"More than a century had passed since Ferdinand and Isabel had expelled the Jews from Spain. The people of the Peninsula were beginning to pay the price for that 'purging,' as it was called. It was not the price imagined by so many sentimental historians. Spain was not being ruined, as schoolchildren have been told, because the Jews took away their gold and their astute commercial minds. For the number of Jews who left, probably not over 160,000, it is now generally agreed, was small compared to those who remained in the country as Marranos, baptized Catholics, some sincere, other secretly observing the rites of Judaism. These latter kept their wealth and power, made new contacts, remained in communication with the more courageous Jews who were scattered throughout Europe...Wherever it worked it strove, as in past times, to destroy...Christianity. Where it could not openly attack, it endeavored to undermine and weaken the structure...In short, no panacea had ever healed the Jewish aversion (hatred) to Christianity, and ended the acts and policies that logically flowed therefrom, save pure undiluted Christianity itself. Saints like Vincent Ferrer had caused the genuine assimilation of thousands of Jews who enriched the Spanish mind and culture with a new vitality and dept; and to such an extent that Pope Adrian VI could speak of the whole Spanish nation as 'the Jews.' But the politicians with their expedients and compromises had left in the unconverted Jewish heart a natural human bitterness, with a thirst for revenge and a greater determination not to examine the claims of the Church." (Philip II, William Thomas Walsh, pp. 90- 91).

"'The Jewish Establishment": 'In the early 1930s, Wlater Duranty of the New York Times was in Moscow, covering Joe Stalin the way Joe Stalin wanted to be covered. To maintain favor and access, he expressly denied that there was famine in Ukraine even while millions of Ukrainian Christians were being starved into submission. For his work Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. To this day, the Times remains the most magisterial and respectable of American newspapers. How imagine that a major newspaper had had a correspondent in Berlin during roughly the same period who hobnobbed with Hitler, portrayed him in a flattering light, and denied that Jews were being mistreated, thereby not only concealing, but materially assisting the regime's persecution. Would that paper's respectability have been unimpaired several decades later? There you have an epitome of what is lamely called 'media bias.' The Western supporters of Stalin haven't just been excused; they have received the halo of victim hood for the campaign, in what liberals call 'the McCarthy era,' to get them out of the government, the education system, and respectable society itself. Not only persecution of Jews but any critical mention of Jewish power in the media and politics is roundly condemned as 'anti-Semitism.' But there isn't even a term of opprobrium for participation in the mass murders of Christians. Liberals still don't censure the Communist attempt to extirpate Christianity from Soviet Russia and its empire, and for good reason, liberals themselves, particularly Jewish liberals, are still trying to uproot Christianity from America. It's permissible to discuss the power of every other group, from the Black Muslims to the Christian Right, but the much greater power of the Jewish establishment is off-limits. That, in fact, is the chief measure of its power: its ability to impose its own taboos while tearing down the taboos of others, you might almost say its prerogative of offending. You can read articles in Jewish-controlled publications from the Times to Commentary blaming Christianity for the Holocaust or accusing Pope Pius XII of indifference to it, but don't look for articles in any major publication that wants to stay in business examining the Jewish role in Communism and liberalism, however temperately." (The Jewish Establishment, Joseph Sobran, September 1995 issue).
