"The International Jew" Study Hour - Episode 74

Nov. 21, 2013

Hadding Scott and Carolyn Yeager read and comment on Chapter 69, "Arnold and His Jewish Aides at West Point.”

The story of Benedict Arnold's treasonous act at West Point with British Major John Andre (pictured right); Arnold's escape to a British ship while his aides Major David Solesbury Franks and  Lt. Col. Richard Varick were arrested and later defended each other's innocence in court. Both were exonerated but only Varick rightly so. Other points of interest:

• Another member of the Franks family, Col. Issac Franks, turned up in charge of supplies at West Point;
• Jew David Franks of Philadelphia, supplier to the American army, was also arrested, but managed to get away with being deported out the country (and then took his own sweet time in leaving!);
• David Solesbury Franks retained his rank, but eventually the true patriots within the army and government succeeded in "retiring" him with 400 acres of land;
• D.S. Franks is used by Jews up till today as the representative of the Jew in Revolutionary times, and extravagantly praised.
