I don't know why people love summer so much. People talk about it like it's this, it's this sacred season. And, you know, the bugs, the huge air conditioning bills, you know, the ridiculous oppressive heat,

you can't do anything without air conditioning. I don't, you know, it's like people who think that Jimmy Hendrix was the greatest guitar player of all time. They believe that because they're told that. And they grew up believing that. And if you say anything, they're going to flip out. I'll never understand. Or people who think the Beatles were great. Or God knows, Bob, Bob Dylan, or any of these guys, any of these people were told

or classic geniuses. I don't get it. I'm sick of summer already. Well, yeah, I'm definitely a fall spring person. Unfortunately, fall and spring in the South lasts about two weeks each. So, you know, you're, you're. You're dealing with summer mostly, and then you'll get a winter, a little winter break, but then two or three weeks of just wonderful weather in the spring and in the fall.

So, but, you know, you make up for it by being around people who, you know, share, if they don't, they don't really share your values down to the, you know, down to the minutiae level. but they definitely just want to be left alone and we'll leave you alone and if they need help they'll ask yeah i mean i'm from new jersey you know a southern sympathizer i mean ideologically speaking from new jersey which is weird as it is but you know culturally and um and um and uh comitologically i i could never handle it down there i know what you mean all right let's pick up where we left off last time. Okay. Sort of a new, sort of a new, like a little break here and switching topic just to

hair. And if the best among the representatives of the Jewish community and the Jewish intelligency have feared that the victory of Germany would only reinforce anti-Semitism, and for that reason alone, there could be no question of sympathies toward the Germans or hopes for their victory, a Russian military intelligence officer in Denmark reported in December 1915 that the success of an anti-Russian propaganda is also facilitated by Jews who openly declare that they do not wish the victory of Russia and its consequence. The autonomy promised to Poland, for they know that the latter would take energetic measures

with a view to the expulsion of Jews from within their borders. In other words, it was Polish antisemitism that was to be feared, not German anti-Semitism. the fate which awaited the Jews in a Poland, which had become independent, would perhaps be even worse than that which they underwent in Russia. You know, if I were a Jew at the time, I could make an argument, you know, which one are you going to root for? I think there'd be no doubt, though, overall, Russia was the worst. I mean, at least Germany was Protestant.

You know, they have that to go on. and that's easier to manipulate than Orthodox or Catholic areas, even though there was a Catholic South, despite the purges and everything, and culture come. Poland, of course, knew the Jews firsthand. This is the area where the Jews were, Askenazi Jews were located in very large numbers. This wasn't prejudice.

This was stuff they all had direct experience with it. I think, but I still think that Russia would be at the bottom of their, or that I should say the top of their hate list, just for orthodoxy, if nothing else. And the polls, you know, at one time treated them very well, but at this point, you know, they were exposed. They were exposed all over Europe. And so I could make an argument for all three as being the worst option. So I bet you had factions among Jews, which one do we want to win? But I think the money was on Germany, at least for a while. The British and French governments were somewhat embarrassed to openly condemn the attitude of their ally.

But at that time, the United States was increasingly engaged in the international arena. And in the still neutral America of 1915, sympathies were divided. Some of the Jews who came from Germany were sympathetic. to the latter, even though they did not manifest it in an active manner. Their dispositions were maintained by the Jews from Russia and Galicia, who, as a socialist Ziv testified, wished for it could no longer be otherwise, the defeat of Russia, and even more so by the professional revolutionists, Russian Jews who had settled in the United States. So this was added the anti-Russian tendencies in the American public very recently in 1911,

the dramatic breakup of an 80-year-old U.S.-Russian economic agreement took place. The Americans regarded the official Russia as a country that was corrupt, reactionary, and ignorance. You know, there wasn't a whole lot of trade to begin with. You know, Russia really didn't need anyone else. I've said it before, but really the only, maybe the only two countries that could be totally autarkic would be the U.S. and Russia or the Russian Empire. And clearly we see that nothing has changed. People didn't know anything about Russia.

