The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History (2008) by Eugene Michael Jones

The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History

Summary:

Spanning over 2,000 years, this study looks at the complex relationship between Jewish and Catholic thought from a social and historical perspective. Examining different significant moments for both religions throughout the centuries, this book analyzes and explains the conflicts that have arisen between the two religions since their beginnings.

Excerpts from Reviews:

“… to the mortification of decent Jews like myself, Jews are often on the vanguard when it comes to trashing Christian mores and human dignity, and creating dysfunction whether its undermining gender and marriage or peddling promiscuity, pornography or abortion. … Organized Jewry has sought to portray man as inhabiting a mechanistic universe devoid of inherent design and meaning. In this view, God is an impotent fool who neglects His creation, and Christianity is fogbound superstition. … Organized Jewry has used our idealism to deceive us with Socialism, Communism and Zionism. But to warn Jews of this deceit now constitutes ‘anti-Semitism.’ Surely, Jewish leaders who start wars are the real anti-Semites. They create anti-Semitism to keep ordinary Jews in line. … Jones is the foremost scholar of our time and predicament. This is because he studies the masterful Masonic-Jewish takeover of Western civilization now almost complete. … For a complete history of the New World Order from its inception over 2000 years ago, I recommend The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit.” Henry Makow, Ph.D., rense.com.

“The Kielce Pogrom, for example, has been wrongly used to show evidence of Polish actions to exterminate Jews. Jones’s magisterial volume is a marvelous antidote to such ‘conventional wisdom’ in relation to Jewish history in general. May it change hearts and minds.” Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski, author of Jews in Poland: A Documentary History; Poland: An Illustrated History and Poland: A Historical Atlas.

“What is the thesis that has gotten Jones in all this hot water? He says that throughout the past two thousand years, whenever there has been a major movement opposed to the Catholic Church, the Jews have tended to side with those movements, whether religious, social or political. … Now the question: why should this thesis be considered anti-Semitic? The answer: I have no idea. Are Jones’ critics claiming that the Jews have always agreed with the Catholic Church? … Jones makes a case that the Church has had to defend itself on more than one occasion from revolutionary movements in which the Jews played a part, small or large, and the Jews consequently faced the resentment of Christians afterwards. … But the really hot stuff is his discussion of the neo-conservatives. Eyebrows will go up. However, here and throughout the book, his research and analysis is comprehensive and calm. The veins never bulge from Jones’ neck; if there is Jew hatred here, it is immensely cunning. I would hope that Jones’ critics would give him a fair reading rather than continuing to arrange to have his public appearances cancelled. They’re not helping their own case – whatever that case is. It’s really hopeless when anyone who tries to discuss the Jews is instantly accused of being anti-Semitic if his conclusions point out any Jewish misbehavior.” Bradley Rothstein, Gilbert Magazine.

“Jones is a Roman Catholic, and one of the focuses of his book, perhaps the main one, is the gradual erosion, over a number of centuries, of the Church’s power and authority in Europe, a process in which Jews, as the author shows, played very key and very active roles every step of the way (along with the help of willing Christians), and the eventual displacement of that authority by the rising tide of Jewish power. This is an extremely important area of study because for many, many centuries it was the Catholic Church that kept Jewish power in check. Today the Church no longer plays that role, leaving a void that Islam, fortunately, has stepped in to fill, and while Islam has not been able, at least thus far, to thoroughly check Jewish power as successfully as Christianity once did … . The story of Vatican II is a complex one, but Jones tells it skillfully and in detail. … The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit is a remarkable look back at the past, but it is even more than that. By understanding history, we understand the world we live in today, and Jones provides an invaluable service in helping us to understand the 'revolutionary spirit' of Jewish power—how it operates, how it evolved, and how it maintains itself.” Richard Edmondson, deLiberation.

“Dr. E. Michael Jones daringly deals with a most taboo topic that should send shivers up the spines of respectable members of today’s Catholic Church, as he expresses views that prevailed in the past. Even when one cannot concur with his major interpretations, he provides ideas that require some thought to refute (in that they always contain elements of truth) and should not be written off in the name of ecumenical PC ... Jones writes in a felicitous manner, and draws attention to rarely mentioned religious and historical facts.” Stephen J. Sniegoski, Ph.D., author of The Transparent Cabal: The Neoconservative Agenda, War in the Middle East, and the National Interest of Israel.

“Anyone who wants to understand the background for the financial tsunami that has devastated the lives of billions of people should get himself a copy of the book by E. Michael Jones, The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and its Impact on World History. He will then understand that what is taking place before our eyes is not an historically isolated incident, but rather part of a chain of events that began with the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt and which, especially in the modern period, has caused untold misery. … The main concern of the revolutionary Jew is the Christian religion. E. Michael Jones, the strictly observant Catholic philosopher, defines the revolutionary Jew as the son of Israel who refused to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.” Friedrich Romig, Der 13te (translation from the German).

“The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit by E. Michael Jones is a monumental book which scoops two thousand years of troublesome relations between Christendom and the Jews, and endeavors to connect Jewish strategies of permanent revolution with the permanent Jewish rebellion against Christ (=Logos). This timely book may help to regain the lost balance between Judaic and Christian tendencies in the Western mind.” Israel Shamir, author of Flowers of Galilee and Cabbala of Power.

“If you are thirsting for truth, tired of political correctness, and unafraid to delve into what the rest of society sees as a forbidden area of knowledge ... then E. Michael Jones’s book will simply not allow you to stop turning its pages ... This book will give you the key to understanding our turbulent, godless and agenda-driven modern civilization as no book before it has done, or shall we say, had the courage to do.” Robert A. Sungenis, Ph.D., author of Not by Faith Alone: A Biblical Study of the Catholic Doctrine of Justification.

