rymenhildWhile innocently searching the Web for information regarding Thomas Aquinas' perspective on usury, I discovered the following piece of … analysis, courtesy of a discussion board at the Stormfront White Nationalist Community:
Usury is, in fact, as Ezra Pound wrote, against the law – of natural increase… just like sodomy.
The source can be found here: http:// www. storm front .org /archive/t-137903 Thomas_Aquinas _on_Usury .html. I have not linked directly, and have inserted spaces into the website address, in order to avoid raising the page's Google rank.
Interestingly, this particular page doesn't mention Jews at all, although other discussions of usury on the greater website do. I wonder if the writers assume that the connection between Jews and usury is known to all the site's readers. If so, the Stormfront authors would be making a neat little chain. Judaism, usury, the unnatural and sodomy all go together in one rejected category.
The other curious thing I found when, against my better judgment, I continued perusing the site, was a suggestion that Jews for Jesus are an evil proselytising cult … aimed at converting Christians to Judaism. Now, that's a new perspective. Link here: http:// www. storm front .org/ archive / t-152157 jewish_group_actively_recruiting .html
