I want to welcome everyone back to part 31 of our reading of 200 years together by Alexander Solzhenycin. How are you doing today, Dr. Johnson? I am under attack by a, I don't know what the collective name is, but a swarm of stinkbugs. I don't know what the real name is, but I think a swarm would be somewhat dramatic, but there's a lot of them. And the cats are useless. They don't really care about them too much. But, yeah, you never know what's going to happen around here. Since me and you are both in the middle of nowhere, this sort of thing is to be expected.

I haven't had a stink bug attack in a while, but this year is bad. How are you doing? Doing good. I had a couple get in. Had a couple wasps in the last week get in. So not white Anglo-Saxon Protestants like real wasps. Oh, right, right. The infect, yeah.

Yes. So, yeah, had to. My cats don't care about the stink bugs either, but the wasps, oh, they want to get stung by those really bad. Yeah, yeah, you all have seen the pictures of the dogs who get stung by a bee and their face looks like, you know, looks like a catrish mint. Yeah. All right. Moving on. In addition to the grain trade, the wood trade and sugar industry where they occupied a predominant position. other areas must be cited in which the Jews largely contributed to development.

Flower milling, fur trade, spinning mills, confection, the tobacco industry, the brewery. In 1835, they were also present at the major fairs in Nizhny Novgorod. In Trans-Bakalia, they launched a livestock trade, which took off in the 90s, and the same happened in Siberia for their production of coal. Andero Sugi hard coal and the extraction of gold, where they played a major role. And after 1892, the Ginsburg devoted themselves almost exclusively to the extraction of gold. The most prosperous enterprise was the Lena Gold Mining Company, which was controlled, in fact, from 1896 until its death in 1909, by Baron Horace.

Ginsburg, son of Everald Ginsburg, founder of the bank of the same name and president of its branch in St. Petersburg. The son of Horace, David, also a baron, remained at the head of the Jewish community of St. Petersburg until his death in 1910. His sons, Alexander and Alfred, sat on the board of L. L. Mining Company. Another son, Vladimir, married the daughter of the owner of the Kiev Sugar Factory, L.I. Brodsky. Horace Ginsburg was also the founder of the gold extraction companies from, I'm not going to read these names, and a few others. In 1912, a huge scandal about the Lena mines broke out and caused quite a stir throughout the country.

The operating conditions were abominable. The workers had been misled. Appropriately, the Tsarist government was accused of everything and demonized. No one in the regional liberal press mentioned the main shareholders, notably the Ginsburg's sons. If you go to my archives, the Orthodox Nationalist on Radio Album, you will find, I want to say six weeks ago, maybe two months, maybe a little bit more. I did a lecture on precisely that last few sentences there. The, you know, Jewish left us on the outside, Jewish left this on the inside, pretended to be opponents.

but in fact the agenda was the same and it goes to show the press to a great extent not like in the U.S. under Jewish control there was no censorship at all at least none non effective maybe the few in Petersburg may have been but

yeah they went out of their way to make sure that I mean mining is rough to begin with when you think that you're the miners or Guiam it gets even worse. And, of course, everything that the press said at the time was translated into English in Britain and then eventually found its way to America and not a shred of that story was ever challenged by anybody.

I have a, you know, I spent an hour. I have a paper, I don't know, in very rough form right now on that same topic. But it was, see, given the time period, 1912, This was, you know, the war was only a couple of years away. And the left, which was Jewish, used this without ever saying who ran it, blaming the monarchy. A few people got killed. And, of course, in a very strategic area.

Now, besides that, I'm happy that Shulzhenits and notes that these people are carrying each other. You know, sugar, gold, you know, Jews are clearly involved in monopolizing very lucrative industries, fundamental industries. I mean, coal, you can't get any more fundamental than that, especially at the time. The Rothschild had an interest in the oil in Baku, Azerbaijan today. Baku, of course, the capital city. So they were not just dominating these industries, which were very significant.

strategic, but marrying into one another, so you have even more cohesiveness, even more ethnic focus. I guarantee you that was an arranged marriage for the sake of strategy more than anything else. But there's a lot here. But as far as Alina is concerned, the revolutionaries made a big deal about that, blaming the monarchy for it for some reason, while it was the Jews. who created and violated all of the czarist factory legislation. You can't treat workers like that in Russia.

It's hard to enforce, but they did it anyway. And of course, they essentially invented a story, like the pogroms, like somebody like bloody Sunday, like all the other things that the press there invented and was taken as absolute truth in France, Britain, and then eventually in the U.S., and that is that Lena in particular is repeated word for word from leftist propaganda in the academic literature on the topic today. At the beginning of the 20th century, Jews represented 35% of the merchant class in Russia.

Shulgin gives us what he observed in the southwest region. Where have they gone, Russian traders? Where is the Russian third estate? In time, we had a strong Russian bourgeoisie. Where have they gone? They were ousted by the Jews lowered into the social ladder to the state of Muschiks. The Russians in the southwest region have chosen their own fate. It is clear, and at the beginning of the century, the eminent politician, Viigurko, observed,

the place of the Russian merchant is more and more frequently taken by a Jew. The Jews also gain influence and authority in the booming sector of the cooperative system. More than half of the mutual credit and savings and loan companies were in the palest settlement. 86% of their members in 1911 were Jewish. I don't have a lot to add here because we've dealt with this already. The difference between the Jewish merchants and pretty much any other merchant in the world. We've already discussed the forms of competition, their creation of advertising, the so-called general store where everything else was specialized.

You know, the push cart, these things were unheard of trying to undercut competition. The push cart was important because there was no overhead and that was used to lower the price. And then, of course, once everyone else was out of business, they brought it back up again. And, you know, this wasn't a significant factor in the merchant class prior to the Jews being in. Russian great numbers after the partition of Poland. There's a mountain of literature on this. None of it can really talk about this the way we do.

But Mojik, this is another word for peasant, maybe a lower peasant. But when you talk about the merchant class, you can't just use that word. It's an abstraction. The way that the Jews approached it and the way that Russians and pretty much everyone else approached it are very different. And even when we go back to the Italian

republics. I've dealt with these a few centuries earlier in the created the Renaissance. Jews are in almost every aspect of this, sometimes taking Italian sounding names. They were kicked out of every one of those republics as well. In dealing with Byzantium, eventually they helped bring it down, the empire down.

It gets dangerous, though. When you're starting to see the banking industry falling under their control. And if it wasn't for the monarchy, keeping control of the currency at that level, the entire financial system would have been completely, essentially under Rothschild control with their branches all over the west of Russia. Our history would be very, very different. We have already spoken of the construction and operation of the Russian railways by the

Polly Yakov brothers Blyak and Varsovsky. What with the exception of the very first lines, almost all the railways that were later built were made by concessionary companies in which the Jews occupied the command posts. But as of the 1890s, the state was the first builder. On the other hand, it was under the leadership of David Margolin that was created in 1883, the great shipping company on the NEPA and its tributaries,

the main share holders of which were just. Jews. In 1911, the company owned the fleet of 78 vessels in account of her 71% of the traffic on the Niepper. Other companies operated on the Western Divina, the Neiman, joined the Merensky Canal, and the Volga. There were also about 10 oil companies belonging to Jews from Baku. The biggest were the oil company belonging to the brothers S&M Poliak and to Rothschild and to the joint stock company of the Caspian Black Sea, behind which was found the name of Rothschild. These companies were not allowed to extract oil.

They specialized in refining and exporting. You keep in mind, in the early years of Putin's presidency, they tried to, you know, the oligarchic class that was created in the wake of the fall of the USSR, was almost exclusively Jewish. And if you remember Mikhail Kodikoski, the oil magnate, you know, he was one of the most corrupt billionaire at like, you know, 30, was arrested on his way to sell Siberian oil fields to ExxonMobil.

Putin says, there's a million reasons we have to arrest this guy. but if those fields would have been sold to not only a foreign but a hostile power Russian sovereignty couldn't have existed now I always have to you know use the qualifier that domestically oil natural gas comprised maybe 10% of at the most of Russian GDP I mean Norway is far more dependent on oil than Russia is externally it's higher than that it could be as high as 40% or more depending on how we define oil you know how much

you know that's because that's a huge industry so this isn't the first time this clearly has been a plan of of the Jewish mentality for a long time in Russia and when you talk about coal things like sugar oil the basics like livestock, that's the foundation of an economy. And had the revolution not occurred and had the monarchy remained, they would have had to deal with this in one way or another.

The revolution was either going to look like it did in 1917 or like it did in 1995. It's pretty much the same group of people with the same outcome. But, you know, I think by this point, in the discussion, we realized that the Jews have been bringing these people in after the partitions of Poland was a disaster. Despite how well Russia was doing at the time, contrary to all the mythology, all the peasantry was doing,

and even the merchant class was doing despite all that. This actually was despite the fact that Jews had taken over some of this. And this would have continued in in centralization. And depending on, let's say that Zorniglas survived,

whoever would have come later, they may have found one pliable enough to give over the currency to the Rothschild family. That what if is kind of important, but the revolution was going to occur under Jewish control in one form or another, or Russia would be the largest expulsion of Jews in the many, many times that's occurred in history

in terms of the number of people removed. one of those three things would have had to happen. But it was in finance so that the economic activity of the Jews was the most brilliant. Credit is an area where Jews have long felt at home. They have created new ways and it perfected the old.

They played a leading role in the hands of a few large capitalists and in the organization of commercial investment banks. The Jews brought out of their ranks not only the banking aristocracy, but also the mass of employees. The bank of Evesel Ginsburg founded in 1850, in St. Petersburg, grew and strengthened thanks to its links to the Mendelssohn in Berlin,

the Warburg and Hamburg, the Rothschilds in Paris and Vienna. But when the financial crisis of 1892 broke out, and because of the government's refusal to support its banks with loans, as that happened twice before, E. Ginsburg withdrew from business. By the 70s, there existed a network of banks founded by the three Polyakov brothers, Jacob, Samuel, and Lazare. These are the Azov-Dahn commercial bank to be later managed by B. Kaminka, the mortgage lending of Moscow, the Don Land Bank, the Polyakov Bank, the International Bank, and a few other houses which will later form the Unified Bank. The Bank of Siberia had A. Soloveitchik at its head. The Commercial Bank of Warsaw was directed by I. Blyok.

in several other large establishments, Jews occupied important posts. In two large banks only, the Commercial Bank of Moscow and that of the Volga Kama, there were no Jews either in the leadership or among the staff. The Polyakov brothers all had the rank of secret counselor, and as we have said, all three were granted hereditary nobility. Yeah, there's not much to add to this. There's no denying it. talking like this can get you sent to prison in the European Union and Canada.

But this is where liberal republics come from. That's essentially what a republic is. A monarchy is able to keep a lid on this as much as humanly possible. I'll repeat myself. If Nicholas II has survived, there would have had to have been a mass expulsive or nationalization, which kind of makes more sense or else they would have simply taken over the economy entirely.

You know, a handful of them and foreign policy would have been dictated by banging connections in Britain and France. So these are extremely important issues and numbers, but you're not going to find them in your typical textbook, which means a historian out there in academia writing about this and not talking about this, this era, and not mentioning this, sounds ridiculous.

Whether he knows that he simply can't do it or he just doesn't know, it doesn't matter. But talking about the Russian economy, the turn of the century, and not mentioning all of this, which is what they do, you see the distortion that's going to come out in these textbooks. And the theories that then are based on that without knowledge of this stuff, clearly this was an ethnic economy at certain levels. And it was only a strong monarchy that was able to make sure the land stayed in peasant hands, the Artel or the kind of the commune, although in the cities, with shared tools and everything else, you know, for artisans, they were protected. It's one of the reasons that the commune existed was to make sure that that land was completely inalienable. Had that not existed and had the monarchy not been there, the peasants would have been completely dispossessed. and then mobilized by the Jews to take over whatever Russian government existed. Thus at the dawn of the 20th century, the palest settlement had already completely emptied itself of its substance.

It had not prevented the Jews from occupying solid positions in the vital sectors of the country's life, from economy and finance to the intellectual sphere. The pale no longer had any practical utility. Its economic and political purpose was outdated. It had only filled the Jews with anti-government bitterness and resentment. it had thrown oil on the fire of social discontent and had struck the Russian government with the seal of infamy in the eyes of the West. You know, when you're this privilege, as a Jews were, with this level of power, and of course

they were only promoting each other, you have to invent problems. They're still revolutionaries, despite how well they're treated. One has nothing to do with the other. So you have to create problems. You have to invent stories to give. some mental justification for killing people. And that's where all of this, you know, the pogroms and everything else came from. The Pala settlement was a very privileged part of the empire.

It's always been very porous. Now, of course, it essentially didn't exist. And it was a home base, essentially, for them. Discontent? What are they talking about? No other group in Russia. Maybe the Germans. Yeah, maybe the Germans.

Germans were doing better. But Germans were finding their presence in the state. And sometimes in the Army, the Jews, of course, outside of that in finance. And even the other industries that they controlled, it was still financial. They weren't out in the fields, you know, or in the foundry. They were, you know, it was still a matter of finance. When you have your friends and all these other industries and you're marrying, you know, industries to each other through their children, you have a very very,

powerful and very hostile, tiny minority in the country, but they still were revolutionaries, so they had to create things. And given the neuroticism of the Jewish mind, it wasn't that hard to do. So, again, writing a history of the revolution and not mentioning any of this is what you're going to get is, it sounds nice, but, you know, it's, it's, there's. They're operating with access to maybe half the information. The other half they're not allowed to talk about. So what do you get?

What product are you going to get there? And that's why academia is a joke in these areas. But let us be clear. This Russian Empire with the slowness and sclerosis of its bureaucracy, the mentality of its leaders, where and in what way did it fall behind all through the 19th century and decades before the revolution? It had been unable to settle a dozen.

major problems affecting the life of the country. It had not been able to organize local civil self-government, install Zemfus in rural districts, carry out agrarian reform, remedy the state of pernicious state of humiliation of the church, or communicate with civil society and make its action understood. It had managed neither the boom of mass education nor the development of Ukrainian culture. To this list, let us add another point where the delay proved catastrophic. The revision of the real conditions of the pale of settlement, the awareness of their influence on all positionings of the state. The Russian authorities have had 100 years and more to solve the problems of the Jewish population, and they have not been able to do so. Neither in the sense of an open assimilation nor by allowing the Jews to remain involuntary isolation, that which was already theirs a century before.

This is a very weird paragraph. And I don't know, I don't know what he's, what he's getting at. Civil self-government at the local level was already there. The state apparatus may have, in Petersburg may have empowered it. But it was there, even before Alexander II, it was empowered under Alexander the second. And the reforms of 1861, agrarian reform had been done already. The humiliation of the church, unfortunately, I mean, that's a bit dramatic. But after Peter the Great, you know, I've, I've have, I'm going to.

working on a book on this topic. I have many lectures on it to force the church. And this has nothing to do. We had many great saints in this era. This is, you know, at the level of, you know, the empire as a whole. And it was very, you know, especially financially, it was very tightly controlled at that level. Not doctrine or anything like that. But from Peter the Great to Catherine the second, these essentially westernized,

non- they were they converted to orthodoxy but they really weren't orthodox at all peter great was a freemason the freemasons the free mason's dominated the country in the middle of the 18th century yeah they did do a lot of damage to the church that took a you know a hundred years to be able to work through and of course it ended in 1917 anywhere um so he's right on that one mass education was a fact too i don't know what mass means but um the massive amounts of money the increasing amounts of money spent on education. It was extraordinary under Alexander and Nicholas. Ukrainian culture.

That was a huge error on their part. That's true. But the Jewish question, which we've been talking about, for God knows, it feels like three years now, he couldn't be any more correct. But it certainly wasn't from a lack of trying, and it wasn't from a lack of commissions. That just seemed to be the habitual answer to things,

and it never came up with an answer. The only one that really mattered was the first one. The Dershavin Commission, he explained the problem, but as Jews became more and more powerful, that was forgotten. And as members of the Senate and Russian elites, many of whom were, unfortunately, Freemasons, and Westernizers were in business with these people. So as the commissions went on, as the 19th century went on,

they became less and less relevant because they were being very closely watched, not staffed by the Jews themselves. We spent a lot of time, and I have a paper on the Dershavun Commission. It was extremely important. You don't read about it very much. You don't hear about it very much. That stated the issue.

Everything else was really a way to muddy the waters. And so it certainly wasn't from a lack of trying. But as we've said a hundred times, the state was in a very, very difficult position by the middle of the 19th century as well as where we are. not too long before World War I. Meanwhile, during the decades from the 70s to the beginning of the 20th century, Russian Judaism experienced a rapid development, an undeniable blossoming of its elite, which already felt cramped not only within the limits of the palest settlement,

but in those of the empire. When analyzing the concrete aspects of the inequality in Jewish rights in Russia, the palest settlement and the numerous clauses, we must not lose sight of this general picture. For if American Judaism grew an importance, the Jews of Russia at the beginning of the 20th century still constituted nearly half of the Jewish population of the planet. This is to be remembered as an important fact in the history of Judaism. And it is still Mr. Beekerman, who, looking behind him over the ditch of the revolution,

wrote in 1924, Tsarist Russia was home to more than half the Jewish people. It is natural, consequently, that the Jewish history of the generations that are closest to us is mainly the history of the Jews of Russia. And even though in the 19th century, the Jews of the West had been richer, more influential, and more cultured than we were, the vitality of Judaism was nevertheless in Russia. And this vitality grew stronger and stronger at the same time as the Russian Empire flourished. It was only with provinces populated by Jews were united to Russia that this rebirth began. The Jewish population grew rapidly in number to such an extent that it was able to leave. leave a very numerous colony overseas.

It had amassed and possessed important capital in its hands. A middle class had grown and acquired authority. The standard of living of the lower strata had also grown incessantly. By a variety of efforts, the Jews of Russia had been able to overcome the physical and moral objection which they had brought from Poland. European culture and education reached Jewish circles, and we went so far in the direction, we have amassed such spiritual wealth that we have been able to afford the luxury of having a literature in three languages.

All this culture, all this wealth, it is in Russia that the Jews of Eastern Europe have received them. Russian Judaism, by its numbers and by the greenness of the energies it contains, proved to be the backbone of all the Jewish people. I don't know what he means by the moral objection with an A, not an O. Because wherever they went in the European world, they were privileged or they became privileged. Yet, it's true, the numbers were extremely high. The Russian economy was doing with a few, like that, there was a panic in Russia for a very short time.

But in general, inflation was zero. Taxes were low. The cost of living was low, and wages were, to say, the least competitive anywhere else. else. So it isn't as if the Jews, you know, dominated, everyone else lived in poverty. That's certainly not the case. I do think that has a lot to do with the policies of the monarchy, especially under Alexander of the third. Alexander the third. We talk about Judaism. We're talking about an ethnic group. The religious aspect of it was not relevant and was not important. It was only significant when it had something to do with, you know,

justifying their cohesiveness, justifying revolution or whatever. but that was a secondary concern. This is an ethnic minority, not a religious one, and a hostile minority. And of course, they were always in contact with Jewish elite centers. At this point, of course,

Istanbul, Antwerp, Amsterdam, London, increasingly, New York. And this, you know, that kind of shape that it makes. I probably should mention Paris and they functioned as a unit but in terms of sheer numbers

yeah it was dominated by the Russians and it was a huge problem for the empire the Jews were a problem wherever they go but they were they were an elite in the Turkish Empire and even there they changed their names to sound more more

Turkish, sometimes the sound more Arabic, depending on where they were. But their policies were always the same everywhere. And it's typified by Qazardia. And that's why I focused so much on that in my own research. But it isn't because of the Jews that the Russian economy was doing very well. It was despite them. You mentioned they're changing names. I try to remind people as much as possible or educate people as much as possible that every prime minister of Israel, with the exception of Monachem Begin, changed their name to sound more Middle Eastern. Yeah, it's Exchamir. Yeah.

It's a common tactic, and sometimes we forget about that. It's like the Sephardic Jews. Their last names don't sound, everyone thinks Goldstein and Goldblatt. Sephardic names, sometimes they sound Italian or Spanish. You have to be very careful. A more recent author, our contemporary, confirms in 1989 the correctness of this painting brushed by his elder witness of the time. He wrote,

The public life of the Jews of Russia had reached at the turn of the two centuries, a degree of maturity and amplitude which many small peoples in Europe might have envied. If there is a reproach that cannot be made to the prison of the people, it is to have denationalized the people, be it the Jews or others. Certain Jewish authors, it is true, deplore the fact that in the 80s, the cultivated Jews of the Capitol had hardly been involved in the defense of Jewish interests, that only Baron Ginsburg and a few other wealthy Jews with good relations. The Jews of Petersburg, 30 to 40,000 in 1900, lived unconnected with one another, and the Jewish intelligentsia, and its majority remained aloof, indifference. the needs and interests of the community as a whole. Yet it was also the time when the Holy Spirit of the Renaissance hovered over the palest

settlement and awakened in the younger generations the forces that had been dormant for many centuries among the Jewish people. It was a veritable spiritual revolution. Among Jewish girls, the thirst for instruction showed literally religious signs. And already, even in St. Petersburg, a large number of Jewish students frequently higher education institutions at the beginning of the 20th century, a great part of the Jewish intelligentsia felt that it was its duty to return to its people. Yeah, I think the claim that wealthy Jews in the big cities didn't care about Judaism as a whole,

I think that's, if it existed, this writer is wildly exaggerating it. Their entire, their power comes from their cohesiveness. So I think this might be somewhat of an exaggeration on the author's part. Not Shulteneyton, whoever he's quoting here. Thanks to the spiritual awakening at the end of the 19th century, very diverse and sometimes contradictory trends emerged in Russian Judaism. Some of them will be called upon to determine to a large extent the destinies of our land throughout the 20th century.

At the time, the Jews of Russia envisaged at least six possible orientations, however, incompatible with each other, namely, First, the safeguard of their religious identity by isolation, as had been practiced for centuries, but this path became more and more unpopular. Second, assimilation. Third, the struggle for national and cultural autonomy, the active presence of Judaism in Russia as a distinct element. Fourth, emigration. Fifth, adherence to Zionism. Sixth, adherence to the revolution.

This is a very important list, and he's absolutely correct. You notice that for the most part, while they are very different, they don't contradict. Isolation, immigration, don't have much of an impact. But again, I would like to see that better defined. We don't even know what assimilation means. It's certainly not conversion. Zionism, I guess, would be a form of immigration, but it's certainly not logically contradicted by adherence to the revolution.

National and cultural autonomy is, the exception of immigration, is perfectly compatible with all of them. And you could also be assimilated and still struggle for national and cultural autonomy. I don't know what the identity by isolation, unless it simply means that the old acidic idea of just not really being involved with society, I don't think it means that. But the more I look at this list, the more I realize how close they all are to each other. But even in immigration, they still are going to maintain their contact, depending on who it is, with their families and their community back home.

Moses has already connected Zionism and the revolution. But Jews have never been particularly religious in the modern era. So religious identity, I want to say maybe racial identity there. And it became more and more unpopular because there was, I don't think it was meant to be exploitative. So yes, there definitely, it's more different emphasis. rather than a path you can go on. You could go on two or three of these at the same time. And the only thing, immigration and Zionism,

the right wing in Russia, the Black Hundreds in particular, took that as partially a solution. Their literature, Black Hundreds' literature near the end of the Russian Empire, suggested a mass deportation to the Middle East and support of something like an autonomy. entity there, simply getting them out of the country. For the most part, I think that was also in the Christian Socialist Party in Austria. And the right wing in general kind of had that as a solution.

So these are more personality types than actual ideological agendas, for the most part. And it's not like, you know, those who supported Zionism hated the revolutionaries. it was just a matter of what are we going to do now or what are we going to do in 50 years and the one thing that holds them all together including assimilation is cohesiveness because unless assimilation means the conversion to orthodoxy

then that's probably the vaguest option here then assimilation really just means maintaining your Jewish identity but just not telling people about it just kind of acting, like a normal person in day-to-day life. So I'll conclude by saying that these are personality types, not necessarily agendas that someone's going to be dedicated to in particular.

Indeed, the proponents of these different tendencies were often united in the work of acculturation of the Jewish masses in three languages, Hebrew, Yiddish, and Russian, and in welfare works in the spirit of the theory of small gestures in vogue in Russia in the 80s. Mutual aid was embodied in Jewish associations, some of which, after the revolution, were able to continue their action in emigration. This was the case with the Society for the Dissemination of Education among the Jews of Russia, which had been founded in 1863. By the mid-90s, the society was already opening its own schools with, besides an education in Russian, courses in Hebrew. It convened pan-Russian conferences on the theme of Jewish popular education. In 1891 began the works of a commission of Jewish history and ethnography, which in 1908 became the Society of Jewish History and Ethnography.

It coordinated the study of Jewish history through Russia and the collection of archives. In 1880, the King of Railways, Samuel Poliakoff, founded the Society of Craft and Agricultural Labor among the Jews. The latter collected a good deal of money and devotional. the bulk of its efforts at the beginning of its of its efforts to the transfer of Jewish artisans outside the Pailas settlement to the central provinces. We have seen that after the initial authorization given in 1865 to this transfer, the craftsman moved only in small numbers. What happened after the pogroms of 1881 and 1882?

We can think, now they will certainly leave. They have the help. They have the help the SCAL plus a suburb. subsidy from the government for the displacement, they will not remain there, moping around, confined in the damned pale, where one was condemned to a wretched death, but no. After more than 10 years of efforts on the parts of the SCAL, only 170 artisans moved. The SCAL decided that to help artisans inside the pale by purchasing tools, setting up workshops, and then creating professional schools. This is, I mean, he's funny. he knows he's funny in writing this

but he's tongue and cheek talking about what your typical academic thinks was going on in the pale at the time the pale wasn't a prison you could pretty much do whatever you want taxes were lower as we said before it was a privileged part of the empire

and he's deliberately stating it as if well Jews were so tormented by the government apparently, but that's okay because they'll get a subsidy from the same government to move elsewhere. Which, of course, he worded it that way very much on purpose. And, you know, the mentality was that this,

oh, these were minor civil wars. But why would there be displacement after a program? It wasn't, you know, very few people died. Mostly were Russian. Armed Jews usually started it. And that's simply, that's a fact of the matter. We've dealt with that already. there wasn't a whole lot of property damage

but that's how it's going to be explained and we know that that's the case at least in part because they wouldn't leave why would why would Poliakov give a damn whether they stay in the pale or not the only possible reason he could have

is that in spreading them around he can increase their influence but again artisans now I'm talking about you're like we would say basically the trades today working with your hands in a very skilled way we've already established that that's a small minority of the Jewish population so I think this was kind of a made-up issue more than anything else just like they wouldn't farm the land they really

weren't going to work with their hands it certainly existed you know butchers and things like that but it was hardly an important part of the other Jewish community at the time. Immigration was taken over by the Society for Colonization by the Jews, whose creation followed the opposite course, first abroad, then in Russia. It was founded in London in 1891 by Baron Moritz von Hirsch, who, for the purpose, made a donation of two million pounds sterling. His idea was the following.

To substitute the chaotic emigration of the Jews of Eastern Europe with a well-ordered colonization oriented towards the countries requiring cultivators, and thus to bring back at least part of the Jews to the cultivation of the land, to free them from this anomaly, which arouses the animosity of the European peoples. To seek for the Jews who leave Russia a new homeland and to try to divert them from their usual activity, trade, make them farmers,

and thereby contribute to the work of the rebirth of the Jewish people. This new homeland, it would be Argentina. Another objective was to divert the wave of Jewish, immigration away from the shores of the United States where, owing to the influx of immigrants, the wage decline induced by their competition, there rose the specter of anti-Semitism. As it was proposed to populate this land with Jews of Russia, an office of the Society for Colonization opened in St. Petersburg in 1992. It set up 450 information offices and 20 neighborhood committees. They received the candidates for immigration to help them obtain their exit

papers from the territory. They negotiated with the maritime messengers. They procured travelers with tickets at reduced prices. They published brochures on countries likely to welcome new settlers. Sliasburg denounces in passing the fact that no person not holding a double title as a banker or a millionaire had access to their direction. Well, I think our listeners already have figured out that this society for colonization, the justification for it is complete propaganda. And the Hirsch and others who set it up knew that. This had nothing to do with making them cultivators. I guarantee you that it's a double entendre, that cultivators meaning the revolution

for Jewish power or wherever. What they really mean is they're sending Jews to places that don't have a lot of them, but still there's a lot of potential. for money making to create a network to even out the numbers. I've heard of Argentina before. It obviously didn't last long. I don't know why Argentina. The Zionist movement was

The Zionist movement tended to focus on Middle East. But immigration, which is specifically the issue here, there was a lot of other places. Of course, depending on what year we're talking about, let's say you know, 1900. The Jews were just starting to get a towhold in places like New York, especially Brooklyn, places like that. But this has nothing to do with getting people to farm the land. That was written with the Goyam in mind, acting like that's even an issue.

Obviously, that's not the case. It's about power. It's about evening out the population. It's about making sure that there's a substantial community. in most politically or economically significant parts of Europe and the Americas. I know this is something we keep bringing up, but most people, and maybe this is the first episode, some people will hear. But this society for colonization was open in St. Petersburg in 1892, and they opened up 450 offices

and had 20 neighborhood committees. If all of the Jews were in jail in the Pala settlement, how do they have 400, 150 information offices in St. Petersburg in 1892. There were magical people. Since the end of the 19th century, the emigration of Jews from Russia had been growing steadily for various reasons, some of which have already been mentioned here. One of the most serious of these was a compulsory conscription. If so many young men, it is Denneken, who writes it chose to mutilate themselves, was it not better to emigrate? especially when we know that conscription simply did not exist in the United States.

The Jewish authors are silent on this motif in the Jewish Encyclopedia itself in the article the Emigration of the Jews of Russia does not say a single word of it. It is true that this reason does not explain on its own the immigration boom in the 90s. Another reason also of significance, the provisional regulations of 1882. The third major shock was the expulsion of Jewish craftsmen from Moscow in 1891. and also this other very violent, the establishment of the state monopoly on spirits in Russia in 1896, which deprive all the tenants of drinking places of their income and reduce the revenues of the distillers. Sliusberg, those who had been expelled from the villages or provinces of the interior were volunteers for immigration.

Sheeranson notes that in the 80s, an average of 15,000 Jews emigrated each year, and that they were up to, that was up to 30,000 in the 90s. Well, that's probably a legitimate list of things. We already talked about the monopolization of vodka, and it did hurt the Jews to some extent. We also, keep in mind, we've dealt with this a while ago, that the word craftsman, and this is relevant to the other paragraph we just were talking about, Jews were never very honest as to what they did.

They would claim to be a cultivator or a craftsman and have nothing to do with it. I think it was a few weeks ago we came across that issue in Jolzhenitsyn. And it was precisely because they were not craftsmen. They were merchants trying to undersell Russian merchants that they were kicked out. That and beyond the fact that they were, of course, revolutionaries. but the establishment of the monopoly and this is roughly around the time where the Union of the Russian people was being founded in Ukraine

there was some reaction. Nicholas II was well aware of the Jewish issue whether that was important or not I'm not 100% sure but I'm willing to say that that was a big chunk of the reason why you had this emigration which as far as Russians are concerned was a very good thing. The attitude of the Russian authorities in the face of this growing immigration, a genuine boons of the state, was benevolent.

The Russian government readily agreed to the establishment of the SCJ in St. Petersburg and the measures that it adopted to promote emigration. It did not interfere in any of its aspects, authorizing the age group of the conscripts to emigrate with their families. It issued free exit visas and granted special rates on trains. On one condition, however, once gone, the immigrants were never to return to Russia again. Now, that's a commission I can get behind. It's a commission I can get behind, but enforce, again, it's always about enforcement, isn't it?

They were smugglers. You know, they acted as a crime syndicate, which is why they adapted so easily in the U.S., in New York and in a few other places, Chicago, during Prohibition. There were plenty of people in Russia who knew what was going on, including in the royal family. The peasantry always knew what was going on. Russian merchants more than anyone knew what was going on. So Jews were starting to realize that they're pushing, but they have no conception of pulling back. That's not in their vocabulary. So immigration was sort of a way to release some of the pressure.

Their population was exploding, but both the royal family and many other segments of the population had had enough. To cross the ocean, it was necessary at the time to pass through England, which meant that in the English port cities, there was provisionally a crowd of Jewish emigrants, some of whom remained and settled in Great Britain, while others returned there after an attempt to settle in the United States. As early as 1890, English public opinion rebelled against the policy of the Russian government. The Jewish question is constantly occupying the columns of the British newspapers.

In America, too, the question of the situation of Jews and Russia remains day after day of actuality. Having assessed the propositions that this migratory flow was likely to take, Great Britain soon closed its doors. Well, we've dealt with this as well. Britain, especially its media, was so dominated by Jews. I mean, this was the home of the Rothschild family, that this became an obsession, like race in America. It was the same mentality.

it was a way to, whether the ultimate point of or purpose of British policy was to overthrow the monarchy and bring about a liberal leftist revolution, what occurred, you know, the February revolution, Masonic revolution in Russia. That was, that was the point. Jews realized that so long and Karl Marx said this, Engels said this, most major Marxist writers at the end of the 19th century said this. after Marx so long as the Russian Empire exists that is so long as the Russian monarchy exists revolution throughout Europe

is not going to happen for that to happen the Russian crown has to go and this was said by Jews all over the place it was simply too wealthy too large growing too quickly

and too aware of the Jewish problem and after the reigns of Alexander and Nicholas Nicholas I first before them, before Alexander the second You know, this knowledge of what the Jews were in Russia was growing The monarchy in Russia was a huge block to Rothschild domination of that market The currency and gold reserves and everything else

The monarchy had to go Which is one of the reasons, probably maybe even the dominant reason Why the Jewish question was such an obsession in in the so-called British media at the time. I'll do one last paragraph and leave it off there because it looks like there's a little bit of a break here. Okay. The immigration to Argentina had also stopped in 1894. The Jewish encyclopedia described this as a brooding crisis in the Argentine question.

Slios Berg spoke of the disenchantment of immigrants in Argentina. The disgruntled rebelled and sent collective petitions to the administration of Baron Hirsch. the Duma debates highlighted a situation similar to the experience in new Russia. Immigration to Argentina provides examples that confirm that in many cases people have received land on very advantageous terms, but have abandoned it to engage in other trades more in line with their abilities. If Russians at this point hadn't learned this, then they really need to find another job. This is one thing absolutely undeniable. Like the sun's going to come up in the morning.

That last sentence is absolutely and precisely true. You didn't need Argentina. I don't know that much about the immigration there or why there. You don't need the Argentine situation to convince you of that. That's been the experience in Russia for the last hundred years. All right. So we'll come back with episode 32. I encourage everyone to go to the show notes.

Go to the show notes on the videos that are posted on YouTube. on Rumble and on Odyssey, click the links and support Dr. Johnson's work so he can keep educating us here. Thank you, my friend. Of course. I appreciate it, and I'll talk to you in a couple days. Thank you, Dr. Johnson. I want to welcome everyone back to part 32 of our reading of 200 years together by

Alexander Solzhenycin. I hesitate to ask this question, but how are you doing, Dr. Johnson? Well, you're right to hesitate. But I'm doing better. I'm doing better. The power outage tested every nerve I've ever had. And I think I'm living in an area where this grass, I mow the lawn. Five minutes later, it's three feet high.

I don't know if this is like an invasive species that has come here. But it's, it's, I'm starting to think maybe I'm going nuts or maybe I'm just living in a, I'm living in a place where they're experimenting on, on different grasses. but no matter how many times IMO it 10 minutes later, it's a jungle. The Viet Conger's out there right now. I don't know what to do. Well, I'm glad that's, I'm glad you're back to normal because I know that was a trying couple days.

I felt for you as someone who lives without power for, you know, when you're a south, when you live in South Florida for a long time, there are going to be periods of time when you live without power because of the stupid hurricanes and everything. But, you know, I understand your extra frustration. be due to, you know, the circumstances up there. So, all right, here we go. Picking up where we left off the last time. The immigration to Argentina had also stopped in 1894.

The Jewish Encyclopedia described this as a brooding crisis in the Argentine question. Slewisberg spoke of the disenchantment of immigrants in Argentina. The disgruntled rebelled and sent collective petitions to the administration of Baron Hirsch. The Duma debates highlighted a situation similar to the experience in New Russia. Immigration to Argentina provides examples that confirm that in many cases, people have received land on very advantageous terms, but have abandoned it to engage in other trades more in line with their abilities. I forgot all about this.

I was going to look up the whole story behind why Argentina. and I completely forgot about it. I know Argentina is essentially a white country. Advanced, you know, in 1982, they clearly defeated the British and the Falcons War. I have a paper on that on my Patreon. And I have a theory as to why it was called the defeat and why they surrendered,

despite the British being completely exhausted. But these are white people. This is a first world society. I guess maybe after the debt and the austerity programs, maybe not anymore. But I think it was the case back then. I think it was a case until 1982, at least the 80s. But more than that, I don't know why Argentina was chosen. After this, although its vocation remained in the principle of pushing the Jews to become farming settlers,

The Society for Colonization renounced this objective. It set itself the task of helping the excessively disorderly emigration of Jews from Russia. It was concerned with providing information to the immigrants, defending their interests, being the connection with host countries, and it had to modify its statutes, which had been bequeathed by Baron Hirsch. Large sums were allocated to raise the standard of living of Jews in their places of residence, from 1898 onwards, action was taken among the population within Russia itself and in the existing Jewish agricultural colonies, the introduction of more modern tools and methods of cultivation, the granting of an advantageous credit for the improvement of the soil. However, again,

despite the large sums invested in this sector, agricultural activity remained relatively stagnant. Conversely, migratory flows outside Russia continue to increase, in direct connection with the craft crisis and the gradual elimination of small trade and factories, this flow reached its peak in 1906, but was not able to absorb the annual surplus of the population of the Jews. It should be noted that the great mass of immigrants was destined for the United States. For example, in 1910, they were 73%. From 1881 to 1914, 78.6% of immigrants from Russia landed in the United States. From this period, we can thus see what will be the general movement of our century. Note that at the entrance to the American territory, no paper certifying craftsmanship was required, and it followed that during the

first six years of the century, 63 percent of Russian immigrants engaged in industry. This meant that those who left Russia for America were exclusively artisans. This could offer an explanation to the question as to why the artisans did not go to the central provinces, which were now open to them, but it is also necessary to consider that for many immigrants, and especially for those who had neither resources nor trade, no other answer was possible than that of recognizing themselves as part of the category notoriously well accepted by the Americans. Well, just in case people forgot, we've been over this before. The Jews in Russia acted very much like an organized crime syndicate.

they had things like, you know, no show jobs, no work jobs. Most of the craftsmen were, in fact, not craftsmen. We talked about this in the middle of last month. Maybe it came up. They were lying about their jobs for various benefits. How many of them were actually craftsmen? How many of them were actually involved in the production of anything worthwhile? That number is still up in the air.

but and of course he kind of hints at it again here by saying that well since it wasn't required for them to explain what they were doing

or prove it they got away with it so and I and also don't forget that when the state took over the liquor trade

made it a monopoly many Jews you know said okay that was my thing I have to leave but new opportunities were opening too

So it's terribly unfortunate that these were some of the most leftist Marxist Jews imaginable were coming to this country. And whenever they reached a certain critical mass, bad things start happening. But as far as Russia is concerned, this was very good news. And I just wish they would have stepped up policies such that they would, you know, peaceably with their assets, just were able to leave. the country. That would have changed history forever. One is struck by how few of the emigrants are the individuals belonging to the cultivated stratum, the one allegedly the most persecuted in Russia. These people did not emigrate. From 1890 to 1907, they were barely 1% to do so. The Jewish intelligentsia did not in any way

tend to emigrate. It was, in its eyes, a way of escaping the problems and fate of Russia at the very moment when opportunities for action were opening up. As late as 1882, the resolution of a Congress of Jewish public figures called for a definite rejection of the idea of organizing an emigration, for this idea contradicts the dignity of the Russian state. In the last years of the 19th century, the new generation wanted to be actively involved in history. And across the board, from outside as well as from the inside,

it has gone from defensive to offensive. young Jews now want to write their own history to affix the seal of their will to their destiny and also to a just extent on the destiny of the country in which they live. Well, that's a, you know, no one likes reading that. And that's exactly what they did. Their cohesiveness was a central element there and their wealth comes from their cohesiveness. Now, how many, once the revolution broke out,

and once it established itself after the Civil War, say, so 1922, how many of them moved back? Oh, my God, it's a promised land now. I don't know the answer to that. I know that Trotsky came over and brought hundreds, at least, from Brooklyn back to Russia during the Civil War, even just before the Civil War. How many went back on their own?

I don't know. But I have the feeling that would be a relative It would be a small number. But especially during wartime, it became clearer. And this is, remember, prior to the Great Depression, that America was becoming, in their minds, the promised land, because it was far more open, far more freer in terms of finance than Russia was. They could, you know, Jewish organized crime was just getting its foothold, and then it exploded. when prohibition came into existence.

So I had the feeling it wasn't a huge number that went back, but there's no doubt that they supported whatever was going on in Russia at the time. The only people who suffered were, of course, Russians. The religious wing of Russian Judaism also denounced emigration, considering it a break with the vivifying roots of East European Judaism. That's an... There's a lot in that sentence right there. The secular efforts of the new generation were primarily concerned with a vast program of specifically Jewish instruction, culture and literature and Yiddish, the only ones capable of creating a link with the mass of the people.

According to the census of 1897, only 3% of Russian Jews recognize Russian as their mother tongue, while Hebrew seemed forgotten and no one thought it could be reborn. It was proposed to create a network of libraries specifically designed for Jews. Newspapers in Yiddish, the daily defrained appeared in 1903, and it sold like hotcakes in the villages not belong to any political party, and nevertheless sought to give political training. It was in the 90s that took shape the grandiose metamorphosis of the amorphous Jewish mass into a nation, the Jewish Renaissance. As late as 1897, 3% were speaking Russian as their normal day-to-day life. I think that's what they mean by by mother tongue. That's how, I mean, they're not even speaking the language. And I think they're going out of their way to make sure because, you know, you want to oppress someone.

You want to, you want to exploit someone. It's better that you have very little in common with them. And that sentence, 3% as late as 1897, these Jews had zero in common with Russians. And it was very easy for them to end up, you know, destroying or, or exploiting the mass of the guillament that would do for the next 100 years. One after another, writing in Yiddish became very popular. Mendel Mokker-Serferam, Shlom Eilicham, Etzaklevish Peretz, and the poet Bialek to follow the movement translated his own poems into Yiddish.

In 1908, this trend reached its peak at the Chernofsky Conference, which proclaim Yiddish as the national language of the Jewish people. and advocated the translation of all printed texts into Yiddish. At the same time, considerable efforts were made for the Jewish culture in the Russian language. Thus, the 10 volumes of the Jewish Library of Historical and Literary Content, the Petersburg magazine born from 1881, Rassvet, then Ruski-Evri, they soon stopped appearing. These publications did not meet the support of the Jewish public itself.

The magazine Voschad opened its pages to all Jewish authors, translating all the novelties, offering a place of choice for studies on Jewish history. May we Russian show the same interest in our own history. For the time being, the dominant role in the public life of Russian Judaism was held by the Jewish Petersburg. Toward the middle of the 90s, almost all senior management was formed, the Jewish intellectual aristocracy, all the talents are in Petersburg. According to an appropriate calculation, only 67,000 Jews spoke Russian fluently in 1897, but it was the cultivated elite. And already, the whole younger generation in Ukraine in the 90s was raised in Russian, and those who went to study in the high schools completely lost contact with Jewish education.

There was not strictly speaking a slogan of the type, assimilation. We must blend into the Russian element, nor an appeal to renounce one's nationality. assimilation was a commonplace phenomenon, but it created a link between Russian Judaism and the future of Russia. Moreover, Slausberg refused to term assimilation. Nothing was more opposed to the truth than to say that assimilated persons considered themselves Russian under the Mosaic law. On the contrary, the appetite for Russian culture did not exclude, did not exclude confessing the traditions of Hebrew culture. However, after the disillusionment of the 80s, certain Jewish intellectuals deeply imbued with the idea of assimilation felt a break in their conception of public life. Soon, their soon was only one Jewish organization left, one party defending assimilation. However, while it had given up arms as a theory, it remained a very real part of the life of Jews of Russia, at least among those who lived in the big cities.

