How are you doing today, Dr. Johnson? about as well as you. I'm dragging a little bit, but that's okay. I'm a professional. I'll rough it. I'll push through. We can do an hour. We can make it.

Sure. Yep. All right. Starting chapter 8 today at the turn of the 20th century. It appears that after six years of reflection and hesitation, the Tsar Alexander the third irrevocable, irrevocable, irrevocably chose, as of 1887, to contain the Jews of Russia by restrictions of a civil and political nature, and he held this position until his death. The reasons were probably, on the one hand,

the evident part played by the Jews in the revolutionary movement. On the other hand, the no less evident fact that many Jewish youths shunned military service, only three-quarters of those who should have been enrolled, served in the army. One-neigh, noticed the ever-increasing number of Jews who did not respond to the appeal, as well as the increasing amount of unpaid fines related to these absences. Only three million rubles out of the 30 million were returned annually to the funds of the state. In fact, the government still had no accurate statistics of the Jewish population, its birth rate, its mortality rate, before the age of 21. Let us remind that in 1876, because of this absenteeism, there had been a

restriction of the favor accorded to certain persons by virtue of their family situation, which meant that only the sons of Jewish families were now subjected, like the others, to general conscription. And as a result, the proportion of Jewish conscripts had become greater than that of non-Jews. This situation was not corrected until the early 1900s under Nicholas II. I don't think it's probably. I think it's definitely. But the, were the reasons. I said at the very beginning that Jews in Russia, especially at this time, really anywhere, act like a organized crime organization. But God, even the Italian mafia in America responded to the draft. Clearly, they despise the Russians. They live among or live near.

They don't want to speak the language except to manipulate them. They have nothing in common with them, and that's of their own doing. You know, they're still, involved in smuggling, the manipulation of peasants with alcohol and a million other things, criminal, semi-criminal, and just sheer, you know, usurious and exploitative from the beginning. The fact that even now, the 20th century, they still don't know how many live here, that they're hiding from the census, just like they're hiding from everything else. It has a lot to do with taxes. And they don't mention here that the tax arrears, which, because it's a monitoring,

you can cancel tax arrears. You can cancel loans. Like with the redemption payments, when the land was given to the peasantry. You can't do that in the republic. It's a banker state. You can't do that now. Someone's paying. But because, especially with someone like Alexander III, whose office is more powerful than any banking clan in the country and even them put together, hence there's no reason to be corrupt. he can cancel whatever he wants. And usually when a new monarch was either elected or took the throne, they canceled debt. That's right in the Old Testament. Leviticus 25 at a certain period of time. That all debts are canceled. That's almost the responsibility of a Christian monarch.

One of the many things of the Old Testament that the Jews absolutely despised. Only in a republic, only in a merchant republic can, our debt's just eternal, except in death. and even then sometimes. So there's a million things here that show that the Jews acted like a criminal syndicate that they, and it didn't matter where they were, because Russia was such a Christian country. They define themselves as that. That to be Russian is to be Orthodox, and hence there's nothing a Jew can assimilate to. In any normal definition of that word, they're going to be enemies.

And even there, even with, this knowledge, they're still a privileged cast, somehow, they're a privileged cast, for the most part, in Russia, doing better financially than anybody else by manipulating everyone around them. And because of pogroms that they started, more Russians were actually, very few Jews were killed at all in the storytelling of theirs. They've come to, that's just their excuse to hang together and despise the state and somehow, in some twisted logic, seek to overthrow the ultimate symbol of Rome, the ultimate enemy of the Talmud in the entire world at this time, which was the Tsar of Russia, and in particular, someone like Alexander III.

As far as public education was concerned, the Tsar's wish, which he had formulated in 1885, was that the number of Jews admitted to institutions outside the Paloist settlement was in the same ratio as a number of Jews in the total population. But the authorities pursued two aims simultaneously, not only to slow down the growing flow of Jews towards education, but also to fight against the revolution, to make the school, as it was called, not a pool of revolutionaries, but a breeding ground for science. In the chancellaries, they were preparing a more radical measure, which consisted of prohibiting access to education to elements likely to serve the revolution, a measure contrary to the spirit of Lamanosov and profoundly vicious, prejudicial to the state itself, it was to deny the children of disadvantaged strata of the

general population, the sons of cooks, admissions at college. The formulation, falsely reasonable, falsely decent, was leave the school principles free to accept only children who are in the care of persons who can guarantee them good supervision at home and provide them with all that is necessary for the pursuit of their studies. Furthermore, in higher education status, establishments, it was planned to increase the right of access to classes. I think there's certain elements of propaganda here because it wasn't the lower classes that were the problem. Jews were not, by and large, they were not institutes of higher learning for the sake of education. That wasn't their purpose. Education to serve what? A country that

they loathed? You know, there were plenty of people at the time that didn't want Jews in the army at all, let alone becoming officers. It was just a way to give back the tax. And it was only, you know, not that many people. There's 100 million people in Russia, 80 million people. You know, the draft, it wasn't like, you know, in late 60s, U.S. It wasn't of everybody over, over 18 that was healthy. It was one person out of a series of villages.

