Telemachus Thomas Timayenis
The American Jew: An Exposé of His Career (1888)
Notes and highlights from the book:
'We have been requested by many prominent men in literary, financial, and commercial circles, to establish a monthly publication, to be called “ The Anti-Semite.”'
"They were bound together, not only by the ties of common religion, but by those of common misfortune; for they had suffered persecution at the hands of the Russians, which persecution, however, they fully merited."
"They attracted unusual attention by their hooked noses, restless eyes, elongated ears, square nails, flat feet, round knees, and soft hands. Myriads of parasites could be seen by the naked eye, nestling upon their dirty heads. They wore long coats dripping with filth..."
"Wherever the Jew is allowed to establish himself, dishonesty takes the place of honesty; immorality, of virtue; disease, of health; sluttishness, of cleanliness; anarchy, of order."
"He is now carrying out his work of deterioration and destruction in the United States. From the time when the Jew first appeared upon the face of the earth, to this day, history does not record a single invention that can be claimed by the Jews."
"They established petty stores, stocked with an insignificant amount of cheap goods, insured far beyond their actual value, and shortly afterward set fire to them, collected the insurance, and repeated this crime from time to time throughout the country. Thus they grew rich."
"It has been said that the Jews despise manual labor. Who has ever heard of a Jew miner? Still, no sooner is the mining-camp established than it is followed by Jew vampires, who rob the sturdy miner of his hard‑earned wages, by every kind of deceit."
HOW WE MAY KNOW HIM.
A fascinating portrait of America towards the end of the 19th century, and description of the prevailing social attitudes, society and culture, well worth researching further.
"a Greek-American named Telemachus Timayenis (1853-1918)..."
The New York Times praised him as “inventive on his own account, and ready to carry out the thoughts of others.”
He taught Rockefeller's children.
"Enter one of these frightful tenements given over to the sons and daughters of Israel, and the nostrils are instantly assailed on the very threshold by fearful stenches, which can best be compared to the odor arising from vegetables in a highly advanced state of decomposition."
“I vos an honest sheeny man. I geef you cent per centvalue for your monish,’’ is an expression frequently to be heard. An “ honest sheeny." Just think of it!
"The men and the women alike are so subject to body-lice, that it is not safe to occupy a bed in which they have slept, or even to bathe on the same seashore as that upon which they have disported."
Lice again!
American delousing of immigrants:
"They were fleeing from the Jews as one flees from the pestilence. Can it be wondered at that the summer-hotel keeper sternly waves the Jew away, and refuses to take him within his doors?"
"opportunities for double-dealing, treachery, wholesale despoiling, rascality, misrepresentation, and deceit, the Jew feels happy and thoroughly at home.
The two leading lusts of the Jew’s life are lechery and money. In Wall Street, men think, care, talk of nothing, but money..."
"Research will show that all the railroads, all the public schemes, all the enterprises, of which the Jews have had the handling and secured control, have sooner or later come to grief under more or less shady circumstances, but always, of course, with profit to the Jew..."
Read this chapter in full by L.B. Woolfolk, published about the same time:
"THE tobacco and cigar trade has passed almost entirely into the hands of the Jews. It is safe to assert that 90% of the capital at present invested in the trade is Jew capital."
"The squalor, misery, and dirt existing in these tenement cigar-factories, and the evils arising from the system in general, have again and again been described by the newspapers of the metropolis."
"The Jew vote has come to be recognized as a very important factor in practical politics... it is voted in its full strength, for any candidate of Jewish blood, or who represents Jewish interests... his vote is cast for the candidates of his race, regardless of what party..."
"Tammany Hall fully recognizes this fact, and that is the reason why in the past few years no Tammany ticket has been put forward without having the names of two or more Jew candidates upon it."
"In view of past history, and the growing prominence of the Jew in official life, is it not time that the American people gave some serious thought and attention to the Jew in politics?"
"NEXT to his lust for money the strongest passion in the Jew is his licentiousness. This, like every other vicious trait of which the Jew is possessed, takes a peculiarly prominent and objectionable form."
'known as “street mashers,” are Israelites... Jew “mashers” are daily seen strutting up and down the leading streets, ogling, with amazing efirontery, every woman who passes by. Young girls of tender age are especially marked by these Jew “ mashers ” as their particular prey.'
"A quick and efficacious way to get rid of the Jew masher is to throw him a little money. It will engross his attention, and secure a release from his importunities."
"In many of the factories operated by the Jews throughout the country, the life of an honest girl therein employed is made simply a hell, by reason of the Jews’ predominant lechery."
This was before Leo Frank:
"in New York, the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children neatly trapped a Jew employer who was in the habit of inducing little girls under fourteen to remain after work-hours, and debauching them."
"...last but not least, of Jew sneak-thieves, and receivers of stolen goods. This last occupation, in particular, is one in especial favor with the Jew. There is little physical risk, which just suits his cowardly temperament; the profit is large..."
"the most despised position under the city government is that of hangman. In New York, in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant the public executioner has always been a Jew. Whenever a vacancy occurs in the office of hangman, there is invariably a long list of Jew applicants"
"The records of the New-York fire-marshal’s oflfice show that a large percentage of the persons arrested for arson are Hebrews, and that two-thirds of the fires yearly occurring in the city of New Yo rk are in buildings occupied by Jews."
