Knowledge of Jewish power and machinations high in the Asian world - Books on the Jewish Question are bestsellers

Organized Jewry exhibits much less control over the media and important societal institutions in the far east. Therefore, there is free and open public discussion of the reality of the power of Organized Jewry, and books and literature on the subject are bestsellers. This is true in Korea, Japan, China, Indonesia, etc. The same is true, of course, in Middle Eastern nations such as Iran and Pakistan.

Thus, the most important nations in the non-Western world, including virtually all of the Middle Eastern and Asian world, are vigorously debating and very knowledgeable of the power of international Jewry. And yet the Jewish-controlled Western media would have us believe (as in the garbage piece below) that this belief of Jewish power has absolutely no basis in reality, and is just all the work of some mass hysteria and inexplicable "blind hatred" for Jews on the part of "foaming at the mouth conspiracy theorists and anti-semites."

Asia's Jewish myths

The Australian | Ian Buruma | February 11, 2009

A CHINESE bestseller titled The Currency War describes how Jews are planning to rule the world by manipulating the international financial system. The book is reportedly read in the highest government circles. If so, this does not bode well for the international financial system, which relies on well-informed Chinese to help it recover from the present crisis.

Such conspiracy theories are not rare in Asia. Japanese readers have shown a healthy appetite over the years for books such as To Watch Jews is to See the World Clearly, The Next Ten Years: How to Get an Inside View of the Jewish Protocols and I'd Like to Apologise to the Japanese - A Jewish Elder's Confession (written by a Japanese author, of course, under the made-up name of Mordecai Mose). All these books are variations of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Russian forgery first published in 1903, which the Japanese came across after defeating the tsar's army in 1905.

The Chinese picked up many modern Western ideas from the Japanese. Perhaps this is how Jewish conspiracy theories were passed on as well. But Southeast Asians are not immune to this kind of nonsense either. Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamed has said that "the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them." And a recent article in a leading business magazine in The Philippines explained how Jews had always controlled the countries they lived in, including the US today.

In the case of Mahathir, a twisted kind of Muslim solidarity is probably at work. But, unlike European or Russian anti-Semitism, the Asian variety has no religious roots. No Chinese or Japanese has blamed Jews for killing their holy men or believed that their children's blood ended up in Passover matzos. In fact, few Chinese, Japanese, Malaysians, or Filipinos have ever seen a Jew, unless they have spent time abroad.

So what explains the remarkable appeal of Jewish conspiracy theories in Asia? The answer must be partly political. Conspiracy theories thrive in relatively closed societies, where free access to news is limited and freedom of inquiry curtailed. Japan is no longer such a closed society, yet even people with a short history of democracy are prone to believe that they are victims of unseen forces. Precisely because Jews are relatively unknown, therefore mysterious, and in some way associated with the West, they become an obvious fixture of anti-Western paranoia.