But it was decided to break the link between emancipation and assimilation. In other words, to obtain one and not the other, to gain equality but without the loss of Jewishness. In the 90s, Voskha's primary objective was to fight for the equal rights of Jews in Russia. You know, you read this stuff and you roll your eyes so much that you get cramps in your eye muscles. We've asked this question before. What do they mean by assimilation? I have the feeling there's a spectrum here. It certainly isn't becoming Russian.

To remove orthodoxy from what's considered Russian culture doesn't make any sense. It's like removing Buddhism from Tibetan culture. What you have left is just a patchwork of, you know, a gaggle of nothing. Everything from cuisine on down comes from the, especially the calendar. I think what he means here is that we learn the language, we act like we're no different than everybody else, but we know, and when we're amongst our own people, we know that that isn't true.

Learning Russian, which, again, still blows my mind. Only 3% could even speak it. Of course, that was changing. So just by that comment alone, I'm thinking assimilation at this point meant speaking Russian without a heavy accent such that we could present ourselves as, oh, I'm no different than you, which would be weaponized as a way to get close to people that normally would be opposed to them. A defense office for the Jews of Russia had been formed in St. Petersburg at the beginning of a century,

the members of which were eminent advocates and men of letters. Before them, Baron Hirsch had been the only one to work as they did. It was to him that all the grievances of the Jews went. Sliusberg speaks to us in detail about its founders. During those years, the Jewish spirit awoke for the struggle. The Jews were assisted to a strong thrust of their self-consciousness, public and national, but a conscience now devoid of any religious form. The village is deserted by the most fortunate.

The village is abandoned by the young people, gone to join the city, the galloping urbanization, undermined the religion in broad sections of the Jewish population from the 90s, and caused the authority of the rabbis to fall. The scholars of the Talmudic schools themselves were seduced by secularization. That being said, the biographical notes of the Jewish Encyclopedia, concerning the generation that grew up at the turn of the 19th and 20th century, often include the words received a traditional religious education. On the other hand, as we have pointed out, what developed with unpredictable

and in an unexpected form was Palestinianophilia. Or Palestine. It's just another word. Yeah, it's just another word for Zionism. I think that's a terrible word to use, because philia, meaning love of something, is probably not the best word use, maybe geography.

But remember, when we talk about Jews, especially Russian Jews, the word religious doesn't mean the same as it does for anyone else. The Talmud was, for the most part, a secular set of books. You could be an atheist. God could be simply a collective, the collective Jew, or as I say, Adam Cadman, the new man after their revolution. anti-Christ himself, however you want to put it,

you don't really have to believe in God for any of this. You know, Kabbalah is a metaphysical book, their set of books, Zohar, etc. Not necessarily purely theological. After their rejection of logos at Christ's execution and resurrection, they were looking for they had already been deeply corrupted

and they were looking for something to replace it but part of the Jewish revolutionary spirit is their lack they're nominalists there is no universal truth in the world we have to create it we have to impose ourselves on it now you can call this religious but as far as I'm concerned this is all very secular so these words are very slippery

like so much in terms of the Jewish identity but being a telmatist doesn't mean you were a religious Jew. And that seems to be somewhat of the implication here. And I reject that totally out of hand. The events in Russia could not but be perceived by the Jews of Russia and by the Russians involved in public life in light of what was happening at the same time in Europe. Contacts were then free and frequent between educated people and the borders were permeable to ideas and events.

European historians point to a 19th century anti-Semitism, a growing animosity toward Jews in Western Europe, where, however, it seemed that we were making great strides towards its disappearance. Up to Switzerland, where the Jews in the middle of the century had not been able to obtain freedom of residence in the townships, the freedom to trade or to exercise handicrafts, In France, it was the blast of the Dreyfus affair. In Hungary, the old-landed aristocracy accused

the Jews of having ruined it. In Austria and in present-day Czech Republic, at the end of the 19th century, an anti-Semitic movement was spreading, and the petty bourgeoisie fought the Social Democratic proletariat with anti-Jewish slogans. In 1898, but bloody pogroms took place in Delicia. The rise in all countries of the bourgeoisie increased. the influence of the Jews, grouped in large numbers in capitals and industrial centers, in cities such as Vienna and Budapest. The press, the theater, the bar, the medical profession found in their ranks of percentage of Jews much higher than their percentage to the population of a whole. Those years marked the beginning of the great fortunes of certain Jewish merchants

and bankers. And this, this doptails perfectly with what E. Michael Jones had laid out in great detail in barren metal and a few other works. This initially started as an anti-capitalist. I don't mean anti-free market. I mean an anti-capitalist movement. Capitalism means the rule of capital, that they dominate, you know, this handful of capitalists dominate everything. They're inherently internationalists,

and that automatically means Jews were a huge part of it. Their opposition were actual nationalists of various types, not the civic type. And, of course, orthodoxy and Catholicism and more than anything else, the monarchy, Germany, Russia, and Austria. I can't say Turkey. That doesn't work. So this is a lot more, you know, Jews are now associated with this. This is an era like in U.S., you know, you have the trust busters coming in a short time later on.

You have monopoly capital developing this explosion of technology and industry and how people were treated, you know, working in a factory. And this time was something what I imagined hell to be like. Russia was a little better because of the factory legislation, but everywhere it was brutal. The very opposite of what you would have in the countryside. There is no getting around the fact that the Jews were a part of this, a huge point. of this. They fashioned the ideology of the whole thing. We talked about this already, various forms of competition, the destruction of the guilds. This is what they mean by liberation or equal rights. Now, this is the rule of a handful of capitalists who were completely anti-royalists,

either were Jews or associated with them closely, and you see the beginnings of this desire for at least in Europe a one market so you know transaction costs would be minimal minimal there's no you know they were never nationalists you know maybe lower levels maybe

but if you're a major capitalist you know huge factories you want you have factories all over the place you need your raw materials from around the world colonies or wherever they're internationalists by definition and something that Marxism always stated that nationalism came from Bush-Razi.

I don't think so. This was always an internationalist phenomenon. You needed so many raw materials. You needed a huge market. You needed workers, the destruction of the countryside. And the one force that was in the way of all of this was the Russian monarchy. So what he's saying here is it's very good.

It's not like Jews were thrown in with a much bigger capitalist problem. Capitalism, as Karl Marx would say, is a very revolutionary doctrine. It changed everything. We talked about what a real proletariat is, proletarian is, and why they were picked

to be the revolutionary entity. It's only because they were so alienated. Leaving the village, living in those filthy, you know, cities were exploding in the worst possible way. You know, they became machines. cogs in this huge capitalist machine in those factories. And of course, you had, you had, you know, royalists and right-wingers all over the place fighting this.

Of course, the Marxists claim to be, but they just created the same thing, just under their control. But so it really was people like Thomas Carlyle in Britain, who was at war with this kind of mentality. The thing that, you know, the Jews are heavily, and they're financing it. and the railroads. I mentioned that before in the 1848 revolution, the exposure of the Rothschilds, where you had Austrian and French labor, and all it was very dangerous labor much at the time,

and the only group of people who profited were the Rothschild family, and they don't work. And they see Jews in their own place, undercutting everybody, growing incredibly wealthy, barely able to contain their hatred for the glory, and this is where this revolution came from. Now, E. Michael Jones was the very first time ever heard the 1848 revolutions

treated as positive things. Usually, you know, this was a Masonic movement. But from that point of view, the anti-capulous part of this, I'm not talking about the French commune or any Paris commune, but the anti-capitalist side of this, capitalism is a revolutionary doctrine that was simply, taken over by Marxists for their own purposes. Marxism never had anything to do with workers.

I'm telling you this, and certainly not farmers, it was their ability to take over these factories and run them themselves for as long as they could, and then strip them all down and disappear when they couldn't do it anymore, which was right 1990s, 1990s Russia. So remember, I'm not talking about the free market. I had to make this distinction. I made it in college. The free market might be mythical,

but the rule of capital, essentially an oligarchy, that was heavily Jewish. We can't go into the opium wars, but this is what I'm talking about. States, governments, were using, especially the British, were using their Navy

to enforce private contracts, a very powerful capital. It happened in Turkey. It happened in Greece. And there were very few countervailing powers to this. And as far as Eastern Europe is concerned, the countervailing power was the monarchy. That's why he had to go as far as this group of people was concerned.

But it was in Germany that the anti-Jewish tendencies manifested themselves with the greatest insistence. Let us first name Richard Wagner as early as 1869. In the 70s, conservative and clerical circles demanded that the rights of German Jews should be restricted and that any new Jewish immigration should be banned. From the end of the 70s, the intellectual circles themselves, whose spokesman was the Prussian historian Heinrich von Triske, said, The agitators of today have well-perceived the mindset of society

which regards the Jews as our national misfortune. The Jews never succeed in merging with the peoples of Western Europe and show hatred towards Germanism. Then comes Carl Eugene Duren, made famous for his polemic with Marx and Engels. The Jewish question is a simple matter of race, and the Jews are a race that is not only foreign, but irredeemably and ontologically bad.

Then comes the philosopher Edward Hartman. In the political sphere, the movement led to the first international anti-Jewish Congress of 1882 in Dresden, which adopted the manifesto addressed to the Christian peoples and governments that are dying of Judaism, and demanded the expulsion of Jews from Germany. But in the early 90s, the anti-Jewish parties had regressed and suffered a series of setbacks on the political scene.

I've mentioned before that one of the great manifestations of this was a Christian socialist party in Austria. And there were many others. Tritka, I'm glad he's mentioned here. I have his collected works right here in my office in English. you know because of these massive the revolutionary nature of these massive concentrations of money power

and and the tremendous Jewish influence and domination of the whole thing was turning everyone off this was this was a revolution that had to be enforced this is one of the reasons that Karl Marx wrote before all this the Udayan Fragha harsh language for the Jews.

I think most Marxists want to forget about it, but you can't deny it very early in his career. Right around the time he wrote the around the time he wrote the manifesto. But because, you know, people like Metternich, certain elites within the bureaucracies in different countries in Western Europe were very much indebted to Jewish power.

I mean, Metternich escaped the 1848 revolution only because he had a letter from the Ross Charles that he was able to escape. That was his passport, so to speak. And that's the knee Michael Jones' book as well. And it wasn't so much that they loved Jews so much, but they were indebted to them.

They needed their money. They needed their acumen. That's part of the reason why they became what they became. And, you know, we're also reaching an era where conservative now somehow can be connected with, like Metternich is still called conservative today when he simply wasn't. You can't be a conservative, especially in the 19th century,

sense of the term, and be in bed with Jewish elites. They were inherently revolutionary wherever they went. And you're starting to see with the growth of these monopolies, these massive, what we would call conglomerates today. And even in the U.S., the railroad and the liberalism that they were based upon. Just yesterday, I was reading about the radical Republicans after the U.S. Civil War. And it's shocking. You know how they just despised white people. Charles Sumner, that whole group, they are the author of our current racial policy. I mean, they were, they advocated the complete

ethnic cleansing of parts of the South. And almost everyone, almost every one of the major radical Republicans, constructionists were deeply tied in with the railroads. And so these huge capitalists, and the railroads used to be this big, you know, the example, the archetype of very concentrated capital is now connected with this ideology. You can't have any source for rebellion. We know what the rule of capital did in Ireland, just a few decades before the era we're talking about here. and the Jews were absolutely dominant in Britain and they were refusing to assist they eventually did they were refusing to assist

the starving Irish because we can't avoid the principle of free trade they said that over and over again peel and everyone else so you have a revolutionary movement the Jews are a huge part of it and then very shortly you have them a more centralized version of this

in Leninism they're not that different from each other. I've been saying this for a long time. And that was, it was just starting to get into focus at the time. So you have a Christian socialist party. These were not leftists in Vienna. These were your,

clerical, true, like essentially national socialist types, you know, in a very broad sense. That was developing here. Trichka being another one. And they were aware of this, of this connection. And maybe that's,

maybe that's happening again, which is why these laws are in place, that you throw anyone in prison for, at least in the EU, for mentioning any of this stuff. It's just very, very, it's very embarrassing, and it's very, it's very heartbreaking. France was also the scene, if not of the emergence of an equally aggressive racial theory, at least of a broad anti-Jewish political propaganda, the one broadcast by Edouard Drummond in his Libre parole from 1892, then came a real competition between socialism and anti-Semitism. The socialist did not hesitate to embellish their speeches of outputs against the Jews and to lower themselves right up to anti-Semitic demagogu. A social anti-Semitic fog enveloped the entirety of France, very similar to the

propaganda of the populace in Russia in the years 1881 to 1882. And it was then that in 1894, the thunderous Dreyfus affair broke out. In 1898, it reached its climax throughout Western Europe, in Germany, France, Great Britain, and the United States. The Russian press of the years 1870 to 1890 also issued some anti-Jewish sentiments, but without the strong theoretical coloring they had in Germany, not the exacerbated social violence in Austria-Hungary in France. Let us recall the accounts of Vesevalad Khrstovsky, Egyptian Darkness, among others, and some crude newspaper articles. It is appropriate to set apart the newspaper of the New Times, which owed its success to its engaged positions to the Slav movement, linked to the Russo-Turkish War for the defense of the Balkans.

But when from the theater of operations were received reports on acts of plunder perpetrated by intendants and suppliers, these suppliers of Jewish origin appeared as the incarnation of all Russian Judaism, and the New Times adopted a frankly anti-Semitic stance. Beginning in the 80s, the newspaper did more than go into the camp of reactionaries. It went beyond all the limit of hatred and improbity in the Jewish question. The warning cry, beware the Jew, resounded for the first time in the columns of the New Times. The paper insisted on the need to take firm measures against the Jew's stranglehold over Russian science, literature and art. It did not miss an opportunity to denounce the fact of withdrawing from military service.

So you have this growing proletariat and, of course, it had been growing all over the place in Europe. And it was growing everywhere. Almost by definition, it was an urban part of the movement. Who's going to get to them first? Which ideology? Is this going to get to them first? I mean, it's something that, you know, the Third Reich that was successful. So many of the early followers were former Marxists in the 20s and 30s. Or is it going to be this new form of Rothschild finance international socialists under Karl Marxin has successors in the international. And it depended on the country. So this was an era where it was a possibility that many, you know, nationalists, true nationalist,

or social nationalists were going to get to them first and it was successful in a few places but this is also the time where socialism was then torn from any kind of, you know, initially a right-wing concept an idealistic

and very Christian concept as Bakunin, the head of the anarchist movement in Russia said once the Rothschilds got involved and started financing Marx and the international and then other Jewish bankers in the West began doing the same

socialism became a Jewish issue and it became a way to empower Jews over everyone else. So it doesn't matter whether it's private or state run. You're in the same position. We talked about the Lena Goldworks, gold mines the last time. And the people who ran that, it was a completely Jewish mine. I think I mentioned that. They all received excellent positions in the new communist government.

they were, you know, Jewish capitalists were well taken care of. They were either kept in charge of the mind or given some other position or allowed to enjoy their wealth. It was a Jewish movement. It really didn't matter to them. I mean, you know, capitalist dream of being able to control currency from one central spot. No wonder so many of them loved Leninism. Because they were doing the same thing. That's the thing you dream of very.

every banker. And so many of us grew up with this idea of left and right that there was, you know, capitalism versus communism or Leninism. And that created, it took a long time for me to put all that together in my head. No, they're, they're very, they're very similar. And you have actual proof where you have, you know, powerful Jewish capitalists that once the revolution took over in the same thing for the sugar industry, and once the Soviet, Union was created, they did very well.

So many of the early Bolsheviks were financed by, we already talked about their class status, the financed by people like Sava Marozov, the industrialists, these guys who took out huge life insurance policy, the beneficiary being

the Bolshevik party, then went and killed themselves. There's a few of those. I've talked about that in my book, the Soviet experiment. We're at an era here where that line doesn't exist anymore. In one way or another, they're going to rule the economy. And one of the first things the Leninists did, I think everyone knows, was say that any

anti-Jewish talk, no matter how well-intentioned is met with the firing squad. And that was done throughout Soviet, you know, right through Stalin and beyond. That was always a part of the Soviet mind because everyone knew, especially in the 20s, everyone knew who was running Bolshevism. I mean, even Churchill knew that. So getting people to stop talking about it was essential for the Soviets. And how they defined, you know, bourgeoisie and proletarian, well, it had an ethnic tinge to it too. How could they possibly, if they're truly socialist, reward all of these wealthy Jewish capitalists?

well, maybe you just don't understand what socialism really is. There's a reason I don't teach in academia anymore, you know, because I wasn't preaching this stuff, but I was asking questions, which is my job. And you still have academics everywhere to just have this very simple-minded. The U.S. was anti-communist throughout the 20th century, and having no conception about any of this stuff. And today, because of censorship, they have no way to access any of this information anymore.

These attacks on Jews, both abroad and in Russia, stirred Vladimir Soloviev, and in 1884, he vigorously criticized them. The Judeans have always behaved to us in the manner of the Judeans, and we Christians have not yet learned to behave with Judaism in a Christian way. With regard to Judaism, the Christian world in its mass has so far shown only an irrational jealousy or a feeble indifference. No, it is not Christian Europe that is tolerant of Jews. It is the Europe of unbelievers. The growing importance of the Jewish question for Russia, Russian society understood it only half a century behind its government. It was only after the Crimean War that the emerging Russian public opinion began to conceive the existence of a Jewish problem in Russia.

But there needed to elapse a few more decades before it understood the primacy of this question. Providence has brought the greatest part of the Jewish people to our country, and the strongest, wrote Vladimir Soloviev in 1891. The year before, with the support of some sympathizers, Sloviev wrote a protest in which it was said that the sole cause of the so-called Jewish question was the abandonment of all righteousness and humanity, a senseless craze for blind national egoism.

To stir up racial and religious hatred, which is so contrary to the spirit of Christianity, deeply perverts society and can lead to a return to barbarism. We must strongly denounce the anti-Semitic movement, even if only through the instinct of national survival. This is the Vladimir Slovia. Many people know who I'm talking about.

There's a lot of famous Vladimir Slovians in Russian history. but this is the famed philosopher. And I, who had allegedly converted to Union Catholicism, I'm not 100% sure that there's some question about that. He was a first class, you know, kind of Neo-Higalian philosopher, but he was an internationalist. I spent a lot of time on him.

The end of grad school, maybe the first five years thereafter. And sometimes he could be very vague about this kind of thing. But he was an internationalist, and he had a realistic understanding of the Jews. But the ideology that he was promoting wouldn't let him really come to the proper conclusions. Again, I don't want to simplify it. But a lot of people who, you know, a lot of, especially Catholics, who love this guy, kind of forget so many. He was a Gnostic of a type.

I denied that for a long time. he was a tiny minority in Russian Christianity but undoubtedly a brilliant man but this was the kind of ideology that was eventually going to take over he was an ecumenist

in the worst possible way but of course I could say the same thing about the you know the triple alliance of Alexander I the First the holy sorry, the Holy Lions, I should say.

But, you know, we talked about that at some length here, too. Slovia just became very famous. This is some of the reason why he still, probably the most famous Russian philosopher amongst American specialists today. According to the account given to him by M. Dubnov, Sloviev collected more than 100 signatures, including those of Tolstoy and Coralenko. But the editors of all the newspapers had been ordered not to publish this project. protest. Zolov wrote a scalding letter to Tsar Alexander III, but was told if he persisted

he would be punished with an administrative measure. He gave up. Just as in Europe, the multifaceted thrust of Jewish ambitions could not fail to arouse anxiety among the actors of Russian public life here, a fierce opposition there, and there again, on the contrary, sympathy. And in some, a political calculation, like the will of the people in 1881 who understood the prophet to be drawn from the Jewish question at the time it was in the direction of persecution, the radical and liberal circles of the time, namely the left wing of society, conceived and made theirs for a long time still the idea that the Jewish question could be used as a political map of the struggle against the autocracy. It was necessary to repeat over and over that the only way to obtain

equality and rights for the Jews was a definitive overthrow of the power of the Tsars. From the Liberals to the Bolsheviks, from the liberals to the Bolsheviks. Passing by the SR, all have never ceased to involve the Jews, some with real sympathy, to use them as a convenient asset in the anti-monarchical combat. This asset, the revolutionaries, never let it go. They exploited it without the least scruple until, however, these great various tendencies and debates in the newspapers did not affect the attitudes of the people toward the Jews. Jews in greater Russia. Many testimonies confirm this. With both Alexander III, especially Alexander the Third, and Nicholas II, they were more than aware of the Jewish issue. And this is a key paragraph because at the time, or really even today, you can't be a monarchist. I'm a monarchist, I've been a monarchist my whole life, especially in the Russian case, and not be a harsh critic of the Jews.

this was the the apogee of Rome for them. This was the center of, of, with a reactionary Christianity at the time, and far stronger than anybody else. That's why it was a, I wrote the book on the 100th anniversary of the murder, that this was a ritual killing.

They had Duma, not that long ago, they had Duma hearings on the Jewish ritual nature of the killing of Zarnikolas. You know, Can you imagine having that anywhere else? That was just a few years ago.

Because this was a Jewish ritualistic murder because they couldn't dominate, they couldn't take over if the Tsar didn't control the currency. It wasn't able to, and he was always very popular. So they had to invent stories. They used the made-up stories about Rasputin, which were disgusting. Rasputin, not a bad man at any level whatsoever.

It was a very good man. They made up story after story after story. It was very hard for them to attack Nicholas personally. So they figured, well, let's talk about people near him. And they did that too. The royal family was kind of off limits, but that's where all of this came from. He had to go. He was the restrainer that kept the spirit of Antichrist from dominating the world.

And ever since his murder, well, we know what happened. Thus, J. Tidal, a man who lived for a long time in deep Russia and frequented common people, affirms that any racial or national hostility is foreign to the common people. Or in memories left by the Vizemsky princes, this episode, thus there was Korobovka Hospital, a district of Umansky, a somewhat inconsiderate Russian physician, Dr. Smirnoff, the peasants did not like him, and his successor, the devoted doctor, Dr. Zafron immediately benefited from the affection and gratitude of all the peasants in the

neighborhood. Another confirmation inspired by the experience of the prisoners of the years 1880 to 1890, P.F. Jakobovic, Melcine, writes, it would be an ungrateful task to seek, even in the scum of our people, the least trace of anti-Semitism. And it was indeed because they sensed this that the Jews of a small town in Belarus addressed a telegram at the beginning of the 20th century to Madam F. Morozova, the wife of a wealthy merchant who was in charge of charity, give us this much. The synagogue burned down. You know we have the same God, and she sent the sum requested.

Okay. Of course, we don't have the same God whatsoever. I don't care how you slice it. But this paragraph, just before we came on the air, we were talking about, um, the difference between individuals and racial groups and their impact. Of course, and they're deliberately, I think the civil rights movement was based on this lie, that if you're critical, let's say, of black criminality, their hatred of whites or whatever, that means you hate the black guy up the street.

They, you know, it's like I'm talking to children. they don't know the difference between an individual in a group they used to laugh at that joke to my best friends are black well that actually works we're not talking about this isn't personal the black guy I'm talking to right here might be the nicest guy in the universe

that has nothing to do with the criminality and the fact that violent crime is overwhelmingly non-white in America one has absolutely nothing to do with the other and so they're they're using equivocation here anti-semanism is isn't that you hate Jews. You see a Jew coming down the street, you want to punch them. That's what the regime would like you to believe.

Most of us, you know, I grew up with many Jews. I'm from New Jersey. This is, this was day to day. But that has nothing to do with their collective, their aggregate effect on society. Those are two completely different things. And that's really what he's referring to here. Yeah, it's not a personal matter.

and I think the entire left, when it comes to race, which is really their whole thing, the left is based around this manipulation, this equivocation, that hatred for individuals must be the result of you criticizing their collective racial effect on society. You know, it's an infantile way to think, but that's exactly how they think. Deep down, neither the Russian liberal press nor the Jewish press had ever accused the Russian people of any land-based anti-Semitism. What both of them repeated relentlessly was that anti-Semitism in the popular mass had been completely fabricated and fueled by the government. The very formula, autocracy, orthodoxy, nationality was felt in Jewish circles as a formula

directed against the Jews. In the middle of the 20th century, we can read from a Jewish writer, quote, in Zaris Russia, anti-Semitism had no deep roots among the people. In the broad masses of the people, there was practically no anti-Semitism. Moreover, the very question of relations with Judaism did not arise. It was only in certain parts of what was called the palest settlement, and mainly in Ukraine, since the time of Polish domination, that, due to certain circumstances on which there is no need to dwell here, a certain tendency towards anti-Semitism manifested itself in the peasantry. That is perfectly true.

And one could add, Bessabaria. one can judge on the antiquity of these feelings and circumstances by reading Karimson. The Cossacks who surrounded the false Dmitri of the Cossacks of the Don, obviously, treated the Russians of Jews, which means that in the western provinces, the word was an insult. I think maybe we could bring it to an end here. We could talk about folklore tomorrow, but this was just another expression of what I've been talking about. you know they when they use the word

anti-Semitism which is a misnomer to begin with are they talking about like a principal criticism of their action as a group like we do or is that this irrational hatred for the guy

my dentist who may be may be Jewish those are two completely different situations you know and this is just another another version

of this. Now, the other thing he says here is that they have victims. So, in the pale of settlement, peasants around them have been victimized by them. So there, maybe it might be personal. I can't say I was ever harmed by a black man or a Jew

ever in my life. I tended to get along with them better than white people. That has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. Now, if I was mugged, maybe that would be a different story. But that would be also irrational. We're talking about their collective impact on the society,

not the guy walking across the street from me. Two completely different realities that these guys deliberately confuse so as to make us seem irrational, the whole hate concept. They're trying to make it seem individual. Oh, how can you watch this show? There are Jews in it. Well, what Jews can't be funny?

What are you talking about? about it. And it's only in that area. The thinking is so muddled, they can't tell the difference between a collective entity and an individual. That's how bad it is. All right. So we'll pick up the next part tomorrow. I'll play a little catch up here with the things that you've suffered at the hands of, who knows? It just sounds really, really odd way you were describing it. And I want to remind everybody to go and check the show notes and especially the videos on YouTube and Rumble and Odyssey, where I have hot links to where you can donate to Dr. Johnson to keep him unemployed and keep him educating us. So yeah, do that. All right, Dr. Johnson.

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Thank you. All right. Thank you, my friend. I want to welcome everyone back to part 33, no Masonic inferences there, of our. reading of Alexander Solzhenyson's 200 years together.

How are you doing, Dr. Johnson? Yeah, my wife is working out in the yard. You have a beautiful yard now. And that means that she is in an extraordinarily good mood despite her pain, arthritis. And so that means I'm in a good mood. So let's, you know, this is going to be something different. If there's anything different about me, that's probably why.

Awesome. Awesome. Yeah, we're just waiting to, we're waiting for the action in the backyard. The yard is all set. Everything's planted. Everything's watered. Everything's strawed. Ready to go.

Just waiting. It's a good thing. Yeah. All right. Picking up where we left off last time. And what about Russian folklore? The Dahl Dictionary encompasses Great Russia and the Western provinces. and Ukraine.

Editions before the revolution contained a large number of words and expressions formed on the root of Judeo. Significant detail in the Soviet edition of 1955, the entire topography of the page containing these words was revised, and the whole lexical niche between Jidki and Jigolo

has been entirely, had been entirely suppressed. I'm shocked. However, cut. So why would they do that? Why don't you tell everybody since they're wondering? Well, I'm just, I'm just spitball in here. But it might be, it might be, because of the utter domination of the Jewish element

in the revolution at all points, at least up to the 1970s, and the fact that any kind of anti-Semitism was punishable by at least a stretch of time in the camps. They didn't want to give anyone any ideas. That's probably why. But I'm just spitball in here. I've got to ask you a question about that. Maybe we'll see if we have some time at the end.

All right. Continuing. However, amongst these expressions quoted by Dal, there are some which are inherited from the Slavonic Church where the word jid was by no means pejorative. It was the name of a people. There are also some that come from Polish and post-Polish practice within the pale of settlement. Still, others were introduced into the language at the time of the troubles in the 17th century

at a time when in Greater Russia there was almost no contact with the Jews. These inheritances are also reflected in the dicta that Dal mentions in their Russian form, but we can guess under the latter the southern form. and what is certain is that they did not leave the bowels of the ministry of the interior. And then, let us not compare these sayings with others. Oh, how the people created malicious adages against the Orthodox clergy. Not one almost is favorable to it. A witness of Maripal, and he is not the only one, it is a well-known fact,

tells us that among them, before the revolution, there was a clear distinction between the two words, Ivri and Yid, and Yid. The Evri was a law-abiding citizen whose morals, conduct, and behavior towards others did not differ in any way from the surrounding environment, while the Jid was the Jidover, the swindler. And it was not uncommon to hear, I'm not a jid, I'm an honest, Ivory, I do not intend to dupe you.

Such words put into the mouths of Jews, we find them in literature, and we have also read them in the pamphlets of the populists. Yeah, you know, Chris Rock has a very similar stand-up routine where he makes the same distinction among black people. I think most people have heard it by now. Chris Rock is definitely someone that base people can listen to and laugh. Of course, these aren't ethnically. The Hebrew section isn't an actual reality, but Yiddish. The semantic differentiation we must never lose sight of when interpreting sayings.

All this is the trace of an old national quarrel on the territory of the West and Southwest. For neither in Central Russia nor in the North and East, not even during the general shock of October 1905, there weren't any anti-Jewish pogroms. If there was indignation, it was against the revolutionary intellectuals in general, against their jubilation and ridicule the manifesto of October 17th. But this does not prevent, in the eyes of the whole world, the pre-revolutionary Russia, not the empire, but Russia, to bear forever the seal of infamy, that of the pogroms and the black hundreds. And it is indelible, encrusted in minds for yet many centuries to come.

Question. The anti-Jewish pogroms have always and exclusively broken out in southwestern Russia, as it was the case in 1881, and the Kishinaf program in 1903 was of the same nature. Yeah, this is the most famous or infamous of all of the programs. This comes up even like your ordinary Jew in the street is going to know about this. 1905, 1906 was the first, well, I shouldn't even say that, probably the second attempt at a Russian Revolution. of course it didn't overthrow the monarchy but it did force Zar Nicholas to lay out

well turned out to be a disastrous policy an elected legislature well of course you know the monarchy still had tremendous power the Duma which also comes from the Russian word for thought for thinking turned out to just be at least in the beginning turned out to be a seat of constant descent it's often the case that in these elections there were four of them,

four specific Duma elections up until the end. The left, as they always do, lied about their point of view. They would never go to the common population and say, we hate, Nicholas, we hate, you know, we're going to collectivize agriculture there. We're going to impose a Masonic dictatorship. you know, they count their language in very different, in very flowery verbia, depending on what their audience was. The peasants didn't want to hear any of this.

But, of course, the Jewish influence in the Duma was tremendous. It was a mistake, but it's hard to blame Nicholas for this. We didn't know how it was going to work out. But the one thing about the Duma to remember is that it just shows that the monarchist, and the real Russian nationalist didn't were still struggling to organize they never grafts the concept of propaganda of laying out a program

this is why you should defend the crown the crown itself was usually above that kind of thing which is true that didn't mean his supporters couldn't do it this is also the era of the rise of the black hundreds

which was a self-defense organization founded mostly in Ukraine And most of this stuff occurred in today's Ukraine, in and around the Odessa area on the Black Sea, where Jews were concentrated, probably the most concentrated part of the entire empire in the Odessa region, that, you know, eastern and central Ukraine. This is mostly where they occurred. But the violence, the terrorism of some of these Jewish groups is one of the reasons that this broke out. And there were plenty of monarchists who didn't like the idea of doing. it was a mistake, but the only thing it really did was it gave the left an outlet.

And yet, at the same time, the right really struggled to put a program together. It's very depressing. Let us not forget that at the time the population of Bessarabia was largely illiterate. That in Kishaniv, there were 50,000 Jews, 50,000 Moldovans, 8,000 Russians, in fact, mainly Ukrainians, but the difference was not noted. and a few thousand others. What were the main forces responsible for the pogroms? The delinquents of the pogroms were mainly Moldovans.

The Kishinaev pogrom began on April 6th, the last day of the Jewish Passover, and the first day of the Orthodox Passover. This is not the first time we have observed this tragic link between the anti-Jewish pogroms and the Passover of Christians. In 1881, 1882, and 1889 in Nikolaev, and it fills us with extreme pain and anxiety. Let us use the one document that is based on a rigorous investigation carried out right after the events. This is the indictment issued by the local court prosecutor V.N. Gorimicene, who did not call a single Jew

as an accused for which he was harshly vilified by the reactionary press. As we shall see, the court first sat in closed session to not exacerbate the passions, and the indictment was originally published abroad in the emigrated press organ of the Stuttgart release. The document begins with an account of the usual clashes between Jews and Christians has happened in recent years at Easter and the animosity of the local population toward the Jews. It says that two weeks before the Passover, rumor circulated in the city, announcing that there would be, during future holidays, aggressions against the Jews.

A newspaper, the Bessarabits, the Bessar Arabian, had played a role of blaster in publishing day after day throughout the last few weeks, incendiary articles strongly anti-Jewish, which did not go and noticed among small clerks, pencil pushers, the entire little people of Bessarabia. Among the last provocative articles in the newspaper was the one about the murder of a Christian child in the village of Dubassery, allegedly carried out by Jews for ritual purposes. And another rumor ran that a Jew had murdered his Christian servant when she had actually committed suicide. And the police of Kishchev, what did it do? Did not give any particular consideration to the rumors. And despite the fact that in recent years, there has been regular infighting between Jews and Christians,

the Kishina of police did not take any serious preventative measures. It only reinforced the patrols for the holidays in the places where the crowd was going to be the densest by adding men recruited from the local garrison. The chief of police gave no clear instructions to his officers. In the Barnes Review, I published a lengthy paper on the pogroms. I had it probably floating around the web in various places. You could post it. I could send it to you, too. I have it.

Oh, good. These rumors often were promoted by the Jews themselves. They, unlike many of the Russian nationals, were excellent at psychological warfare and propaganda. This area was the densest in terms of the population of Jews. They at this point had angered pretty much everybody. We'll get here in a minute why he picks out the Moldovins as at least the initiators here. but rumors were started by the Jews I uncovered and I think

Shult and Eastern will talk about this too all of these pamphlets that Jews were sending around to each other once they were translated it's about attacking Easter processions you know this was their territory this is I mean it was I think they're in the land of the old Khazar Empire how relevant that is I'm not sure

they are very close to the Black Sea anyway the Jews had huge numbers. They were very militant. They were well armed, as I've said many times before, and not really until the black hundreds were formed or the Union of the Russian people, which still exists, one of my favorite websites in Russian out there. Tremendous scholarly work, Mikhail Mazadav, one of my favorite authors, is ahead of it now, at least intellectually, operates in Russia with no problem. But this is the reason that it was a Ukrainian movement, Russo-Ukrainian movement

but prior to the founding of the Union of the Russian people there really was nothing and of course it's going to be noticed by the Jews by the leftists but for so many years this program was lied about

they invented story after story and every generation it just got worse and worse and worse how many people were killed for no reason babies raped all that you know boilerplate atrocity porn kind of stuff that they're a very very

good at. But as years have gone on, and Solzhen Easton, this book was my inspiration to look into these things more deeply. The press at the time, including all backgrounds, had a very different story as to what happened. And these parts of the Russian Empire were Jews, were there in large numbers near the Black Sea. They usually were the aggressors.

for any number of reasons. Zionism was not large enough of a movement. Although I think the Black Hundreds were the first group to really say they need to get out of here. And I don't care where they go. We'll force them into Palestine if we need to. But

and then the police, you know, remember, we talked about the police in these cities. It was never a regular thing. It's not like the police we have today. There still really wasn't much of a prison system, this kind of thing, this sort of violence is what forced the government to create one. We're probably in the midst of it here, but nothing like you had in the West at the time or definitely in the West today.

So the Empire or any normal healthy society wasn't prepared for this kind of activity. You know, the terrorism, that rumors can be very dangerous. You know, things got around even before social media. Things got around very quickly, although I have the tendency to think, again, it wasn't that the rumors came from the Jews themselves. They were by far the most cohesive group, and they certainly were armed and motivated. This is clearly the most unpardonable. Repeated brawls every year for the Passover, rumors of such a content, and the police fold their arms. One more sign of the state of decline of the governmental machinery.

For there are two things. One, either we let go of the empire, how many wars, how many efforts have been made to unite for obscure reasons, Maldavia with Russia, or we safeguard the good order which must reign over its entire territory. On the afternoon of April 6th, the streets of the city is invaded by people in celebration with many teenagers wandering among the crowd, as well as angry people. The boys start throwing stones at nearby Jewish houses, throwing harder and harder, and when the commissioner and inspectors try to arrest one of them. they get stones in their turn. Adults then get involved. The police took no firm measures to stop the disorders, and these led to the sacking of two Jewish shops and a few sheds.

In the evening, the disorders subsided. No assault had been perpetrated against the Jews that day. The police had arrested 60 people during the day. However, on the early morning of April 7th, the very agitated Christian population began to assemble in various parts of the city and in the suburbs, in small groups which provoke Jews to clashes of increasing violence. In the same way, from the first hour on the new market, more than 100 Jews had gathered, armed with stakes and pickets, rifles even here and there, who fired a few shots.

The Christians had no firearms. The Jews said, yesterday you did not scatter the Russians. Today we will defend ourselves. And some held bottles of vitriol in their hands, which they threw at the Christians they met. pharmacies were traditionally held by Jews. Rumors spread throughout the city, reporting that the Christians were being assaulted by the Jews. They swell from mouth to mouth and exasperate the Christian population.

One transforms were beaten into were slaughtered. One carries that the Jews have sacked the cathedral and murdered the priest. And now, in various parts of the town, small groups of 15 to 20 persons, each chiefly workmen, with teenagers in their lead, who throw stones into the window panes, begin to plunder the shops, the premises, the dwellings of the Jews, smashing everything inside. These groups are gradually enlarged by the passers-by.

Towards 2, 3 o'clock in the morning, disturbances spread into more and more extended radius. The houses where icons or crosses have been exposed in windows are not affected. In the sacked premises, everything was totally destroyed. The goods ejected from the shops to be trampled, or stolen by individuals who escorted the attackers. They went so far as to sack the houses of prayer of the Jews and throw down the sacred scrolls in the street.

Drinking places, of course, were sacked. The wine was poured into the street or drunk on the spot by the bandits. Well, that last sentence should tell you a lot. Despite the fact that the state had a monopoly over vodka, or really any alcohol distilling, anything that was strong, Qaas wasn't strong enough to be considered alcoholic, but the Jews still maintained

a strong underground, like prohibition style control over that, especially in Ukraine. This didn't come from out of nowhere. This came entirely from Jewish behavior. Jews were extremely aggressive in this regard. You know, you can't start the story

like mid-sentence. Rumors rumors can change just like anything else. Talking about media manipulation on either side, the very fact that there was media there that were defending the Christians, that's for us, that's, you know, when does that ever happen? But these are, and we all know how the Israelis respond to people throwing rocks. Apparently, it's some sort of a, they shoot them.

So rocks for some reason in the Jewish minds is the worst possible thing. the Gaza Strip or the or the West Bank. He also notes that the Christians didn't have weapons and there were no gun laws in Russian Empire. I think maybe certain cities may have had them

but in the countryside it was you know, it didn't exist but Jews were armed and as time goes on now of course that the Jewish encyclopedia is going to tell you that this was all just you know we had to defend ourselves that just wasn't the case.

We've already been through And this is what happens when you have an empire who has now for over 100 years tried to deal with the Jewish problem and have failed, spent a fortune, seeing this Jewish group getting more and more powerful for doing nothing, a criminal enterprise within the empire. And the empire, because of the money, because of the need for stability in these parts of the world, not to mention foreign pressure,

yeah, there's restrictions on them, thanks to Alexander III. But again, you know, they function like a mafia. These restrictions didn't necessarily have teeth in certain place, especially down the southern cities like Odessia and even in Belarus for that matter. So because of the absolute failure of dealing with it, having one commission after another, all this money being treated extremely well only to become the heart of the revolution, the endless terrorism that Jewish-dominated groups perpetrated,

this is what happens. This is what happens. And what do they do? They throw rocks. And just like, you know, Solzhenitsyn is talking about in the Gentile press, in the Jewish press, which was the one that was believed in the Western world,

for no reason. the government or some organized body started shooting up Jewish synagogues for, you know, for fun or because they were jealous or something like that. That was the story that became the official one in the French and the British and certainly the American press.

You know, I have so many writings on the absurd statements by Western politicians. You had William Randolph Hurry. was talking about slaughtering Russians because of the Belize case, because of the so-called pogroms. In fact, I have it in my paper. Politicians who get these ridiculous stories that they're just being slaughtered for no reason. Talk about invading the Russian Empire. The deep hatred for Russia and Russians started during the Crimean War and reached a crescendo at the end of the empire.

The only time there wasn't hatred was during the Soviet era. and now you have it again from 2001 with the Putin administration in 2000 with the Putin administration. Now that Crimean war hatred of Russia has returned, I have way too many papers arguing that the anti-communism, which did not exist, was anti-Russian. This was the key element of the neocon movement since they were Jews from,

descended from those coming from the Russian Empire, supporting Trotky to the point where they didn't care, you know, who they had to support. They were going to destroy the Soviets starting in the 70s. They only became prominent in the 1970s. It was a very Jewish movement. But that came from the mythic exaggerations and stories precisely from these kind of cases, which is why this is very important, even today. The inertia of the police, owing to the absence of a proper command,

caused these crimes to be penetrated with impunity, and this did not fail to encourage and excite the evildoers. The police forces left to their own devices, far from uniting their efforts, acted according to their instinct, and the subordinate policemen were mostly mute spectators of the program. However, a phone call was made to the local garrison to call for reinforcements, but whenever the soldiers went to a certain point, they could not find anybody there, and in the absence of new instructions, they remained inactive. They were scattered in the city and isolated groups with no clear objective and no coordination with each other. They only dispersed the excited crowds.

This garrison was not the most efficient, and moreover it was just after Passover many officers and soldiers were on leave. The inertia of the police engendered new rumors saying that the government would have allowed to attack the Jews since they are enemies of the country, and the pogrom, unleashed, inebriated, became envenomed. The Jews, fearing for their possessions and for their lives, lost all composure. Fear made them go mad. Several of them, armed with revolvers, proceeded to counterattack to defend themselves. Ambushed on street corners, behind fences, on balconies, they began to shoot looters, but awkwardly, without aiming at their targets so that it did nothing to help them and only aroused in the pogrom, troublemakers had terrible explosion of rage. The crowd of plunderers was seized with rage,

and where the shooting had resounded, it came at once to tear everything apart and be violent toward the Jews who were there. A shot was particularly fatal to the Jews. The man who snatched a young Russian boy, little Osteopov, from one, two o'clock in the afternoon, the blows of the Jews became more and more violent, and by five o'clock they were accompanied by a series of murders. At half-past three in the afternoon, Governor von Robin, completely overwhelmed, passed an order to the chief of garrison, General Beckman, authorized in the use of arms. Beckman immediately had the city canvas, and the troops who had ventured out walked in good order from that moment on. From that moment on, the troops were now able to carry out mass arrests,

and energetic measures were taken at nightfall, the program was under control. Now, be very careful here. I know what it sounds like he's endorsing the Jewish point of view. You'll see this in the next paragraph as well. He's not. He will explain what's behind these. This is the official description, which he's repeating here.

This is what most of us are taught. Whenever we take a Russian history course in college or something, this is what's in every history textbook. Well, actually, it's usually worse than this because, you know, the Jewish position tends to be that the government of Tsar Nicholas, you know, wanted this to happen and helped the violence long, and that somehow the Union of the Russian people were an official body and there were nothing of the kind. They were condemned by so many in the Russian government. but they were very popular. At their height, the Union of the Russian people, Black Hundreds had, at their height, just in Ukraine, had a half million members.

