And it's just going to be, you know, hey, welcome back. And let's get on. is going to be very it's going to be long but okay i'm i'm with you it's worth it's worth it's worth it all right um we're just going to jump uh jump in right where we ended and um go from here and go to the

next natural stopping point and here we go due to his incessant energy nicholas the first throughout his reign did not only face failures in his efforts to transform jewish life in its different aspects. This was the case with Jewish agriculture. The regulations on obligations of recruitment and military service to the Jews dated 1827 stipulated that Jewish farmers transferred on private plots were released as well as their children from the obligation to provide recruits for a period of 50 years, exemption incurring from the moment they actually began to engage in agricultural work. As soon as this regulation was made public, more Jews returned to the colonies than those who had absented themselves on their own initiative.

That had been signaled absent. I was reading the Jewish Encyclopedia just before we came on on some of these issues. And it's at least on, I mean, normally the encyclopedia in certain things is vaguely reasonable. but not when it comes to Russia and certainly not when it comes to Nicholas I. Even Wikipedia, in fact, if you go to anti-Semitism in the Russian Empire, they come out and say that, given everything we've said,

that Nicholas I wanted to destroy Jewish life, that he engaged in forcible conversion of Jews, and that even when, you know, they were, They make it seem like all Jews or young men were Jewish young men were drafted and used as canon fodder. That was explicitly stated on Wikipedia, not on the page for Nicholas First, on the page on anti-Semitism. And I think some of that mentality came straight from the Jewish encyclopedia on this just for Nicholas to first. It's actually fairly brief. But it is,

when it comes to this stuff, they have created their own universe. My first book, The Third Rome, which I wrote angrily when I was 30, 29, and it comes from this stuff.

This stuff is taken seriously and treated as history. And this kind of nonsense, everything that we've been reading and talking about is the precise opposite of all of that. And what goes into the history books then and now is absolute nonsense and invention.

I don't know if I've shared my great social science discovery, and that's Johnson's law. I named it after myself. Johnson's law is that says the more obscure the area, the more obscure the area, the more obscure, the country, the more the media is going to lie about it. And not just out of mendacity, because it's obscure, they're going to make a lot of mistakes, but because there's so few people to refute them, they don't really care. So they'll write what they're told, you know, get into sensationalism. It really doesn't matter.

There's too few people to tell them otherwise. And when it comes to Tsarish Russia, it's one of these examples. that they can make up whatever they want. You know, you know, North Korea is a classic example because they're kind of sealed off. You could say whatever.

But when it comes to the 19th century Russia, other than a handful of specialists, no one really knows anything about it. Russia has always been this big black spot and the American intellectual life. Until a couple years ago, then everyone's an expert. But Johnson's law is,

is relevant because no one really knows they could say anything and so kids in school are writing this crap down and it gets none or does it get repeated but then so-called scholars will use

these erroneous facts and then build theories with these facts in mind that's when a lie becomes unassailable in their eyes when it becomes a part of the field it becomes a part of a logical

theory about something about Russian history, about history in general and the entire thing is based on falsehood but keep something in mind and Zolt Zinichin would agree with me on this I'm pretty sure

that in the Talmud of course Rome it had many code names Amman or Haman, obviously, is a big one. Rome was always the enemy of the Jews. Oleg Plotanoff writes about this, you know, ad nauseum. This is the third Rome.

This is the last presence of the Christian Roman Empire in the planet. And, you know, coming directly, you know, by blood as well as religion and ideology from Byzantium. so um so this that that explains at least some of the religious contempt that the jews have for russia russia then and russia now is the is the dominant enemy it is something and so the news media does just what the jewish encyclopedia does because you know we're not there watching things they could they could invent whatever they want usually it's done very poorly logically you could tear it apart they're still doing it as far as the war is concerned and things like that but um the roman emperor which you know technically um nicholas was um has always and in the murder of nicholas the second i have a whole book on this um you know the graffiti on the wall and so much of the jewish triumphalism over it is that you know rome has fallen in their mind uh babylonan has fallen the great land empire

and that's what goes into some of the ridiculous, just the hatred that goes into these ridiculous articles on how could you get more mainstream in the Jewish encyclopedia? So it's extraordinary, but that's why you're reading this thing. I'm blown away by it. But these things will go into papers. They'll go into research notes. there, and no one has any incentive to go against them for obvious reasons.