The examples of crimes from this chapter is almost too long to elucidate. Countless arsonists doing insurance jobs.
"He will betray his employer, lie, cheat, steal, bear false witness, kill, commit the most atrocious acts of incendiarism, for money."
"The real cause of the persecution of the Hebrew race in Russia is found in the fact that almost the whole of the peasants’ holdings, and the most considerable portion of the landed estates throughout the country, are heavily mortgaged to Jewish bankers and Jewish money-lenders."
"Let not the high-sounding names of Jew financiers gull any one into the belief that honesty and respectability are theirs."
'THE petroleum business in the United States is virtually in the hands of one man in whose veins there unquestionably flows ”Semitic blood, as was demonstrated in “The Original Mr. Jacobs."'
'Speaking of the millionnaire “king,” it may not be out of place to give a brief account of the prominent Jew millionnaires among us.'
"Who is to blame for this material success of the Jew? The unsuspecting, the generous Aryan. Jew? The unsuspecting, the generous Aryan. Do our readers know that in what is called “the sweating business,” ‐ a business controlled by the Jews..."
"Remember, by encouraging the Jew in business you indirectly promote vice, degrade womanhood, and dwarf the business prosperity of the country."
"With the Jew the practice of the law is not a profession; it is not a science; nor does it even, in his eyes, attain to the dignity of an art. It is to him simply a trade. It is only a means by which he hopes to wring dollars from his unfortunate clients..."
"And thus often actions are commenced, not because any one has sutfered a wrong, but in order that a Jew lawyer may earn or extort a fee from one side or the other, plaintiff or defendant, it matters not which."
"The Jews being essentially a commercial race, it is in the domain of commercial law that the Jew lawyer finds a large field for his activity. Here his inherent dishonesty finds ample room for exercise and development..."
"The Jew should only be permitted to obey the law. He should have no share or part in making, expounding, or administering it, in an Aryan government. For that he is unfitted by nature, by instinct, and by his practices."
"NOT even among the blindest of the heathen, have such base, low, grovelling superstitions and dogmas been discovered, as these accursed Jews have forged for themselves since the dispersion, and collected in the Talmud."
Many verified quotes from the hate-filled Talmud...
. ..from a religious or simply human standpoint, and the one conclusion is arrived at, that-the Jew is a vampire feeding on the blood of Christians, and that the Jew is the sworn enemy of the Gentiles."
"The Jew is an enemy of our country, of our laws, habits, institutions,‐of every thing founded upon Christian doctrines \& principles. No one familiar with Jewish history \& traditions can deny this. Only he who is ignorant of the inner life of the Jews, may shrug \& disbelieve."
He writes pages in excruciating detail about the barbaric ritual circumcision... some reader deliberately damaged pages...
"If any Jew who has embraced or professed Christianity wishes to return to Judaism, and to be again acknowledged by his brethren, he must lie down with his face to the earth on the threshold of the synagogue..."
The author then describes across several pages various hideous, vile and disgusting rituals around life events we are all familiar with, and of course death.
"It is high time for the people of this country to arouse themselves, and to realize what it has cost them to welcome to this home of the Aryan race the disgusting pariahs of Israel."
"Our newspapers are full of them. Weird spectacle, indeed, these sons of Israel seeking to mould public opinion!"
"As in times of old, so at the present day, usurers, malefactors, counterfeiters, thieves, mainly spring from the ranks of Israel. Examine the career of Jews in London, Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg, or in the U.S. \& you will not fail to discover the truth of this declaration."
"the God of the Christians lives in heaven, where all the beautiful and noble actions of devotedness, abnegation, humanity, and disinterestedness receive an eternal reward. Hence our ideas of God are diametrically opposed to those entertained in Israel as to its God."
The conclusion from page 196 to the end is just incredible, powerful and damning, recommend all read it in full and contemplate how such words were ignored and yet still be so relevant to today. I will just include a few highlights hereon from it.
"The sons of our Eastern settlers, and our kindred from Scandinavia and Germany and England and Ire‑ land,went out in families and in groups to the Far West, where they cleared the forest, built cities..."
"The Jew is a pestilence \& danger in every Christian community: he fattens on misfortunes of the individual; on imperfection of social laws, which imperfection he does best to perpetuate ; by acting as receiver of stolen goods; \&, above all, on wars \& other national calamities."
"Shall America be further invaded by these degraded people, longing to be emancipated from toil, that they may share with their more prosperous brethren in the plenty of the Gentiles, whom God has given over into their hands?"
"They come with no friendly acknowledgment for hospitable reception: they come to prey on us; and, knowing that, no sane people should let them in."
"He has no sympathy with the people among whom he seeks asylum... He sees in the Christians only hated foes, who despise him while he is poor, but are ready to bow down to him when he has accumulated wealth, ‐- an alien, hated race whom his God has given over to him for a spoil."
"Let there be no angry denunciation, no unseemly haste, no injustice, but calm, deliberate, and firm resolve. By our silence we gave sanction to their settlement among us... Let them go with all their ill‐gotten gain, and let us forget that it was ill gotten ‐ but let them go."
