Part 4
So far, I have been translating all of the narration in the book and leaving out the speech bubbles unless they are necessary for context or particularly interesting. The same is true of the pictures, which I only describe when they are quite shocking. The reason for doing so is that I think the pictures in the book are extremely off-putting. Images of Uncle Sam trapped in a Star of David, or the royalty of Europe prostrating themselves before a haughty enthroned Nathan Rothschild are so over the top that they provoke a strong reaction in the viewer. I really want to focus on the portion of the book that is unquestionably being presented as fact by Rhie Won-bok, and that would be the narration. This seems to me to be the most unambiguous and unquestionable way to bring attention to his glaring racism, antisemitism, and general poor scholarship.
On a related note, I am curious whether I should continue translating so much, or whether I should focus on the worst portions of the book. I think the whole narrative flow is quite interesting, but I also understand that posting everything robs the low points of some of their visceral punch. Any thoughts?

p231)
The first place that the Jews got a solid hold on the finance industry was Amsterdam. After the religious revolution religious groups being oppressed in their homelands were pushed there. Netherlands was open-minded towards Jews and Sefaradim chased from Spain came there. In the time of the English Revolution the Jews lent huge sums of war funding to Oliver Cromwell and so played a decisive role in his victory. At the chance of profit, Jews spread en masse into England. In 1688, Stewart King James the 2nd was forced out and William the 3rd of Orange, from the Netherlands, rose to the British crown. William was afraid that James had his eye on retaking the crown. He needed a massive amount of money and he consulted with Jewish merchants.
(Graphic shows William of Orange with a Jew)
Jew: "But you know nothing is free in this world. Instead of giving you this money at low interest, give me some rights equal in value to the money I've lent you."
William: "Be straight, you're asking for the right to mint money, right?"
Jew: "Oh, your highness, you've got a good head on your shoulders, that's just what I'm talking about."
William: "What's so tough about that." (maybe we could translate this as "No problem.")
Jew (thinks): "Stupid. He doesn't even know that national sovereignty is the power to coin money."

p232)
"The Jews who got permission in 1694 established the Bank of England.

"The Bank of England remained a private establishment until it was nationalized in 1946."

(Graphic shows a Jew in a yarmulke waving from behind an altar or box labeled "Bank of England" with a menorah standing on it)
This was the Jews' chance to grab England's financial power, and thus had the world's finances wrapped around their fingers (이를 계기로 유대인은 영국 내의 금융권을 장악, 세상을 그들의 뜻대로 좌지우지하였어).
Jews even occupied the chair of England's Prime Minister. Disraeli and Glad Stone (글래드 스톤 ) are representative of this.

"But it's not just England. All over Europe Jewish power, based on monetary power, began to get stronger."

Representatives of that power exhibit strong power world-wide to this day as financial dynasties. We can point to the Rothschild clan. The Rothschilds were a family of Jewish international financiers from Frankfurt. They were born in Germany and so this German Jewish name was pronounced "Rothschild' (로트 실트), but we now pronounce it in the British style. They are an ultra-wealthy Jewish clan that had all of Europe clasped in their hand via their money (전유럽을 돈으로 휘어잡은 거부 유대인 가문이지).


p233)
This family's leader, Mayer Amschel Rothschild was born in the Frankfurt ghetto. Rothschild started a bank with money he gathered from usurious loans (고리대금업으로 출발하여 거금을 모아 로트실트, 즉 로스차일드 은행을 설립하고 . . .). In London, Naples, Vienna, and other places he opened branches and sent his sons to them. After he constructed a connected financial network and exercised huge influence, getting close to each country's government and power elite. They even got ennobled in various countries, meddling deeply in their government. They took power on their back as today's world financial capital's basis was solidified by them.
In Europe whenever there was a big war the Rothschilds' money played an important role. European history was reversed depending on the direction their money flowed.
England's Nathan Rothschild decided the outcome of the Napoleonic War. Nathan Rothschild lent 100 million pounds to each country's government. He had them fight Napoleon, who was hostile to Jews.

