{FEUER} {SCHOP} If the application of ‘Know Thyself’ to our Church’s religious descent would turn out poorly for our case against the Jews, the result will be no less unfavourable if we investigate the nature of the only thing our State systems understand by possession, before endeavouring to secure it from the Jews’ encroachments.” [1065W-{1-2/81} Know Thyself – 2nd Supplement to ‘Religion and Art’: PW Vol. VI, p. 267]

[P. 268] {FEUER} “Clever though be the many thoughts expressed by mouth or pen about the invention of money and its enormous value as a civiliser, against such praises should be set the curse to which it has always been doomed in song and legend. If gold here figures as the demon strangling manhood’s innocence, our greatest poet shows at last the goblin’s game of paper money. The Nibelung’s fateful ring become a pocket-book, might well complete the eerie picture of the spectral world-controller.” [1066W-{1-2/81} Know Thyself – 2nd Supplement to ‘Religion and Art’: PW Vol. VI, p. 268]

[P. 269] {FEUER} {SCHOP} “ … an inner motive plainly lies at bottom of thepresent movement, little as it may be evinced by the behaviour of its leaders so far. We expressed our belief above that this motive was the re-awakening of an instinct lost to the German nation. People speak of an antagonism of races. In this sense we should have fresh cause for self-inspection, as it would necessitate our defining the relation of certain given breeds of man to one another. Here it would probably have to be recognised at the outset that in talking of a German ‘race,’ it would be very difficult, nay, wellnigh impossible to compare it with a race so strongly pronounced, and still unaltered, as the Jewish. (…)
[P. 271] {FEUER} The Jew … is the mostastounding instance of racial congruence ever offered by world-history. Without a fatherland, a mother-tongue, midst every people’s land and tongue he finds himself again, in virtue of the unfailing instinct of his absolute and indelible idiosyncrasy: even commixture of blood does not hurt him; let Jew or Jewess intermarry with the most distinct of races, a Jew will always come to birth.” [1067W-{1-2/81} KnowThyself – 2nd Supplement to ‘Religion and Art’: PW Vol. VI, p. 269; p. 271]

[P. 271] {FEUER} “Not into the remotest contact is he [the Jew] brought with thereligion of any of the civilised (gesittete) nation; for in truth he has no religion at all merely the belief in certain promises of his god which in nowise extend to a life beyond this temporal life of his, as in every true religion, but simply to this present life on earth, whereon his race is certainly ensured dominion over all that lives and lives not. Thus the Jew has need to neither think nor chatter, not ever to calculate, for the hardest calculation lies all cut and dried for him in an instinct shut against all ideality. A wonderful, unparalleled phenomenon: the
