Elders of Zion redux
Ezra Pound and Henry Ford, among others, believed that "Jew bankers" ran the world. That obviously breaks down into two assumptions. Many people noticed back then that the banks were not really run by "the Jews," and that remains true today, even though the biggest vampire squid is called Goldman Sachs. Adolf Hitler gave Jew hating a bad name, and most people are smart enough not to want to be accused of it. So The Wall Street Journal is now trying to pretend that anyone who distrusts the banks must think they are run by "the Jews." Charles Pierce cruelly mocks.
