J.R.R. Tolkien: Lover of Jews, Hater of the German People

J.R.R. Tolkien: What right hast thou?
J.R.R. Tolkien: What right hast thou?

What with the new movie out, it seems appropriate to comment on Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit writer J.R.R. Tolkien’s love for the Jewish parasite, and his aggression toward the valiant, noble German Reich.

Firstly, I will note that I read the Hobbit as a boy, and enjoyed it quite a bit, but when I attempted to read the LotR trilogy, found myself too bored to make it through the second book (The Twin Towers).  I think that, largely, the books are good, in that they deal fairly with Norse myth, and present a generally positive message for the kids.  Of course, novel reading is a dead art, so it doesn’t much matter now.

Still, the Germans were well within their rights to question the racial identity of Tolkien, in that they did not want to have any Jewish filth slipped into the mind of the youth.

In 1938, after having been in discussions regarding a German translation of the Hobbit, the German publisher Rütten & Loening asked for confirmation of Tokien’s Aryan heritage.  This upset the poor old chap, and he wrote the following to his friend and publisher Stanley Unwin:

I must say the enclosed letter from Rütten & Loening is a bit stiff. Do I suffer this impertinence because of the possession of a German name, or do their lunatic laws require a certificate of arisch origin from all persons of all countries?

Personally, I should be inclined to refuse to give any Bestätigung (although it happens that I can), and let a German translation go hang. In any case I should object strongly to any such declaration appearing in print. I do not regard the (probable) absence of all Jewish blood as necessarily honourable; and I have many Jewish friends, and should regret giving any colour to the notion that I subscribed to the wholly pernicious and unscientific race-doctrine.

You are primarily concerned, and I cannot jeopardize the chance of a German publication without your approval. So I submit two drafts of possible answers.

You read that correctly.  Even in 1938, this chap had the nerve to call scientific racism “unscientific.”

Apparently, he never saw this:

German Boy, Jewish Boy
German Boy, Jewish Boy

Though it is unclear which letter the publisher sent, the first draft was one ignoring request entirely, and the second was this:

Dear Sirs,

Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject – which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.

Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung.

Here you can see that Tolkien was not merely a cheeky and pretentious Englishman, but also a lover of the Jews.

He would later go on to refer to Adolf Hitler as a “ruddy little ignoramus,” and support the total destruction of the German nation by the sickening Jews.

He is Magneto and Gandolf and also a homo.

Ian McKellen, the homosexual actor who plays the wizard Gandolf in the films, has said that Sauron is really Hitler: “What is Sauron? I would think of Hitler. He’s the great evil force of our time, and certainly of Tolkien’s.”

I would have expected that weird gay bastard to have a bit more depth to him.  Referring to complex political situations as having resulted from “evil persons” is weak, even if you are against National Socialism because you are a weird old queer.

Sauron: He represents Hitler.
