Only in this way does one begin to understand fully the
very significant revolution of the Jewish Council of 29 June, 1 869,
in Leipzig: "The Synod recognises that the development and
realisation of the modern principles are the most secure guarantees
for the present and future of Jewry and their supporters. They are
the very first vital conditions for the expansive development of
Jewry". Intriguing Freemasonry and Orthodoxy go hand in hand
and we witness the strange spectacle that the most conservative

The fact of Freemasonry and Jewish rule has, as the above
remarks show, been examined and studied by many men; even
newspapers of earlier times dared from time to time to sigh over it.
Thus, for instance, the Miinchener historische Blatter, in the year
1 862: "The power that the Jews were able to obtain with the help of
Freemasonry has reached its zenith. There is a secret society with
Masonic forms which is subject to unknown leaders. The members
of this association are mainly Jews". 279
But these and other timid attempts to revolt did not help.
For, the Masonic-Jewish press had the monopoly and could afford