They believed the nonsense coming out of the press, about the endless pogroms and all this garbage that we've exposed here on this program and that Solzhenitin has exposed as absolute lies. And the violence of the English-speaking press against the Russians, it just was so bizarre that Russia was a member. member of the allies. It didn't make any sense. I think the French were slightly more sympathetic than the Anglo-American bloc was, but it was something so unnatural for Russia and Germany to be fighting, especially since at different times the Russian Empire assisted greatly in the unification

of Germany and in 1848, 1849 put the young friends Joseph back into power after the Hungarian separatists had dethroned him. There would be no Austrian-Hungarian empire if Russia didn't intervene. Not that it helped them because they would immediately turn around and attack Russia at any at any point. So, but that's, again, that's a separate matter. The Germany, you know, seem to be a very, they had far more in common than the, than Russia ever had with the Anglo-American bloc. It still doesn't make sense to me. Of course, World War I doesn't make sense to me. This quickly translated into tangible effects. As early as August 1915, we read in the reports of Milikov that Milikov was holding meetings of the progressive block. The Americans

pose as a condition of aid to Russia, the possibility for American Jews to have free access to Russian territory. Always the same source of conflict as in 1911 with Teddy Roosevelt. And when a Russian parliamentary delegation went to London and Paris in early 16 to apply for financial aid, it was faced to a categorical refusal. The episode is told in detail by Shengariev in the report he presented on June 20th, 1916, to the military and Maritime Commission of the Duma after the return of the delegation. In England, Lord Rothschild replied to this request, quote, you are affecting our credit in the United States. In France, Baron Rothschild declared, quote, in America, the Jews are very numerous and active. They exert a great influence

in such a manner that the American public is very hostile to you. Then Rothschild expressed himself even more brutally, and Shengariev demanded that his words not be included in the record. This financial pressure from the Americans, the rapporte, the repertoire concludes is a continuation of a policy that has led them to break our trade agreement in 2011. But of course, to that was added the massive deportations to Jews undertaken in the meantime. Jacob Schiff, who had spoken so harshly of Russia in 1905, now declared to a French parliamentarian sent to America, we will give credit to England in France when we have the assurance that Russia will do something for the Jews. The money you borrow from us goes to Russia, and we do not want that.

Milikov evoked the protests of the Duma Tribune of millions and millions of American Jews who have met a very wide echo in American opinion. I have in my hands many American newspapers that prove it. Meetings ending with scenes of hysteria, crying jags at the evocation of the situation of the Jews in Russia. I have a copy of the provision made by President Wilson establishing a Jewish. Jewish day throughout the United States to collect aid for the victims. And when we ask for money to American bankers, they reply, pardon, how is that? We agree to lend money to England and France, but on condition that Russia does not see the color of it. The famous banker Jacob Schiff,

who rules the financial world in New York, categorically refuses any idea of a loan to Russia. This is, first of all, this demonstrates that Jews control credit, at least at that level, all over the globe at the time. If you remember a few episodes ago, Vita tried to approach the Rothschilds for a loan, because you really didn't have any other options, all short term, of course. I mean, Russia was a creditor nation, and of course was refused. He had to figure out a way to finagle it, which is why he tended to be phylo-Semitic, for no other reason than to permit credit, because wars are expensive.

Even a creditor nation is, you know, it's extremely expensive, especially navies, are very expensive. And but the other thing it shows is that there was no assistance ever to the white armies during the Civil War, none, because anyone who is capable of giving financial assistance already said the Jews are the only thing that matters. And I had forgotten completely about a Jewish day. I don't know if that was just a one-time thing or what. But even back then, President Wilson, it was so dominated and their financial tentacles were so extraordinary that he established a Jewish day to collect aid as if, you know, Jews were poor and had no money. again, it just goes to show that Russia just stuck out like a sore thumb in the Allies.

They shouldn't have been there. And it's something that the British created to make Germany and Russia fight each other using Austria-Hungary and, excuse me, in the Balkans, which is, again, diabolically brilliant. And I guess the closest we're going to get to the true cause of the war in general. But this paragraph alone exactly shows the absolute financial financials. power of the Jews and there's no way around it you know if you want to finance a war you had to go to them and therefore you had to do things that made them happy had nothing to do with profit there were already millionaires you know back then was a

big deal you know Russia certainly would repay and repay early the propaganda created all this the nonsense the lies coming up coming out of the Jewish and the Gentile press created the this hysteria. We see this hysteria and crying and everything else. Nothing, nothing changes. It's the same story over and over again. And it has to be looked at skeptically no matter who you are.