It wasn't done en masse. They had enough people to feel the very, very large army without, you know, without this this massive draft and they didn't they didn't have the centralization to do that anyway that's the only reason but education to them and there's nothing unreasonable about saying that we need people who are going to actually use this for education not as a not as a basis for revolution you know you always hear in protests students college students are always at the center of it this was something that started here this is something that started here this is something that's started with Jewish influence, taking students who were, you know, at that age, you know,

very full of themselves, very naive, easily manipulated. And now you see a pattern of the people who they think or thought were easy to, to, that they thought were impressionable, women, especially, students of all kinds, proletarians, and convince them to support their, their causes and to do so violently. So this was a matter of the upper class, not the lower class. We talked in the very beginning of this about how Freemasonry had infiltrated the ranks of the upper level of the nobility.

Now, there was no formal ranks of nobility, really. There were ranks of the bureaucracy, just like in the U.S. you have, you know, G7, G8, G9. You had that in Russia that had a military rank, and even they wore uniforms, very different from the West. You could be a colonel, so to speak, but not really be in the Army.

That would just be a rank in the bureaucracy, something like that. I guess you have that in Kentucky in the U.S., the rank of colonel for non-military purposes. But you didn't have a nobility, but still your people, large landowners, high levels of people in the bureaucracy, even the military,

that Freemasonry had penetrated it post the post Peter world the post-Catherine world and it took a long time even Alexander the 3rd because he didn't live long enough unfortunately to root that out it was very difficult to do

despite the resources that the that the Tsar had he still was one man and by World War I as great as our Nicholas the second was he really he really couldn't trust a lot of people around them. Those ideas had penetrated so deeply.

If Aliccanda the third couldn't do it, really no one else is going to be able to do it, to get rid of it. And that served the Jews very well. Remember what masonry is, especially at the upper levels. It's just Judaism for non-Jews. It's just a dumbed-down version of the Kabbalah

for, especially in the, you know, the Orient style lodges that existed in the east, not just your York nonsense in places like Britain and the U.S. This was far more serious in Germany, Italy, and Russia, Grand Orient and all of its offshoots. That was more Kabbalistic and more Judaic at its core. And, of course, it also went with great amounts of money. They didn't just go pick anybody. They weren't picking cooks.

But these kids, especially non-Jews, with money, were coming from some of these families. This is where nihilism came from. Gerganov mentions it in his fathers and sons, very famous book. One of the greatest works of Russian literature is, you know, I said my, actually I have an essay on it in my book on Russian literature. So it's a complicated set of issues, but the upper classes are always the first to be, first to become revolutionary. It's never the lower classes. And we have that in America right now.

This measure provoked a strong outrage in liberal circles, but less violent and less lasting than the one that was instigated in 1887 by a new measure, the reduction of the number of Jews admitted to high schools and universities. It was originally planned to publish these two provisions within the framework of the same law, but the Council of Ministers opposed it, arguing that the publication of a general decision accompanied by restrictions for the Jews could be misinterpreted. In June 1887, therefore, only a part was promulgated, the one that concerned non-Jews, measures aiming to regulate the contingent of pupils in secondary and higher education, measures directed in fact against the common people. As for the reduction of the quota of the Jews, it was entrusted to the Minister of Education, Villiannoff, who implemented it in July 1887 by a bulletin addressed to the rectors of school boards. He fixed for the secondary and higher schools the numerous clauses of the Jews at 10% for palest settlement, 5% out of it, and 3% in the two capitals.

There's something else I should mention, and that is that in the beginning here, the admission of Jews in any of these sort of institutions was as high outside of the pale as inside, meaning that there was no enforcement. Jews weren't forced to live in this humongous area where they had lived, by the way, for a very long period of time. They lived where they pleased, especially given the fact that they didn't know how many there were or even who they were in many cases. So I should have mentioned that before, but the Pallas Settlement was places where Jews wanted to be.

Remember, it was a humongous area and a fairly wealthy area compared with central and eastern parts of the empire. So if anyone says they were forced to live there, you say, well, that's what they wanted to be. And clearly they weren't. There was no way to enforce it. And the proof is that Jews were everywhere and were in institutions outside of the pale as much as they were on inside. In the inside. Following the example of the Ministry of Public Instruction, other organizations began to introduce quotas of admission into their institutions, and some were closed down to the Jews.

some of the higher school of electricity, the St. Petersburg School of Communication, and most strikingly the Academy of Military Medicine, which temporarily prohibited, but for many years its access to Jews. This numerous Klausus law, which had not been established during the 93 years of massive presence of Jews in Russia, and which was to continue for 29 years, practically until 1916, struck the Jewish Society of Russia all the more painfully because in the years 1870 to 1880, there had been a remarkable impulse of the Jews to enter schools and colleges, a phenomenon which Sliusberg in particular explains is not due to the realization of the masses of the necessity of education, but rather due to the fact that for a Jew

without capital, figuring out how to deploy one's forces in the economic field was very difficult and due to the fact that conscription became compulsory for all, but that there were dispensations for the students. Thus, if only well-to-do Jewish youth had studied before, a Jewish student proletariat was now being created if among the Russians, now as in the past, it was the favored social class that received higher education among the Jews.

