PART OF A REPLY TO A COMPLAINT IN A JEWISH NEWSPAPER IN THE UNITED STATES about “anti-Semitism” in the media of Sweden and Lithuania:–

Dear Sir,

First of all I would like to laud you for an exhaustive and well-prepared site. You have certainly gone through the Jewish question thoroughly before compiling your observations and analysis. Reading your This week’s Jewish News as usual today there was one piece of news that made my face wreathed in smiles.

The piece of news concerned how the Jewish community of Lithuania accused LNK television for anti-Semitism.

Well, the far too familiar irony is that the LNK, as stated in the article is owned by the Bonnier family, based in my country of origin, Sweden. Worth mentioning then is that the Bonniers are Jewish themselves. Bonnier is a taken name; originally the family was named Hirschel. Not only is the Bonnier family Jewish and not only do they own LNK, but they are the far most influential media group in Sweden and in Finland.

Of the seven largest daily newspapers in Sweden, the seven with a daily circulation of over 100,000, the Bonnier family owns four, Dagens Nyheter (the Daily News), Expressen (the Express), Sydsvenska Dagbladet (the Southern Swedish Daily News) and Dagens Industri (the Industry of Today).

Last week we drew attention to the report, casually mentioned by a Dantzig Chronicler of the year 1469, that the German merchant (den deutschen Kaufmann) had a hand in our “Wars of the loses. Strange! And yet perhaps no more strange than to suggest that the German merchant of to-day has a hand in the Rebellion in Ireland and Bolshevism in Russia (and in England). When Rathenau, the greatest commercial magnate in Germany, signs a Treaty with Lenin, we are told that the nation and the Prime Minister are of the material of shipping — timber, resin, pitch. Mercatores de regno Alemanie, “find it commonly translated,” The Society of German Merchants of the Holy Roman Empire.” They were a great confederation of some seventy German cities, chiefly Lubeck, Dantzic, Bremen, Hamburg and Cologne. These merchants traded on the principle of “touch one, touch all,” and had a navigation law of their own shortly ex- pi-eased in the phrase, “Hanse goods in Hanse ships.” In the Baltic they had almost a monopoly

When Ivrassin (an old employee of Rathenau) came to England as representative of Lenin, it did not occur to the Prime Minister or the British nation to put two and two together. Nor did it occur to them to read Mr. Edgar Sisson’s Report, which states (and proves) that the Russian Communists (falsely called Russian and falsely called Communist) were in the pay of German capitalism. To people who neither read nor can interpret evidence, everything comes as a surprise.

Here is one of the advantages of the study of history. If we know that the German merchant had a share in the Mediaeval Bolshevism of the Wars of the Roses, we learn to expect him in the Bolshevism of to-day. And so it may help us a little in our modern affairs to go back even so far as Warwick, the King-Maker. But who, let us first .discover, were those German merchants? And why did they take a hand in the Wars of the Roses? Let us see.

The German merchants of the Middle Ages were organised in what is vaguely and inaccurately called the Hanseatic League. A Hanse was, in fact, a league or company of merchants, and there was an English Hanse as well as a German Hanse. The German Hanse called itself in State documents “Mercatores de Hansa Alemannia,”

THE AUTHORS OR EDITORS ARE ANONYMOUS. A prosecution against Jane Birdwood was (as far as I’ve been able to determine) dropped, with the probably bogus claim that she was senile or otherwise mentally impaired, leaving the document’s copyright status uncertain—it seems to be in a legal limbo. It’s reproduced below without any omissions or interpolations (including note references, so there are no links back to the top of the page). The paragraphing and bold and italic typefaces are exactly as in the original—or, if they aren’t, that’s my mistake.
I’m told the material on Darwin in the appendix was included at the request of a friend of Birdwood’s.
According to recent newspaper obituaries, Joan Pollock Graham, after RADA and adopting the name ‘Jane’ to avoid confusion with a radio actress, and working as a secretary or organiser, met Lieutenant Colonel the Hon Christopher Birdwood in 1947, in Germany, where he worked with the British Red Cross. He was married, but Joan/Jane seems to have ousted his wife by going to live with him in London two or three years later. He died in 1962; she died on June 28th 2000, aged 87, which reminded me that I had a copy of this pamphlet. The Times obituary says: ‘.. In 1991 she was tried at the Old Bailey on ten charges under the 1986 Public Order Act.. found guilty on all ten counts, given a three-month suspended prison sentence, and ordered to pay £500 towards prosecution costs. [sic] .. She continued distributing crazed pamphlets with titles such as “The Longest Hatred” and “The Snides of March”, was prosecuted again, and given a second suspended jail sentence. ..’ The Times failed to mention her third prosecution, beginning 5th Jan 1998, which seems to have been dropped when she refused to undertake to discontinue her publishing.