Think of all the liberal groups in Moscow and St. Petersburg, there were a tiny fraction of that. And it came from Jewish arrogance and Jewish violence. So what you're going to read here in a little bit, the next two paragraphs, this is just the official description. This is not Schulzen-Eason's point of view. The axe stipulates the death toll. There were 42 deaths, including 38 Jews. All the bodies bore traces of blows by blunt objects, clubs, shovel, stones, and some blows of axes. Almost all were wounded in the head, some in the chest also. They had no traces of bullets, no evidence of torture or rape either. This was confirmed by doctors' expert opinions and autopsies, as well as the report of the medical legal departures. of the Central Administration of Bessarabia.

There were 456 wounded, including 62 among the Christians. Eight were wounded by bullets. Of the 394 Jewish wounded, only five were seriously injured. No trace of abuse, except for a one-eyed man whose healthy eye had been ripped out. Three quarters of the men assaulted were adults. There were three complaints of rape, two of which were prosecuted. Seven soldiers were wounded, including a soldier who had his face burned with vitriol. Sixty-eight policemen received minor injuries. There were 1,350 homes ransacked,

almost a third of the houses in Kishniv, an enormous figure, the equivalent of a bombing. As for the arrest, there were 816 on the morning of April 9th, and in addition to the investigations into the murders, 664 persons appeared in court. In some authors, the figures of the victims among the Jews differ from the official statistics, but the gap is not very large. The Book of the Jews of Russia estimates that there were 45 Jews killed, 86 seriously wounded, 1,500 houses and shops looted and destroyed. Beekerman puts forward the figure of 53 dead, but maybe not all Jews. The recent Jewish Encyclopedia states 49 people were killed, 586 wounded,

more than 1,500 houses and shops looted. So that's the official point of view. that's actually a very moderate official point of view I have never prior to to becoming a scholar in this area I never heard anyone say that Russians were killed in the in the programs

I distinctly remember being taught very early in college that that this is one of the reasons that the czarist government had to go this was the reason the revolution happened they hated it killed for absolutely no reason. Now, that didn't make a lot of sense to me at the time. I didn't have the knowledge to respond. But now this is what, now, Socializ is going to give the details, and the devil, of course, is always in the details. This is the official description, but we sense what is

hiding behind it. We are told only one person, one Jew with one eye, has had the other ripped out. We learn a little more from Coralenko in his essay House Number 13. This poor man was called Mere Weissman. To my question, wrote Coralenko, did he know who did this? He answered with perfect serenity that he did not know, but that a kid, the son of his neighbors, had boasted that he had done it with a lead weight attached to a string. We see then that the perpetrators and victims knew each other rather well. Coralenko resumed, it is true that what I advance, I hold that the Jews

themselves, but there is no reason not to believe their sayings. Why would they have invented these details? And in fact, why would the family of Bensian Galanter mortally hit on the head invent that the murderers had placed nails all over his body? Was not the family of the necensin accountant sufficiently tried? Why would it add that he had been rinsed in a puddle before being massacred. These details are not fiction. Even today, even today, we, Americans don't know the difference between propaganda and actual fact.

They believe, you know, Pentagon press releases as if it's, you know, detailed scholarship. You know, you remember when ISIS, which is a complete creation of the U.S. and Israel came out. I remember, it's about 10, maybe more than 10 years ago, maybe 2011 and 12. The stories that were, the deeds that were ascribed to them were so absurd. You hear the same thing about stuff in North Korea. You know, baby raping, slave markets right out in the open. Just things that did make a whole lot of sense. You know, shopping women's hands off for the tiniest, tiniest little thing.

And I got immediately suspicious. This doesn't make sense. There have been Islamic groups of all different types in these areas. They've never done anything like this in recent memory. And why are they wearing black in the desert for Christ? What was always my favorite about, you know, it's completely, it's a Hollywood production. I know that now. But people still buy it.

People still buy this nonsense. They're crying as they're reading the newspaper. I don't think people back then were aware. I mean, propaganda was just, it's an infant industry. And one of its early manifestations in a mass press that eventually went to Britain and the U.S. was over this stuff. And people, you know, didn't understand what this stuff isn't true. But now it's gotten to the point where propaganda porn,

atrocity porn is so boilerplate. It's the exact same language. they just fill in the blanks for different countries. And there's always the enemies of the U.S. that are doing things like this. The minute you start hearing these extreme forms of torture and just the most heinous kind of behavior done like it's no big deal, you should get immediately suspicious. What would be the point of this?

We talked about the North Korean defectors making up the most ridiculous stories that would cost a fortune to torture someone in these ways but I don't think people were aware of this kind of psychological warfare at the time. But to those who were far from the events, so the agitators of public opinion, these horrors were not enough. What they remembered was not tragedy, misfortune the dead, but rather had to exploit them to strike the Tsarist power. And they resorted to terrifying exaggerations.

To overcome reactions of horror, to try to see clearly in the versions built up in the morgue, months and years following, would it not be minimizing the tragedy and to attract many insults? But to me, it clearly is a duty because we took advantage of the program of Kisheniv to blacken Russia and mark her forever of the seal of infamy. Today, all honest historical work on the subject demands a distinction between the horrible truth and the treacherous lies. The conclusion of the incident is the following.

The disorders have reached the magnitude described only because, because of the inertia of the police deprived of an adequate command. The preliminary investigation did not find any evidence that the disorders had been premeditated. And I said this before, but it's very important to reiterate, for all the nonsense that Zaris Empire was some sort of a tyranny. They didn't have regular law enforcement. They were not used to this kind of thing. They really didn't know what to do.

Today we have, you know, riot squads. They practice, you know, South Korea has an entire mobile combat unit that does nothing but quench riot. Back then, you know, this only comes with the, with the unnatural distortions of social life that the Jews bring. You know, there was always, you know, peasant unrest in various places and things like that. But this is of a different order. These huge urban riots, the police didn't react because they really didn't react because they really

at this point they didn't have the manpower they certainly didn't have the training and having to call in the army and they're not shooting Russians that's very it's a lot to ask especially of a conscript

they may defend themselves so they just simply weren't ready for this kind of thing the court system was so overwhelmed this was meant for a normal peaceful Russia but now all of a sudden that that system doesn't work

and it was a huge problem for the government who if anything was way too lenient to the left throughout all of this. Being sent to Siberia, as I said before, it's not a big deal. Some of these communists wrote their best books out there. There was no prison, and they easily found their way back over the border. It was a very porous kind of system. So that was really, if he wants to go that route as of right now, yeah, he's right. But, you know, this wasn't, you know, it was very different in London or Paris or Berlin. But in Russia, you know, tradition, family, the church, these private entities took care of a lot of that stuff.

You didn't need a formalized police force for it. is you still had the whole medieval idea that fines is, you know, usually fines or restitution is what, you know, outside of, you know, murder or something like that or the way to solve, to solve crimes. You didn't have it enough such where you had, you know, criminal law. You had it now, but it was only in its infancy. And I think that's what Solzhenitsyn is getting to here. These clues, no further investigation found them either. But so be it. The Office for the Defense of the Jews, which we have already meant,

mention was attended by such eminent Jews. There's a list of them here, Stliosburg and Posner, probably the most commonly known. As soon as the news of the pogrom of Kishnev reached it, it excluded from the outset all possible causes apart from that of a conspiracy fomented from above. Who gave the order of organizing the pogrom? Who took the direction of the dark forces that perpetrated it? As soon as we learned of the climate in which the killings of Kishnav took place, we did not doubt that this diabolical undertaking had been concocted by the police

department and carried out at his command. Although, of course, the wretches kept their project secret, wrote Kroll in the 40s of the 20th century. But as convinced as we are that the killings of Kishnev were premeditated in high places with the tacit agreement and perhaps at the initiative of Plev, we can unmask these high-placed assassins and expose them to the light of the world only on one condition if we have the most indisputable proofs against them. That is why we decided to send the famous lawyer Zerudni to Kishiniv. He was the most suitable person for the mission we had entrusted to him. He undertook to reveal the hidden springs of the Kishiniv massacre, after which the police, to divert attention, arrested a few dozen thieves and looters. Recall that in the

aftermath of the program, 816 people were arrested. Zerudni gathered. information and brought back material of exceptional importance. That is to say that the chief person in charge, the organizer of the program, had been the head of the local security, K. Lewendal, a gendarme officer who had been appointed to Kishinau before the program. It was at his command that the police and the troops openly lent to hands of the assassins and looters. He would have totally paralyzed the action of the governor. It is known, however, that in Russia, neither the police nor the troops were under the orders of the Okrana. This stuff, these lies, it wasn't just, you know, they were defaming an entire people.

It had foreign policy implications for the West. Presidents and prime ministers would reference this when they're talking about various policies, including their support of the revolutionary movement. That's why these are extremely important. I'm the first one on our side to really start tearing these apart, in English anyway, as been done in Russian before, because they're extremely important. They're relatively ignored. So many of the, after Crimea, the Russophobic mentality came from this. So there was an immediate connection between, you know, British foreign policy, French foreign policy, and the Jews of the, you know, the late imperial.

late Imperial Russia Notice what they're doing here is they're building a conspiracy theory that you know if someone like me would do something like this you'd be attacked in public they're building this whole very complicated

structure there's this narrative with all these moving parts and of course the point of which is to say that nothing's their fault and the horrible royal government is just out to slaughter Jews for no good reason.

That said, exceptionally important material which denounced the guilty with absolute certainty was never published either at that time or later. Why? But because, if it had been so, how could Lewendahl and his accomplices escape punishment and dishonor? This material is known only by hearsay, a dealer named pronin, pronoun, and a notary named Pissar Yevsky, would have been found several times in a certain Cafe and on Lewendahl's instructions would have planned the program.

And it was after these meetings that all the police and the troops opted for the program. The prosecutor, Gorimkin, examined the charges against Lowndal and declared them unfounded. The journalist Crucivain, whose incendiary articles had really favored the program, was stabbed in Petersburg two months later by Pinnhaus Dachewski, who wanted to to kill him. The authorities during this time continued the investigation. The director of the police department, A.A. Lupaquin, with his liberal sympathies, he was unsuspected in the eyes of the public, was quickly dispatched to Kishchev. Governor von Rodin was dismissed, along with several other senior officials from Bessarabia. A new governor was appointed Prince S. Urosov,

soon to be a prominent K.D, and would sign the appeal to the rebellion called V-Av. Borg's appeal. A bulletin from the Minister of the Interior PLEV was published in the messenger of the government of April 29. In it, he stated that his indignation at the inaction of the authorities of Kishchev, he called on all provincial governors, city governors, and police chiefs to vigorously halt all violence by taking all possible measures. The phrase prominent KD, he's referring to a liberal party in the Duma. They were called cadets, in short. The Viborg appeal, the Viborg is in Finland.

It was when the monarchy had enough of the Duma, who went totally in on the pogrom thing. The monarchy had to go. So many of them went into exile, and that's where the Viborg appeal was written. But the fact is that once the zone, was overthrown. He did not abdicate. That's a whole separate story. He did not. That's a myth. It's a forgery. But once Zahar wasn't there anymore, the provisional government engaged in a huge investigation as to

Tsar's policy. I really only came across this when I was writing my first book. And you have a group of people now. These are the people who just overthrew the monarchy. They have every reason to find him to be an evil man. We were in the right. This doc, it's extraordinary. They were very honest men. They found nothing. Corruption almost non-existent.

This is, you know, this is, this is a provisional government here. Completely cleared Rasputin of any wrongdoing. This is not well known in the West, but, you know, monarchists know all about it. and it's substantial. So many of the, and the programs are mentioned,

that there was nothing, you know, there was nothing from the state that would encourage any of this, especially in a part of the world, in a part of the empire that was very wealthy. They could not afford, they needed this tax money,

they needed this income. You can't have constant unrest, which is very expensive in very wealthy areas. That's why the, state was put in this terrible position. They couldn't have it. Even if they may have sympathized,

not so much with the killing, but with any kind of uprising against the Jews, they needed this. Not to mention the very powerful international pressure, especially from Britain. I think Schultzni's going to mention this at some point, maybe in the future.

I don't remember if I got it from here or somewhere else, but the investigative committee completely exonerated. the royalist government of everything that these very same people were accusing them of just a few years earlier. It's very extraordinary. And no one knows about it because it would destroy

the entire liberal myth about it. The pogroms are just one thing. But everything that these very same liberals that created the, or the Masons, that created the Masonic Revitional government was accusing the monarchy of they then, when they look deeper,

realized that it wasn't true. They admitted that it wasn't true. So you, that, that means a lot. That means far more than if Monarchus was going to say that. It's a, it's a almost total exoneration. When I first came across, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I said, how, you know, these guys were really honest at least that, um, everything that they had accused wasn't true. And the programs were a part of it. They had nothing to do with, with any of that. That was never the case. Um, they didn't, they didn't talk like, you know, I'm talking about it, where the Jews were usually the aggressors, but that there was no policy that these Jews that created this whole conspiracy theory were promoting.

But that conspiracy theory eventually became official Western history in Britain and the U.S. And the fact that it's still being taught today is very depressing. And it's one of the reasons I got into this. I got so upset that this nonsense is being promoted either out of laziness, out of conformism, out of ignorance, or whatever, and that any attempt to write the wrong is met with derision. It's extremely irritating, but Solson-Eason's weight behind a lot of this helped quite a bit. I'm going to do one more paragraph and then the rest of it will say it will be able to finish the finish on the next episode, the story. chapter. All right. The Orthodox Church also expressed itself. The Holy Senate issued a bulletin inviting the clergy to take measures to extirpate feelings of hostility toward the Jews. Some of the

hierarchs, notably Father John of Cronsted, who were very much listened to and revered by the faithful, appealed to the Christian people, expressing their disapproval, their exhortations, their appeals for appeasement. They have substituted for the Christian holocaut. They have substituted for the Christian holiday a sanguinary and satanic orgy. And Bishop Anthony Kropovitsky declared, the punishment of God will befall the wretches who have spilled blood related to that of the God men, to his pure mother, the apostles, and the prophets, so that you know how much the divine spirit cherishes the Jewish people, still rejected today, and know that what is his wrath against those who would want to offend him. A text on the subject was distributed to the people. The long exhortations and

explanations of the church, however, were not unrelated to an archaic state of mind, frozen for centuries and to be surpassed by the formidable evolutions in progress. Let me clarify here. If there were two churchmen who knew the Jewish question inside and out, it would be at the time, St. John of Kromstatt and Metropolitan Anthony Krapavitsky. Kravivitsky actually led the largest exile group after the revolution, which we call the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia today, which eventually wound up in New York. He was the first metropolitan of that.

If anyone knew the Jewish question, it was those two. It wasn't so much that the Jews were innocent or the – it was that they spilled blood on Easter. They spilled blood on Holy Week. and after that they forced bloodletting of all periods of time

in the Easter and that it didn't seem to be it wasn't directed at anyone it wasn't like there was one person who caused trouble it was just random violence in their minds

now John of Cronsted is a first rate source for what the Orthodox Church's position was on the Jews and it was very much well it was identical to ours but the violence according to them, did absolutely nothing.

It just brought down the way to the state against them. John of Kronstadt was a member of the Union of the Russian people. He blessed their banners. They had meetings at his place. So don't think that this was in any philosemitic kind of way. Like you would hear that today. No, that was violence at the wrong time and bloodletting of Russians and Jews, many of whom were probably innocent, was outrageous, especially during the Easter season.

So that's what this is about here. All right. We will finish this chapter on the next episode. I want to, again, ask people to go to the show notes, and especially in the videos, which are on YouTube, Rumble, and Odyssey. and look in the show notes there, click on the links, and go support Dr. Johnson and the great work that he's doing. And thank you, Dr. Johnson, always. You're welcome, my friend.

I'll talk you next time. Yes, sir. I want to welcome everyone back to Part 34 of our reading of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's 200 years together. How are you doing today, Dr. Johnson? I came across something. I watched, I accidentally came across, and I watched an episode of 90-day fiancé.

And at a minimum, I guess I could say that I feel much better about my youthful mistakes in that department. You know, the terrible mistakes I made back then. It's almost unwatchable only for the secondhand embarrassment, cringe elements of it. You know, it is, it is, it's like, it's like, you know, eating a super hot pepper. I don't know why people just like to suffer, but we do. And I watch the whole thing, and I don't think I'm ever going to be the same again. The whole thing about like secondhand embarrassment and cringe is there's a show called, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

And there are parts of it that I can watch, but there's so much secondhand where you're just like you're embarrassed for these people to the point where it's like, I can't watch this. It's uncomfortable to watch this. I am very sensitive to cringe. I actually know how to use the word properly. I'm very sensitive to secondhand embarrassment in public or on screen. I can't take it sometimes. And this show will test your limits in that department.

Fans of the office know about Scott's Tots or Phyllis's Wedding. They know how Scott's Tots is almost totally unwatchable with Steve Karell in the office. Even when you know it's coming. But this, this has raised the bar or lowered it, as a case may be, to the point where it's like getting calluses on your hands, except I don't, it just cuts me to the bone. I feel much better about my youthful mistakes with women. All right.

Picking up where we left off. In the first days of May, a month after the events, an information campaign, but also one of intoxication about the pogrom broke out in the Russian press as well as in the European and American ones. In Petersburg, fanatical articles spoke of assassinations of mothers and infants, of rape, sometimes of underage girls, sometimes of women under the eyes of their husbands or their father and mother. There was talk of torn tongues, a man was ripped open, a woman's head was pierced with nails driven in by the nostrils. Less than a week had elapsed when these hearts, and terrifying details appeared in the papers of the West. Western public opinion gave it full credence.

The influential Jews in England relied on these fabrications and included them word for word in their public protest. Should we repeat, no evidence of abuse or rape was observed on the bodies. Due to a new wave of newspaper articles, forensic pathologists were asked to submit supplementary reports. The doctor of the city health service named Frankl, who had examined the bodies in the Jewish cemetery and another named Chorba, who had received the dead and wounded in the hospital in the Kishniv-Zemstva between 5 p.m. the second day after the Passover and noon the third day, and then at the Jewish hospital, and the Dr. Vasiliev, who had carried out an autopsy on 35 corpses, all attested the absence of torture, traces of torture or violence on the bodies described

in the newspapers. It was later learned at the trial that Dr. Doroshevsky, the one who it was thought had supplied these frightening reports, had seen nothing of these atrocities and declined any responsibility for the publication of the tabloids. As for the prosecutor of the Criminal Chamber of Odessa, he had, in reply to a question from La Pukin regarding the rapes, secretly conducted his own investigation. The accounts of the families of the victims themselves did not confirm any of rape, the concrete cases in the expertise are positively excluded. But who paid attention to the examinations and conclusions of the doctors? Who cares about the prosecutor's specific research?

All these documents may remain turning yellow in cabinet files. Remember what journalism is. Journalism has never really been an honorable profession. journalists have no obligation to tell anyone the truth. They have no obligation to educate anybody. Their job is to create a story, emphasis on the word create, to find an angle. They have to hook the reader and bring the reader in. Now, of course, these days, they have to do that and promote the leftist agenda, especially if they're coming out of the Columbia School of journalism.

Um, that's, that's their purpose. And conservatives are so naive. They'll read a terrible article, biased article. And I'll say, we need to, you need to be a journalist. You need to be objective. Like the guy who wrote it doesn't know that he's, he's not objective. Like he needs to be told by you that, um, that, they're well aware of, of what they're doing. That's what, that's what journalism is. It's not yellow journal. This is normal. Um, to this day. you have people who believe that the Tiananmen Square massacre occurred in 1989. It didn't. NBC had to finally admit it. The press reports were almost identical to this. The same kind of language and in fact, none of them were eyewitnesses.

The Chilean embassy, I think, and the Spanish embassy could see the square and said nothing like this happened. more Chinese soldiers were killed. They lost almost 100 armored vehicles somehow. But, but, you know, the average

they still hold to this. It's about creating a story. In this case, it's about creating a story and promoting the interests of the Jews because, like no other group, they can weaponize this kind of suffering. They knew that, you know, a normal man, Even a soldier in wartime doesn't just randomly rape people.

A normal guy doesn't just start shooting kids, I mean like little kids, unless there's drugs involved or something. It doesn't happen. So when you read about it, it's conceivable. You need a lot of evidence that something like this happened, even in wartime conditions. And if you're raping somebody, you don't do it in public. you know, in front of people. And that's what's being implied with all of this. And it's the same list of crimes for any number of lurid news stories coming out today.

It could be about Burma, could be about China, could be about the Taliban and Afghanistan. This is what journalism does. And that's why it was always very exciting for the Jews, because this is what this is a central part of their neurodemean. erotic essence of creating this kind of thing. Because not only does everyone want to read about these lurid things, but it promotes their interests. And, you know, but, and I've said the same thing a hundred times. This stuff, as it says right here in this paragraph,

was taken by the Western press, word for word, no question, no, you know, does this really happen? You know, all these biased sources, no one cares. and to this day it's in the history textbooks with the addition of that the government was behind it the monarchy was behind it and one of the reasons that it they say this is that it justifies in their minds

the Jewish takeover of the US creation of the USSR and killing Christians Gary Hamburg from Notre Dame is one of the worst just absolutely conformist he says

there were no Jews in the in the takeover of the USSR oh well there were but the only reason they killed Christians is because of official anti-Semitism this is a kind of mentality even if he read something like even if he read Souls of Needson's book he couldn't it's not going to change his mind

most of the time these guys younger guys don't have access to any of this it's all censored in their world and it's too expensive professionally to talk like this. He said that, you know, it's like his virtual signal or his, I used to call it membership card. See, I'm harmless. I'm with you. I'm going to say something like this in public so you all may, you know, leave me alone.

Being a white male, of course, he has no choice. But this is what journalism is at its core. There's always been good journalists out there. but that's despite what journalism actually is, not because of it. I can't remember who said it a few years ago when conservatives were touting this line that the media is biased. And someone said the media is not biased. They have an agenda. It's a big difference.

Yeah, like only if they hear, yeah, if I tell them to be more objective, they'll go, oh, my God, I didn't realize what I was doing. Yeah, they're well aware of this. and of course they're not allowed to talk about the Jews because they're conservatives. So they'll end up with this impotent rage. Sometimes they take it out on people like us. But, you know, I've been dealing with conservatives my whole life. I was a conservative my first couple years in college and then I wasn't anymore. But, yeah, these are the same people who say that, you know, Hitler was financed by big business in the West,

with all this nonsense. Somehow it justifies leftist policies. to them. All that the witnesses had not confirmed, all that Kuralenko had not related, the authorities did not have the presence of mind to refute it. And all these details spread throughout the world and took the form of a fact in public opinion, which they were to remain throughout the 20th century and which they will probably still be throughout the whole of the 21st century, cold, frozen, stowed forever in the name of Russia. However, Russia for many years now, but with increasing acuteness, knew a mad, deadly distortion between civil society and the government.

It was a struggle to the death. For the liberal and radical circles, and even more so for the revolutionaries, any incident true or false discrediting the government was a blessing. And for them, everything was permitted, any exaggeration, any distortion, any makeup of facts. The important thing was to humiliate power as severely as possible. For the Russian radicals, a pogrom of this gravity was. a chance in their fight. Now that's what journalism is. That's what their job is.

They want someone in power. And the minute these people, this has occurred all over the world, you have screaming and yelling about a lack of press freedoms or state media, then minute their friends take over, the first thing they do is clamp down on the press. Nowhere is that more evident than in today's Ukraine. essentially a one-party state. There's a few parties, but they all say the same thing. And it's a prison sentence, or worse, you get drafted

if you even slightly deviate from that line. It's totalitarian. But again, that's perfectly consistent with postmodern liberalism. And as far as the State Department is concerned, and almost every corporation and almost every professor at every university, that's also consistent with progress, democracy, liberal democracy, and the future. The government resolved to forbid all publication in the newspapers

concerning the pogrom, but it was a blunder. For the rumors were re-echoed with greater force by the European and American press. All the rantings escalated with even more impunity, exactly as if there had never been any police report. And here it was. The Great Offensive launched against the government of the Tsar. The Bureau for the Defense of the Jews sent telegrams to all the capitals, organized protest meetings everywhere. A member of the Bureau wrote, We have communicated the details of the atrocities in Germany, France, England, the United States.

The impression that our information caused was shattering. In Paris, Berlin, London, and New York, there were protest meetings in which speakers painted a frightening picture of the crimes committed by the Tsarist government. Here he is, they thought, the Russian bear as it has been since the dawn of time. These atrocities shocked the world, and now without any restraint the police and soldiers had by all means assisted the assassins and the plunderers in perpetrating these inhuman acts. The cursed autocracy has marked itself with an indelible stigma. In meetings, they stigmatized the new plan of czarism, premeditated by it. In the synagogues of London, they accused the Holy Synod of having committed this killing due to religious inspiration.

Some of the hierarchs of the Catholic Church also declared the disapproval. but it was by far the European and American press that showed themselves as being the most virulent, notably the press tycoon William Hurst. We accuse the Tsarist power of being responsible for the massacre of Kishiniv. We declare that his guilt in this Holocaust is total. It is before his door and in front of any other that the victims of this violence are exposed. May the God of Justice descend here below to finish with Russia as he has finished with Sodom and Gomorrah. and let him evacuate this pestilential focus from the face of the earth.

The killing of Kishinaw surpasses insolent cruelty all that has ever been recorded in every civilized nation, including one must believe the extermination of the Jews in medieval Europe. This is, you know, it's, I sound like a broken record sometimes with, with this. I'm pretty sure I mentioned William Randolph Hearst, the last show, as being, violently anti- anti-Russian, not Russian government or Russia as such.

And this is why the white armies never got a penny from the untampton, never got a bullet, never got a shell, never got anything

from them. The intervention, of course, was to try to reopen the front against the Germans. And when the war was over, to protect Western investments, especially in the southern part of the country where the French moved in.

They could have annihilated the Petersburg Soviet in 30 minutes, but they deliberately refused. And the reason is, and you could read Wilson and Woodrow Wilson and so many others at the time, that these monstrous anti-Semites are not civilized,

man, we cannot have any Russian nationalists in power whatsoever. This is why they supported the Reds. This or a big, you know, the non-economic reason why they didn't support the whites. This is why the money came in for the Reds. This is why the West was heavily invested in the Soviet Union, right, right, really up until the end, but definitely in the 20s and 30s, because the czar was gone. And the only time, Woodrow Wilson ever had a problem with the revolutionary movement was if they, in his words,

started acting like a czar. And people can't tell the difference between being anti-Russian and being anti-Soviet. Russia was a imprisoned and exploited as a nation within the much larger Soviet Union. But this kind of language is typical of people who are trying to get in good

with the Jews. and he was, you know, William Randolph Hearst was a very powerful man. And he had tremendous influence with his, you know, many papers that he controlled. That means that this kind of language had actual foreign policy implications. This kind of garbage that was spewing out from London and every city in America in newspapers. is one of the main reasons, one of many, but one of the main reasons

why the West rejoiced at the Volga monarchy and the installation of the Bolshevik government. The white government or the Kerenzki government was too weak for them, but the Reds were, you know, the perfect, they're strong, but they're anti-Russian.

you know, the treaty, of course, of breast was absolute evidence of that. This is why they backed the Bolsheviks. I really doubt that in, I'm almost positive, that at the time there was almost nobody in the Western world who knew what Leninism was, who could tell you what Bolshevism was, you know, I guess at the time of the revolution, in, from 17 to say, London's death in 1925 really understood it they knew that Russians are barbaric anti-Semites and therefore anything that hurt to them is good for us

and that really began with the Crimean War the Jews of course floored it I mean just redlined it and the Russophobic stuff went away during the Soviet era I mean conservatives you know the

neocons had their own problems with it, turned out to be anti, but it was anti-Russian, not anti, not anti-Sovian. The only time all of a sudden there's sanctions and war and threats was when Putin rebuilt the country on a very different basis from the Soviet Union. So much of my career has been based on getting that out to the world, but I don't know if even intellectuals have the conceptual apparatus to process it. you know, once a fact, and Solzhenitsyn kind of says it, he implies it, that once a fact is accepted, like he said, frozen, just becomes, you know, undoubted, and then is used to build other arguments, other theories. That is, that's going to be etched in people's minds forever.

you know the Tiananmen Square is one very nasty example something that simply didn't happen and of course back then we didn't have the internet that was about a year

that was around the time I decided I was going to do this for a living roughly it was Chalchescu's murder that got me that made my mind up this was just before that and you know how many years it took me to realize, wait a minute, there's no actual eyewitnesses say it didn't happen.

They were inventing these things for a whole bunch of reasons. But with the language of William Hart, you hear that same crap now, especially from Protestants, the evangelical types, the neocon types, and probably for the same reason. But of course, everything that your typical normie American believes about the world is a lie. everything they believe about, especially in the political world, is a story. It's a narrative someone has told them. I can't imagine living that way. I think that group is getting smaller.

I think Trump has had some effect on that. That group is getting smaller. But being a normie is to, as I've said before, the U.S. has been in a sustained depression since 2008. militarily it is collapsing. I've written so much on that. You could have the end of an empire, the collapse of an empire, the American empire,

and Americans will have no idea that it's going on. That's how bad off they are intellectually. And this is the crap that showed you what this kind of journalism really is. Alas, Jews more or less circumspect, more or less stunned, joined in the same assessment of the events. And not less than 30 years after the event, the respectable jurist G. Sliusberg retains the same details and publications of emigration,

even though he himself never went to Kishenov then or later. The nails planted in the head of the victim. He goes so far as attributing this information to the account of Korylenko and the rapes and the presence of several thousand soldiers, the modest garrison of Kishenov has never seen as many, who seemed to be there to protect the perpetrators of the pogrom. But Russia in the field of communication was inexperienced, unable to justify itself coherently,

seeing it was still unaware of the methods used for this. Meanwhile, the so-called cold premeditation of the pogrom was not supported by any solid proof, none that was commensurate with the raging campaign, and although lawyers Arrudney had already closed his investigation and firmly established that the chief organizer and the sponsor of the program was none other than the chief of the local Okrana, Baron Lewandahl. Even in this variant, the character of Lewandall did not reach the government sufficiently,

and it was necessary to draw a little more to reach the central power. The policy, you know, I said this before, but the monarchy at the time, almost given its nature, didn't understand the power of propaganda. They didn't understand what they were up against. you know, Alexander the 3rd, Nicholas the 2nd, they knew the Jewish question very well, but they didn't know necessarily how it manifested. So for them to ban in papers that they had any influence over, censorship was pretty much non-existent, no matter what the regime says, you had communist papers being published, things like that,

to the extent they could banning any mention of that program was the worst possible thing, as Solzhen Easton. Easton says it was the dumbest thing. Instead of saying, instead of putting out their position, this is what happened. We have no interest in massive, almost civil war conditions, according to them, in places that bring us a lot of money. They can't afford to have this unstable. These were wealthy areas of the empire. These were the trading centers of the empire. We can't have that disrupted this way. They had no interest in it. They never came up with any. any evidence. It's just taken for granted. And you're an anti-Semind if you say otherwise. So for the state to say, I don't know if it was czar personally or someone else, banning any mention of this was probably the worst possible decision anyone could make because the supporters of the monarchy now didn't want to go against them.

And so they kept their mouth shut, which was incredibly stupid. But here we are. six weeks after the program, in order to further stir up general indignation and to dishonor the key figure of power, one discovered, no one knows by whom, but very appropriately, an ultra-secret letter from the Minister of Interior Plythe to the Governor of Kishchev, von Robben, not a bulletin addressed to all the governors of the Pala settlement, no, but a letter addressed to him alone 10 days before the program, in which the minister, in rather evasive terms, gave advice. If serious as if serious, if disturbances occur in the province of Bessarabia, not to repress them by arms, but to use only persuasion. And now an individual, very timely there too, transmitted the text of this letter to an English correspondent in St. Petersburg, D.D. Brum, and the latter hastened to publish it in London in the times of 18 May, 1903. A priori, what is the weight of a single publication in a single newspaper, which nothing corroborates, neither on the spot nor later, but it weighs as much

as you want, enormously even. And in this case, the publication of the Times was supported by the protest of prominent British Jews with Montefiore at their head from an internationally known family. Thanks to the climate that ran throughout the world, this letter was a colossal success. The sanguinary intentions against the Jews of the universally aboard czarism, which had not yet been approved were suddenly attested with supporting documents. Articles and meetings had a new upsearch throughout the world. On the third day after the publication, the New York Times pointed out that three days already that the letter was disclosed and no denial occurred, and the British press had already declared it to be authentic. What can we say about the level of civilization of a country

of which a minister can give his signature to such exactions? The Russian government, in its awkwardness and incomprehension of the gravity of the matter, found nothing better to do, nothing better than to negligently abandon a laconic deal signed by the head of the police department, A. Lupin Kien, and only on the ninth day after the scandalous publication of the Times, but instead of investigating the falsification, he simply settled on expelling Brahm from the territory. The letter, of course, is a forgery. But even if it was, it was real, it's been a while since I've since I've heard about it, it just said disturbances.

It had nothing to do with where we need to start killing Jews here or assisting the pogromics. They were talking about any kind of revolutionary disturbance. Even as a forgery, it's pretty vague. But because of this gag order that the state put on their own supporters, they couldn't answer it. And I love how the British press declared it to be authentic.

Well, it was a complete forgery, but this was like the fact checkers back then, claiming to have knowledge about this stuff. The press was in Jewish hands at the time in the West, a very, very strong presence even in Russia itself. And this is when, you know, this was, this and World War I were the two things that the left revolution needed to even have a hope of being successful. One can argue with certainty that this was indeed a forgery for several reasons. Not only because Brahm never exhibited any proof of the authenticity of the letter, not only because Lupinkine, the declared enemy of Plyv, had himself denied this text, not only because Prince Urosov, the great Jewish sympathizer who had succeeded von Robin and controlled the archives of the governorate found no letter of Plev,

not only because poor von Robin dismissed his life and career broken, never, in his desperate efforts to restore his reputation, complained of having received instructions from above, which would have immediately restored his career and made him the idol of liberal society. The main reason lies in the fact that the state archives in Russia had nothing in common with the rigged archives of the Soviet era when any document was concocted upon request and others burned in secret. No, in the Russian archives, everything was preserved, inviably, and forever. Immediately after the February Revolution, an extraordinary commission of inquiry of the provisional government, and still more zealously, the special commission for the study of the history of the pogroms, with investigators as serious as S. Dubnov, Krasny Admoni, did not find the document in Petersburg or Kishinev, nor its record upon entrance or exit, they found only the translation into the English of Brahms' English text, as well as papers containing indications of several punishment and dismissal,

sanctioning any illegal actions by agents responsible for the Jewish question. Now, I've mentioned this before, but I believe this is the first time that Sultan Ethan has brought it up. the provisional government's very honest general commission for investigation. They tried to cover everything. And going through the archives, going through everything, not just in this issue, but in many others, all the things that some of these same people, again, we're accusing the monarchy, have turned out to be false. You know, the resputin issue, the Jewish question,

so many other things, economic issues. And so the enemies of the monarchy were forced to admit. They didn't have to do this. But I guess they, you know, they wanted to be as thorough as possible. And, of course, when the Reds took over, it was a different story. And forged documents, manipulated photograph. That was a Stalinist or the Soviets invented.

a lot of this, Nornberg is a classic example. The show trials, which were taken by Nuremberg as factual. This was something the Soviets did extremely well. So, oh, and this is, so this is the letter that the British press declared authentic. It's absolutely there. And yet their allies eventually will say, between February and October, of 1917 that it didn't exist and all the things that you're accusing the government of in this way didn't exist either. After 1917, what was still to be feared? But not a single witness, not a single

memorialist, was able to tell the story of where the immortal telegram had fallen or to boast of having acted as an intermediary. And Brahms himself, neither at the time nor later, didn't say a single word about it. But this did not prevent the constitutional democratic newspaper wretch from writing with confidence on 19 March 1917. The Bloodbath of Kishnev, the counter-revolutionary programs of 1905, were organized, as was definitely established by the police department. And in August 1917 at the Moscow State Conference, the president of the Special Commission of Inquiry publicly declared that he would soon present the police department's documents concerning the organization of anti-Jewish pogroms, but neither soon nor later, neither the commission

nor subsequent, the Bolsheviks exhibited any document of this kind. Thus, the lion crusted itself, practically up to now. In my November 16th, one of the characters evokes the pogrom of Kishnev, and in 1986, the German publisher adds an explanatory note in this regard, stating anti-Jewish program carefully prepared, which lasted two days. The minister of the interior, PLEV had conjured the governor of Bessarabia in the event of a pogrom not to use firearms. In the recent Jewish encyclopedia in 1996, we read this statement. In April 1903, the new minister of interior PLEV organized with his agents a pogrom in Kishnav. Paradoxically, we read in the previous tomb, the text of PLEV's telegram published in the Times of London

is held by most scholars as being a fake. Well, yeah, as to whether anyone listens to them, it's simply, it's inconvenient for it to be a fake. Reality is what the system says is reality. There's a million, we could all, we all have our favorite examples of ridiculous forgeries and fakes and lies that have become just, you know, alleged common knowledge in the world. Clearly, you could tell Solton Eaton is, is extremely upset as you should be because so many, so much in foreign policy, in the West, or even domestic policy of the Reds, came from this. But notice that in this Jewish drive, I mean, almost obsession to implicate the government in this. In other words, they're not exactly upset about it.

They needed a program, and they tried to connect the government to it. They had one document, which doesn't exist. I've heard about it. I've heard about what the letter allegedly said, never heard anyone saying, well, protect the programists, as I said before. Now it says you don't use firearms. So, and that's, but, and if you go to, on a university campus, maybe right now, the Jewish student union, or even just a regular lecture, you will hear this same lie repeated for the

nine millionth time. And it had a huge input. What the Jews were doing was what the revolutionary movement was doing. creating a cohesive Jewish revolutionary organization that's going to murder the czar and take their revenge

on the black hundreds and the clergy and everything you try and kind of get to clergy in here is even more hilarious something tells me that this wasn't the only forgery that the regime was promoting at the time

the less was promoting at the time but even when you have a full commission from the provisional government saying it didn't exist. None of this stuff is the way you think. They were essentially rejecting their own revolution. At least some of their scholars were. And then of course it didn't matter because the Reds took over shortly thereafter. And then as Sultan-Eason says they purged everything. So now a historian has to piece things together. The other one, of course, was the abdication of Zahar Nicholas. That's a forgery too. In my book on the on the on the on the on the on the on the

murder of Zar Nicholas, um, I have a very detailed, um, argument as to how we know that it's a it's a, uh, it's a forgery. Um, so Nicholas was surrounded by traitors just like a lot of great leaders are. This was a time, you know, the Jews have, have so many methods of getting their way and promoting their agenda. And this is an early manifestation of how they could use something that they create this kind of suffering and weaponize it and create an entire historical school and foreign policy and domestic policy and everything else based on things that didn't happen or at least didn't happen the way they're saying it happened. again, the average, even the average well-educated, norming American, everything he believes about the world is a lie. And here, the false story of the Kishinif program made much more noise than the real,

cruel, and authentic one. Will the point be made one day, or will it take yet another hundred years? The incompetence of the Tsarist government, the decrepitude of its power, had manifested itself on various occasions. In Transcaucasia, for example, during the killing spree between the Armenians and Azeris, but the government was declared guilty only in the affair of Kishiniv. The Jews, wrote D. Pasmanek, have never imputed the pogrom to the people. They have always accused the power in the administration exclusively. No facts could ever shake this opinion. A furthermore, perfectly superficial opinion. And Beekerman emphasized that it was a matter of public

that pogroms were for the government a form of struggle against a revolution. More circumspect minds reasoned thus. If in the recent pogroms no technical preparation by the power is attested, the state of mind which reigns in St. Petersburg is such that any virulent Judeo-phobe will find among the authorities, from the minister to the last sergeant of town, a benevolent attitude towards him. Yet the Kishiniv trial, which took place in the autumn of 1903, showed exactly the opposite. For the liberal and radical opposition, this trial was to be transformed into a battle against the autocracy.

We're sent as civil parties eminent lawyers, Jews and Christians. A bunch of names here I'm not going to pronounce. The brilliant left-wing advocate B. Perez-Verv, and a few others joined as defenders of the accused so that they would not be afraid to tell the court who had prompted them to start the carnage, to clarify, to say that it was the power that had armed them. The civil parties demanded the further investigation be carried out and that the real culprits should be placed on the stand. The authorities did not publish a transcript

so as not to exacerbate the passions in the city of Kishiniv, nor those already white-hot of world opinion. Things were all the easier. The squad of activists who surrounded the civil parties made their own reports and sent them through the world via Romania for publication. This, however, did not modify the course of the transfer trial. The killer's faces were scrutinized, but the culprits were undoubtedly the authorities.

Guilty only, it is true, of not having intervened in a timely manner. At that point, the group of lawyers split a collective statement stating, if the court refuses to bring to justice and punish the main culprit to the pogrom, that is, not some ordinary governor von Robin. He no longer interested anyone. But indeed, Minister Plev himself and the central government of Russia, they will have nothing more to do with this trial. For they encountered such hostility on the part of the court that it gave them no possibility to defend freely and in conscience the interests of their clients as well as those of justice. Their new tactic, this new tactic of the lawyers, which constituted a purely political approach,

proved to be quite fertile and promising. It made a great impression on the whole world. The actions of the lawyers has been approved by all the best. minds in Russia. The older I get, the more I realize that the left, in general, Marxist, anarchist, you know, anywhere in there, their approach to public opinion is based on deceit. Without deceit, without hiding their true intentions, without making up stories, they don't have much.

I don't know if you've had this experience, but whenever I'm debating a leftist social media for example everything that they say tends to it tends to degenerate into them saying well this is what the establishment says you know this is what science says or this is what the press says this is what everyone knows to be true in words their entire argument is based on authority which of course is a fallacy and it's based on the press being correct. Well, most of the time it's not. For the same reasons, I said at the beginning of this show,

they have no obligation to educate you. That's not what a journalist does. They have no obligation to tell you the truth. Their obligation is to excite you, to entertain you. They could say whatever they want. So, now we'll get to the verdict here, the court. The point he's trying to make is that it doesn't matter what the verdict of the court.

is the Western press is still going to hold the government responsible. If you remember in 1992, it was striking to me, the Rodney King beating. I watched that when it first aired. Now, of course, they trimmed it and edited it later. I've read Stacey Coon's book, One of the Cops, that no one else, the book that no one else would want to publish. Right Wing Publication Publishing House did it. the story of that beating, just like, you know, in 2020, George Floyd, bears no related, the truth of that bears no relation to what the press says. There's no relation to what public opinion says about it.

Overwhelmingly, it's a made-up story. And then when the cops were acquitted, rightfully so, the city of L.A. went up in flames. This is the power of journalism. If it wasn't for the media, inventing this story, there would have been no riot. They knew that they were inventing the story because they kept editing and altering the video itself. So this is, even though this was in its infancy, maybe the French Revolutionaries did something similar. It's still happening today. This is why I say the state media in various places.

Like Sana'a and Syria doesn't exist anymore. They were an absolutely necessary counterweight to people like this. State media sometimes is the only way. And they're very critical of governments. They do it all the time. State media might be the only way that an official position would ever be put out, let alone understood. So that's why it exists. And again, I think the gagged.

order is still in effect that supporters of the monarchy were not permitted to talk about it. And so that meant that the floor was given over to the Jews in the left. And these stories got more and more lurid as the years went on and are being taught to this day. The trial before the criminal division of Odessa was now proceeding in order. The prognostications of Western newspapers that the trial of Kishnev was only a masquerade, a parody of justice were not confirmed in any way. The accused, in view of their number, had to be divided into several groups according to the gravity of the charge.