Trump on Dunbiog, Kush Farage. The Encyclopedia Judeaica written in English confirms that Schiff, using his influence to prevent other financial institutions lending to Russia, pursued this policy throughout the First World War, pressure on other banks to do the same. For all these upheavals provoked by the deportations, both in Russia and abroad, it was the Council of Ministers who had to pay for the broken pots,

even though the staff did not consult it and gave no attention to its protests. I have already quoted a few snippets of the passionate debates that were agitating the cabinet on this subject. Here are a few others. Kruvichin was in favor of temporarily granting the Jews the right

to settle in all the cities of Russia. This favor granted to the Jews will be useful not only from a political point of view, but also from an economic point of view. Up to now, our policy in this field made one think of this sleeping miser on his gold, which does not benefit from it and does not allow others to do so, end quote. But Ruklov replied, this proposal constitutes a fundamental and irreversible modification of legislation, which has been introduced throughout history with the aim of protecting the Russian heritage from the control of the Jews and the Russian people of the deleterious effects of the neighboring of the Jews.

You specify that this favor will be granted only for the duration of the war, but we must not be in denial. After the war, not one government will be found to send back the Jews to the Palis settlement. The Russians are dying in the trenches, and meanwhile, the Jews will settle in the heart of Russia, benefit from the misfortunes endured by the people of general ruin. What will be the reaction of the army and the Russian people. And again, during the following meeting, quote, the Russian population endures unimaginable hardships and suffering, both in the front and the interior of the company, while Jewish bankers buy from their co-religionists the right to use Russia's misfortunes to exploit

tomorrow this exanguinated people. Yeah, and it goes to show that there were still plenty of healthy mainstream voices in Russia at the time. You still have it today. I think, remember, this is about the deportations of Jews from frontline areas. They were deported because they clearly supported the Germans and were profiteering, gouging for various supplies that the army needed. They clearly were an enemy people.

They always have been an enemy people. And they had every rational reason to do it. But even if they didn't have that policy, that was a pretext. going to do the exact same thing, the bankers would. They'd have the same attitude because this goes back, you know, 40 years, Russia, the ignorant anti-Semites, creating these pogroms from the government on down for no good reason because they're jealous. And yeah, there weren't that many Jews in the military. And we've already discussed that. You know, the ones that were there were awful because it wasn't their country. They're not going to fight for a country that isn't

theirs or doesn't benefit them some way. And this last line, the Russian population indoors, magical hardships, World War I was horrible. And the Jewish bankers were reaping the benefits. It would take massive press control to keep that information from getting out. This is why when the Bolsheviks took over, one of the first pieces of legislation was banning any criticism of the Jews and the death penalty being the highest penalty for that. But the ministers acknowledged that there was no other way at. The measure was to be applied with exceptional speed in order to meet the financial needs of the war. All of them, with the exception of Rukloff, signed their name at the bottom of the bulletin, authorizing the Jews to settle

freely with the possibility of acquiring real estate. Throughout the empire, with the exception of the capitals, agricultural areas, provinces and habit of... inhabited by the Cossacks and the Yalta region. In the autumn of 1915 was also repealed the system of the annual passport, which had hitherto been compulsory for the Jews who were now entitled to a permanent passport. These measures were followed by a partial lifting of the numerous clauses in educational establishments and the authorization to occupy the functions of litigator within the limits of the representation quotas. The opposition that these decisions meant in the public opinion was broken under the pressure of the war.

Well, we've already demonstrated over the last few weeks that Jews were everywhere. They went wherever they wanted. There was no enforcement of any of this stuff. The numerous clauses may be, you know, the elite universities and stuff. Cossack areas would be a very dangerous move on the Jews part. Of course, there's always going to be exceptions. But Jews really didn't have the restrictions on locality like, Jews today will tell you. Historians today will tell you.

Someone with that much money and that much power at home and abroad, they could live wherever that they want. And of course, people notice these things. People absolutely notice these things. And Russia was still, I mean, it was cracking under the pressures of a war like that with these massive casualties. but was still a healthy country when it came to essentially a cancer within their own society.

