You know, it's been a little while. It's been at least two months. It's been too long since I've been on a.

professional and interesting program. Bird. I'm sorry, Bird. It's good to be back. Yeah, yeah. All right, so I reached out. I was going through Ron Unz's American Providence series, and I found this article. It was the second time I've read it. And I was like, you know, this really needs to be read on the show, considering also that I'm reading 200 years together with Matthew Raphael, Dr. Matthew Raphael, Johnson, which just really concentrates on one aspect of Russian history, but this starts nailing down the revolution

itself. And there is no one else I wanted to have on because, I mean, I don't know that I've ever like talked to somebody who even calls themselves like a communist or a Marxist, who knows as much about Marxism and communism or who can actually play one on the internet as well as you do. Oh, I love it. Yes, I am still an avowed Marxist-Leninist, and it's been a strange journey, but here I am on the Pete Kinyana's show, yet again. I remember when we were reading a reading the state and revolution. Everybody's like, why are you reading this? It's like, oh, just wait. Yeah, yep, just wait. We must be doing something, right? All right. So this is something that he dropped on July 23rd, 2018.

6,900 words. Nice. It's from his American Provda series. If you have not read it, if it's like, oh, this just seems like too big a task, just go to the ones that are surrounding World War II and start reading. Or he has audio on the website, and you can download that. I listen to it at 1.75 speed because Mr. Unz does talk very slowly and deliberately.

But this one is titled, The Bolshevik Revolution and its aftermath. And for those who are not watching, there's a postage stamp of Leon Trotsky, real name, Lev Davidovich, Bronstein. And it's a 100th anniversary of the Bolshek and Big Revolution stamp that came out in 2017. I think that was in Russia? He's got a good head of hair. Yeah. Reminds me of that old Seinfeld episode.

you're when George is trying to find something to grow hair and he gets some Chinese guy. He finds out there's some Chinese cure. And he calls China, but he can't talk to anybody. He goes, they're Chinese. So the delivery guy who's Chinese gets on the phone and just starts talking to the guy. And he's like, hey, hey, ask me if you can grow hair.

And the guy goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you grow hair. You look like Stalin. Who had a great head of hair. And also looked like a male model. as a young man as he was robbing stage coaches. Handsome dude, lady killer. Yeah, Paul. All right, let's start reading this.

Stop me whenever, man. Although I always had a great interest in history, I naively believed when I read in my textbooks and therefore regarded American history is just too bland and boring to study. Many such cases. Yeah. It's insane how your high school history

classes just numb three-quarters of the students in it. Yeah, it's meant to do that. A really good history book, if you want to start with American history, Tom Woods' politically incorrect guide to American history is actually very good. Love them. Yep. By contrast, one land I found especially fascinating was China, the world's most populous country and its oldest continuous civilization with a tangled modern history of revolutionary

upheaval. suddenly reopened to the West during the Nixon administration and under Deng's economic reforms starting to reverse decades of Maoist economic failure. I know someone who had a profile pick of Deng, who was a... Yeah, Dark Maga, Deng Xiaoping. He's an inspiration. He's an inspiration, yeah. In 1978, I took a UCLA graduate seminar on the rural Chinese political economy and probably read 30 or 40 books during that semester. Can you imagine? Can you imagine having the time to do that?

I couldn't. I can read all those books under a highway bridge if that was my job. That's a callback from long ago. E.O. Wilson Seminole Sociobiology, the new synthesis, had just been published a couple of years earlier, reviving the field after decades of harsh ideological suppression, and with his ideas in the back of my mind, I couldn't help noticing the obvious implications of the material I was reading. The Chinese had always seemed a very smart people in the structure of China's traditional rural peasant economy produced social Darwinist selective pressure so thick that you could cut it with a knife,

thus providing a very elegant explanation of how the Chinese got that way. A couple of years later in college, I wrote up my third. theory while studying under Wilson and then decades afterward, dug it out again, finally publishing my analysis as how social Darwinism made modern China. With the Chinese people clearly having such tremendous inherent talent and their potential already demonstrated on a much smaller scale in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, I believe there was an excellent chance that Deng's reforms would unleash enormous economic growth. And sure enough, that's what that was exactly what happened.

In the late 1970s, China was poorer than Haiti, but I always told my friends that it might come to dominate the world economically within a couple of generations, and though most of them were initially quite skeptical of such an outrageous claim, every few years they became a little less so. The economists had long been my favorite magazine, and in 1986, they published an especially long letter of mine, emphasizing the tremendous rising potential of China

and urging them to expand their coverage with the new Asia section. The following year, they did exactly that. Yep. From the 80s onward, even until now, it's going to be the Chinese century. Kind of hard to argue. Kind of hard to argue against that, especially when you have the world's quote-unquote superpower sending all their manufacturing there. Yeah, yep. But when it collapses, it will be spectacular.

Like fireworks levels spectacular. These days I feel tremendous humiliation for having spent most of my life being so totally wrong about so many things for so long, and I claim to China as a very welcome exception. I can't think of a single development during the last 40 years that I wouldn't have generally expected back in the late 1970s, with the only surprise having been the total lack of surprises. About the only revision I've had to make in my historical framework is that I'd always casually accepted the ubiquitous claim that Mao's disastrous great leap forward of 1959 to 61 had caused 35 million or more deaths, but I recently encountered some serious doubts

suggesting that such a total could be considerably exaggerated, and today I might admit the possibility that only 15 million or fewer had died. I love how you writes that. But although I always had a great interest in China, European history was even more fascinating to me with a political interplay of so many conflicting states in the huge ideological and military upheavals of the 20th century. In my unjustified arrogance, I also sometimes relished a sense of seeing obvious things that magazine and newspaper journalists got so completely wrong, mistakes which often slipped into historical narratives as well. For example, discussions of the

Titanic 20th century military struggles between Germany and Russia quite often made casual references to the traditional hostility between those two great peoples, who for centuries had stood as bitter rivals representing the eternal struggle of Slav against Tutank, for dominion over Eastern Europe. And he does a really good job following this, explaining why that is completely incorrect. Although the bloodstained history of the two world wars

made that notion seem obvious, it was factually mistaken. prior to 1914, those two great peoples had not fought against each other for the previous 150 years, and even the seven years war of the mid-18th century had involved a Russian alliance with Germanic Austria against Germanic Prussia, hardly amounting to a conflict along civilizational lines. Russians and Germans had been staunch allies during the endless Napoleonic wars, closely cooperated during the Metterich and Bismarck eras that followed, While even as late as 1904, Germany has supported Russia and its unsuccessful war against Japan.