As mentioned above, there were no Jews among the accused. The chief of the gendarme of the province had already announced in April that out of 816 people arrested, 250 had been dismissed for inconsistency of the charges against them, 446 had immediately been the subject of judicial decisions as evidence in the times, and persons convicted by the court had been sentenced to the heaviest penalties. About 100 were seriously charged, including 36 accused of murder and rape. In November, they will be 37. In December, the same chief of the gendarme announced the results of the trial. Deprivation of Rights, property, and penal colony, seven years or five years, deprivation.

of rights in Disciplinary Battalion one year and one and a half years. In all, 25 convictions and 12 acquittals, the real culprits of real crimes had been condemned, the ones we have, the ones we have described. The condemnations, however, were not tender. The drama of Kishchev ends on a usual contradiction in Russia. In Kishniv, criminals seem to be subjected to a rigorous judicial repression. The American Jewish yearbook stated, Asthma. In the spring of 1904, the Cassation proceedings in Petersburg were made public, and in 1905, the Kishina program was once again examined in the Senate. Winiver took the floor to prove nothing new. In reality, the affair of the Kishinau program had inflicted a hard lesson on the Tsarist government

by revealing to it that a state that tolerates such infamy is a scandalously impotent state. but the lesson would have been equally clear without poisonous falsifications or false additions. Why did the simple truths about Kishina's pogrom seem insufficient? Presumably because the truth would have reflected the true nature of the government, a sclerotic organization, guilty of bullying the Jews, but which remained unsteady and incoherent. However, with the aid of lies, it was represented as a wise prosecutor, infinitely sure of himself, and evil. Such an enemy can only deserve annihilation. The Russian government, which for a long time already had been largely surpassed on the international stage, did not understand, either on the spot

nor afterwards, what a shocking defeat it had just wiped out there. This pogrom soiled a stinking stain on all of Russian history, all the ideas that the world had of Russia as a whole, the sinister gleam of fire projected by it announced and precipitated the upheavals which were soon to shake the country. So with all of this, with the absolute refusal, I mean, as I've said a hundred times before, the Jews were organized, they were well armed, they had their own militias in these cities, they were usually the instigator. In my paper on the subject, I go in great detail, where they were the instigators. gators of a lot of this. There usually were, well, actually always more Russian bodies than anybody else.

They convicted 25 of all of this. And again, it doesn't really matter because the press in the West and the local press just said what it wanted. But I like this section here, and you hear about that a lot today. that the Western media, actually is a quote here, the trial of the Kishnan would only be a masquerade a parody of justice. The West does this all the time with elections in places that they know they're going to lose Russia or Belarus, despite the fact that they have hundreds of observers all over the place. Same thing for the Syrian elections, with hundreds of observers all over the place.

So they're almost like handicapping themselves. In case something goes wrong, well, it doesn't matter anyway. But before it even started, they said this is going to be a masquerade. This is a call from the Western media for revolution. The Western media does the exact same thing today, in Russia and other places. You know, the West condemns elections in places like some places like Belarus, weeks before it actually happens. It's just a fill in the blank. It's all the same thing over and over.

again, same accusations, which is a lot of projection, but it's the same thing over and over again. There's no difference. The left's functions, has functioned this way, journalists functioned this way for many, many years. There's nothing special about our age, except now it's far more cohesive and the technology is beyond belief, which means that our job, what we do is absolutely critical because we are the island of sanity in the midst of lies and manipulation. Yeah, that's what we do. It's a little bit, you know, I'm not even being dramatic. That's actually what we do.

Can you imagine believing everything that the press says, how moronic you'd end up sounding? And he also mentions the American Jewish Yearbook. You have an anti-Semitic country that convicted 25 peoples of violence during the program. We don't even know what they were doing. They probably took advantage of what was going on. It's not like these were activists. These could have been anybody. The people that the police were able to arrest.

But people also don't really. We've talked about this before. the lack of a real police department, the lack of a prison system. You know, Russia was still a medievalist type of older empire and not a country like France was. Austria was kind of like that too.

Turkey was sort of like that. It was an empire, not a country, and had a very different understanding of what politics is and how different ethnic groups relate to the center. I've written about that since I was 20. So a lot of the contradictions in like, you know, American Jewish yearbook, they were, they were, well, the government's involved, but they arrested their own people

and convicted 25 of them. So as he says, they're astonished. Of course, it's a contradiction, but it doesn't matter. The overwhelming thrust of everything coming out of Russia and then accepted without criticism at all. And certainly Hearst was already on board. He didn't care. He's going to publish any nonsense. And he wasn't a Jew.

Jewish owners of the press were doing the exact same thing. There were protests, you know, violence outside of the court, which doesn't make any sense if you know what a court is. You know, trying to force a conviction by intimidation, which

happened after Charlottesville. You know, this kind of of thing. It's nothing new. And clearly with 25 convictions, the state had absolutely nothing to do with it. The state

hated it. The state was opposed to all of this. And so far, from the very beginning of us dealing with this book, the state has spent a fortune on the Jews. The land settlements, the tax of forgiveness,

while this is a thanks that they get, and these pogroms have to be concocted in the Jewish mind, because this is the only way in an economy that's doing extremely well, which it was at the time, for the peasants were the overwhelming owners of the land. I said this way. Taxes were low. The standard of living is high.

Cost of living is low. Wages were the highest in Europe. All of this. Tremendous economic growth. tremendous population growth how do we how do we get a revolution out of that and with the Jews as the core

they needed to create these if they don't have a scandal they have to invent it and that's pretty much what they did that's what they've done they're doing it to this you know to this day almost everything out of the mouth of the media and the left

is based on some myth some story that they've been told Can we scroll back to the bottom of page 196? I wanted to ask you about the last sentence on that page. It says, and here the false story of the Kishina program was made much more noise than the real, cruel, and authentic one. Is he talking about just the actual events that happened, or what's he talking about there? well there was violence there there was anti-Jewish violence

there was anti-Russian violence of course it's cruel almost by its very definition you know this is based entirely on Jewish behavior of course cruelty exists in any kind of civic unrest matter what it is you're going to find cruelty even if we agree with it

but if the truth had been let out it wouldn't have had near the impact that they're invented stories that anything of course it was cruel you know it shouldn't have happened you imagine if these same people lived in America today what they would do

compared to them I mean this was this was a picture of health in society compared to 2025 in the U.S. You know I don't believe in violence but we see what the

what the Tsarist government attempted to do and it didn't matter it was never enough they simply took advantage of it and yeah there's going to be anti-Jewish acts but nothing he rapes and all this stuff organized by the state nothing like they they claimed and that's what got into the Western media you know anything like this is going to have cruelty and nastiness to it

and affects people unfairly. But that's what happens when you have a hundred commissions on what to do about a problem. None of it actually solves it. As we're reading through this and you read about the, you know, what they say happened in the programs. I remember on October 7th, after October 7th, when the story started coming out,

I was just like, you know, we've heard this all before. And then if you go back and you like read before October 7th, if you went back and read what they were saying happened in the programs, you're like, we've heard this all before. It's just, they're basically telling the same story over and over again. And they, it's the same atrocities over and over again. Yeah, same language, the same language, the same treatment of the centers. You would think what? You would think for people who, you know, do so much. writing and fiction in Hollywood and everything that they would be able to come up with something new.

Oh, yeah. It's like when the Russia gate came out, I said, you know, the regime has the ruling class has the CIA, every university, every corporation, and that's what they come up with. It's almost deliberately stupid. It's like the ISIS nonsense. They deliberately created a Hollywood bad guy type organization wearing black in the desert you know out in the open with oil tankers

they're trying to make it as stupid as they possibly can I guess they're seeing how far they can go you know these these stories and the only people who can't see a pattern are American academics and it's their job to see a pattern

it's their job to go beyond to reject journalism and go to the core of the matter. That's a very good way of explaining what a scholar is supposed to do. And that's why today the words academic and scholar don't mean the same thing. All right. Well, we'll come back on the next episode and we'll be starting chapter nine, which is titled During the Revolution of 1905.

I wonder how many people are realizing there was a revolution in 1905. All right. Everyone, please go to the show notes and go to wherever the video is, click on the links and donate to Dr. Johnson. Please keep him unemployed. Please keep him teaching us. I think we would all appreciate that at this point. Thank you, my friend. All right.

Thank you, Dr. Jay. Talk to you in a couple days. All right. Bye-bye. I want to welcome everyone back to part 35 of our reading of 200 years together. by Alexander Solzhenyson. How are you done today, Dr. Johnson? We're on page 205.

You know, it only took us 30 whatever episodes. That's progress. You know, we still have, you know, more than 400 to go. But, you know, I could do this. I could do this forever. I'm having a great time. Awesome. Awesome.

Good to hear it. So am I. And all the feedback I'm getting is the term that keeps coming back over and over again is a semester of college just on one subject. So I think that's very promising. If you listen to me, if you listen to me, all you're getting, Radio Albion or anywhere else, all you're getting is university lectures. That's all I do. There's no guests. There's no bells or whistles. That's all it is. And I've heard that before. So. Yeah. And it's awesome. Haven't heard a, haven't heard a negative comment yet. I think one negative comment on my

pronunciation of Russian, and I apologize. Give me a break. Oh, screw them. I imagine. You know, I don't know. My pronunciation could be bad, too. I don't, you know, I'm reading everything. I rarely hear it. 100%. All right, here we go. Start in chapter nine during the Revolution in 1905. The Kishinaev-Pogrom produced a devastating and indelible effect on the Jewish community in Russia. Jabotinsky. Kishnav traces the boundary between two epochs, two psychologies. The Jews of Russia have not only experienced deep sorrow, but more profoundly so, something which had almost made one forget the pain, and that was shame. If the carnage of Kishchev played a major role in the realization of our situation, it was because we then realized that the Jews were cowards. We have already mentioned the failure of the police and the awkwardness of the authorities. It was therefore natural that the Jews had asked themselves to question, should we continue to rely on protection of public authorities?

Why not create our own armed militias and defend ourselves weapons in hand? They were incited by a group of prominent public men and writers, Dubnav, Ahadham, Ravininsky, Ben, Ami, Beulik. Brothers, cease weeping and begging for mercy. Do not expect any help from your enemies. only rely on your own arms. Well, that had already been the case. Zabotinsky at least have the decency to say we need to get out and go to Palestine because he was a fanatical Zionist. But when he's talking about two epochs, two psychologies, he's talking about perception.

We've already been through what this with alleged pogrom really was and who really suffered from it. but in terms of media, Jewish mind, Jewish exaggeration, on and on, hearing this from the Western press, read back to them again, it created this,

you know, he uses the word carnage, which is an exaggeration. You know, it's really hard to build a revolutionary movement, whether it be Zionist or Marxist, when the economy is doing very,

very well. And wages are, going through the roof and everything else we've been talking about here. And so to build this, you know, they have to go to things like this. They have to start exaggerating these things. Now, they've been doing this for a long time, but it was very successful. Remember last time or two times ago, I think it was 8% of the Jewish population bothered to learn Russian. So it was very easy.

If something got into the Yiddish press, you know, first of all, Russians really didn't know what was being said there. And they were isolated enough. that they never heard anything else. So you had these outraged Jews, but I want to make it clear that these militias, there were no gun laws in the Russian Empire, that these armed Jews, especially in Ukraine, especially near the Black Sea, Odessa, etc.,

have been around for some time. And so many of these pogroms came from these armed groups starting a fight with Russians at various times, at processions. And even if they're correct, the Jews are correct on this, the terrorism that Russia was going through was extraordinary. You had thousands of low-level bureaucrats who were being shot, sometimes high-level people.

The political murder, this assassination was constant. It was a terrifying time. And these Jewish leftist groups were. at the core of it. And so relying on the public authority, that was never an issue in the first place. Jews can never comprehend that there are consequences to their actions. They believe themselves so superior that, you know, how dare you question anything we do? And when you add the isolation to that, they're only speaking Yiddish, not hearing anything from the outside with the exception of a handful, you know, you have, you have this kind of mentality,

which is still with us today. These calls produced on Jewish youth the effect of an electric shock. And in the overheated atmosphere that began to rain after the Kishinaev program, armed groups of self-defense quickly saw the light at various locations in the Pala settlement. They were generally financed by the Jewish community, and the illegal introduction of weapons from abroad did not pose a problem for the Jews. It was not unusual for these weapons to fall into the hands of very young people. Official reports do not indicate the existence of armed groups among the Christian population. The government struggled as best it could against the bombs of terrorists.

When armed militias began to develop, it saw in them, it is only natural, totally illegal demonstrations, the premises of the civil war, and it banned them by the means and information it had at its disposal. Also today, the whole world condemns and prohibits illegal paramilitary formations. Well, they were involved in smuggling from day one. I've never looked into the connection between the British arms industry and importing them into Russia. Now, import laws were a whole different matter, but I have the feeling they talk about weapons. They're not just talking about pistols. They're talking about more serious things. Of course, the state is going to going to react to that. The only thing that really developed in the Christian side were the Black

Hundreds, which was a very large organization, and mostly in Ukraine. A highly operational armed group was formed in Gamal under the direction of the local committee of the Bund. On March 1st, 1903, the latter had organized festivities for the anniversary of the execution of Alexander II. In this city, where Christians and Jews were nearly equal in number, and the socialist Jews were more than determined, the establishment of armed groups of self-defense was particularly strong. This was to be noted during the events of August 29th through September 1st, 1903, the Gamel pogrom. According to the findings of the official investigation, the responsibility for the program is shared.

Christians and Jews mutually attacked each other. Let us take a closer look at the official documents at the time. In this case, the indictment of the Gamel affair based on the police. police reports drawn up on the spot. Police reports, which date back to the early 20th century in Russia, have repeatedly proven their accuracy and their irreproachable precision, and this up to the hustle and bustle of the days of February 1917, up to the moment where the police stations of Petrograd were vested by the insurgents burnt down. Since then, the stream of minutely recorded information was cut off and remained so for us.

at the Gamal trial, the indictment states the Jewish population began to procure weapons and to organize self-defense circles in the event of trouble directed at the Jews. Some residents of Gamal had the opportunity to attend Jewish youth training sessions outside the city and which gathered up to 100 people practicing shooting guns. The generalization of the possession of weapons on the one hand, the awareness of one's numerical superiority and cohesion, on the other hand, have emboldened the Jewish populations to the extent that among its youth, they spoke not only of self-defense, but of indispensable revenge for the Kishinaw program. Do you remember back in the 90s, the regime went crazy over the militia movement? Yeah, it's called a lot of it.

Pac-Con. Yeah, yeah, completely invented a lot of it. Well, at the same time, without the tiniest threat to Jews, they always had militias operating in the Adirondacks in upstate, New York. Not just the Jewish Defense League did it, but others like Jewish defense organization, which was apparently far more militant. I don't know what exists of them anymore. But this has always been the case. This isn't, this has nothing, you know, they were not threatened in any way. they were the threat.

But as the regime was going crazy over these alleged militias, the Jews had been doing it. And we see back in, if you remember, in 2020, black militias, now they may have been, you know, for the cameras, but you had these, you know, black power militias that were marching with weapons through the city, you know, especially being in places like Detroit or Chicago. So it's only, the concern is white people, not anybody else.

But again, revenge for the, for the program, as if they weren't doing anything to provoke this. And I think that the shared responsibility, I think that's the case in all of these. These didn't happen for no reason. And we're talking about a place like Gamel or Odessa where you have huge numbers of Jews. and, you know, there were 50% in these cases.

By the way, the first places that raised the red flag, by the way, in 1917. Thus, hatred expressed in one place is reflected in another, distant, and against the innocent. For some time past, the attitude of the Jews of Gamal has become not only contemptuous, but frankly provocative. The attacks, both verbal and physical, on peasants and workers, have become commonplace in the Jews. display their contempt in all sorts of ways, even against the Russians belong to higher social strata, for example, by forcing soldiers to change sidewalk. On August 29, 1903, everything started with a banal incident in a market, an altercation between the herring merchant Meletskaya and her client Shalikov. She spat in his face. The dispute turned into a brawl. Immediately several Jews rushed

upon Shalikov, threw him to the ground, and began to strike him with everything they could put their hands on. A dozen peasants wanted to defend Shalikov, but the Jews immediately emitted whistles previously agreed upon, causing a considerable influx of other Jews. No doubt these whistles were a call for help. Thus, they immediately mobilized the entire Jewish population of the city, on foot by car armed as they could. The Jews flocked to the market everywhere. Very soon, The street of the market, the market itself, and all the adjacent streets were swarming with people. The Jews were armed with stones, sticks, hammers, specially made clubs, and even simply iron bars. Everywhere, shouts were heard.

Let's go Jews to the market. It is pogrom of the Russians, and all this mass went into small groups to pursue the peasants to strike them. And the latter were numerous on a market day, leaving there their purchases, the peasants, when they had time, jumped on their chariots and hastened to leave the city. Witnesses say that when they caught Russians, the Jews beat them without mercy. They beat old people, women, and even children. For example, a little girl was pulled out of a chariot and dragged by her hair on the roadway. A peasant by the name of Silkoff had placed himself at some distance to enjoy the spectacle while nibbling a piece of bread. At that moment, a Jew who ran behind him struck his throat with a mortal knife wound, then disappeared among the crowd.

Other episodes are listed. An officer was only saved thanks to the intervention of Rabbi Mayants and the owner of the neighboring house, Ruseevsky. Upon arriving at the scene, the police were welcomed on the Jews side by a hail of stones and by revolver shots, which started not only from the crowd, but also from the balconies of neighboring buildings. The violence against a Christian population continued almost until the evening, and it was only the arrival of the detachments from the army that the mobs of Jews were dispersed. The Jews struck the Russians, and especially the peasants, who were incapable of any resistance either because of their small number compared to that of the Jews or because of their lack of defenses. That day, all the victims were Russians. Many wounded, people beat to a pulp. The indictment concludes, with regards to the events of August 29th, that they undeniably had the character of an anti-Russian pogrom. Well, that's exactly. That's

exactly what it was. And this was hardly the first time. This is what isolation, linguistic, and otherwise, does. See, normally I would, I would treat attacks on children as, um, uh, with, with skepticism. I usually do. A normal people don't do that. But when you're taught from birth that these aren't really humans, when these are animals, you end up treating them the same way. And their isolation allows this. The fact that they could blow a whistle and this militia shows up

suggests that it wasn't done overnight. They had been practicing this long before Kishna or anything else. This was the norm. But it wasn't like an anti-Russian program, it wasn't. And this was not the first time, and this most certainly won't be the last time. These kind of things are a harbinger of what's going to happen in the Soviet Union on a very different scale.

These facts cause deep indignation among the Christian population, which reinforced the euphoric mood of the Jews, their enthusiasm. We are no longer in Kishchev. On September 1st, after the midday siren, the railway workers were abnormally noisy as they left the workshop. shouts and exclamations were heard, and the chief of police ordered to block the bridge leading to the city. Then the workers spread to the neighboring streets, and stones flew out to the windows of houses inhabited by Jews, while in the city were beginning to form large gatherings of Jews who threw from a distance pieces of wood and stones onto the crowd of workers. Two paving stones thrown by the Jewish crowd struck a police commissar commissioner in the back who fell unconscious. The Russian crowd began to yell. The kikes have killed the commissary and undertook to sack Jewish houses and shops. The intervention of the troop, which separated the adversaries and deployed itself in the face of both, prevented the shedding of blood.

On the Jews side, stones were thrown, and revolver shots were fired at the soldiers with a shower of insults. The commander asked Rabbi Mayans and Dr. Zalkind to intervene with the Jews, but their appeals for calm were no effect and the crowd continued its agitation. It was only possible to draw it back by pointing the bayonets. The main success of the army was to prevent the breakers from reaching the city center, which were found the shops and houses of the wealthy Jews. Then the pogrom moved to the outskirts of the city. The chief of police still tried to exhort the crowd, but they cried out, you are with the Jews, you are betrayed us. The Salvos drawn from the troops upon the Russians as well as the Jews curb the pogrom. But two hours later, it resumed

in the suburbs. Again, shootings on the crowd, several dead and wounded, and then the pogrom ceased. However, the indictment refers to the presence in the city center of groups of Jews who conducted themselves in a very provocative manner and opposed the army and the police. As on 29th of August, all were armed, many brandish revolvers and daggers, going as far as firing shots are throwing stones on the troops charged to protect their property. They attacked the Russians who ventured alone in the streets, including the soldiers, a peasant and a beggar were killed. During the day, three middle-class Jews succumbed to deadly wounds.

Towards the evening, the disorder ceased. Five Jews and four Christians have been killed. Nearly 250 commercial or residential premises belonging to Jews had been affected by the pogrom. On the Jewish side, the overwhelming majority of active participants in the events consisted exclusively of young people, but many more mature people as well as children, but many more mature people as well as children had handed them stones, boards, and logs. No description of these events can be found by any Jewish writer. Now, that shouldn't surprise anybody.

In this case, it's not a pogrom at all. This shows the power of mythology, that when you have the resources, when you have essentially a captive audience speaking a different language and the rest of the population you can create a make-believe world and I've read a few things of course I don't know anything about Yiddish

but I've read some translations of things from that era the lurid descriptions that were inventing things all over the place you know random murders of rabbis for no reason rapes constantly you know, fake quotes from the monarch, all this stuff. They were deliberately creating this, but already existed,

but trying to activate and weaponize the hatred that Jews already had against the Goyim. And myth was a huge part of it, creating this, a non-existent world. But remember, in the beginning, we talked about that with the Kahal. they said you know keeping the poor jew or poorer jews in the kaha was easy because they said if you leave us and go out and assimilate well they're animals

they're going to kill you they're going to they're going to torment and they're doing the same thing here they don't really need the kaha'at for that they you know propaganda when we use the word propaganda it's implied that the

What's being said is either a lie or an exaggeration. Maybe there's a little speck of truth to it that they exaggerate beyond belief. Propaganda that's true doesn't sound right to me. And now, this could only happen where you have huge numbers of Jews in one place. Like, you know, in parts of Brooklyn in America, they could pull off something like this and do on a fairly regular basis. but otherwise in other places, they need to use minorities. They need to use other groups of people that they can manipulate to do this exact same thing for them, all of course benefiting them. But let's just say that the story of the programs up until this point had been true.

you know, it's not, but let's just say it is. Given the terrorism that Jewish groups were, had plunged Russia into, the fear that they have created. Now, you have actual, you know, lure descriptions of things that are true. It's a shock. It took them this long. And it took them this long to create any kind of militant organizations like the Blackhundred, which, you know, developed a little later, huge numbers, but, you know, never really, you know, weren't capable of doing a whole lot. They weren't like the Jewish Defense League or the Jewish Defense Organization in America, even though there's nothing for them to protect. You know, this is, their stories are projections because these awful, you know, terrible story about me, you're murdering people.

well, the Jewish organizations were doing that already. Somehow, by projecting this onto Russians, they're able to feel better about it. I mean, they're, they're neurotic people. The Jews have always, you know, Woody Allen makes fun of that all the time. So this shouldn't surprise anybody, especially in areas where you have, you know, 50% Jews, Gamel, Odessa, a handful of other places. and this is going to be, you know, what the Jews have always thought, now they feel the freedom to actually say in public

and to actually do, we hate you, we're going to kill you. It's not about any pogrom. They believed it happened, but it doesn't, you know, it really doesn't matter. They always felt this way. This is why, and by the way, we're talking about these workers, right? railway workers and others who came over and were defending defending people against the Jews.

Well, these are the same workers allegedly that the communists from the same area from the same group of people we're going to be the spokesman for. Just one more piece of evidence that they don't give a damn about workers. There's nothing to do with how workers are treated. You know, you hear today how the left talks about, you know, blue collar whites.

They used to claim to speak for the working class. Now they despise the working class so long as they're so long as they're white enjoying their total destruction. The redneck nonsense as they're destroying the family form over the last 50 years. So for them to claim to

we were interested in workers but it was the workers who had turned on them here they didn't care about their well-being it was just another myth that they have created, but this is the power of these stories in an isolated and impressionable population. The Gamal program had not taken its organizers off guard. It had been prepared for a long time.

The formation of self-defense had been put in place soon after the events of Kishinau. Only a few months after Kishna, the Jews could no longer despise themselves for the resigned attitude with which they were accused. accused of, among others, by the poet Beulik. And, as always happens with armed groups of this type, the boundary between defense and attack became blurred. The first was fed by the Kishina Pogrom, the second of the revolutionary spirit of the organizers.

Activism of Jewish youth had already manifested itself before. Thus, in 1890, the club affair was revealed in this city where there were nine Jews. for a Russian, disarmed Russian soldiers, they were demobilized, were severely beaten by Jews. After examining this episode, the Senate considered it to be a manifestation of ethnic and religious hatred of Jews towards Russians under the same article of the Penal Code as that had been applied to the trial of those responsible for the Kishnev pogrom. If we go back to the Dershavin Commission in the reign of Emperor Paul, just at the turn of the of the 19th century.

He speaks of this sort of behavior, not necessarily beating someone over the head with a club, but destroying whole communities with debt, plying them with alcohol, introducing them to the tavern life, using alcohol to get them to sign contracts and documents. They didn't even know what they were doing, that they had in effect control over the entire,

area through debt. So, yeah, they weren't beating people over the head, but it was still violence. You know, at the end of the day, it's still the exact same thing. It's this exact same kind of suffering. Now they feel that they have the freedom to do this and also that they have foreign support because throughout all of this, their British and American government were condemning Russia on a daily basis. The only reason, you know, containing Germany was the only reason that Britain had any use for

Russia. Otherwise, there were bitter enemies. This activism must not be accounted for solely by the Bund. At the head of this process, at the head of this process are formed the Zionists and the parties close to Zionism, the Zionist socialists and the Poile Zion, Zion. Thus, it is how in Gomel in 1903, the majority of the detachments were organized by the Poile-Layan Party, which contradicts Bookbinder, fervent admirer of the Bund. I do not really know whom to believe.

When the news of Gomel's program reached St. Petersburg, the Jewish Defense Office dispatched two lawyers, still Zerudni and N.D. Sokolov to proceed to a private investigation as soon as as possible. So Rudney once again gathered irrefutable proofs that the program had been organized by the Department of Security, but here also they were not made public. Thirty years later, even Sleusberg, who participated in the trials of Gomel, followed suit in his memoirs in three volumes, asserting without any shred of evidence, which seems incomprehensible on the part of a lawyer, mistaking the dates, and those errors that can be attributed to age, he found no one to correct them. that the Gomel program had been deliberately organized by the police.

He excludes also all offensive action on the part of the self-defense detachments of the Bund and of the Poil-Lay-Zion. He speaks of it incoherently and confusedly. For example, the young people of the self-defense groups quickly put an end to the misbehavior and drove out the peasants. The young Jews gathered promptly, and on more than one occasion, they were able to repel the rioters. just like that without using any weapons? The official investigation was proceeding seriously step by step, and during that time, Russia was plunging into the Japanese war, and it was not until October 1904 that Gamal's trial took place in a white-hot political atmosphere.

Just like I have the suspicion that Britain was the source of the weapons that were coming in, probably through Ukraine. to arm these Jewish groups. And, of course, they had plenty of money. And Britain probably was at least part of the source of it. At the same time, the British were arming the Japanese. I have a lengthy paper on the truth of the Russo-Japanese War. And it often seems that every revolutionary movement needs,

especially when things are going well, again, these areas are very prosperous, Jewish and otherwise, especially compared to to had it been 100 years earlier. And the army of the Japanese was to drive the Russians out of the far east. Every revolution needs a war. Especially when things are going well. Every revolution needs a war to justify itself.

The left use Vietnam to take over most of our institutions. World War I, the Russo-Japanese, war here in Russia. It happens quite often, especially if that war isn't going well. One of the constants of history is that a lost war or a war that's perceived to be lost is something that delegitimizes a state like no other, like no other action. A lost war, it affects us in some visceral kind of a way that just delegitimizes everything that a government does. You know, Stalin and Stalinism, the Soviet Union, which remained where it was because of World War II, that whole mythology.

But without the Russo-Japanese War, there would have been no 1905 revolution. Without World War I, there would have been no February Revolution. 44 Christians and 36 Jews appeared before the court. Nearly a thousand people were called to the witness then. The defense office was represented by several lawyers, Sliusburg, Kaperna, Mendenlstam, Kalmanovich, Ratner, Kroll. From their point of view, it was unjust that even a single Jew should be included in the bench of the accused. For the entire Jewish community in Russia, it was like a warning against recourse to self-defense. From the government's point of view, this was not self-defense, but the lawyers of the Jewish defendants did not deal with the details,

nor the Jewish property that had already been sacked. They focused only on one thing to uncover the political motives of the pogrom. For example, to point out that Jewish youth in the midst of the fray was shouting down with the autocracy. In fact, shortly afterwards, they decided to abandon the cities and leave the courtroom collectively in order to send an even stronger message to repeat the precedent of the Kishenov trial. This method, as skillful as it was revolutionary, was entirely in the air of the time in

December 1904. these liberal advocates wanted to explode the judicial system itself. After their departure, the trial quickly came to an end, insofar as it was now possible to examine the facts. Some of the Jews were acquitted, the others were sentenced to penalties not exceeding five months. The condemnations which befell the Christians were equal to those of the Jews. In the end, there were about as many convictions on one side as on the other. there's a there's a deep neurosis here where if you ask a lot of these you know like cooper nick

Schlossberg ask them why why has this violence against Jews occurred they're not going to say well it's because of our behavior I know everyone who's listening to to this knows that but sometimes it has it bears repeating because it's it's not something that that we could wrap our head around very quickly by walking out the courtroom

its protests against the fact that Jews are the very fact that an Orthodox power, an Orthodox monarchy of all things dares to stand in judgment of a Jew that was too much even for secular Jews to handle. You know, this was, if you read Lenin, even Stalin, Trotsky, a lot of the earlier writers in the revolution, right up and through the 1920s, their opponents are called pogromists quite often.

The Black Hundred clergy, the pogromous clergy. This became the mythological center of their justification for the violence against their enemies. This myth, at least in part, led to the murder of Tsar Nicholas II and his family. And getting aid in comfort from the British shouldn't surprise anyone at this point but the arrogance

the pomposity the refusal to comprehend this collective narcissism in the true sense of the word that infects Jews both then and now refusing to see the connection between their murderous behavior their unjust behavior

in Russia, the Polish Empire, Ukraine and that may have a connection with the reaction of the of the Goyim. The refusal to see that is part of the biggest problem. For all their alleged intelligence, they simply don't know when to stop. Because we have proven. This book has proven, irrefutably, that the Russian government was very positively disposed towards the Jews for decades and decades. That's a sheer amount of work that was done to try to figure out this problem, the money that they received. And in return, they got, you know, mass murder. And so when the Soviets began, you know, slaughtering these people, it was just this kind of thing. Just now we have an army on our side.

We have a bureaucracy. Stalinist slaughters were the same as the Leninist slaughters. Just he had more people. He had more technology. He had a better bureaucracy and everything else. They were identical in terms of their policies and how bloodthirsty they were. but there is no division. This is just a magnification of what was happening here.

And the arrogance of walking out of a courtroom goes back to the fact that no Gentiles should ever, especially in an Orthodox country, should be in judgment of a Jew. That they couldn't handle, and that explains a lot of their behavior. It's pure neurosis and pure Jewish supremacy. We'll start reading a little bit of this next section, and I'm sure we'll find a spot to cut off.

By plunging into the Japanese war, by adopting a rigid and insightful stance in the conflict over Korea, neither the Emperor Nicholas II nor the high dignitaries around him realized how much on the international plane. Russia was vulnerable to the West and especially to the traditionally friendly America. nor do they take into account the rise of Western financiers, who are already influencing the policy of the great powers, increasingly dependent on credit. In the 19th century, things did not happen this way yet, and the Russian government, always slow to react, did not know how to perceive these changes. However, after the Kishna Pogrom, Western opinion had become firmly established an attitude of repulsion towards Russia, considered as an old scarecrow, an Asian, and despotic country where obscurantism reigns, where the people are exploited, where the revolutionaries are treated without pity, subjected to inhuman sufferings and deprivations,

and now they are massacring the Jews by the thousands, and behind all this, there is the hand of the government. As we have seen, the government was unable to rectify this distorted version of the facts in time with energy and efficiency. So, in the West, people began to consider it appropriate, even worthy consideration, to hope that the revolution would break out in Russia as soon as possible. It would be a good thing for the whole world than for the Jews of Russia in particular. Yeah, this is against the Russian nation.

This is against Russians as such, not the government. So much of what passed for anti-communism was in fact Russophobia, the hatred and fear of Russians. This was a core principle, especially to the Jewish neocons coming out of the Trotky movement. They kind of shed a lot of their, you know, blatantly,

um, uh, communist, uh, thinking, but it didn't really matter. So long as the Stalinist, they, they, they created a whole myth about Stalin as the anti-Semite, uh, being your classic, I mean, he wasn't Russian, but being your classic Russian animal, blaming all of the slaughters of, and all the distortions of Marxism on him,

which of course saves Marxism from from being delegitimized by all this. Again, we keep going back to myth. It's one myth. It's one story after another. There is nothing that I started my career. That last paragraph that you read on Western opinion. Now, it wasn't just the program. That had existed certainly during the Crimean War.

it had existed even among the British under the reign of Ivan Iven the 4th, Ivan the Terrible. This had been around for a very long time, and it largely comes out of ignorance, and the fact that the Russian state was the bulwark against revolution. People forget capitalism was as much of a revolutionary ideology as Marxism was, and it's actually very much a part of the Marxist mentality. So the slaughter of Russians was something considered perfectly acceptable and nothing has changed. So when I started my career, this is, I'm not Russian. I don't have Slavic blood in me at all.

I'm an Irishman. My mother had some Hungarian in her. But I have no ethnic connection here. I have a religious connection, but I don't have an ethnic connection. It's just the blatant injustice that actually is not just a matter of thought. it actually goes into behavior. The whole point, the war in Ukraine has been lost since 2022. The point isn't to win.

It's to kill more Russians, you know, at the expense of almost the entire Ukrainian population. So this genocidal mentality has been around a long time, creating chemical weapons that only affect the genes of ethnic Russians. Russians have been around for some time. General Maxwell, I think it was Maxwell Taylor, head of the Joint Chiefs of staff, for both the Lyndon Johnson and JFK. His whole strategy, nuclear strategy, was to hit Russian areas, was only to hit Russian speaking areas rather than anywhere else in the Soviet Union. This was an anti-Russian movement.

It's irrational. You still hear people in NATO today saying that Russia is going to invade Western Europe, unless we stop them in Ukraine. They have no evidence for that. There's no reason for that. It's this, again, it's this visceral mentality. And it comes from this Jewish line of thought, this deep-seated hatred. And it's not just a matter of make-believe history and mythology.

It actually translates to evil, to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people, as is still going on today. And above all, the incompetence, the incapacity, the unpreparedness to conduct far-off military operations against a country that at the time seemed small and weak in the context of an agitated, openly hostile public opinion that longed for the defeat of its own country. The sympathy of the United States for Japan expressed itself abundantly in the American press. It hailed every Japanese victory and did not hide its desire to see Russia undergo a rapid and decisive setback. Vitt mentions twice in his memoirs that President Theodore Roosevelt was on the side of Japan and supported it. And Roosevelt himself, as soon as this war broke out, I brought to Germany and France's attention with the utmost courtesy and discretion that in case of an anti-Japanese agreement with Russia, I would immediately take the side of Japan and would do everything in the future to serve its interests. It may be supposed that Roosevelt's intentions were not unknown to Japan. It's very important.

I think because we're getting into Jacob Schiff here, I think maybe we should stop here, if that's okay by you. Absolutely. Of course, Japan was armed by the British Institute, to a much lesser extent, the Americans. The Russian press, you know, the pattern seems to be that the Russian liberal press, the Jewish press, invents a story to discredit their enemies. it gets translated into English and in Britain of course without criticism or anything even if it doesn't make sense it's repeated

and then of course that gets to the U.S. and France and the Russia didn't lose the Russo-Japanese War that's a myth it was extremely difficult for the Russians being thousands of miles away from their normal center They had very little military infrastructure out there.

But eventually, you know, Russia had half a million troops each out there. Japan was completely and utterly exhausted. You know, poor Arthur, you know, the Japanese lost a massive amount of men and equipment trying to take it. The commander of that eventually, ritually kills himself, saying I'm incompetent. It was perceived as a defeat in Japan the entire war. None of their major goals were met. But at the time, and the same thing goes for the U.S. in Vietnam, the U.S. defeat was wildly exaggerated.

American atrocities especially, almost trying to cover for the North's atrocities, were exaggerated. My lie was a complete myth. I have a paper on that. tried to do the same thing in Korea but this seems to be the pattern I wonder if if Theodore Roosevelt was here

and he makes that statement we and well why would you immediately take the sign of Japan I suppose given what we've read so far he would say well because of the Jews because of the pogromes

and it seems to be the key element their power is is this sometimes or most of the time an unspoken entity that contextualizes everything, which means if you're a historian and you're writing about this stuff and you're not allowed to talk about that powerful entity, you're going to sound ridiculous. And I keep going back to why I started doing this.

This is at least part of the reason because no one else was doing it. And many hundreds of writers have followed me in that regard more recently. it's so blatantly idiotic for Roosevelt to say something like this for Randolph Hurst to say he wanted to slaughter

of Russians over the pogrom, all this stuff. Myth after myth, story after story. But that paragraph we read a little while ago about what the Western world thought of Russia it hasn't gone anywhere. And you know, look at what the West is willing

to sacrifice to try to contain Russia. Russia doesn't have to be contained. It doesn't want to expand anywhere. It has given zero evidence for this. And yet there's this deep down visceral hatred. And I think ultimately it comes down to this projection of the Jewish neurosis. It's really hard to come up with another reason other than just blatant ignorance. You know, Johnson's law, the more obscure the country, the more the media can lie about it.

Because there's so few people who can refute it. and the more they can make mistakes and not really worry about it, even if they're not deliberately lying, they make errors, but they don't have to do due diligence because who's going to say otherwise? And Russia at the time, and to a great extent now is one of those places. North Korea, of course, is the worst, but they could say anything.

And it'll be believed the entire media establishment is there to produce mythology. A mythology, like an action, movie, the 80s Rambo kind of thing, Schwarzenegger kind of thing. It's very hard to separate that kind of mentality from foreign policy reporting, especially now that these so-called reporters are embedded

in the military itself. You can't trust anything coming out of there. The entire history, probably more than the entire history of the 20th century has to be completely rewritten. Everything is a story. Everything is a myth. And journalists

have dominated it from the beginning. Jewish media has always been at the center of that. But getting down to what Russophobia is, where it comes from, there isn't really a rational basis for it outside of ignorance or Jewish influence. All right. Let's put this on pause until tomorrow. And as I do at the end of every episode, please go to the show notes. Please go to the videos.

And you will see all of the links to the place. where you can support Dr. Johnson and his work. I appreciate it. You know that. Thank you. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Thank you. All right, my friend.

Bye-bye. I want to welcome everyone back to part 36 of our reading of 200 years together by Alexander Solzhenison. Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today? You know, I heard that Whoopi Goldberg said that communism wasn't a bad thing. And I heard, I heard someone say that. that, well, it would make sense because she's so fat now. The communist system, she would absolutely lose weight. She would have no choice as far as their food policy goes.

So that's probably, you know, it may be a good thing in her particular case. I would love to see that. I would love to see her, you know, trying to dress down Stalin in the way they cackle on that friggin' show. I only know it from, from parodies. never actually watched it. All right, here we go. Picking up where we left off yesterday. And it was there that the very powerful banker, Jacob Schiff, appeared.

One of the greatest of the Jews, he who could realize his ideals, thanks to his exceptional position in the economic sphere. From his earlier years, Schiff took care of business affairs. He emigrated from Germany to New York and soon became head of the Bank Cube, Loeb, and company. In 1912, he is in America, the King of Rail, owner of 22,000 miles of railroads. He also has a reputation as an energetic and generous philanthropist. He is particularly sensitive to the needs of the Jewish community. Schiff was particularly keen on the fate of the Russian Jews, hence his hostility towards Russia until 1917. According to the Encyclopedia Judeica,

in English, Schiff made a remarkable contribution to the allocation of credits to his own government and to that of other countries, particularly pointing out a loan of $200 million to Japan during the conflict opposing it to Russia in 1904, 1905. Outraged by the anti-Semitic policy of the Tsarist regime in Russia, he eagerly supported the Japanese war effort. He constantly refused to participate in lending to Russia and used his influence to deter other insuffer. institutions from doing so, while granting financial aid to the self-defense groups of Russian Jews. But while it is true that this money allowed the Bund and the Poli-Zion to supply themselves with weapons, it is no less likely that they also benefited from other revolutionary organizations

in Russia, including the SR, who at the time practiced terrorism. There is evidence that Schiff in an interview with an official of the Ministry of Finance of Russia, G.A. Velankind, who was also one of his distant relatives, acknowledged that he contributed to the financing of the revolutionary movement in Russia and that things had gone too far to put an end to it. I think we could all agree at this point that without Jewish money and without Jewish participation, there wouldn't have been anything even remotely close. to a Soviet Union or a Russian revolution, whether or not World War I occurred. Schiff is one of these guys that proves that the revolutionary movement and the Zionist movement really weren't opposed. The only thing they did really was they emphasized different things. But in Russia, it was pretty clear that Marxism, less so anarchism, oddly enough.

But anarchism, to some extent, but Marxism was absolutely. Absolutely, an ethnic movement. I think even in the West, it was understood that way. I also find it interesting that wherever you go in Europe at the time, railroads were a very Jewish concern, no different than prostitution or alcohol. It was the same thing in Austria, Hungary with the Rothschild. They took a tremendous interest in rail. You know, it was essentially rewriting the entire topography of the country.

it was in and of itself revolutionary. But again, this shows you that the mythology that was pouring out of the media in Russia has actual real military, diplomatic, moral effects. Because the foreign policy of, I mean, this man was more powerful than some governments. it actually had a direct effect on how countries approached and dealt with Russia. I do want to mention that the loan of $200 million, well, you know, yes, he was loaning money to the Japanese. Russia was a creditor nation like it is now. But in military affairs, short-term loans were required. And they were paid off.

pretty quickly. So it isn't like Russia was indebted. It's almost the, today, it's almost the mirror image of the U.S. owns nothing. It's so deeply in debt. Russia has some of the, I think, has the greatest gold reserves on the planet. The U.S. has zero gold. There might be pieces of paper that represent gold. There's pieces of paper that say this gold belongs to Germany. And whenever Germany wants a piece of it, they can't send it back. That was an embarrassing story. So Russia was always an ability.

You know, Russia is one of the few countries then and now. That could be totally altarkic, completely self-sufficing, like a cat, and everything they need just in their very few countries could do that. Russia is one. So foreign trade, unless it was for the benefit of a small minority like we've been talking about in the past, isn't all that necessary. to it. But oil and gas is, well, a very small percentage of the Russian economy domestically, maybe 10%, 9%. It's much bigger as far as exports are concerned. And that was very much the same the same here. I said last time, a few times now, that we're in a situation where the Russian economy was doing very well. Peasant proprietors were the norm. The commune was very popular.

factory legislation. I mean, wages blew everyone else away. Taxes were very low. Everything was local. So, you know, and continuing to rise, population was rising. With the discovery of oil, of course, you know, that changed everything. But this is why it's so strange. How do you form a revolutionary movement when things are going very well? And this is, this was the Jewish puzzle. and all of this goes into

creating it without Japan there would have been no revolution of 1905 without World War I there would have been no 1917 and that's just one

one feature there were many other variables that they had to use you know I always wondered what Russia would look like had this stuff never happened and it's very depressing

to think about it would have been one of the world the world's dominant, dominant country, maybe China too. Russia was in such good shape, and yet if you read your typical textbook, I mean, I remember, I was lecturing on this for years and students say, you know, the book says that they were in terrible shape. This is the mythology that has to be created. Otherwise, the revolution doesn't make any sense. And if the revolution doesn't make any sense, someone has to explain that.

And no one really wants to explain that. However, in Russia, Baron Gio Ginsburg continued to intervene in favor of equal rights for the Jews. To this end, in 1903, he visited Vitt at the head of the Jewish delegation. The latter, who had already dealt with the Jewish question when he was Secretary General of the government, replied to them then that the Jews should be granted equal rights only gradually, but in order for the question to be raised, the Jews must adopt a completely different behavior. That is to say, to refrain from interfering in the political life of the country. It is not your business.

