Dr. Johnson, how are you doing it? day. Well, their kill count is up to nine. I know some of our listeners are very, very concerned with this. There was some guy who put Stanley in between the name Stanley in between two crowns, who is obviously a very brilliant man, a man of culture and understanding. But it wasn't him this. It was his little sister, Scully, who turned out to be a mouser probably by watching him.

but you know in an old farmhouse you know you're going to get some of this stuff i don't care i just wonder how it would be if we didn't have cats we'd be drowning in and in mice but that you know they are they are um and this one was huge what does i notice a mouse and a rat oh wow one thing i notice is we have these really little mice around here and you know my big cat will get at them every once in a while ever since this five foot rat snake should showed up who just crawls around. I mean, this, this thing is so bold. I'll be on the lawnmower and it'll just come out and be like, hey, how are you doing?

And just look at me. It's like, you know, I run you over and kill you right now. He's like, eh, no, you won't. Ever since that guy showed up and I see him go back and forth between the field next to us and under the house, haven't seen any mice. So I let him live. Yeah, that might be a good, there might be a good reason for that. But, you know, cats have to earn their keep, you know.

true true it just can't be all cuteness all the time yeah it's it's a whole thing with them I think they have it I have different sections of the house you know they play zone defense you know it's um I think I think this really it's it's it's like a formation they're doing great they're very happy with it it's what's one of their favorite things apparently like a Panzer division yeah All right. We move onward. For the Russian nationalist circles, responsibility for this conduct of the press was simply and solely the responsibility of the Jews. They wanted to prove that almost all journalists accredited to the Duma were Jews. And they published whistleblowing lists listing the names of these correspondence. More revealing is this comical episode of parliamentary life, one day answering to the attacks of which he was the object, Parishkovich pointed in the middle of his speech, the box of the press, located near the tribune and delimited by a circular barrier and said, but see this pale of settlement of the Jews.

Everyone turned involuntarily to the representatives of the press, and it was a general burst of laughter that even the left could not repress. This pale of settlement of the Duma became an adopted wording. Now, I can't say, I mean, Perch Kavich was a, is it, was a right winger in general, but he was in on the murder of Rasputin. He's definitely not, he's not one of my favorites. But if he says the pale of settlement and everyone just looks at the media people, you know that there's something going on. You know that what these guys are saying is absolutely true. It is simply a, the press is an ethnic thing.

I think it was getting pretty obvious to most people at that point. You know, everyone, and the leftists too, apparently, involuntarily goes, oh, you mean the media. Onward. Among the prominent Jewish publishers, we have already spoken of SM proper, owner of the Stock Exchange News, an unfailing sympathizer of the revolutionary democracy. Zyrsberg evokes more warmly the one who founded and funded

to a large extent the cadet newspaper, Wretch, I.B. Bach, quote, a very obliging man, very cultured with a radically liberal orientation, end quote. It was his passionate intervention at the Congress of the Jewish Mutual Aid Committees at the beginning of 1906 to prevent a conciliation with the Tsar. Quote, there was no Jewish organization devoted to cultural action or beneficence of which I. Bach was not a member, end quote. He was particularly distinguished. by his work in the Jewish Committee for Liberation. As for the Wretch newspaper and its editor-in-chief, I.V. Heson, they were far from limiting themselves to Jewish questions alone,

and their orientation was generally more liberal. Hessen subsequently proved it in immigration with the role and the archives of the Russian Revolution. The very serious Ruski Vedamosti published Jewish authors of various tendencies, both Jabotinsky and the future inventor of war communism, Lori Lorraine S. Melgenuf, noted that the publication of this body of articles favored to the Jews was explained, quote, not only by the desire to defend the oppressed, but also by the composition of the newspaper's managing team. There were Jews even among the collaborators of

Nouveauvrema of Sovoren, the Jewish and Encyclopedia quotes the names of five of them. The newspaper Roski Vermosti was long dominated by the figure of G.B. Ayelos called there by Gorsenstein, who had been working there since the 80s. Both were deputies to the first Duma. Their lives suffered cruelly from the atmosphere of violence engendered by political assassinations, these being the very essence of the revolution, a rehearsal of 1905 to 1906. According to the Israeli Jewish Encyclopedia, the responsibility for their assassination would rest with the Union of the Russian People. For the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia, if the latter bore responsibility for the assassination of Gersonstein, Ayalos, him, was killed by black hundreds terrorists. Yeah, that's kind of like what's good for the goose, that kind of thing.

