They're trying to exterminate our race. I think, probably in a moral sense, the Jewish people have been a blight. I mean as a whole, not every Jew.

I think the best thing is to resettle them in someplace where they can't exploit others. And I don't think they can live among themselves, I really don't.

Realize that the Silence offers an ever available and almost unlimited opportunity for awakening the highest conception of Truth.