p234)
After Napoleon escaped from Elba, when the decisive Battle of Waterloo began, Rothschild promised enormous sums of financing so Prussia and the other nations' volunteer armies could receive massive reinforcements. The greatly bolstered allied forces delivered a crushing defeat to Napoleon. Napoleon eventually came to ruin at the hands of the Jews (그는 결국 유대인에 의해 몰락한 셈이지).
(Graphic shows Star of David-clad hand holding a mallet and bopping Napoleon on the head)
Nathan Rothschild as a financier was the first person to perceive that information was important. When the Battle of Waterloo began he bought off the reporters. The British and allied forces won, but of course everyone in London heard the news that they had lost. London instantly went nuts (아수라장으로 돌변). In London's stock market, the stock prices plummeted 90%. Rothschild bought these stocks at the same price as sheets of toilet paper. He was able to snatch up 62% of the stocks being exchanged on the market. England's famous families went bankrupt and fell into poverty. They had no choice but to prostrate themselves before Nathan Rothschild, now England's greatest rich man.

Thanks to the one and only Marmot for sending people this way. I've had some great feedback from like-minded people and some well appreciated help with my translation from Colin, and an offer to put Chapter 8 on Flickr and make it publicly available. I had considered it, but I'm not really equipped for it and my own copy is too messy to scan. Also it's good to know that someone out there is double-checking my translation. I certainly try to be as faithful to the original as I can, but I'm not perfect. That said, I am a bit unsure about my translation of a few sentences on page 227. The Sombart quotes that Rhie uses are perhaps beyond my abilities. Anyway, on with the show.

p227)
So what is the relationship between America and the Jews? In the early 20th century, German economist and sociologist Werner Sombart said "What we call the American Spirit is nothing more than the Jewish ethos."

Thanks to Colin for the translation hlp here. The original (Korean translation of German, presumably) had "우리가 '미국의 혼 (양키 혼)' 이라고 부르는 것은 순수한 유대정신에 지나지 않는다"

The American spirit is a stage in the deterioration of Judaism into a form that wears the mask of Christianity, which is known as Puritanism. (아메리카의 정신은 퓨리탄(청교)을 통하여 그리스도교의 가면을 쓴 유대교로 변질되어가는 과정이며 . . .)
(Graphic shows Sombart speaking to an angry crowd)
Sombart: "Puritanism is artificial Judaism."
Crowd: "How could he go so far?"
What's so Antisemitic about this idea?
(Graphic shows two angry men)
Angry man 1: "Sombart is a mouthpiece for the Nazis and hates Jews."
Angry man 2: "No, what he says could be true."
After Cromwell's Puritanical Revolution, England gradually became Judaified (유대화되어 갔다).
(Graphic shows England with three trees labeled, in ascending order of size, "The Anglican Church"(성공회), "Puritanism"(청도교), and "Jewish power" (유대세력))
The Puritan group crossed to America to build the U.S.
(Graphic shows a ship containing trees labeled "Puritanism" and "Jews" (청도교 and 유대인) approaching the New World)
After Cromwell, England gradually started to be influenced more and more.
(Graphic shows a Jew handing a bag with a dollar sign on it to an Englishman.
Jew: "You need this, right?
Finally, the government of the U.K., and going forward, world politics, came under the sway of the Jews (유대인들의 입김이 크게 작용 하게 되었다는 의미이고 . . .)
(Graphic shows the Jew, now hiding behind the Englishman, whispering in his ear)
Jew (to Englishman): "It must be done"
Englishman (to the reader): "Do it!"

This is more of the same nefarious Jewry, with the yarmulkes and the white robes and the hook noses. Note, however, that cartoons of all races have huge bulbous noses in Rhie's books.

The reason can be summarized as Puritanism and Judaism's greatest point in common.
Englishman and Jew: "Money, Wealth!"

p228)
The world's religions oppose wealth and teach control of greed. This is done in order to maintain public order in human society and prevent the confusion of greed and pillage. Of course the Old and New Testaments disavow wealth (부를 부정한다). So Catholicism teaches not to covet wealth and honors. Buddhism teaches to empty the mind of desire. Hinduism from the very beginning taught not to own anything. Islam requires one to throw away earthly desire. In this way religions invariably teach to throw away earthly desires and see money making as an activity that can't be clean. Only two religions emphasize that it is OK to become wealthy: Judaism and Puritanism. Calvin emphasized the "Honest Rich Man" ("깨끗한 부자"), and so does Judaism emphasize becoming wealthy.
(Speech bubble coming out of a picture of the Talmud but not directly attributed to it) "Nothing is worse than poverty. Those stained with poverty take all the world's trouble."