So it's going to remain. And that is kind of what our job is, to do everything we could to get rid of this crap on this issue and many others. In 1829, a more elaborate and detailed regulation concerning Jewish cultivators was published. It envisaged their access to the bourgeois class provided that all their debts were paid, authorization to absent themselves for up to three months to seek a livelihood during periods when the land did not require their physical work. Sanctions against those who

absent themselves without authorization and rewards for distinguished agricultural leaders. De Nekitten admits to compare the severe constraints imposed on Jewish farmers but with rights and privileges exclusively granted to the Jews with those of the other taxable class. It must be observed that the government treated the Jews with great benevolence. I think in this case, the phrase Jewish farmer should be, you know, there should be an eye roll in there somewhere or quotes with your fingers. Because we've already established under Alexander, they weren't doing this. There's religious sanctions on it. You would have to convert to orthodoxy and then you can do it. but we've already shown when this agenda was first put forth under Alexander

the Jews said well we don't know how to do anything we don't know how to work the land so farmers from different places I don't know how they did this were were brought in and of course now they have they have essentially surf labor on their plots there's there's enforcement is always a problem we talked about that many times how many Jewish farmers were there? I mean, there's actually a debate about this and it's absolutely certain that it's very few because if you recall, there was a condemnation

from the Grand Council of all the Kahulam together a condemnation of any Jew who starts working the land and acts like a normal citizen. Now, I don't know if that's in force. You know, it's like a fatwa. I don't know if it has a murder sentence attached to it, but and if that was taken seriously or not. But, you know, I don't think there were a whole lot of Jewish farmers without them converting of their own free will in the first place.

But he's right. Contrary to the mythology, you know, these Jews were getting, there were peasants in the Russian Empire who would murder to get these kind of privileges. Remember, everything was given to them free. They were going to have a subsidy. everything, the land, the tools, everything. But it's difficult, it's difficult work, especially when you're not born and raised with it. So it was dumb, of course, we've already established that,

but even so, they made it as easily, easy as humanly possible to become a normal citizen. And, of course, they chose otherwise. Ready for huge savings?

And from 1829 to 1833, the Jews labor the land would zeal, fate rewards them with good harvest, they are satisfied with the authorities, and vice versa, and general prosperity is tainted, only by fortuitous incidents without great importance. After the war with Turkey, 1829, the arrears of taxes are entirely handed over to the Jewish residents

as to all the settlers for having suffered from the passage of years. But according to the report of the supervisory committee, the bad harvest of 1833 made it possible to retain the Jews in the colonies. It allowed many who had neither the desire nor the courage to devote themselves to the agricultural work of sowing nothing, or almost nothing, of getting rid of the cattle, going away from here and there, of demanding subsidies and not paying royalties. In 1834, more than once they saw the sale of grain which they had received and the slaughter of the cattle,

which was also done by those who were not driven to do so by necessity. The Jews received bad harvest more often than other peasants, for, with the exception of insufficient seedlings, they worked the land haphazardly at the wrong time, which was due to the habit transmitted from generations to generation, of practicing easy trades of mismanaging and neglecting the surveillance of livestock. I have the feeling that the comment, the Jews labor the land with zeal, I think we're really talking about either a tiny handful of Jews who, for whatever reason, took to this, or more than likely, a Jewish owner with serf labor. but it sounds like

now there's a there's a line here after the war with Turkey the rears of taxes are entirely handed over to the Jewish residents as all the settler having suffered from the passage of years I don't know what that means it sounds to me handed over meaning that they were they were given the

they were given the right to be tax farmers I don't know what handed over means but when I see having suffered from the passage of years suggests that there's like a time limit. So, but beyond that, the bad harvest, you know, they were doing the absolute minimum they had to do. Remember, they were getting subsidies. They were, you know, it was impossible to keep track of who was who there. Again, you always have this circulating motion, the slaughter of the catarraltar.

and all this stuff. I always always wonder if they, you know, they're using that. We all know what Goya means. A slaughter of the cattle. If this is, you know,

just, this is more of an excuse than anything else. Working the land haphazardly, you know, you can't. You either work the land or you don't. So they were simply,

I'm sure they had other means of income. And they were, uh, simply taking advantage of the system as always. But I, but I have to admit, they, they do have a point.

