Spilling the Beans
By Richard D. Fuerle on November 13, 2008
An ad for this book says the author "was cheated by a group of fellow Jews" and "got even by 'spilling the beans' about Jewish business practices." The book does not deal with international bankers, but with "ordinary" Jews the author had the misfortune to have dealings with. He had assumed that, as a Jew himself, he would be well-treated by other Jews, perhaps with discounts or other favors, but instead he is treated the same as a non-Jew. His victimization turned him into an anti-Semitic Jew, who considers Jews to be parasites on non-Jews; he even calls Judaism a "moral gonorrhea" and explains the reluctance of the Jews to proselytize as not being due to their respect for the religions of others, but out of the conviction that Jews will inherit the earth and they want "as few claimants as possible."
In their dealings with him and with others, Jews looked after themselves first; he gives many examples of them following the saying, "Leolom Tickach" (always take). As employees, they worked for their own success, not the success of their employer's business. Manual labor was avoided as shameful, but any occupation where the product was intellectual, and it was difficult to assess its value, such as the professions, was favored. As businessmen, they were loan sharks and swindlers and, as lawyers, they bribed, perjured, overcharged, and drew out legal proceedings to extract as much money from their clients as possible. The physicians were worse, insisting on unnecessary X-rays and treatments so as to maximize fees.
But the Broadway producers were the most despicable. They had access to young, beautiful, Gentile girls who were desperate to achieve fame, an ideal situation for breaking the girls into prostitution and pimping them across the globe. They did have some principles, however; refusing to do this with Jewish girls.
The prayer Kol Nidre during Yom Kippur particularly incenses the author. In essence, it relieves the supplicant of the obligation to adhere to any oaths, promises, or the like that he will make during the coming year, a sort of license to deceive. The justification for this is that the only obligation he has is to God, and therefore if he assumes any other obligations, and they do not benefit God, he is assuring God that he will not consider himself bound by them. The person to whom the obligation is incurred is not informed of this, however, and he alone determines whether or not an obligation benefits God.
The author's experiences certainly make interesting reading and it is hard not to feel sorry for him. It is unfortunate that he encountered so many disreputable Jews, but surely not all Jews are like the ones he describes. The fact that his tormentors were Jewish may be in part due to the fact that he is Jewish and was more likely to encounter other Jews. From personal experience, I can also say that some of the practices he describes are not confined to Jews. As an attorney, I know there are many Gentile attorneys who lack scruples. A favorite practice is to tell a client that he may either pay by the hour at a high rate or pay a third of any money recovered, and half if it goes to court. He hints that a lot of work may be involved, so the client takes the percentage deal; the attorney then writes one simple letter, usually to an insurance company, and collects his one third fee on what can be a huge amount of money.
The author's position, however, is that dishonorable practices are much more common among Jews than among the general population. He fears that Jews will continue the practices until Gentiles get fed up and violently retaliate, as has happened many times before. So, one might say that despite his anger at, and hatred of, his fellow Jews, he still has their best interests at heart.
