Haven't heard a, having heard a negative comment yet. 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 don't, I'm reading everything. I rarely hear it. 100%. All right, here we go. Start in chapter nine during the revolution in 1905. The Kishnev pogrom produced a devastating and indelible effect on the Jewish community in Russia. Jabotinsky.

Kishniv traces the boundary between two epochs, two psychological. 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 Kishinaev 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, Dubnava, Ahadham, Ravininsky, Ben Ami, Beelik. 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. Jabotinsky 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. 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 Russia. So it was very easy. If something got into the Yiddish press,

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., had been around for some time. And so many of these pogroms came from these armed groups starting a fight with Russians at various times of processions and even if 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 that murder 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, but 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 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 Kishinau Pogrom, 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 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 pogrom 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 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 Kishinaab program. Do you remember back in the 90s, the regime went crazy over the militia movement? Yeah, it's called a lot of it. Yeah, yeah, completely, completely invented a lot of it.

Well, at the same time, without the 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 have 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. anybody else.

But again, revenge for the, 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.

eargaret Pongue Pongue. Thus hatred expressed in one place is reflected at another, distant, and against the innocent.

For some time past, the attitude of the Jews of Gamel has become not only contemptuous but frankly provocative, the attacks, both verbal and physical, on peasants and workers have become commonplace, and 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 Shalukov, 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 their per, leaving their, 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 Silkov 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 Mayans 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 program. Well, 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 treat attacks on children with skepticism. I usually do. And 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

Kishnev or anything else. This was the norm. But it wasn't like a anti-Russian program, it was. 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 caused deep indignation among the Christian population, which reinforced the euphoric mood of the Jews, their enthusiasm. We are no longer in Kishnav. On September 1st, after the midday siren, the railway workers were abnormally noisy as they left

the workshops. 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 Jew's 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, the Jews curb the pogrom, but two hours later it resumed 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's 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 or 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 program. 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 pilgrim 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, they were inventing things all over the place. You know, random murders of rabbis for no reason.

Raps 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 the Jews already had against the Goyman. 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 Kahul 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 cahol 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. believe. Propaganda that's true doesn't sound right to me. But, 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 pogroms 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, lurid 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 leader, the Jews. 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, I mean, 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, you know, Woody Allen, and 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 freedom to actually say in public and to actually do, we hate you, we're going to kill you.

It's not about any program. 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 and we're defending um defending people against 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

of evidence that they don't give a damn about workers. That has 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 white, enjoying their total destruction, the redneck nonsense as they're destroying the family farm over the last 50 years. so for them to claim to we were interested in workers but it was 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 ready for huge savings will mark your calendars from november 28 to 30th because the little newbridge warehouse where sale is back.

The Gamalézegrored Poncahyi. 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 Kishinaev. Only a few months after Kishna, the Jews could no longer despise themselves for the resigned attitude with which they were accused of, among others, by the poet Bieluk. 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 1899, 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 Kishinau Pogrom. If we go back to the Dursavun Commission in the reign of Emperor Paul, just at the turn 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, you know, 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. 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 are formed the Zionists and the parties close to Zionism, the Zionist socialists, and the Poile-Zion. Thus, it is how in Gomel in 1903, the majority of the detachments were organized

by the Poile-Zion party. which contradicts bookbinder, fervent admirer of the Bund, I do not really know whom to believe. When the news of Gomel's pogrom 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 possible. Zerudni once again gathered irrefutable proofs that the program had been organized by the Department of Security,

but here also they were not made possible. public. Thirty years later, even Slaesberg, 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 Polo-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 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 had it been 100 years, earlier. And the arming 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 a 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.

Sliusberg, Copernic, Mendelstam, 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 program. 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 Kishinaev 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 deep neurosis here. where if you ask a lot of these, you know, like Kupernick, 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 this knows that. But sometimes it bears repeating because it's not something that we could wrap our head around very quickly. By walking out the courtroom, it's 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 that was too much even for secular Jews to 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 pogromis

quite often, the Black Hundred clergy, the pogromist 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 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. There'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 mass murder. And so when the Soviets began 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 Gentile 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. You catch them in the corner of your eye, distinctive by design. They move you. Even before you drive. The new Cooper plugin hybrid range.

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 Kishnah pogrom, Western opinion had become firmly established an attitude of repulsion towards Russia, considered as an old scarecrow, an Asiatic 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 and 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 of hatred and fear of Russians. This was a core principle, especially to these Jewish neocons

coming out of the Trotsky movement. They kind of shed a lot of their, you know, blatantly um, 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 Marxism on him, which, of course, saves Marxism 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 Ivan the Fourth, 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 and 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, it's 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, the head of the Joint Chief of Staff for both 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 the 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, to a much lesser extent, the Americans. The Russian press, you know, the pattern seems to be that the Russian liberal press for 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, Russia had half a million troops each out there.

Japan was completely and utterly exhausted. You know, poor Arthur, the Japanese lost a massive amount of men and equipment trying to take it. The commander of that eventually, ritual, he 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. they tried to do the same thing in Korea but this seems to be the pattern I wonder if Peter 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 Hearst 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 anyone. 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, it's Walsenegger 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. And 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 in to the places 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.