I mean, this is such a stupid idea in the first place. I don't know what Azaros expected. Nicholas, the first, being a lot firmer and stronger than Alexander. I mean, he kind of inherited this policy. But I guess he was trying to see, you know, maybe there is this small amount that can actually become normal people. And I want to make that as easy as possible to become, I don't know. One might have thought that the three decades of unfortunate experiences

and the implementation of Jewish agriculture compared to universal experience would suffice for the government to renounce these vain and expensive attempts. But no, did the reiterative reports not reach Nicholas I first, or were they embellished by the ministers, or did the inexhaustible energy and irrefragable hope of the sovereign impel him to renew these incessant attempts? It's conceivable. Remember, in the last a few weeks ago,

some of these report, when Alexander was around, these reports were not reaching him. And if there's any profit to be made, yeah, embellishing them, I don't think, or they're simply giving him

bad information in general. But yes, he's, you know, Sultan Eaton is saying what we're saying. Oh, my God, how long does this have to go on? And he's spending

taxpayer money on this stuff. Anyway, go ahead. In any case, Jewish agriculture in the new Jewish regulation dated at 1835 and approved by the emperor, the results of the work of the directors committee, is not at all excluded, but on the contrary, enhanced, quote, to organize the lives of the Jews

according to rules which would enable them to earn a decent living by practicing agriculture and industry, gradually dispensing instructions of their youth, which would prevent them from engaging in idleness or unlawful occupations. If the Jewish community were previously required to pay 400 rubles per household, now every Jew was allowed to become a farmer at any time. All tax arrears were immediately handed over to him and to his community.

They were given the right to receive land from the state in Yusufruct without time limit, but within the pale of settlement, to acquire plots of land to sell them to rent them. Those who became farmers were exempt from taxation for 25 years, property tax for 10 years, recruitment for 50 years. In reverse, no Jew could be forced to become a farmer. The industries and trades practiced in the context of village life were also allowed to them. 150 years have passed. Forgetful of the past, an eminent and most enlightened Jewish physicist formulates his vision of Jewish life in those days. quote, a pail of sediment coupled with the prohibition of practicing agriculture.

The historian and thinker M. Gershenson uses a more general formulation. Quote, agriculture is forbidden to the Jew by the spirit of his people because, by attaching to the land, man takes root more easily in a given place. Well, I think this paragraph answers a question. Hand it over. I don't know. I don't think that's a great translation. it means canceled, but that money, he doesn't have to pay that money. I think that's what it's saying because they've repeated it here.

But I think we could summarize everything we've done up into this point by that last sentence. And I think Gwiterson is Jewish. I don't know why I'm thinking that. I think he is that, you know, agriculture is forbidden by the Jew, the spirit of his people,

because by attaching to the land, he takes root more easily in a given place. Which outside of Israel, of course, at the end times in their mind is inconceivable. That's almost a summary of this whole thing. The influential Minister of Finance, Cancran, proposed to place the deserted lands of Siberia at the disposal of Jewish agriculture. Nicholas gave his approval to this project at the end of the same year 1835.

It was proposed to attribute to Jewish settlers up to 15 hectares of good land per male individual with tools and workhorses billed to the treasury and paid transportation costs, including food. It seems that poor Jews, laden with large families, were tempted to undertake this journey to Siberia. But this time, the Kahulam were divided in their calculations. These poor Jews were indeed necessary to satisfy the needs of recruitment instead of wealthy families. It was concealed from them that the arrears were all handed over to them, and they were required to carry them out beforehand. But the government changed its mind, fearing the difficulties of a transfer so far away,

and that the Jews, on the spot, lacking examples of know-how and love of work, and would resume their sterile trade, which rested essentially on dishonest operations that have already done so much harm in the western provinces of the empire, their innkeeper operations of ruining inhabitants by satisfying their inclination for drinking, and so on. In 1837, therefore, the transfer to Siberia was, stopped without the reasons being publicized. In the same year, the Inspectorate estimated that in Russia, the plots of land reserved for Jewish settlers contained a black potting soil of the highest quality, that they were perfectly suited to the cultivation of cereals, that the steps were excellent for

production of hay and livestock farming. Local authorities, however, disputed this assessment. Also in the same year of 1837, a Ministry of Public Goods was established, headed by Count P. Kisleev, who was entrusted with the transition measure intended to prepare the abolition of serfdom, the task of protecting the free cultivators, the peasants of the crown. There were seven and a half million of them registered, including the Jewish farmers, but they were only 3,000 to 5,000 families or a drop of water in the sea relative to the number of peasants of the crown. Nevertheless, as soon as it was created, this ministry received numerous petitions and recriminations, of all kinds coming from Jews.

Six months later, it became clear that it would be necessary to give the Jews so much attention that the main tasks of the ministry would suffer. In 1840, however, Kislyov was also appointed president of a newly created committee, the sixth one, to determine the measure to be taken to reorganize the lives of the Jews in Russia,

meaning he also was to tackle the Jewish problem. This is, you know, again, these 3,000, 5,000 families I'm going to, you know, I don't believe they were physically out there working the land. What we've read here is, in essence, this is an organized crime organization that doesn't, is not used to working. Organized crime, you know, has things brought to them. Now, something very important is that the cahal, because of course they completely controlled the lives of of everyone under them, um,

where, uh, the, the, the poor Jews were totally misled by the elders. The elders of the columns, oh, wait a minute.

