Obsession with Anti-Semitism

The Winrod Letter and Our Savior’s church have offered for sale a number of virulently anti-Semitic books including The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, The Talmud Unmasked, Jewish Ritual Murder, and The International Jew. Also offered are books by Winrod’s late father, Gerald B. Winrod, such as The Jewish Assault on Christianity published in 1935. Moreover, Winrod’s Our Savior’s Church has been the source of anti-Semitic tracts such as "Freemasonry: Jewish Front" and "Wake-up America." The latter tract alleged that Jews "started Communism," "control the money," "publish and distribute all pornography" "make the money off all liquor, dope and wars," and "control all politics by the power of money."

Issue after issue of Winrod’s monthly, The Winrod Letter, which has proclaimed itself as "the world’s foremost militant Christian publication," has promoted anti-Semitism. The October 1990 issue, for example, stated: "The Jews, the conspiratorial international Sect of the Pharisees, are the workers of the world system of anti-Christ. They are the creators and workers of Communism. As they work through their fronts, from behind the scenes, the great lie of the Jews is that they are God’s people of the Book, and that those Christians who kept the Jews down and out of power for a thousand years... are the kingdom of anti-Christ!"

The November 1993 issue of The Winrod Letter was entitled "The International Jew." It stated in part: "The Jewish secret world government of anti-Christ is MYSTERY BABYLON, controlling the money, media and governments of the world from behind the scenes, with the goal of death-dealing, terroristic world dictatorship, soon to be revealed openly, with every ‘Jew a King,’ and every ‘goy a slave,’ as they say."

Winrod began a 1993 tract headed "‘Anti-Semitic"’ with the following diatribe: "The Jews murdered Jesus, the Prophets, and the Apostles. Socialism and Communism are Jewish. The Jews have butchered, burned and bled Christians down through the centuries. Jewish drinking of warm Christian blood, in their Jewish Ritual Murder of Christians, was crowning cause of expulsion of Jews from nation after nation. Jews make all wars. Jews deprave society, deriving financial gain from their crime, movies, pornography, dope, liquor, and tobacco: Jews control the money, media, and thus, all politics and all governments. Americans have yet to learn about the Jews."

In the July 1994 issue of The Winrod Letter, Winrod charged that "The Deicidal Jews know that Jesus, God of Life, has foreordained them to eternal death, damnation; therefore, in resulting hatred for Him, unable to kill Him again, their first lust is MURDER to destroy all mankind and all life." He added: "Nothing else, only this Scriptural truth, explains the cause and purpose of the Secret Jewish World Government, and life’s hidden mysteries. Due to ignorance of this truth all nations are being obliterated." He went on to say: "We are now in the concluding years of the transitional democratic calendar. Secret will disappear from Secret World Government. Democracy will suddenly vanish; Jewish Dictatorship will survive."

Writing in the August 1995 issue of the newsletter, Winrod charged: "To the Jew there is a class war between two classes of people, the Jew class and the all-others class. This war will continue, and there will be no peace for the Jew, until there is only one remaining class, the Jew class." He added: "All Jews, regardless of external political brand, aim at the same final goal, i.e., the annihilation and extinction, the bloody depopulation of all non-Jews!"