Leave it to those who are Russian by blood and civil status. It is not for you to give us lessons. You should rather take care of yourself. Which someone with power would stand up and say that today. Ginsburg, Schoeser agreed with this opinion. Other participants did not, particularly Winnever, who objected, the time has come to grant equal rights to all the subjects. The Jews must support with all their strength those are the Russians who fight for it

and thus against the power in place. But remember, equal rights is kind of a misleading. There are restrictions on many groups of the population, depending on what their function was. We all know we've been through the restrictions on the Jews, which were not enforced and why they weren't enforced, especially the percentages in universities and things like that, but even with that, they still became a very powerful financial aspect of the empire. Now, when you just read that line, it reminded me of Rabbi Weiss from Natura Carter, who had been a friend of mine for us.

I haven't spoken to him in a long time. You've gone demonstrations against Israel together. And he always started off by saying Jews should be politically neutral. in different countries, be the best neighbors they possibly can and not interfere, worry about themselves and not interfere with what goes on outside. That was always their position. So when I read this, it reminded me of that. There's very few, I'm sure there's other groups like that, that accept that point of view. Rabbi Weiss, one of his big arguments over the years, you know, the JDO burnt down his synagogue is that one of the reasons that Zionism is evil is that it requires Jews to take

over the foreign policy establishment of at least some of the great powers. Otherwise, it can't work. But beyond that, remember, political interference, well, that's terrorism. A lot of these guys are going to die because a Jewish organization is going to murder them. Again, they're creating a revolution out of nothing. And when you have terrorism, I mean, I don't know what the subconscious would be. There must be something wrong. There must be something I'm not seeing. A lot of that uncertainty, you know, terrorism has a, it really is a psychological form of warfare more than anything else. But as I said before, you had murder after murder after murder of bureaucrats, sometimes innocent people, by the leftist groups, as well as bank robberies, which was Stalin's big thing.

roughly around this time. A lot of people were getting shot. There were always attempts on the emperor, and Jews were at the core of all of that. From the Japanese war, from the beginning of 1904, the Russian government sought financial support from the West, and in order to obtain it, was willing to promise an extension of the rights of the Jews.

At Plev's request, high personalities came into contact with Baron Ginsburg on this. subject, and Sliusberg was sent abroad to survey the opinion of the greatest Jewish financiers. As a matter of principle, Schiff declined all bargaining over the number and nature of the rights granted to the Jews. He could enter into financial relations only with a government that recognizes to all its citizens the equality of civic and political rights. One can only maintain financial relations with civilized countries. In Paris, Baron de Rochalde also refused.

I am not prepared to mount any financial operation whatsoever, even if the Russian government brings improvements to the fate of the Jews. Vitt succeeded in obtaining a large loan without the help of Jewish financial circles. Meanwhile, in 2003 to 1904, the Russian government had undertaken to lift certain provisions limiting the rights of the Jews. We have already mentioned them in part. The first step in this direction, and the most important, had been during Plev's lifetime, and by way of derogation of the 1882 regulations, the lifting of the prohibition on Jews settling in 101 densely populated localities, which were not considered cities despite

significant industrial and commercial activity, particularly in the grain trade. Secondly, the decisions are to promote a group of Jews to the rank of a vote. avowed attorneys, which had not been done since 1889. After the assassination of Plev and the era of confidence inaugurated by the short-lived minister of the interior, Svizot-Polk-Mirski, the process continued. Thus, for Jews with higher education, the lifting of restrictive measures taken in 1882 took place, including the right to settle in areas previously prohibited to them, such as those of the army of Don of Kuban of Terek. The ban on residence in the border strip of 50 versts was also lifted. They reestablished the right abolished under Alexander II after 1874 to reside throughout the whole

territory of the empire for the brass of the army of Jewish origin would exemplary service records. On the occasion of the birth of the heir to the throne in 1904, amnesty was decreed on the fines, which would be fallen the Jews who had evaded their military obligations. Well, it hasn't come up in a while with all our shows, but the Jews functioned in Russia largely as a organized crime, a mafia organization. They evaded taxes. They had all these methods of getting around it. They refused to respond to the census. They were big into smuggling.

So many of the laws or restrictions were completely ignored, and the state wasn't capable of doing much about it. It's one of the reasons that there was such popular anger against the Jews because, well, if the state can't do it, then it's up to us to do it. Every one of these restrictions came after a policy trying to subsidize them and assist them went nowhere, and instead they thanked the country with violence and exploitation. So there's a reason that they were they were prohibited to live in certain places You know, they took over the alcohol trade they were revolutionaries They brought in prostitution. It's always the same list of crimes They were completely maccuvian in their competition Something that again even now Russians weren't used to and it wasn't part of the Russian mentality

and with amnesty, this is something that a monarchy can do. But, of course, in a republic they could never do because the republic is essentially an oligarchy. And to think that that fines and debt can be just wiped out because the state says so is almost inconceivable to us. But this is what happens when the state is more powerful or the crown is more powerful and more popular than the most powerful financial circles put together.

And, you know, the first sentence here, you know, they didn't need Jewish financial circles. But the very fact that Russia would even attempt it in this, you know, again, very short-term loans, they were a creditor nation, shows you that there was no war permitted without Jewish assistance. because obviously someone like Zorn Nicholas would rather not and his financial ministry would rather not go to Jewish banks but the financial war

they didn't have any choice and off the top of my head they went to Gentile sources and frankly the economy was in such good shape they probably simply could have

gone into debt and had that paid off in a very short time whether they really needed external loans but warfare had become so complex and so expensive at this point especially this war was so far away you know what like eight time zones away from from Moscow whatever it was

that going to the Jews at least at first was seen as a necessity no war was possible at the time without Jewish finance and there were very few alternatives to that an autarkic nation, something that Russia was building at the time. You saw it, you know, to some extent, the third right, too,

although Germany could never be an autarkic nation. They need too much from the outside. You know, we're in an era where foreign trade doesn't mean that much as far as the Russian economy is concerned. So, but this was at least they can do, the least negative thing. They were at war with Russia. They said they were at war with Russia. And as far as they were concerned, the revolutionary movement, the Japanese Navy, it's all the same thing.

And it's all based on these lies and these myths that the press was promoting. And to this day, it continues to promote about Russia, about the Tsar, but about Russia in general. But all these concessions came too late. In the note of the Japanese war that surrounded Russia, they were henceforth not accepted, as we have seen, neither by Western Jewish financiers nor by the majority of Jewish politicians in Russia, nor with strong reason by Jewish youth. And in response to statements made by Sviotipholk-Merski when he took office, promising relief in both the Pala settlement and the choice of an activity, a declaration of more than 6,000 people the signatures had been

collected by the Jewish Democratic group. We consider all efforts to satisfy, and appease the Jewish population by partial improvements in their condition as futile. We consider as null and void any policy of gradually lifting the prohibitions weighing on us. We are waiting for equal rights. We make of it a matter of honor and justice. It had become easier to weigh on a government entangled in war. It goes without saying that in a context in which cultivated Russian society had only contempt for power, it was difficult to expect Jewish youth to manifest massively its patriotic enthusiasm.

According to the data provided by General Khrupkin, the Minister of War, then Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Front, in 1904, the number of insubordinates among the Jewish conscripts doubled compared with the year in 1903. More than 20,000 of them have evaded their military obligations without good cause. Out of 1,000 conscripts, more than 300 were missing. among the Russian conscripts, this number fell to only two per 1,000. As for the Jewish reservists, they deserted en masse on the way to the area of military operations. I don't even know why the Defense Department even bothered. Who would be surprised by this?

Why even bring it up? I mean, they could have even used it as a bargaining chip. You know, it was almost dangerous to draft Jews. This problem wasn't the case with Muslims or Catholics in the empire. Not the case at all. Most of the Muslim groups were pretty loyal. You know, Crimeans being chief among them, but, you know, Islamic groups. But why even bother?

This is dangerous when an entire unit, you know, desserts, you know, they're going to support somebody else. You're talking about huge numbers during this war. A lot of people don't know much about it. I have a paper on it. I've mentioned. You know, at this stage, the Zionists were absolutely right. Russia should have made it, and it's easy to say this all these years later, but in all the Russo-Turkic wars, Russia really defeated them badly. You know, there should have been some kind of population transfer, some kind of Havara agreement, you know, for lack of a better phrase.

because they were nothing but a problem in Russian society and clearly the Russian military. Why they bothered drafting Jews is a mystery. An American statistics suggest indirectly that from the beginning of the Japanese war, there was a wave of mass emigration of Jews in military service age. During the two years of war, the figures for Jewish immigration of the United States increased very sharply for people of working age, 14 to 44 years, and men. The former were 29,000 more than what they were expected compared to other immigrant categories. The second, 28,000 more compared to women.

After the war, the usual proportions were found. The Kievan newspaper reported at the time that from 20,000 to 30,000 Jewish soldiers and reservists had gone into hiding or fled abroad. In the article, military service in Russia of the Jewish Encyclopedia, we could see a comparative picture of insubordination among Jews and Christians, according to official figures, the proportion of the former compared with the latter is 30 to 1 in 1902 and 34 to 1 in 1903. The Jewish Encyclopedia indicates that these figures can also be explained by emigration, deaths not taken into account, or miscalculations. But the inexplicable absence in this table of statistical data for 1904 to 1905 leaves no

possibility of obtaining a precise idea of the extent of the insubordination during the war. As for the Jewish fighters, the Jewish Encyclopedia says that there were between 20 and 30,000 during the war, not to mention the 3,000 Jews serving as doctors. And it points out that even the newspaper, Nueve Vremia, although hostile to the Jews, recognized their courageous behavior in combat. These statements are corroborated by the testimony of General Denneken. in the Russian army, the Jewish soldiers resourceful and conscientious adapted well, even in times of peace. But in times of war, all differences were self-effacing, and individual courage and intelligence were also recognized.

A historical fact, the heroism of Yosov Trumpledor, who, having lost a hand, asked to remain in the ranks. In fact, he was not the only one to distinguish himself. You figure that group of Jews, which I think is probably a minority in this case, who didn't desert were very different in terms of their mentality and how they view themselves as compared to the Jews who did desert. Clearly, if you're willing to fight for Russia at this level of bravery, and of course that bravery was found all over the place, he said the same thing about Muslims, but these people may not have been self-conscious Jews.

They may have been more Russian in their mentality. There's always a minority. Yeah, clearly they had to speak the language, you know, if they're going to be in the army. It was like there were separate units. But I think these were fairly small in number. But the Jews that were willing to fight were not exactly the Jews that were throwing bombs at the emperor. Even though they were a minority, you still had some of them. And, and De Nican, of course, who was one of the chiefs of the White Army, you know, mentioned this more than once.

He said the same thing about Islam. You know, so, but that's, you know, the big issue is that minority of Jews clearly, you know, must skip school during the Talmud lessons. At the end of this war lost by Russia, President Theodore Roosevelt agreed to mediate talks with Japan. Vita, who led the Russian delegation, evokes this delegation of Jewish big shots who came to see me twice in America to talk to me about the Jewish question. These were Jacob Schiff, the eminent lawyer, Lewis Marshall, and Oscar Strauss, among others. The position of Russia had become rather uncomfortable, which imposed a more conciliatory tone on the Russian minister than in 1903. Vita's arguments raised violent objections on the part of Schiff. Fifteen years later, Krauss, one of the members of this delegation, who in 1920 became president of the B'nai Breith Lodge, said,

if the Tsar does not give his people the freedoms to which it is entitled, the revolution will be able to establish a republic that will allow access to these freedoms. I know I've said this before, but it was not an unequivocal defeat for the Russian Empire. I say this for a bunch of reasons. The main reason that Russia had to pull out largely was the revolution itself. the revolution was fed by mythical stories about, you know, Russian humiliation. At this point, and I don't know how

Theodore Roosevelt could have ever been a mediator. He was so anti-Russian to begin with at the Portsmouth talks, but Japan was on its last legs. They were the same very much in terms of losses, you know, casualties in general. But Russia was not exhausted. Japan was absolutely exhausted. I said last time that one of the commanders committed Hattuckiti because he lost the war.

It was not seen, and there was some civil unrest in Japan, because it was not seen as a victory in Japan. But unfortunately, the revolution is what forced the emperor to pull men back, and then the Americans came in. And even the treaty itself was not at all humiliating for Russia. They both got concessions, things that they wanted. The goals of the war, as far as the Japanese, were concerned, were not met. And most people would face a total defeat for Russia. Same thing for Crimea. In neither case is that true.

During the same weeks, a new danger began to undermine Russian-American relations. On his way back to Vita, T. Roosevelt asked him to inform the emperor that the trade agreement, which had long-bound 1832, his country to Russia, would suffer. if it applied confessional restrictions to American businessmen going to its territory. This protest, which, of course, was a matter of principle, concerned in practice a significant number of Russian Jews who had emigrated to the United States and had become American citizens. They returned to Russia, often to engage in revolutionary activities, henceforth as merchants who were not subject to any professional or geographical limitation.

This landmine could only explode a few years later. For several years, Stuttgart had published Oswebogne magazine and the great mass of cultivated Russians scarcely concealed its sympathies for the illegal organization Union for Liberation. In the autumn of 1904, a banqueting campaign was held in all the major cities of Russia, where impassioned and premonitory toast were called for the overthrow of the regime. Participants from abroad also spoke in public, such as town bornebors. Bogoros. Bogoros.

The Japanese war was really a gift as far as the revolutionaries were concerned. You know, the media, who wasn't even there most of the time, was very difficult to get out there, was just writing whatever. You know, they were writing articles before a battle would occur. And as I've said before, there's nothing that hurts a government like a lost war. it delegitimizes almost everything that they do. But here we have a situation where a tough guy, Theodore Roosevelt, demands that Russia permit these emigres to go back to Russia. They weren't businessmen.

I don't know how to the extent he was aware of that, he probably was, to go in and continue to form their revolutionary circles. Or they're going to be trade restrictions. That's a that you know this absurdity that you know so much of of Jewish power came from outside both Britain and and the US now Russia really didn't need a lot of this trade especially in the grain trade because they were the US and the US and Russia fed the world at the time um depending on on harvest and everything but uh you know these they emigrated for a reason and they were forced, you know, to go back.

They were leftists. They caused nothing but trouble. And, you know, can you imagine having an enemy, you know, you're forced to live with an enemy because someone says you're going to lose your job if you don't. And this is the absurdity of the takeover, the Jewish power in both London, Washington. Political unrest had penetrated all layers of the Jewish community. The latter was engulfed in this bubbling without distinction of classes or parties. Thus, many Jewish public men, even of patriotic sensibility, were part of the Union for Liberation.

Like all Russian liberals, they proved to be defeatist during the Japanese war. Like them, they applauded the executions of the ministers Bogolipov, Scipiagin, and Plev. And this entire progressive Russia pushed even the Jews in this direction, unable to admit that a Jew could be more on the right than a left-wing Democrat, but feeling that he should, more naturally yet, be a socialist. A conservative Jew, ugh. Even in an academic institution, such as the Jewish Historical Ethnographic Commission, in these tumultuous years, there was no time to serenely engage in scientific research. It was necessary to make history. The radical and revolutionary movements within the Russian Jewish community have always been based on the idea that the

problem of equal rights. The fundamental historical question of the Jews of Russia would be solved only when one could cut once for all the head of the Medusa and all the serpents that spring from it. During these years in St. Petersburg, the Jewish Defense Office developed its activities with the aim of fighting anti-Semitic literature and disseminating appropriate information on the legal situation of Jews in order to influence mainly the opinion of liberal Russian circles. Slaesberg points out that these activities were largely subsidized by the international EK-Zero. But it was not so much Russian society that it was a question of influencing. The Bureau did not open branches in Russia, not even in Moscow-Kiever-Rodessa.

On the one hand, Zionist propaganda absorbed all the energy of the most cultivated youths. On the other, Bund propaganda mobilized a greater part of the educated youth. Sliusberg insisting that the Bund be condemned, whenever objected that he should not quarrel with the Bund, it disposes of energy and propaganda power. However, the Bureau soon maintained a strong relationship built on reciprocal information and mutual aid with the American Jewish Committee, chaired by Jacob Schiff, then Louis Marshall, the English Jewish Committee, Claude Montefiore, Lucene Wolfe, the Alliance in Paris and the Support Committee of the German Jews, James Simon and Paul Nathan.

This is very, it's extremely depressing. Can you imagine today, in today's Tel Aviv that wealthy Orthodox people open up a Christian defense office that regularly attacks the government and takes the government to court for various anti-Christian measures, you know, Christian Palestinians or whatever. Can you imagine that actually existing and functioning? It's almost inconceivable. It's strange that Zionists, you know, you figure that the ultimate goal of Zionists is to leave the country, and yet they still wanted to leave behind a revolutionary government in

Russia, the destruction of the monarchy. So now you had Zionists and socialist, essentially being one and the same. And I guess that means that once they go to Palestine, they're going to have a very sympathetic government to finance them, which is exactly what happened, because, you know, the Stalin government is what first recognized and financed Israel in 1948. It's where their weapons came from, to where most of their people came from. But this, when I talk about the network, the web of Jewish power, this is exactly what I'm talking about. These guys were forcing a revolution.

We all know what equal rights really meant in practice. It meant utter Jewish domination. These Jewish organizations were killing minister after minister after minister. Bombs were going off all over the place. the press was completely controlled except by a couple there were some right-wing publications your average Russian was at least very confused about about what was going on this is why the great saints like John of Kronstadt roughly around this time you know went to nationalism went to the black hundreds and and said this is you know you

have to fight for for Russia no one else is doing it the monarchy never grasped the concept of propaganda. That was a Jewish thing, it was a Bolivic thing, and they were absolutely diabolically genius when it came to propaganda. Here is the testimony of M. Kroll. The heart of our group was the press office, whose mission was to disseminate

through the Russian and foreign press serious information about the situation of the Jews in Russia. It was AI Brodo who undertook this task. He accomplished it perfectly. Under the conditions of the Russia at that time, This kind of work required a great deal of prudence, was to be carried out in the greatest secrecy. Even the members of the defense office did not know by what means or by what channels he had succeeded in organizing such and such a press campaign.

A large number of articles published in the Russian or foreign press at the time, often with great repercussions, have been communicated to the newspapers or magazines, either personally by Brotto or through his intermediary. providing serious information to launch this or that press campaign, it is a bit chilling, especially in light of what happened in the 20th century. In today's language, it is called skillful manipulation of the media. In March 1905, the Defense Bureau convened in Vilnius the constituent Congress of the Union for the Equal Rights for the Jewish People in Russia, but it quickly proceeded to its self-dissolution and join the direction of the union for the integrality of rights, the expression, integrality, because it was stronger than that of equal rights,

had been proposed by Winnever. Today, we evoke it under a hybrid form, such as the union for achieving integral equality of rights. The upshot so far in Sultan Eaton's mind is that it was Judaism as a whole, not a faction, not a group, not a fringe element, but Judaism as a whole in Russia was the revolutionary movement. We talked about where the Western press is getting the nonsense from, well, here's the answer. Again, can you imagine in Tel Aviv having an orthodox of thing,

sending crazy articles to different countries around the world, to the Syrians, say, or the Iranians. And yet that was tolerated here for the most part. To say that Russia at the time was some sort of a tyranny, it is absurd, absolutely absurd. They were still punishing people by sending them into exile rather than any kind of prison. And the reason why equal rights simply meant that the Jewish bankers can absolutely dominate the currency and undersell everybody in Russia because they had this. network of power. They always had access to liquidity. They could always undersell, whether it be money or anything else that they're selling, the Gentiles. This was the problem, but beyond all

that, because Judaism as a whole now hated Russia, what would a Russian government do, especially after everything that we've talked about, since we started here, the Russian government was well aware of what the Jews were, and yet, you know, trying to settle them on the land, all the stuff we talked about, all these subsidies, and they didn't work, they hate the Gentiles so much. Yeah, it's putting the state in an awful position. The state couldn't take action against a revolutionary movement because it was being pushed by the capitalist. That's why one of the reasons Marxism is so absurd, because it was a capitalist who created all this. Capitalists built the Soviet Union. It wasn't a threat to them. The same people who, you know, same Jews especially,

who dominated the mines dominated the minds after Lennon took over and they were considered proletarians, could you believe that? These words didn't mean anything. Capitalist powers forced this on Russia.

And again, it's easy to talk a hundred years ago, you know, like we could have known that at the time. But altarky, being completely self-sufficing, this should have been the policy. Jews should have been resettled

in within the Turkish Empire under, and I'm sure some deal could have been worked out. The black hundreds had that as their position. A lot of anti-Jewish groups in Europe had that as their position, like the Havara Agreement, you know, just one out of many. So, you know, this was forced on Russia by the capitalist powers. It was wanted that this new union brings together all Jewish parties and groups, but the Bund announced this Congress as a bourgeois,

However, many Zionists could not remain in their splendid isolation. The projones of the Russian Revolution led to a split in their ranks. And some of these factions did not resist the temptation or participate in the great things that unfolded before their eyes. But in so doing, they exerted an influence on the strictly civic orientation of the Congress agenda. The idea was making its way not only to fight for civic rights, but also with the same energy for national rights. Sliusberg fought against the influence of the Zionists who wanted to withdraw the Jews from the number of citizens of Russia and whose demands were often formulated only for demagogic reasons. For the Jewish community in Russia has in no way been limited in the

expression of its national life. Was it appropriate to raise the question of national autonomy of the Jews when none of the nationalities living in Russia possessed it, whereas the Russian people themselves in their Orthodox part were far from being in the expression of their religious and national life. But at that time, demagogu Kyi assumed a very special significance in the Jewish backstreet. I don't know what Jewish backstreet means. I guess it means the broader population. But I'm willing to say at this point that the biggest problem of the elite Jewish financiers, Rothschiff, and 10 million others, is that Russia was the only major empire

that had a fully state run well they didn't have a central bank they had finance ministers and it was fully state run they weren't Jews weren't permitted to control the currency at any level whatsoever we know what was going on

I'm not sure Germany that may be an exception of the top of my head I don't I don't know although Jews were extremely financially powerful there. Russia was at least one of the few remaining powers that refused to let the banks take over their currency,

and hence their economic and fiscal life. And I think maybe that's really what's behind this equal rights nonsense. Thus, in place of the notion, clear in the eyes of everyone, of equality of rights, which certainly had not yet happened, but seemed no longer to lag behind, political developments, the slogan was issued for the integrality of rights of the Jews. What was meant by this was that, in addition to equal rights, national autonomy was also recognized. It must be said that those who formulated these requirements did not have a very clear idea of their content. The creation of Jewish schools was not limited by any law. The study of the Russian

language was required insofar as it was not a question of haters. But other more civilized countries also imposed the use of state language and relations with the administration as well as in schools. Thus, there was no national autonomy for Jews in the United States, but the obtentionists' union for the obtentioned demanded national and cultural self-determination on the territory of Russia, as well as a substantial autonomy for the Jewish communities, and in the same breadth the secularization of these to tear them away from the religious influence of Judaism, which suited both the Zionists and socialists. Later, this was called national personal autonomy,

accompanied by the requirement that the Jewish cultural and social institutions be financed by the state but without it interfering in their functioning. And how can we imagine the self-management of a nation scattered territorially? The Second Congress of the Union in November 1905 took the decision to convene a Jewish National Assembly of Russia, What number is that? Is that 15? The 15th Assembly about this?

Oh, oh, at least. At least. And that's just at the national level. Yet again, you know, and of course, in each time, the, there are more and more Jews and phylo-Semites on it. So they get less and less useful. Therezavin was right then, and he was right in 1905, and he's right to that. and he's right today. But when I first, I read this in the original, I think, a long time ago.

And I had to read this paragraph like three times. There was so much here. The arrogance. They wanted a state subsidized, autonomous state within Russia. And sometimes, I think my thought at the time was, is this what the Zionist? We're talking about. Maybe the concept of going to Palestine maybe in the future. But could you be a Zionist but just saying that, you know, it wouldn't be on the old territory,

what they claim is the old territory of the Middle East, but building their own Zion in Russia. Because that was, you know, the new Khazadia idea, was centered on that. That's what Zionism should be, the Khazar Empire, based on the resurrection. and Rabbi Schneerson and all this nonsense that they promoted, that the Ukrainian Jews promoted, the oligroth. To some extent, I'm wondering, is this what they were talking about? And when you have a state, an autonomous state, you had military, you had your own banks,

not speaking Russian, of course. They wanted an enemy camp financed by Petersburg within Russia, near where the old pale of settlement was, which is a little bizarre on the Black Sea where Khazaria used to be. Of course, no other group was asking for this. No other group had this.

And it's just this is what they meant by equal rights. This is precisely what they meant. And I'm sympathetic to some extent of the non-territorial, especially in a country like the U.S. where you have ethnic groups spread everywhere. It might be a problem in practice, but in theory, I don't mind it.

But this was a, you know, the fact that they demanded subsidies for it, while also demanding that the Russian government have no say in how it's run, given everything that's happened, this would have been a violent, well-armed enemy camp with ties to Britain and the U.S., the biggest banks in the world, right in the heart of South Russia. This is what equality of rights meant. All the other stuff is just rhetoric. And I'm pretty sure you're not going to find this in your typical survey history of Russia in this era.

This is what equal rights meant. And to some extent, this is what Zionism meant. All these ideas, including the national personal autonomy of the Jews of Russia, were expressed and continued in various forms until 1917. However, the Union for the Integrality of Rights proved ephemeral. At the end of 1906, the Jewish people's anti-Zionist group seceded. Winnevers Leosburg-Kulisher Sternberg on the grounds that it refused the idea of a Jewish National Assembly. Shortly afterwards, it was a turn of the Jewish People's Party,

S. Dubnov, religious and cultural nationalism, notably the right to use a Jewish language and public life throughout the country, but with what means how. Then the Jewish Democratic group, Bramson Landau, close to the Labor Party. The Union for the Integrality of Rights was also accused of having rallied to the KD, and consequently, was no longer being able to represent the Jewish population of Russia. The Zionists regarded the secularists as partisans of assimilation and the socialists as bourgeois. In short, at the beginning of 1907, the union ceased to exist. Well, the union may have gone out of existence, but the idea absolutely remained. These divisions were not fundamental ones. They were a matter of, you know, various details of policy, maybe personality.

But this was the mentality of Jews at the time. okay, if we can't take over the government, we're just going to create our own. I still can't get over. The pomposity, the arrogance. They loathe Gentiles to such an extreme degree. That KD, of course, is a liberal so-called cadet party. When the Duma was established, they got a lot of seats there. That you can't even connect with them because they're unclean.

Again, I have no idea what they mean by assimilation or secularist or anything else, but these were not fundamental divisions. I think we should end here only because there's something very new in the next paragraph. But every time I read this, my head is just, I'm just reeling. And no one knows this. No one knows these demands. everyone says you talk about in a university classroom. I've heard it myself. Equal rights for Jews.

Oh, my God, they didn't have equal rights with everybody. Oh, they had Jim Crow laws or something. You know, all these poor people. I watch Seinfeld. They're the funniest people on. You know, but, of course, that has no bearing on anything. The definition, how people use words, the definitions of these, especially for a very deceitful mafia,

group like the Jews in Russia at the time, there's always double meanings and triple meanings. Just like, no different than any Gnostic sect, Freemasonry or anything else. And Freemasonry being, you know, essentially Judaism for non-Jews, was doing its work within certain levels of the Russian wealthy. Not all of them, but some of them, especially in St. Petersburg.

The city itself was a Gnostic, experiment. And, you know, this is, this is just, the whole thing is so extraordinary. By Jewish language, I'm pretty sure they mean Yiddish. I don't think anyone spoke. Hebrew at the time, maybe there were some in Jerusalem who did. Not 100% sure. But, but you have a, you've had, since the mythology about the Kishina of program, you have a massive shift in the Jewish mentality.

They're able to say in public what they've always said in private. Yeah, the Kahala's gone, but these type of organizations have replaced it. And it's something I don't think that a normie hearing this for the first time could absorb it. I might as well be speaking Bulgarian to them. We try to explain this to somebody. Professor of history will not comprehend. It wouldn't penetrate. But that's what they meant by equal rights.

If you go back to page 211, the first sentence that during these years in St. Petersburg, the Jewish Defense Office developed its activities with the aim of fighting anti-Semitic literature and disseminating appropriate information on the legal situation in Jews in order to influence mainly the opinion of liberal Russian circles. This is basically the same thing we have today, except it's what they're trying to, their influence is in, quote-unquote, conservative American circles. They're doing the same thing over and over again. This always happens.

And, well, unfortunately, this time, they were able to take over the country and punish everybody who, you know, they thought did them wrong. And you just have to wonder, you know, if they get their way now, what happens? I mean, they have nukes. And they're willing to incinerate babies. Sure. Absolutely they are. Yeah. We're, you know, what are we up against now? You know, and these are just questions because you look at history and it's like, okay, they did this and this is what happened,

you know, tens of millions dead, which seems to be some kind of, you know, there was an ethnic animosity component to it. Well, what's happening now when they have much more political power and wealth? Well, what do we do? When it comes to Western journalists and academics, the one thing that they can't do, the one quality that they can't have is the ability to recognize patterns. You know, color revolutions say it's the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. And they're not, you know, they can't see patterns. They live in a world of cognitive dissonance.

nothing makes someone sounds an intelligent person sounds stupid than special pleading trying to make exceptions well you know trying to explain all this away um usually it's just name calling and censorship but this is at the heart of the russian empire the orthodox russian empire in 1905 they're doing it um you know uh there's a reason that they were you know considered antichrist the forbearers of of antichrist um These were violent, whether it be Zionists or other ones. These were violent cults. And yes, you're right. I want to say it again. Zionists in Israel incinerate babies. When they deliberately attacked all the hospitals in the south of Beirut last year in their invasion of Lebanon,

when they attacked all the medical tents of the United Nations, UNI, FIL interim in Lebanon. I forget what it stands for, but deliberately killing UN people, deliberately going after their, yeah, this is what they're capable of. And this is what normal people couldn't do that. But when you were raised with the Talmudic mentality, that now, apparently, they could say openly, but I'm thinking I can't believe back then they were, they were,

and they weren't going to come out and say we're going to incinerate babies, but they did. And then they projected that onto the Germans. They projected that onto South Africans. They projected that onto whoever they hated at the moment. So there's always a psychological component that is. But yes, it is terrifying. And the power, the technology, the weaponry is different, but the arrogance is identical. Yeah, there's a Senator Randy.

I believe his name is Randy Fine in from Florida who Trump appointed to fill one of the vacant seats there. I think Marco Rubio's seat maybe. I don't know. I can't remember. This guy has actually been on tape before on on video saying we Jews have been kicked out of every country we've ever been in. Somebody on Twitter showed him a, you know, posted a picture of a, you know, a torn apart baby.

and, you know, said, how does this make you feel? And he says, well, we need more of those. No. I mean, that's all I need to hear. Was that a project Veritas thing? Did Project Veritas thing? No, no. No, this was just wide open.

This is just wide open. I mean, they'll, I got Senator Don Bacon from Nebraska, some guy who, um, has taken over a million dollars from APAC. I mean, a senator, not a. Senator, a congressman from Nebraska that no one's ever heard of, Don Bacon from Nebraska. I got him to, I asked him the question. I said, here's a hypothetical, Congressman. One of these two countries doesn't exist anymore. Israel or the United States choose. And he said, read the book of revelation and get back to me. Yeah, that says a lot more. If you would have just said Israel, it would have been less impactful than that.

And of course, Protestant evangelicals, the core of Israeli power, at least in the U.S., much couldn't happen. And unfortunately, Trump has fallen under their spell. He's kind of backed off Iran a little bit. But, you know, what they did to the average, you know, when the Mossad, CIA overthrows these governments, say in Libya or Syria, they're well aware what's going to happen. they're well aware that their militias are going to take over and annihilate whole areas. That was the point to render these countries impoverished and uncertain. Because prior to that, they were doing very well. Syria, Libya, on the verge of becoming first world countries at the time the wars broke out.

Iran has been a first world country for a long time. Of course, it's never been colonized. And that's the threat, not military power, because they're connected. But they need the world impoverished. And they like, you know, Spartans on the city on the hill looking down on everybody. The biggest disappointment in the Trump phenomenon has been the obsession with Israel. What he said about Gaza, I know with early this year about, you know, wiping them out and then selling comments. condos there very flippantly offhandedly it you know um and and you know i always thought that

Donald trump knew the jews from the inside very well because he came of a i mean he made his money in new york city real estate the only gentile to really do that very well in recent years he has to know the jews they were their competition and yet i don't know if he thinks that they're that they're going to like him and the media's going to back off clearly that hasn't been the case it's it's grotesque but that one line you said they're willing to incinerate babies um is is the core of all of this then and now very very different group of people than uh than anyone else yeah you know the um if you read uh ariel toff's book i'm sure you know the one i'm talking about yeah yeah they will yep i did a show on it yeah they

will scream that that is fiction, that none of this ever happened and everything. And I just look at the way they treat babies now, and I'm like, the way they treat children now, and I'm like, oh, really? Huh. So just because now you can do it at a distance or from 10,000 feet. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Well, I'm shocked that Toaf's book was able to even get published. So it blew my mind. It's a great book. Highly recommended. All right, everyone, please go over to the show notes and go to the videos and click on the links and donate to Dr. Johnson. Keep him not working, keep him studying so that he can keep educating us, please. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

Talk to you in a few days. All right, ma'am. I want to welcome everyone back to part 37 of our reading of 200 years together by Alexander Solzheny. and Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today? I've been listening to a lot of Frank Zappa. I don't know if that answers your question or not. I don't even know if that's a good or a bad thing. That's a good thing, right?

Especially the older stuff. I'm not even a guitar player. That was a drummer for years and years. Anyway, how are you doing? I'm doing good. Doing good. Just recovering from a conference this past weekend. It was good.

We had a lot of fun there. We had good serious talks about serious things. That's about all I can reveal publicly. All right, let's get going. Even I don't know. Even I don't know what he's talking about. So he hasn't revealed it to me. I don't know what they're going.

We'll talk off there. All right. Pick it up page 212. Here we go. The Zionists were increasingly drawn into the revolutionary whirlpool, and in November in 2006, at their all-Russian conference in Helsenforce, it was declared indispensable and not only to turn to the daily needs and demands of the Jews of Russia, but also to engage fully in their political and social struggle.

Jabotinsky insisted that the Zionist program should include the requirement of the establishment in Russia of the sovereignty of the people. DePasmanic objected that such a demand can only be made by those who are ready to stand on the barricades. At the end of its work, the Congress brought its sanction to the rallying of the Zionists to the liberation movement. But the latter was just about to lose momentum after the failing of Viborg's manifesto. The author of this... I want to have... Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. I'll talk to you afterwards.

The author of this program, Jabotinsky, put forward the following arguments. The goal set by Zionism can only be reached in several decades, but by fighting for their full rights, Jews will understand better what Zionism is. However, he said, we leave the first ranks to the representatives of the majority nation. We cannot pretend to play a leading role. We are aligning ourselves. In other words, Palestine is one thing. In the meantime, let us fight in Russia.

Three years earlier, Plev had done. told Herzl that he feared precisely this kind of drift of Zionism. Yeah, this, you know, Zionism, of course it had a lot to do. Yeah, the main goal was, well, where so-called Israel is now. I think there was a lot more to it. But if you're going to be leaving anyway and somehow, you know, at the time, talking the Turkish government into it, because we know what happened years later, of course they couldn't leave immediately but if you're heading out you don't have a whole lot of incentive to to work locally

and that's that's besides the ideological distinction between communists on the one side and nationalists on the other as we said before you know people like um moses hess and others a bridge that gap a long time ago because no matter how you slice it, a viable Zionist entity has to have its people in at least some of the great powers having great influence in money to ensure a

sympathetic a sympathetic global point of view media or otherwise. And I guess to a great extent, you know, the original Zionists were established by a Stalin, were you had you were

you know socialists it wasn't it wasn't that long ago they took the portraits of Stalin down from the kibbutzim and everything else of course they weren't doing a lot of the work the Arabs the Arabs were their orange grows and everything else

on paper it sounds like Zionists and communists would be opposed but since communism was such a Jewish ethnic movement at the time especially in the early 20th century, those two ended up merging together. But you definitely had, it was more of a difference of emphasis

rather than any kind of fundamental disagreement. Sliusberg is far from minimizing the role of the Zionists. After the Congress of Helsenforz, they decided to take control of all public activities of the Jews by trying to impose their influence at the local level. In the first Duma of the 12 Jewish deputies, these five were Zionists. But he also knows that this profusion of parties was the business of small circles of

intellectuals, not of the Jewish masses, and their propaganda only caused to confuse the issues. True, all this scattering did not contribute to the clarification of the debate. It was no longer clear what the Russian Jews were fighting for what rights, equal or integral, or on which plan, civic or national. And let us not forget, all these groups composed only of intellectuals did not understand Orthodox Jews who eventually understood the needs organized to combat the growing anti-religious influence exerting itself on Jewish youth. And it was thus that was born what was later to develop in Taugud Israel.

This movement was concerned with Jewish revolutionary elements are recruited among the Jewish youth who have moved away from religion, whereas the majority of Jews are religious, and while demanding recognition of their rights and the lifting of the prohibitions against them, remain loyal subjects to the emperor and are far from any idea of overthrowing the existing regime. I think back then you had those kind of groups, something along the lines of Natura Qaeda today, so many of the old Orthodox Jews are opposed to Zionism. and that was made clear to me. Not all of them,

but the big ones in upstate New York tend to oppose Israel. The media doesn't like to talk about that very much. You know, they don't like to see these divisions. Chabad is a different story, of course. They are. And I'm not 100% sure what they mean by religious. I mean, you know, so many of these Jews

were part of movements that were materialistic. and atheist, and I have the feeling that religious means hanging on to the symbols of the ethnic group more than any belief in God, especially if they're promoting the Kabbalah, where God is essentially the unformed, the enslave. When they say religious, it's not like when we say religious. But I said this before, but the last time I spoke to Rabbi Weiss at Natura Carter, he said, the true Orthodox position Jewish Orthodox position is that we have to be loyal to whatever country we're in, keep to ourselves, and be the best neighbors we possibly can be, which is completely opposed to everything your typical Jew has become,

or it really always was. I think they kind of live it, those guys, and there's a lot of rabbis, but they're a tiny minority of, I guess they're still up in Muncie, New York. far away from New York City. So that's the only. I don't know if they were pro or anti-Zionist. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the Hasidic Jews were opposed to Zionism, because technically that's not supposed to be created until the Messiah comes, which would then give Israel a Jew's total power over the planet.

And so leaving someone behind wouldn't be, the planet. The planet would be theirs. Yeah, they may be a center in Jerusalem for them, but that's essentially what the Messiah means. It would be a global thing, and he would sit in Jerusalem. But until that happens, many of the old Orthodox say that Zionism is a non-religious, purely secular movement, an ethno-nationalist movement. And as we've talked about before, the Orthodox in Jerusalem, who were there before the establishment

of Israel, and what nothing to do with it. I mean, except for the welfare payments because they're all on welfare. The so-called Talmud students, they do nothing else. They don't work. Like the settlers don't work either.

They receive welfare payments. But if you remember, the draft riots, there's still a lot of issue about the Israeli draft. So it's not just, you know, not just the Russians that they had a problem with being drafted. The Israeli draft, they protest. I had a Jewish professor a years ago

when I was at Nebraska saying that those who have been exempt from the draft in the 70s is something like 5% of the Jewish population because of their population growth by 1995 it was something like 15, almost 20% of the population and the IDF which is always short of manpower noticed that and that's where this whole thing got started. Your typical Zionist doesn't like these people in Jerusalem. And I just

wonder if these are the same types, and at the time, as far as I know, these Hasidic Jews in Jerusalem before 1948 didn't really have a lot of problems with the Arabs around them. I think there was conflict, but nothing like you had starting with the establishment of Israel. So I understand this, you know, I picture this as a kind of an Hasidic movement. and I believe that they had a problem with this entire thing, but who did they speak for? I think they spoke for a few more Jews back then than they do now. Natura Carta is the only Hasidic group that says what it's like this.

And if you remember, they went to Iran for the Holocaust revisionist conference. They don't buy that nonsense either, which people forget about. And that's what got their synagogue burned down at Muncie. So, and that's why, that's where I became friends with some of them. And they always treated me very well. So I have the feeling that's what's going on here as far as the Luddhout Israel or where the heck it is. When one studies the history of Russian Jews at the beginning of the 20th century, there are a few references to Orthodox Jews. Sleisberg once said, racing the ire of the Bund, with the Malamids, behind me, I rely on a great

number of Jews than the Bund leaders, for there are more Malamaz among the Jews than the workers. In fact, the secularization of Jewish society in no way affected the existence of traditional communities in the Palis settlement. For them, all the ancestral questions concerning the organization of their lives or religious instruction, the rabbinit, remained topical. During the temporary lull in 1909, the reform of the traditional Jewish community was discussed with great seriousness at the Kovna Konfras, the work of the Congress, The work of the Congress proved to be very fruitful, and few Jewish assemblies could have equaled it by the seriousness and wisdom of the resolutions adopted there. Orthodox Judaism has always been in conflict, not always open, but rather latent, with the Jewish intelligentsia.

It was clear that in condemning the movement for the liberation of the Jews had hoped to win the government's favor. But it was too late. On the eve of the 1905 revolution, we have seen that the autocratic regime had lost control of the country. As for traditional Judaism, it had already lost a whole generation. Moreover, it was not the first, who had gone towards Zionism, secularism, rarely enlightened conservatism, and also, and with the heaviest consequences, towards the revolutionary movement. Saying that in this period that the monarchy had lost control of the country is an exaggeration, probably in a couple of cities,

because of the penetration, the Jewish penetration of the labor union, and everything else we talked about with their view of the proletariat and all that and all the rumors that were floating around was very easy to spread rumors. The Jewish press and the mainstream press

owned by Jews were not censored, generally speaking, were very good at lying as we've talked about before. They needed to create this mythology to maintain a unified front

against the monarchy. But the Russo-Japanese war wasn't enough. they needed something bigger. The new generation of revolutionaries had emerged at the turn of the century. Its leaders, Gregori Gershuni and Michael Gautz, had decided to revive the terrorist methods of the will of the people. Gershune took upon himself the heavy responsibility of creating in Russia a new revolutionary

party called to succeed with dignity to the will of the people and, thanks to his talents as organizer, as well as to those of other revolutionaries entirely devoted to the cause this party was born at the end of the year in 1901. At the same time was also constituted its armed faction. Its creator and its inspirer was none other than the very same Gershuni. Among the SR, the Jews immediately played a leading role. Among them were Rappaport, Jitlovsky, Minor, Rubinovich, and still, and still, Mark Natenson. The armed faction included among its members Gaut's brilliant Zilberberg, not to mention the famous Azif. It is among the SR that M. Tristler was also formed. He who later would become famous in the Cheka.

Among the grassroots activists of the SR party, there were also quite a few Jews, even though, ad Shub, they never represented a tiny minority. According to him, it is even the most Russian of the revolutionary parties. For security reasons, the seat of the party was transferred abroad. For example, the Bund was absent in Geneva at M. Goetz and O Miner's place. The Bund was the socialist revolutionary foundation, at least as far as the 20th century is concerned. The Bolsheviks were a schism from them, heavily Jewish. But what the monarchy was facing, starting in 1901, something that Alexander the third had crushed was a small but very well-funded, motivated terrorist group within its borders,

getting their weaponry from abroad through smuggling, no doubt through British, with British assistance. And as I've said before, they've killed, I forget the total number before the revolution, but it's something like 2,500 murders, assassinations of everything from high level, bureaucrats to the lowest level policemen on the beat in the big cities. And that's what they had to deal with. As for Gershuni, the indomitable tiger, after succeeding and deceiving Zubatov's vigilance, he began to crisscross Russia, like B. Savankov, fomenting terrorist attacks and checking their proper execution. It was thus that he was present at the place St. Isaac during the assassination

of Scipiagen. He was at Ufa. when Governor Bogdanovich was killed, and at Karkoff when it was Governor Obolensky's turn, on the Nevsky prospect during the failed attack on Poba de Nessev. The executive was also entrusted to Christians such as P. Karpavich, S. Mokov, and E. S. Zayrzanov, etc. The bombs used for assassination of Plev, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, and planned attacks on Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich and Interior Ministers, Bulgin and Dernival, were made by Maximilian Schweitzer, who in 1905 was himself victim of the machine he was making.