I'm particularly interested in finding out what this clean rich man (깨끗한 부자) of his is. I can't find any direct quotes of Calvin's by doing a cursory internet search. Any clues?

p229)
The Jewish scripture "The Talmud" teaches the importance of wealth. (Marked as quote) "Poverty is much worse than all the pains in the world." "There are three pains people suffer: anxiety, arguments, and an empty wallet. Every part of the body depends on the mind. The mind depends on the wallet. Money is a blessing. Wealth is a fortress and poverty is the ruins of a fort."
Calvinism which forms the roots of Puritanism was repulsed by Catholicism and Lutheranism. It criticized Catholicism as rotten. Both Catholicism and Lutheranism rejected wealth, and Calvinism, which spoke for the newly emerging bourgeois class of manufacturers and traders, justified their occupation as honorable labor and their wealth as "honest wealth" (깨끗한 부, 즉 청부 (淸富)). After the English Revolution this idea formed the psychological basis of the Industrial Revolution. This became the theoretical basis of England's emerging capitalism.
Adam Smith, who was a Jew, wrote 'The Wealth of Nations' (유대인이었던 애덤 스미스의 <국부론>이 발표되었고 . . .) .

Full stop. This sentence essentially serves only to reinforce his contention that wealth and Jews are inextricably related. Adam Smith was not Jewish, and I have failed to even find any English sources that make the claim. Wikipedia specifically states that he was baptized in Kirkcaldy on June 5, 1723.

The book was published in 1776, the same year as the Declaration of Independence.

p230)

Protestantism, with its faith in the stockpiling of honest wealth
and Judaism, with its consideration of wealth as a virtue, formed a perfect match.

"Wherever Puritanism gained power, a feast of greed commenced . . .
The invisible principle character of that feast was definitely the Jew. Why?"

The first time I read this I absolutely refused to believe that I was understanding it correctly. I read the whole page several times thinking he was being ironic or quoting someone else, but his meaning is very clear, that every bad thing done in the name of colonialism and Western expansionism was the fault of the Jews and their wicked wicked money.

Jews were the first people to see money as a commodity, so the Jews are the ones who most penetrate the financial industry that makes money with money, because the Jews have an advantage (돈으로 돈을 버는 금융업을 가장 잘 꿰뚫어보고 이를 장악한 존재가 유대인이었거든 - Feel free to correct me if this is wrong).
To the Jews, who amid fierce pressure could hold not other jobs, money was the only thing they could believe in, as well as their most important weapon for protecting their lives (모진 핍박과 멸시 속에 다른 직업을 가질수 없었던 유대인들에게 오로지 믿을 수 있는 건 돈뿐이었고 돈은 그들의 생명을 지켜주는 소중한 무기였던 거야).
Naturally they persistently saved money and amassed great wealth, and they used their collected money to research new methods of making money. They created stock companies, banks, stock markets, et cetera. They held a grip on the financial market with tenacity and excellent skills that no other people (민족) could stand face to face with.

Chapter 8: One Must Know the Jews to Truly See America

Part 1
I was originally planning to translate the book from cover to cover in order. This morning I was flipping through the book on the bus and I got sucked into the eighth chapter, which deals with the history of Judaism. When I set out to translate this book I expected to find some interesting perspectives or factual errors. Instead I've found a full-on anti-Semitic polemic, and various other dubious comments about race which I'll get to later. Without further ado, Chapter 8: One Must Know the Jews to Truly See America: Jews, the powerful force that moves America. My comments are in italics this color, particularly interesting portions are in red.

This picture opens up the chapter on page 219

p220)
Among all the countries of the world, there is only one race in which a majority of the people don't live in their country of origin (본국), and that is the Jews.
Cartoon Korean man: "Korea = The country of Koreans."
Cartoon Chinese man: "China = The country where 95% of the people are of the Han nationality."
Cartoon Chinese man: "The largest population of people living outside their home country is the 40 million Chinese who live abroad. But that's only 0.3% of their home country's 1.3 billion people."
Israel has a population of 6.2 million. There are 6.5 million Jews in the U.S.
The nationless race of Jews (나라 없는 민족 유대인) were chased out of their homeland of Palestine in 70AD. They spread throughout the whole world for almost 2000 years.
(Graphic shows lines radiating out of Palestine to Western Europe and subsequently to America, Central Europe, East Europe, Africa, India, Asia and subsequently China).

Is this accurate? I was led to believe that the majority of American Jews come from Eastern and Central Europe.

