Deep State Washington Post, attacking redpillers since 1994 CALLING ALL CRACKPOTS  By Michael Lind October 16, 1994  FROM AROUND 1960 to 1990, the leaders of American conservatism sought to purge the right of its ancient bigotries: antisemitism, racism and nativism. Their success was instrumental in convincing swing voters that conservatives could be entrusted with national power. Since the end of the Reagan administration, however, American conservatives have been quietly rehabilitating views confined for a generation to the fringe. Consider the conspiracy theories of Pat Robertson, the white man's answer to LouisFarrakhan. In his 1991 book "The New World Order," Robertson argues that a secret cabal of international bankers, Freemasons and occultists has been responsible for the French and Russian Revolutions and the creation of the Federal Reserve. While Robertson is careful to stress his support for the state of Israel, he sees Jewish bankers behind all sorts of conspiracies: "It is reported that in Frankfurt, Jews for the first time were admitted to the order of Freemasons. If indeed members of the Rothschild family or their close associates were polluted by the occultism of Weishaupt's Illuminated Freemasonry, we may have discovered the link between the occult and the world of high finance." One of the most familiar antisemitic libels is the claim that certain wealthy Jews, carrying out a long-range plan, have been behind both "monopoly capitalism" and "godless communism." In his 1991 book, Robertson repeatedly claims that Jewish bankers on Wall Street, seeking to create a mystical "new world order," backed the Bolsheviks: "What the average man and woman find so difficult to understand, however, is how a Wall Street banker such as Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb and Company could personally transport $20 million in gold to help salvage the near-bankrupt, fledgling communist government of the new Soviet Russia." Compare this with the following, from "Pawns in the Game," a Canadian neo-Nazi tract of the 1950s: "{Hitler and his associates} produced masses of documented evidence . . . to prove Communism was organized, financed, and directed by powerful, wealthy, and influential Jews . . . to further their secret ambitions to bring about the Messianic Age." According to the leader of the Christian Coalition, international high finance stood behind not only Lenin but John Wilkes Booth. Says Robertson, "it is my belief that John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated Lincoln, was in the employ of the European bankers."