No, for the recruitment thing, we need these, we can't have them going to Siberia. And by the way, this is southern, this is these are beautiful lands. They're not abandoned.

They're, there's so much land there. Absolutely gorgeous part of the, part of the world. They simply lied to them. They didn't say anything about the, the tax, career canceling.

And they, so they lied to them so that they would stay and they could then send them off to the army. So your average Jewish family was under the control of the Gahal. Everything from the state, any law, any edict was filtered. And we probably should have said this before, but it's filtered by the Jewish elite down to everyone. one else under them. And this is about the 20th time we've come across their dishonest operations.

And that could mean many things at the time. You know, smuggling was a big one. I have no doubt opium from the Jewish family Sassoons in British India. I think God knows what they were doing. Scamming all over the place. They're just not used to working.

But the elite and the Hall needed to have actual cannon fodder so they can give these people off so they didn't tell them anything about this or at least lied about this Siberian transfer. But again, everything was going to be free. They're going to be given everything to go out there. And I also want to note that it's Nicholas I first who began the process of freeing the serfs. Now, I've argued for a long time that Russian serfdom is not what it's been made.

out to be. There were periods of time, though, that it got very rough in the western areas. For the same reason, it was very rough in Poland. But this was not slavery. But it was getting to the point where it wasn't working.

And Nicholas freed the state serfs and the Crown Serfs. State Serfs owned by the State of the Crown. And that lay the groundwork. Air Grid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid is powering up the Northwest We're planning to upgrade the electricity grid in your area

by Nicholas. And that's very important to note. So my whole life I've been hearing this phrase that Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe, that you can pretty much grow anything in the soil there. That's the, this is the same soil that these Jews can't grow anything on, can't make anything work. Is that correct? Yeah, in essence, that's what they're saying. Talk about a misuse of, you know, that they're so worried about settling these Jews and getting them to be normal people. They should be settling the most productive Orthodox peasants from both areas onto this soil. By the way, today, I think 75% of it now is owned by Black Rock.

But this is extraordinary soil. Now, everything, you know, it's the red basket in the sense that this is where the best soil of the Russian Empire is. And it's a bit warmer than in the northern climates. Yeah. You know, they would say whatever they had to say. and there weren't a whole lot of ways to disprove it. And so this was, it just never ends. They're being scammed.

They're being used. Poor Jews are being taken advantage of by rich Jews. They don't spare their own, at least when it comes to this kind of thing. And it's, again, this is, at some point, you're going to have to learn their lesson, and they don't. In 1839, Kisley, I've had a law passed by the state council authorizing the Jews on the waiting list. for recruitment to become cultivators, provided that they were doing so with their whole family, which signified that they would benefit from the major advantage of being dispensed with military service. In 1844, a still more detailed settlement concerning Jewish farmers gave them, even in the

palest settlement, the right to employ for three years Christians who were supposed to teach them how to properly manage a farm. In 1840, many Jews came to New Russia, supposedly at their own expense, They produced on the spot at testations that they had the means to do so. In fact, they had nothing and made it known from their very first days that their resources were exhausted. There were up to 1,800 families of which several hundred possessed neither papers nor any proof whatsoever of where they came from and how they found themselves in new Russia. And they never ceased to come running, begging not to be left to rot in their misery. Kislyev ordered to receive them by levying the spending to the settlers in general without distinction of ethnic group. In other words, he assisted them well beyond the amounts provided for.

In other words, he assisted them well beyond the amounts provided for. In 1847, additional ordinances were enacted to make it easier for Jews to become farmers. Through his ministry, Kisleev had the ambition to establish model, and then to eventually settle this people on a large scale. For this purpose, he set up one after the other colonies in the province of Akaterina slough on fertile soils, well irrigated by rivers and streams, with excellent pastures and hayfields, hoping very much that the new settlers would benefit from the remarkable experience already gained by the German settlers. But as it was difficult to find volunteers among them to settle in the midst of Jewish settlements, it was to

decided to employ them as wage earners. New credits were constantly granted to these future model colonies. All arrears were remitted to them. In the second year of their settlement, Jewish families were required to have at least one vegetable garden in one-seated hectare and to ensure a slow increase in the area sewn over the years. Insofar as they had no experience in the selection of livestock, this task was entrusted to the curators. Kisley of sought to facilitate. the traveling conditions of families accompanied by a small number of day laborers and to find ways to provide specialized agricultural training to a certain contingent of settlers. But in some families, there was still very little to worry about agronomy.

