Jct: David Astle's "Babylonian Woe" details how the usurious
fractional reserve bullion-brokers scam was played on the
ancient world thousands of years before there were any
"Jews" so when you read "Jew," think "bankster," the current
frontmen for the money-lenders, patsies to take the hate for
the millennial loansharks. It was never the "Jews," it was
never "the Babylonians," it was always the usurers. Like
Feder said: "We demand liberty for all religious
denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger
to it." So there's no problem with the Jewish religion when
Jews are no longer the patsies for the money-lender
loansharks.

Presented in Public Debate in Wagner Hall, Munich,
11 April 1921

The German Federation for the Abolition of Interest Slavery,
hereinafter called "The Federation," demands the following:

1) We demand the nationwide discontinuation of interest
payments, which is nothing more than robbery of the nation
on behalf of global finance.

2) Specifically we demand revocation of the privilege given
a certain private corporation, namely the Reichsbank, to
print money anywhere in the country.
This revocation should be accomplished through the
nationalization of the Reichsbank.

(3) We demand nationalization of all those banks that no
longer perform their valid socioeconomic task of
facilitating the circulation, movement and transfer of
money. Those banks have ruthlessly taken command of our
economic life. They are extorting tribute from the
productive sector of our economy in the form of ever-
increasing interest.

4) We demand adequate compensation for the devaluation of
savings on behalf of small pensioners.The devaluation that
resulted from the government's finance and tax policies has
ruined everyone.

5) We demand specifically that the economic independence and
future of Bavaria not be jeopardized by the assignment of
our priceless natural resource, waterpower, to private
finance capital.

6) We demand that the State undertake the development of
water resources by utilizing our own labor resources.The
State should create the necessary monetary instruments
through its own financial authority.These instruments will
be covered by income from the power plants that are built.

7) We demand that the State use its national assets and
taxing power for productive undertakings, not to provide
necessary collateral for borrowing money.

8) We demand restrictions on the raising of capital by
corporations.Joint stock corporations should use their
profits to increase their productive capacity and nothing
else.They should not be allowed to pay unprecedented
dividends while at the same time assuming unprecedented
debt.These massive amounts of new (borrowed) money represent
more debt, demanding additional interest that can only lead
to increased inflation

10) The Federation rejects the imputation that its demands
are "utopian" and "designed to spread unrest among the
people." The recovery of our national economy can be
achieved only by discontinuing national debt service, is
vitally important for everyone. Therefore, it is not
"utopian." Whatever public unrest exists is created by the
opponents of economic recovery and by no one else.

It is true that individual selfish interests will harmed
here and there, but discontinuation of interest payments is
a necessary act that can no more be avoided than can a life-
saving operation be avoided on account of the associated
discomfort.

The Federation insists that the national economic crisis
demands a solution! The havoc wreaked by our financial
policies is affecting the entire nation! These failed
policies aggravate all our social problems.

At present, our government cannot satisy the private need
for credit. An effective program would entail a complete
abolition of interest, for which there is historical
precedent. At present, interest rates are left to the
unrestricted demand of the lenders.

A solution to the present crisis can be found only by
requiring the lender to share risk as well as profit.The
lender should not receive a blanket guarantee on investment
plus other ever-increasing charges plus the constant
unearned growth of wealth through fixed interest.

The Federation proposes the liberation of all Western
nations from their stupendous indebtedness.The abolition of
interest slavery is the necessary prerequisite for the
solution of ever country's crisis, not just Germany's
crisis.We have proposed a plan to end the titanic struggle
now raging between Labor and Capital in favor of the freedom
to work and produce.Our plan shows how to accomplish this
without undermining the acquisition of wealth through
individual effort, industriousness and intellectual
achievement.

Only by abolishing interest slavery can Germany achieve
reconciliation in a nation torn by class conflict. It can be
achieved only by putting an end to the unearned income that
is derived from the possession of money. Our greatest social
task is the abolition of interest slavery. This
responsibility to abolish interest slavery towers above all
other issues of the day. It is the only solution to the
greatest problem of our time.

The abolition of interest slavery will deliver us from
global Capitalist domination. It will accomplish this while
avoiding both Communist destruction of the human spirit and
Capitalist degradation of labor. The abolition of interest
slavery opens the way to a truly social economy, by
liberating us from the overwhelming domination of money. It
opens the way to a state based on creative work and genuine
accomplishment

"Our greatest social task is the abolition of interest
slavery. This responsibility to abolish interest slavery
towers above all other issues of the day. It is the only
solution to the greatest problem of our time."

