restricted to an area called "The Pale of Settlement".

Russian authorities didn't want the stubborn Jews to mingle with their
obedient compliant peasants, who were basically slaves.

The Russian authorities definitely didn't want the Jews to move into
Moscow, they knew exactly what would happen if the Jews started
businesses there.

Mediterranean traders often lost their ships and cargos due to storms
at sea, and they didn't want to risk losing their gold and silver as
well, so they didn't send it at all.

Instead, they sent a Jew with a letter of credit stating that this or
that Shylock in a seaport had a bank of gold or silver to pay for
cargos.

It made more sense to have a Jew drown in a storm than to risk sending
the actual treasure across the sea, and so maritime commerce advanced.

But Jewish banking is as old as Jerusalem...

The Jews set up their money changing benches in the temple of Herod in
Jerusalem and Jesus scourged them out of the temple.

But the money changing benches didn't disappear with the temple when
the Romans pulled it down.

No, there were money changing benches in the market places of all the
European cities that allowed Jews to ply their money-worshipping
trade.

Amschel Rothschild was a German Jew who is the father of the infamous
house of Rothschild.

The Rothschilds financed European wars and the American Revolution,
but congress never repaid their American agent.

After the French Revolution, the Rothschilds and their associated
Jewish banking families were well on their way to controlling the
finances of England.

Rich Jews went to England and bought titles of nobility or married
their daughters into noble families. Europeans visiting England were
amazed at how many Jews had noble titles.

By the end of the 19th century, the Rothschilds controlled half the
money in the world and Baron Rothschild got the idea that he would
*buy* all the land in Palestine the Turks would sell him.

But it was "no deal", the Jews had to wait another half century to
create Zion by illegal immigration and insurgency...

Easy.

(A) The Jews were literate, reasonably honest, and could both add and
subtract: talents that the common "white folks" of that time and place
did not usually bother with or respect.

(B) The Jews were easy for Royalty to shake down if they looked as if
they might be getting a bit too rich or too powerful: just declare a
pogrom, confiscate all their worldly goods, and deport them to start
all over in another country. Maybe hang a few as a sop to the racist
scum who -like you- hated and feared anyone who was in the least way
different -or "better" as they saw it- from themselves. (I.E.
ignorant, filthy, diseased, and utterly despicable.)

1. Jews were increasingly shut out of other occupations
through restrictions placed upon them by the ruling
authorities, generally at the urging of the church, while
at the same time,

2. The Church issued strict prohibitions against its
members lending money at interest.

It is also of great importance to note that traditionally,
it was the JEWS who were prohibited, by their own teachings
and law, from lending money at interest; it was only when
the restrictions were placed upon them as noted in (1),
and they could not legally engage in other means of earning
a living, that the rabbis relaxed this restriction (at least in
dealing with Gentiles).  The alternative would have been to
let their people starve for lack of any ability to earn an
income, through strict enforcement of these traditional laws.

As usual, Krusty remembers only those bits of history which
support his own prejudices.
