Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today? I'm doing pretty well despite the fact that it's going to be 75 degrees. Really, anything over 6. I got the air conditioning on. I don't know. It might be pathological. I'd last five minutes down in places like Louisiana. All right.

As we were talking about before we started with this, there was four pages left in this, and then we're going to do a wrap up of what we've seen so far. So I'm going to pick up where we left off. And as per usual, interrupt when you want to, when you need to. But undoubtedly, and inarguably, a decisive turn of progressive and educated jury away from the hopes of a complete integration with the nation of Russia and the Russian population began in 1881.

G. Aronson even concluded hastily that the 1771 Odessa program shattered the illusions of assimilation. No, it wasn't that way yet, but if, for example, we follow the biographies of prominent and educated Russian Jews. Then around 1881 to 1882, we will note in many of them a drastic change in their attitudes towards Russia and about possibilities of complete assimilation. By then, it was already clear and not contested that the pogrom wave was indubitably spontaneous without any evidence for the complicity of the authorities. On the contrary, the involvement of the revolutionary Narodniks was proven. However, the Jews did not forgive the Russian government for these pogroms and never have since. And although the pogroms originated mainly with the Ukrainian population,

the Russians have not been forgiven and the pogroms have always been tied with the name of Russia. And this is why years ago I decided to write on the subject. And amongst our people, there's very few essays and books on. But they're not talking about the programs. They're talking about how the press described them, how Jewish opinion through the grapevine described them. Very few, if any, Jews were killed here. Russians were killed.

Ukrainians were killed. It didn't come from nothing. The state that everything could to stop it. and as the decades wore on, right until today, Jews, you know, as is their tendency, wildly exaggerated what happened. But even if that never happened, concept of assimilation of Jews, they would cease to be Jews. You know, you can't be anything but a Jew with the Talmud. It essentially would amount to conversion. Of course, it also depends on how you define assimilation.

I mean, speaking to language, dressing like everybody else, or is it deeper than that? It really depends on how you define the term. The pogroms of the 1880s sobered many of assimilation, but not all the idea of assimilation still remained alive. And here, other Jewish publicists moved to the other extreme. In general, it was impossible for Jews to live among other people. they will always be looked upon as alien, and the Palestinian movement began to grow quickly. It was under the influence of the 1881 pogroms that the Odessa Dr. Lev Pinsker published his brochure,

auto-imaccipation. The appeal of a Russian Jew to his fellow tribesmen in Berlin in 1882 and anonymously, it made a huge impression on Russian and Western European jury. It was an appeal about the ineradicable, foreignness of the Jews in eyes of surrounding people. We will discuss this further in Chapter 7. This may well be the first example of a major Zionist publication. I can't say that with 100% certainty, but at least as far as a major publication,

self or auto-mancipation was huge. And it influenced everything that came after. This may well have been the first. substantial kind of semi-scholally offering in that field, of course, using these programs as an excuse. Though plenty of Russians had no problem with it. P. Axelrod claims that it was then that radical Jewish youths discovered that Russian society would not accept them as their own, and thus they began to depart from the revolutionary movement. However, the assertion appears to be too far-fetched. In the revolutionary circles, except the Nehriarch,

Neovola, they did always think of the Jews as their own. However, despite the cooling of attitudes of the Jewish intelligentsia toward assimilation, the government, as a result of inertia from Alexander II's reign, for a while, maintained a sympathetic attitude towards the Jewish problem and did not yet fully replace it by a harshly restrictive approach. After the year-long ministerial activities of Count Ignatiev, who experienced such persistent opposition on the Jewish question from liberal forces in the upper governmental spheres, an imperial high commission for revision of the active laws about the Jews and the empire was established

in the beginning of 1883, or as it was named for the chairman, Count Palin, the Paliskaya commission, Palenskaya Commission, so that by then it became the 10th such Jewish committee. It consisted of 15 to 20 individuals from the upper administration, members of ministerial councils, department doctors, some were members of great families such as Bastuzov, Rumen, Goletson, and Sparansky, and it also included seven Jewish experts, influential financiers, including Baron Ginsburg and Samuel Poliakov. and prominent public figures such as Yah, Galpern, physiologist, and publicist, and Basques, it is highly likely that the favorable attitude of the majority of the members of the commission toward resolution of the Jewish question was caused, in certain degree, by the influence of Basque. And Rabbi A. Drabgen, in large part, it was these Jewish experts who prepared the materials for the commission's consideration. Yeah, so it was useless.