In addition to the wealthy, young people from the underprivileged classes began to study. Keep in mind that most of these institutions didn't have tuition. This isn't like, you know, in the U.S. If you were good enough to pass the entrance exams and everything else you had to do, it was, you know, a scholarship, so to speak, was almost insured. And this was obvious for the military academies.

I'm very anxious to learn why specifically, and I forgot about this, that military medicine in particular was banned. They didn't just pick this out of a hat. There has to have been, had to have been incidents on the battlefield where Jewish doctors refused to, or you know, something like that or use poison or whatever, they wouldn't just pick that one in particular out unless there was a specific problem with it. So now, not only do you have Jews going into higher education for the sake of the revolution, you also have them there to avoid the draft.

So now you have two anti-social reasons to do it. You know, they didn't want warfare, which, given, you know, how long, rushes borders are that were always involved in one way or another, they didn't want warfare to be dysgenic. They didn't want their higher IQ people being killed. It wasn't for everybody. But regardless of what the law may have said, lower class students who passed the entrance exams were always involved in higher education. That was that was the norm. But given their upbringing and given levels of

literacy or what they wanted to do, their influences. You didn't have a lot of people from that world. You didn't have a lot of proletarians coming into higher education. They really didn't know that much about it. So you have a whole bunch of reasons why Jews were in higher education. The only one that was

passable, as Sultan Eaton suggests, is that for Jews who weren't as wealthy as others who didn't have with who were not established merchants it's almost like someone going in to get a business degree but you know that didn't exist that's not even an academic subject today in my opinion

but economics is but business isn't I have the feeling it was more to meet other Jews and create you know and to network more than it was to learn anything so that was probably the only semi a justified reason to go into higher education, the rest were very antisocial. And that's what Alexander III was worried about. We would like to add that in those years, there had been a turning point in the whole world

and in all fields of culture toward a no longer elitist but generalized education. And the Jews, particularly intuitive and receptive, have been the first to feel it, at least instinctively. But how can we find a way to satisfy without causing friction without clashes, the constant and increasing aspiration of the Jews to education, in view of the fact that the indigenous population in its mass remained fairly asleep and backward, how to avoid prejudice to the development of either side. Of course, the objective of the Russian government was to struggle against a revolution.

For among the student youth, many Jews had been noticed by their activism and their total rejection of the regime in place. However, when we know the enormous influence exerted by Poboda Nostov during the reign of Alexander III, it must be admitted that the aim was also to defend the Russian nation against the imbalance that was to occur in the field of education. That this is what testifies the Baron Mordas von Hirsch, a big Jewish banker who visited Russia and to whom Pobo de Nostov expressed his point of view. The policy of the government is inspired not by the idea that the Jews, are a threat, but by the fact that rich in their multi-millennial culture, they are more spiritual

and intellectually powerful than the still ignorant and unpolished Russian people. That is why measures had to be taken to balance the low capacity of the local population to resist. And Pobit Nostev asked Hirsch, known for his philanthropy, to promote the education of the Russian people in order to realize the equal rights of the Jews of Russia. According to Sliusburg, Barron Hirsch allocated one million rubles to private schools. Yeah, I don't, I'm not sure how seriously that should

be taken. Public honesty, I've didn't believe that Jews were intellectually superior. No normal person believed that. It was more that they had more of an incentive to go to universities of the reasons we've already already discussed. It's not a matter of capacity. Because I didn't see this in the original Russian, at least I don't remember.

It's not a matter of capacity. It was a matter of incentive. It certainly wasn't a matter of money. But back then, sons would generally follow the field of their fathers, you know, overwhelmingly, for the most part. That was a more traditional way to go, only changing really in the middle of the 20th century, maybe after the war. But so I think that's a lot. that's the issue. It's not capacity. It's just, you know, possibly breaking away from whatever field they're in and to go to, you know, a military academy or to a college, some specialization beyond what they're doing. I don't think it's a matter of capacity here at all. It's, you know, I think that might be an exaggeration. That's a typical Jewish propaganda line. We're simply

superior people. They don't put it that way. But it has more to do with why, Jews wanted to go to an institution of higher learning, to university, some kind. Their incentives, not their ability.