Later, why Mark, Dr. Johnson says that he really considers that war. If he really studied it, it's like a draw. Oh, the Russian-Rousseau-Japanese War. Yeah. Instead, if you study it a little more closely and look at it politically, it's really a draw. It was a draw, but it also solidified Japan's place as a colonial power. it definitely gave them legitimacy

gave them legitimacy but also gave them confidence to do some heinous fucking shit oh yeah you catch them in the corner of your eye distinctive by design they move you

Trump on Dunbioghkush Farage. Later, Weimar, Germany and Soviet Russia had a period of close military cooperation during the 1920s. Stalin Pact of 1939 marked the beginning of the Second World War, and during the long Cold War, the USSR had no more loyal a satellite than East Germany, the real Germany. Well, I mean, think about it.

What are the most, what sections of Germany right now reject modernism more than any other? Yeah, it's East Germany. And I'm sure if any Germans were left in Prussia, it would be that too. perhaps two dozen years of hostilities over the last three centuries, with good relations and even outright alliance during most of the remainder, hardly suggested that Russians and Germans were hereditary enemies. Moreover, through much of that period, Russia's ruling elite had had a considerable Germanic tinge. Russia's legendary Catherine the Great had been a German princess by birth, and over the century, so many Russian rulers had taken German wives. that the later Tsars of the Romanov dynasty were usually more German than Russian. Russia itself had a substantial but heavily assimilated German population,

which was very well represented in elite political circles, with German names being quite common among government ministers and sometimes found among important military commanders. Even a top leader of the Decembrist revolt of the early 19th century had had German ancestry but was a zealous Russian nationalist in his ideologist. Where did I go? There we go. Under the governance of this mixed Russian and German ruling class, the Russian Empire had steadily risen to become one of the world's foremost powers. Indeed, given its vast size, manpower and resources, combined with one of the fastest world's fastest economic

growth rates and a natural increase in total population that was not far behind, a 1914 observer might have easily pegged it to soon dominate the European continent and perhaps even much of the world, just as Tocqueville had famously prophesized in the early decades of the 19th century. A crucial underlying cause of the First World War was Britain's belief that only a preventative war could forestall a rising Germany, but I suspect that an important secondary cause was to parallel German notion that similar measures were necessary against arising Russia. Oh yeah, good old perfidious Albion. We need to maintain equality. Librium on the continent, even if it means killing millions of people.

Obviously, this entire landscape was totally transformed by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which swept the old order from power, massacring much of its leadership and forcing the remainder to flee, thereby ushering in the modern era of ideological and revolutionary regimes. I grew up during the final decades of the long Cold War when the Soviet Union stood as America's great international adversary, so the history of the revolution, and its aftermath, though, is fascinated me. During college and graduate school, I probably read at least 100 books on that general topic,

devouring the brilliant works of Solzhenits and Solokov, the thick historical volumes of mainstream academic scholars, such as Adam Ullam and Richard Pipes, as well as the writings of leading Soviet dissidents, such as Roy Medvedev, Andrei Sakharov, and Andrei Amalric. I was fascinated by the tragic story of how Stalin outmaneuvered Trotsky and his other rivals, leading to the massive purges of the 1930s as Stalin's growing paranoia produced such gigantic loss of life. The Great Purge started in, what, 1936? Yeah, well, I mean, I think most people would say, what, 36 to 39?

Yeah, yep. And what I never grasped, and maybe I just didn't research long. enough, but it seemed like it was a lot of Jews killing other Jews. And it really was just divided along ideological lines, Trotskyites, versus, I guess, what would later be known as Stalinists. What's interesting about 36 to 39 is they actually have officers in the field at that time in Spain. Yeah. And you have to wonder in that period if he sees, okay, maybe early on he's like, well,

I think it looks like the nationalists are going to win this. They're going to split the country. They're going to split the East Coast is what they did. And basically, it was over after that. I'm wondering if he just was like, it's going to take so much more to do what we want to do. I just need to get everyone that I think is in my way. I need to get them out of my way. Yeah, it would make sense that he would send Trotskyites to help the Spanish.

And this is also the time when he's looking and he's seeing what kind of what foreign groups are living in, like what diaspora groups are in his nation that have home countries. like Germans, Lithuanians, and others that he polls, especially, that, I mean, he just kills en masse. Yeah, yep. Yeah, and it also makes sense from an ideological perspective that Trotskyites would be more likely to volunteer in these brushfire wars in other countries, because their whole, their whole schick is, you know, we need permanent revolution for the world, whereas Stalin, I mean, the main point of contend, intention was, you know, we need to get our house in order before we talk about that. Yeah, maybe he looked at Spain and he saw the, um, just how many factions there were in Spain. And he felt that maybe that's why the, um, the, quote unquote, Republicans lost.

Yeah. And, you know, we, we need to get rid of any possible factions in this country. Yeah. Send them to the meat grinder. Why not? Yeah. I was not so totally naive. that I did not recognize some of the powerful taboos surrounding discussion of the Bolsheviks, particularly regarding their ethnic composition. Although most of the books hardly emphasized the point, anyone with a careful eye for the occasional sentence or paragraph would surely know that Jews were enormously overrepresented among the top revolutionaries, with three of Lenin's five potential successors, Trotsky, Zinoviev, and Kamenev, all coming from that background,

along with many, many others within the top communist leadership. Obviously... Whose assassination? Was it one of them whose assassination spurred the purges?

Oh, I don't... No, well, it definitely wasn't Trotsky. He was killed in Mexico. Yeah, it was... Fuck. I have it in my notes somewhere, but we can revisit that. Okay.

Obviously, this was wildly disproportionate in a country having a Jewish population of perhaps 4%, and surely helped explain the large spike in worldwide hostility toward Jews soon afterward, which sometimes took the most deranged and irrational forms, such as the popularity of the protocols of the learned elders of Zion, and Henry Ford's notorious publication of the international Jew.

Now, do not go comparing the protocols with Henry Ford, because anyone who's read that Henry Ford knows that those are, he is basically writing what he's seeing. I mean, that's just, he's writing these things in a newspaper. The protocols of Leonard Elders of Zion is something that, sure, it looks like it, it could have been a roadmap for something, and a lot of it came true, but we have no real, there's no real idea of who did. I mean, I've heard people say Benjamin Disraeli wrote it.

Yeah, I've, I've never read it. I've heard about it a lot in our studies, but I've never sat down and read it. But it makes sense that Henry Ford did read it, and I kind of informed his seemingly views that came out of nowhere. But with Russian Jews so much more likely to be educated and urbanized and suffering from fierce anti-Semitic oppression into the Tsars, everything seemed to make reasonable sense. it wasn't fierce. I'll tell you that. When you read Solchoniesin's other book, it wasn't fierce.

Yeah, I mean, starting with like when the Jews first met the Khazars and ended up converting them, and then they'd moved northwest and met the Kiev and Rus and impressed everybody with how great craftsmen and traders they were. It kind of oscillated between mean, we like you, we don't like you.