In extreme cold, people did not even go out to feed the beasts, so they had to equip them with long hooded coats. You keep going. In the meantime, yeah, in the meantime, the flow of Jews, migrating to agriculture did not dry up, especially since the Western provinces suffered from bad harvests. Families that did not include the necessary number of able-bodied men were often dispatched. The Gahalam sent by force the destitute and invalid, retaining the rich and healthy to have the possibility of better responding to collections to pay royalties and thereby maintain

their institutions. In order to prevent the influx of a large number of needy destitutes, the ministry had to demand that the governors of the western provinces have strict control over the departures. But on site, departures of contingents were hastened without even waiting to know whether lodging was ready. Moreover, the credits allocated to the starters were retained, which sometimes compromised a whole year of agricultural work. In the province of Akaterina Slough, there was not even time to distribute the land to the volunteers. 250 families left on their own to settle in Odessa. Odessa eventually became the Jewish capital of Ukraine in that part of the world. So you had Slavic settlers in this region who were doing very well.

Of course, many of them were Cossacks, who had been there for a while, although they weren't necessarily farmers, but they were prosperous. And of course, German, I think there were Mennonites, a lot of them, were brought in and of course they had an excellent work ethic but you notice what they say here we don't want to be put in the midst of these Jews because they were getting it was this whole thing was a scam they wanted the able-bodied men to um for their extortion racket you know uh and and the credits and the subsidies you know this was this was being used in in every conceivable way not having to do with agriculture.

You know, the nature of the scams, I don't know if the committee ever understood it. I have the feeling they knew that something was wrong. Maybe they had an interest in not learning what was wrong. And we already talked about they have, they've had no papers, no identification. There's nothing you could do about that. No one knew who was who.

and this is what now probably a generation, maybe more trying to make this work and they're no closer to it than they were in the 18th century. And there's really no control over this. So anything that was going to these Jewish areas was being used in the same way an organized crime organization would.

It was a scam. I don't know if they were leveraging it for other things. that the land that they were allotted. I have no doubt that they were leveraging that. And, you know, when it comes time to pay, they're not going to pay. We don't even know who they are. They have refused to learn about agronomy. They have no interest in it.

But this naivete, which has been with us from when we started, is just when you read this history, even though it was a long time ago, it's just extremely frustrating. somebody in this chain of command well I think someone in this chain of command was lying to the Tsar consistently but someone else in this chain of command was benefiting from this was pocketing some of this I think there was a scam element there maybe this could be a project to figure out what it is

They still try to do this with various ethnic, groups who don't want it are going to either are going to take advantage of it and then you know most of that money is going to be diverted somewhere else to make it to people's pockets this never works and we we never learn i'll keep going however the reports of various inspectors from difficult places blended as one by submitting to this end the jews could make good or even excellent farmers, but they take advantage of the first occasion to abandon the plow to sacrifice

their farms and to return to horse trading and their favorite occupations. For the Jew, the number one job is the industry, even the most humble of total insignificance, but on condition that it provides the greatest profit margin. Their fundamentally industrious mindset found no satisfaction in the peaceful life of the cultivator, did not create in them the slightest desire to devote themselves to agriculture. What attracted them there was first and foremost the abundance of land, the scarcity of the Jewish population, the proximity of borders, trade and lucrative industry, not to mention the franchises which exempted them from royalties and conscription. They thought they would only be compelled to organize their houses as to lands they hoped to lease them at an appreciable rate

in order to occupy themselves as in the past with commerce and industry. That is what they declared naively to the inspectors. And it was with total disgust that they tackled the work of the earth. Moreover, religious rules did not favor the Jewish cultivators. They forced them to long periods of inactivity as, for example, during the spring plantings, the long Passover holiday. In September, that of the tabernacles lasted 14 days at the time when intensive agricultural work such as soil preparation and sewing is needed, although, according to the opinion of the Jews who deserve of all trust, scripture requires strict observance during the first and last two days of the celebrations. On the other hand, the spiritual leaders of Jewish settlements, there were sometimes

as many as two prayer houses, one for the Orthodox, or, how do you say that word? Do you know? Where are we here? McNagas. Oh, yeah, I think that's for the, yeah, Mitenagia. I guess that's, is that either Yiddish or Hebrew? I don't know. another for the Hasidim. Entertain the idea that as chosen people, they were destined for the hard work of the farmer, which is the bitter lot of the goyam.

They rose late, devoted an entire hour to prayer, and went away to work when the sun was already high in the sky, to which was added the Sabbath, resting from Friday night until Sunday morning. Just keep in mind that at this point, the Hasidics were still relatively new. And they never really got along with your typical Orthodox Jew. So there's definitely a distinction, at least then, between Hasidic and Orthodox.