Like any historical phenomenon, this measure can be viewed from various angles,

particularly from the two different angles that follow. For a young Jewish student, the most elementary fairness seemed flouted. He had shown capacities, application, he had to be admitted, but he was not. Obviously, for these gifted and dynamic young people to encounter such a barrier was more than mortifying. The brutality of such a measure made them indignant. Those who had hitherto been confined to the trades of commerce and handicrafts were now prevented from accessing ardently desired studies that would lead to a better life. Conversely, the native population did not see in these quotas a breach of the principle of equality, on the contrary even.

The institutions in question were financed by the public treasury and therefore by the whole population, and if the Jews were more numerous, it meant that it was at the expense of all, and it was known that, later on, educated people who enjoyed a privileged position in society. And the other ethnic groups, did they also have to have a proportional representation within the educated layer? Unlike all the other peoples of the empire, the Jews now aspired almost exclusively to education, and in some places, this could mean that the Jewish contingent in schools exceeded 50%. The numerous claustas was unquestionably instituted to protect the interests of Russians and ethnic minorities, certainly not to bully the Jews. In the 20s of the 20th century, a similar approach

was sought in the United States to limit the Jewish contingent universities, and immigration quotas were also established, but we shall come back to this. Moreover, the matter of quotas put today in terms of no less than has become a burning issue in America. Yeah, remember, education in Russia, absolutely, and certainly in Central Europe, it wasn't an individual matter. That first argument that starts with for a young Jewish student, that's kind of how a postmodern American would view education. This was a social matter. This was an ethnic matter. Education wasn't just so you wouldn't have a better life. It was Higelian. It was so that you can, you know, join a guild be a part of a specific field that benefits the society. Having Jews networking the way

that they do, like their absolute domination of the American Ivy Leaves is bad for everybody. But of course, the U.S. is Judaic, so no one's going to challenge that. They would love for you to believe that they dominate the Ivy Leagues. And that's why it has a, you know, they're not, they're not places of brilliance by any stretch of the imagination. State universities are usually superior in that department. I've known so many people in American Ivy Leagues who say the classes are a joke, assuming they have, they go to classes, especially for grad student. Small private schools even are far superior in that regard. Their reputation comes from the huge percentage of Jews, but it's just a matter of networking.

It's always been. You know, whites and Jews have very similar average IQs. That's not the issue. But, of course, we know with other races that's far from the case. So this was a form of social protection. It had nothing to do with what individuals wanted. And Jews were going into university education also for their own ethnic reasons. they were doing perfectly fine

and the fact that there was no tuition as I said before means that Russians are paying for Jews to seek a society that were their dominant and that was a problem and of course bringing up up quotas for the U.S. Yeah, that was no problem

and they still have them even if they're technically illegal they're still going to do it because that's the official ideology But so quotas were to protect the society. It had nothing to do with what individuals wanted. Notice that you will hear people complain about like WASP legacy students getting accepted into Yale, Harvard, places like that. But people are completely blinded to the fact that Jews will just get hired in those places

and make sure the Jews get accepted into them, just like with the Nobel, with the Nobel. with the Nobel Prize and their committee and things like that. Yeah, this is huge, especially in the law schools. You know, Jews absolutely dominate the Ivy League law schools all over the east. And even elite schools outside of that. And of course, they're completely, you know, separatists in their thinking, then and now. They hire each other. And I think that's the, when it came to, you know, improving their life, so to speak,

I think that networking and plugging in to that international society had more to do with them going into a university, paid for by the Goyem, by the way, then actual their own personal improvement. And the Russian government understood that at the time. Finally, you're starting to notice that Russians are waking up from their naifte about the Jews and taking some action. And for Nicholas I,

first, and especially Alexander III and Nicholas II, those three took some serious action, which is why they're attacked constantly by Anglo-American historians today. In practice, there have been many exceptions to the application of the numerous clauses in Russia. The first to avoid it were girls' high schools. In most high schools for young girls, the quotas were not current, nor in several public higher education establishments. The conservatories of St. Petersburg and Moscow, the school of painting, sculpture and architecture of Moscow, the Kiev School of Commerce, etc. A fortiori quotas were not

applied in any private establishment, and these were numerous and of high quality. For example, at the Karpitinokova High School, one of the best high schools in Moscow, a quarter of the students were Jewish. There were numerous at the famous Polova Novkaya High School in Moscow, and the Androyeva Girls School in Rostov, where my mother, was a pupil there, were in her class more than half of Jewish girls. Business schools under the Ministry of Finance, to which Jewish children were eager to register, were initially open to them without any restriction, and those which took place after 1895 were relatively light. For example, in commercial schools and the Payless Settlement, financed out of private funds, the number of Jews