This is at least the 10th one, at least the 10th major one. It's run by Jews, and the non-Jews here are in business with them, especially Gleet. This is an absolute farce by this point. What the Jews were worried about was another Djaven who looked at this thing objectively and came out, you know, 1800. with the facts that we now know today and those haven't gone away. But what that last sentence means is that it was the Jews who dominated the committee and offered the data that the commission would then analyze.

So the whole thing was useless. It was just solely Jewish self-interest from the very beginning. Air Grid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid, is powering up the northwest.

The majority of the Pelonskaya Commission expressed a conviction that the final goal of legislation concerning the Jews should be nothing other than its abolition, that there is only one outcome and only one path,

the path of liberation and unification of the Jews with the whole population, under the protection of the same laws. Indeed, rarely in Russian legislation did such complicated and contradictory laws pile up, and the laws about Jews that accumulated over the decades 626 statutes by 1885. And they were still added later, and in the Senate they constantly researched and interpreted their wording. And even if the Jews did not perform their duties as citizens in equal measure with others, nevertheless it was impossible to deprive the Jew of those fundamentals on which his existence was based,

his equal rights as a subject. Agreeing that several aspects of internal Jewish life require reforming and that certain Jewish activities constituted exploitation of the surrounding population, The majority of the commission condemned the system of repressive and exclusionary measures. The commission set as the legislative goal to equalize the rights of Jews with those of all other subjects, although it recommended the utmost cautioning gradualness with this. What else did we expect out of this? But the sheer amount of not just laws, because remember the Senate was essentially a Supreme Court,

you have volume after volume after volume of laws and interpretations and regulations on the Jews. Nothing changed. But all of these commissions, all of these attempts at reform, all based on the same nonsensical assumption, all based on the same

total lack of learning that no one learns their lesson here and making matters worse, this last commission is just going to add to it with Jews of course running the entire thing and it just goes to show

how powerful they'd become in Russia of all places that they actually could run this that wasn't necessarily the case before certainly not in 1800 and 1801 but this just symbolizes the power

that Jewish and these are bankers as it says here finding tears had come to run this question. Jews really can't be talking about themselves, especially when their contribution to Russian life was almost entirely negative. Practically, however, the commission only succeeded in carrying out a partial mitigation of the restrictive laws. Its greatest efforts were directed of the temporary regulations of 1882, particularly in regard to the

renting of land by Jews. The commission made the argument as if in the defense of the landowners, not the Jews, prohibiting Jews to rent minorial lands not only impedes the development of agriculture, but also leads to a situation when certain types of agriculture remain in complete idleness in the Western Kray, to the loss of the landowners as there is nobody to whom they could lease them. However, the Minister of Interior Affairs, D.A. Tolstoy, agreed, and the minority of the commission, the prohibition against new land leasing transactions, would not be repealed. The problem with having people like Leitzin and others running this,

non-Jews, running this commission, I mean, these were overwhelmingly secular men. They did not represent Russia at all. And because of the close connection with banking and the charging of interest, they all were in business with the Jewish elite, possibly including the men on the commission. And so nothing that they say can be trusted. They're just,

they just take out of thin air, the idea that agriculture somehow is going to be harmed by prohibiting Jews to rent land. They were well aware that Jews own land and various guises and various methods that using debt to have people in their service was old news. and the loss of landowners came from that very debt,

especially your smaller and middle level. There's plenty of Russian thinkers, Sherbotsky, and others who say that the damage done to that strata of landowners was a huge problem for Russia. These aren't rich men. They're sort of like the yeoman of Jeffersonism. They tended to be a more conservative element and a royalist elder, especially the lower level. And as time goes on, the peasants themselves are going to be

the owners of the land. So large landowners never took over the way that they did everywhere else, partially because of the restrictions placed on them by the crown. The Palinskaya Commission lasted for five years until 1888, and in its work, the liberal majority always clashed with the conservative minority. From the beginning, Count Tolstoy certainly had no intention to revise the laws to increase the repressive measures, and the five-year existence of the Palanskaya Commission confirms this. At that moment, His Majesty did not wish to influence the decisions of his government on the matter of the increase of repressions against Jews.