We tend to merge those today. But, of course, they're lying about these religious rules. Orthodoxy has far more days of rest and fasting than these people do. And it hasn't – I got the answer to my question here. Yeah, the peaceful life of the cultivator is. the opposite of the capitalist mindset. It's the opposite of usury. It's the opposite of credit and loan. But they give a list of what was happening. The proximity of border, well, there's a million things that are going on there with smuggling. Infinite industries were growing, which

they, of course, can loan money to. Taxes and conscription exemptions. They were leasing their lands, of course. And this is what they were doing. And they would, when it says they declared naively, well, it was fake naifety. They had no intention at any time of going along with this. They simply took advantage of a system that at least at some point meant well, but ultimately somewhere in the chain, could. not or did not understand what was really what was really happening here.

But they're absolutely right. They're the aristocrats of the world, the Goyam, the cattle. That's where the work goes. We are here to study Talmud. Orthodox services and Russian Orthodox services are far longer than anything these people have. And then no one ever used that as an excuse. anything, they would use anything, taking advantage of the ignorance of these inspectors. God knows, I don't know how many there were for it, or a large number.

It's like parole officers, you know, huge caseload, and they didn't know. So God knows what they were reporting back, assuming that that report ever got back to anyone who mattered in the first place. From a Jewish point of view, Orchansky actually arrives at conclusion similar to those of the inspectors. leasing a farm and employing wage earners encounters more sympathy among the Jews than the passage in all regards difficult to agricultural honor.

We note a growing tendency for Jews engaged in rural activity to exercise it first and foremost by leasing land and using it through the assistance of wage earners. In New Russia, the failures of Jewish agriculture stemmed from their lack of accustomed to physical labor and the profits they derive from urban trades in southern Russia. But also to emphasize the fact that in a given colony, the Jews had built a synagogue with their own hands

and that in others maintain vegetable gardens with their own hands. Nevertheless, numerous reports of the inspectors agreed that in the 40s and in these model colonies, as in the past, the standard of living of the settlers, their activities, and their enterprises were well behind those of the peasants of the crown or landowners. In the province of Kersan in 1845, among the Jewish settlers, the farms are in a very unsatisfactory state. Most of these settlers are very poor. They dread the work of the land, and few cultivate it properly also. Even in years of good harvest, they obtain only low yields. In the plots, the soil

is hardly stirred. Women and children hardly work the land, and a lot of 30 hectares is barely enough for their daily subsistence. The example of the German settlers is followed only by a very small number of Jewish residents. Most of them show a clear aversion to agriculture and they comply with the demands of the authorities

only to receive a passport that allows them to go. They leave a lot of land in fallow. Work the land only in certain places according to the goodwill of each one. They treat the cattle with too much negligence, harass the horses until they die,

nourish them little, especially on the days of the Sabbath. They milk delicate cows of the German race at any hour of the day so that they no longer give milk. Jews were provided free fruit trees, but they did not plan orchards. Houses had been built in advance for them. Some were elegant, very dry, and warm, solid. In other places, they had been poorly constructed and expensive, but even where they had been built reliably with good quality materials, the negligence of the Jews, their inability to keep their lodgings in good conditions, had led them to such a state of degradation that they could no longer be inhabited without urgent repairs.

They were invaded by humility, which led to their decay and favored diseases. Many houses were abandoned. Others were occupied by several families at the same time, without there being any kinship between them, and in view of the impetuous character of these people and their propensity to quarrel, such cohabitation gave rise to endless complaints. I can only imagine. I think they were doing very well, at least the elite.

I don't know if they didn't really create their own new cahal, but they certainly imitated it in one way or another. I think they were always on the move. I think everything was in cash. They never declared any of it, not that they had a tax like that, but taxes weren't based on that. But they never declared any of their cash that they got from,

They're border smuggling, whatever it is. You know, I think they were constantly circulating like they always do. Maybe, no doubt taking advantage of the non-Jews in the area. I don't know, you know, I think maybe they stuck the poorer Jews in some of these houses. But you notice how they say they built a synagogue with their own hands. the minute it comes to something that clearly is a part of Jewish life in exile, they're going to do what I'm sure was perfect. But anything else, anything that may improve the land that belongs to the Goyim for now,

absolutely under no circumstances. And you think of it, the Soviet Union, the Bolshevik Revolution is what you got when these people took over the government. this mentality then took over a state a few generations from now. The mentality hadn't changed. Most of the early Bolsheviks were from the pale of settlement. They were from the upper merchant classes, as always, fairly well long. This mentality took over the government in 1918.