Thus, after a century and a quarter of existence, the Pala Settlement Jews failed and disappeared forever. And to add insult to injury, as Liusberg notes, this measure is so important in its content, amounting to the abolition of the Pala settlement, this measure for which had fought in vain for decades, the Russian Jews and the liberal circles of Russia went unnoticed, unnoticed because of the magnitude assumed by the war. Streams of refugees and immigrants were then overwhelming Russia. The refugee committee set up by the government also provided displaced Jews with funds to help settlements. Until the February Revolution, the Council on Refugees continued its work and allocated considerable sums to the various national committees, including the Jewish Committee.

It goes without saying they were added to this, funds that were added to this funds that it goes without saying that were added to this the funds contributed by many Jewish organizations that had embarked on this task with energy and efficiency among them was the union of Jewish craftsmen created in 1880 well established and already extending its action beyond the pale of settlement the UJC had developed a cooperation with the World Relief Committee and the Joint Committee for the distribution of funds for aid to war-affected Jews. All of them provided massive aid to the Jewish populations of Russia. The Joint had rescued hundreds of thousands of Jews in Russia and Austria, Hungary. In Poland, the UJC helped Jewish

candidates for emigration or settled as farmers. Because during the war, Jews, yeah, because during the war, Jews who lived in small villages had been driven, not without coercion by the German occupier to the work of the land. Yeah. It was all. There was also the Jewish prophylactic society founded in 1912. It had given itself permission not only to direct medical aid to the Jews, but also the creation of sanatoriums, dispensaries, the development of sanitary hygiene in general, the prevention of diseases,

the struggle against the physical deterioration of Jewish populations. Nowhere in Russia there existed yet organizations of this kind. Now in 1915, these detachments were organizing the Jewish emigrants all along the route and at their place of destination, supply centers, flying medical teams, countryside hospitals, shelters, and pediatric consultations. Also in 1915 appeared the Jewish Association for the Assistance of War Victims, benefiting of support from the Committee for Refugees and the so generously endowed by the state Zemgore Association of the Union of Zemstvos and the Union of Cities, as well as credit for America, the JAAW V.

set up a vast network of missionaries to help the Jews during their journey and their new place of residence with rolling kitchens, canteens, clothing distribution points, employment agencies, vocational training centers, childcare establishments, schools. What an admirable organization? Let us remember that approximately 250,000 refugees and displaced persons were taken care of. According to official figures, the number of these was already reaching 215,000 in August 1916, and there was also the political bureau near the Jewish deputies of the Fourth Duma, which resulted from an agreement between the Jewish popular group, the Jewish People's Party, the Jewish Democratic group, and the Zionists during the war it deployed considerable activity.

In spite of all the difficulties, the war gave a strong impulse to the spirit of initiative of the Jews whip their will to take charge. During these years, the considerable forces, hidden, hitherto in the depths of the Jewish consciousness matured and revealed to the open, immense reserves of initiative in their most varied fields of political and social action. In addition to the resources allocated by the Mutual Aid Society's JAWV benefited from the millions paid to it by the government. At no time did the Special Conference of Refugees reject our suggestion on the amount of aid. 25 million in a year and a half, which is infinitely more than what the Jews have collected,

the government paid here the wrongs of the general staff. As for the sums coming from the West, the committee could retain them for future use. You know, there's absolutely nothing that can happen that the Jews will not make completely about themselves. I'm almost certain that of all of the groups in Europe and Russia at the time, it's probably the Jews that suffered the least.

And the only, you know, Russia was, was assisting them. And I, I hope that they were assisting everybody, not just them. But it became a liberal celebrity cause to, you know, get them resettled in times of war. Because they suffered so badly, they suffered so badly at the hands of the evil Russians. you know, they raised a huge amount of money and God knows how much of it was actually spent on any kind of assistance. Chances are they end up lending that out at interest. But it made me laugh when he came across, where was it this thing? Settling them on the land.

I guess the Germans didn't get the memo at this point that they're not going to they're not going to do that and no matter what you do. You can't force someone, as it says, coercion here, to work the land that has no desire to do it. But the only reason the only reason that this was done, the only reason that this was done

was to satisfy the British, was to satisfy the Ross Child family. It was to satisfy the major bank. both in in Britain and and the US and it shows you the tremendous amount of power that they had and they had this power without any corresponding responsibility but that's you know Judaism in a nutshell I can't hear you air grid operator of Ireland's electricity grid is powering up the northwest we're planning to upgrade the electricity grid in your area and your input and local knowledge are vital and shaping these plans Our consultation closes on the 25th of November.