“Must Read Book … E. Michael Jones has the reputation of knowing the facts in world affairs and geo-politics, as well as the forces behind them. He is also well-regarded by many for having the bravery in stating the truth -- no matter how unpalatable for some -- and calling a spade a spade.” Final Confilict.

“Jones shows how the cultural war that has been going on for a little more than forty years between Catholics and Jews has been characterized by a long string of victories for the Jewish side. He points out that the Jews with whom the liberal Catholic prelates and intellectuals engage in ‘dialogue’ are not creatures of the Torah, which is the Word of God, but of the Talmud, which is the Rabbinical system put in place in later times to, among other things, coerce Jews from converting to Christianity.” Professor David O’Connell, author of Francois Mauriac Revisited and Louis Ferdinand Celine.

“I have been reading your book non-stop from various sections, sampling the banquet like a loathsome old glutton, and I have to tell you I believe you will make history with this work. I can’t think of another book by a Catholic writer of whom that could be said. This magnificent achievement, and this possibly alone, will be seen I believe now and after we are gone as the first serious ‘shot’ (and what a shot!) in the counterrevolution, which our children and grandchildren will, alas, inherit. … You have written in exactly the right tone - one of enviable calm, reasoned scholarship; and your copious, careful documentation, it seems to me, unearths what amounts to the most devastating indictment of the revolutionaries who are subverting not only the Church and Catholic nations but all good, decent moral order; all the while you take pains many times to exculpate the many good ordinary Jews who suffered because of their imputed identification with such a disproportionate number of their people involved in the violent works of subversion, especially, but not only, in Russia where tens of millions of Christians and others died. … Had this massive work been available some years ago I might have spared making such an ass of myself on the subject. Congratulations. … This work is akin to Gibson’s Passion of the Christ - which reminded the whole world of the Passion (!) when all seemed forgotten in the darkness of the Nihil - and which is still circulating the earth on DVD even into forbidden places.” Stephen Hand, A Letter to E. Michael Jones.

“must read,” The Ugly Truth.

“One of the most important books one can read on the topic is the massive work The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History, by E. Michael Jones. Mr. Jones provides documentation for his major historical theses, often from recognized Jewish historians. … the basic point is clearly demonstrated: ‘Judaism’ under the rabbinic schools and the Talmud since 70 A.D. is significantly different from the revealed religion of the patriarchs and Moses, and the community of Jews who disbelieve Jesus of Nazareth will always produce a certain number of individuals whose ideas and actions objectively undermine, in characteristic ways, the influence of Christian faith in society. If a reader keeps this in mind, and Jones says as much in his own way, then his understanding of the Gospel and of history will be enriched without having to a priori suspect all Jews of nefarious designs against the Church.” Rorate Caeli.

“an analysis sadly lacking in most modern discussions of modern American culture,” Edmund Connelly, Occidental Observer.

“Thank you for giving us this incredible work of scholarship and unparalleled historical revisionism that has transformed the way I look at the world we live in. ... JRS is characterised by calm discussion of the issues and its concise definition of terms, in particular the “Jew” as one who rejects Jesus Christ as the Messiah and your balance in placing this definition within the context of the seemingly endless debate about who the Jews are. In so doing, you simultaneously demolish the myth that the Jews of the Old Testament and the Jews of today are one and the same people, something which I never previously appreciated. ... The concise definitions of the two most misunderstood terms in contemporary cultural discourse – namely “the Jews” and “anti-Semitism” – are what makes JRS the counterrevolutionary tour de force that it is. ... I think that your chapters on the Second Vatican Council are well worth the price of the book all by themselves. You decisively prove that Vatican II was a battle over whose view of Jewish identity would become normative in the modern era in Church and world – that of the Catholic Church which had traditionally taught that to be a Jew was to be a rejecter of Christ or that of modernity which hails race as the new religion and correspondingly and exclusively identifies Jewishness in terms of blood, race and DNA, the very outlook denounced by Jesus himself in St John’s Gospel. ... JRS is the most important book that I have ever read on any subject in my life.” Stephen M. Smith, Culture Wars.

About the Author:

Eugene Michael Jones (born May 4, 1948 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a writer, former professor, media commentator and the current editor of Culture Wars magazine He was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but lost interest in it in early adulthood. He became involved in the counterculture of the 1960s. He found little satisfaction after leaving his faith, and eventually returned to it after reading The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton. Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University and began to teach at Saint Mary's College, of Notre Dame, Indiana. To Jones' displeasure, he found this college to be what he considered to be (in the words of Michael W. Cuneo who interviewed him) "the antithesis of what a Catholic college should be", being pro-choice, feminist and secular. He made little effort to conceal his views, leading to conflicts with many faculty, his department chairwoman and eventually the college's president. His department, which viewed him as a religious absolutist, decided against renewing his contract after his first year. Criticisms of Judaism Jones's work has primarily been concerned with the relationship between the Catholic Church and secular culture as well as the sexual revolution and the wider cultural effects of the second Vatican council. Later work has focussed on the historical friction between the Catholic Church and Jews. Some of his critics have claimed his later work displays antisemitism, and in 2004 the Catholic League "condemned Jones's anti-Semitism and repudiated his efforts to justify it in the name of Catholic theology". Jones has denied accusations of anti-Semitism, saying that any form of racism is against his Catholic faith. Jones has stated publicly that he considers modern Judaism to be a wicked ideology, but that he condemns criticism of Jews based upon race.