We like you so much. We want you to be in our, in our court, in our advisor, our royal advisors, and then swung the other way to, you're not allowed to trade with us. You're not allowed to own land. It's like looking at the history of Jews in Russia, it's, it oscillates leader to leader. Yeah, it seems like what is the say, what was the say in the Bible? Bible. A pharaoh was born who did not know of Joseph.

Yeah. Basically it was the next leader wasn't educated on this group of foreigners that were living in their land and they would give them, they would open up doors and allow them to be able to have a little more freedom and they immediately took advantage of it. And it was like,

okay, now we need to pull back on this. Yeah, like the 1500s, when, the whole Judea-Judeization heresy came about, the Orthodox Church was the law of the land at that time. And if it wasn't for them, you know, you might have a Jewish nation in Ukraine. Yeah. Well, we can talk about that later.

Trump on Dunbiog, Kush Farage. Then perhaps 14 or 15 years ago, I encountered a rip in my personal time-space continuum among the first of many to come. In this particular instance, an especially right-wing friend of evolutionary theorist Gregory Cochran, had been spending long days browsing the pages of Stormfront. A leading intranet forum for the far right, and having come across a remarkable factual claim, asked me for my opinion. allegedly Jacob Schiff, I've searched. I can't find a connection to Peter Schiff. People have asked before. I've looked.

It seems like Peter Schiff's family came here in the 30s. What does Schiff translate to? I don't know. I've never checked. It's probably some old German name that they stole. Allegedly, Jacob Schiff, Americans leading Jewish banker, had been the crucial financial supporter of the Bolshevik Revolution, providing the communist revolutionaries with 20 million in funding.

My first reaction was that such a notion was utterly ridiculous since a fact so enormously explosive could not have been ignored by the many dozens of books I had read on the origins of that revolution. No, man, it was completely organic. Grassroots. Why didn't all those guys with like similar last names put that in my textbooks? I don't, damn it. Or the level up from that is those evil Germans wanted to shut down their Eastern Front,

so they funded the revolution. But the source seemed extremely precise. The Knickerbacher columnist in the February 3rd, 1949 edition of the New York Journal American, then one of the leading local newspapers wrote that today it is estimated by Jacob's grandson, John Schiff, that the old man sank about $20 million for the final try and, of Bolshevism in Russia. What's that about $1 billion today? Oh, no, I think it's two.

I think he might mention here that it's two. Yeah, it would be about $2 billion in today's dollars. And he really wanted Bolshevism to take hold in Russia, huh? Wonder why. Yeah, you can do a lot with $2 billion. Yeah, especially back then. You could do a lot today, but I mean, you could do a whole lot more back then. Once I checked around a little, I discovered that numerous mainstream accounts

described the enormous hostility of shift toward the Tsarist regime for its ill-treatment of Jews. And these days, even so establishmentarian assources Wikipedia's entry on Jacob Schiff notes that he played a major role financing the Russian Revolution of 1905, as was revealed in the later memoirs of one of his key operatives. Yeah, the Russian Revolution in 1905, what else is allegedly happened in that year? There was a pogrom in Odessa, which was basically revolution. Jewish rising up and fighting. And then when the Russians fight back, we're being pogromed.

We're being pogromed. Yeah. Yep. That was kind of the first failed rebellion, right? Yeah. And they had more guns than the Russians did. Oh, I believe it. Yeah. And if you run a search on Jacob Schiff-Bulshevik Revolution, numerous other references came up,

representing a wide variety of different positions and degrees of credibility. One very interesting statement appears in the memoirs of Henry Wickham Steed, editor of the Times of London, and one of the foremost international journalists of his era. He very matter-of-factly mentions that Schiff, Warburg, and the other top Jewish international bankers were among the leading backers of the Jewish Bolsheviks, through whom they hoped to gain an opportunity for the Jewish exploitation of Russia, and he describes their lobbying efforts on behalf of their Bolshevik allies at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, following the end of the First World War. Man, that in-group preference.

Suicidal. Even the very recent and highly skeptical 2016 analysis in Kenneth D. Ackerman's 2016 book Trotsky in New York, 1917, notes that U.S. military intelligence reports of the period directly made that astonishing claim, pointing to Trotsky as a conduit for the heavy financial backing of Schiff and numerous other Jewish financiers. In 1925, this information was published in the British Guardian and was widely discussed and accepted throughout the 1920s and 1930s by numerous major media publications, long before Schiff's own grandson provided a direct confirmation of those facts in 1949.

Ackerman rather cavalierly dismisses all of this considerable contemporaneous evidence as anti-Semitic and a conspiracy story, arguing that since Schiff was a notorious, conservative who had never shown any sympathy for socialism in his own American milieu, he surely would not have funded the Bolsheviks. Despite all of those sources that Hans just named? Yeah, I mean, you have right now billionaire Jews financing, quote unquote, right-wing think tanks who like 18 months ago were pushing the trans agenda. full on full steam ahead. Yeah, who are they hoping to exploit?

Yeah. Now, admittedly, a few details might easily have gotten someone somewhat garbled over time. For example, although Trotsky quickly became second only to Lenin in the Bolshevik hierarchy, in early 1917, the two were still bitterly hostile over various ideological disputes, so he certainly was not then considered a member of that party. And since everyone today acknowledges that Schiff had heavily financed to fail 1905-R-R-R-Eye. revolution in Russia, it seems perfectly possible that the 20 million figure mentioned by his grandson refers to the total invested over the years supporting all the different Russian revolutionary

movements and leaders, which together finally culminated in the establishment of Bolshevik Russia. But with so many seemingly credible and independent sources all making such similar claims, the basic facts appear almost indisputable. Yes. It's so insane how even back then. Um, what is it? The 20s and 30s, you still, you could talk about it openly and nobody gave a shit. But within the span of a year, what, 1948? Like, that was completely taboo. And, uh, you were an anti-American Nazi for even, even bringing up these sources.

Well, chef's grandson could say it because he was Jewish. Yeah. So he's allowed to, you know, if not. celebrate it, at least put it out there. But if you judge it in any way, that's where the problem start. Consider the implications of this remarkable conclusion. I would assume that most of shifts funding of revolutionary activities was spent on items such as activist stipends and bribes and adjusted for the average family's income of that era, 20 million would be as like as much as two billion in present day money. Surely without such enormous

financial support, the likelihood of any Bolshevik victory would have been far lower, perhaps almost impossible. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, just in food aid alone, I mean, they were not guaranteed, they were not guaranteed to be successful. But the thing that would have brought them down is just they're people starving to death. And I'm sure some of that 20 million went towards food aid and, you know, civilian resources to keep things chugging along, keep things stable, or as stable as they could be.

