As neither he nor you provide any evidence for your assertions we can only credit it with the honesty and integrity he shows as a person.
I can understand your position and it is valid if Springmeier was ad libbing. But as you noted, Russell being Jewish is not critically significant to this reference. In a way, though, it's IRONY.
But CASE IN POINT: My information was being doubted regarding Russell simply being a Jew since everything I was claiming was presumed to be inaccurate, when in fact, my reference to Russell being a Jew did not come from my delusional state but was a research reference which has to stand on it's own merit. But likewise, whehter Springmeier invented this information or is simply quoting the facts which he then uses for his own argument is entirely dependent upon the detail here. Most conspirators take the facts and then use them in their own context. Question is was Springmeier inflating the historical bloodline of Russell and his family being Jewish, or is this something that was common knowledge from another reference.
Additionally, this is not the only reference I saw regarding Russell being Jewish. In another anti-Jewish, anti-Freemason reference (I might be able to find it) it said BOTH Russell and Rutherford were Jewish. That was the first I'd heard of that and I believe led me to do some research at which time I came across the elaboration by Springmeier about the family tree, etc, which by the way his being Jewish seems only incidental here. I could not confirm that Rutherford was Jewish and so I just have that one reference.
If I come up with something more definite I will. Your point is well taken. However, I think my position is valid to contradict Funky D's presumption that I was simply lying about Russell being Jewish when he at least could have checked out that detail before simply dismissing it, especially in the absence of anyone else directly contradicting this point about Russell or providing some other family tree information. Or perhaps my only point is I did not originate that possibility--it did come from another reference, however, questionable.
A final point of reference, MY OPINION, is that information about Illuminati activities or the like is usually to inform their own members or others actually participating in the secret socities and rarely to whistle-blow on these secret societies. Thus posing as an opposing "but crazy" person is often how this is done...and it's "very Jewish". Is Springmeier Jewish too?
In a way, I'm doing the same thing and so is God, allegedly. Christ is suppose to arrive 'in the clouds" and "as a thief" and all that. If too many people believed me then I couldn't get anything done and I'd lose my privacy. By staying in the potential category of being insane or crazy or ridiculous I basically can say what I want and only the people who really need the information anyway will understand it's valid. That is, I don't encourage it, but probably do a little "courting" of the insanity, even now (like publishing recent pictures of myself in drag...just as a few borderliners were about to believe, right?) So I wouldn't put it past Springmeier sensationalizing his personal behavior and background to create an escape clause for most people from paying attention to the details of his research. In fact, maybe the Illuminati SELECTED someone with his background to do just that, publish the details they needed published by a crazy person or a person without credibility so that the masses wouldn't know the difference, but the insiders would--the information is still there. It's part of "hiding in plain sight".
ACTS 13:41 "Behold it, you scorners, and wonder at it, and vanish away, because I am working a work in your days, a work that you will by NO MEANS BELIEVE even if anyone relates it to you in detail."
Christ at the second coming arrives as a STONE OF STUMBLING for the non-believers. He's designed as a sieve, to keep as many undeserving people OUT of the kingdom as providing room for those "gems of the earth" whom he wants in the kingdom.