Arrested by chance, Gershouni was condemned to death. Reprieved by the emperor without having asked for it, in 1907, he found an ingenious means of escaping from the prison at Akutusk, hiding in a cabbage barrel and then gained by way by Vladivostok, America, and Europe. The Russian government demanded his extradition from Italy, but the European liberal opinion was unanimous in refusing it. And Klemenshaw also used his influence. He was also, as we know, a tiger. Soon after Gershuni died of a sarcoma in the lung, among other leader leading SR terrorists,

we must also mention Abraham Goats, who played an active role in the attacks on Duonovo, Akamov, Shavlov, Trepov, and played a role in the assassination of Mene and Riemann. But he had the misfortune of living much longer than his elder brother who died prematurely, and the Bolsheviks later gave him a hard time. I'm not sure what the Tsar was going to do in reprieving him, what that was going to accomplish. A lot of these guys, especially in urban juries, we know we talked about their control of the legal profession. And a lot of these guys got off despite the fact that there was a huge amount of evidence.

That was only in the big city, especially Petersburg. But what's the most interesting thing here is that we see that Western Europe refused to extradite mass killers. Now, that may have been why the Tsar reprieved them, although this, this, this, description seems to be to say that's why, you know, he was able to escape. But, yeah, they were executing people all over the place in Western Europe. So to say that they were a part of the revolutionary movement is not an exaggeration. So they could go anywhere in Europe, these murderers, convicted murderers, self-described murderers, and they know that they will never be sent back.

And it's more than just liberal opinion. that's the level of distortion in the media and in history that Russia was subject to because they just assumed that there's no such thing as a fair trial and all these guys were right and we backed them especially the British the other thing of interest is that we've mentioned this before too is that for high-level assassinations they didn't like a lot of guys named Goldstein they they hand-picked non-Jews for those so the people could point to it and say,

that's not Jewish, despite the fact there was a Jewish organization. That happened several times, including or especially the assassination of Alexander II. It was a Jewish organization, but they made sure that they weren't Jews, as far as I know, who were involved directly with the bombing. So there's a lot going on here.

But again, this is, the Jews in Russia at this point were a organized crime syndicate. far more powerful than anything that the Italians would create in the U.S., and with the full backing of Western Europe. This wasn't that far after the Crimean War, the propaganda in the West was outrageous about these, you know, Mongols or whatever they called the Russians at the time. I read a little bit of it.

I have a paper out in the Crimean War, and that kind of language was, was used on a pretty regular basis. So, and given Johnson's law, especially back then, there was no way for anyone to really refute it. It was, there was such a blank spot on the mentality of Westerners, especially Americans. You know, historians specializing in Russia

or even people, non-Russians who could speak Russian, were very few. That means they could say whatever they want and they're going to be believed. the unfortunate thing is, it's still believed today. To play with history, precautions were less taken than the previous revolutionary generation. Less well known than others, Pinos Rutenberg, is not less worthy of interest. In 1905, he trained groups of fighters in St. Petersburg and supplied them with weapons. Inspired by Gapon, he was at his side on the 9th of January, 1905, but it was also he who in 1906,

by order the SR Party, organizes and supervises as a. assassination. Later, he will author a book entitled Gapon's assassination. In 1919, he emigrated to Palestine where he distinguished himself in the electrification of the country. There, he shows that he is capable of building, but in his early years in Russia, he certainly does not work as an engineer. He destroys. One loses the trace of the student of Zion, irresponsible instigator of the mutiny of Zverborg, who, however, escaped the slaughter that ensued. Yeah, Gopon, we were referring to Father George Gippon, who essentially was a double agent. He was a priest in the Orthodox Church.

He had been removed even before the 1905 so-called Bloody Sunday disaster. But, you know, he played both sides. There were a few guys like that, like as a few others. But at Ruttenberg, of course, is a very important character. I've written on him many times in the past years ago. So Gapon was really distinguished only because he led the protests in Petersburg that led to the Buddy Sunday massacre. Otherwise, he didn't do much of it. He had been removed even before that from the clergy.

He had been disciplined many times long before that. But that's what Gapon is. refers to here. Apart from the SR, each year brought with it new democratic fighters, theorists, and talkers. Some had short-lived notoriety in narrow circles, such as Alexandra Sukulovskaya, whom history retained only because she was Trotsky's first wife and the mother of his two daughters.

Others had been unjustly forgotten. Zinovi-Letvine-Sidoy, the chief of staff of the detachments of the Krasnaya-Presnia district during the armed insurrection in Moscow. Zinovi Dosser, a member of the Troika, who led this insurrection. Among its leaders, we can cite Marat Chanzer, Lev Kaventhausen, Lovatsky, Zagorski, who for nearly a century gave his pseudonym to the monastery of the Trinity St. Sergius, and Martin Mandelstam-Liadov, member of the Executive Commission of the RSDLP for the Organization of the Armed Insurrection. Others like E. F. Don and O. Namhamskis were to play an important role later in 1917.

Despite Bakunin's aversion for the Jews, there are many of them among the leaders and theorists of anarchism, but other Russian anarchists such as Krapotkin had no hostility toward the Jews and tried to win them over to their cause. Among these leaders were Yaakov Novomerski, Alexander Gou, Lev Cherni, V. Gordine, one of them, I. Gross-Menroshen evokes with the greatest respect the figure of Aaron Elyne, of Bielashtok, a famous terrorist, but not only a specialist in gory operations, never does he fall, into systematic activism. The least patient among the mass of Jews are looking for a faster way to achieve socialism. And this recourse, this ambulance, they find in anarchism.

It is the Jews of Kiev and southern Russia who have been most attracted to anarchism, and the documents relating to the Bogroff affair, there is often mention of smaller-scale anarchists forgotten by history. Yeah, anarchy really had its roots in Russia. So many of the early theorists were. Anarchism is such an absurd doctrine. I don't think its leadership actually believed it. It's just a negative.

It just we have to wipe out what exists, and then someone else will build on top of it. Just like the Marxist, I've read the collected works of Kropotkin and Bakunin, including their letters. And they don't have a – they don't talk a lot about the future, like the Marxist didn't, which is always very suspicious to me. But they seem to believe that a group of people who can destroy a society should be the same ones who should rule it afterwards, which doesn't make any sense. you know, because when you win a civil war, you do it through, you know, Mossad tactics, you know,

you do it through deception. You know, you can't be a moral man. The revolutionary is a murderer. By his, almost by definition, especially on the left, all revolutionaries are leftists, I think, almost exclusively. But, you know, the point, but the broader point being,

This isn't an ideology that can function. The society is immediately destroyed, and then, you know, Bakun and Kruppokin say, right afterwards, it should then self-gather into communal bodies without any outside interference. They can't possibly believe that, especially in Russia, where that was already the case. Russia was very, very decentralized, especially among the peasantry. But of course, these guys had no connection with the peasantry whatsoever.

He mentioned, I've mentioned him before, but he says that Krapakin wasn't a big fan of the Jews, and that's right. Specifically, when the manifesto, Communist Party, came out, he ripped into Karl Marx because he knew he was getting money from the roster, Charles. He said it over and over again. He was kicked out of the first international, obviously, which he said, I know for a fact is financed by the mother Rothschild, the Rothschild clan and many

in the, the elite in Britain. But for some reason, anarchism found its roots in Russia. I don't know if it appealed to the Jews nearly as much as communism, because at least, you know, in verbiage, in theory, there was to be no rule. There was to be no power after the revolution. So that's why I think you have many, like, you know, Bukchen and Beekman and others over the years, Luxembourg, who were anarchists and Jewish. But I think Marxism had a far greater appeal

because then they would actually be able to rule violently the anarchists, I guess, once a revolution occurred, they're not allowed to do anything else because they're anarchists. They can't force anyone to do anything. And I think that wasn't important to the Jews whatsoever. But except to the extent that it was just negative, it was a destructive reaction to things rather than anything constructive. Well, and also the less central organizing you have,

the less collectivizing you have, the more the people who have the money and the power can control you and stay in power. Yeah. So, I mean, I've looked at every anarchist movement and even ones in the 20th century, they're always concocted and led from the front by Jews who just, you know, always seem to be selling something. Yeah, even ideology, yeah. Yeah, what happens after they get their way, though, is not something they're going to going to answer. So I think anarchism is just to appeal to the kids. You know, but Kunin tried to

write a systematic theory like Marx did, and it's not quite the same. This is a more wild, absolutely, but you know, you had, you had some of the ethno-anarchist ideas. The Slavophiles hated the state. But Kunin said the Slavophiles, there are people who said the Slavophiles hate the state, not the monarchy. but the state more than I do because it was this agrarian communes

which did exist and should be empowered even more in the war against the oligarchy on a very Russian and religious basis now of course the Russian and religious basis is what separates the Slavophiles from anarchists

but it's not an exaggeration to say that the early Slavophiles were national anarchists, so to speak, or ethnic anarchists, religious anarchists. But they were right-wingers, though. But if there was one place where that was going to happen, it would have been the Russian Empire. Because you didn't have a strong state in St. Petersburg. It didn't enforce much. It didn't have that capacity, so everything was local.

And even Karl Marx, in his very famous letter to Vera Zasulich, one of these, assassins who, by the way, got off in Petersburg, Jewish Jewish woman. He said it's because of the peasant commune that Russia is a very good example of a possible revolution. I know it's a myth. People say, well, Russia wasn't fully

– Russia was quite industrialized, but not like Germany or Britain. But Karl Marx schema of feudalism, capitalism, socialism, communism, he said that only applies to a handful of countries in the West. Russia is a very different story. This is something Mao Zedong made a big deal of in his new democracy nonsense. But in his letters to Vera and other Russian leftists, he thought that Russia was a prime candidate for revolutionary action, not quite in the way that his, like you read in capital that he had planned out. That was for Germany, Britain, France. But so that wasn't a, that wasn't a historical scheme set in stone. But as far as Russia is concerned, at the time, you had a

very decentralized system, a very democratic system, especially for the reforms of Alexander the second. You know, it was in the big cities that you had. It was a different story. And that's where the left really dominated, because they had no support in the countryside. We have already observed, but it is worth recalling, that it was not only because of the inequalities of which they were the victims that many Jews were rushing into the revolution. The participation of the Jews in the revolutionary movement, which had gained the whole of Russia, is only partly explained by their situation of inequality. The Jews merely shared the general feeling of hostility toward the autocracy. should we be surprised. Young people from the intelligentsia, both Russian and Jewish, heard in their families all year long only crimes perpetrated by the power of the government composed of assassins and they precipitated the revolutionary action with all the energy of their fury. Bogroff like the others. That's called projection. That's a neurotic response of people who actually live by assassination.

In 1905, the Jewish historian Esdubinov accused all. all Jewish revolutionaries of national treason. In his article entitled Slavery in the Revolution, he wrote, The entire numerous army of young Jews who occupy the most prominent positions in the Social Democratic Party and who run for positions of command has formally cut off all ties with the Jewish community. You build nothing new. You are the only the valets of the revolution or its commissaries. But as time passed, the approval of the adults to their revolutionary progeny grew.

This phenomenon was intensified. among the fathers of the new generation, it was on the whole more marked among the Jews than among the Russians. Meyer Bohemich, member of the Duma, declared 10 years later in 1916, we do not regret that the Jews participated in the struggle for liberation. They were

fighting for your freedom. And six months later, in the conflagration of the new revolution in March 1917, the celebrated lawyer, O. O. Grusenberg, held these passionate but not unfounded remarks before the leaders of the provisional government and the Soviet of deputies

of workers and soldiers. We generously offered to the revolution a huge percentage of our people, almost all its flower, almost all its youth. And when in 1905 the people rose up, countless Jewish fighters came to swell their ranks, carried by an irresistible impulse. Others will say the same thing.

Historical circumstances made the Jewish masses of Russia unable to not participate in the most active way in the revolution. For the Jews, the solution of the Jewish question in Russia was the triumph of progressive ideas in this context. country. They were a privileged cast of people, just like they are in the U.S. inequality. You know, yeah, certain things weren't allowed because of Jewish violence, but

for them to talk anything negative as the economy was doing very well, even during the Russo-Japanese war. I've said it before. I'll say it again, it's really hard to build a revolutionary movement when things are going well, when you do have a highly democratic and centralized society. I mean, the monarchy was only really interested in, you know, military policy and foreign policy, taxes, which were always gathered locally. You know, laws didn't really matter beneath the level of a governor. You know, the county in the Zemsevah and the Emir, if they didn't want it.

If they didn't want it, it didn't matter. They were the cells of the society. And so how do you build a revolution then? Industry was growing, wages were growing, workers were treated far better than they were elsewhere. So the Jews led the revolution because they're Jews. They despised Christianity. But even more than that, the stories of the pogroms, these inventions, these exaggerations, is what created this

close-knit group of people who were very well armed had tons of connections with Western Europe, always was supported by the West, as we've already seen, to the point where even killers won't be sent back, won't be repatriated, which is outrageous.

And so they had to invent it. They had to invent situations, including attacking Russian religious processions, and then calling it. a program later. And that's what kids are being taught every day at the university classroom. The revolutionary effervescence that had seized Russia was undoubtedly stirred up by that which reigned among the Jews. However, youth alone, trained in intellectual or manual labor, could not make the revolution. One of the top priorities was to win over the revolutionary cause and to lead the

industrial workers, and especially those of St. Petersburg, to battle. However, as noted by the director of the police department at the time, at the initial stage of its development, the workers' movement was foreign to political aspirations. And even on the eve of January 9th, during an extraordinary meeting which they had organized on December 27th, the workers chased a Jew who tried to make political propaganda and distribute leaflets, and three Jewish women who sought to propagate political ideas were apprehended. In order to train the workers of St. Petersburg, Gapon's pseudo-religious propaganda took place. On January 9th, even before the troops opened fire, and it was the young Simon Rekzamer, the son of the director of the warehouse and grain storage company, who took the lead of the only barricade erected that day on the 4th Street of St. Basil's Island with the destruction of the telegraph and telephone lines and the attack on the police station.

Moreover, the workers of this quarter were employed two days later to copiously beat the intellectuals. Well, there's a lot there. One of my favorite papers I've written is on Bloody Sunday. That's what they're referring to. Troops opening fire. You know, labor in Russia was doing very well. Initially, these labor groups drew up some quite legitimate and very acceptable demands. It was just the Marxists later on who took that and rewrote it.

and given their tremendous, you know, Jews had nothing to do with the workers. They were the ones who then took over this. And this is what they handed over to the authorities. Of course, Zarnikos was not in the palace at that point. And it was supposed to be peaceful. It was. They stole icons. The whole thing was it was a scam.

But your typical participant didn't know that. We talked about this with Alina Gould. gold mine situation. It was a handful of these Marxist Jews who were armed, who did open fire, who did set fire to things. And then the troops did fire

because that's what riot control was back then. You know, you didn't have anything. You didn't have tear gas. You didn't have any of that. But that's what happened. There weren't that many who were killed or injured. But this was a deliberate setup by the left and by the Jewish left in particular.

George Gippon was essentially used for this, but you read, I could still picture how it's written in textbooks. You know, the loyalists, the workers were loyalists. They were Orthodox. Marching to a peaceful procession, they thought they were, but that's not really what happened. You'll hear a textbook tell you that the soldiers just opened fire because of capitalism or something stupid.

But in fact, they were provoked beyond belief. They suffered casualties as well. There were acts of terror throughout. But that had nothing to do with the actual workers. As always, they hijacked a protest. They hijacked the movement that may have had legitimacy otherwise and turned it into their interests. And that's how they operate.

Now, they had another thing. Oh, they killed us for no reason in Petersburg. something else that they could propagandize. And the Western press went crazy after Bloody Sunday. And that just solidified Western opinion against the monarchy in Russia. We know that the Russian revolutionaries who immigrated to Europe welcomed the news of the shooting of Petersburg with a mixture of indignation and enthusiasm. It's about time. Now it's going to blow. As for the propagation of this enthusiasm and of the insurrection, in the palest settlement, it was the tireless settlement. It was the tireless. Boond, who harnessed itself, whose him, Aski said of it, that it was the Marseille of the Jewish workers, included the following words, enough of loving our enemies, we want to hate

them. It is ready the pyre. We will find enough logs for its holy flames to engulf the planet. Let us note in passing that the international was translated into Russian by Arkady Kutz as early as 1912, several generations were religiously imbued with his words, Stand up, the damned of the earth, and of the past let us make a clean slate. The Bund immediately issued a proclamation about 200,000 copies. The revolution has begun. It burned in the capital. Its flames cover in the whole country.

To arms. Storm the armories and seize all the weapons. Let all the streets become battlefields. According to the Red Chronicle of the Soviet regime's beginnings, the events of the 9th January in St. Petersburg echoed a great deal in the Jewish Workers' Movement. They were followed by mass demonstrations of the Jewish proletariat throughout the pale of settlement. At their head was the Boon. To ensure the massive nature of the demonstrations, detachments of the Boon went to workshops, factories, and even to workers' homes to call for the cessation of work. They employed force to empty the boilers of their steam to tear off the transmission belts.

They threatened the owners of companies here and there where shots were fired. At Babetsk, one of them received a jet of sulfuric acid. It was not a spontaneous mass demonstration, but an action carefully prepared and organized. And Bookbinder, regret, however, that almost everywhere the strikes were followed only by the Jewish workers. In a whole series of towns, the Russian workers, the Russian workers, put up a strong resistance to the attempts to stop the factories and plants. There were week-long strikes in Vilnius, Mints, Gomo, Riga, and two weeks in Labava. The police had to intervene naturally, and in several cities, the Bun constituted armed

attachments to combat police terror. In Crinky, the province of Grodna, the strikers gunned the police, interrupted telegraphic communications, and for two days all the power was in the hands of the strike committee. The fact that workers, and among them a majority of Jews, had thus been able to hold power from the beginning of 1905, was very significant of what this revolution was and gave rise to many hopes. It is no less true that the Bun's important participation in these actions might lead one to believe that discontent was above all the results of the Jews, while the other nationalities were not that revolutionary. And the Jews had zero connection with labor. They were were not in the factories.

There was a lot of hostility to the Jews. They were seen as a privileged group of people, a wealthy group of people, you know, but they were involved through their media. They spread rumors. They were able to mobilize, you know, they, you know, like eight-hour workday, which, of course, didn't exist anywhere. It wasn't forced in much of Russia, by the way, at the time. and a few other legitimate things,

and then they kept adding to it without telling the workers about this. The workers movement was Jews in his office writing out these demands that no one could ever possibly accept. Keep in mind, too, that labor unrest was endemic in the West, Western Europe at the time. And I think labor there had a far more difficult time because, relatively speaking,

their wages were lower because in Russia the cost of living was very low. Taxes were low. So they were simply, especially skilled labor, was far better off than anywhere else. The Germans were, I think, a close second. So again, what do you do? How do you create a revolution in these circumstances? You have to create something like Bloody Sunday and then tell everyone that, well, this is how, this is how the monarchy is going to respond to a peaceful religious protest.

And that's exactly what they said. And remember, during the Duma campaigns for the four Duma's, the elections, the left never was honest about their agenda. No one ever talked about collectivization. No one ever talked about nationalizing everything. they, you know, they talked about hating the landlords despite the fact that it was essentially a peasant-run countryside. You know, it's just, you know, they used every bit of deceit imaginable. But, you know, I've been through the numbers.

I've been through the numbers that were admitted by the provisional government. That being a skilled worker in Petersburg was a good life relative to what it would be like in, in Britain or elsewhere, where taxes were much higher. And that's really the result of Alexander III's labor legislation. So without severe problems, these Jews had to create them. The strength of the revolutionaries men manifested itself through the actions carried out in broad daylight of armed detachments of self-defense, which had been illustrated during the Gomel program, and which had since then grown considerably, stronger. Self-defense was most often in close contact with the armed detachments of political

organizations. It can be said that the whole pale of settlement was covered by a whole network of armed self-defense groups which played an important military role. Only a professional army could face them. At the height of the revolution, they were joined by Zionist groups of various tendencies. The particularly active participation of the Poile Zion, as well as the armed detachments of the Z-Z, Zionist Socialists, but also from Serp. So that in the armed operations that occurred during the revolution, the socialists belonging to different currents of Zionism found themselves at our side, remembers as Demonstein later a prominent Bolshevik leader. The Bund was to continue its military operations throughout this changing and uncertain year of

1905. Special mention should be made to the April events of Jitomir. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, it was a pogrom against the Jews, moreover, fomented by the police. As for Diemannstein, who boasts of having actively participated in the 1905 Revolution on the territory of the so-called Palo Settlement, he wrote, it was not a pogrom, but a fight against the troops of the counter-revolution. The Jewish Encyclopedia indicates that up to 20 Jews were killed, the new one. Almost 50, according to other sources, about 35. According to the latter, disorders began after provocateur.

had declared that Jews had fired shots on the portrait of the Tsar outside the city. While the messenger of the government gives as a fact that two weeks before the program, a crowd of nearly 300 people gathered outside the city to practice shooting with revolvers by aiming for the portraits of His Majesty of the Emperor. After this, several brawls broke out between the Jews and Christians within the city, still according to the messenger of the government, the aggressors were mostly Jews. According to the new Jewish encyclopedia on the day of the event, the Jewish detachments of self-defense heroically resisted the rioters. From a neighboring village, a group of young armed Jews came to their rescue when, on the way, they were stopped by Ukrainian peasants at Trojonovo.

They tried to take refuge among the Jewish inhabitants of the village, but these did not let them in, and a characteristic fact indicated to the peasants where two of them had been hiding. 10 members of the detachment were killed. I think we should stop there. But this is a common pattern. They created this. They fired the first shots. They were heavily armed. They were very well organized.

They had a clear agenda. It was definitely an ethnic. The Red Army existed in these detachments in utero, so to speak, in very early stages. coming from the Jewish Bund. This was a purely Jewish militant movement. So any time they talk about Jews being killed, it simply either was a lie or a wild exaggeration. Russians were killed far more,

and they would deliberately provoke, you know, processions and attack churches. And like it says here, shooting pictures of the emperor, who was very popular for a whole bunch of reasons, despite the manipulations of the press, and then they would shoot back, they would start shooting at anyone who opposed them, and we'll call that a program where Jews were murder for no reason. That's the pattern here.

All right, we'll pick this up in a couple days. And as always, please go to the show notes. Please go to the description on the video. Hit the hyperlinks there and donate to Dr. Johnson to keep him going in this research. and in this study and in this teaching. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

Have a great day. You too, my friend. I want to welcome everyone back to our reading of 200 years together by Alexander Solzhenyson. Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today? I had something funny to say, but, you know, I'm working on a paper on what's left of the Ukrainian Air Force. And there's nothing funny about that. The pilot survival rate in the new F-16s is zero. They never come back.

This is so tragic. This is so twisted. Lindsay Graham went so far as to say, let's get retired American pilots to go over there. I mean, retired Polish Air Force pilots, anything. You know, there's no chance of a victory here. They just want to kill as many Russians as possible. There is nothing funny.

It's a very depressing topic. How are you doing? I'm doing good, but you know, I mean, hey, this is all the Vladimir Putin's fault, right? I mean, one day he woke up and he went, I hate Ukraine, Ukrainian is supposed to belong to me. I'm going to invade right now. And I'm taking it all because I want it all. Personally, yeah. Of course it's personal.

It's so ridiculous. The level of Judeo-Hosbara propaganda that we have to deal with isn't, doesn't even, it's not even good anymore. It used to be a time when it was entertaining. You know, it was like, oh, okay, I mean, I could read through this, but at least, you know, it's pretty good. Now it's just so ham-handed. It's really ham-handed. No insults. And I know, too.

When when Rustigate came out, I realized they're not trying anymore. That was almost deliberately stupid. So it's I'm not sure who they're appealing to here. It's almost like they're seeing how far they can go. Like when ISIS suddenly came out, which I knew from the second I saw them was a fake. It was so deliberately ridiculous. But of course, people bought it right away. They're seeing how far they can go.

Of course, they can afford better recordings and better video, but they won't do it. It's just that that's what the propaganda is. But, you know, if you ever feel stupid. Just remember, trillions of dollars of propaganda has not worked on you or me. That might be a bit of an ego boost. Yeah. Awesome. Awesome.

All right. Today, we may, it looks like we're going to cross over the one-third mark of the book. If we're at 656 pages and this is page 216. Yeah, we're one-third of the way. It's like a part of life now. I'm not going to know what to do with myself when this is over. We're going to have to go to another book. We're going to have to go to another book.

All right. Let's start this. You know, what am I going to do? All right. All right. At the time, a particularly effective maneuver had already been devised. The funerals of the victims who fell for the revolution constituted one of the most effective means of propaganda capable of inflating the masses, which had for consequence that the fighters that were aware that their death would be used for the profit of the. capable of inflating the masses, which had for consequence that the fighters that were aware that

their death would be used for the profit of the revolution, that it would arouse a desire for vengeance among the thousands of people who were going to attend their funeral, and that on these occasions it was relatively easier to organize manifestations. The liberal circles considered it their duty to ensure that the police did not intervene during a funeral. Thus, the funeral became one of the components of revolutionary propaganda in 1905. It is something easily overlooked. Some state funerals on the official side have been a source of propaganda for a long time, but these kind of funerals too, the communists in South Korea, the few that have been killed over the many, many years of rioting, these funerals are nothing

more than political events. They don't care about the person in the casket. They just, you know, that they're able to use it. And of course, the speeches are all about, you know, these kids, you know, some kid was killed for no reason, you know, and, and because of the emotional side of it, the inherent emotional side of this, it's very easy to manipulate people out of you. I should know, you know, it brings out the worst in everybody. And that's a time of tremendous suggestibility to anyone who is fanatible.

enough to actually go to one of these things. I remember when Chundu Huan died, the second military leader of South Korea, he wasn't nearly as significant as General Park, who of course turned a third world country into a first world country in like five years. But I remember at his funeral,

the left tried to start a riot during the funeral procession. Now, they're aware of how important, even in South Korea, they're aware of how important funerals are. And this became a regular thing. And that's why they were worried about police interference because even they were finally getting the memo that funerals are a tremendous source of suggestibility and hence propaganda becomes very, very effective.

In the summer of that year, the police terror was massive, but there were also many acts of vengeance on the part of the workers who threw bombs on patrols of soldiers or Cossacks, murdered policemen, whether officers or not. These cases were far from being isolated because it was a step backwards or forwards for the revolution in the Jewish sector. Example. The Cossacks killed the Bund militant in Gommel. 8,000 people attend his funeral.

Revolutionary speeches are given, and the revolution advances, always advances. and when the time came to protest against the convening of the Bulligan consultative Duma, the campaign moved from the stock exchange in the Jewish quarter to the synagogues, where speakers of the party intervened during the service, under the protection of armed attachments that sealed off the exits. During these assemblies, it was frequent that resolutions prepared in advance were adopted without discussion. The unfortunate faithfuls come, to pray. But did they have a choice? Go and talk to these fellows. There is no question of stopping

the revolutionary process at this stage. You know, the Tsar Nicholas was forced to create some kind of a duma or a parliament in the process of the 1905 revolution. He eventually liquidated it. It just became, at least the first three, just became a source of the, you know, it was a, it was a of the provisional government later on. So many of the monarchists thought it beneath them to run for office. But you need to make it clear here that

you have armed detachments. You have, this is so ethnically Jewish already. You have these detachments where the germ, I guess, the original cells of what would become the Red Army.

Since the Jews at this point, were extremely well armed, more so than before. And there wasn't much that the state can do about it. Most of what you read here was a quote. This isn't Charlton-Etsen talking, because he would never refer to police terror. The police didn't have that capacity. And this is also before any kind of normal riot control.

So, you know, swords and rifles were really the only way that they could control a crowd. And the left knew that. And that means what they got in Western Europe was, of course, an even more disastrous level of propaganda than they had in Russia. And by the time all this was translated into English, God knows what they were saying. I've read some of it. It's terrible. But it was almost purely an ethnic movement at the time. The project of convocation of this consultative Duma, which was not followed up on due to the events of 1905, started from the

assumption that they did not possess it for the designation of municipal self-government bodies. It had been originally planned to not grant the Jews the right to vote. But the revolutionary momentum was growing. The Jewish municipal counselors appointed by the provincial authorities resigned demonstratively here and there, and the Dumas Election Act of August 1905 already provided for the granting of voting rights for the Jews. But the revolution continued its course and public opinion rejected this consultative Duma, which was therefore not united. Why would you extend the franchise to a group of people who at this point, almost to a man,

were saying that Russia wasn't their country? You know, Zionists would only vote. I mean, you know, it's like giving voting rights to non-citizens. they never thought of Russia as their country. So there was nothing unreasonable in denying them. It's the original idea to deny them voting rights. But there was no doubt about that. We all know where their votes were going for anyway.

So it was just an automatic plus to the left. But maybe if they have another commission, they could figure this all out. That would be what, the 27th, 28th? I don't even know. The tension remained high throughout this unhappy year 1905. The government was overtaken by the events. In the fall, strikes, notably in the railways, were being prepared everywhere in Russia. And, of course, the pale of settlement was not spared.

In the region of the Northwest, during early October, was seen a rapid rise of the revolutionary energy of the masses. A new campaign of meetings takes place in the synagogues, always in the same way, with men posted at exits to a intimidate the faithful. We prepare ourselves feverishly for the general strike. In Vilnius, during a meeting authorized by the governor, some shot the immense portrait of the emperor that was there, and some smashed it with chairs. An hour later, it was on the governor in person that one drew. Here it was, the frenzy of 1905. But in Gamal, for example, the social Democrats could not agree with the Bund and they acted in disorder. As for the social revolution, They joined the Zionist socialists and then bombs are thrown at the Cossacks who retaliate by shooting and knocking on all those who fall under their hand without distinction of nationality.

A very pretty revolutionary outburst. They were rubbing their hands. It was pretty clear that what the Jewish left was doing was trying to speed up a full... militant confrontation between themselves and the state. I'm glad we're mentioning Cossacks here because they really were the, at least in a few places, a few big cities, they were the riot police, so to speak, usually on horseback. And they never had any trouble in taking action against Jews. That's part of the reason they exist at all.

and that's why, you know, when the Revolution 1917 broke out, they were some of the most vehement against the Reds and really was part of the backbone of the White Army. But these groups, Zionist socialists, the social democracies, you know, they, in the main, they were very similar in terms of ideology. They were all very Jewish. They differed on some issues, but not fundamental ones. The only thing, or the main thing, I should say, that unified them at this point was their hatred of the Tsar. Who was a popular man? But the Russo-Japanese War wasn't severe enough to the Japanese. The Japanese didn't get what they wanted, despite the media manipulation.

And some of these strikes were promoted with all kinds of disingeness. information, including about the war. Railway workers for some reason were very susceptible to this because I guess it was so important to how things, to, you know, to the economic health of the empire. And of course, they were Jewish owned before they were taken by the state. So these aren't really that different in terms of organizations. They were very Jewish. Gommel's a Jewish city, or a city, I should say, has a huge Jewish population, Vilnius and Lithuania. these things occurred where you had large concentrations of Jews. In the countryside, none of this was really going on.

But if there was one group that the Reds hated, it was the Cossack forces. It is not surprising that in many places, we could observe well-to-do and religious Jews actively fighting the revolution. They worked with the police to track down Jewish revolutionaries to break up demonstrations, strikes, and so on. Not that it was pleasing to them to find themselves on the side of power, but not having detached themselves from God, they refused to witness the destruction of life. Still less did they accept the revolutionary law. They venerated their law. While in Bialistock and other places, the young revolutionaries assimilated the union of Jews to the black hundreds because of its religious orientation.

Yeah, that probably happened. but remember Jews of that proclivity were very few they realized that even if it was you know it may not be in their interest for this particular group of Jews to take over they weren't sure if they could take over and all that would mean for them is more hatred and more attention negative attention that spotlight shining on them all the time so regardless whether these Jews like the monarchy or not

they realize that these revolutionaries at least as of 1905 had no chance of victory. And yet their terrorism was such that it's going to create so much heat on them that, yeah, this isn't working out. Of course, that all changed when World War I broke out. According to Diemannstein, the situation after the general strike in October could be summarized as follows. The Bund, the ZS, and other Jewish workers' parties called for insurrection. but there a certain weariness could be perceived. Later, like the Bolsheviks, the Bun boycotted early in the 1906 the elections to the first Duma, still caressing the hopes of a revolutionary explosion.

This expectation, having been disappointed, it resigned itself to bring its position closer to those of the Mensheviks. In 1907, at the first Congress of the RSDLP, of the 305 deputies, 55 were members of the Bund, and it even became a supporter of extreme Yiddishism. It is this amped up atmosphere, very uncertain for the power in place, that Vita persuaded Nicholas II II to promulgate the manifesto of October 17, 1905. More exactly, Vita wanted to publish it in the form of a simple government press release, but it is Nicholas II himself who insisted that the promulgation of the manifesto made in the name of the Tsar should assume a solemn character.

He thought he would thus touch the hearts of his subjects. Adi Obelensky, who drew up the initial draft, reported that among the three points of the manifesto, there was a special one devoted to the rights and freedoms of the Jews. But Vita, doubtlessly, at the pressing request of the emperor, modified its formulation by addressing in a general way the respect for individuals and the liberty of conscience, expression, and assembly. The question of the equal rights of the Jews was therefore no longer mentioned. It was only in the speech published at the time, at the same time that the manifesto

that Vita spoke of the need to equalize all Russian subjects before the law, irrespective of their confession and nationality. Let's be clear, the RSDLP is the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party. The Bolsheviks came directly out of that. So at this point, again, it was a completely ethnic organization. Vita was more of an economist in his general proclivity of things. So he's thinking in numbers, Nicholas II, who knew the Jewish question extremely well, knew what that meant in terms of Jewish power.

So he tried to, while he respected Vita, of course, and he was either a very strong character contrary to the myth mythology. He was able to take from various advisors and come up with a synthesis, which worked most of the time, including on this. The Duma was a complete disaster. It had all of the worst aspects of democracy. But as we've said 100 times before, equalizing the subjects, irrespective of anything,

that just means the increasing financial domination of the Jews enhance more money to the revolutionary movement. People have to get it out of their heads that capitalism and Marxism are fundamentally different. They're not. It just depends on the role of the state, the role of the party, the use of physical versus psychological violence. They're very similar ideologies.

They both came out of the Enlightenment. they're both materialistic and Jewish capitalists were the same ones who were financing the Bolshevik revolution. The Bolsheviks were never about equality. They were about power. But we must make concessions only at the right time and in a position of strength. And this was no longer the case. Liberal and revolutionary opinion laughed at the manifesto, seeing it only as capitulation and rejected it.

The emperor, like Vitsa, was deeply affected, but also certain representatives of the Jewish intelligentsia. For what the best of the Russians had been waiting for decades was finally realized. In fact, the emperor willingly surrendered the autocratic regime and pledged to hand over the legislative power to the representatives of the people. One would have thought that this change would fill everyone with joy. But the news was welcomed with the same revolutionary intransigence, the struggle. continues. In the streets, the national flag, the portraits of the emperor, and the coat of arms of the state were torn off. The Duma, again, was a complete disaster. It just became the locus of the opposition. This is when the media in the Russian Empire went into overdrive.

Any right-wing candidate was thrashed beyond belief, no different than, you know, Trump in, say, in 2016, that kind of treatment. It was very hard to go after the emperor personally. so, you know, they did other things. People around him. Eventually, Rasputin was one of the, all the myths about him. But it's very important here. And Pope de Honesty of and so many others said this earlier that these minor capitulations are not seen as acts of good faith.

These are revolutionary. They're seen as weakness. And that means that they're going to double their efforts now because we're actually getting somewhere. So even tactically, it was a bad idea. But he thought, and eventually this revolution failed to a great extent, except for the Duma. It eventually petered out, and it took quite a while for it to gather steam again.

In the meantime, they were getting money from Britain, from their own tremendous wealth. So it's very important to remember this. And it's hard to blame him. We know a lot more about the situation, about revolutionaries in the left today. And they did at the time. They really only had the French Revolution to compare it to. But these kind of concessions were seen as expressions of weakness, and therefore they will then redouble efforts and get more violent because now the emperor seems to be retreating.

And that's why this was an error, among many other reasons. The account of Vitsa's interview at the Petersburg Press on 18th of October, following the promulgation of the manifesto, is rich in information. Vita obviously expected manifestations of gratitude and relied on the friendly support of the press to calm the spirits. He even openly solicited it. He obtained only scathing replies, first from the director of the Stock Exchange News, SM proper, then from Nodovitch, Kodzky, Arabezhen, and Ananski, all demanded with one voice, proclaim immediately political amnesty. This requirement is categorical.

General Trepov must be dismissed from his post as Governor General of St. Petersburg. This is the unanimous decision of the press. The unanimous decision of the press. And to withdraw the Cossacks and the army from the capital, we shall not publish any more newspapers as long as the troops are there. The army is the cause of... Oh, no! Don't threaten me.

The army is the cause of the disaster. The security of the city must be entrusted to the popular militia. That is to say, to the detachments of revolutionaries, which meant creating in Petersburg the conditions for a butchery, as it would soon be in Odessa or in the future, to set up in Petersburg the conditions favorable to the future revolution of February. And Vitsa implored, let me breathe a little. Help me. Give me a few weeks. He even passed among them, shaking hands with each one. For his part, he will remember later. Properer's demands meant for me

that the press had lost its head. Despite this, the government had intelligence and courage to refuse the establishment of anarchy, and nothing serious happened in the capital. You know, one phrase, I really have come to hate because it doesn't mean anything. It's always contextual, and that is the phrase, the people. To have these upper-class Jews, most of them, you know, barely speaking Russian, claiming to speak for the people, or even worse, the masses. You know, when you refer to the population as masses, it's complete dehumanization. It's a mass. It's like a blob of nothing. They're indistinguishable.

They're just a big machine, which is exactly how the left viewed them. But, you know, none of this should be shocking at this point. This, the press then, as I've always been, is just a pillar, maybe the pillar of leftist activism. That's what they were. You had specialty newspapers, you know, that were more right-wing, certainly more and with more circulation than you have. in America today. But as I've said 100 times before, monarchists didn't get propaganda.

The nationals didn't get propaganda very, or at least they were very late to the, they were very late to the party. The Bolshevichs were always better. And this was even the case during the Civil War. Or the whites just didn't get it. They didn't understand how ideology is so important. And especially, you know,

the most ideological war of all time. And yet the leadership didn't, under most of the leadership didn't understand. And here you have Vita even trying to promote more concessions. And, you know, these Jews are wondering, geez, why is there this popular reaction against us? I wonder why. We have no idea they have making demands like this. So when, like when you read Mao, he uses the phrase, the people all the time.

Well, he slaughtered, what, 20 to 50 million, depending on. who you read either directly or indirectly. So clearly they were in part of the people. So it comes down to when they use that phrase, they're either referring to a class or they're referring really to just their own movement. We all know what the Talmud says about us in terms of not being human. The people may, you know, in an esoteric way,

just refer to Jews as such. But it certainly doesn't refer to everybody. they were well aware of the contempt that was growing in Russia against them and that if they took over, no matter what group took over, and the monarchy falls, that they're going to have to wipe out a huge portion of the population. Again, Russian society was doing quite well. So with these kind of strikes, they were artificial. creating shortages. Shortages in the capital were artificially engendered. You know, you break down

the railroad tracks and the railroad workers. Well, nothing's getting to the capital. And they're claiming, this shows you how awful the system is. We can't even find food to eat. You know, that's how their propaganda work, how simplistic it was. So at this point, it was only a matter of time. but I still say that if World War I didn't happen with that level of trauma, there would have been no revolution and because they really needed this mass trauma to create a society that might be so exhausted as to not really oppose them, although that wasn't the case either,

but revolutionaries usually need a major war and massive losses for them to take over. over in the in the in the in the confusion because in matter how you slice it the reds represented anywhere from two to six percent of the population and that's just in the in the cities they were well aware of that and therefore they had to take action they had to always compensate like like jews in general always have to compensate for their lack of numbers and they compensated for it with you know propaganda inventing stories creating a cohesion base on a on lies.

This entire thing was such a psychological operation on the side of the left. It was diabolically brilliant. And the response from the state was, given the ideology at the time is understandable. But even despite their tiny numbers, they had the entire Western world. They had a huge amount of money. They had tremendous propaganda. So many people in journalism. And, but, you know, eventually, you know,

Zorn Nicholas is going to shut down the Duma. He knows how even a small percentage with enough money and enough weapons can do a lot of damage. But how, you know, no one could predict how nasty World War I was going to be the massive level of casualties that were never seen before. And the trauma that creates where, you know, three major monarchies fell. and which was a complete disaster. That may have been the point of it. But again, as I said earlier, they're trying to speed this up.

They need to create as much misery and anarchy as possible in the hopes that whoever takes over, when they take over, they're going to say, well, finally we're going to bring peace and quiet to the society. But even after October of 1917, there was no there was uprisings

all over the country against them, especially in rural areas. They knew that they didn't speak for the people or the masses whatsoever. If you read some of the campaign literature,

especially leftists running for Dumasites, they were lying through their teeth as to what they believed in. The leftists, you know, they were very careful depending on their audience, to not offend people.

They weren't going to say, we're going to shoot all these people and we're going to get rid of the czar. Depending on their audience, they lied about. Even the Reds never said anything about how we're going to take everyone's property. We're going to create the Gulag,

which Lenin himself created. They weren't saying this. They couldn't say this in public. They were very circumspect about how their future agenda was going to be. So people had no idea what they were voting on. and their funds came from everything from bank robberies to foreign funding. And the state, again, didn't think it was in a position to do much about it.

In his memoirs, Vitzer relates that proper had arrived in Russia from abroad, a penniless Jew at no mastery of the Russian language. He had made his mark in the press and had become the head of the Stock Exchange news, running through the answer chambers of influential figures. When I was Minister of Finance, proper begged for official announcements, various advantages, and eventually obtained for me the title of Commercial Advisor. However, at this meeting, he formulated, not without a certain insolence, demands even declarations like this one. We have no confidence in the government.

Wait a minute. Wait, how he arrives penniless, and yet he becomes the head of the Stock Exchange news? this is a very common story a lot of the somebody was telling a story to my friend about Hartford and how Hartford Connecticut how some of the best property in Hartford Connecticut came into the hands of a group of five Jews who moved here in 19 who came to the country in 1941 and then apparently worked 24 hours a day for the next five years never sleeping, saving every penny they made, and then they started buying up all of the property in Hartford, Connecticut. That sounds reasonable, right?

I did my bachelor's degree at the University of Hartford, which is in West Hartford, which is even wealthier. It's the wealthiest city in the wealthiest state in America. and the fact that there are Jews everywhere and it is, it's disproportionately Jewish is no surprise, of course, a private school. But yeah, he obviously just plugged into the Jewish network. I'm sure he wasn't penniless.

And Vita's Judeophilia turned out to be an absolute scourge for the country. I think he was very, he was very naive about the whole thing, but again, he's thinking as an economist. He's thinking in terms of money. and therefore the Jews are important because of the money that they're making.

In the course of the same month of October, the Kievan, the Kievian, published an account of an officer returning to Moscow just at that moment after a year and a half of captivity in Japan, who was initially moved to tears by the generosity of the Emperor's Manifesto, which opened up favorable prospects for the country. At the mere sight of this officer in battle dress, the welcome which the Muscovite crowd received for, from him was expressed in these terms. Spook, suck-up, the Tsar's lackey. During a large meeting in the theater plaza, the orator called for struggle and destruction. Another speaker began his speech by shouting,

down with the autocracy. His accent betrayed his Jewish origins, but the Russian public listened to him, and no one found anything to reply to him. Nods of agreement met the insults uttered against the Tsar and his family. Cossacks, policemen, and soldiers, all without exception, no mercy, and all the Muscovite newspapers called for armed struggle.