Jewish publishers and journalists did not restrict their activities to the capital. or to highly intellectual publications, but they also intervened in the popular press, such as Coppeca, a favorite reading of the concierges, a quarter of a million copies in circulation. It played a major role in the fight against anti-Semitic denigration campaigns. It had been created and was led by M.B. Gordetsky, the very influential Kievskaya Miesel, to the left of the cadets had as editor-in-chief, Ayona Kugel, there were four brothers, all journalists, and D. Slavatsky, a wicked rascal,

and what seems to us very moving, Leo Trotsky. The biggest newspaper of Saratov was edited by Avekbar Sr., brother-in-law of Svardlov. In Odessa appeared for some time the Novorovsky telegram. with strong right-wing convictions, but measures of economic suffocation were taken against it successfully. As I've mentioned before,

the right-wing reaction, when I say right-wing, I mean, they're orthodox monarchists. And I think inherent to that is Russo-Ukrainian nationalists, just speaking very generally. That includes Belarus. That they were located in Ukraine

because this is where the Jewish population was. Ukraine was the center of Jewish domination. So you're not going to get this developing in Siberia, but there were only a handful of Jews, but within the O'Pail settlement, in much of Ukraine, especially on the Black Sea, the Jews have dominated for a long time. And I think what he means here is just, you know,

boycotts and, people suddenly disappearing, whatever it was to get rid of it. Because if he's a right-wing newspaper in Odessa had to have been a very difficult job. And we all know about economic suffocation. I don't know, it could have been the paper, it could have been the printers. You know, I'm not sure who had a monopoly on that stuff. But I also like to note that both Karl Marx, and Leon Trotsky were journalists or pretended to be journalists.

They all had no problem writing for Western newspapers. Trotsky did it in America. This is almost like a write-a-passage for these Jews to work for a newspaper somewhere. This was their method of corruption and denigration. 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.

and leander Gala to give the Tamilfada to Gaelan. In Ergird, we're going to talk in one-of-he, to find out of unlawful lecture. It's a lot of doing on the Englishachers on as to all the town, Gnough, and people, tariff, in the stash-o-in-law and people, tariff in the stash-do-agued.

Follomni small, it ergrid Ponga'i. The Russian press also had migrant stars. Thus, Eli Goldstein, an inspired journalist who wrote in the most diverse newspapers for 35 years, including the scene Otechewka, sorry, and it was also he who founded and directed the Russia, a clearly patriotic newspaper. The latter was closed because of a particularly virulent chronicle directed against the imperial family, these Obmanovie gentlemen. The press was to celebrate Goldstein's Jubilee in the spring of 1917,

as well as a discreet Garve Altus, who had a moment of glory for his chronicle, The Leap of the Passionate Panther, in which he poured a torrent of calumnies on the minister of the interior, N.A. Makulikov, but all this was nothing compared to the unheard-of-insolence of the humoristic leaflets of the years 1905 to 1907, which covered in muck in unimaginable terms,

all the spheres of power and of the state. The chameleon, Zinovi Grubin, in 1905, he published a satirical leaflet, the Jupil. In 1914 and 1915, he directed the right-minded Otis Chesvot. And in 1920, he set up a Russian publishing house in Berlin in collaboration with the additions of the Soviet state. Yeah, parity, I think that's what he's talking about here. Parity was very important to them.

