Ben Klassen's Dutch Mennonite Lineage

[Chuck]

In response to assorted fruitcakes on the web - particularly the Net'Tards over at judicial-inc.biz - who jabber on and on about "Ben Klassen was secretly a jew", I can do no better than quote PM Klassen himself on his family line:

3 There are some (White people) who claim I am a Jew, I must be a Jew, and perhaps both a Jew and a devil, and that Klassen is a Jewish name.

In answer to the above, I can categorically state that (a) I am not a devil, and (b) I am not a Jew. The devil part is, of course, so silly I need not spend further time on it. The Jewish accusation is equally stupid, but since it has such vicious implications I will spend further time on it.

My ancestors both on my mother's side and on my father's side were Mennonites of unmixed White ancestry for at least the last four hundred years, originating out of Holland. In the 1700's a segment of Mennonites (due to religious persecution) migrated to what was then Prussia. Since the Mennonites were both industrious and also raised large families, they multiplied and took over more and more territory in that state.

The Mennonites also had (and still have) a strange little hang- up in their religion about being opposed to going to war and killing other people. They are dedicated PACIFISTS. This did not sit too well with the then militaristic minded Prussians, and new persecutions ensued. A major segment of my Prussian ancestors then decided to move to a fertile area of the Ukraine just north of the Black Sea. This they did in about the year 1804, and Katherine the Great, who was eager to settle these empty areas with industrious, hardworking farmers, invited them in, even signing a pact with them that gave them special compensations, waiving any obligations of having to serve in the military.

The colony my ancestors settled in was called the Molotschna Colony, located on the banks of a river of the same name. Here they prospered and multiplied, two areas in which they were amazingly adept. My paternal grandfather and grandmother had 14 children, of which twelve lived to adulthood, and all, I believe, raised families of their own.

This was the situation in 1914 when World War I broke out. The colony had prospered, the Mennonites in Molotschna numbered 30,000 souls in 50 towns or villages. When the communists took over in 1917, all hell broke loose and the Mennonites were completely unprepared to defend themselves from the marauding criminals that were let loose upon them. Many were killed, some died of starvation during the planned famine of 1921-22, some migrated to other countries.

The latter is what my father did in 1924. Without going into more detail about the Mennonites and my personal history which I have briefly covered in Chapter 22, Part II, Page 455 of NATURE'S ETERNAL RELIGION entitled "My Own Spiritual Awakening", suffice it to say that my ancestors were White, Protestant Mennonites, who carefully kept their genealogy clean, and there is not a Jew, a nigger or an Indian anywhere in my bloodlines, at least not for the last 400 years.

Now before some swine again rises up (I am using Herbert Hoover's words) and accuses me of being a Jew, I suggest that he, she or it first put up a $1000.00 security to cover a bet that I can prove otherwise, and I will put up my own $1000.00. A late uncle of mine, bless him, devoted a lot of time and researched and compiled an extensive genealogy of the Klassen family. I have a copy of it. I also have copies of numerous official documents, such as passports, (including my father's) church documents, family albums and a mass of other evidence, all of which confirms my White Protestant Mennonite ancestry. If that is not enough, I still have any number of living cousins, nieces, nephews and other relatives in Canada and the United States who can back up my statements, and would not take lightly to the inference that we might be Jews.

So, to the next swine that makes the accusation I say — put your money where your mouth is, or shut up. Klassen is a good Dutch and Mennonite name and has been for many centuries.

There you have it, folks.  It doesn't get any plainer than that.

I enjoyed reading Klassen's letter. I admire the Mennonite/Amish way of life, although I'm not an extreme pacifist like them. I believe and understand a pacifist lifestyle but I believe in self defense, not aggression for profit. I guess I couldn't join them unless I was dishonest. I always thought they had the best model on how we should live.

I just think there is a large gap between the Mennonite/Amish and our warrior class of Americans of Western European descent like the Celtic/Germanic who are fighting these wars of aggression for Judeo-Freemasonry. I would like to see the warrior class stop fighting these senseless wars. We have never benefited from them, we lose more freedom with every war. I would never fight for them.

Good to see you here John.   

Back in the 70s, my family was a kitchen table discussion away from moving to an Amish community.  Thankfully, my father was talked out of the idea.  My parents did, however, keep in touch with the Amish and Mennonite communities throughout Michigan, Indiana and Ohio since then.

The one thing that the Amish and Mennonites can teach us is how to build close-knit healthy communities.

Thanks Smoke, What I admire about them is how they successfully boxed out the Jews and controlled their own economic system where they are guaranteed never to be swindled. And look at their social ways, they don't allow other people to dictate how they should dress, or dance, or what music to listen to.

That is definitely a model for us, I like a honest simple lifestyle and a good day's work. I do not care for the hustle and bustle of the 'rat race' to end up with nothing. The Jewish system is not good for people who are not Jewish.

We need a cultural system that boxes them out. I remember someone saying we should never have allowed them in our country, but I disagree since it would be practically impossible. Pragmatically we should do what the Kings did to them..never allow them any positions of power over us. Keep them out by not supporting the vices they hurl at us. Recognize them for what they are and separate from them in every way, on a model like the Amish/Mennonites have done for over three hundred years.

Wasn't the "jewish ancestory" hoax a sick product of Covington's Talmudic imagination?