Ascending to the throne at such a dramatic moment, Alexander III did not hasten either to replace liberal officers, nor to choose a harsh political course for a long time he carefully examined things. In the course of the entire reign of Alexander III, the question about a general revision of the legislation about the Jews remained open. But by 1886 to 1887, His Majesty's view already leaned toward hardening of the partial restrictions on the Jews, and so the work of the commission did not produce any visible result. everyone knows I'm a big fan of Alexander the 3rd he absolutely did

represent the ordinary Russian he was he was not pompous he was actually quite a simple man he tried to dress as simply as possible he didn't like all of the all of the get together some parties that the elite had to go to

he was he was very pious which is why today he's condemned everywhere in the liberal academic journals with almost no exception. He was a populist. In every way, he even looked like your typical Russian. And that's why the reign of Nicholas 2nd, his son was equally successful because he learned from his father, as well as a Count Pobodonisiev, who was a great man at the time. One of the first motivations for stricter control or more constraint on the Jews than during his father's reign was the constant shortfall of Jewish conscripts for military service. It was particularly noticeable when compared to conscription of Christians.

According to the Charter of 1874, which abolished recruiting, compulsory military service was now laid on all citizens without any difference in social standing, but with the stipulation that those unfit for service would be replaced, Christians with Christians, and Jews would change. Jews. In the case of Jews, there were difficulties in implementation of that rule, as there were both straightforward emigration of conscripts, and their evasion which all benefited from great confusion and negligence in the official records on Jewish population, in the keeping of vital statistics, in the reliability of information about the family situation, an exact place of residence of conscripts. The tradition of all these uncertainties stretched back to the times of the Cahals, a theocratic organization structure that originated in an ancient Israeli society, and was

consciously maintained for easing the tax burden. In 1883 and 1884, there were many occasions when Jewish recruits, contrary to the law, were arrested simply upon suspicion that they might disappear. This method was first applied to Christian recruits, but sporadically. In some places, they began to demand photographs from the Jewish recruits, a very unusual requirement for that time, And in 1886, a highly constraining law was issued about several measures for providing for regular fulfillment of military conscription by Jews, which established a 300-ruble fine for the relatives of each Jew who evaded military call-up. From 1887, they stopped allowing Jews to apply for the examination for officer rank. During the reign of Alexander II, the Jews could serve in the officer ranks. But officer positions in military medicine always remained open to Jews.

you know, we've had this topic before a few weeks ago we discussed it and there's no surprise to anybody that in official statistics the Jewish evasion of conscription is massively

higher than anybody else and not just Russians all other minorities as well and back in the days of the Kahal it was very easy for them to get rid of troublemakers because if you recall

there was a certain tax break given to the Cahal or even tax debt, I believe, was removed to some extent per recruit sent in. So they were able to get two birds with one stone then. But that organization either doesn't exist or doesn't have the power that it used to have. So it was very clear to everybody that Jews were not showing up for the draft. and far more than anybody else.

We know why that was the case. And at least at the time, the conscription issue was the number one concern of Jews. So I guess they don't want to be treated equally in all respects. They definitely want to privileges in this respect as well. But having them as conscripts doesn't make sense if you're going to forbid them to be officers. there was a reason that were forbidden to be officers.

And that's probably the same reason that maybe they shouldn't have been in the military at all. Israel does the same thing with its Arabs. So this issue was still alive. And frankly, there weren't enough to really make a whole lot of difference. But I guess the idea was to make sure that they bore some of the burden of defense. Because at one time or another, given Russia's neighbors, she was at war with, somebody. Airgrid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid, is powering up the Northwest.

Yet, if we consider that in the same period up to 20 million other aliens of the empire were completely freed from compulsory military service, then wouldn't it be better to free the Jews of it altogether, thus offsetting their other constraints with such a privilege? Or was it the legacy of the idea of Nicholas I? Continuing here to graph the Jews into Russian society through

military service, to occupy the idol? At the same time, Jews on the whole flocked into Institutions of learning. From 1876 to 1883, the number of Jews in gymnasians and gymnasium preparatory schools almost doubled. And from 1878 to 1886, for an eight-year period, the number of Jewish students in universities increased six times and reached 14.5%. By the end of the reign of Alexander II, they were receiving alarming complaints from the regional authorities about this. Thus, in 1878, the governor of the Minskuburnia reported that being wealthier the Jews can bring up their children better than the Russians, that the material condition of the Jewish pupils is better than that of Christians, and therefore, in order that the Jewish element does not overwhelm the remaining population,

it is necessary to introduce a quota system for the admission of Jews into secondary schools. Next, after disturbances in several Southern gymnasiums in 1880, the trustee of the Odessa School District publicly came out with a similar idea. And in 1883 and 1885, two successive Novorica, New Russia, Odessa, general governors, stated that an overfilling of learning institutions with Jews was taking place there, and it is either necessary to limit the number of Jews in the gymnasiums in gymnasium preparatory schools to 15% of the general number of pupils or to a fairer norm equal to the population of the Jewish population to the whole.

