Robert Edward Edmondson (1872 in Dayton, Ohio – 1959) was an anti-Jewish pamphleteer and a defendant in the Great Sedition Trial of 1944. He was an organizer of the Pan-Aryan Conference.〔The Berlin Observer (US military occupation paper), May 31, 1946〕 Edmondson had roots that went back to the colonial days of Virginia and Maryland and was primarily of Scottish descent. He saw himself as a nonpartisan patriot and referred to himself as a "Native American". ==Career== Edmondson had a 40-year career as a reporter, editor, author and publisher on economics. He began his career as a journalist in Cincinnati, Ohio working as a reporter for the Cincinnati ''Post''. Later he moved to New York City and became a financial reporter for the New York Herald and the ''New York Mail and Express''. While in New York he became aware of what he came to believe was the Jewish manipulation of America’s economy and started an independent financial news outlet, the Edmondson Economic Service.〔Guide to the Hollis Godfrey papers〕 At this time he also became friendly with Nazi propagandist Ulrich Fleischhauer and was a participant in the latter's ''Welt-Dienst/World-Service'' anti-Jewish news service. Edmondson believed President Franklin D. Roosevelt to be Jewish and published the flier ''Roosevelt’s Jewish Ancestry'' to make his case. His attacks on Roosevelt during the 1936 election campaign suggested that the President was under the control of Jews such as Bernard Baruch, Felix Frankfurter and Louis Brandeis.〔Henry L. Feingold, ''A Time for Searching'', 1995, p. 216〕 In a series of essays called ''American Vigilante Bulletins'' which eventually numbered over 400,〔John Roy Carlson, ''Under Cover'', p. 146.〕 Edmondson in the 1930s and 1940s documented what he saw as the Jewish control of America in banking, the press and the media. His research〔 was the forerunner to ''Who Rules America?'' written and distributed decades later by Dr. William L. Pierce. In 1953 he republished some of his bulletins in a book, ''I Testify''. Edmondson was also a strong anti-communist and much of his writing centered around the idea that fluoride in water was part of a communist conspiracy, as well as other plots attributed to communists.〔Hans Toch, ''The Social Psychology of Social Movements'', p. 66.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Edward Edmondson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
