Officials of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's party gave out translated copies of US industrialist Henry Ford's anti-Semitic book "The International Jew" to delegates at the annual United Malays National Organization (UMNO) conference in Kuala Lumpur.
Tens of thousands of Muslim Malays attended the last day of the three-day conference to see Mahathir deliver his final speech as party president before stepping down in October.
According to media reports delegates at the conference were handed free copies of an abridged version of Ford's book, translated into Bahasa Malay and published in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Ford's book, first published in Ford's own newspaper, 'The Dearborn Independent' in the 1920s , was inspired by and contained sections from the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion".
The "Protocols" purports to be the secret transcription of a Zionist Congress that met in Switzerland in 1897, as taken down by a Czarist spy and first published in St. Petersburg in 1903.
At the meeting, Jewish leaders allegedly discussed their plans to establish Jewish 'sovereignty over the entire world.' The Protocols includes their boasts of being 'invincible' and plans to establish a 'Super-Government Administration' that will 'subdue all the nations.'
In fact, "The Protocols" is a malicious fabrication forged by the Russian Czarist secret police, the Okhrana, in about 1898-99. Henry Ford endorsed the book, and his own variation on it, and saw to its propagation in media outlets owned by his Ford Motor Company.
In his book, Ford wrote that the Jews were "a people that has no civilization to point to, no aspiring religion, no universal speech, and no great achievement in any realm".
Ford paid for the first German translation of his work, which soon became a favorite of Adolf Hitler's.
The Malaysian prime minister has frequently used Jews as a scapegoat for political and economic setbacks. He blamed Jews for his country's 1997 financial meltdown.
"We do not want to say that this is a plot by the Jews, but in reality it is a Jew who triggered the currency plunge, and coincidentally [George] Soros is a Jew. It is also a coincidence that Malaysians are mostly Moslem. Indeed, the Jews are not happy to see Moslems progress. If it were Palestine, the Jews would rob Palestinians. Thus this is what they are doing to our country," Mahathir said at the time.
In a 1970 book outlining his view of the problems facing the Malay people, The Malay Dilemma, Mahathir wrote: "the Jews are not merely hook-nosed, but understand money instinctively."
Mahathir's government has long been an adversary of Israel in international forums, particularly in the United Nations, and actively advocated an economic boycott of the Jewish nation. Throughout the 1980's Mahathir spoke of international newspapers critical to his regime as being controlled by Jews, and of Zionist plots to undermine his government.
Malaysia also banned Steven Spielberg's movie, Schindler's List for being too sympathetic to Jews. The censor wrote that "its seems the illustration is a propaganda with the purpose of asking for sympathy, as well as to tarnish the other [German] race."
Malaysia also banned Spielberg's epic cartoon 'The Prince of Egypt', the tale of Moses.

"The Malaysian prime minister has frequently used Jews as a scapegoat for political and economic setbacks. He blamed Jews for his country's 1997 financial meltdown."
I've never heard him blame jews. But I have heard him blame currency speculators!
This is sort of related to the currency part. See this link.
The founding fathers gave us money that is gold and silver coin and intended that we use that as money forever. They put it in the Constitution that the government coin (that's a verb) money and that only gold and silver coin be regarded by the courts of the states as legal tender. In other words, the states were not to force a creditor to accept for a debt anything but gold and silver coin. The freeper justshutupandtakeit drives by about now and tells me I'm reading it wrong. You can read it for yourself and make up your own mind. I consider the gold and silver coin to be American, of the United States, of the Founding Fathers and the Republic they designed for us. My feeling of patriotism finds expression partly by being pro-gold and silver and also being for the ancient principle of value-for-value and honesty.
America is indeed addicted to this paper and electronic debt-money borrowed from the Federal Reserve. But because it is not what the founding fathers designed for us, I consider it Unamerican. Not of the United States. Not of the Founding Fathers and the Republic they designed for us. I consider it FOREIGN even though it has all the symbols of America, the words United States of America, the Eagle, the pictures of the dead presidents. I don't care if the new currency is peach colored or if the old color is green. I don't care how Abraham Lincoln looks in the center of the bill or shifted to the left and enlarged. It is FOREIGN because if you list all the attributes of our modern money, both paper and metal tokens, you will not find any correspondence between it and what the Constituiton says it should be. Our paper money is debt and is legal tender. Our metal money is base metal. The Constitution would have our metal money be gold and silver coin, and our paper money NOT be legal tender, but be accepted at the discretion of the creditor who has the right to refuse it. And those of you who just love our current debt-dollar, I don't mean to offend, but you all are just useful idiots of those who would foist foreign and unconstitutional money systems on the United States. I hope you will realize the error of your ways someday.
And as the article indicates, Washington is upset because a foreign sovereign nation doesn't like the dollar or likes the uro more. Washington, with Greenspan at the controls, is trying to blow up another debt bubble with low interest rates and massive creation of new debt. This action renders all existing debt-dollars worth less---which cheats the holders of US government paper (foreign AND domestic---yes American citizens are being cheated too) out of their wealth. Inevitable higher prices hurt people on fixed incomes. That is unamerican. That is not of the United States. That is FOREIGN.
If the dollar were again a defined amount of silver or gold, and US presidents could be trusted not to devalue it, confiscate it, replace it with interest bearing debt, maybe Venezuela and all the other countries would love it again. But as long as it remains debt from which economic bubbles (and the subsequent crashes) are generated, we can't be surprised if the world either dislikes the dollar or at least has a love-hate relationship with it---and us.
There is another article on the web somewhere that says we are printing iraqi dinars with saddam's picture on it. We are doing it because the iraqi dinar was strengthening relative to the US dollar just after the war because there was no iraqi central bank to print more of them. So they were in demand. Well of course money is supposed to always be in demand. But Washington can't have a currency of a defeated third-world middle eastern country be stronger than the US debt-dollar. So we are going to fix that by weakening their currency. We'll just print dinars ourselves. See? That is what the FOREIGNERS and Sir Alan Greenspan KBE have brought us down to. Counterfeitting the currencies of other countries so they won't look better (stronger) relative to ours. Ours sucks. And others suck too. But we have to make sure theirs sucks more than ours sucks. What do you think the Founding Fathers would say if they knew we were printing iraqi dinars to hide the weakness of our own?
Don't anyone flame me or even respond in disagreement unless you read the Constitution and can describe in detail how our base metal currency and paper and electronic debt-currency in any way is in compliance with the express words of the Constitution.
Its like reading a transcript from DU on Israel and the "neo's".
If memory serves, it was a personally autographed picture of Hitler
NEVER AGAIN bump.
Sells well on Amazon too but you have to go to their European sites.
