THE FRANKLIN PROPHECY
Recorded by Charles CoteworthPinckney
Delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1787
(This prophecy, by Benjamin Franklin,was made in a "CHIT CHAT AROUND THE
TABLE DURING INTERMISSION,"at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention of
1787. This statementwas recorded in the dairy of Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney, a delegatefrom South Carolina.)
"I fully agree with General Washington, that we mustprotect this young
nation from an insidious influence and impenetration.The menace, gentlemen,
is the Jews.
"In whatever country Jews have settled in any greatnumber, they have lowered
its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated
themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to
undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation is founded, by
objecting to its restrictions;have built up a state within the state; and
when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in
the case of Spain and Portugal.