In Petersburg, as is well known, a Soviet of the workers' deputies was formed on the 13th of October headed by the incomparable Parvus and Trotsky and with the straw man, Kruislev, Naserov, as a bonus. That's a...

That name's a... That's a lot. I agree. This Soviet aimed for the complete annihilation of the government. The events of October had even greater and more tragic consequences in Kiev and Odessa. Two great pogroms against the Jews, which must now be examined. They were the subject of detailed reports of Senate committees of inquiry. These were the most rigorous investigative procedures in Imperial Russia, the Senate representing

the highest and most authoritative judicial. institution and of the greatest independence. So these programs were popular revolts. The arrogance, the tremendous arrogance of the Jews here. And the fact that leftist revolutionary activity and Judaism were one and the same, that was very well known. And, you know, these were, this is really all they can do. If the state is not going to do it, if the state's going to give in over and over again,

or if Vita is going to convince people to give people to give it. in, then we have to do something. And the Union of the Russian people is really the first time that you had. And, you know, so many, St. John of Kronstadt was blessed its founding, was a member of this. So many of the church were on board. They knew what this was all about. They knew the Jewish question very well. The Optina Monastery was completely on board with the founding of the Union of the Russian people. And essentially it was a self-defense organization. And they were fighting back. And, well, how dare you fight back against the march of history and against God's people? You know, the self-chosen, the natural rulers of the world. And so it became a pogrom, not a matter of self-defense.

whenever Lenin spoke of liquidating the church, he always used the phrase, Black 100 clergy. In other words, he was terrified of the idea that Russians were fighting back. Again, they knew that they didn't speak for any more than 2 or 3% of the population. These demonstrations and stuff

were very artificial. You know, you did have, as I said before, you had legitimate demands You already pretty much had an eight-hour working day. You had the most advanced factory legislation in the world. But, you know, there were some legitimate issues. And what the Marxists would do was simply add to it in, you know, nasty things. You know, we're not going to go back to work until you abolish the monarchy or something stupid like that.

That were not agreed to beforehand. We saw this in the gold mining strike and the violence there, bloody Sunday. This is a common propaganda trope with them, adding things. And so you have an overreaction of certain elements of the state sometimes, but with tremendous provocation. But that's not how the press is going to record it. And so you have a lot of confusion. And the Union of the Russian people were finally, you know, it had half a million members at its height. mostly in Ukraine and parts of Belarus, really wherever Jews were congregated.

And it was the first time you had a militant, Russian Orthodox, nationalist response to the Jewish-left revolutionaries. And that's why to this day, you know, that's one of the reasons that the anti-Semitic law, you know, deaths to anti-Semites came in because of clergy and everybody. They were all black hundred clergymen. The truth of the matter, that's not entirely false because many of the clergy supported the black hundreds. They knew exactly what was going on. Again, natural law states that if the state is either unable or unwilling to stop this kind of disorder, then it's up to the population, the best of the population, the best armed members of the population. And that's what we're going to talk about here, the so-called pilgrims,

which were really pitched battle. between revolutionaries, Jews, the one side, and Russians on the other. It is Senator Turot who drafted the report on the Kiev program. He writes that the causes of this are related to the troubles that have won the whole of Russia in recent years, and he supports this assertion by a detailed description of what preceded it and the course of the facts themselves. Let us remind that after the events of January 9th in St. Petersburg, after months of social unrest, after the infamous defeat against Japan, the imperial government found nothing better to do, nothing better to do to calm the minds and to proclaim on the 27th of August the complete administrative autonomy of the higher education institutions

and the territory on which they were located. This measure had no other results than to turn up the revolutionary heat. I want to repeat, it was not a defeat. It's a very common misconception. the most brilliant people think I wrote an article on it. It wasn't a victory, but it certainly wasn't a defeat. Japanese did not get what they wanted. In Japan, it was perceived as Japanese defeat.

It was probably a draw. More casualties than they had expected. But the Russians were so far from their home base, and the Japanese were, of course, artificially built up by the British and to a lesser extent the Americans. The Japanese did not get what they wanted out of this war, which was provoked largely by the British and they needed this. The press then went into overdrive saying that they exaggerated the casualties.

Russia's humiliated. This government can't win a war. It has no legitimacy anymore. And of course, this would repeat itself in World War I, but it was not a defeat. It was a draw. It is thus, right, Senator Turo, that individuals having nothing to do with the scientific, with the scientific activity of these institutions were free to access them, and they did so,

for the purpose of political propaganda. At the University and Polytechnic of Kiev, a series of meetings were organized by the students to which participated an external audience, and they were called popular meetings. A more numerous day-to-day public went there. At the end of September, up to several thousand people. During these meetings, red flags were displayed. Passionate speeches were given about the deficiencies of the political regime in place on the necessity of fighting the government.

Funds were raised for the purchase of weapons. Leaflets were distributed and brochures on revolutionary propaganda were sold. In mid-October, the university as well as the Polytechnic Institute had gradually been transformed into arenas for open and unbridled anti-government propaganda. Revolutionary militants who were, until recently, prosecuted by the authorities for organizing clandestine meetings in private places, now felt invulnerable. They hatched and discussed plans to bring down the existing political system. But even this did not seem sufficient, and the revolutionary action begins its expansion by attracting the pupils of secondary schools,

in other words, high school pupils, and by moving the field of revolutionary activity. A Jewish students takes the floor to denounce the Kishinaev program, immediately leaflets are spread out in the room and cries are heard, down with the police, down with the autocracy. In some cases, at a meeting of the Society of Art and Literature, windows are broken. We break chairs and staircase ramps to throw them on peacekeepers. And there was no authority to prevent this. The university's autonomous now had their own law. I'm going to talk about a blunder. What a tremendously stupid thing to do. The universities, you know, there's something about the nature of a university that just

attracts the left. Every weirdo gets to be subsidized, you know, gets to have a captive audience. But part of the problem, we talked about this last month maybe, that Jews were going to the university, not for an education, but they were going there to promote leftist cityology. That was the case in the 1960s and 70s in America. Nothing has changed. It doesn't matter what the society is. It doesn't matter how healthy or unhealthy the society is. Universities do the same thing. It's a place where lives can be given an authority of alleged scholarship. There's a big difference between being an academia and being a scholar. I'm a scholar, but God knows I'm not an academic. And they require subsidies to function. We've talked about

this before. You know, I have a following. I am funded by my listeners, readers, whoever, these guys in the university, they couldn't survive without their subsidies if they, you know, they couldn't survive at all. They couldn't function at all. They need this. They don't speak for anybody. And that goes today. Most of the professors in universities could not do what I do. so making them autonomous, it gave them a sense of invulnerability. This was a key victory for the revolutionaries that came directly from the state.

And I don't think they knew, this probably comes from Vita, people around him. Dumo was involved, but people who knew, especially the Jewish essentially invasion of the universities, that schools, for one reason or another are always a huge pillar in the leftist movement. Universities or the academics and the press and propaganda, this is how they were forming

themselves. And I think because it's a controlled environment where they don't have to be affected by the real world. And so their theories somehow come to life and take it on a life of their own and could be believed by often very... impressionable young people. Right-wing students were harmed and hurt. The Jews, the Zionists were all over the place.

This is what comes from Vita's belief that all groups need to be treated equally. This is what comes from it. This is what comes from eliminating the quotas and everything else. Quotas had nothing to do with some blind hatred of the Jews. It was to keep the universities a place of learning and not as they had become a source of revolutionary violence. I think I'm going to read this last paragraph, and it looks like we have a place to stop after this paragraph.

Okay. The description of these events, supported by the statements of more than 500 witnesses, alternates throughout the report with remarks on the Jews who stand out in the background of this revolutionary crowd. During the years of the Russian Revolution in 1905 to 1907, the revolutionary activity of the Jews increased considerably. No doubt the novelty of the thing made it seem obvious.

The Jewish youth, the report says, dominated by numbers both at the September 9th meeting at the Polytechnic Institute and during the occupation of the premises of the Arts and Literary Society. And also, on September 23rd in the university hall, where up to 5,000 students and persons outside the university were gathered with more than 500 women among them. On October 3rd at the Polytechnic Institute, nearly 5,000 people gathered, with the Jewish majority of women. The preponderant role of the Jews is mentioned again and again. At the meetings of October 5th through 9th at the university meeting on October 12th, in which participated employees of the railway administration, students, individuals of indeterminate professions, as well as masses of Jews of both sexes.

On October 13th at the university, where nearly 10,000 people from diverse backgrounds gathered and speeches were delivered by S.R. and Bun Z.R. and Bun militants. The Jewish Encyclopedia confirms the fact that even beyond Kiev, during demonstration, celebrating new freedoms, most of the protesters in the Palo Settlement were Jews. However, it calls lies the information, according to which in Akaterinislav, they were collecting silver for the emperor's coffin in the street. And in Kiev, they lacerated the portraits of the emperor and the premises of the municipal Duma. Yet this last fact is precisely confirmed by the

Toro report. I think this is the first time we're hearing about women. Women have always been a huge part of leftist revolutionary thinking. They know how to manipulate men very easily. And I've seen this with my own eyes. We've seen the pro-immigrant protest in Europe. It's 80% female, white female. I've faced Antifa in the street.

Half a dozen times. And it's between 60 and 70% female. And so for the first time, now we're seeing that Jewish women or women in general who always love to go with fashion. They love fashion. They're conformists almost by nature. Are now a part of this. And we may get to, you know, Alexander Colomtei and her imposing the sexual revolution on Russia in the very early parts of the USSR under Lenin.

It was eventually abolished because it was such a disaster. Kolentai is someone, I'm pretty sure it's going to be mentioned here soon. But Jewish women love the idea of destroying or taking out their anger in terms of family life, especially their own, onto the society at large. So Jewish women were a huge part of this as well. And this is the first time we see this being mentioned. When you look at our history and you see violence on campuses, and then you look at this, are you seeing any parallels?

Am I seeing any parallels? I had to do that so straight face too. It was amazing. Wow. Yeah. very good straight man. Yeah, yeah, they're parallels. And this is what evidence is the same group of people.

It's the same mentality. You know, I've, there's nothing I haven't done in the nationalist movement at one time or another. The last, what, since 1990. I've gotten in all kinds of trouble, even as a student. There was always like a professor or two who really liked me that would step in. but they were in a process of expelling right-wing students all over the place. Any kind of retaliatory violence was seen as a mini-program, and hence they had to go. Universities were not, as like to say, 1969, 1970 in the U.S.

Yeah, universities always attracted this element. They always attracted the Jewish element. you know, professors, especially today, don't really work very much, at least in my field. I don't know about chemistry, things like that. It's a perfect place for them. You have a captive audience. It's a great place to lecture, not lecture in a scholarly sense, but in an academic sense, to manipulate everybody here. And leftist Jewish women are able to get plenty of men to all of a sudden discover

that their leftist too. You know, there's this, if I were, if I were a woman and a feminist, the last group of people that I would ever trust is male feminists. Well, there's very few, very attractive feminists out there, so maybe this isn't a big issue, but for the handful of it are, there's a reason that these men come around, not just low testosterone, well, that's part of it. But, you know, I understand, now let's sleep together.

I mean, you are sexual revolutionaries, right? So this angle, the female angle, the Jewish angle, the university angle, nothing has changed. It's the exact same playbook, especially when there's a war going on. Yeah, that's, I'm just reading that and it's just like, it's the same playbook over and over and over again, and people just keep falling for it. Yeah, pattern recognition seems to be, there seems to some sort of retardation. where people either because they can't or they won't see patterns. I'm surprised pattern recognition isn't banned in places. You know, because any idiot can see a pattern here.

It's all the same thing. But it would be okay if there was truth to some of this stuff. But there's not. Their whole world is based on fantasy. All of this stuff, most of the stuff they're saying wasn't true. They created it because universities are, You know, they're talking to each other. They're isolated, sequestered by design from the outside world.

Their ideology becomes truth. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. They're cut off. And the one thing that leftists are good at is censorship. You know, universally life is tightly censored. They don't have to worry about right-wing opinions. They don't even hear them. They have no idea what we say.

I know what they say, but they have no idea what we say. except in terms of caricature. That's also a weakness because they're pretty soft intellectually. They're not used to hearing any real opposition, competent opposition. The pattern is exactly the same. All right. Until the next time, everybody head on over to the show notes and head on over, especially the videos.

I have hot links to, like Dr. Johnson said, just a few minutes ago, he relies on listener support and I have links there where you can do that. So yeah, thank you, Dr. Johnson. Thank you, my friend. I'll talk to you later. Talk to you later. Goodbye. I want to welcome everyone back to part 39 of our reading of 200 years together by Alexander Solzhenyson. How you doing, Dr. Johnson? You know, the infamous Stanley, the Manly, my 10-year-old orange cat, big, big boy. who used to be MI6, but, you know, just got too lazy, terrible student. He's just been, he comes in, he meows to go out.

He's out, he meows to come in. It's been five times now. And since I'm incapable of saying no to him, you know, he's driving me crazy. So far, though, he's out and I haven't heard him yet. He really, he has me in the palm of his hand. He's a very powerful feline. And so if you hear any meowing in the background, that's it. They're much more wily than canines.

Canines just hypnotize you with their love and devotion for you. Cats are constantly plotting and it's amazing to watch. Well, cats are completely self-sufficient. Yeah, they're social, but they hunt by themselves. They have everything they need just in their being. Dogs form packs, and the different members of the pack to have different jobs. Cats have to do everything. And so that means, you know, that's where their intelligence comes from compared to canines. All righty. Moving on page 219. Here we go. In Kiev, in October,

the revolutionary movement was gaining momentum. Alexander Schlichter, future Bolshevik leader, specialist in flower requisitions and agriculture commissioner in Ukraine just before the great organized famine, fomented a southwestern rail strike paralyzing the trains to Potova, Kursk, Vorenich, and Moscow. Threats were made to force the workers of the Kiev Mechanical Construction Factory to go on strike on the 12th of October. At the university, exceptional collections for armaments took place. The participants drew gold coins, banknotes, silverware, a lady even offered her earrings. Flying detachments were formed with the mission of interrupting by force the work in high schools to factories to transports to commerce and to prepare the armed resistance to the forces of order.

The whole movement had to take to the street. On the 14th of October, the newspapers ceased to appear, with the exception of the Kievian, aligned on the right, only the telegrams relating to the liberation movement were allowed to pass. The flying detachments prevented the trams from rolling, breaking their windows. Some passengers were wounded. At the first appearance of the agitators, everything was closed. Everything stopped. The post office closed this doors after a bomb threat.

Streams of students and pupils were converging towards the university at the call of Schlichter, as well as young Jews of various professions. Well, I'd rather keep talking about cats, to be honest, this paragraph summarizes the left revolutionary movement of any location. As I've said 100 times before, the economy was doing fairly well, so they had to invent problems. The very act of a strike would create economic problems, which they can blame on someone else. This is not the first, certainly not the only time that they had to threaten. workers to go on strike. Jews were so embedded in some of these corporations

and they were connected to the revolutionary movement because they knew they were going to even do better with them what we talked about when the Lena Goldfields had excellent positions in the Bolshevik state. Somehow they became proletarians in their mentality. But forcing the workers to strike, bomb threats,

disrupting everything and then they dare claim that they're speaking in the name of the people. They create the situation that creates as much confusion in chaos as possible, which itself creates a circumstance of suggestibility. That gives the impression that there's something wrong when, in fact, there really wasn't. This is as much psychological as it is physical. And this is how the Soviet Union was going to function when it came into existence, especially in the first 30, 40 years.

The entire thing was manipulative. This had nothing to do with labor. This had nothing to do with unions. It had nothing to do with strengths. These were just means of gaining power. Because when you have a centrally planned economy, which is necessary, if you're not going to have a market, that's pretty much your only other option between the two systems.

There are other options, of course. But, you know, they don't believe in guilds or anything. So central planning was part of the Leninist agenda and Trotsky's agenda. That automatically implies that the party owns everything. If you could plan how they function, you must either own or control it, which means these are incredibly wealthy men. The party did own everything of any value in the USSR. That was really the point of the revolution.

Alexander Schlichter, you know, it seems funny to be this flower recognition. But you know damn well how important that is. But flower requisitions in creation of bread, Agriculture Commissioner in Ukraine, I don't think he ever saw a farm. One of the worst aspects, and there are so many, but one of the more obnoxious aspects of Jewish bolivism

is that they were taking over agricultural regions, planning things. They didn't know the, as we know just from reading this book, they didn't know the first thing about farming and that they're setting policy. and killing farmers for not going along with it. Then, you know, they knew this was going to create famine. They knew the West was going to feed them.

They knew that they had plenty of money. That wasn't the issue. Famine actually served their interests. Widrow Wilson only stopped food aid coming to the early USSR when they seemed to behave like czars. That's a direct quote from him. I'll say that a few more times too because it blows me away. That was the only time you saw anti-Bolivism.

And keep in mind, too, I guarantee you the number of people in the Western world who knew what Bolivism was, maybe not at this point, within a few years, is very few. It was really only when the Russians went into exile that Russian culture and Orthodoxy and this kind of understanding was exported and brought to the West. I mean, I am who I am because of the exiled Russians who created this outreach to non-Russians, with the Russian Orthodox Church in exile, Russian Orthodox Church abroad, et cetera. So it seems funny, you know, agricultural minister or a commissioner, and he's only one of many.

None of these Jews had any idea what a farm was or what to do on it. They may have owned one. They may have controlled one, but they had no connection with farming what. And this is why they were starving. But this, they weren't starving, but everyone else, the William were. This paragraph, really, it sets the tone for how revolutionaries function everywhere. It was then the authorities took the first steps. It was forbidden to meet in the streets and in public squares.

And the coordinating off by the army of the university in the Polytechnic took place in order for only the students to be allowed in. Arrest of a few individuals for contempt of the police. and the army of some SR and Social Democrats, of the lawyer Ratner, who had actively participated in popular meetings, Schlichter, him, had taken off. The trams began to circulate again. The shops reopened their doors, and in Kiev, the days of the 16th and 17th of October, went by peacefully. It was in this context, which was that of many other places in Russia, that the emperor, relying on the gratitude of the population, launched on October 17th, the manifest. Establishing the liberties and a parliamentary system of government.

The news reached Kiev by telegram on the night of the 18th and in the morning of the text of the manifesto was sold or distributed in the streets of the city. As for the newspaper the Kievan, Jewish student youth rushed to buy it and immediately tear it ostensibly into pieces. The authorities ordered ipso facto the release of both those who had been arrested in the last days and those who had previously been charged. with assault on the security of the state, with the exception, however, of those who had used explosives. Both the police and the army had deserted the streets, important rallies were formed, at first calmly. In the vicinity of the university, there was a large crowd of students, high school pupils, and a significant number of young Jews of both sexes. Giving way to their demand, the rector had the portal of the main building opened. Immediately, the Great Hall was

invaded by a part of the crowd which destroyed the portraits of the emperor, tore up the red hangings to make flags and banners, and some noisely invited the public to kneel before Schlichter by virtue of victim of arbitrariness. If those who were near him actually fell on their knees, another part of the public considered that all that had just taken place was offensive to their national sentiments. Then the crowd went to the municipal Duma, and at its head Schlichter pranced around on a horse, displaying a red band and at every halt herang the crowd, claiming that the struggle against the government was not over. Meanwhile, in the Nicholas Park, the Jews had thrown a rope around the statue of Emperor Nicholas I, and tried to overthrow it from its pedestal. At another place, Jews wearing red bands began to insult four soldiers who passed by, spitting on them.

The crowd threw stones on a patrol of soldiers, wounding six, and two demonstrators were hit by the firing of a reaper. Repos, is that ripo, how do you pronounce that word? Do you know? Reposta, I guess, yeah. Reposta. Reposta. However, the interim mayor was visited by a group of peaceful citizens who asked for the opening of the meeting room of the municipal council so that the grateful protesters could express their feelings about the manifesto. Their request was met and a peaceful rally was held under the presidency of the municipal counselor, Sheftel. but a new wave, many thousands of people wearing red badges and ribbons flocked in. It was made up of students, people of different social classes, age, sex, and condition, but the Jews were especially noted for it.

One party burst into the meeting room, the others occupied the square in front of the Duma. In a moment, all the national flags which had decorated the Duma on the occasion of the manifesto were torn out and replaced by red and black banners. At that time, a new procession approached, carrying an arm's length, carrying at arm's length the lawyer Ratner, who had just gotten out of prison. He called the crowd to release all the other prisoners. On the balcony of the Duma, Schlichter publicly embraced him. For his part, the latter exhorted the populations to go on a general strike and pronounced insulting

words addressed to the person of the sovereign. In the meantime, the crowd had torn the emperor's portraits, hung in the assembly hall of the Duma, and broken the emblems of imperial power which had been placed on the balcony for the festivities. There was no doubt that these acts were perpetrated by both Russians and Jews. A Russian worker had even begun to break the crown. Some demanded that it should be put back in its place, but a few moments later it was again thrown to the ground, this time by a Jew who then broke it in half of the letter N. Another young man, Jewish in appearance, then attacked the jewels of the deodum.

All the furniture of the Duma was shattered. the administrative documents torn. Schlichter directed the operations. In the corridors, money was collected for unknown purposes. Excitement in front of the Duma, however, only increased, perched on the roof of stationary trains. Orators delivered fiery speeches, but it was Rattner and Schlichter who were the most successful from the balcony of the Duma. An apprentice of the Jewish nationality began shouting from the balcony, down with the

autocracy. Another Jew, properly dressed, same to the swine. another Jew who had cut the Tsar's head from the picture, reproducing him, introduced his own by the orifice thus formed, and began to yell at the balcony, I am the Tsar. The building of the Duma passed completely into the hands of the revolutionary socialist extremists, as well as the Jewish youth who had sympathized with them, losing all control of itself. These are the people who are going to save the Russians and serve the interests of the proletariat. labor was the last thing that they ever cared about. I'm sure they can get, you know, Russian workers, whoever that might have been, to mess around like this.

I guarantee you there was no ideological reason for it. It was just fun. But, you know, this is why even the moderate left, such as they are, to this day still supports this kind of thing. You go to a university campus and declare you're a Leninist. That's fine. Become a professor. you get promoted. No one says a word to you or a Maoist. And the reason is stuff like this. This is why they love these guys. Murder is not a problem for the left. You know, if you have an understanding of humanity where there is no soul, there is no mind, there's only a brain where nothing more than evolved nerve endings, then who cares if there's 100,000 in the world or 50,000 in the world? Ultimately, it's just pure utilitarianism. That's why I can.

killing is not really a big deal. It would be for us. For anyone to say, you know, and this kind of Jewish behavior, you saw this during the Vietnam War, you see it everywhere. For anyone to say that the revolutionary movement in general, of course, we're talking about specific Russian variant of it, you have a little bit more than 10 years to go before 1917, Anyone who says that is being completely dishonest. Because at the time, everyone was aware of it. Liberals, I mean, you had plenty of Russian liberals. And how they conceived liberalism is probably very different than how it's conceived today.

Academia has this issue. There's a book out called Three Russian Liberals. And I've read it. And they're all very, very conservative writers, except that they were opposed to the monarchy as it stood. That to them was liberalism. So they'd have simply attached that name to everyone who had a problem with the monarchy or Nicholas II, even a policy here and there.

I've actually talked about this at some length elsewhere. But this kind of childish, mindless behavior from a privileged group of people, none of these people were poor. This proves, you know, in my book, the Soviet experiment, one of theses that I sent out to prove is that labor, workers, that's, you know, they're an excuse. They're a pretext for power. Not the reason.

And they didn't care. They were exploited mercilessly from the minute the USSR was founded until the very end, far worse than any kind of capitalist society, until they were very similar to each other. It's also interesting that Schlichter sounds like someone who should be talked about more. And other than this book and a handful of others, he doesn't, he doesn't get mentioned. but this is typical of your um of of of the Jewish mentality then and now this deep hatred that they had of a of a country that as we know has been nothing but wonderful to them whether we're talking about America or or Russia we've been through all these crazy commissions and the

money that they've received everything and they had to invent the story of these programs somehow now with zero evidence, implicate the government in it. I mean, they just made up evidence, and people over time believed it because they heard it so many times. That's how you created a unified Jewish revolutionary movement. The only opposition was some, as we talked about last time, some religious Jews and some Jews who didn't like the fact that it was going to bring down a lot of heat on them, but otherwise, they were good with it. They did function as not just like a mafia cult within society. It's like in the 1990s in Russia, the difference between the Russian mafia, your typical, I'm sorry, the Jewish mafia, Jewish oligarchs, Jewish politicians, there was no real difference. They were all one and the same there. That's how they always function. You had a Jewish revolution in 1917 and another Jewish revolution in 1991, from 1991 to 2000.

it didn't matter what the pretext was. They all did the same kind of thing. And the one consistent aspect of it is that they hated the concept of Russia, certainly the third Rome, any kind of a monarch, any kind of a nationalism except their own. But this was very typical. They did the same thing in the French Revolution. Well, of course, the context was very different there.

Jews weren't nearly as heavily involved in that revolution as they were in the Russian one. But, you know, going into the, in Petersburg, smearing excrement on paintings, that this was this was a, you know, unfortunately a typical Jewish behavior having going on for some time. And this was all because the emperor listened to the liberals

issued a manifesto for certain liberties that already existed anyway and a elected parliament that privileged only the very wealthy, of course, that in giving in and issuing that, they just hated him all the more. He even released some of these people from prison, thinking that he's dealing with rational people.

I've used the phrase, you know, normal people. They're not normal people, at least not when they're in, not just a, you know, this is the ultimate Gentile society. It's the Russian one, especially with, you know, the monarchy, the third Rome. Germany and Russia, those are the two, you know, ultimate, you know, worst, you know, Gentiles as far as the Jews were concerned. Something as large and powerful as Russia,

it had to get out of the way. This is why there was this intense ritual when Tsar Nicholas was murdered. And does it surprise you that they murdered him? And what they did with this kind of behavior, is it a big shock? These are the people

who are going to bring Russia into enlightenment by doing things like this? They were telling the world what they were. really were. And of course, the Tsar's going to respond, and that response will be condemned by liberals locally as well as in Britain in America, with no context, of course. What Solzhenitsyn is saying here, you know how rare it is to find this stuff in English? These issues, the Russian

revolution is not depicted this way in mainstream history textbooks, not even close to it, the nonsense about the Russian economy being garbage, about, you know, the oppression, everything. This is straight out of their propaganda, which they took many years ago as fact, and to this day, is not being challenged except by me and people like me. So this bizarre behavior came precisely because Nicholas did something that the liberals wanted. but because he appeared weak in so doing, this was their reaction. And it's very, you know, Nicholas was in a tough position. He was getting all kinds of conflicting advice. But he thought he could reason with them.

And this isn't about rationality. These people weren't telling the world in detail what the planned economy was going to be in the gulags and everything else. They probably knew what was going to happen at some level. But they weren't going to say it. but this was an intensely symbolic statement to Russian and world society this is who we are

and this is what we're going to do and when World War I broke out unfortunately and this is something that Rasputin had predicted that if you enter this war you're never coming out of it and they needed that war to create enough chaos

even though the economy did well during World War I actually it grew but with the death and the and the trauma, they were able to use that to their advantage and take over the country, essentially in a coup d'etat in Petersburg. But, of course, they had this kind of behavior.

They had no support. You had mentally ill. There's a reason that revolutionaries always empty the prisons when they take over. There's a very good reason for that. They tried to do that during COVID, too, if you remember. The French revolutionaries did it too. the mentally ill and these Jews Leftyke Middav talks about when he was one of the few Gentiles

as part of the people's will organization who became a royalist Ivan Eileen talks about the mentality of these people all the time and just but this was a this was a communication based on not something terrible that happened he didn't go shoot a Jew somewhere

no he gave in a pretty major way. And this was their response. And they represented, what, less than 1% of the population? They didn't even represent all Jews necessarily. But this is the bunch that took over in 1917. And the Western history textbooks have sanitized it and centered the reality such that it is an absolute hallucination of the make-believe history concerning this. This is one of the first times, a major writer in, you know, now it's been translated. He's a writing. in English, but a major writer now in English with mainstream credentials, more than mainstream credentials, finally put this stuff out. And that's why they were terrified of this book,

and they tried to ban it. They tried to do everything. God knows what the official translation is going to be. We talked about that before. So the last couple paragraphs, this is really summarizing everything about what was going to happen, especially in the early USSR. Reading ahead and looking at the next paragraph. He basically is making the point I want to make is that they're children. They act like children. They act like maniacs. They act like monsters.

They mock. They do what children do. And then when right-wing forces, whether it be the Black Hundreds, whether it be the National Socialists fighting the communists in the streets in Germany in the interwar period, whether it be the Catholics and the nationalists in Spain, whenever they fight back, they're referred to as revolutionaries. And it's like, no, they're not revolutionaries. They're just stopping this.

They're stopping this mockery of order. They're stopping this mockery of civilization. They're stopping this mockery of a culture that brings about order. They seek chaos. and when I hear people go, oh, well, you know, World War II was just, you know, one, one authoritarian side, fighting another authoritarian side for control over who could be the authoritarian. Well, fuck you. Yeah. Well, I mean, really, go fuck yourself.

You are, you, any, anybody, yeah, go ahead. You are a, you, if that's your argument, you're low, you're low IQ, you're beneath me. I don't want to talk to you. Unfortunately, you know, I had to. talk to them. Any scholar who actually would say that seriously either simply doesn't know because he doesn't have access to the information or he realizes that the price is too high to know. Yeah, like you're talking at national socialism, international socialism or Leninism, they don't have much in common. Postmodern capitalism and Leninism, they do have quite a bit in

common. And of course, national socialism is, you know, very specific to a time period and everything, although it did have generalized principles. You usually have, you know, these amateur historians, the people who watch the history channel, and that's where they get this nonsense. So one totalitarian system fighting another totalitarian system. And yet it's strange that in popular culture in the U.S., In Europe, you go to jail for supporting national socialism. International socialism, they took over the universities. And of course, Judaism was a huge part of that too. Yeah, they're beneath you.

They have a cushy gig. They have the easiest job in the world. And the only thing they really have to do is conform. I used to say, excuse me, I used to say to these guys, especially on the way out, I said, you, you've did all the work to get a doctoral degree. You took your doctoral exams. You were years in school. You struggled on the job market, especially if there was a man.

Women don't have to worry. You struggled on the job market. You taught here, you know, six years and got tenure. And you did it all for what? To repeat the same things that everyone else is saying? Is it a coincidence that your point of view on this stuff is the point of view of every other academic, every think tank, every government agency. Is that just a wild coincidence?

And of course, you know, what are they going to say to that? So that's my version of what you said. And it is an outrage. It's lazy thinking. It's not really, it's short-circuited thinking. And to this day, you know, the Western media would take their press releases as if it was fact. And a scholar who's supposed to tear that stuff apart also takes it as fact

or the academic in the West. Oh, they want to support labor. Oh, they must have a lot of support in labor unions. No, they didn't. And this sort of nonsense proves it. This was a demented, almost a demonic expression of hatred. And that's why this stuff is kept out of the press.

You imagine how people would would react if these things were even mentioned in a university classroom. I would have no clue how people would react to that. I would have no idea whatsoever. But if someone did do that, I mean, I'm not talking about me at all, but if someone did do that, you know, you would get a tremendous reaction. Students loved it and it changes them. Not as a, you know, you're not editorializing.

You're simply pointing out the facts. describing it as Sultan Eaton did. But, of course, everyone else has this huge, huge problem with it. Even mentioning this stuff in Europe gets you a prison sentence or even less than that. The very fact that you can be a Stalinist or, you know, maybe only because he was allegedly anti-Semitic, which he was not. But you can go, you know, support Stalin's policies, support Mao's policies, be a part of a Maoist organization on campus. and get promoted and and and you're called a community activist but if you say one thing one thing positive to for out of Hitler or or even um Francisco Franco or Salazar or someone

like that you're in serious trouble and especially if you're a white male professor you have nowhere to go um and and you're right you're right to react that way it's ignorance it's an enforced ignorance, but there might be some of them who actually know it's true, but hate the fact they know it's true, because they know they can't say it. All right. Onward. Yeah. I dare say that something stupid and evil has revealed itself in this frantic jubilation,

the inability to remain within certain limits. What then prompted these Jews in the midst of the delirious plebs to trample so brutally what the people still venerated. Aware of the precarious situation of their people and their families on October 18th and 19th, they could not, in dozens of cities, refrain from embarking in such events with such passion to the point of becoming its soul and sometimes its main actors. Let us continue reading the Turo report. Quote, respect for the national sentiment and the symbols venerated by the people was forgotten, as if a part of the population did not shy away from the people.

any means of expressing its contempt. The indignities carried out to the portraits of the emperor and excited an immense popular emotion. Cries came from the crowd gathered in front of the Duma. Who has dethroned the Tsar? Others wept. Without being a prophet, one could foresee that such offenses would not be forgiven to the Jews.

Voices rose to express astonishment at the inaction of the authorities here. Of the authorities. Here and there, in the crowd, they began to shout, we must break some kikes. Near the Duma, the police and infantry company stood idly by. At that moment, a squadron of dragoons appeared briefly, greeted by shots from the windows in the balcony of the Duma. They began to bombard the infantry company with stones and bottles to blast it from all sides. The Duma, the stock exchange, the crowd of demonstrators. Several soldiers were wounded. The captain gave orders to open fire. There were seven dead and 130 wounded.

The crowd dispersed, but on the evening of the 18th of October, the news of the degradation committed on the emperor's portraits of the crown, the emblems of the monarchy, the national flag circled the city and spread into the suburbs. Small groups of passers by, mostly workers, craftsmen, merchants who commented on the event with animation put the full responsibility for them on the Jews, who always stood out clearly from the other demonstrators. In the Padol district, the workers' crowd decided to seize all the Democrats, who had fomented the disturbances and placed them in a state of arrest pending the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.

In the evening, a first group of demonstrators gathered in the Alexander Plaza, brandishing the portrait of the emperor and singing the national anthem. The crowd grew rapidly, and as many Jews returned from the Kretacek with red insignia in the buttonhole, they were taken for the perpetrators of the disorders, perpetrated in the Duma, and became the target of aggression. Some were beaten. This was already the beginning of the pogrom against the Jews. Well, really, at this point, can you blame them?

This is going to be, they had every reason, you know, they knew it was a Jews. Many of them saw this. This shows you how popular Nicholas was. this explains a lot of the policies of of lennon afterwards lennon and trotsky that they knew that they were unpopular they knew that this behavior would typify them they knew how jewish their movement was and therefore they had to do everything in their power to crush any possible form of opposition which the war made a lot easier and of course they lied about their agenda on top of it you know and when anyone when anyone disagrees especially if they're trying to be nice about it

you know there's a million sites where we have the list of the names of the first Soviet I forget the exact numbers like it was like three out of 350 317 were Jews you give them the list of names and you say okay you change your mind now and of course you're going to say no okay so facts don't matter I've only been able to do that this one time. Sure, I'll send you the list of names, but I guarantee you it's not going to change your mind because it's not about reason or about facts or about logic. It's about who has power. So this is this book and what we're talking about here is as much to do with what happened then as about what we have to deal with now because we're the only ones talking like this.

They have someone like Schultz and Eason on our side about this kind of thing. having these descriptions that don't exist, you know, unfortunately, the Russian exiles didn't do English very well. And they lived in their own little worlds. I was able to penetrate it. I know a few people who have, once they come to trust you, it's okay, this is a long time ago. That generation is largely gone.

But, you know, unlike the Jews who were able to take over entire areas, is through the media. So, you know, that shows you how, the whole thing shows you that the system was supported, that the common people, especially the common workers, support it, Zarnikolas. Of course, you're always going to have a problem with the government here and there. I mean, that's the nature of life. But when you have a specific group of people who are clearly involved with these kind of outrages, you're going to take action against them when no one else is.

and this was a huge it's so frustrating to read this stuff so now the security forces such as they were now they have there's a three-sided war it's like Northern Ireland sometimes it's a three-sided war security forces have problems with both signs

now and the manifesto again that's the cause of all at least at this time breaking some kikes well you know that's what they're that's what the kikes are saying about you so I suppose it's irrational

response. This is a matter of self-defense. This is like the white blood cells in the human body going after a pathogen because they had shown themselves to be a pathogen. Now, to understand both the unpardonable inaction of the authorities during the sacking of the Duma and the destruction of the national emblems, but also there are even more unpardonable inaction during the program itself, one has to take a look at what was happening within the organs of power. At first glance, one might think it was a result of a combination of circumstances. but their accumulation has been such in Kiev as well as in other places that one cannot fail to discern the mismanagement of the imperial administration of the last years, the consequences of which were fatal. As for the governor of Kiev, he was simply absent. Vice-Governor Rafalski had just taken office, had not had time to find his bearings, and lacked confidence in the exercise of temporary responsibilities. Above him, Governor General Klegals, who had authoritative,

party over a vast region had from the beginning of October taken steps to be released from his duties for health reasons. His real motivations remain unknown and is not excluded that his decision was dictated by the bubbling revolution of September, which he did not know how to control. In any case, he, too, considered himself as temporary, while in October, the directives of the Ministry of the Interior continued to rain on him. October 10th, take the most energetic measures to prevent disorder in the street and put an end to it by all means in case they occur. 12th. Repressed street demonstrations do not hesitate to use armed force. 13. Do not tolerate any rally or gatherings in the street and if necessary, disperse them by force.

On October 14th, as we have seen, the unrest in Kiev had crossed a dangerous limit. Cleggles brought together his close collaborators, including the chief of police, Colonel Sikotsky and the deputy head of security. Again, the leader was absent, Kulyabika. Kulyapka. A man as agitated as he was ineffective, the very one who, by stupidity, was about to expose Styl Yappen to the blows of his assassin. From the panicked report of the latter stemmed the possibility not only of demonstrations of armed police in the streets of Kiev, but also an armed insurrection. Klegels, therefore, renounced reliance on the police, put in place to provisions for recourse to the armed forces to assist the civil authorities, and on October 14th, handed over his full powers to the military command, more precisely to the commander, on a temporary basis once again.

The commander himself is absent, but it must be said that the situation is anything but worrying. From the Kiev military region, the General Karras, the responsibility for security in the city was entrusted to General Drake. Is it not comical enough? Which of his, which of the surnames that have just been enumerated make it possible to suppose that the action is taking place in Russia? General Krauss found himself in a particular, in a particularly difficult situation. insofar as he did not know the data of the situation nor of the staff of the administration of the police. By giving him his powers, General Klegels did not consider it necessary to facilitate the work of his successor. He can find himself to respecting forms and at once ceased to deal with anything.

The most important thing to reiterate, and I've said this before for people who are just kind of tuning in or forgotten, Russia didn't have your typical well-developed urban police force at this point. You had something of a prison system, but nothing like you had in the West. You know, this was an empire. This was an empire based on medievalist and still nationalist terms. And, you know, this sort of thing they weren't prepared for. the police forces were you know the bureaucracy itself was fairly small compared with with the West

so it's very easy to overwhelm them especially when you know at a time you don't really have modern crowd control and you know the Jews here like to what we call entryism if there's a legitimate grievance they like to insert themselves into it and then slowly take it over and direct it. And so people think that it's, you know, the original, but, but, you know, that's what happened on Bloody Sunday. It's what happened in the gold mines. This kind of hijacking is something they did very well. So they made it seem like they were more powerful or more popular than they

than they really were. They had tremendous powers of persuasion. Unfortunately, the state didn't. And so that's why they called the military in. And when you have relatively small ministries or bureaus like you had at this point with some confusion at the top and you have this hit you know this isn't something that that they're used to the the program you know and the state can't be neutral here the state has friends and it has enemies those in the street who are their friends you should treat them as friends um and that's really you know and that's something that I don't think they thought they could do. I remember when I was at Charlottesville, I said to a state trooper,

there was a few others too. I said, you know, we're the only ones here that don't want to kill you. The left wants you dead. We don't. In other words, figure out who your friends are. And again, the lack of propaganda, the left blew them away in terms of propaganda, in terms of propaganda, in terms of organization. And this goes down in the history books now,

as a pogrom against Jews without any context. I know exactly how this is described. And when I came across this book and other Russian texts saying the same kind of thing, my mind was blown entirely. This changes everything. The entire history, mainstream history of this era, has to be completely rewritten. It is now time to talk about the chief of police, Sikotsky. As early as 1902, an administrative inspection had revealed that he concealed the practice of extortion

of the Jews in exchange for the right of residence. It was also discovered that he lived above his means, that he had bought, as well as for his son-in-law, properties worth 100,000 rubles. It was considered that he be brought to justice when Cleggles was appointed Governor General, very quickly, and of course not without having received a large bribe. The latter intervened so that Sokotsky was kept at his post and even obtained a promotion in the title of general. Regarding the promotion, it did not work, but there were no penalties either, although General Trepoff had been working towards this end from Petersburg. Sikotky was informed at the beginning of October that Cleggles had asked to leave his post at the end of the month.

His morale fell even lower. He saw himself already condemned. And on the night of the 18th of October, at the same time as the Imperial Manifesto, the official confirmation of the retirement of Klegels came from St. Petersburg. Skoski now had nothing to lose. Another detail, even though the situation was so troubled, Cleggles left his post even before the arrival of his successor, who was none other than the pearl of the imperial administration,

General Sukomlanov. The future Minister of Defense, who scuttled the preparations for war against Germany. As for the functions of Governor General, they were temporarily assumed by the aforesafe, said General Keras. And it was thus that there was no rapid termination of the confusion that had settled within the police after the handing over a power to the army, but that it only increased to manifest itself with the greatest acuity during the disorders. The fact that

Klegals had renounced his full powers, and that these had been handed over for an indefinite period in the military authorities, to the military authorities of the city of Kiev is mainly at the origin of the uncertain mutual relations, which later established themselves between civil authorities and military authorities. The extent and limits of the power of the army were not known to anybody, and this vagueness led to a general disorganization of services. Don't forget, the revolutionaries were at this point getting tremendous amounts of money from abroad, especially from Britain. Revolutionary movement had offices in London. They have they've had that for a long time, to a lesser extent, in Switzerland.

Remember, I think it was maybe a week ago, one of these terrorists had fled to Italy, and they refused to hand him over. He had already been convicted of terrorism, but because they despise the Russian government so much, or the monarchy so much, they refused to, you know, he was one of theirs. That has to be kept in mind. The revolutionaries were small. They were very ethnically based.

But they had media support, not just locally, but also, especially in Great Britain. It wasn't until World War I that they were getting money from the German High Command from banks in New York City. At least Lenin was. Trotsky was not. Trotsky had his own Jewish connection. But that just increased it. But they always had foreign money and foreign weapons throughout this period of time. If there were no Jews, none of this would have been going on. Let's do this last paragraph, and we'll start again at the very long paragraph after it.

Okay. This manifested itself from the beginning of the pogrom against the Jews. Many police officers were convinced that the power had been fully handed over its military command and that only the army was competent to act and to repress the disorders. That is why they did not feel concerned by the disorders which took place in their presence. As for the Army, referring to an article of the provisions on the use of the armed forces to assist the civil authorities, it was awaiting indications from the police, considering with reason that it was not its responsibility to fulfill the missions of the latter. These provisions stipulated precisely that the civil authorities present at the scene of the disorders should guide the joint action of the police and the Army with a view to their repression. It was also up to civil authorities to determine when to use force.

Moreover, Klegels had not considered it useful to inform the military command about the situation in the city, nor had he told it what he knew about the revolutionary movement in Kiev. And this is what made units of the army begin to scour the city aimlessly. You start wondering if this is merely incompetence. Yeah, this was kind of a new phenomenon in Russia. And certainly with the Jewish angle, it was a very different phenomenon. It always reminds me of Northern Ireland when the army was sent in. That connection, you know, storm on one hand in the army and the other, they work well. But that kind of separation of powers, this was not something they had developed.