When people casually used to joke about the total insanity of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, no better example was ever tossed around than the self-evidently absurd notion that the international Jewish bankers had created the worldwide communist movement. And yet by any reasonable standard, this statement appears to be more or less true, and apparently was widely known, at least in rough form for decades after the Russian Revolution, but had never been mentioned in any of the numerous more recent histories to shape my own knowledge of these events. Indeed, none of these very comprehensive sources

ever even mentioned Schiff's name, although it was universally acknowledged that he had funded the 1905 Revolution, which was often discussed in enormous detail in many of those very weighty books. What other astonishing facts might they similarly be concealing? What might they be? that it's well think about when we first started reading about this about the bolshevich revolution

about marxist leninism and just going through all of the names and places and seeing that seeing the characteristics of those names and places and i'm sure we made i'm sure we made a couple jokes about it but it never i don't it didn't dawn on me that it characterized the entirety of Bolshevism. Like I still thought it was the Russian revolution, but there was

really nothing Russian about it. In fact, it was anti-Russian. Ready for huge savings? We'll mark your calendars from November 28th to 30th because the Liddle Newbridge warehouse sale is back. We're talking thousands of your favorite Liddle items all reduced to clear.

Yeah, I heard recently that, um, the, I think it was called the Abraham Lincoln division that fought in the Spanish Civil War was 3,000 Americans. It was, I think it was 60% reduced. Should it just been called the Abraham Legion? when someone encounters remarkable new revelations in an area of history in which his knowledge was rudimentary, being little more than introductory textbooks or history 101 courses, the result is a shock and an embarrassment. But when the same situation occurs in an area in which he had read tens of thousands of pages in the leading authoritative text, which seemingly explored every minor detail, surely his sense of reality begins to crumble.

in 1999 Harvard University published the English edition of the Black Book of Communism whose six co-authors devoted 850 pages to documenting the horrors inflicted upon the world by that defunct system which had produced a total death toll they reckoned at a hundred million I have never read yeah 200,000 yeah I have never read that book and I have often heard that the alleged body count had been a white disputed. But for me, the most remarkable details is that when I examine the 35-page index, I see a vast profusion of entries for totally obscure individuals whose names are surely unknown to all,

but the most erudite specialists. But there is no entry for Jacob Schiff, the world-famous Jewish banker who apparently financed a creation of the whole system in the first place, nor one for Olaf Achberg, the powerful Jewish banker in Sweden, who played such an important role in providing the Bolsheviks a financial lifeline during the early years of their threatened regime and even funded the first Soviet international bank. Huh. When one discovers a tear in the fabric of reality,

there is a natural tendency to nervously peer within, wondering what mysterious objects might dwell there. The Ackerman book denounced the notion of Schiff having funded the Bolsheviks as a favorite trope of Nazi anti-Jewish propaganda, and just prior to those words, he issued a similar denunciation of Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent, a publication which would have meant almost nothing to me. Although Ackerman's particular book had not been published when I began exploring

the shift story a dozen years ago, many other writers had similarly conjoined those two topics, so I decided to explore the matter. Ford himself was a very interesting individual, and his world historical role certainly received very scant coverage in my basic history textbooks. Although the exact reasons for his decision to raise his minimum wage to $5 per day in 1914, double the existing average paid for industrial workers in America can be disputed, it certainly seems to have played a huge role in the creation of our middle class. He also adopted a highly paternalistic policy of providing good company housing and other amenities to his workers, a total departure from the robber baron capitalism so widely practiced at that time,

thereby establishing himself as a worldwide hero to industrial workers and their advocates. Not anymore. He's not. Yeah, well... You never hear about that. The only thing I remember hearing about Henry Ford in history class was the assembly line, how he perfected the assembly line.

Yep. And that was it. I would like him to read the book, The House of Morgan, because Robert Barron capitalism is kind of a myth unto itself. Yeah, yep. I've seen similar. Similar things pointing to that. But yeah, I mean, it was always the union, the labor unions and labor activism that led to the minimum wage in the 40-hour work week.

Yeah. Who leads them? Indeed, Lenin himself had regarded Ford as a towering figure in the world's revolutionary firmament, glossing over his conservative views and commitment to capitalism, instead focusing on his remarkable achievements in worker productivity. and economic well-being. It is a forgotten detail of history that even after Ford's considerable hostility to the Russian Revolution became widely known, the Bolsheviks still described their own industrial

development policy as Fordism. Really? Really? Indeed, it was not unusual to see portraits of Lenin and Ford hanging side-by-side in Soviet factories representing the two greatest secular saints of the Bolshevik pantheon. Wow, I did not know that, that they lionized Henry. Ford. He has a he actually has a

footnote here to to go to that so you can find out about the Lenin and Ford things side by side. We'll do that later. All right. Yeah, and you need the hot link. I downloaded the PBF, but this is actually online and all of these are hot links so you could go back and forth with them.

I'll make sure to provide a link in the show notes. As for the Dearborn Independent, Ford had apparently launched his newspaper on a national basis not long after the end of the war, intending to focus on controversial topics, especially those related to Jewish misbehavior, whose discussion he believed was being ignored or suppressed by nearly all mainstream media outlets. I wonder why that would be. Nothing's changed in a hundred years. I had been aware that he had long been one of the wealthiest and most highly regarded individuals in America, but I was still astonished to discover that his

weekly newspaper previously, almost unknown to me, had reached a total national circulation of 900,000 by 1925, ranking it as the second largest in the country and by far the biggest with the national distribution. I found no easy means of examining the contents of a typical issue, but apparently the anti-Jewish articles of the first couple of years had been collected and published as short books, together constituting the four volumes of the international Jew the world's foremost problem, a notoriously anti-Semitic work occasionally mentioned in my history

textbooks. Eventually, my curiosity got the best of me. So click the few buttons on Amazon.com, bought the set, and wondered what I would discover. It's kind of a shame that Henry Ford died shortly before George Lincoln Rockwell came to be. That could have been very interesting.

Based on all my presupposition, I expected to read some foaming at the mouth screed and doubted I would be able to get past the first dozen pages before losing interest in signing the volumes together at dust on my shelves. But what I actually encountered was something entirely different. Over the last couple of decades, the enormous growth in the power and influence of Jewish and pro-Israel groups in America had occasionally led writers to cautiously raise certain facts regarding the untoward influence of those organizations and activists, while always carefully emphasizing that the vast majority of organizations of organizations, Jews do not benefit from these policies and actually might be harmed by them, even leading aside the possible risk of eventually provoking an anti-Jewish backlash. I mean, that's basically what's, you can go on Twitter and someone's typing that right now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's, it seems, it always seemed like a soft conflict between the

Marxist Jews and the Zionist Jews. but lately they like I think the Marxist Jews have been suffering just set back after setback Yeah, they're getting in their ass kick And the Zionist Jews don't seem to be doing much better No No

No they um If he If Netanyahu ignores this ceasefire I mean I don't know did you see that that headline in the hell to pay yeah the hell to pay he talks about

if we don't find a solution to this there'll be hell to pay and what did it say it's that Trump's all hell to pay threat was also directed at Israel not just Hamas yeah yep he he hates Netanyahu with a

oh yeah who can blame them the first world leader to congratulate Joe Biden in 2020. We know how people, we know how Trump treats people who,

you know, we know how he treats people who are loyal to him. Yeah. We know how he, just, look how he treats people who are disloyal.

