Wikipedia’s List of American Jew Bankers Is Enlightening, by Andrew Anglin
Wikipedia has a very useful list of “American” Jew bankers.
It’s useful in the sense of “wow, look at how long this list is – wow, this is really, really a very long list.”
Now: imagine that these are only the people famous enough to have a Wikipedia page.
Imagine, if you will, that this kind of overrepresentation is at every level of banking.
Then, imagine: they tell you to think it is because the Catholic Church forced them to do usury. Hundreds of years later, they still control the banks.
In a supposed democratic meritocracy.
I’m going to copy the full list, because I have a feeling someone is going to request this be taken down, and it’s important we keep a record of it.