We demand that the State shall make it its first duty to
promote the industry and livelihood of the citizens of the
State. If it is not possible to nourish the entire
population of the State, foreign national (non-citizens of
the State) must be excluded from the Reich.

We Demand Therefore: Abolition of incomes unearned by work.

BREAKING OF THE THRALDOM OF INTEREST.

In view of the enormous sacrifice of life and property
demanded of a nation by every war, personal enrichment
through war must be regarded as a crime against the nation.
We demand,therefore, the total confiscation of all war
profits.

We demand a land reform suitable to our national
requirements,the passing of a law for the confiscation
without compensation of land for communal purposes, the
abolition of interest on land mortgages, and prohibition of
all speculation in land. [On April 13, 1928, Adolf Hitler
made the following elucidation to the program: . Since the
NSDAP is fundamentally based on the principle of private
property, it is obvious that the expression "confiscation
without compensation" refers merely to the creation of
possible legal means of confiscating when necessary, land
illegally acquired, or not administered in accordance with
the national welfare. It is therefore directed in the first
instance against the Jewish companies which speculate in
land.

We demand ruthless war upon all those whose activities are
injurious to the common interest. Sordid criminals against
thenation, usurers, profiteers, etc., must be punished with
death, whatever their creed or race.

We demand that the Roman law, which serves the materialistic
world order, shall be replaced by a common law. The State
must apply itself to raising the standard of health in the
nation by protecting mothers and infants, prohibiting child
labor, and increasing bodily efficiency by legally
obligatory gymnastics and sports, and by extensive support
of clubs engaged in the physical training of the young.

21. We demand the abolition of mercenary troops and the
formation of a national army.

23. We demand legal warfare against conscious political lies
and their dissemination in the press. In order to facilitate
the creation of a German national press we demand that: (a)
all editors, and their co-workers, of newspapers employing
the German language must be members of the nation; (b)
special permission from the State shall be necessary before
non-German newspapers may appear (these need not necessarily
be printed in the German language); ( c ) non-Germans shall
be prohibited by law from participating financially in or
influencing German newspapers, and the penalty for
contravention of the shall be suppression of any such
newspaper, and immediate deportation of the non-German
involved It must be forbidden to publish newspapers which
are damaging to the national welfare. We demand the legal
prosecution of all tendencies in art and literature which
exert a destructive influence on our national life and the
closing of institutions which militate against the above-
mentioned requirements.

24. We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the
State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not
militate against the moral and ethical feelings of the
German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive
Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of
creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-
materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced
that our nation can achieve permanent recovery from within
only on the principle: THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-
INTEREST

25. That all the foregoing requirements may be realized we
demand the creation of a strong, central national authority;
unconditional authority of the central legislative body over
the entire Reich and its organizations in general; and the
formation of diets and vocational chambers for the purpose
of executing the general laws promulgated by the Reich in
the various States of the Confederation. The leaders of the
Party swear to proceed regardless of consequences - if
necessary at the sacrifice of their lives - toward the
fulfillment of the foregoing Points.

Munich, February 24, 1920.

After full discussion at the general meeting of members on
May 22, 1920, it was resolved that "This program is
unalterable." This does not imply that every word must stand
unchanged, nor that any efforts to extend or develop the
program are to be prohibited, but it does imply that the
principles and basic ideas contained in it are not to be
tampered with.

There can be no twisting and turning for reasons of
expediency, no secret meddling with the most important - and
for the present order of politics, society, and economics,
most unwelcome - points in the program; no deviation from
its original sense.

Adolf Hitler has emphasized the two cornerstones of the
program by mprinting them in heavy type:

THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST - THAT IS THE
SPIRIT OF THE PROGRAM. BREAKING OF THE THRALDOM OF INTEREST
- THAT IS THE KERNEL OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM.

The following translation of Gottfried Feder's explanation
of interest slavery is from Louis L. Snyder, Encyclopedia of
the Third Reich (New York: Marlowe & Co., 1976) p. 387.
Professor Snyder obtained this quotation from, Gottfried
Feder, Hitler's Official Program and It's Fundamental Ideas,
(London: George Allen & Unwin Ltd., 1934)

"Breaking interest slavery is our cry on the field of
battle. I know this principle has not been rightly
understood in its unheard of and fundamental importance,
even in our own ranks. One sees, for example, how seldom our
speakers dare to come to this root problem. Indeed most of
them feel it to be a fundamental question; in the treasury
of words of our comrades is the motto: "Fight against
exchange and loan capitalism.' But just what 'breaking of
interest slavery' means and how it works in practical life
of the individual and the nation, what technically financial
occurences make the nation 'slaves of interest,' or what
practical steps are necessary to carry out the breaking of
interest-slavery, and what the results will be for the
entire population when this interest slavery is broken -
these are all vague.