By 1881, Jews made up 75% of the general number of pupils in several gymnasiums of the Odessa district. In 1886, a report was made by the governor of Karkov-Gurnea complaining about the influx of Jews to the common schools. Well, the issue wasn't, you know, you had plenty of other minorities from Germans to Muslims in these schools and universities. They had no problem with them. It was only the Jews, as always, that caused a problem. I mean, we know today, Harvard and Yale are massively full of Jews, way beyond their 2% of the population.

They would love you to believe because they're so much smarter than everybody else. It's not. It's had they support one another. They bring in one another, especially in grad schools. I think people were aware of why they were flooding the universities. Of course, they had advantages that no one else had in this terribly oppressive environment. But not to mention, their behavior while they're, you know, being part of the revolutionary movement. it wasn't just because, you know, they were Jews. You had all kinds of minorities at the university system. We know what they were doing there. We know why they were there.

And in many cases, how they got there. And that lesson was never learned. In all these instances, the ministers did not deem it possible to adopt general restrictive solutions and only directed the reports for consideration of the Pelonskaya Commission where they did not receive support. from the 1870s, students became primary participants in the revolutionary excitement. After the assassination of Algen's of the Second, the general intention to put down the revolutionary movement could not avoid student revolutionary nests, and the senior classes of the gymnasiums were already supplying them. Within the government, there arose the alarming connection that together with the increase of Jews amongst the students, the participation of students in the revolutionary movement noticeably increased.

Oh, my God. How did that happen? Among the higher institutions of learning, the medical surgical academy, later the military medical academy, was particularly revolutionized. Jews were very eager to enter it, and the names of Jewish students of this academy began already appearing in the court trials of the 1870s. And so the first special restrictive measure of 1882 restricted Jewish emissions to the military Medical Academy to an upper limit of 5%. In 1883, a similar order followed with respect to the

Mining Institute, and in 1884, a similar quota was established at the Institute of Communications. In 1885, the admission of Jews to the Karcoff Technological Institute was limited to 10%, and in 1886, their admission to the Karkov Veterinary Institute was completely discontinued. Since the city of Karkoff was always a center of political agitation, and the residents of Jews there in more or less significant numbers is generally undesirable and even dangerous. Thus, they thought to weaken the crescendo of revolutionary waves. Well, there you have it. These people, whether it be the universities or lower-level schools,

most of them probably didn't care one way or the other. You know, they were not black hundred members or anything like that. but because they were in areas where many Jews were a part of their institution, they watched how they behaved, and they were obnoxious. They were doing everything in their power to humiliate Russia, humiliate Russians, to eventually destroy it, to overthrow the monarchy, mocking the church, all this stuff that caused the pogroms in the first place. This is the reason.

It's not because there's someone smarter than everybody else, and they would love you to believe. And this is also why, or what, if not the main reason why American universities, British universities, are still hotbeds of leftist activity. This is the nest for the Jews as we read here. It's the same reason why they shouldn't have been into the army at all. This is why they were restricted from the officer corps. and why none of these restrictions would apply to any other minority, including non-Christian minorities, all throughout the empire.

We already see here the revolutionary movement, the leftist movement, was Jewish at its root, and the revolutionary violence, and it was a violent movement by definition, would increase depending on the percentage of Jews at the Institute. This is why they were banned from things. This is why they weren't allowed to do things. And we know the percentage of the Bolsheviks in the early revolution were massive, overwhelming. We could list all the names, which is why censorship is so important, which is why banning anti-Jewish thinking was an early law of the Soviet Union. Why you can go to prison for this kind of stuff in the EU, lose your job.

in the US because pointing this fact down completely destroys their whole narrative that they're so brilliant that everyone's so jealous that's why you had these irrational restriction air grid operator of Ireland's electricity grid is powering up the northwest we're planning to upgrade the electricity grid in your area and your input and local knowledge are vital in shaping these plans our consultation closes on the 25th of November.

Well, okay, so chapter six, which will start the next episode, is titled in the Russian Revolutionary Movement. So obviously we're going to be getting into exactly what you're talking about the overwhelming

percentage of Jews compared to the population who are going to be in the revolutionary movement. How would you wrap up the first five chapters of what we've read here and studied? Well, there's, we've covered a lot of ground. And I think people who've been following from the beginning have noticed that there's a lot of repetition.