It prevented them from having to deal with facts on the ground. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Going after the royal family was a huge problem. You really just, you couldn't do it. You couldn't do it in any royal states. And I've said this before, but sometimes they would go after Rasputin in, you know, later years, uh, almost as a substitute. And that's why so much that the stuff about him is concocted out of nothing, um, as a way to, um, attack the,

attack Nicholas, uh, indirectly. So, um, and, and this was, you know, but this is what journalism is. You know, journalism is about this kind of, you know, leftist, um, uh, uh, leftist, uh, hatred and hence Judaism you know so and all of these Jews did very well when the Soviets took over nothing changed for them

I still can't believe you know the the the what's his name the head of their leading of gold mine combine was given a high position in mining by the Soviet government as if to say that you know Jews are almost by definition prolete

But satire Sontire has been used by the Jews for the right winger today our people do it very well The left in the U.S. doesn't have any A sense of humor I don't think they know what a sense of humor is They really are when they try it's stupid We have some very creative people

In the meme wars which I'm a veteran by the way 2015-2016 but it's difficult for the left since they're they're always in power. I mean, the system as a whole is leftist. It's very difficult for them to, from that point of view. And they hate the fact that they're being reminded that they are the old men with the cigar chomping, all their old 1920s stereotypes of people in power. Well, that's them.

And they rule in the exact same kind of a way. but I think that was really the only time that you got in trouble is if you went after Nicholas and these guys like they did in the U.S. after the World War II that were pushing against this codes in Hollywood seeing how far they can go and they were trying to do the same thing here but if the press reflected all sorts of currents of thought from liberalism to socialism, and as far as the Jewish thematic was concerned, from Zionism to autonomism, it was a position deemed incompatible with journalistic respectability, which consisted

in adopting a comprehensive attitude towards power. In the 70s, Dorsayevsky had already noted on several occasions that the Russian press is out of control. This was even to be seen on the occasion of the meeting of March 8, 1881 with Alexander III, newly enthroned emperor, and often afterwards, the journalist acted as self-proclaimed representatives of society. Yeah, this is a big one for me. He was absolutely right. You know, journalism was just coming into its own. It was Jewish almost by its very structure. And when he means out of control, they would, they would concoct whatever they needed to. There was not. no difference between an editorial and a news article.

That's the same, like, you know, for the Jewish New York Times today. But, you know, there was no concern in the press isn't there to educate anybody. This is now 100 years, over 100 years. They're not there to tell you the truth. That's not their job. That's what a scholar might do. So when a scholar reads a newspaper article, the handful of us that are left, Our first reaction is to be very skeptical.

But this is why a state-owned press is important. You know, it's like Sanaa in Syria. Well, it doesn't exist anymore because of these people. If Jews dominate the press, then you have the, you know, sometimes like in the Burmese case, where I just, you know, formulated Johnson's law, the state-owned. There's a difference between state-owned and state control or state-influenced. that's the only media that's actually saying what's going on rather than just one-liners and pious moralizing. Because journalists are leftists, they're especially in the U.S. and Western Europe coming out of Colombia and everything.

They are out of control. They've always been out of control. They'll do anything. They'll say anything. But for them then to say that we are representatives of society. So a journalist will say the public, you have the need to tell us things because the public has a right to know. But you're not the public. You have no connection to the public. You probably don't even like the public. In fact, I'm sure you don't even like the public.

So you are part of the leftist structure and that's all you are. Donald Trump, you know, throwing some of these guys out of, you know, press briefings and things like that is perfectly legitimate. that these are weapons of war. Information is far more powerful than anything else. And it wasn't just Dostoevsky saying that Russian press is out of control. And as I've said before, the nonsense that they were coming up with, especially about major issues like what happened in 1905, what happened in the gold mines, what happened in Russia-Japanese War, that became standard Western dogma. And none of it's true, or very little of it's true. It's true by accident.

and it's not just, they just would invent things. Even the Soviet press was better. The Soviet press, you read the old provdh. They would say what happened, but they would then editorialize vehemently against it if it was something they didn't like. So even in that sense, it's more trustworthy than, like, say, the American press.

Soviet press just would then condemn it at the end of an article. But they'd be accurate up until, that point. They'd editorialize. The Soviets, the Lennon was very clear. The press is an agent of revolution, and it will, is there to defend the revolution afterwards.

