I was down with cold and decided read a book about the infamous Damascus Affair. It was titled Debacle in Damascus. You may find it on White supremacist websites (run by the FBI/ADL) but it is really scholarly piece of work. The Affair relates to the disappearance a Capuchin friar Padro Tomaso and the arrest of 13 Jews accused of ritual murder in 1840.

In the footnotes, I read that the famed publisher of the Kamasutra Richard F Burton was the British consul in Damascus and collected a lot of evidence about the case. He put it all in the appendix of a a book titled “The Jew, The Gypsy and El Islam”. Because of the presence of strong anti-Judaic content in the book and because of the large number of Jewish friends he had, he sent the manuscript to an influential friend for opinion. The friend advised against publishing it. Burton’s wife also advised him against publishing it until he had secured his pension. Alas, Burton died a few months before his retirement. Burton’s widow continued publishing his works but when “The Jew…” was next in the list, she also died but not before leaving something (that was mysteriously discovered” later) that indicated her will that the manuscript be destroyed. Her sister Ms. Fitzgerald (one of the executors of her will) also died around the time she tried to get it published. The British Board of Deputies (the premier Jewish organization in Britain at that time) eventually acquired the manuscript and put it away in its vault. In 1898, they bore upon publishers Hutchinson to release the book without the appendix, which formed the bulk of the book and contained all the important information that Burton had collected on the case. (Hutchinson editor Wilkins also died at the ripe old age of 45.) In 2001, the British Board of Deputies put the manuscript of the appendix up for auction because they could not pay the rent at their London offices. (Paper on ‘Jewish sacrifices’ for sale, 18 May 2001, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1330640/Paper-on-Jewish-sacrifices-for-sale.html).

Here is an excerpt from the preface by the editor Wilkins.

The first part—The Jew—has a somewhat curious history. Burton collected most of the materials for writing it from 1869 to 1871, when he was Consul at Damascus. His intimate knowledge of Eastern races and languages, and his sympathy with Oriental habits and lines of thought, gave him exceptional facilities for ethnological studies of this kind. Disguised as a native, and unknown to any living soul except his wife, the British Consul mingled freely with the motley populations of Damascus, and inspected every quarter of the city—Muslim, Christian, and Jewish. His inquiries bore fruit in material, not only for this general essay on the Jew, but for an Appendix dealing with the alleged rite of Human Sacrifice among the Sephardím or Eastern Jews, and more especially the mysterious murder of Padre Tomaso at Damascus in 1840. There is little doubt that his inquiry into these subjects was one of the reasons which aroused the hostility of the Damascus Jews against him; and that hostility was a powerful factor, though by no means the only one, in his recall by Lord Granville in 1871.

Burton, however, had collected a mass of material before he left Damascus, and in 1873, the year after he had been appointed Consul at Trieste, he began to put it into shape for publication. It was his habit to collect for many years the material of a work, to mark, learn, and inwardly digest it, and then write it in a few months. This plan he pursued with The Jew, which, with the Appendix before mentioned, was finished and ready for publication towards the end of 1874. In 1875 he came home from Trieste on leave, and brought the book with him, intending to publish it forthwith. But first he asked an influential friend, who was highly placed in the official world, to read the MS., and give him his opinion as to the expediency of publishing it. That opinion was adverse, owing to the anti-Semitic tendency of the book. Other friends also pointed out to Burton that, so long as he remained in the service of the Government of a country where the Jews enjoy unprecedented power and position, it would be unwise, to say the least of it, for him to make enemies of them. These arguments had weight with Burton, who was not as a rule influenced by anything but his own will, and for once he deemed discretion the better quality, and returned with his MS. to Trieste.

There were other considerations too. His wife had just brought out her Inner Life of Syria, which was partly devoted to a defence of his action at Damascus in the matter of the Jews. It had met with a very favourable reception. His friends were also endeavouring to obtain for him a K.C.B. and the post of Tangier, Morocco—the one thing he stayed in the Consular Service in the hope of obtaining. So the time (1875) was not deemed a propitious one for making enemies.

