General Erich von Ludendorff, leader of Germany’s neo-pagan movement, gave his interpretation of the evolution of the British Commonwealth of Nations today as a “decay” brought about by “Jewish freemason” influence.

In a newspaper article entitled “The Pomp of England’s Decay,” General von Ludendorff held that the organization of the British Empire into a free association of states was the first stop in the disintegration of British influence in the world.

After referring to the discovery of America by “the Jew Columbus,” the German war here declared:

“The Jew planned to seize power with the British. In the middle of the last century England became so steeped in Jewish thought that the Jew Disraeli dictated England’s policy.

“Jews and freemasons steered England into the World War after the Jew imagined he saw a chance to establish a world republic. He began to emasculate the British Empire through pacifism, an offshoot of the Jewish teaching of Christianity. Thus the British Empire turned into an association of free states.”

After dwelling on the loss of Egypt, and Ireland and what he called the failure of British policy in Palestine, General ven Ludendorff said:

“The Commonwealth of Nations is a Jewish freemason abortion. The decay of England as a world power is the work of the Jew, the freemason and the English clergy in league with the unholy machinations of the rotten church.”