Poor coordination and delays in the administration's actions. Here and there, the development of the houses, poorly guarded, left much to be desired, giving rise to many abuses and waste. This led to the transfer of several officials and trials for some of them. But in the Jewish villages, the elders also reluctantly controlled the careless ones whose farm and equipment deteriorated. Hence, the appointment of supervisors chosen among retired non-commissioned officers whom the Jews got drunk and coaxed with bribes.

Hence, also the impossibility of levying royalties on the settlers, either on account of indigence. In every community, there were only about 10 farmers who were barely capable of paying for themselves, or because of the natural inclination of the Jews to evade their payment. Over the years, arrears only increased, and they were given again and again without requiring any. reimbursement. For each day of absence without authorization, the settler paid only one cup peck, which hardly weighed on him, and he easily compensated for it with the gains he made in the city. By way of comparison in the villages of Melamede received from 3,000 to 10,000 rubles per year, and in parallel to the Melamed, there had been an attempt to introduce into the colonies,

in addition to the usage of the Jewish language, a general education based on Russian and arithmetic, but simple people had little confidence in the educational institutions founded by the government. It became more and more indisputable that the model colonies so ardently desired by Kisleev were just a dream. But while curbing in 1849, the sending of new families, he did not lose hope and affirmed again in 1852 in one of his resolutions. The more arduous an affair, the more one must be firm and not be discouraged by the first lack of success. Until then, the curator was not the true leader of the colony. He sometimes had to put up with the mockery and insolence of the settlers who understood very well that he had no power over them. He was entitled only to advise them.

More than once, due to the exasperation provoked by failures, projects had been proposed, which would have consisted in giving the settlers compulsory lessons in such a way that they would have to put them into practice within a period of two or three days. with a verification of results, to deprive them of the free disposal of their land, to radically eliminate leave of absence, and even to introduce punishments, up to 30 lashes the first time,

double in case of recidivism, then prison, and depending on the seriousness of the offense, enlistment in the army. Nicotin asserts that this project of instruction, as soon as it was known, exerted such terror upon the Jewish cultivators, that they redoubled their efforts and hasten to procure cattle,

to furnish themselves with agricultural tools and showed an astonishing zeal in the work of the fields and the care taken to their house. Yeah, it's amazing. But Kislyev gave his approval to a watered down project, 1853. Quote, the lessons must correspond perfectly to the capacities and experience of those for whom they are intended. The instructor responsible for organizing agricultural work can deviate from it only in the sense of a reduction in tasks, and for the first offense, no punishment, for the second and third, 10 to 20 lashes, no more. Enlistment in the Army was never applied. No one has ever been made a soldier for his failings at work, and in 1860, the act was definitively repealed.

Let us not forget that we were still in the age of serfdom, but half a century after the conscientious attempts of the government to entice the Jews to produce productive labor on virgin lands, the outlines of the village at Iraqi-Irakiov began to appear. It is astonishing that the imperial power did not understand at this stage, the sterility of the measures taken, the desperate character of this whole enterprise of returning to the land. Furthermore, the process was not over. Yeah, in other words, no one had learned their lesson at this point.

they kept coming up with fixes and bandages for this, and it simply, you know, it just wasn't going to happen. On the other hand, you see it from the government's point of view, they take a huge swath of land at the end of the 18th century, former Polish empire, there's all these Jews on it. What do they do with them? They can't leave things as is, which was the whole point of the Dershavin Committee before,

and he showed them that this is unrest, and a massive debt and their oligarchy is going to take over. This is how they are. They're taking advantage of them, promoting alcoholism and God knows what else, prostitution.

So we can't leave it as it is. So what do we do? There was no conception of anything like, resettlement. Resettlement, I guess this is as close as you can get to a solution. But when you think about resettlement, you can't just throw them somewhere.

they have to you know, they're humanitarian people. The Jews wouldn't do this for us, but they have to, you know, have some kind of an agenda. Okay, we're going to resettle you, but where and how? So they were in a terrible position. I mean, I know we kind of make fun of it and all this, and I'm sure, and Schultzhenitsyn does too.

A lot of people, I'm sure, at the time, not to mention the fact that you got plenty of elites, plenty of non-Jewish elites in the process that were in business with the Jews and profiting from the Jews. So the government, regardless of its intentions, was in a bad position. What do we do with these people? And I think that explains at least part of the absurdity here that, yes, we want you out of, you know, away from non-Jews as much as possible. But, you know, we have to have an agenda here.

You have to become something else. because wherever you go, it's going to end up being this terrible misdastasis where people are being hurt. And I think that's what they realized that they had so few options that this was really all they could think of. They couldn't let things as they were.

