Readers of "The Lord of the Reich", "The Lord of the Six Million" and "Volkisch Hobbits" may feel that the author of these odious comparisons is libeling the memory of a literary genius. Not at all. J. R. R. Tolkien held precisely the views outlined in these comparison pieces. [ He gets a very sympathetic write up at The Generosity Of Tolkien - Editor ] Tolkien was a man of his times, as are all men. Anyone who doubts Tolkien's true intellectual position need look, not merely at the indisputable evidence of Tolkien's own political and philosophical comments, but also the intellectual milieu of the between the wars English upper classes. At the end of the "Great War" with Germany the English world empire faced a new menace-the ominous Bolshevik regime of communist Russia. Everyone in England knew who was behind it, the Jews. It was the fright mania of the English press for two years-1919-1921. No subject, not even the dictated peace treaty with Germany, was of greater concern. The editor of the Morning Post, Mr. H.A. Gwynne, published a book The Cause of World Unrest, arguing explicitly the Jewish responsibility for the world revolution erupting from Moscow-and warning English Jews to dissociate themselves from it. The renowned Winston Churchill in his famous Illustrated Sunday Herald essay of February 8,1920 entitled Zionism Versus Bolshevism: A Struggle For The Soul Of The Jewish People issued much the same warning. The English Foreign Office resonated with warnings from its agents and newspaper correspondents in the field about the Jewish agitation behind communism in Russia and elsewhere. Good examples would be the reports of Robert Wilton, the London Times correspondent in Moscow, the reports of General Ironside in Siberia and the dispatches of agent Paul Dukes, author of Red Dusk and the Morrow.  Foreign diplomats, such as the American David Francis and the Dutch ambassador, Oudendyke, provided the same information. J.R.R. Tolkien grew up and matured in the midst of all this.
 
Like many Englishmen of the day he knew the menace of communism-and knew who was behind it. The Jewish financing of communism was also well known. The participation of Mr. Jacob Schiff in New York, of Mr. Olaf Achsberg in Sweden and Mr. Israel Lazarevitch Helphand in Russia in financing communism was common knowledge. The English empire at that very time, 1919-1921, was being manipulated into supporting a Jewish "national homeland" in Palestine with emigrants pouring into the Holy Land from the revolutionary areas in Russia. All this was known to Tolkien-and he feared the very real threat to his beloved England which these Jews represented. Tolkien was certainly not alone in these fears, as we have noted. The Mitford sisters, Unity and Diana, showed the same fears-and joined the extremely prevalent faction in English society which viewed the new leader of the late German enemy, Adolf Hitler, as the salvation of Europe from the common Jewish peril. The press lords, Viscount Rothermere and Lord Northcliffe of the London Times also shared these views, although Northcliffe was probably assassinated by the Zionists while vacationing in France to silence a series of articles he had planned to run in the Times opposing Zionism in Palestine. Numerous English lords and members of Parliament, such as M.P. Ramsey and Lord Islington, opposed Jewish and Zionist intrigue.
 
J.R.R. Tolkien conceived his "Lord of the Rings" and began writing it in the time of Adolf Hitler and the build up to the Second World War. It is absolutely inconceivable that Tolkien did not write his allegory without taking note of the events of his day and their breath taking geopolitical implications-not to mention the ominous political events of his youth. Tolkien also must have known full well, as an Oxford professor and man of letters, what other English authors of like mind were writing at the same time. Thus, he must have known of the very Catholic-and very anti-Semitic Hillaire Belloc [ In fact that assumption is not justified - Editor ]-and of his famous book The Jews. He would have been aware of Belloc's distaste for both communism and capitalism-and of the influence of the Jews in both. He must have known of it-since he shared it-Belloc's fondness for the simple, agrarian life. Tolkien must also have known of John Buchan's novel The Thirty Nine Steps, with its plot of a world wide Jewish conspiracy to destroy the English empire, (The latter aspect of the novel was deleted, one suspects in deference to the usual sensibilities, when Alfred Hitchcock translated the story to the screen.) And, surely, Tolkien would have noticed the wrings of Henry Ford in his Dearborn Independent, the anti-Semitic passages in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and the numerous anti-Semitic passages and characters in the early novels of his fellow countryman, Graham Greene. When one considers this intellectual ferment of the 1920's and 1930's with the known facts of J.R.R. Tolkien's political activities and then evaluates his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy with this background, there can be absolutely no doubt of Tolkien's true colors.
 
The "Lord of The Rings" is, indisputably, a tale of heroic white warfare against the forces of evil. That is what made the movies so wildly popular when they came out. It is also what caused certain critics to denounce them as "racist" and offensive to the sensibilities of minorities nowhere represented. The "orks", in particular, were resented as possibly representing the blacks and other races locked in eternal warfare with the white race. There can be no doubt that these critics were right. J.R.R. Tolkien knew exactly what he was writing with "The Lord of The Rings". It is time that matinee goers realize explicitly what they may have guessed implicitly while watching the movies.

These views were normal just after the Bolshevik Revolution but now the propaganda machine has hidden the truth from later generations and fed us the sad, so very sad Holocaust® story.

 

The Cause of World Unrest - H.A. Gwynne
QUOTE
When the American publisher George Haven Putnam originally published "The Cause of World Unrest" in 1920, he soon after sent "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" to press as a companion book. But before the book was able to join "The Cause of World Unrest" on the shelves, pressure was brought to bear on Putnam from the Anti-Defamation League to abandon the book. Putnam gave in and also had all unsold copies of "The Cause of World Unrest" recalled; sighting that all other publishers who had previously published "The Protocols" had financial difficulties soon after and that he was not willing to take the risk. The message contained in "The Cause of World Unrest", coupled with "The Protocols," may give us some understanding of why the ADL (a Zionist propaganda arm of the NWO) was so adamant about keeping this information from both honorable Jews and Gentiles alike.

You can see for yourself what Mr Gwynne had to say by going to the full text of "The cause of world unrest;"

 

Another View
Some one consciously of the left looks at various books and tells us that they incite fascism. He is certainly wrong about Starship Troopers and Lord of the Rings. For real authoritarianism one looks to the Bolsheviks but he would not.