Before the show, I jotted down a few of these that I thought were important. Clearly they're important to Schulz and Eatsin. And the first thing that comes to mind is the initial commission, Dershavid. You have a situation where the monarch wanted to know why the Jews were hated in the western parts of the empire, former or Polish empire, why there were so many problems, why there was so much of violence. And this was done innocently. Dershavan was not anti-Jewish by any means.

They didn't have much experience with them for the most part. And he gets over there and immediately sees their oppressive. They despise the Gentiles. They're stealing everything that isn't nailed down. That's the only commission that really mattered, which is why the Jews were so wild about destroying him. It's a miracle they didn't kill him. But they weren't that powerful at the time like they are in this era.

you know so the Dershavin committee is huge and it's almost like they keep replicating committees for the same questions, the same issue, almost to deny what Dershavan said. Nothing changed at this point

maybe the technology did or the wealth did but the relative power of the Jews meant that as we just read they can control these commissions uh Russian naifte and that's not just Russian, but European and Christian I have to tell when it comes to dealing with them.

In parts of Europe, you had merchants in the cities who knew exactly what they were dealing with. It shocked me when Donald Trump was such a lickspiddle to Jews. I grew up with, you know, when he first got wealthy and was, he was on TV all the time, totally apolitical. He made his money in the highly regulated world of Manhattan real estate. other than him, it's 100% Jewish. He knows Jews. They have a grudging respect for him because they competed with him and lost, at least some of the time. So there's no, he knows.

So his behavior is a little, I guess really is by the force of circumstance. But other than people like him, a handful of people in the old cities in Poland and your typical bureaucrat, your typical peasant, your typical, but they just thought that Jews went to a different church than they did, just like Americans think now, that they're not inherently different, they're not aliens, and they don't hate them. And all this comes from the dismemberment of Poland.

These were some wealthy areas. These were big merchant areas, what the Russians didn't realize is what they were importing. The majority of the world's Jews lived in these areas. And so Russia inherited a massive social problem. Hence, the Dajavent committee was just a, I don't know, a decade after that partition of Poland that brought them into Russia. So in just a few years, Russia realizes what they had dealt. Now, the kaha is another one.

We're not talking about it as much anymore because either by force of circumstances or through government action, that Cahal has been disbanded. It was a source of Jewish power, but it was also a source of Jewish distinctiveness. It was a way that they could lie, it was a way that they could hide their numbers and control very tightly their members. Now, of course, cohesion is more important than anything else,

but they have to use different ways. I guess the Kahaldists made it easier to negotiate with them because you had one institution to worry about as deceptive as it was. And then, of course, the question of secularization, which I guess is similar to assimilation. The 19th century wears on, religion becomes far less of an issue. The revolutionary movement prefaced on the idea that Jews are their own Messiah. Adam Cadman, as I've argued, is really what the Antichrist truly is. And that also goes along with what we've noticed here, this slow development of the revolutionary movement, which is the same as the development of secularized Jewry. And it's not so much that religious Jews are much different.

I don't think they are. There is a religious, Kabbalistic foundation for the revolutionary movement. there was certainly a Talmudic idea another thing that hits me and I correct most of our listeners are going to know this Jewish behavior is identical wherever you go

wherever you go at least in the Christian world I want to preface the Christian world Jewish behavior is the same it's the same deceit the same scams the same complaints the same exaggeration the same

self-absorption, same narcissism, the same contempt and hatred for their neighbors, no other minority in Europe ever had. Jewish behavior is within the parameters of the society they live, is identical everywhere. They piss everybody off all the time, including each other.

And sometimes I think that, you know, if you read the old Black 100 pre-revolutionary writings, they say the only solution to the problem is to get them out of Russia as peacefully and humanely as possible and send them to the Middle East or wherever. The other thing that comes up again and again, we just talked about it, is alcohol. the cahal I don't know if it was a specific regulation but Jews don't drink and that tradition or prejudice comes from the era

where you know they won't use alcohol but they'll make sure that everyone else around them does and they promoted it as a way to manipulate the peasantry to reduce them to almost a clowns a mockery of themselves almost ritualistic

and they were able to sign contracts in this state and the nature of their taverns, which they owned, especially on the road where you're not in your normal environment. These were hotbeds of prostitution and everything that goes along with that. White slavery. People paying their debts by using their daughters,

I don't know. And that comes up again and again. Solstinician doesn't mention it, but the tavern wasn't just a place to drink. That was bad enough. People were going broke on this. Alcoholism, there's nothing inherent to the Russian mentality. This was promoted by tavern keepers who became very wealthy.

