Tolkien’s Failed Quest

(Before It's News)

by E. Michael Jones, Ph.D.

Alfred North Whitehead once noted that “All of Western philosophy is but a footnote to Plato.”

After reading E. Michael Jones’ magnum opus The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit in 2009, I can say that much of my writing is a direct or indirect reference to many of Jones’ work.

By the time I finished reading The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit, I realized that I needed to do some very serious rethinking.

At first, I regarded the book as an uniformed criticism of Judaism by a writer who felt threatened by it. But the book got me interested and led me to other things. I also checked many of Jones’ sources to see whether he was just making things up. He was not.

After months of intense reading other works on the subject, I suddenly realized that there was more to the “Jewish Question” than meets the eye and ear.

Jones has lived up to his reputation and has been a light in the culture war. This current article is bound to spark thoughtful debate. Make sure reason is on your side before you dismiss the argument presented here. Jonas E. Alexis

Toward the end of September 1931, while on one of his periodic recuperative cruises on the high seas, Montagu Norman, head of the Bank of England, received a cable from his American counterpart, George Harrison, Benjamin Strong’s successor as head of the Federal Reserve System, asking Norman whether he could shed any light on “the sudden drop in Sterling.”[1]

Norman wrote back that he could not explain the drop, largely because—although he did not mention this in the cable—he had been absent from his post at the bank since July 28, when he left the Bank “feeling queer.”[2]

Shortly thereafter, Norman received another more cryptic note announcing that the “Old Lady goes off on Monday.”[3] The old lady in question was the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street or the Bank of England, and it referred to the imminent abandonment of the gold standard, but Norman mistakenly thought it referred to his mother going on holiday.