But I think this is a very good argument for a state-owned or controlled press corps. I'm not talking about PBS or anything else, because especially in this case, that would not be under Jewish control. That would provide

the state's point of view I'm not talking about this you know today but in you know in foreign countries Syria Burma

state on press is really the only place I go because everything else half the time they take from the American press state on press is actually much more sober they do criticize I mean Sanaa criticized Assad all the time but they certainly didn't make anything up.

So this is huge for me. Self-proclaimed representatives of society and then self-proclaimed representatives of the revolution. This was big for the left. This was big for Lenin. Journalism was born, was created as a corrupt enterprise. The following statement was attributed to Napoleon. Quote, three opposition papers are more dangerous

than 100,000 enemy soldiers. End quote. This sentence applies largely to the Russo-Japanese war. The Russian press was openly defeatist throughout the conflict in each of its battles. Even worse, it did not conceal its sympathies for terrorism and revolution. This press, totally out of control in 1905,

was considered during the period of the Duma, if we are to believe Vita, as essentially Jewish or semi-Jewish. Or, to be more precise, as a press dominated by left-wing or radical Jews who occupied key positions. In November 1905, D.I. Pinckno, editor-in-chief for 25 years of the Russian newspaper, the Kievan, and a connoisseur of the press of his times, wrote, quote, The Jews have bet heavily on the card of the revolution.

Those among the Russians who think seriously have understood that in such moments, the press represents a force and that this force is not in their hands, but in that of their adversaries, that they speak on their behalf throughout Russia and have forced people to read them because there is nothing else to read. And as one cannot launch a publication in one day, has been drowned beneath the mass of lies incapable of finding itself here or there. We're talking about the major press organs. And unless they went after the royal family directly, they were,

allowed to function. In fact, there was a confrontation between Tsar Nicholas and Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria did like things that were being said about her concerning the early years of the war. And Nicholas said, well, I don't do what you do over there. We have a free press here. You don't have one. I'm not going to interfere, despite the fact that that was his wife's grandmother. Napoleon is absolutely correct.

I've read the Russian media a bunch of articles over the years on the Russo-Japanese War. I can't find, I can't corroborate anything that they're saying in any historical record whatsoever. But by saying that the Russians are losing, like the American press did in the early years of the Russo-Ukrainian war, which is all a line, or at least, you know, mostly. a lie. And, you know, they're making up stuff about the Iranian-Israeli war now. That actually then has people thinking that maybe the system isn't good after all. That if we can't win a war, they do the same thing in Crimea. The press wasn't quite what it became, but it was identical in every other way. The point is, this is a revolutionary idea. Russians are,

are dying and there is no real chance at victory here because of bad leadership or whatever it is. And hence people question the system. That was the point of this defeatism. And after a while, I see the same thing, the American press in Vietnam. The American press still hasn't dealt with the fact that the U.S. was defeated and driven out of Afghanistan or Somalia, for that matter. you know so that's you know he's exactly this is what I was saying before this is precisely

openly defeatist the point of being openly defeat us of course is to lie because they're going to be defeatist whether or not the Russians had cleaned up one totally or lost totally they were going to say the exact same thing remember the press journalists aren't specialists in anything you know they if they cover um situation in Syria where they're not serious scholars. They're not historians. They don't know international relations. That's not their job.

Their job is to tell a story. And in this case, we all know what that story is. The story is far more important than any truth. They're sophists. Truth doesn't exist. The only truth is the revolution. And now the Jews are totally associated with the media, as we said before, It's almost like going into journalism is inherently an ethnic matter.

You look at the list of the dominant personalities in New York Times. Almost every single one is Jewish. I'm pretty sure that's not a coincidence. You catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive. By design. They move you. Even before you drive.

Helta Kamaroff did not see the national dimension of this phenomenon, but he made in 1910 the following remarks about the Russian press. Quote, they play on the nerves. They cannot stand contradiction. They do not want courtesy, fair play. They have no ideal. They do not know what that is. End quote.