Yeah. All right. So, where was I? Okay. To my considerable surprise, I found that the vast majority of the material

in Ford's 300,000 word series seemed to follow the same pattern in tone. The individual 80-chapter columns of Ford's volumes generally discuss particular issues and events, some of which were well known to me, but with the vast majority totally obscured by the passage of almost 100 years. But as far as I could tell, almost all the discussions seemed quite plausible and factually oriented, even sometimes overly cautious in their presentation, and with one exception, I can't recall anything that seemed fanciful or unreasonable.

As an example, there was no claim. that Schiff or his fellow Jewish bankers had funded the Bolshevik Revolution since those particular facts had not yet come out. Only that he had seemed to be strongly supportive of the overthrow of czarism and had worked toward the end for many years,

motivated by what he regarded as a hostility of the Russian Empire towards its Jewish subjects. Oh, so it's an ethnic conflict. This sort of discussion is not at all that different from what one might find in a modern Schiff biography or in his Wikipedia entry, though many of the important details presented in the Ford books

have disappeared from the historical record. Yeah, just disappeared. Nobody knows where they went. Wasn't Galane Maxwell's dad, Robert Maxwell, publishing most of our textbooks for about 20 years? What was the publisher's name? Was it Random House? Oh, my God.

all four volumes of the International Jew, the unrelenting drumbeat of Jewish intrigue and misbehavior became somewhat subporic after a while, especially since so many of the examples provided may have loomed quite large in 1920 1921, but are almost totally forgotten today. Most of the content was a collection of rather monotonous complaints regarding Jewish malfeasance, scandals, and clannishness, the sort of mundane

matters which might have normally appeared in the pages of an ordinary newspaper or magazine, let alone one of the mudricking type. However, I cannot fault the publication for such a narrow focus. A consistent theme was that because of the intimidating fear of Jewish activists and influence, virtually all of America's regular media outlets avoided discussion of any of these important matters, and since this new publication was intended to remedy that void, it necessarily required coverage overwhelmingly skewed toward that particular subject. Yeah, that makes sense. The articles were also aimed at gradually expanding the window of public debate and eventually shame other periodicals into discussing Jewish behavior. Yeah, good luck.

When leading magazines such as the Atlantic Monthly and Century Magazine began running such articles, the result was cited as a major success. Hmm. Yeah. That lasted maybe, what, eight years? Yeah. Another important goal was to make ordinary Jews more aware of the very problematical behavior of many of their community leaders. Occasionally, the publication received a letter of praise from a self-reclaimed proud American Jew commending the series and, sometimes including a check to purchase subscriptions for other members of his community, and this achievement might become the subject of an extended discussion. And although the details of these individual stories differed considerably from those of today, the pattern of behavior being criticized seemed remarkably similar.

Change a few facts, a justice society for a century of change, and many of the stories might be exactly the same ones that well-meaning people concerned about the future of our country are quietly discussing today. And conversely, if you rewind 100 years, they might have been discussed at that time as well. Most remarkably, there were even a couple of

columns about the troubled relationship between the earliest Zionist settlers in Palestine and the surrounding Native Palestinians and deep complaints that under Jewish pressure, the media often totally misreported or hid some of the outrages suffered by the latter group. Yeah, nothing's changed.

I certainly cannot vouch for the overall accuracy of the contents of these volumes, but at the very least, they would constitute an extremely valuable source of raw material for further historical investigation. So many of the events and incidents they recount seem to have been entirely omitted from the major media publications of that day, and surely were never included in later historical narratives, given that even such widely known stories as Schiff's major financial backing of the Bolsheviks were completely tossed down George Orwell's memorandum.

whole. With the volumes long out of copyright, I have added the set to my collection of HTML books, and those so interested may read the text and decide for themselves. As mentioned, the overwhelming majority of the international Jews seems a rather bland recitation of complaints about Jewish misbehavior, but there is one major exception, which has a very different impact upon our modern mind, namely that the writer took very seriously the protocols of and elders of Zion. Probably no conspiracy theory in modern times has been subjected to such immense vilification

and ridicules as to protocols, but a voyage of discovery often acquires a momentum of its own, and I became curious about the nature of that infamous document. Apparently, the protocols first came to light during the last decade of the 19th century and the British Museum stored a copy in 1906,

but it attracted relatively little attention at the time. However, all this changed after the Bolshevik revolution and toppling of many other long-standing governments at the end of the First World War led many people to seek a common cause behind so many enormous political upheavals. From my distance of many decades, the text of the protocol struck me as rather bland and even dull, describing in rather long-winded fashion, a plan of secret subversion aimed at weakening the bonds of the social fabric, setting groups against each other, gaining control over political leaders by bribery and blackmail, and eventually restoresion.

storing society along rigidly hierarchical lines with an entirely new group and control. Admittedly, there were many shrewd insights into politics or psychology, notably the enormous power of the media and the benefits of advancing political frontmen who were deeply compromised or incompetent and hence easily controllable, but nothing else really jumped out at me. Perhaps one reason I found the text of the protocol so unsurprising is that over the century since its publication, these notions of diabolical plots by history, groups have become such a common theme in our entertainment media, with countless thousands of spy novels and science fiction stories presenting something similar, though these usually involve far more exciting means, such as a super weapon or a powerful drug.

If some bond villain proclaimed his intent to conquer the world merely through simple political subversion, I suspect that such a film would immediately die at the box office. but back 100 years ago these were apparently exciting and novel notions and I actually found the discussion of the protocols in many of the chapters of the international Jew far more interesting and informative than reading the text itself the author of the Ford books seems to appropriately treat it as any other historical document

dissecting its content speculating on its providence and wondering whether or not it was what it's purported to be namely an approximate record of the statements of a group of conspirators pursuing mastery over the world where those conspirators widely believed to be an elite fraternity of international Jews. Yeah, Ian Fleming probably read the protocols. Because if you look at all the names of all the villains in Specter, like that global cabal, they all have Jewish names. Ian Fleming also worked for British intelligence in World War II.

Mm-hmm. I think he were, I can't remember if he was also in World War I, but I'm pretty sure it was World War II. It was one of the wars. Yeah. Don't at me. I won't test you in Flint, psychology. Other contemporaries seem to have taken the protocols very seriously as well. The August Times of London fully endorsed it before later retracting that position under heavy pressure.