admitted on the amount of money allocated by Jewish merchants for the maintenance of these schools, and in many of them, the percentage of Jewish students was 50% or more. That's a very important paragraph because even in private institutions, there was no tuition, but there had to be a body like church schools. You know, it was a church itself that financed these. You didn't have to pay. There had to be a body that would put up the money for the number of students that they were able to handle. here within the Pala settlement near Kiev and places like that it was these Jewish merchants that were putting up the money so of course they're not going to have Goyim all over the place they're not going to allow that and so those restrictions only existed within state schools financed by either tax money or things like you know tariffs and indemnities or anything else so within the pale of settlement

you had the absolute Jewish domination, which the state really didn't do anything about because it really didn't, it could have, but these were private. They didn't want a precedent where any private institution can be dominated. But as time went on, these schools became hotbeds of revolution. The state even tried to do something about that. Of course, if the Jewish merchant is going to be putting up the money, it's going to be a Jewish school. and 50% of course is many times the proportion of Jews in a specific area, the percentage of Jews in a specific area. Place like Odessa, yeah, it's very high. That makes more sense.

But all over, Russian Ukraine, where Jews were in huge numbers, Belarus for Jews existed in huge numbers. Private schools was a Jewish domain because Jewish merchants were putting up the money and not just local, but the entire Jewish Empire throughout the world were putting up the money. They always had a very easy source of liquidity wherever they went because again this was an ethnic concern, not an individual concern. Ready for huge savings?

If the official standard was strictly observed at the time of admissions of the secondary classes, it was often largely overstepped in the larger classes. Sliusberg explains this notably by the fact that Jewish children who

entered high school, pursued it to the end, whereas the non-Jews often gave up their studies before completion. This is why, in large classes, there were often much more than 10% Jewish pupils. He confirmed that they were numerous, for example, at the Poltava High School. Out of 80 boys, eight were Jewish. In the boys' school in Mariople, at the time when there was already a local Duma, about 14 to 15% of the pupils were Jewish, and in girls' high schools, the proportion was even higher. In Odessa, where Jews constituted one-third of the population, there were in 1894, 14% in the prestigious Richelieu High School, more than 10% in the gymnasium number two, 37% in gymnasium number three, in girls high school, the proportion was of 40% in business

schools, 72% and in university, 19%. It just depended on what, and what their, you know, the Kahul didn't exist anymore. more. But it doesn't mean that there wasn't a strong, completely separatist ethnic mentality. I mean, there is now, for the most part. That separatist ethnic mentality was overwhelmingly revolutionary. You know, for the 9,000th time, I'll say the revolutionary movement came from sons of the wealthiest, or at least the upper middle part of the merchant classes, those who live on usury and not working, living off rents, rents in the economic sense of the term.

Business school, 72%. That's not a shock. Their power came from their access to liquidity, but it also came from their cohesion. It was cohesion above all else. And the survival strategy, as we all know, is to promote chaos in their host society, ethnically, bringing in as many foreigners you possibly can, and at the same time maintaining a fanatical level of cohesiveness for their own people. That's how they were able to overcome and continue to be able to overcome their small numbers.

And Simpleton, looking at these numbers, will say, oh, my God, they're so superior to us. We need to worship these people. And you have plenty of people who believe that, Protestants especially. We know it's not true. And I have never come across in the thousands and thousands of books in Russian and in English that I've gone through in this era, I have never come across this particular group of statistics before. Or the fact, well, that's not true.

I have. But not the argument that these private schools were being financed by those locally. And so in Jewish areas, they were financed by Jewish merchants. And therefore, the network was very obvious. And Guiam, by the thousands were rejected. This was their, this was part of their sense of cohesiveness. That has nothing to do with money. eventually it had a lot to do with a revolutionary movement, but a revolutionary movement has to be

financed. And it's just starting to seep in to at least the royal court, if not the Senate, and elsewhere, that this is a huge problem for the country. To the extent that financial means permitted it, no obstacle prevented this thirst for education. In a number of secondary schools in the central Russian provinces, there were few Jewish peoples at that time, and parents took the opportunity to send their children there. The wealthiest parents had their children homeschooled. They prepared for examinations to enter the next grade and thus reached this way the senior year.

In the period between 1887 and 1909, Jewish children were free to pass the school leaving examinations and they graduated as equals those who had followed the curriculum. A majority of external pupils were Jewish. A family like that of Jacob Marchock, a jeweler with no great fortune, and the father of the poet, whose five children had a higher education, was not uncommon before the revolution. Yeah, think of central Russia as, you know, Moscow in the center and points east up until the Ural Mountains.