They had this alien group of people all of a sudden. They didn't know what to do with them. And they're just thrashing around for something as a solution to the problem. problem. Because, you know, and I think, I think they knew they were slowly learning what this Jewish mentality was, what the Talmud was, and how it affected their behavior. But, well, what does that mean? What are we going to do with these people? And I think that was the battle that Russian elites at the time had with themselves. Yeah, I think one of the main takeaways to today, well, besides the obvious one,

is going to be throughout this whole thing that having, when you have a culture and a coherent culture and you introduce something from outside it, a culture from outside it, it's just not going to work and it's going to disrupt and it's going to be a cancer. And that is, you don't have to hate the other culture. You just have to realize that that,

That's exactly what is going to happen, unless you have people who are of a common culture. Obviously, you have Germans living in southern Russia, and they're fitting in quite well. Well, we're talking about the same section of the world, and we're talking about people who have something in common. But then you introduce a foreign entity to it and to an organism, let's call it culture an organism, and the organism immediately starts to weaken and die. It's not just a foreign culture. I mean, that's bad enough. But a culture that is fundamental premise is hostile to a Christian empire.

Their Machiavellianism is about bringing you down. It's bringing in. And that's why the cancer example is a good one. Because it's not just something foreign, but it's a, or maybe a virus would be another one, but something inherently hostile to you. They would, in order for them to go along with what this program is,

they would have to cease being Jews. Forcible conversion is out of the question. Orthodox, you know, Orthodox, you could never accept that. That never works. And the Jews know how to deal with that too, when it occurred in Spain. So that would, nothing is working here. And that's,

and it's very frustrating because this has been the case and this is the case in Germany, this was the case in parts of France. And in England, you see what happened. They were allowed to take over. The Rothschild dynasty by now had ruled Britain and they had a Jewish prime minister roughly, you know, a bit later with Israel.

He had converted, but, so this is, yeah, you're absolutely right. They were really stuck. Yeah. And the, I think people just really need to understand that that is, the whole point is, is that what you said, it's not just another culture. It's a culture that right from the day you're born, you're not only told that you're the chosen people and that this is beneath you and that this is beneath you, but also that these Christians want to kill you. And that, I mean, you want to talk about a perfect recipe for the most insane level of narcissism you could think of, is somebody who is chosen, the chosen of God and the elite of human beings on the planet, not even humans, above humans. And then everybody else wants to kill, you know, but everybody's going to try and kill you.

Because they're animals. Yeah, I mean, this is insane. It's insane to think that they, you know, white Christian Europeans are very open and have a genuine nature of wanting to do for other people. That's easily taken advantage of. And I think if you really look throughout history, you know, especially the last 2,000 years, And then you take into consideration just those white Christian Europeans who would invite them in just so that they can make a little money. I mean, it's a disaster.

I mean, my friend Thomas once said that when Jews went to Catholic Spain, how they just didn't just start killing each other, like from day one. There's no understanding. You can't understand how that didn't happen. happen other than the Catholics were just naive. But we don't have any experience with it. You know, I grew up in an area that was largely divided between Jews and Italians in Union County, New Jersey. I grew up and I saw some of this mentality. I saw not only the divisions within or among Jews themselves, but how power was wielded.

They kind of had this contract Italians. get this sector. Jews would get this sector. Cops, judges, lawyers, bankers. I don't think it's like that anymore, but when I was a kid, that's what I saw. And so I have, even as a kid, I had some experience with this. But when you live in a very healthy, more or less homogenous environment and this shows up with big smiles, hey, it's Jerry Seinfeld.

You know, and money that they're willing to lend you at low rates, no, come on. these are good folks. They go to a different church than we do. But, you know, as E. Michael Jones, so Michael Collins-Piper, they all said the same thing. There is no Judaism, as we know it today, without Christ. They are a negation. Their job is to negate logos. They exist as a negative.

And as Willis Carter always used to say, if they weren't taking advantage of us and fighting us, they'd be killing each other. And sometimes they kill each other anyway. If you know the history of the Satmar Hasidics in Brooklyn, you know, they're always fighting and it's usually pretty vicious. They hate each other. But with us,

they always have this external enemy to rally behind. But the level of control of media and information, you know, the world, the European world was infinitely healthier at this period of time than where we live and Jews have completely reformatted the mentality of Western man and now the default settings are this capitalist individualist mentality and it's going to take a massive collapse for anything to change as much as painful

as that would be that's what it's going to take. But in the meantime, there's me and you and people who help us and our friends. And that's a lot to carry around. It's a responsibility. I take it very seriously. Yeah. Amen. All right.