And I've read more that, I've read that more copies were published and sold in Europe, of that era than any other book save the Bible. The Bolshevik government of Russia paid the volume its own sort of deep respect with mere possession of the protocols warranting immediate execution. So good. Based. Although the international Jew concludes that the protocols

was probably genuine, I doubt that likelihood based upon the style and presentation. Browsing around on the internet a dozen years ago, I discovered quite a variety of different opinions, even within the precincts of the far right, where such matters were freely discussed. I remember some forum writer somewhere characterizing the protocols as based upon a true story, suggesting that someone who was generally familiar with the secret of machinations of elite international Jews against the existing governments of Tsarist Russia and other countries

that drafted the documents to outline his view of their strategic plans, and such an interpretation seems perfectly plausible. Another reader somewhere claimed that the protocols were pure fiction, but very significant nonetheless. He argued that the very keen insights into the methods by which a small conspiratorial group can quietly corrupt and overthrow powerful existing regimes

arguably ranked it alongside Plato's to Republic and Machiavelli's to Prince as one of the three great classics of Western political philosophy and earned it a place on the required reading list of every political science 101 course. Can I get a check on that guy? Yeah, I wanted an early life check on that guy quick. Indeed, the author of the Ford's books emphasizes that there are very few mentions of Jews anywhere in the protocols,

and all the implied connections to Jewish conspirators could be completely struck from the text without affecting their content whatsoever. Sure. I have to get into it, I guess. In any event, this short work is now available as one of my HTML books, May I quite a. So, Ron's got it on his website. It's only 28,000 words, so it's only four times as long as this article. So, yeah. Blasting the audiobook of the subway, but shaking my head so everyone knows I disagree with it.

Oh, man. Some ideas have consequences, others do not. Although my introductory history textbooks have often mentioned Henry Ford's anti-Semitic activities, his production of the international Jew and the concurrent popularity of the protocols, they never emphasize any lasting political legacy, or at least I don't recall any. However, once I actually read the contents and also discovered the enormous contemporary popularity of those writings and the huge national circulation of the Dearborn Independent, I quickly came to a very different conclusion. For decades, pro-immigration liberals, many of them Jewish, have suggested that anti-Semitism was a major factor behind the 1924 Immigration Act

that drastically reduced European immigration for the next 40 years, while anti-immigration activists have always heatedly denied this. The documentary evidence from that era certainly favors the position of the latter, but I really do wonder what important private discussions may not have been set down in print and entered into a congressional record. The overwhelming popular support for immigration restriction has been successfully blocked for decades by powerful business interests, which greatly benefited from the reduced wages of the resulting labor competition, but now matters had suddenly changed, and surely the Bolshevik revolution in Russia

must have been a powerful influence. Yeah, it's something like, from 1918 to 1991, it was like two million Jews were able to immigrate out of the Soviet Union, whereas if one Gentile tried to get over the wall, get past the iron curtain. They could look forward to 20 years in prison at a minimum. You catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive by design. They move you. Even before you drive.

Erguit Pongue Pongue Pongue. Russia overwhelmingly populated by Russians

had been governed for centuries by a Russian ruling elite. Then heavily Jewish

revolution heavily Jewish revolutionaries drawn from a group amounting to just 4% of the

population had taken advantage of military defeat and unsettled political conditions to seize control of the country, butchering those previous elites or forcing them to desperately flee abroad as penniless abroad as penniless refugees. Trotsky and a large fraction of the leading Jewish revolutionaries had been living as exiles in New York City, and now many of their Jewish cousins still resident in America, began loudly proclaiming that a similar revolution would soon follow here as well.

Good luck with that, buddy. huge waves of recent immigration, mostly from Russia, had increased a Jewish fraction of the national population to 3%, not far below the figure for Russia itself on the eve of its revolution. If the Russian elites who ruled Russia had been suddenly overthrown by Jewish revolutionaries as is it not obvious that the Anglo-Saxon elites who ruled Anglo-Saxon America feared suffering the same fate. Yes. And also South Africa. one of the acts that officially implemented apartheid was implemented at the same exact time an act that basically tramped down communism came out of their parliamentary system the red scare of the 19 of the 1990 was one response with numerous immigrant radicals

such as emma Goldman rounded up in some early deported while the sacko van zi murder trial in 1921, Boston captured the attention of the nation, suggesting that other immigrant groups were violent radicals as well and might ally themselves with the Jews in a revolutionary movement, just like the Letts and the other disgruntled Russian minorities had done during the Bolshevik revolution. I didn't know much about the Letts. They must be Lithuanian, because I know, like, Lithuania had a pretty fond view of Jews throughout their history.

But drastically reducing the inflow of these dangerous foreigners was absolutely essential since otherwise their numbers might easily grow by hundreds of thousands each year, increasing their already huge presence in our largest cities of the East Coast. Sharply reducing immigration would certainly cause a rise in worker wages and hurt business profits. But consideration of profits are secondary if you fear that you and your family might eventually end up facing a Bolshevik firing squad or fleeing to Bluette. Nosares with just the clothes on your back and a few hurried packed suitcases. Yeah.

Makes sense. A noteworthy bit of evidence in support of this analysis was the subsequent failure of Congress to enact similar restrictive legislation curtailing immigration from Mexico or the rest of Latin America. The local business interests of Texas and the Southwest argued that continuation of unrestricted Mexican immigration was important for their economic success. with Mexicans being good people, politically docile workers, and no threat to stability of the country.

This was a clear contrast with the Jews and some other European immigrant groups. That's what's funny about right now is I'll take Mexicans any day over Indians for the same reason. Yeah. Someone, you know there's someone screaming right now. I don't want either of them

in the group, I don't want either of them. Yeah. Someone just like had an autistic spurg out. Thanks, Aaron. Look what you did. The much less familiar early 1920s battle over restricting Jewish enrollment in the Ivy League

may have been another consequence. In his magisterial 2005 volume, the chosen, Throne Carabelle, documents how the very rapid growth of Jewish numbers at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other Ivy League colleges

had by the other early 1920s become an enormous concern to the Anglo-Saxon elites, which had established those institutions and always dominated their student bodies. What was it? World War I took out 40% of the graduating class of Harvard was taken out, and I think over in England, 40% of the graduating class of Oxford was taken out. Yeah. And come the replacements. Yep. As a result, a quiet war over admissions broke out involving both political and media influence, with the reigning wasps seeking to reduce and restrict Jewish numbers and the Jews struggling to maintain or expand them. Although there seems no paper trail of any direct references to the enormously popular national newspaper

and books published by Henry Ford or any similar material, it is difficult to believe that the academic combatants were not at least somewhat aware of the theories of Jewish assault on Gentile society then being so widely promoted. It is easy to imagine that a respectable Boston Brahmin, such as Harvard President A. Lawrence Lowell, regarded his own moderate anti-Semitism as a very reasonable middle ground between the lurid claims promoted by Ford and others

and the demands for unlimited Jewish enrollment made by his opponents. Indeed, Carabelle himself points to the social impact of Ford's publication as a significant background factor to this academic conflict. Thanks, Henry. The synthesis. Well, maybe just a little bit.