So maybe draw a circle 200 miles around Moscow, but stop at the border of the pale of settlement. And that's central Russia. It was mostly agrarian. it was one of the most orthodox parts of the country, the north slightly more. You had huge peasant ownership of land at this point. It was really the core of the great Russian society. You didn't have tons of Jews there, and there you had more of a proportional, you know, the Jewish target was where they dominated or where they had a much higher proportion,

which would be in the far western areas. The Pala of Settlement was their, was their Khazaria at this point. No one was forced to live there, but it's a place where their dominance was increasing, which meant that the revolutionary movement was increasing. Moreover, private establishments were opened everywhere, whether mixed for the Jews and Christians or for the Jews only. Some of these establishments enjoyed the same rights as public establishments. The others were authorized to issue certificates entitling them to enroll in higher education

establishments. A network of private Jewish settlements was established which formed the basis of a national type education. The Jews were also oriented toward higher education establishments abroad, a large part of them on their return to Russia passed examinations before the state commissions. Sliusberg himself observed that in the 80s at the University of Heidelberg that the majority of Russian listeners were Jews, and at that time, among them, did not have their bachelor's degree. One can rightly wonder whether the restrictions dictated by fear in front of the revolutionary moods of the students did not contribute to feeding said moods. If these were not aggravated by indignation at the numerous closest and by contracts maintained abroad with political emigrants,

what happened in Russian universities after the publication of the bulletin, there were There was no sharp fall, but the number of Jews decreased almost every year from 13.8% in 1893 to 7% in 1902. The proportion of Jews studying at the universities of St. Petersburg and Moscow remained no less than the imposed 3% norm throughout the period of validity of the said standard. Keep in mind that many elite Jewish families were sending their children to schools in Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Of the top of my head, I don't know, there were certain restrictions there, but I don't know to what extent. I think Russia's had the strictest, and for very obvious reasons. They were also going to schools in France. So Jewish education was, like everything else, completely worldwide and not just an effect of great wealth, but the cause of greater wealth in the future.

Minister Delianov acceded more than once to the request submitted to him and authorized admission to university beyond the numerous clauses. This was how hundreds of students were admitted. Delianov's flexibility will succeed later the rigidity of Mr. Bogolepov, and it is not excluded that this may have contributed to making him the target of terrorists. Sliusberg gives this overview. The percentage in the Superior Courts of Medicine for Women Outweighed, that of the Academy of Military Medicine and that of the university,

and all the Jewish girls of the empire poured in. Several hundred Jews were enrolled in the School of Psychoneropathy, excuse me, psychoneuropathology in St. Petersburg, where they could enter without a baccalaurette. And so there were thousands over the years. It was called the School of Neuropathology, but it also housed a faculty of law. The Imperial Conservatory of St. Petersburg was filled with Jewish students of both sexes. In 1911, a private mining school opened in Katerina Slough.

Well, it wouldn't shock anybody that neuropathology. This is, you know, essentially both psychology and psychiatry today would be entirely Jewish. the Russian Empire financed female education more than elsewhere. Especially under Nicholas II, the money spent on building more, both high schools and universities, was increasing by huge numbers every year and disproportionately for women. Unfortunately, it's also the case that Jewish women were just as involved in the revolutionary movement as as Jewish men were and you know they were actually was quite fashionable Jews being very impression a female being very impressionable they want to do what's fashionable

so they were and they were very effective because at the time you know women were not perceived as as you know revolutionaries or guerrillas as I later as I later became assassins they were used in, you know, in spying, you know, because they could get closer to people far more than men can. They were involved in assassination, especially poison, which was a female method of murder. And when you connect law with psychiatry, you have just a perfect storm of Jewish revolutionary thinking. And regardless of state quotas, worry. It was very difficult for anyone to do anything about this, given the nature of the Russian

Empire, given the power of the Jews in various places. And we all know that the left was far better at propaganda than the right was at the time. And a revolution can't just be physically violent. It also has to try to capture the minds. So having a dual law psychology school was absolutely deadly and it's no surprise that it became a hotbed for revolutionaries and no we've already noticed that those who pointed this stuff out were often murdered as we mentioned a few paragraphs ago

remember this is an era and it was it was under control under Alexander III but it started up again when Nicholas II took over. Jewish terrorism was everywhere. If you were a bureaucrat, even a low level, cops or anything else, you were in danger of being shot or blown up at a moment's notice. And this is, of course, no one's going to talk about this in mainstream life, but Jewish revolutionary terrorism was constant in a constant threat.

Lots of people were live. Lots of Guayem were murdered, especially in the big cities. And that was a constant threat as well. So the state had every reason to worry about what was coming out of these universities and how they were going about their revolutionary action. The universities were a central aspect of this. And it was for the safety of the society, but the state took action. But there was only so much they can do.

Enforcement was always a problem. And unless it was right in the center of a big city, the state had limited options. And often it became a matter of the local population, hence in places like Ukraine, you had the growth of the Union of the Russian people and organizations like that. Admissions of specialized schools,

such as that of health officers, was done with great freedom. Jay Tidal says that at the Saratov School of Nurses of High Quality, very well equipped, Jews from the Pala settlement were admitted without limitation and without prior authorization issued by the police for the displacement. Those who were admitted thus received full rights. This practice was confirmed by the governor of Saratov at the time, Stolopin.