They also had cash on hand to be loan sharks. Again, the pogroms, I couldn't wait until we got to that time. topic. My paper on it, I think, which was inspired by Shulton Nietzsche, is one of the few amongst nationalists, whatever we are, that deal with the topic. I love the idea that the six million figure shows up, at least in Europe for the first time then. That figure has been around for a very long time. It does have sacred numerological significance. But you see the same mentality,

the same wild exaggeration. Jews were not slaughtered in these things. Jews were armed. Jews had self-defense units from the beginning here. They were not, you know, the Jews would love you to believe that at least in this case, they're all as accountants,

neurotic accountants who have done nothing wrong and they're just hardworking people who've been attacked by the drunk and ignorant Guiam. And that is anything but the case, especially in places like Ukraine. But this is one of the major areas. It's like a precursor to their obsession with the Holocaust.

And it's the same kind of rhetoric, same kind of nonsense. And because Britain was so controlled by the Rothschildenel family, you have now an English language. language source that broadcasted all of this to the world. And it's maddening when you consider the crimes, the Soviet Union, and the tremendous, extraordinary Jewish contribution to those crimes. I mean, the whole point of the Holocaust story was the Soviet desire to cover up their own

crimes. They were the ones who controlled all that information. they were the ones who liberated all of these camps they were the ones who came up with the whole gasing idea and they had a very good reason why in the Nuremberg alone

then I think you know we've mentioned this already the endless and ridiculous commissions you notice as we've gone on this book they're getting more Jewish as time goes on we mentioned it a little while ago in the beginning of course that was unthinkable

they still remember the Dershavin thing that was a bullet that they dodged somehow there's no denying it you can't claim bias he was strictly a neutral man who the minute he gets off the gets out of the carriage

is accosted by this starving peasants who are growing huge amounts of food and Jews were the center of this. You imagine being an American academic. I'm a scholar. I'm not an academic. Those are two very different things who has to write about this topic and not mention the Jews. Or at least somehow, what do you do? You know, that's like, you know, talking about football quarterbacks and not mentioning Troy Aikman or Terry Brantle. you know it's it's absurd you're leaving out a huge hole here

and this is how they have to write but even if they wanted to they don't have access to this information their whole world is censored and sanitized and so they end up writing nonsense occasionally useful but nonsense because the main actors they're not allowed to talk about the other issue that came up was this and it goes along with the naifte,

the repetition of the belief that somehow Jews, despite everything we know about them, can become farmers. I'm not sure. I think by now, maybe they've learned a little bit. There are still people who were talking about it at the time,

but it never sunk in to elite opinion that because they're in exile in their narrative, and because they're in hostile territory surrounded by Goyim, the land is cursed. You can't be using it. I mean, even in Israel,

they struggle with it. You know, Arabs usually do a lot of the farming there. But you still have the kibbutzum and things like that. But in foreign land, especially in an Orthodox country, to be a farmer to have respect for the land, and then consume what you what you grow that's essentially conversion so rather that and they were able to play these russian bureaucrats the land that they were to settle on they used for speculation they took out mortgages on it they were never got or loans on it they were never going to repay uh they were getting subsidies and on top of all that they were bringing in um slavic and orthodox farmers to teach them how to run the lanterns out they were just uh in employees. The whole thing was a scam. And we've come across over and over again, the Jewish refusal to work. I mean, you had a handful of good doctors here and there. I'm not talking

about that. But Jews as a whole in this era, productive labor in a country of the goyam was out of the question. They functioned. Nikahal functioned like, you know, we read about the mafia or any organized crime, highly organized crime organization. They functioned in very, in very much the same way. And for them to claim any kind of persecution, this neurotic obsession with that, while getting free land, while getting privileges, we're getting their tax, taxes that they refuse to pay forgiven, and screaming and yelling that they have to be conscripted, at least some of them. Well, of course, every Christian-Russian had to, you know, it was a small percentage that was drafted.

How dare you, you know, if they're not going to farm the land, they're not going to fight for it. And it comes up on all these commissions, they don't want to work. You know, a mafia, a soldier doesn't work. He lives off the work of others. This is a almost literal parasite, almost in a biological sense. You notice something else that comes up over and over again. And this goes back long before Russia. This goes back to Christian Rome.

and that is no Christian servants. This, the repetition here, you know, when I first came across, this stuff shocked me. There had to have been a reason why this issue comes up again and again and again, going back to the Byzantine Empire. And I have the feeling, you know, it's like a Weinstein kind of situation of these guys to defile young Gentile woman with some huge turn on for an older, wealthier Jew. And we all know that's still going on. I know people personally who were engaged in that many years ago. There's something about that. And that's the whole question of no Christian servants.