The Jewish race, that advanced from Africa to China, share something with the Chinese, in that there is not a corner of the world in which either has not set down roots.
In all the world, Korea is the only place where the Jews failed to set down roots.
(Graphic shows a Joseon soldier in a guard tower)
Soldier: Only in Korea, where there aren't even any Chinatowns, were Jews unable to settle.
It's impossible to know which of the two races is the most "severe" (or harsh or sharp, "어쩌 보면 두 민족은 전세계에서 가장 '지독한' 민족일지도 몰라")
We Koreans, who are hard-working and diligent and are sad to come in second, can amass great victories in America with our competitive spirit. But in the end each and every time we hit a barrier, and that barrier is the Jews.
p221)
We Koreans, who don't know how to lose to any other race . . .

". . . [We] can never surpass the wall of Jews in American society."

This is not only true of Koreans: Every other race and ethnicity has this in common.
Cartoon Jew: "So many people hate us, but no one can mess with us."
Jews make up slightly more than 2% of the American population. They control American finance and naturally the American economy controls the world economy. They twist the media to their own ends and control the world of politics. They pilot the U.S. government from behind the scenes and they even have world politics wrapped around their finger (좌지우지). They have a monopoly on Hollywood and paint a picture of the Jewish people as virtuous victims. They play the part of herald for the message that the Arabs and Muslims that they oppose are a barbarous and violent mass.
In a word, the whites at the heart of America are called WASPs (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants). . .

". . .but the real group that controls America through money and media pressure is the Jews."

So if you don't understand the Jews, you'll never understand America.
p222)
So what kind of people are the Jews? The Jews and their current implacable enemies the Arabs are sister races, both find their roots in the Semitic language family. They both draw their ancestry from their earliest forebear Abram or Abraham. According to the old testament, Abraham's great-grandson Judah lent his name to the Jews. Jews differed from other Arab peoples in their belief in the single god Yahweh.

So he's saying that the Jews are a kind of Arab, just to be clear here.

They believe that the Jews were chosen by God and that some day God would send a messiah, i.e. a savior, to save the Jewish people from hardship. The Jews clashed strongly with neighboring peoples over their belief that they were the chosen people, their monotheism and their belief in a Messiah. Even worse, their refusal to accept the gods of the invading Romans proved to be a huge stumbling block. Eventually in 70AD, they were expelled from their homeland.

p223)
This is called the Diaspora, in which the Jews were chased out of their homeland, Palestine, by the Romans.

The book does use the word Isreal in cartoons depicting the modern state of Isreal. but whenever referring to the origin of Jews it uses the term Palestine, insinuating that Isreal is a modern invention, I imagine.

From then on it was all sorrow for the Jews. They were the target of hatred and oppression as a parasite race living in other people's lands. The Jews spread out to all the compass points, but there were two main groups. One group followed the Arabian conquest of the old Roman Empire into Spain and
Portugal. The other is the group that scattered into Germany and Central Europe.
The Jews of Spain and Portugal and the Arab world are called
Sefaradim. The Jews of Germany are called Ashkenazim. Even
today there are two religious leaders, one for each group. The Sefaradim and Ashkenazim existed in equal numbers during the
Middle Ages, but in 1492, Spain issued a complete order of deportation and the Sefaradim numbers fell.

(Graphic shows a voice coming from under a flag and sword)

Voice: "Since we're expelling the Muslims, expel the Jews, who are of a different religion too."
Up until World War 2, their population didn't pass 1.5 million
out of a total 16.5 million Jews.
p224)
During World War 2, Nazi Germany achieved the slaughter
of 6 million Jews. They killed 1/3 of the world's Jews in
this act of barbarity. But why would Christians hate Jews so much?

This is nearly the only reference to the holocaust in the book.

The first reason is that in their religion, central figures say that the Jews killed Jesus, but that's ridiculous. Jesus was a Jew, and his first believers were Jews. That's just an excuse for hating Jews. The second and biggest reason for hating Jews is that they will never give up their religion and reject Christianity, because they believe they are the chosen people and that a Messiah is coming.
To make them a groveling race, they were not allowed to own land. They couldn't join clubs or engage in commerce and industry. They were gathered together and made to live in ghettos.

There's plenty more on it's way. The general gist is that the Jews are a particularly unpleasant kind of Arab from Palestine twisted by years of oppression into a malevolent and unbeatable force.
