Munich -- Speech of September 18, 1922 | |||
1. We must call to account the November criminals of 1918. It cannot be that two million Germans | |||
should have fallen in vain and that afterwards one should sit down as friends at the same table with | |||
traitors. No, we do not pardon, we demand - Vengeance! | |||
2. The dishonoring of the nation must cease. For betrayers of their Fatherland and informers the gallows | |||
is the proper place. Our streets and squares shall once more bear the names of our heroes; they shall not | |||
be named after Jews. In the Question of Guilt we must proclaim the truth. | |||
3. The administration of the State must be cleared of the rabble which is fattened at the stall of the | |||
parties. | |||
4. The present laxity in the fight against usury must be abandoned. Here the fitting punishment is the | |||
same as that for the betrayers of their Fatherland. | |||
5. WE MUST DEMAND A GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT ON THE SUBJECT OF THE PEACE | |||
TREATY. WITH THOUGHTS OF LOVE? NO! BUT IN HOLY HATRED AGAINST THOSE WHO | |||
HAVE RUINED US. | |||
6. The lies which would veil from us our misfortunes must cease. The fraud of the present money- | |||
madness must be shown up. That will stiffen the necks of us all. | |||
7. AS FOUNDATION FOR A NEW CURRENCY THE PROPERTY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT OF | |||
OUR BLOOD MUST DO SERVICE. If families who have lived in Germany for a thousand years are | |||
now expropriated, we must do the same to the Jewish usurers. | |||
8. WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL JEWS WHO HAVE ENTERED GERMANY | |||
SINCE 1914, and of all those, too, who through trickery on the Stock Exchange or through other shady | |||
transactions have gained their wealth. | |||
9. The housing scarcity must be relieved through energetic action; houses must be granted to those who | |||
deserve them. Eisner said in 1918 that we had no right to demand the return of our prisoners - he was | |||
only saying openly what all Jews were thinking. People who so think must feel how life tastes in a | |||
concentration camp! | |||
Extremes must be fought by extremes. Against the infection of materialism, against the Jewish | |||
pestilence we must hold aloft a flaming ideal. And if others speak of the World and Humanity we say | |||
the Fatherland - and only the Fatherland! |