As for the public formed by the press, quote, it wants aggressiveness, brutality, it does not respect knowledge and lets itself be deceived by ignorance, end quote. Thikimiro himself was a leftist terrorist, one of the few non-Jews. and the people's will. I've read, I think I'm pretty sure I've read everything he's,

he's written at some point or another. And he knew how, how the leftist revolutionary, even early on, depended on the press to cover for them. I'm not sure if you would have much of a leftist movement at all. I mean, it's not a movement. They dominate. I don't care who's elected president. That that's, you know, that's temporary. As far as the system and the regime as a whole, it's leftist by its very structure, by its very definition. And yes, they're very arrogant about it. But this isn't about knowledge. This is about power.

And being deceived by ignorance, well, it's because they know how to put together a good story. Sometimes the truth is just not, it's too detailed. You know, the good versus evil crap that they were trying to do in the Russo-Ukrainian war. You know, white hat, black hat. and half of the time these people were, you know, embedded in military units, everything censored. They were told what to say. And somehow this became the truth for millions of people. The Russians didn't even do that.

Half the time during the war, the media was in Moscow or St. Petersburg. They knew what they were going to say regardless of what happened. At the other end of the political spectrum, here's the judgment that the bullshit M. Lemma, passed on the Russian press. Quote, in our day, ideas are not cheap, and information is sensational, self-assured, and authoritative ignorance fills the columns of the newspapers. End quote. More specifically, in the cultural sphere, André Belli, who was anything but a right-wing

man or chauvinist, wrote these bitter lines in 1909. Quote, our national culture is dominated by people who are foreign to it. See the names of those who write in Russian newspapers and magazines, literary critics, musical critics. They are practically nothing but Jews. There are among them people who have talent and sensibility, and some, few and number, understand our national culture perhaps better than the Russians themselves, but they are the exception. The mass of Jewish critics is totally foreign to Russian art. It expresses itself in a jargon resembling Esperanto and carries on a reign of terror among those who try to

deepen and enrich the Russian language." Yeah, Belé was one of the leaders of the symbolist movement on the turn of the century. I've read him. It's been a long time, but I've read a lot of the stuff. He was, he was vaguely a nationalist. I'm stressing the word vaguely. Symbolism was very interesting.

I had a lot of pagan elements to it. But there were a lot of fun to read. but when you have people from every angle, every walk of life, people who know saying that this is a Jewish thing, and today in the EU you go to prison for mentioning it, you have a little bit of a problem and even in art. You know, Willis Cardo, and I don't know if this is true, but Willis Cardo, one day I walked into his office,

and he held up a Jackson Pollock picture in a book, and he said, you know, I don't think Jews see the same things that we see when we look at the world. I think there's some truth to that, that their filters are completely different from ours. That somehow this mess, Jackson Pollock did all the crazy abstracts, though. Not like the symbolist did it.

That was a different story. But they're just a crazy line. You know, Jackson Pollock paintings. and he said how there has to be a completely different well he didn't put it this way but I think what he was trying to say was that the filters that they had to look at the world are very different from ours we don't see the same things and I think I don't think it's completely true but I think there is some truth to it well I will say this it's pretty well known to the Jackson Pollock was working hand in hand with the CIA that's not a conspirator Barry C Theory anymore that's been revealed. And I think it was just to put garbage art in front of, in front of the, the public just to, you know, it's like, it's like brutalist architecture. I mean, that's the people who make this kind of stuff, they just hate us.

Yeah. Well, it's like Andy Warhol, even though he's from Pittsburgh, I'm, I can't find one. significant thing he ever did. He set up a camera across from the Empire State Building and ran it for nine hours up high. What is what is this man done? And yet he's considered a genius and a God and these and these works of his are sold for ridiculous amounts of money. I can't find anything interesting that he did. The only reason that anyone takes him seriously is that the media is in the hands of Jews. He claims to have not been a Jew. I know some people who think he was. His family was from Carpathoros.

Maybe he wasn't, but he certainly thought like them. And I agree with you completely. Andy Warhol, from a true aesthetic point of view, produced nothing of value. And that's not necessarily an opinion, especially when, you know, you have these ridiculous long films of literally nothing.