If they hold the goiam and contempt, how are they going to treat going to work for them, especially if it's a matter of dead or something else? The method of deceit, this all comes down to the sense. misrepresenting themselves, especially to people with power. They hate the fact that they're going on that have power over them. And the only way, at least for a while, they don't have to do it now, but is to manipulate them. To use money, access to money.

They put on a mask for everybody. Things like not paying, hiding from the census, all their smuggling, all their crime, all of this, you know, behind a mask of civility. But Dershavan getting out of his carriage. and seeing not just emaciated peasants or even drunk peasants, but these are the same men that are growing huge amounts of food with the prophets going to a Jew who doesn't even know the land. And Russians who were there, who lived there,

they weren't isolated in the capital, but who lived there. Dershavin, you can't deny anything, he says. The fact that either Cahal was able to hide their numbers, to hide from the census, Yeah, they all kind of look the same, with the same outfit and the same beard and everything else. It was very hard to tell one from another.

Another one, the inability to enforce things. For most people, very intelligent people, it comes to the shock that the Russian Empire or anyone else didn't really have a police force. It didn't have a regular prison system. That's not how they worked. That's a modern invention. So enforcing things on an alien people who used deception with the money that Gahal offered was almost impossible.

So they could have all the commissions in the world. There's not much enforcing right up until the very end was extremely difficult. Being exiled to Siberia wasn't a big deal. You lived in a private house. There's agreement beforehand and usually they found their way back. This happened with all the Bolsheviks at one time or another. It was just a form of internal. exile. You didn't have a prison system. I think the ultimate lesson when you, and this is

something that we can learn too, any history of the Jews, at any period of time, especially in the Christian era, is they were obsessed with cohesion. That cahol was an institutionalization of that, but they do it in many other ways, that they have to compensate for their relatively small numbers by being overorganized, having hundreds of organizations, and being completely cohesive, willing to go to bat. They may hate the guy, but they'll go to bat for him as far as being against the going concern. Air Grid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid is powering up the Northwest.

We learn from all of this that numbers don't matter.

Cohesion. Cohesion alone matters. And one of the mechanisms of this was the Talmud. I'm not saying that every 20-year-old Jew knew the Talmud is massive, massive thing. But I don't think you will have to know the Talmud chapter and verse to engage in the self-absorption, the contempt for outside. We talked about the Kahul that the elders would tell the younger ones, or maybe the angry, poor Jews who feel themselves exploited by their elders.

That, well, you need to stick with us, because if you go out there with them, they're going to kill you. The Goyim are animals, they're monsters. They're mud as the old insult goes. They don't have souls. They're no different than any other animal. They'll eat you alive. And that's what they use the programs even after. You see what happens?

And cohesion was, so even Jews who didn't like the system were told from birth, this is what happens when you try to mix with the Goyam. So this cohesion, the obsession, the obsession, with this, and again, it's the one thing that you've got to admire. Numbers don't matter. How can that be? How can a handful of people dominate the way that they do in different parts of the world? It comes down to cohesion.

Yeah, they hate each other. And Willis Carter always used to say that if we didn't exist, they'd slaughter each other. But that's just an intra-Jewish issue. when it comes to us, the famous word of road death, which means pursuer, refers to any Jew

who persecute, who uses the goy courts to persecute another Jew or police or whatever. The pursuer is someone to be killed. That's the taboo, or one of the many taboes, but a very important taboo.

Things are done, like any mafia family, things are done internally. So to leave the Jews out of a history of Russia, history of the revolutionary movement, the history of the Russian economy, and this happens every day is absolutely absurd. Let's talk about the founding fathers,

but not mention George, Washington, or John Adams, or James Madison. But we still got to write about the founding fathers. That's how ridiculous. that's how ridiculous it is but this is what academics every day are forced to do. They create and believe these stories because if they talk like me,

I have some experience with this. They talk like me, even in the nicest and most respectful way, they're out of there. And even if they have an inkling, maybe there's more to this issue, they have to self-censor right away. And again,

it all comes from these things. Talmudic cohesion. That's nothing to do with religion. Jews aren't religious. Very few Jews believe in God. It's a very complex kind of and soft, Kabbalistic kind of a way. That's irrelevant. Jews are the Messiah. They can spiritualize it, you know, spiritualize the material like Moses has used to do. It's not religious. It's ethnic. It's racial. it's um i mean they use religious symbols but it goes no uh it goes no further than them so wherever they are they come to understand the the social legal parameters they're they're forced to live in and then they understand how they come to understand how to work it and avoid being detected i can just

think any any mafia family how they function so they don't go to prison it's eerily similar to what you have with the kaha'al whether be in old Poland or old Russia. Russia was different because you had a very strong monarchy that was also very popular, connected with a very strong and equally popular church with a strong social message. You didn't have a strong monarchy.