"What does one understand by 'interest slavery'? The
condition of people who live under the money rule or the
interst rule of the almighty .high finance.

"In interest-slavery is the farmer, who, in order to finance
his farm, must take 'credit,' at so high a rate of interest,
that the interest almost eats up the profits of his work, or
who has made or must make debts and must drag the mortgage
debts with him as an eternal ball of lead.

"In interest-slavery is the workingman, who labors in the
factories and workshops for insufficient wages, while the
stockholder collects interest and dividends - without worry
or work.

"In interest slavery is the entire bourgeoisie, which to-day
must work practically speaking to pay for the interest on
bank loans.

In interest slavery are all who must earn their bread
through bodily or mental work, while standing opposite to
them a class - without care and without work - obtains huge
incomes through financial transactions. -We do not speak of
small independent men or the men with savings-accounts, even
though they collect small profits through a fundamentally
unsound system but throughout their lives a hundred times
the amount of their small savings are taken away from them
in some manner through taxes, pensions, etc., so that in old
age they may be given a part of what has been taken away
from them before.

"In interest-slavery is the industrialist, who has built up
his business through the hardest of work, then, according to
the principle of keeping up with the times, has changed his
business into a corporation; he is now no longer his own
boss, but he must satisfy the insatiable greed for profits
of the 'members of the boeard and the stockholders'-if he
doesn't want to be fired from his own business.

"In interest-slavery is every nation that covers its needs
for money through 'loans.'

In interest-slavery every nation is destroyed, every nation
that gives its most important domestic sovereign rights to
the money-power - the bankers, its financial interests, its
railroads, and the control of the most important taxes and
tariffs, as Germany has done through acceptance of the Dawes
plan.

"In interest-slavery are all nations and all governments
that bend before the power of loan-capital.

"In interest-slavery is all creative work, that has lost its
place to gold, so that to-day money has become the most
brutal tyrant over work.

"Interest-slavery is the correct term for the contrasts
'capital vs. work,' 'blood vs. money,' 'power of creation
vs. profiteering.'

"The demand for breaking of interest-slavery is of such
gigantic proportions, of such fundamental importance for our
nation.that the rebirth of our nation out of the depths of
slavery and shame is dependent upon the solution of the
problem, indeed the happiness, prosperity and civilization
of the world is dependent upon it.

"Breaking of interest-slavery is the steel axle about which
everything turns. It is much more than a financial,
political demand;.It goes into the personal life of
everyone. It demands the decision from everyone: serving for
the people or limitless private wealth. It means the
solution of the social question."

20. With the aim of opening to every capable and industrious
German the possibility of higher education and consequent
advancement to leading positions, the State must consider a
thorough reconstruction of our national system of education.
The curriculum of all educational establishments must be
brought into line with the requirements of practical life.
Directly the mind begins to develop the schools must aim at
teaching the pupil to understand the idea of the State
(State sociology). We demand the education of specially
gifted children of poor parents, whatever their class or
occupation, at the expense of the State.

21. The State must apply itself to raising the standard of
health in the nation by protecting mothers and infants,
prohibiting child labor, and increasing bodily efficiency by
legally obligatory gymnastics and sports, and by extensive
support of clubs engaged in the physical training of the
young.

22. We demand the abolition of mercenary troops and the
formation of a national army.

23. We demand legal warfare against conscious political lies
and their dissemination in the press. In order to facilitate
the creation of a German national press we demand that: (a)
all editors, and their co-workers, of newspapers employing
the German language must be members of the nation; (b)
special permission from the State shall be necessary before
non-German newspapers may appear (these need not necessarily
be printed in the German language); ( c ) non-Germans shall
be prohibited by law from participating financially in or
influencing German newspapers, and the penalty for
contravention of the shall be suppression of any such
newspaper, and immediate deportation of the non-German
involved It must be forbidden to publish newspapers which
are damaging to the national welfare. We demand the legal
prosecution of all tendencies in art and literature which
exert a destructive influence on our national life and the
closing of institutions which militate against the above-
mentioned requirements.

24. We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the
State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not
militate against the moral and ethical feelings of the
German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive
Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of
creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-
materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced
that our nation can achieve permanent from within only on
the principle: THE COMMON INTEREST BEFORE SELF-INTEREST