And that's considered genius, because he, you know, I just was reading something about him recently. How does this man ever become famous when you have brilliant artists who can't get a gig? I can say the same about musicians, you know, garbage art, you know, aesthetics is so important. That goes for music too. And how we come to understand the world. Plato made such a big deal about it. Art is so important.

So it would make sense for the regime, whatever. whatever it is, whether it be a CIA, whether it be corporations, it's all one ruling class as far as I'm concerned. Of course, they hate us. They don't understand us. They don't want to understand us. But to alter our default settings and how we see the world is exactly what all this garbage is. Pornography is a big part of a big part of this. Right down into the bedroom, it's totalitarian. There's nothing that they leave out. aesthetics is extremely important. And yeah, so yeah, like, there are many of that we could mention like that. That if society were normal, no one would ever have heard of them.

At the same time, Jabotinsky, a perspicacious Zionist, complained of, quote, progressive newspapers financed by Jewish funds and stuffed with Jewish collaborators and warned, quote, When the Jews rushed en masse into Russian politics, we predicted that nothing good would come of it, neither for Russian policy nor for the Jews. End quote. The Russian press played a decisive role in the assault of the cadets

and the intelligentsia against the government before the revolution. The deputy in the Duma A.I. Shinagaryov expresses well the state of mind that reigned there. Quote, this government only has to sink. To a power like this, we cannot even throw the smallest bit of rope." In this regard, it may be recalled that the first Duma observed the minute of silence in memory of the victims of the Bialystok program, refusing to admit, as we have seen, that it was an armed confrontation between anarchists and the army.

The second Duma also paid tribute to Ayulos murdered by a terrorist, but when Poroskevich offered to observe a minute of silence in memory of the officers and soldiers who had died in the city of their duty, he was removed from the sitting, and parliamentarians were so manic that they thought it unthinkable to pity those who ensured security in the country, that elementary security, which they all needed. You remember when Pelosi and a few of the others were on their knees for their moment of silence for what's his name, George Floyd? Yep.

I said, these people won't worship anything, but they will be on their knees. for him. This lavish funeral that went all over the country. And no one bothered to ask who paid for this. Where did this money come from? But the first two

Dumas were like this. And remember, this is a time in Russian history where things were going very well. And so that means that these people lived in their own little bubble. But when you control the press, you know, especially if you're in the professions, you're literate, you're in the cities.

You had tons of literate people in the countryside too. That's an old myth, but literacy was like 70%, 65% at the time overall. That becomes your public, that becomes reality. And they even, you know, start using language in their own way.

you know, everything's a pogrom if the left doesn't like it. You know, but it's always, when I first read that, it reminded me of that moron. Oh, remember she was wearing her African sash across her, you know, this, this, this, this, this phony piece of garbage, both Pelosi and George Floyd. She hasn't come on her knees for, well, maybe a poor choice of words, but. She hasn't worshipped anything in her life except for that moment. You catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive.

Aikulashar drew up a fair assessment of this period, but late, but too late in 1923 in emigration. Quote, before the revolution there were among the Jews of Russia individuals and groups of individuals, The activity could be characterized, precisely by the lack of sense of responsibility in the face of the confusion that reigned in the minds of the Jews. Through the propagation of a revolutionary spirit, as vague as it was superficial, all their political action consisted in being more to the left than the others. Confined to the role of irresponsible critics, never going to the end of things, they considered that their mission consisted of always saying, it is not enough. these people were Democrats, but there were also a particular category of Democrats. Moreover, they referred to themselves as the Jewish Democratic group, who attached this adjective to any substantive inventing any unsustainable Talmud of democracy with the only end

to demonstrate that the others were not yet sufficiently Democrats. They maintained an atmosphere of irresponsibility around them of countless, of contentless maximalism of insatiable demand, all of which had fatal consequences when the revolution came. The destructive influence of this press is undoubtedly one of the weaknesses of great vulnerability of Russian public life in the years 1914 to 1917. Yeah, I like that unsustainable talmud of democracy. I'm not, I'd like to unpack that at some point. But this is exactly why giving in, as Nicholas did with the Duma, is a terrible idea.