Burton put his MS. on the shelf, and waited for the promotion which never came. It remained there until 1886, when Tangier, which was as good as promised to Burton, was given by Lord Rosebery to Sir William Kirby-Green. Then Burton took down the MS. on The Jew again, and had it recopied. But his wife, who was endeavouring to obtain permission for him to retire on full pension, pointed out to him that since it had waited so long it might as well wait until March, 1891, when, his term of service being finished, they would retire from official life and be free to publish what they liked. Foreover, they numbered many friends among the wealthy Jews of Trieste, and had no wish to wound their susceptibilities. Burton reluctantly agreed to this, but declared his determination of publishing the book as soon as he had retired from the Consular Service. Five months before the date of his retirement he died.

Lady Burton had The Jew next on her list for publication at the time of her death. In publishing it now, therefore, one is only carrying out her wishes and those of her husband. But in the exercise of the discretion given to me, I have thought it better to hold over for the present the Appendix on the alleged rite of Human Sacrifice among the Sephardím and the murder of Padre Tomaso.

The only alternative was to publish it in a mutilated form; and as I hold strongly that no one has a right to mutilate the work of another writer, least of all of one who is dead, I prefer to withhold it until a more convenient season. I can do this with a clearer conscience, because the Appendix has no direct bearing on the other part of the book, and because the chapters on The Jew which are retained are by far the more important. The tone of even this portion is anti-Semitic; but I do not feel justified in going contrary to the wishes of the author and suppressing an interesting ethnological study merely to avoid the possibility of hurting the susceptibilities of the Hebrew community. It has been truly said, “Every nation gets the Jew it deserves,” and it may well be that the superstitions and cruelties of the Eastern Jews have been generated in them by long centuries of oppression and wrong. From these superstitions and cruelties the enlightened and highly favoured Jews in England naturally shrink with abhorrence and repudiation; but it does not therefore follow they have no existence among their less fortunate Eastern brethren.

You can download the redacted version published by Hutchinson at the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/details/TheJewTheGypsyAndElIslam). You can find a fascimile version at http://www.burtoniana.org/books/1898-The%20Jew,%20The%20Gypsy%20and%20El%20Islam/index.htm. The manuscript at Christies is still not available as nobody has come forward to publish it and make it public.

The other important reference in the book was General Tlass’ Matzos of Zion.

General Tlass was an ally of Syrian strongman Hafez Assad. (His son recently defected to the West. Interesting, isn’t it?)

I also came across a YouTube clip from a Oprah Winfrey show where a Jewish woman claimed to have family members who practiced child sacrifice. Both she and Oprah took care to tell people that this was not typical of all Jews.

The woman, originally identified as Rachel, is now known as Vicki Polin. She claimed that child sacrifices were going on all over the country and that the people involved appeared like normal people to the outside world. The Conspirazzi website has a full transcript (http://www.conspirazzi.com/vicki-polin-jewish-satanic-ritual-abuse-survivor/). It seems that in the aftermath of the airing of this video, the woman was labelled as an mental case. Vicki Polin has started an organization named The Awareness Center (http://theawarenesscenter.blogspot.com) and also writes for the Examiner.com (http://www.examiner.com/sexual-abuse-9-in-chicago/vicki-polin). Her Twitter (https://twitter.com/vickipolin) web page led me to a recent incident where children of Jewish Holocaust were specifically targeted by pedophiles at a prominent New York Jewish school. Officials at the school dissuaded the victims against telling their parents, as they “had already suffered through so much.” (Yeshiva University High School former students file $380 million sex abuse lawsuit; 12 July 2013; http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/yeshiva-university-high-school-students-file-380-million-sex-abuse-lawsuit-article-1.1393327#ixzz2Z1UsjzpK)

In summary, it seems that Jewish blood rituals have nothing to do with worshipping the devil. It is a practical scheme with which lay Jews can be collectively criminalized and the Jewish top order projected as their saviour. That is how the conspiracy survives generations.