It is thus that with all these movements of the Jewish population, refugees, displaced persons, but also a good number of volunteers, the war significant. altered the distribution of Jews in Russia. Important settlements were established in towns far from the front, mainly Nisny Novgorod, a bunch of towns, but also in the capitals.

Yeah, but also in the capitals. Although the abolition of the Pala settlement did not concern St. Petersburg and Moscow, these two cities were now practically open. Often they would go there to join relatives or protectors who had settled there long ago. In the course of memoirs left by contemporaries, one discovers, for example, a dentist of Petersburg named Flaka. Ten-room apartment, footmen, servant, cook, well-off Jews were not uncommon, and in the middle of the war, while there was a shortage of housing in Petrograd, they opened up opportunities for Jews from elsewhere. Many of them changed their place of residence during those years. Families, groups of families that left no trace of history except sometimes in family chronicles of a private nature,

such as those of the parents of David Aspel. Quote, Aunt Ida left the coldness and solemnness of Shernigov at the beginning of the First World War to come and settle in Moscow. The new arrivals were often of a very modest condition, but some of them came to influential positions such as Posnansky, a clerk in the Petrograd Military Censorship Commission, who had the upper hand over all secret affairs. Remember, we talked about many episodes ago about the Jews not responding to the census. Russians were still very iffy about how many Jews lived in the country and who they were and what they did. Even their occupations, you know, they would claim to be craftsmen. I laughed at the Association for Jewish Craftsmen above because most of the time, that's not what they were.

It was a way to collect the subsidy. You know, it was nice to live in an accreditor nation like the Russian Empire that was feeding a good chunk of the world and industrializing very rapidly at this point because they had the money around. You know, Russia is in the same position today. Russia is still a creditor nation. But it's interesting to note that I wrote a paper. on this quite a while ago that the credit rating agencies, you know, pores, S&P, you know, always had Russia at like a B rating, despite the fact that they had no death. The debt that they had, they paid off early. And it's only because all of that stuff was politicized, just exactly like we're talking about here.

All of this is connected to the need for credit. There was really nowhere else to go. And that's a central issue. issue. It was not like it was even 50 years ago where you could finance a war. World War I, the massive, the mobilization, the weaponry, the training, just a huge numbers of men. The airplanes, later the tanks were extremely expensive. It was nothing like the Napoleonic era. So there was no way you could finance any of this without going to the Jews and it looks like there were really were there were no other options meanwhile the general

staff mechanically poured out its torrents of directives sometimes respected sometimes neglected to exclude Jews under the banner of all activities outside armed service secretary baker nurse telephonist and telegrapher telegrapher thus in order to prevent the anti-government propaganda is supposed to be carried out by jewish doctors and nurses they should be assigned not to hospitals or country infirmaries, but to places not conducive to propaganda activities, such as, for example, the advanced positions, the transport of the wounded on the battlefield. In another directive, expelled the Jews out of the Union of Zemsvus and the Union of Cities and the Red Cross, where they concentrate in great numbers to escape armed services, as did also, we note in

passage, tens of thousands of Russians. Use their advantageous position for propaganda purposes, as did any liberal, radical, and socialists who respected themselves, and above all spread rumors about the incompetence of the high command, which corresponded to a large extent to reality. Other bulletins warned against the danger of keeping the Jews in positions that brought them into contact with sensitive information. In the services of the Union of Zemsvus of the Western Front in April 1916, all the important branches of the administration, including those under the defense sequence.

secrecy are in the hands of the Jews and the names of those responsible for the registration and classification of confidential documents are cited, as well as that of the director of the Department of Public Information, who, by his functions, has free access to various services of the army at the rear or the front or in the regions. And nothing good could come of that. They were able to weasel their way in, not in combat positions, but in other, but equally powerful, uh, positions. Zarniklaus was at, at the point where he just didn't care what the British were going to say, they had to be removed, period. They had to be removed. And just like in the Vietnam War,