At this point in time, the Anglo-Saxon elite still held the upper hand in the media. The very heavily Jewish film industry was only in its infancy and the same was true for radio, while the vast majority of the major print outlets were still in Gentile hands, so the descendants of America's original settlers won this round of the individual. mission wars. But when the battle was rejoined a couple of decades later, the strategic political and media landscape had completely shifted with Jews having achieved near parity in print influence and overwhelming dominance in the more powerful electronic media formats such as film, radio, and nascent television, and this time they were victorious, easily breaking the hold of

their longtime ethnic rivals and eventually achieving almost complete dominance over those elite institutions. I want to click on that hyperlink so bad. Almost complete dominance over those elite institutions. It's going to be a graph. I'm looking up the quote right now about it was, I believe it was a priest who said, I'm trying to figure out what I'm trying to give him credit for it. It was just a crazy quote. Yeah, it was Father Leonard E. Feeney from the Point magazine in 1957.

He said having a television in your home is like having a Jew in your living room. And ironically enough, the most lasting cultural legacy of the widespread anti-Jewish agitation of the 1920s may be the least recognized. As mentioned above, modern readers might find the text of the protocols rather boring and Blan, almost like they had been cribbed from the extremely long-winded monologue of one of the diabolical villains of a James Bond story. But it wouldn't surprise me if there were actually an arrow of causality in the opposite direction. Ian Fleming created this genre in the early 1950s with his string of international bestsellers, and it is interesting to speculate about the source of his ideas.

Oh yeah, here we go. Fleming had spent his youth during the 1920s and 30s when the protocols were among the most widely read books in much of Europe and leading British newspapers of the highest credibility were recounting the successful plots of Schiff and other international Jewish bankers to overthrow the government of Britain's czarist ally and replace it with Jewish Bolshevik rule. Moreover, his later service in an arm of British intelligence would surely have made him privy to details of that history that went far beyond those public headlines. I think it is more than pure coincidence that two of his most memorable bond villains, Goldfinger and Blofeld, had distinctly

Jewish-sounding names, and that so many of the plots involved schemes of world conquest by Spector, a secretive and mysterious international organization hostile to all existing governments. The protocols themselves may have been forgotten today, but their cultural influence probably survives in the Bond films, whose seven billion of aggregate box office gross ranks them as the most successful movie series in history when adjusted for inflation. And how poetic would it be if Bond were to be replaced by a black guy? A gollum. Amazing. The extent to which established historical facts can appear or disappear from the world

should certainly force all of us to become very cautious in believing anything we read in our standard textbooks, let alone what we absorb from our more transatlore. transient electronic media. In the early years of the Bolshevik revolution, almost no one questioned the overwhelming role of Jews in that event, nor there are similar predominance a preponderance in the ultimately unsuccessful Bolshevik takeovers in Hungary and parts of Germany. For example, former British minister Winston Churchill in 1920

denounced the terrorist Jews who had seized control of Russia and other parts of Europe, noting that the majority of the leading figures are Jews, and stating that in the Soviet institutions, predominance of Jews is even more astonishing, while lamenting the horrors these Jews had inflicted upon the suffering Germans and Hungarians. And then he basically became their slave. Similarly, journalist Robert Wilton, former Russia correspondent of the Times of London, provided a very detailed summary of the enormous Jewish role in his 1918 book, Russia's Agony,

and 1920 book The Last Days of the Romanovs, although one of the most explicit chapters of the latter was apparently excluded from the English language edition. Yep. I'm wondering if that's... Who is the publisher? Can I get an early life check on the publisher? Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's the...

I'm wondering if that's the chapter that there are some that say, I know Dr. Matthew Raphael Johnson says to Roman officers were not only executed, they were all raped too. Yeah, I've heard that too. Not long afterward, the facts regarding the enormous financial support provided to the Bolsheviks by international Jewish bankers such as Schiff and Osberg were widely reported in the mainstream media. Jews and communism, what? During collective, just so that like everybody knows how brutal it was and it wouldn't

at all be surprising if they were raped before they were executed. when Lenin was presiding over the collectivization of all the peasant farms, anybody who resisted, one of the ways they tortured them was to cut out their small intestines, tie them to a tree and make them walk around it, while they slapped them until they basically ran out. Jews and communism were just as strongly tied together in America, and for years the largest circulation communist newspaper in our country,

was published in Yiddish. When they were finally released, the Venona decrypts demonstrated that even as late as the 1930s and 1940s, a remarkable fraction of America's communist spies came from that ethnic background. A personal anecdote tends to confirm these dry historical records. During the early 2000s, I once had lunch with an elderly and very eminent computer scientist

with whom I became a little friendly. While talking about this and that, we happened to mention that both, he happened to mention that both his parents had been zealous communists, and given his obvious Irish name, I expressed my surprise saying that I'd thought that all communists of that era were Jewish. He said that was indeed the case, but although his mother had such an ethnic background, his father did not, which made him a very rare exception in their political circles. As a consequence, the party had always sought to place him in a prominent, as prominent a public role as possible just to prove that not all communists

Jews and although he obeyed party discipline he was always irritated at being used as such a token uh yeah well the IRA became Marxist after a while sometime I think in the 1960s they were officially Marxist you know less less Catholic more Marxist it became like a anti-colonialism justification however once communism sharply fell out of favor and 1950s America, nearly all the leading red baiters such as Senator Joseph McCarthy went to enormous lengths to obscure the ethnic dimension of the movement they were combating. Indeed, many years later, Richard Nixon casually spoke in private of the difficulty he and other anti-communist investigators had faced in trying to focus on Gentile targets since nearly all the suspected Soviet spies were Jewish.

And when this tape became public, his alleged anti-Semitism provoked a media firestorm, even though his remarks were obviously implying the exact opposite. Yeah, I mean, he'd have to look at, like, your only other option is like IRA and Sinn Féin operatives in the U.S. The last point is an important one, since once the historical record had been sufficiently whitewashed or rewritten, any lingering strands of the original reality that survive are often perceived as bizarre delusions or denounced as conspiracy theories. Indeed, even today, the ever-amusing pages of Wikipedia provide an entire third

