Among the theories of the anti -Semitic conspiracy one of the most widespread is, without doubt, the accusation, aimed at Jews, of checking the media to converge public opinion to one’s interests. The theory is to connect to the other accusations, according to which, Jews would control American and international finance, also placing themselves as a heavy strength of influence in the world political and economic scene.

nineteenth century [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

The emancipation of the Jews in the 19th century “allowed them to possess lands, enter the civil service and serve as officers in the national armed forces. It created the impression to some – in particular to those who felt left behind, traumatized by change or unable to achieve professional satisfaction and economic security according to their expectations – that the Jews were replacing the non -Jews in the professions traditionally reserved for Christians. He also created for some the impression that, at the same time, the Jews were overpassed in the Professions oriented towards the future of the end of the 19th century: finance, bank, trade, industry, medicine, law, journalism, art, music, literature and theater ” [5] . Journalism was therefore one of the first objectives of the theories of the conspiracy artificially unleashed against the Jews.

The accusation was among the main contents of the Savi Savi protocols [6] And he was resumed and deepened by the publications of the Learbon Independent of Henry Ford in the United States during the 1920s.

First half of the twentieth century [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

During the 1920s, Dearborn Independent, a newspaper owned by the entrepreneur Henry Ford, began a series of publications focused on the alleged influence that Jews had in American society, in particular in journalism and cinema. [7] Much of the material, including the accusations of media control, drew inspiration from the protocols of the Savi di Zion, and were later republished in the form of a book: The international Jew . [8] However, in 1927 before, and in 1942 later, Ford apologized to the community of American Jews for the damage that the campaign of his newspaper could have created. [9]

According to the ADL reports, The international Jew It continues to be published today in the United States by Liberty Bell Publicactions. [ten]

Today [ change | Modifica Wikitesto ]

According to the data reported by the historian Robert Michael for his book A Concise History of American Antisemitism , at a 2002 survey, 48 million Americans would have replied that they believe that “the Jews control the media”. [11]

In July 2010, the director Oliver Stone, already in the past in the center of controversy for his statements on Hitler, declared during an interview with the Sunday Times concerning his intentions for the realization of a film on the Holocaust, who would have it Developed by “Jewish overwhelming power in the world of media”, saying that “they [Jews] are always on top of any comment, they are the most powerful lobby that acts in Washington. Israel has fuck American foreign policy for years ». On the other hand, in addition to the complaints of Jewish organizations, the ADL replied that “its conspiracy theories are anti -Semitic and its words feed the stereotype of the illegitimate power held by the Jews”. Some time later, the director apologized by saying he misunderstood himself about his thoughts. [twelfth] [13]

    “Thus the Dearborn Independent, week after week, presented the Jewish conspiracy to destroy Christian civilization as Jews embarked on their relentless pursuit of power. And it presented a successful pursuit: Jews allegedly had already ascended to a dominant role in … the media.”
    • Representative quote from the Dearborn Independent: “The motion picture influence of the United States – and Canada – is exclusively under the control, moral and financial, of the Jewish manipulators of the public mind… the picture business, on its commercial side, is Jewish through and through… This ill-concealed propaganda of the Jewish movie picture control is also directed against non-Jewish religions. You never saw a Jewish rabbi depicted on the screen in any but a most honorable attitude. He is clothed with all the dignity of his office and he is made as impressive as can be. Christian clergymen, as any movie fan will readily recall, were subjected to all sorts of misrepresentation, from the comic to the criminal. Now, this attitude is distinctly Jewish. Like many unlabeled influences in our life, whose sources lead back to Jewish groups, the object is to break down as far as possible all respectful or considerate thought about the clergy.” The Dearborn Independent, 19 February 1921
    • Gabler, p 277:
    Gabler quotes the Dearborn Independent: “Jew-controlled not only in spots, not 50 percent merely, but entirely; with the natural consequences that now the world is in arms against the trivializing and demoralizing influences of that form of entertainment as presently managed…. As soon as the Jews gained control of the ‘movies’, we had a movie problem, the consequences of which are not yet visible. It is the genius of that race to create problems of a moral character in whatever business they achieve a majority.”

    “Ford charged the ‘International Jew’ with a string of intrigues, from bringing the United States into World War I, to manipulating American business and finance for their own ends, to corrupting Anglo-Saxon virtues through their control of Hollywood and the music industry.”