you know, it's the same, we keep saying this, it's the same thing over and over again, the same attitude, the same rejection, the same ideology. Um, Jews were a organized, crime group that despised, a parasite that despised their home country, which, frankly, had been very good to them financially and every other way. And they were promoting revolution at this point. I know I said this before, but the dislocation, disorientation, the alienation, the suffering that comes from a massive war is just what the left needs to, with so long as they have control over the press, they could talk about incompetence and all this, to promote their agenda and even

take over. And that's, if World War I didn't happen, um, Sir Nicholas would still be in power, would have been empowered to the rest for the rest of his life. Um, war creates exactly those chaotic conditions. Uh, I mean, you know, the Russo-Japanese war wasn't

severe enough. I mean, it was, you know, the front was huge and all that stuff, but it was nothing like World War I. and they use that disorientation to possibly reprogram the healthy elements of Russian society in a way that they like, reformating their their mentality. Now, of course, it didn't work on the peasants. We know that from when the Bolsheviks took over. But also remember, too, that even the liberals in private knew what the Jews were. you had some liberals who were not revolutionaries. And they knew that the Jews were.

Wherever they went, at least in Russia, they caused trouble. Now, in the Turkish Empire, for example, there wasn't a case. I'm talking about a few centuries earlier. They assisted them because Islam essentially is an outgrowth of Judaism. I've written on that too. the similarities are too close to be a coincidence. It wasn't quite their country, but they worked very hard for the interests of the Ottoman Empire,

because the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans oppressed the Orthodox and Catholic populations, Croatia, Serbia, Greece, etc. And that was all it took for the Jews to work very hard for them. That's not the case here. And any time a Jew, especially at Royal Russia, was not going to, in a position of power, it was not going to end well. However, there is no evidence that the ranting of the general staff

on the necessity of chasing the Jews from the Zemgur had any tangible results. Always well-informed, Lempka observes that the directives of the military authorities on the exclusion of the Jews from the Zemgore were not welcomed. A bulletin was published stating that all persons of Jewish confession who are dismissed by order of the authorities shall be reimbursed for two months with salary and travel allowances and with the possibility of being recruited prior prioritarily

in the establishments of the Zemgore at the rear of the front. The Zemgor was the darling of the influential Russian press. It is thus that it unanimously declined to reveal its sources of financing. In 25 months of war on September 1st, 1916, 464 million, rubles granted by the government. Equipment and supplies were delivered directly from state warehouses compared with only 9 million collected by Zemfus towns collect and collects. If the press refused to publish these figures, it is because it would have emptied it of its meaning the opposition between the philanthropic and charitable action of the Zemgore and that of a stupid, insignificant, and lame government.

Yeah, that's precisely it. there are professors who allegedly specialize in Russian history are telling students maybe right now that Russia under the czars of the totalitarian state that controlled the press propaganda supporting the monarchy was everywhere church was everywhere and we're seeing here that the exact opposite was true you know this is one area where censorship would have made a lot of sense all governments, I think without exception, maybe Russia is the only exception,

have a pretty massive censorship program during wartime. But when Jews are already in these positions, that's very hard to do. There is a case to be made for censorship, especially in times of stress like this, and especially where Jews are involved, where one of the first things they buy when they start making their money is the media.

none of the things that we've talked about before that come out of wartime are possible without a tightly controlled press and still and even during the Civil War monarchists didn't really grasp how important their own propaganda is to put out

Economic circumstances and geographical conditions meant that among the army suppliers, there were many Jews. A letter of complaint expressing the anger of the Orthodox Russian circles of Kiev, driven by their duty as patriots, points to Solomon Frankfurt, who occupied a particularly high position, that of a delegate of the ministry of agriculture to the supply of the army in bacon. It must be said that complaints about the disorganization caused by the requisitions were held all the way to the do were heard all the way to the duma also in

Kiev an obscure agronomist of the zemsfa of the region zelman koppel was immortalized by history because of having ordered an excessive requisition just before christmas 1916 he he deprived of sugar a whole district during the holidays in this case a complaint was also lodged against the local administration of the zemsfus does anything change I think that phrase was supply the army with bacon, which of course, observant Jews can't have. But if there were any, if there was any, you know, by this time, all the supply issues had been solved. At the beginning of the war, supply issues were everywhere in every country. Both Germany and Russia really suffered with it.

