Most, like my father&#8217;s family, were poor.

The Jews would &#8220;administer the oppression&#8221; of the masses. In return, the governing class would force ordinary Jews to obey their &#8220;leaders.&#8221; Sometimes a pogrom would do the trick.<\/h5>\n<h5>The &#8220;Jewish&#8221; position was always strongest when the governing class was most oppressive, and when there was least national feeling.<\/h5>\n<h5>Today, specific Jews (in finance, government, education and especially the media) play a prominent role in the elite&#8217;s preparation for &#8220;globalization,&#8221; which is a modern form of feudalism. Once again, &#8220;anti Semitism&#8221; is used to mobilize Jews (and Christians) to support\u00a0this nefarious agenda.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>THE BITTER TRUTH<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrymakow.com\/000258.html\">Continues \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until roughly 1880, the most important Jewish function &#8220;was to mediate the oppression of the peasants on behalf of the nobility and the Crown.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-193992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Hidden_and_Revisionist_History","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=193992"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":194003,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193992\/revisions\/194003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=193992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=193992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=193992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