Public honesty of the mentality of Alexander the third, they were right because it is never enough. If they're going to, you know, if you give them an inch, they're going to demand a mile and they're going to force it. You can't keep giving in like this. and it did nothing but give these groups the view that they're weak the state you know is is falling apart else they wouldn't be doing this and the and the press was a huge part of it the press is what created this bubble of reality and it was a case then and it's the case in america now it doesn't matter whether the internet was there or not or the radio

TV and you had this notion, especially in the cities, that if you don't read the big newspapers, you're not civilized. You're not educated. So you had to be a part of this bubble or you were some kind of lunatic. But what became of the reptilian press, the one that laid down in front of the authorities, the press of the Russian nationalists, the Ruskoje Zamnia of Dubrovin, it was said that things fell from your hands so much he was. rude and bad. Let us note in passing that it was forbidden to circulate it in the army at the

request of certain generals. The Zemchina was hardly better. I do not know. I have not read any of these papers. As for the Moscovaia Zeta Mosti out of breath, they no longer had readers after 1905. But where were the strong minds and sharp pens of the conservatives? those who were concerned about the fate of the Russians. Why were there new good newspapers to counterbalance the devastating whirlwind? It must be said that in view of the agile thought and writing of the liberal and radical press, so accountable for its dynamism to its Jewish collaborators, the Russian nationalist could only align slow, rather soft,

spirits who were not at all prepared to fight this kind of battle. But what is there to say about this state of affairs today? but what is there to say about the state of affairs today? There were only a few literary types exasperated by the left press, but totally devoid of talent. Moreover, right-wing publications were facing serious financial difficulties. While the newspapers financed by Jewish money, as Jabotinsky used to say, offered very good wages, hence the profusion of wordsmiths, and above all, all these journals, without exception, were interesting. Finally, the left-wing press and the Duma demanded the closure of the subsidized.

newspapers. That is to say, supported in secret and what rather weakly by the government. First thing, whenever any of these groups, these Democrats of any type, take power, and they always take power at the barrel of a gun. The first thing they do is shut down their opposition media. They're well aware. Now, it isn't just like there was no, you know, they lost readers after 1905. But they didn't have massive Jewish money being poured into them. Yeah, the state financed a couple of newspapers partially, but it was nothing. The Jews understood propaganda and journalism in a way that especially back then, the state didn't.

There were plenty of brilliant right-wingers. But, you know, it's like going to a university today. We see what the universities and rush to work back then. you know, a handful of Jews automatically it becomes a bulwark of revolution. That's all it takes. And they surely should have been excluded entirely. And not just from Jews, but also from the British government, from the French government, and the Rothschilds themselves. And then later on, the Americans.

And really, not much has changed. The regime finances, you know, they've created a popular opinion, a norming opinion. but that's been done by force. I've dealt with it. You've dealt with it. But they're facing serious financial difficulties because they didn't have all of these forms of subsidy. Running a newspaper,

I was there at the very end of the spotlight with Willis Cardo. It's very hard. It's very expensive, even if you have a lot of subscribers. It's very difficult. And you didn't get that same sense that you're, you know, you're a cultured man by reading these things as you would, you know, the, the Kievans and the other liberal papers. They started to get the idea,

and the Freemasons had a lot to do with this. The nations created this idea that to be leftist was to be scholarly, was to be critical, and in fact, it was exactly the opposite. State Secretary S.E. Krasjanovsky acknowledged that the government was providing financial support to more than 30 newspapers in various parts of Russia, but without success, both because the right-lacked educated people prepared for journalistic activity and because the power itself did not know how to do it either. More gifted than others was I.I. Gourland, a Jew of the Ministry of the Interior, a unique case who under the pseudonym of Vassiliev, wrote pamphlets sent in sealed envelopes to prominent public figures. Thus, the government had only one organ which merely enumerated the news in a dry and bureaucratic tone, the provostveni Vesnik. But to create something strong, brilliant, convincing to openly go to the conquest of public opinion,

even in Russia, let us not even talk about Europe, that the imperial government itself did not understand the necessity of it, or was incapable of doing so, the enterprise being beyond its means or intelligence. Then the revolution comes, both February and October, the Reds take over, and then there's this massive explosion of Orthodox, nationalist, anti-communist writers all over the place. I've been through mountains of it. And of course, the question was, it's not, Very few of them were attached to the church, but not many. The church had plenty of that. But the church also didn't give you the impression that you were an educated man.