Thus, the proportion of Jewish students could rise to 70%. In the other technical schools of Saratsov Jews from the Pala settlement were admitted without any norm, and many of them continued their studies in higher education. From the Pala Settlement also came a mass of external pupils that did not find their place in university and for whom the Jewish community of the city struggled to find work. To all that is, should be added that the number of establishments where the teaching was delivered in Hebrew was not limited. In the last quarter of the 19th century, there were 25,000 primary schools with 363,000 pupils in the Pala settlement, 64% of all Jewish children.

It is true that in 1883, the old Jewish establishments of the state were closed due to having no use. No one went there anymore. But note, the opening of these institutions was once interpreted by the Jewish publicists as an act and a ruse of the adverse reaction. And today, their closure was also the act of adverse reaction. Yeah, what he's trying to say there is that the Jews abandoned some of these older schools. Hence, they were shut down because no one went there anymore. To this day, Jews will say, well, they will shut down because they were Jewish. This was a reaction to the state.

No, the Jews themselves shut it down. But this is very typical of how they interpret things. Then and now. In summary, the admission quotas did not hinder the Jews' aspirations to education, nor did they contribute to raising the educational level of the non-Jewish people of the empire. They also aroused bitterness and rage among the Jewish youth. But this, in spite of the prohibitions, was going to constitute an intelligentsia of vanguard. It was the immigrants from Russia who formed the nucleus of the first intellectual elite of the future state of Israel.

How many times we read in the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia that notices, sons of small craftsmen, sons of small trader, son of merchant, and further on, completed university. The university diploma initially conferred the right to reside throughout the empire and to serve in the administration, later access to education and academies, universities and public schools, was once again limited. Graduates of the Faculty of Medicine, doctors and pharmacists, were allowed to reside anywhere, whether they practiced their profession or not. And like all those who had completed a higher degree, they could even devote themselves to commerce or other trades, be members of the Merchant Corps without having previously spent five years in the first Guild, in the palest settlement, as was required of other merchants. The Jews, holding the title of Doctor of Medicine, could practice their profession in any district of the empire,

hire a medical secretary and two aides among their co-religionists by bringing them from the palest settlement. The right to reside in any place, as well as a right to trade, was attributed to all those who practiced paramedical professions without having completed a higher education, dentists, nurses, midwives. As from 1903, a requirement was added that these persons should mandatorily practice their field of specialization. I want to point out that despite the Jewish angle of things, this shows you how seriously the Russian Empire took education, that those with various degrees, and you notice how this is organized. It's not as strictly well organized with these boundaries between degrees and gymnasium, high schools,

university, those lines weren't nearly as strict as they are today. It has more to do with your ability and who you were working under than anything else. But you notice the privileges that anyone with a good education received in Russian society. And the very fact, so that's a huge point to make, contrary to all the mythology about how Russia was at the time. It was a very literate society, especially for those who actually needed it. And this also meant that the Russian Empire was growing tremendously, intellectually, economically, industrially, scientifically, and without, you know, a floating currency, a strong state sector, strong state influence, and one of the best protections for workers,

especially under Alexander III than anywhere else in the world, including Britain. It was Germany and the Russian Empire that maintained those standards. This is something that the British Empire had a huge problem with. So it's not just the Jews themselves that were causing trouble. It was the British trying to influence this as well, attempting to overthrow the monarchy, which is what they wanted at least since the Crimean War, if not before. Russia and Germany, because of their tremendous growth at the time, both together, or even both separately, were a huge threat to the Jewish Empire in London. And this is how things are going to develop. This is why so much of the revolutionary movement Jewish and otherwise was located in London.

And so many of the Russian oligarchs, almost all Jewish, were kicked out of the country or fled. most of them ended up in London before they went to Israel, and many of them lived in London, which as far as they were concerned was one and the same. So you had a British angle to all of this, but not only does this show the tremendous literacy of Russian society, how seriously they took education, but how rapidly the Russian Empire was growing and what that meant as far as European politics was concerned. Let me ask, we've reached a natural stop. point. So I wanted to ask you a question because we have a couple minutes left. Have you ever considered the state of Israel to be just a continuation of Bolshevish-Bolshevist Russia?

Well, I mean the Soviet Union? Well, I mean, there comes up to a point where Jews lose their influence in the Soviet Union. The amount of influence they had definitely in the late teens, early, in the late teens and 20s. So is that a point, are they spilling over there? I don't know if I'd go that far. Despite the fact that there were plenty of things that Zionists

and the Bolsheviks or socialists of various kinds had in common, they were two separate movements. We talked about at some length how, and I've been dealing with this on my own show for the last month or so, that it was roughly the late 60s, early 70s, were the Jews separated from the USSR for a whole bunch of reasons.

