----Benjamin Freedman's FULL 1961 speech at the Willard Hotel in Washington D.C.----

-Posted for Historical and Educational purposes.

"Benjamin H. Freedman was one of the most intriguing and amazing individuals of the 20th
century.

He was born in 1890 in New York City, and was a successful Jewish businessman, serving as the principal owner of the Woodbury Soap Company.

He had a falling away with his own community after the victory of the allied forces over the German Reich in 1945, and spent the remainder of his life and the great preponderance of his considerable fortune, at least 2.5 million dollars, exposing the tyranny which he believed had enveloped the United States.

Mr. Freedman is considered a credible and reliable source, because he had been an insider at the highest levels of several Jewish organizations of the time, and was personally acquainted with:
Bernard Baruch, Samuel Untermyer, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Joseph Kennedy, and John F.
Kennedy himself.

This speech was given before an audience in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., on behalf of
Conde McGinley’s patriotic newspaper of that time, Common Sense.

Though in some minor ways this wide-ranging
and extemporaneous speech has become dated, Mr. Freedman’s essential message to us — his warning to the
West — is more urgent than ever before."