You were kind of from the village. So, yeah, I love this. The dry tone. It's exactly what the white armies did during the Civil War. No propaganda, no ideological unity whatsoever. you know, they were fighting for Kerenzky, really, you know, not the crown. And what, you know, the Nenekeon used to say is that we're going to have to wait. If we win, we'll call the Democratic Assembly and then we'll let the people tell us what they want to do.

That's as far as you went. And that doesn't win. It doesn't win wars. one of the huge reasons the Bolsheviks won was their absolute insistence on dogmatic conformity there was something to fight for something to believe in

and yes some of the state organs at the time were just you know it didn't have to be like that but then the revolution occurs then all of a sudden these guys come out of the woodwork and Solzhenitsin's asking where to hell were they The Nouveau-Vremia of Savoran long maintained a pro-governmental orientation.

It was a very lively, brilliant, and energetic newspaper, but it must be said equally changing, sometimes favorable to the alliance with Germany, sometimes violently hostile to it. And alas, not always knowing how to make the difference between national revival and attacks on the Jews, its founder, Old Savoran, sharing his property among his three sons before dying, gave them as a condition to never yielding any of their shares to Jews. Vitter ranked Novoi Vremia among the newspapers, which, in 1905, had an interest to be of the left, then turned right to become now ultra-reactionaries.

This very interesting and influential journal offers a striking example of this orientation. Although very commercial, it still counts among the best. It provided a great deal of information and was widely. disseminated, perhaps the most dynamic of the Russian newspapers, and certainly the most intelligent of the organs of the right, and the leaders of the right, and the deputies of the right and the Duma? Do we want to end right here? Because it looks like we're starting a new... Yeah, I have no problem with that. So, yeah, but, you know, I pretty much said everything I was going to say here. There's a few things

that bear repeating because it comes up again and again. But I think our listeners may be surprised about how similar, if not identical, the situation with the press and the Jews and the media and the so-called public opinion was in at this point in what was a healthy society as it is now in the in the U.S. And what's considered right then versus what's considered right now are, are two very, very different things. All right. Well, let's do a short one.

I think we were looking at this before it started. It was like there is no natural stopping point. I think this is probably the most natural or we'd probably be going an hour and a half here. That is true. The other thing is, you know, one of the big differences between right and left in Russia at the time was the Jewish question. being on the right and not being anti-Judaic or be telling the truth about the Jews that that didn't make any sense

of course that's gone now both both major parties want to although this might be changing one who one who serve the Jews as wildly as possible in course in Britain and the EU you go to prison if you don't you don't know what happened in Moldova and

and Romania. You know, if you get too powerful, they get rid of it. Same thing in France. You know, the right-wing leaders are mostly in prison and much of it. They're going to do the same thing in Germany, I'm sure. They haven't started already. So that was, so, you know, the czar, the church and the Jews, those were the three big issues that would differentiate a rightist and a leftist.

in 1906. All right. I know I said this at the last, end of the last episode. I say at the end of every episode. Go over to the show notes. Go over to the videos. I have the links in the comments.

Donate to Dr. Johnson. We're 40, what is this? 46 episodes now? 46 episodes. Every single one of these has been put out publicly on all the platforms, including Twitter. For free.

I think that at this point we could probably sell these. But that's not the point of this. The point of this is to get this information out and to educate people. So please, go donate to Dr. Johnson and the work he's doing. And, yeah, we'll keep this going. It is 200 episodes together, as some people are calling it. Oh, I haven't heard that one yet.