They never needed to develop it. So even when it came to organized force, there was so much confusion. And keep in mind that when World War I broke out, 1917 happened, one of the reasons that Bolsheviks were so easily, took over St. Petersburg said there was no soldiers there. They were elsewhere. There was like a very small Volkstrom type of a much older

reservists there who didn't really do much. There was no military to stop that. The white government was so, the provisional government was so weak and so dependent on the

entrant for everything that there was, was no law enforcement. That just allowed the Bolsheviks of simply walk into an office and take it over. Now, of course, that wasn't the case here. This is going to change in World War I, which is why it's so important to have a huge war where everyone is focused elsewhere, especially when you lie about, you know, how the war is going. You have the exact same problem in the U.S. during Vietnam. They made up stories. The MyLye Masker was a myth. I did a whole paper on it. Kent State, complete myth. I did a, you know, well, it's part of a much larger paper at the time. I wrote in the 1960s, even though it was early 70s.

The media, foreign money, chaos, a war, and the media is important because he could lie about the war. And that's how this revolution took place. And when they took over, the last thing they gave a damn about, were your workers and certainly your peasants who many of them were liquidated shortly thereafter

and of course every revolution has civil war after it which is part of an aspect of almost inherent to revolution when it's successful civil war breaks out and of course it happened in Russia too it never quite ended

didn't end really until the 30s and some of those same counter-revolutionaries helped the Germans when they invaded, which is really the only help the last hope they had, or Europe had, for getting rid of this mentality. The transfer agreement of Zionism should come in handy here, but I'll still say

it had some impressive intellectuals behind it. Zionist movement was very small at this period of time. That would have been the right thing to do. it's easy to again to look back and and and give instructions but making some deal with the Turks and to expel the Jews there that would have that would have possibly caused a war with Britain and France well I frankly think it would have been worth it that was I think the only the only way they could have solved this problem on the other hand that would have led to a huge amount of money and trade going abroad because by this point they had a monopolized a lot of that so as always the state is

in a terrible position. And what Nicholas had going for him is he was popular. He was popular not just as a man, but also his policies. What he didn't have going for him was a media, especially after the 1905 manifesto, that was now empowered to make up stories about him. It's absolutely useless for when it comes to information about him. This is where the whole Rasputin mythology came from. just a way to mock Nicholas.

And some of that stuff is still repeated as fact today. American academics will believe anything so long as it supports the leftistidiology. Why they believe the left of cityology is a whole separate matter. But this wasn't a pogrom against the Jews. This was self-defense. And you've already said it yourself. And people who don't understand that are idiots.

They're either just ignorant. They can't put it together or they don't want to know. Yeah, the one of the things I'm probably most excited for or just, you know, here, I assume a lot of people who are watching this and listening to this just see the parallels to today, you know, whether it be, you know, the, basically the hijacking of the American government and, you know, the way they just plug people in who are just there to do their bidding, whether they're being paid off. or whether they're being blackmailed, whether it be the 2020 riots, whatever it may be. It's the same thing over and over again, and we allow them to get away with it.

And so many people are either bought off or brainwashed into believing that, you know, these are just normal white people who, you know, are just successful and you're jealous of their success. Yeah. They can't see it. They can't see that this is, if you want to look at, you know, so much, I'm not going to blame it all on them because I'm not a Zionist. Of course.

Anyone who, anyone who blames, anyone who says the Jews are behind everything is a bigger Zionist than Benjamin Netanyahu. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you really need to check your premises as far as and really examine things. But the fact that there are, there are so many, you know, white Americans. Americans and Anglos who are willing to jump in, you know, dive in front of a bullet for these people, metaphorically or, you know, in reality. Yeah, in reality, it just, once you see this, you cannot unsee it. And if you, if you see it and your immediate reaction is to defend them,

we don't really have anything in common. And you're not on, you're definitely not on my side. Well, cognitive dissonance is a nasty thing to deal with because of my readers and listeners who support me financially. I don't have cognitive dissonance. I do precisely what I want. I believe precisely where the truth leads me. I don't have to worry about irritating this person or irritating that person. That's a wonderful feeling that very few academics could share.

You know, but I'm hoping that cognitive dissonance can become such a problem that either they're going to drop out or they're just going to come out and say it. You know, you Michael Jones and myself, we've had very soon, he's much older than me, but we've had very similar career trajectories. We were good at what we did in the academy, but we obviously couldn't last there. And for very, you know, not like we preached to anything. They preach to their students. We never did. But even asking questions. Now, a sociopath doesn't have to worry about cognitive dissonance because there is no truth

or falsehood or good or evil. It's all just self-interest. It doesn't bother them. But I say for the majority of the population, cognitive dissonance is a problem, which is why censorship and having this stuff sanitized is so important to the academic. maybe the old generation knew better, but these young guys coming in, I don't know if they know.

I don't know if they could really summarize our point of view, even if they're in this field properly. Because I don't think they know it. And that gives us a certain advantage. So, and then on top of it, now you have the behavior of Netanyahu. You have the behavior of the Israelis. It was, at least for a little while, mainstream.

to condemn the Israeli government and even Zionism. They did some damage control. But, you know, if the comment sections on, like, say, YouTube weren't censored, even what gets through is pretty good. People like us, we're growing. People are seeing it even just logically, if not empirically. It's really hard. The regime isn't really hiding much anymore.

on. But if you're a white male who kind of knows this stuff and you're in the academy, you are going to suffer because cognitive dissidents is a horrible affliction. You just feel dishonest and dirty. Sultan Easton talks about it and really all his works concerning the Soviet Union because you had bureaucrats who would spout, you know, some Leninist slogan they knew was false. They either ended up in the gulag or they just suffered. And that's, so don't forget the psychological aspect of all of this. And that's why the centering of the web was so extremely important. Because we could give the list of names to our opponents. And you know, damn well, it's not going to change their minds. Or very few people it would.

I mean, what are they going to do? I've had too many times where someone has, you know, agreed with me on this stuff. And then they go and they talk to somebody else and they repeat the virtual signal that they did before. Sometimes it's hard to blame them. Not everyone can do what we do. But, you know, truth isn't necessarily the one good that they seek. I do, and I've suffered miserably for it.

And I paid the price for it. But it's a price I'm willing to pay. We can't ask that of everybody. But truth, for so many, isn't the main category. It's not really the goal. What's useful, what works, what gets them ahead, what makes them feel better, that's the goal. But don't forget, you know, if the Soviet Union can collapse overnight, if the Warsaw Pact could collapse with no warfare, with no war going on, nothing, just collapsed with its own weight overnight, then anything could happen. It doesn't take a majority.

It takes a determined, one thing we could learn from the Jews is that numbers don't mean anything. thing. What matters is a well-spelled-out ideology, cohesion, and the willingness to sacrifice. Doesn't have to be a massive army because what we may lack in numbers, we don't have cohesion, of course, but that's one thing the Bolsheviks had. One of the main reasons they won the Civil War is that they were completely unified and they would shoot anyone otherwise. the whites had no unifying ideology. But cohesion, cohesion, cohesion. That's what wins wars.

That's what collapses empires. And the Jews more than anyone else are aware of that. Numbers don't matter. All right. Good message there. Yeah, and I do leave it open that people will change their minds in the future. But right now, you're not useful at all. You're a hindrance.

So I did want to make this. want to make this request out there. I know that there we have some Russian speakers who are friendly, you know, definitely friendlies. If you've been following this along in a Russian version of 200 years together, reach out to me. I know a couple, I've already emailed with a couple of you. She already got my email. If you're following it along in a Russian edition of this, reach out to me. I want to ask you a couple questions. So I will, I will end this. The same way I always do, please, please, please, please, go to the show notes, go to the notes on the videos, and go support Dr. Johnson and his work and keep him unemployed so he can keep us educated. And Dr. Johnson, it is always a pleasure.

Thank you. Right back at you, man. I'll talk to you in a few days. Talk to you. Bye. Bye-bye. I want to welcome everyone back to part 40 of our reading of 200 years together. by Alexander Silschenison.

How are you doing today, Dr. Johnson? I was up till three this morning, putting together my latest daily nationalist, which should be posted by now, on what's left of the tragedy, the farce of the Ukrainian Air Force. It took me hours, it took me days to get all this together.

Dragobosnich, who knows more about the technical aspects of the various, you know, why the Russians are so superior to the West and so many, you know, weaponry and the planes themselves are reading him a lot. And I put together, I'm going to publish it soon on my Patreon. It's probably the best thing I've ever done, the best lecture I ever put out there for some reason. There's a couple of them that I'm really, really proud of. And that's, people underestimate how long it takes to put one of these lectures together for an hour.

Now, usually I go for an hour and a half or more on the Orthodox Nationalist. The Delhi National is supposed to be a half hour. I end up going like usually at least an hour because I can't do anything under an hour. So, but this one was done in about 50 minutes, very proud of it. It's so tragic. They're sending these boys up in death traps. They have no idea what they're doing. They're only trained.

I don't know what they tell these guys, but their survival rate is almost zero. They can't even get off the ground without being. It's really, it's a tragedy. And it's a societ of the nature of the regime, the nature of the ruling class, and what they really think of Ukrainians in this absolutely, at this point,

absolutely ridiculous war. Yeah, yeah, we know who's behind it. So let's talk a little. little bit about them. How about that? Yeah, yeah. This is nothing compared to that. I'm telling you. All right. Here we go. Picking up from where we were left off last time. So the pogrom against the Jews began in the evening of the 18th of October. At its initial stage, the pogrom undoubtedly assumed the character of retaliation against the offense to national sentiment. The assaults against the Jews passed in the street. The destruction of shops and the merchandise they contain,

were accompanied by words such as, here it is, your liberty, here it is, your constitution and your revolution. This, this is for the portraits of the Tsar and the crown. The next morning, October 19th, a large crowd came from Dumas to the Cathedral of St. Sophia, bearing the empty frames of the Tsar's portraits and the broken emblems of the imperial power. It stopped at the university to have the damaged portraits restored. A mass was celebrated, and the Metropolitan Fledger's. Vivian exhorted the people not to indulge in excesses and return home.

But while the people who formed the heart of the patriotic demonstration maintained an exemplary order, individuals who joined them along the way allowed themselves to be subjected to all kinds of violence against the Jewish passers-by, as well as high school pupils or students in uniform. They were then joined by the workers, the homeless of the flea market, the bums. Groups of rioters sacked the houses and shops of the Jews, threw into the street their goods and merchandise, which were partly destroyed on the spot, partly plundered. The servants, the guardians of the building, the little shopkeepers apparently saw nothing wrong with taking advantage of the property of others. Others, on the contrary, remained isolated

to all interested goals until the day of the disorders. They tore from the hands of their companions to objects that they had stolen, and, without paying attention to their value, destroyed them on the spot. The rioters did not touch the shops of the car rights, nor the houses where they were presented portraits of the emperor. Let me interrupt right there. Sure. Let me interrupt right there.

I've said this before, but I think it's very important that he points out that the Karaites weren't touched. The Karaites, of course, there's not that many of them. The Talmudists tried to slaughter them all many years ago. There's a few of them still around. And this means that even for the

mob. The word Jew was identical with Talmudist. That's what the car rights are known for. They have no, they reject the Talmud and they reject the rabbinical system. They would reject the Kahal, all that. They're, you know, you call them Jews, but I don't even think that fits. And I think it's very important. He makes that distinction. And I don't know how many of the homeless would know not to touch the Karaitz. So that means someone must have told them, you know, these are not the problem. It's the Talmudist that are the problem.

Anyway, go ahead. But on the whole, only a few hours after it had begun, the pogrom took the form of a pitiless rampage. On the 18th, it continued long into the night, then stopped on its own to resume on the morning of the 19th, and to cease only on the evening of the 20th. There were no fires except one in the Padal district. On the 19th, luxury shops belonged to Jews were sacked as far as the city center on the Kretchik. The heavy metal curtains and locks were forced after half an hour of hard work. Expensive textiles, velvet clots were thrown into the street and spread out in the mud, in the rain, like rags of no value.

In front of the shop of the jeweler Markish, on the Kresatik, the pavement was littered with precious objects. and the same for fashion shops, the dry goods stores. The pavement was fraught with account books, invoices. In Lipka, the chic neighborhood, the private mansions of the Jews were sacked, that of Baron Ginsburg of Halperin, of Alexander, and Leon Brodsky of Landau, and many more. All the luxurious decoration of those houses was destroyed,

the furniture broken and thrown into the street. Likewise, a model secondary school for the Jews of the Brodsky School was ravaged. There was nothing left of the marble staircases in the wrought iron ramps. In all, it was nearly 1,500 apartments and commercial premises belonging to Jews were plundered. Starting from the fact that nearly two-thirds of the city's trade was in the hands of the Jews to so assess losses, including the richest mansions, to several million rubles. It had been planned to ransack not only Jewish houses, but also those of the prominent liberal personalities.

On the 19th, Bishop Plato led a procession through the streets of Padol, where the pogrom had been particularly violent, urging the people to put an end to the abuses, imploring the crowd to spare the lives and property of the Jews. The bishop knelt several times before it. A broken man came out of the crowd and shouted threatening, you two, you're for the Jews? I think the issue, of course, they're worried about innocent people at children when these things get out of control. yesterday we read a paragraph you know just a bit before this one where the Jews were doing the exact same thing if you go to the Jewish encyclopedia

or even just a history text this Kiev Pogrom they'll describe these outbursts but with no context somehow for these people context is the enemy it's like they're kryptonite

no one wants innocent people being hurt. But if the state wasn't going to do anything, the people took matters into their own hands. It is impossible to condemn this kind of thing, especially under these circumstances. These Jews, and the very fact that they were educated enough not to touch the Karite homes.

And it's a miracle that the Talmudist would even let them live. Usually, I thought they would just be wiped out on the spot, but like it used to be in Spain. But this is something that I've been coming for a very long time. The state was, at least in Kiev, of course, a heavily Jewish area, a very wealthy city. You know, Jews have been particularly obnoxious. We've been reading about the abuses of the Jews. What do they expect?

And when they write about this, they'll say that this was just, you know, mindless hatred for no reason except maybe for jealousy. So Bishop Playton, you know, he's, he realized that these things can get very much out of control. And that there needs to be organization, you know, which is where the black hundreds came in. It can't just be a mob. A mob can't do it. I mean, they could destroy things. That's pretty much about it. They go home afterwards.

if it's organized, but it was organized enough, again, to make sure that the homes of certain people weren't touched, where there was a portrait of the emperor, Jews who didn't follow the Talmud. This was an anti-Talmudic outburst against the abuses of the Jews that have been going on for decades. And it's not a pogrom at all. I mean, I guess you could call it that, but it's a simple matter of a very crude form of justice because the state, you know, wasn't doing much about this, was favoring them in a lot of different ways.

No one likes these outbursts. No one likes violence. No one likes to hurt anybody. But under the circumstances. And we also see how the Jews responded to weakness. The minute the czar gave in, instituted the you know

so-called constitution and the and the Duma they went crazy this program was in response to them

sacking the Duma and and just absolutely acting like lunatic children after the after the Duma was

was granted this doesn't show this you know this this at least is a response okay we have to be We have to be more careful here in the future. Of course, they weren't.

But you would think that that would be their response. It's very crude. No one likes it. I don't believe in this kind of violence. But of course, I also wasn't there. I wasn't there when the Jews were on a rampage. And we know what the Jews were going to do to a lot of these same people in just a few years. There's a certain very crude justice to this.

We have already seen the carelessness that prevailed among the the authorities. General Drake did not take appropriate measures to ensure the proper organization of security. The troops should not have been scattered in small detachments. There were too many patrols, and the men often stayed idle. And here we are. What struck everyone during the program was the obvious inaction, close to complacency, which was shown by both the army and the police. The latter was virtually absent, and the troops moved slowly, merely replying to the shots fired from certain houses, while on either side of the street, the shops and apartments of the Jews were sacked with impunity. A prosecutor asked a patrol of Cossacks to intervene to protect stores

that were looted nearby. The Cossacks replied that they would not go, that it was not their sector. I don't know how you don't laugh when you read that. I remember the first time I read it. I did. I smiled. Cossacks, their whole world was protecting Christians from the Jews to now ask them to protect these exploiters from the mob. Of course they're going to say, you know, they're being very nice about it. It's not our sector. We're on coffee break. I don't know.

I lost my sword. You know, my horse is sick. I'm sure they came up with all of these to avoid it. Now, if things went too far, that would be a different story. But so long as it was confined to, you know, a couple of punches or someone or their stuff being thrown out into the street. They didn't have a whole lot of incentive to chop off arms in the protection of a group of people that they were sworn as Cossacks to do battle with.

More serious still, a whole series of witnesses had the impression that the police in the army had been dispatched not to disperse the breakers, but to protect them. Here the soldiers declared that they had been ordered to ensure that there were no clashes and the Russians were not attacked. elsewhere they said that if they had taken an oath to God into the Tsar, it was not to protect those who had lacerated and jeered at the portraits of the Tsar. As for the officers, they considered themselves powerless to prevent disorders and felt themselves entitled to use force only in cases where the violence was directed against their men. Example. Of a house, ran out a Jew covered with blood pursued by the crowd.

An infantry company was right there, but it paid no attention to what was going on. and quietly went up the street. Elsewhere, the plunderers were massacring two Jews with table legs. A detachment of cavalry station ten paces awake contemplated placidly the scene. It is not surprising that the man in the street could have understood things like this. The Tsar graciously granted us the right to beat the kikes for six days and the soldiers. You see, is all this conceivable without the approval of the authorities? For their part, the police officers,

when they were demanded to put an end to the disorders objected that they could do nothing to the extent that the full powers had been transferred to the military command. But there was also a large crowd of thugs that took flight due to a police commissioner who brandished his revolver, assisted by only one peacekeeper, and police officer Ostromensky,

with three patrolmen and some soldiers succeeded in preventing acts of looting in his neighborhood without even resorting to force. The concept of a riot has always interested me, you know, as a scholar. I got into it with, you know, Northern Ireland and it's definitely South Korea. Le Bonn's the crowd. There's a whole sociology of this here. You know, a riot is a very crude response. Sometimes you could fully understand it. But who are the people who are taking part? And what's their mentality? When I see a riot, I remember

the riots against the there was some austerity in Britain a few years ago and there was a riot in London and I see these punks with Mohawks I guarantee you if you ask them what specifically you're writing about. They couldn't explain the cuts to Social Security or whatever

it was. That's not what they're there for. They're there because that's who they are. So you have people who took action on principle and just sheer anger and thugs. People who just do this,

they're looking for any excuse. It's really hard to tell the difference. But now, the problems between the Cossack command, military command, and local police in Kiev, that was a legitimate issue. No one was quite sure who had the right to do what. This had nothing to do, you know,

the state had nothing to do with this. This wasn't permitted. but a Russian policeman is not going to put his life on the line when he probably is very much on the side of the rioters. So long as people aren't being killed and innocent people aren't being hurt, but how do you avoid that? At some point, innocent people will be hurt.

You know, but they specifically seem to go to places that there was a lot of money, not just because they could take things, but they were the exploiters. So this was something of a principled a riot, but the minute you start talking about the thugs, or the homeless, as we've already mentioned,

the minute they get, or someone who's drunk, then it's not legitimate anymore. It's not crude justice anymore. Now it's just antisocial people. Oh, we finally have an excuse to show how antisocial we are, to take out our anger on other things

on this, pretending that we have these principles. So there was a legitimate problem in terms of law enforcement, not something that the Russians were particularly good at at the time. But again, as everyone who's been following this knows, if there was ever a riot that was provoked by its victims, it's this one. The looters did not have firearms, while the young Jews, they had some. However, unlike what happened in Gamal,

here the Jews had not organized their self-defense, even though shots were fired from many houses by members of self-defense groups who included in their ranks, both Jews and Russians, who had taken their part. It is undeniable that in some cases these shots were directed against troops and constituted acts of retaliation for the shots fired on the crowd during the demonstrations of the previous days. Sometimes Jews fired on the patriotic parades organized in response to the revolutionary demonstrations that had taken place before. But these shots had deplorable consequences. Without producing any effects on the rioters, they gave the troops a pretext to apply their instructions to the letter. As soon as shots came from a house to troops who were there, without even inquiring whether they were directed against them or against the rioters,

sent a salvo into its windows, after which the crowd rushed in and ransacked it. We saw cases where we were firing at a house solely because someone had claimed the shots had gone. It also happened that the looters claimed the stairs of a house and fired shots toward the street to provoke the troops, retaliation, and then engage in plundering. But we've spoken about this before, too. The Jews were armed. The Jews did have self-defense groups. Now, you see that first couple of sentences.

Unlike in Gommel, the Jews hadn't organized their self-defense in Kiev, even though, Shultzsche. were fired from many homes by members of self-defense groups. And then they say by members of who included in their ranks, both Jews and Russians, who had taken their part. I think I know what they're talking about there. There had to have been something. Given the hyper-organization of Jews everywhere, especially in Russia at the time, there certainly were militias here.

I think this whole thing took them by surprise. and especially since you had three law enforcement organizations. Cossacks, you know, this is Kiev, this is Ukraine, Cossacks, soldiers, and local police. Again, these police forces were not very large and not trained for crowd control. And they were quite confused. Because of all of that, you know, they didn't expect anything like this to happen. So, but minute shots rang. out. It's pretty certain that these were Jewish groups because as far as anyone can tell,

and he's, this is quoting, by the way, this isn't Solzhenitin writing most of this. This is from the report after the event translated by him. These soldiers were largely defending themselves. It was pretty certain that the Jews were the armed ones. And it really depends on where these bullets were landing. you know, and it clearly had no effect on the rioters, which is interesting. But, yeah, the soldiers will defend themselves here regardless of who's shooting, but there were no firearms, as this says, on the Russian side.

It's also interesting to note that from here on in, although this happened before anyway, but especially in this era, any pro-Russian, pro-Royalist demonstration, and there were many. you know again black hundreds were mostly Ukrainian organization it was the Jews who provoked the riot it was a Jews who shot them was Jews who attacked them those very same attacks then today are called pogroms against the Jews because the fight broke out obviously to my extent of my knowledge

the black hundreds were not armed with firearms in any of their demonstrations that was a leftist thing to do at the time. But like everything else that's happened up until this point, the Jewish media, the media in the West created this fantasy story of the government organizing these pogroms against the Jews for no reason. And that means that Russians are animals.

They have no right to exist. They have no right to rule anything. And they need to be disciplined. And it was so, it was obsessive when, when during the Russian Civil War, there was one offer made to Deneke and I think, where, um, you know, we may, we may think about giving you assistance if you purge any anti-Semite from your organization, which meant there would be like three guys left. Um, they, they would do this all the time. They would, they would have, they wouldn't have given a maid anyway. they never got a penny from the West. But this obsession with Jews, London and Washington is one of the reasons that they backed the Bolsheviks and the Reds during the Civil War and invested heavily in the USSR from its foundation almost to its very end.

So clearly this is a how the Jews behaves before this. and what we talked about, their childish jeering and attacking, physical violence, and ripping up pictures of the czar, although the czar had done nothing to them, it just shows the level of contempt that these same Jews are going to show when they take over in late 1917. And things got worse. Some of the policemen and soldiers did not disdain the goods thrown into the street by the vandals, pick them up and hid them in their pockets or under their hoods. And although these cases were exceptional and punctual,

one still saw a police officer dismantling the door of a shop himself and a corporal imitating him. The false rumors of looting by the army began to circulate when General Everett ordered in his area to confiscate goods taken by the looters and stolen goods and to transport them to warehouses of the army for subsequent restitution to their owners on presentation of a receipt, thus saving property worth several tens of thousands of rubles. It is hardly surprising that this scoundrel of Sikotky, seeing his career broken,

not only did not take any action concerning the action of the police, having learned at the beginning of the pogrom on the evening of the 18th, he did not communicate by telegram any information to the neighborhood police stations before late in the evening of the 19th. Not only did he not transmit any information to generals and military, security, but he himself, passing through the city, had considered what was going on with calm and indifference, contenting himself to say to the plunderers, move along, gentlemen, and those few encouraged one another, don't be afraid he's joking. And when, from the balcony of the doom,

they began to shout, pound the kikes, plunder, break. And the crowd then carried the chief of police in triumph. The latter addressed greetings in response to the cheering of the demonstrators. It was not until the 20th, after General Karras had sent him a severe warning. As to the director of the governor's general chancery, he declared that Sikotsky would not escape the penal colony, that he ordered the police to take all measures to put an end to the program. Senator Turo effectively had to bring him to justice. In a sense, I can understand. I mean, this is kind of like they were dousing him with Gatorade after a winning game.

You know, that's the first thing I thought of when I, you know, they were carrying him like, like a hero because he wasn't going to do anything. But although it's understandable, the violence is understandable, the targets were clearly picked out, which is saying something. If it's left unchecked, innocent people are going to be hurt or killed. So at some point, there does have to be action taken. but, and that's why, that's why these people were getting very upset with him. Now, I don't know why he did this. Clearly, he didn't want his career destroyed. I think he simply didn't understand the severity of the problem,

or that this is not really that big of a deal, or it's going to be over soon, or, you know, he convinced himself of something. But the Jews to this day will say that this proves the government was in on this program. And it's not true. You had confusion at the top. true in Kiev very far from St. Petersburg. You had a lot of confusion, but that doesn't prove anything. This was not in the interest of the state,

but it shows that at some point Russians were, that they had had enough. They were sick of this, and if the state wasn't going to take action, they had no choice. But unfortunately, it was this, it was crude, it was unwieldy, and eventually it had happened. to be stopped. Another security official disgruntled with his career, General Bezanov, was in the midst

of the crowd of rioters and was peacefully parlaying with them. We have the right to demolish, but it is not the right to steal. The crowd shouted, hooray, at another moment he behaved as an indifferent witness to the plunder. And when one of the breakers shouted slam the kikes, Bezanoff reacted with an approving laugh. He reportedly told the doctor that if he had won one of the blunderer, he'd reportedly told the doctor that if he had wanted to, he could have put an end to the pogrom in half an hour, but the Jews' participation in the revolutionary movement had been too great.

They had to pay the price. After the pogrom, summoned by the military authorities to explain himself, he denied having spoken favorably of the pogrom and declared, on the contrary, to have exhorted people to return to calm. Quoting, have mercy on us, do not force the troops to use their weapons, to shed Russian blood, our own blood. if I was General Bisonoff, what I have done any differently, you know, he's not seeing innocent people being killed.

He's seeing a very crude justice by the, by the, a huge portion of the Russian population. Revolutionaries, as far as he knew, were the ones paying the price here. And if that, so far as that's true, there was no way he was going to stop it. And of course, it eventually petered out. But as far as Bissanov and all these other people were concerned, innocent people were not being hurt. These people lived on plunder. These people lived on exploitation and usury and manipulation.

They were essentially a mafia clan in Russia and a huge portion of the Kievan population. It's really hard to blame the guy. And people like Pisanov had dealt with how many of his friends were murdered by the revolutionary movement? The assassinations were constant at this point. Policemen, low-level bureaucrats, pencil pushers were shot on a regular basis by the revolutionary movement. How many corpses do you have to see before you say, well, you know, I'm not going to do anything here. They've made their bed, and as far as I'm concerned, no innocent people are being harmed. Delegations went one after the other to General Karras, some requesting that some of them take troops out of the city, others for the use of force, and others for taking measure to protect their property.

However, throughout the day of the 19th, the police did nothing in the military executed orders badly. On the 20th of October, Karras ordered to encircle and apprehend the hooligans. Many arrests were made once the army opened fire on the rioters, killing five and wounding several others. By the evening of the 20th, the pogrom was definitely over, but late in the evening, the rumor that the Jews murdered Russians sowed dismay among the population. Retaliation was feared. During the pogrom, according to police estimates, but a number of victims were taken by the crowd. There were a total of 47 deaths, including 12 Jews and 205 wounded, one-third of them Jews. Okay, that last sentence completely destroys.

the Jewish view of things. This is a program against Jews. So far, what we've read says that's exactly what it is. Legitimate or illegitimate, it doesn't matter. 47 people allegedly were killed as a result of this, and 12 of them were Jews? That means the rest of them were Russians. That means the Jews were shooting Russians. That means they were armed. This was more of a battle then, if that's true, than a riot. And we see in almost all of these pogromes, or so-called pogromes, both Russians and Jews were killed. These were battles.

These were battles. They were pitched battles in the streets, kind of like late Weimar, Germany. Something had to be done. But of the 47, and I, you know, I don't know how they know that all the 47 were killed as a direct result of the riot, although I'm going to believe them here. 47, only 12 were Jews. That means the majority of them were Russians.

Now, the police may have at some point been responsible for shooting near the end of the riot here. Again, the Army, their job isn't law enforcement. They're not trained for this. You know, today would be a different story. But back then, they're not law enforcers. but this last sentence tells you everything you need to know, and the Jews being as neurotic as they are,

only will tell you that only Jews were killed, and it was done for no reason, and here we see that the majority of those killed were Russians. Turo concludes this report by explaining that the root cause of the Kiev program lies in the traditional enmity between the population of little Russia and the Jewish population. motivated by differences of opinion. Are you kidding me?

That's what he said. Differences of opinion? That's what he, okay, keep going. Differences of opinion. All right. Russians were sent to Goulog because there was a difference of opinion. As for its immediate cause,

it resides in the outrage of national sentiment caused by the revolutionary manifestations to which the Jewish youth had taken an, active part. The working class imputed to the Jews only the responsibility for the blasphemies uttered against what was most sacred to them. They could not understand, after the grace granted by the emperor, the very existence of the revolutionary movement, and explained it by the desire of the Jews to obtain their own liberties. The flip side of the war in which Jewish youth had always openly expressed its deepest satisfaction, its refusal to fulfill its military obligations, its participation in the revolutionary movement, acts of violence and killings of agents of the state,

its insulting attitude towards the armed forces. All this incontestably provoked exasperation toward the Jews among the working class. And this is why in Kiev, there have been several cases where many Russians gave open shelter to unfortunate Jews who fled from the violence but categorically refused Jewish youth. That's very important. It shows that Russians in the cities were aware. of the distinction between Jews who are kind of normal and young revolutionaries.

They're clearly making a distinction. I've read a lot about that too. And I would have done the same thing. If you have someone who's not involved, a decent one, decent Jew, you don't want them to be hurt. But these young people who are involved, and there was a very specific way that they dressed. They loved the sunglasses that had that purple tint to them.

It was like the revolutionary fashion at the time. They were very easy to pick out. They're clearly making a distinction. And this paragraph here, other than a difference of opinion thing, what's laid out after it shows you that it's not a difference of opinion. This is about stopping a violent and yet pampered revolutionary group, especially from young people, who want Russia. dead who want the Tsar dead it shows you how popular the monarchy was the economy was doing well

other than the Jews society was fairly healthy trade was was very brisk in Kiev at the time money was being made it's only the Jewish neurosis that led to any revolutionary movement whatsoever and this is after czar nicholas granted the Duma but they took that as a sign of weakness And they created their own riot. They created a riot because the monarchy gave them sort of what they wanted. You know, who are these people? You know, that's what caused this is, is exasperation and frustration. We've been talking about it since we started this.

No one can blame them. So here you have situations where they're making the distinction, especially we've seen and making a distinction between carrites and Talmudis, which is very important. targeting specific places rather than others, and now giving shelter to those who were not involved. Maybe old people, maybe younger, but youth, people in the 20s or 30s, maybe they were recognized as violent agitators.

They're making definite distinction here. This isn't typical of a riot. This is very different. Rioters don't seem to care. But in this case, this was a very specific directed battle. against Jewish communists, and all of these Jewish communists wanted these Russians dead, including the Russians who gave shelter to the innocent ones. As for the newspaper the Kievan, it wrote,

Poor Jews, where is the faults of these thousands of families? For their misfortune, these poor Jews could not control their brainless youngsters. But brainless youngsters are also among us, the Russians, and we could not control them either. The revolutionary youth scoured the countryside, but it was the peaceful adult Jews who had to pay the piper. Thus, on both sides, we have dug a bottomless abyss. As for the Odessa program, we have a similar and equally detailed report, that of Senator Kuzminski. In Odessa, where a lively revolutionary sentiment had always existed, the tremors had started since January. The blast took place on the 13th of June, independently thereof of the arrival of the Potemkin battle,

ship in the harbor of Odessa on the 14th. The entire day of the 14th of June passed in turmoil, especially amongst a young, but this time also among the workers, whose numerous crowds began to impose by force the cessation of work in plants and factories. A crowd of about 300 people attempted to break into a tea parlor. Several shots were fired at the head of the local police station, who was preventing the crowd from entering, but the latter was dispersed by a salvo shot by a detachment of policemen. However, the crowd soon reformed and proceeded to the police station.

Some shots were fired from the Ducks House. From the windows and the balcony, several shots were fired at the police officers. Another group erected a barricade with building material in the street and then began shooting at a police detachment. In another street, a crowd of the same kind overturned several tramway wagons and horses.

A fairly large group of Jews broke into a tin factory through tobacco in the eyes of a police officer, scattered at the appearance of a police detachment while opening fire with revolvers. Among them four Jews were arrested on the spot. At a crossroads, a gathering of Jews formed. Two of them fired revolver shots and a mounted guard. In general, throughout the day of June 14th, almost all the streets of the city were the

scenes of clashes between Jews and the security forces, during which they used firearms and projectiles, wounding several police officers. A dozen Jews were also wounded, which the crowd took to hide them, as he tried to escape a certain Sipkin through a bomb, causing his own death as well as that of the police officer Pavlovsky. Well, I should note Odessa then, and up until fairly recently, Odessa is the capital of Ukrainian Jewry. It's the largest percentage, I think it may even be. half, maybe it's a little less of the population were Jews.

It was a, you know, they took over everything. It was difficult for a Russian to live there. The red flag went up over there. The mayor was a revolutionary. And before the civil war even started, the red flag was hoisted above their capital. They were violent revolutionaries. There could be no. such thing as a pogrom where you have armed detachments of Jewish revolutionaries, a fairly

small police force, and this is a one time, you know, where's the mob? There has to be popular participation here. The cops can't do everything. There weren't that many of them, and the Jews would stop at nothing to kill as many of these goyim as they can. This is a little different, not much, a little different from Kiev. Odessa was the Jewish capital of Ukraine. It was at this time that the Potemkin entered the Odessa Harbor. A crowd of nearly 5,000 people assembled. Many men and women gave speeches calling the people for an uprising against the government. Among the students who got aboard the battleship were Constantine Feldman, who urged to support the movement in town by canoning. Canaan,

it, but the majority of the crew opposed it. And the authorities in all this, the governor of Odessa, in other words, the head of the police, Newdhart, was already completely distraught on the day of the arrival of the Potemkin. He felt, as in Kiev, that the civil authorities were unable to restore order, and that is why he handed over all subsequent decisions aimed at the cessation of disorder to the military command. That is to say, the commander of the Odessa Garrison, General Kakanov. Did there exist a superior authority to that one in Odessa? Yes, of course, and it was Governor General Karangazov, who, as the reader will have guessed,

was acting on a temporary basis and felt hardly at ease. General Kazanov found nothing better than to have the port sealed by the army and to enclose the thousands of unsafe elements who had gathered there to cut them off, not yet contaminated, from the city. On June 15th, the uprising in Odessa and the Potemkin Mutiny collapsed into one movement, the inhabitants of the city, among whom many students and workers boarded the battleship, exhorting the crew to common actions. The crowd in the harbor rushed to plunder the goods that were stored there,

beginning with boxes of wine, then stormed the warehouses to which it set fire, more than 8 million rubles of losses. The fire threatened the quarantine port where foreign vessels were anchored and import goods were stored. Kockanov still could not resolve to put an end to the disorder by force, fearing that the Potemkin would reply by bombarding the city. The situation remained equally explosive on the 15th. The next day, the Potemkin drew five salvos on the town, three of them blank, and called

on the commander of the armed forces to board the ship to demand the withdrawal of the the troops from the city and to release all the political prisoners. On the same day, June 16th, at the funeral of the only sailor killed, scarcely had the procession entered the town, then it was joined by all kinds of individuals who soon formed a crowd of several thousand persons, principally young Jews, and on the grave and orator, after shouting, down with the autocracy, called on his comrades to act with determination without fear of the police. You know how bad a riot has to be.

You know how out of control civic unrest has to be for you to ask battleship to fire on the city. Odessa being the kind of city it was these were armed, trained, semi-trained, young revolutionaries, ideologically motivated, extremely violent. The police were overwhelmed from day one. The only way you could do anything is by shooting them. But, you know, there were no political prisoners in Zaris Russia. There were violent revolutionaries, very sick people who were imprisoned and those who helped them.

They weren't political prisoners. That only happens in the EU and the Soviet Union. You didn't have that in, in, uh, in, uh, Russia in 1905. By that very day, and for a long time, the state of siege was proclaimed in the city. The Potemkin had to take off to escape the squadron that had come to capture it, and although the four days it had been anchored in the Port Odessa and to many contacts which had been established between the people and it substantially raised a morale of revolutionaries and gave

rise to the hope of a possible future support of the armed forces, despite of that summer despite of that the summer was going to end calmly, perhaps even no upset which had occurred in Odessa if, on the 27th of August, had been promulgated the incomparable law on the autonomy of higher education institutions. Immediately, a Soviet coalition was formed by the students, which, by the determination and audacity, succeeded in bringing under its influence, not only the student community, but also the teaching force. Professors feared unpleasant and confrontations with the students, such as the boycotted classes, the expulsion of such-and-such professor from the amphi, etc.

Large gatherings took place at the university, fundraising to arm the workers in the proletariat for the military insurrection for the purchase of weapons with a view to forming militias and self-defense groups. Discussions were held about the course of actions to be taken at the time of the insurrection. At these meetings, the faculty of professors took an active part, sometimes with the director, Zanshevsky at its head, who promised to make available to the students all the means at their disposal

to facilitate their participation in the liberation movement. You imagine this complete perversion of the university. The only reason that they were demanding autonomy so that they could take them over, these were no longer places of learning. These became armed camps of the revolutionaries. They were able to take them. take over a battleship.

And, which suggests and implies that there are huge numbers, very well-armed revolutionaries, overwhelmingly Jews, because this is the Jewish city in Kiev. This is the Jewish city of the Russian Empire.

These aren't self-defense groups. That's propaganda. They were the aggressors. They were the attackers. and that's, you know, the Jews, this is why they were, Jews were kept away from higher education. Because they were Jews, because they would do this, immediately taking them over and making them into a force and a pillar for the revolution. And if you were against them, and there were plenty of that were, you were in a lot of trouble. You simply couldn't teach there anymore. You couldn't go there anymore. And notice throughout our history since then, especially in the United States, whenever any kind of university revolutionary action happens, it's Jews leading it until they start protesting against Israel.

That's when Jewish elites all of a sudden become right wing like they have now since October 7th and said that these universities have to be stopped and defunded. and we have to take away their endowments. And, you know, yeah. That's a big neocon. Neocons want that. I mean, you have a lot of fake protests against Israel from Jews who never seemed to notice Israel's, you know, this is really nothing special. Israel's been doing this since 1948.

It's only now because it's in the press, which they were not expecting. It became mainstream to attack, at least attack. Netanyahu, and they're trying to localize it just to him, there were a lot of what I think are completely fake Jewish organizations. Oh, we were against this all along. They don't want to be implicated in it. Your neocon Jews, again, another Jewish movement, they're not right-wing by any means,

but they become right-wing, only when they're seeing their sacred cows gourd on campus. All of a sudden, now they want law and order. You know, they have no principles. And you really can't take them seriously when they don't believe in, you know, freedom of expression. Well, when it comes to pornography, yes, they love freedom of expression, as if that's what the First Amendment was about. But when we start talking, all of a sudden it doesn't matter anymore. They have no principles. This is about power.

This is about control. The Jews created this whole notion of a revolutionary university. Here they turn them into armed camps. And we must remember our history, too, that prior to 1967 and 1968, Jews and Jews and blacks worked side by side. Jews basically using blacks as a battering ram against white America until blacks decided that part of their revolutionary movement was going to be pro-Palestine. And then they were immediately, they were immediately. They were immediately cut off in 1968, in 1968. Schwartzes.

Now it's true. On the 17th September, the first meeting at the university took place in the presence of an outside public so numerous that it had to be split into two groups. The S.R. Tepper and two Jewish students made speeches calling on the public to leave the struggle to free the country from political oppression and a deleterious autocracy. On the 30th of October, the state of siege was lifted in Odessa,

and henceforth rushed to these meetings, students of all educational establishments, some of whom were not more than 14 years old. The Jews were the principal orators calling for open insurrection and armed struggle. What political oppression are they talking about? What are they talking about? That was no censorship. There's always very far away.

He had no direct relevance to their own. lives. Their movement, unless they got violent, occurred without interruption. They were a wealthy group of people. All of these kids came from the upper classes. Jewish revolutionaries were almost all from the upper classes. What a pressure are they talking about? We spent a lot of time talking about how difficult it is for St. Petersburg to enforce laws far away. And it was an issue because all politics was local in the in the in the rossard empire what political oppression are they talking about the only thing that they could be talking about is that the goyam are running the country and the chief goys are nicholas exists that's what has to be destroyed so our friends

can take over their very existence is is what oppression meant to them i think we're going to end it right there and we'll pick up on the next episode. I wanted to mention, have you ever watched the 1926 Soviet movie Battleship Potemkin?

I have not, but I have heard about it. You must watch it. I actually found it on Amazon Prime when I watched it like six, seven years ago. It basically blames, it blames all of the Odessa, what happened in Odessa on the Tsar and the Cossacks.

And no mention of Jews except for one person who just randomly just screams, kill the Jews. And then that person is like, yeah, and that person is just like, that person shut down. So the, he shouted down and beaten by the people. And, yeah, it is an amazing piece of propaganda to watch. If you get a chance to watch it, definitely watch it. It's called, for everyone listening, it's called Battleship Potemkin, 1926, directed by Sergey Eisenstein. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he was a big name. The last Soviet-made movie I watched was Alexander Nyevsky, which actually wasn't bad, because, of course, this is, you know, the Middle Ages, except there was no, the Orthodox Church wasn't present, which is absurd. And what little orthodox presence there was was negative, even though he was fighting for them. It was kind of absurd to do that. But otherwise, it wasn't a bad movie. They didn't have, they had a pretty good, it was all propaganda and nonsense, but their actors and actresses were very solid.

The Battleship Potemkin is a famous movie. It's been remade a million times. And now that you mention it, I guess I have to watch it again or watch it for the first time. I may have watched it before, but it must have been a million years ago. But Eisenstein was one of the biggest names in that universe. Yeah, yeah, very good, a very good piece of propaganda. Good, it's one of those ones that if you're studying, if you're in the process of studying Bernays, is one of those ones that you definitely want to watch because the, if you know what really happened

and then you watch this, you're like, oh, this just makes perfect sense. sense when you know who made it and when you know who's in charge in Russia at the time, you know, in the Soviet Union at the time. Right, of course. And it's really more or less the same as far as movies today. They just have a lot better special effects. Yeah.

All right. We'll pick up on episode 41 in a couple of days. As always, go to the show notes. Go to the notes in the videos. and support Dr. Johnson's work. Make sure that he can keep providing and studying and providing us with this information because I have not heard a negative

about this so far, as a matter of fact, everyone who's listening to this and even people who are contacting me privately to say, wow, this is something you're not going to find anywhere else. So I appreciate it. I think this is special, and that's, I owe it all to you. Thank you, Dr. Johnson.

Oh, I absolutely agree. And, you know, not everyone can do what we do. Not everyone could be out in the streets like I used to be, even though I did lead a normal life. But by supporting us financially, that's how you now can get involved. That's your contribution. That's your statement to the world.

Not everyone could, you know, be a writer or analyst or an activist. Some people are just not in that position. But by supporting those who can, you're just as much a part of it as we are. 100%. Thank you. Talk to you in a couple days. All right, my friend. Bye-bye.