And no one expected it to be this huge and to be this massive slaughter. the Jews stepped in for their own self-interest and financed some of it, but that then just gave them control over the army and army supplies, which has something to do with their behavior on the battlefield. And that's one of the reasons, I'm sure of it, why Zarr Nicholas personally took over the army and became the supreme commander of the Russian army, roughly around this time, maybe a little after.

at the front and he moved to the front. He went to the front. I think this has something to do with it. We're going to do the next two paragraphs and then knock off because after that we're going to start talking about the monarchy and respute. Oh, good. Okay. In November 1916, the deputy N. Markoff stigmatizing in the Duma, the marauders of the rear and trappers of state property and national defense

designated as usual, the Jews in particular in Kiev, once again, It was Sheffdel, the member of the municipal council who blocked the warehouses and let rot more than 2,500 tons of flour, fish, and other products that the town kept in reserve. While at the same time, the friends of these gentlemen sold their own fish at grossly inflated prices. It was VI Demchko elected from Kiev to the Duma, who hid masses of Jews, rich Jews, and he enumerates them, to make them escape military service. It was also in Saratov, the engineer Levi, who supplied through the intermediary of the Commissioner Frankel, goods to the military industrial committee at inflated prices. But it should be noted that the military industrial committee set up by Gushkov were behaving in exactly the same way with the Treasury. So in a report of the Petrograd security department dated October 1916, we can read,

in Petrograd, trade is exclusively in the hands of the Jews who know perfectly the taste, aspirations and opinions of the man on the street. But this report also refers to the widespread opinion on the right, according to which among the people, the freedom enjoyed by Jews since the beginning of the war arouses more and more discontent. It is true there still exists officially some Russian firms, but they are in fact controlled by Jews. It is impossible to buy or to do anything without the intervention of a Jew. Bolshevik publications such as Kura, Kera, I can't pronounce his name. Book at the time in Petrograd did not fail to disguise reality by alleging that in May 1915

during the sacking of German firms and shops in Moscow, the crowd also attacked the Jewish establishments, which is false, and it was even the opposite that happened. During the anti-German riot, the Jews, because of the resemblance to their surnames, protected themselves by hanging on the front of their shops to placard. This shop is Jewish. and they were not touched. The Jewish trade was not to suffer in all the years of the war. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure if that happened. I think there was some attacks on the Jews. They were very noticeable. But no Jew is going to allow product to rot, as we see in the previous paragraph, and not sell it unless there's a very specific reason for. it and they were doing everything they can to make sure that Russia, the Russian army was not properly supplied. And again, this is a result of all the pressure that the British and the

Americans put on their so-called allies put on Russia. Jews in Britain, Jews in the U.S., in 1918 when the U.S. got involved, were not doing this. Jews in Germany were split. but in Russia they had already very quickly dominated all of these areas and it's part of the reason why Russia struggled so much, at least in the first half of World War I. The Jews realized that having Russia lose would possibly mean the end of the monarchy and the creation of a government that they can control. That was their ultimate wet dream and that was going on here in 1916. Of course, the war still had two more years to go.

But that first half of the war for Russia, these problems, people make fun of the supply issues, you know, not enough uniform, not enough weaponry. Of course, Germany had the same problems. France had the same problems. They eventually solved them. But in the Russian case, it was very specifically done to harm the Russian war effort. and when they took over in the Bolshevik Revolution, well, you didn't have these problems now.

You had the inefficiency of central planning, of course. That wasn't deliberate. You know, this was a specific, this was exactly what people like us today and then say that Jews would do in these positions of power. They hate us. They hate Russia. They hate the monarchy. They hate Christ.

They hate orthodoxy. there's no way they're fighting for us, except for the occasional weirdo on their fringes. And even in positions of power, in things like supply and logistics, they can't be trusted. And there's no question about it. They drove up prices in Petersburg and in Moscow.

So much of the, and it's why the revolutionary movement had such a Jewish flavor to it, especially in the Bolshevik Party. Of course, the Bund was Jewish by definition. But Lenin had a policy of defeatism, which means we need Russia to lose this war, and we have to destroy anyone who wants to rally behind the flag,

even for, you know, even just for a liberal point of view. That has to be eliminated. And Jews were the perfect group for this. This was their, this was, we're getting to the point where this is their time. The Russian monarchy, we're talking October 1916. The Russian monarchy has exactly one year left. All right. We'll come back for part 55 in a couple days.