And because how, you know, the tremendous subsidies Israel was getting from the U.S., emigrating out of the Soviet Union to Israel and the U.S. became the thing to do. We talked about the Jackson-Vannock Amendment. The only time that were sanctions placed on the USSR was concerned Jewish immigration. So it was more of a nationalist movement than any kind of international revolutionary movement. Yes, a lot of it was the same group of people. But by the 1970s, you know, Jews were almost inherently a revolutionary movement. What form that revolution takes, whether it be like the oligarchs, the Bolsheviks, how the Jews ran, the hippie movements, et cetera, in the late 60s using the Vietnam War,

these were different movements all with the same goal. Capitalism and socialism have most things in common, especially late capitalism and embozivism. They function a lot of the same ways intellectually. They have a lot of the same foundations. And while it's true that the Soviet Union did establish the state of Israel, given the time period, despite even the U.S. was helping the Soviet Union rebuild and all that by 1948, the U.S. just cut a much better deal with the Jews, and the U.S. and the Rothschilds in London together.

Yeah, the Soviets couldn't possibly match that. Keep in mind that the Soviet Union was backing what I've considered the national socialist states in Syria and Iraq for a long time, even to this day before the fall of Assad. And so Zionists then really did have a problem with the USSR. Finally, you have a situation where Jews, it became fashionable to oppose the Soviet Union, but only in this era where the Soviets were falling behind. Their infrastructure was not like it was.

1970s was rough, and you see the cracks in the, which I titled my talks on this, cracks in the monolith. The 1970s in high-tech light industry, consumer products, the U.S. was blowing the Soviets out of the water. In other areas, not so much, like military technology. they held their own, in fact, may have been slightly superior. But in a lot of these high profit, high margin areas, the Jews were leaving the USSR. They always had a nose, no pun intended for where the future money was. And it wasn't going to be the USSR.

But the same revolutionary mentality that established the USSR was the same revolutionary mentality that used, quote, private property in the 1990. to bleed the country dry. Really the same group of people, the same mentality, but different methods. Zionism, though, was more of a national movement, and because they were willing to make sacrifices, that first generation was willing to make the sacrifices

that would never make for any other society in building, however violent and genocidal it was, in the late 40s, to build the so-called Zion's dream. And it was always a struggle because they don't have a right to be there. They've made enemies everywhere. So it's not quite the same. And both the early Soviet Union as well as Israel does have American support, Western support.

The industry of the USSR was purely from the West. They didn't have that capacity at the time. They did under the Tsars, but not in the 20s and 30s. So of course, I could draw. plenty of similarities. Like saying that it's a continuation of the Soviet Union is, that's hard for me to agree

with. It's revolutionary wherever it goes, because that's in the Jewish mind. The Jewish genetics is to be revolutionary, to reject logos. Tikun Olam, regardless of what they use. They'll use whatever tools they have at their disposal.

Whether it be oligarchy, bolivism, American liberalism, it just doesn't matter. It has the same result and has the same purpose. So in that sense, of course. But that's not saying anything. Because wherever the Jews function politically, it is revolutionary. But the problem in an entirely Jewish society is that there's really no one to exploit.

So you have Arabs doing most of the work on the kibbutzum early on, American tax money. Keep in mind that the settlers in the West Bank used to be in the United States. Gaza strip before they get kicked down. And now parts of Syria, East Jerusalem, settlers don't work. Just like the Orthodox in Jerusalem, they don't work at all. They're financed by the Israeli state and wealthy Jews outside the country. So there's a million ways I could connect these movements. But the mentality behind them is quite different, despite them all being revolutionary.

Right. So it's just a continuation. It's just one long thread of the revolutionary spirit that Dr. Jones wrote about. Yeah. And he makes that argument. I've made that argument that this is just inherent to the Jewish mind. But once it's just Jews and what they think is their homeland, that mentality is going to change a little bit. One of the reasons that the West sword have turned on Netanyahu was that he's He had these Jewish nationalists in power, so-called extremists, that were engaging, you know, the anti-homosexual stuff in Israel, among Jews, not elsewhere. And, again, the West called them racist and all this. And the left finally, you know, took him to task for this. And this is why it became fashionable to reject Netanyahu even before the war started. where there was huge demonstrations and riots in Israel against Netanyahu

but that's only among Jews everything else we're talking about is where Jews are a minority in a society that they hate but Israel is a different story so exploitation takes on a very different kind of tone they just need they exploit Americans they exploit Arabs but domestically

it's mostly Jews That was the whole point of Israel in the first place. So, you know, it's a lot of the same people. It's a lot of the same mentality. But the methods are extremely different. The one big, big difference is that they go from a minority to a self-conscious majority in a state that they've created for their own purposes. So in that sense, no, it's not a continuation.

But I understand the nature of the question. All righty. This is the point where I tell and remind everybody to go to the show notes, especially if you're looking at the videos. There's links there where you can support Dr. Johnson's work and keep him unemployed so that he can keep us educated. Thank you, my friend. Of course. Talk to you in a couple days.

Thank you.