3500 word article attacking the notion of Jewish Bolshevism as an anti-Semitic canard. I remember in the 1970s the enormous gusts of American praise for Solzhenesis three-volume Gulag Archipelago suddenly encountered a temporary headwind when someone noticed that his 2,000 pages had included a single photocopy depicting many of the leading Gulag administrators, along with a caption revealing their unmistakably Jewish names. He got one by. This detail was treated as serious evidence of the great author's possible anti-Semitism since the actual reality of the enormously large role of the Jews at the MKVD and the Gulag system

had long since disappeared from all the standard history books. Well, he just put a nail in that coffin later on when he wrote another book. Yeah, it didn't disappear from David Duke's books. As another example, the Reverend Pat Robertson, a leading Christian televangelist, published the New World Order in 1991, his fiery attack on the godless globalists whom he considered his greatest enemy, and it quickly became a massive national bestseller. He happened to include a couple of brief, somewhat garbled mentions of the 20 million, which the Wall Street banker Jacob Schiff had provided to the Communists,

carefully avoiding any suggestion of a Jewish angle and providing no reference for that claim. His book quickly provoked a vast outpouring of denunciation and ridicule across the elite media with the shift story seen as conclusive proof of his delusional anti-Semitism. Wasn't he a Zionist? Well, I think that, I think you saw this in Billy Graham. Yeah. Billy Graham was perfectly fine with Zionist Jews, but he had a real problem with communist Jews. Yeah.

and I think that was I think that became pretty much a default of a lot of people in power and influence Gentiles in power and influence after World War II Yeah They saw it as a way where they could still

They could still criticize Jews But you know They're just calling them communist at that point Yeah And they're still getting called anti-Semitic no matter what so Yeah, so, well. I cannot really fault these critics since in pre-internet days, they could only consult the indexes of a few standard histories of the Bolshek revolution,

and finding no mention of Schiffer his money, naturally assumed that Robertson or his source had simply invented the bizarre story. I myself had exactly the same reaction at the time. Only after Soviet communism had died in 1991, and no longer was perceived as a hostile force where academic scholars in America, once again able to publish mainstream books that gradually restored the true picture of the past era. In many respects, a widely praised work

such as the Jewish century by Yuri Sleskin, published in 2004 by Princeton University Press, provides a narrative quite consistent with long-forgotten works by Robert Wilton, but makes a very sharp departure from the largely obfuscatory histories of the intervening 80-odd years. until about a dozen years ago

I had always vaguely assumed that Henry Ford's the International Jew was a work of political lunacy and the protocols was a notorious hoax yet today I would probably consider the former as a potentially useful source

of possible historical events otherwise excluded from most standard accounts while at least understanding the argument of why the latter might deserve a place alongside Plato and Machiavelli as a classic of Western political thought no less than 500 pounds whoever wrote that

and we're and we're done Pete where can I learn more about the Jewish century that's that's Leskean book will knock you out it's pretty wild

it's a first Soviet international bank which was the link that you wanted to almost complete dominance over those lead institutions was apparently excluded from the English line. Largest circulation communist newspaper in our country was published in Yiddish. That's an interesting one.

The hero and savior of Britain, Winston Churchill, wrote a really good article about it in 1920. Yep. Yeah, that was his book. That was his book on Bolshevism or Zionism? I mean, his article. Bolshevism or Zionism, where he just basically said, you know, we must encourage Bolshevism.

I mean, Zionism, because Bolshevism is so dangerous. Yeah. Yeah. As if they can't exist together. Yeah. Well, yeah, and, you know, a lot of people will point to the fact to, oh, look, you know, he was writing about the Jews in 1920. Why did he, if he was writing about the Jews and warning you about the Jews in 1920, why is he, you know, why, why, why, why, why, why, why is he listening to them? Why is he,

why do you say that he was under their control in the 1930s? It's like, well, I mean, he was under the control of the Jews that he, you know, owed a lot of money to. Yeah,

owed a lot of money to, but it also just so happens that there are Zionist Jews. Yeah. Yep. Yeah, it's, uh, it's,

it's insane how we basically had eight, 80 some odd years or, even a hundred some odd years of just a complete blind spot. Like you can see the names, you can see the places, you can see the actions, but you never, like I never had the wherewithal to associate it with that particular ethnicity or religion. Well, something that you mentioned before we started recording, you said that you had discovered a cheat. Oh, yeah.

sheet. So whenever you're doing any research into any Soviet government officials in positions of high power, if you come across an obstacle where, you know, the early life check doesn't say what they clearly are, just look at where they're from or where their parents are from, and then just see if that place is in the pale settlement. Easy peasy, right? And a hundred percent of the time it is. Like I was wondering who was responsible for, let me minimize my windows and get my tabs up. Who was responsible for allowing people to emigrate out of the Soviet Union and why that immigration was chiefly Jewish?

And during the 1950s, during the 1950s, there were two. people besides Stalin that were that were chiefly in charge of that and that was uh mchyle suslov and boris ponomarev and if you were to early life check either of these people they were in the international department of the central committee of the communist party of the so they looked at other communist movements outside of russia and basically sent them men and material for funding. And that's where you, that's basically where you get the millions of Jews that were able to leave the Soviet Union.

It was for that. These people made that decision. And when you look at their Wikipedia, it doesn't, that doesn't tell you that they're Jewish, but it tells you that, you know, their parents are from, I'll give you a one, Zari-esque, which is in the pale settlement for, uh, Boris Ponomarov and where is it the other guy was Shakov Skoja which is where Souslov was born and that's also in the Pell settlement so you know you could put two and two together yeah rather interesting it's um it's nice to have someone like um mr unz out there writing about this stuff considering the

you know that's his his background and writing it writing about it in a accessible but still very much

intellectual way like that's not a that's not a substack piece by some schizzo like he's he's a pretty learned guy

I think the article he put out I get his emails of he has a weekly article and his article this week was 17,000 words I was just like

I mean, he's doing this on a weekly basis. Yeah. It's a great service he does. And he posts so much stuff on there. He allows so many people to post on the website. And he documents Father Kaufflin's old social justice magazine. There's copies on there, digital copies. He has digital copies of the Rothbard-Rockwell report.

That's probably the best place to find. I mean, he's, there's, the site looks insane and it looks like it's probably like something from like 1995. Once you learn how to navigate it properly, you can be on there for years. You can be on there for the rest of your life and not read everything. Yeah. Yep. Now, that is, that is awesome that there are still people that do that.

I mean, that's kind of what the internet was made for. Yeah. All right. let's get out of here what he got to promote well thank you very much for having me again and uh you can find me on X at BTWA underscore returns

and you can find me every single Wednesday on the Timeline Earth podcast where I deliver you the news yeah yeah I do like it when you're there for the news it uh it adds a certain Tension sexual tension

Maybe a little more weight to it too I'm not talking about body weight Oh I got to work on that too But yeah so I will not be on this week's episode unfortunately Bird went behind all of our backs And yes something else planned So you have Jay Burton on again

I think Jay Bird is becoming a guest like I mean it's like you know how the joke about you coming on my show Yeah. It's definitely going back in that direction. Yeah, it's coming full circle. I'm eating, reaping what I've sown. But luckily it's Jay and he is a very nice boy, very smart, and he's going places, which is more than I can say for a lot of other people. Is that how about Jay?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What's his background? I never mind. All right, man. I'm going to get out of here. Thank you. Thanks for having me, man.