You didn't have this, the monarchy was a symbol of goy cohesion, which was the worst possible thing you could have, which is why the murderer of Zarniklaus was a ritual. Balthazar, you know, this was the ultimate insult. Babylon has fallen kind of thing,

and they're the definition of the term. The monarchy, Rome, everything else was the evil for them. And now we're getting into the revolutionary era. Their target is the monarchy. That has to go before anything else can be done. That we could take advantage. of the chaos.

So I would say that's a very brief analysis of the main themes and issues we've covered so far. Besides the just general attacks, if you start talking about Jewish cohesion and the Jewish question and references to the Holocaust, the fact that the Western mind is individualistic, that we've been inundated with this. You have to judge people as individuals. I mean, that's just the kind of brainwashing that doesn't allow people to see when groups are acting in their own interest.

And then when you point that out, when people do start to notice that happens, oh, that's just a conspiracy theory. You're just, you're saying that all Jews are doing this. kind of thing. I mean, they've really, they've really captured our minds. I mean, that, that is, those kind of responses are not even thought out. They're just automatic. They're, they're just right there, very much like an non-play, NPCs, what we call NPCs, non-player characters. Yeah, it's reflex. They have a script and, yeah, they have a script and they're going to run with it.

Yeah. And also, you mentioned, um, the way that historically Jews had treated, um, certain groups. There's a really good book called Early Medieval Jewish Policy by Bernard S. Bachrock that talks, there's a whole section in there about how, what they did to the Spanish when they were in Spain during, during the years from 7-11 through 1492,

and how they would enslave Christians, forced them to convert, force them to circumcise. And they were constantly, even the Muslims had to step in and go, you can't do this. You just can't treat these people this way. Yes, I've come across that. This is in the Islamic era. Jews were always, I mean, Jews were a part of the rise of Islam,

and certainly a totally different issue, but certainly a part of the spread of Islam. The only reason that they disagree now is over the Palestine thing. Prior to that, they, you know, because it's a non-Christian group, there's so many similarities between Islam and Judaism. The gates, the major cities in Spain would not have fallen without the Jewish population. That gave them a chance only to rise to the top as doctors, bureaucrats, accountants for the Islamic overload.

But they had power over Christians now. And you're absolutely right. They took advantage with a hatred and a contempt that if it were known, would change would change people's view of the world and change people's view of European history? Let me ask you one last question before we break. One question, I guess the only thing that somebody or a couple people have pushed back against that we've talked about is it may have been in the very, very first episode we did. You said that the word slave did not come from Slav. I mean, that's something that is just

understood in the West. Can you elaborate on that a little bit? Well, just because modern English sounds like that that they, it's a coincidental connection. Slava in Slavic languages, East Slavic languages means glory. Comes up in church all the time.

the English word slave which developed over a long period of time in isolation they're not going to take a word for themselves that English created or imposed on them there's no connection there at all I'm sure many people in centuries past noticed that

in the English language because they were taken in huge numbers by the Muslims under the control of a small Jewish post-Kazar elite and using, I think I mentioned this before, the island of Kafa in the

Black Sea as well as the main Judaic slave trading post and you know you had whole areas of southern southwestern Russia that were emptied I mean they used the Turks for the most part even, you know, the Turkish tribes to raid into Russia and take them and sell them in huge numbers.

But in no way would that even lead to them being identified as such as slaves. It's a complete coincidence. And you have Slavs that had nothing to do with that. Slavs in Poland, Czechia, Croatia, that wouldn't be. a part of that all. There were still, they were still, they were still called that. So there's no linguistic connection there. Although again, I'm sure it was noticed as, as the centuries war on. Okay. All right. We'll wrap this one up and pick up with chapter six. Title against chapter six will be in the Russian Revolutionary Movement. And I will remind people that if you go to the show

notes, there are links everywhere so that you can support Dr. Johnson's work. and keep him, keep him unemployed, or you can say employed in our employ so that he can keep studying this and bring us this knowledge. So thank you, Dr. Johnson. We'll talk in a couple days. Okay, my friend. Talk to you then. Thank you.
