I don't know much about Jacob Schiff, but I plan to learn more. I therefore cannot yet argue with the factual content of this article, but the language is blatantly biased.

To call Schiff a traitor to America and an anti-Semite within the first paragraph, when he helped fund Japan's war against the anti-Semitic tsars who allowed & encouraged pogroms is just inappropriate, if not entirely inaccurate. I intend to do all I can to change the language of this article, if not the 'facts', to something more objective.

[edit] Conspiracy!?

Now that I have finished reading the article, I feel it quite necessary that I look into more about Jacob Schiff. I find it unbelievable that Schiff, the Rothchilds and others would have been involved in a conspiracy to control the American banks, to choose a president, and to fund Hitler. Either there's something very few of us know about going on here, or the author(s) of this article mistakenly believes in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or something. This sounds like one of those Area 51, Freemasons gov't conspiracy sort of things. Absurd.

LOL yeah right, what an absurd thing to suggest....I fear for the idiots of the world!

Area 51, Freemanons gov't conspiracy sort of things - LOL

Jews run just about everything from the US govt, international banks, global economy etc, you idiot!

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the future controls the past." (Orwell 1984)

Who controls the Federal Reserve? It is a private company owned by member banks. And who controls the banks? I bet 99.99% of people in the world don't know that it is a private company, and the people who set it up in 1913 are the Warburgs, Schiffs, Roshshilds. But shhhh. Don't tell anybody. The world government has not yet be set up completely. There are still five countries left whos Central Banks are not controlled by the crew: Iran, North Korea, Lybia, Cuba, Sudan. --Jparu 02:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conspiracy section needs to be rewritten?

Seems more like a defense of him, rather than an encyclopediac statement of facts. Chad Hennings 22:31, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

This is due in part to the fact that the previous version of the article was wholly factually untrue, and I was trying to rewrite from that. It is also due to the fact that the allegations often made against him are so absurd as to deserve this sort of treatment. If there is anything I've written which you feel is untrue, feel free to change it. As long as you do not change the language so that it lends credence to the false accusations of conspiracy theories... LordAmeth 22:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Order of the Rising Sun

An anonymous user just changed the article from reading that Schiff was "one of the first foreigners to be conferred the Order of the Sacred Treasures" to "the first foreigner to be conferred the Order of the Rising Sun." Is this true? I don't think I would have written the former if my sources hadn't said this was so; can anyone corroborate that the latter (the new version) is the correct one?
