You know, I need to get more sleep. I work a long day, very intellectually taxing day. And then I go like, you know, watch videos about cassowaries for like three hours. Or whether or not an emu can kill you. Is that what the kids mean by doom scrolling?
Starting point is 00:04:01 I don't think that's it. But if I didn't do that, I'd get far more sleep than I do presently. Yeah, I have a tendency to fall down the history of this certain weapon. Like, you know, like, oh, this Peter, P. Iter 32, 1905 or 1908. And then I just start, I have to, I watch one video and I have to watch every single one of them. Yeah, yeah, I've done that. Doom scrolling is not with, not about anything. in particular.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Right. It's just about, you know, usually the shorts or the TikTok shorts and going through them because they're so brief. Yeah. That's, yeah. Yeah, I know that. But, but it feels like it, though. It feels like that's what they meant.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Reading about caswallers or, you know, all these little videos for whether or not, you know, they can kill you. But, um, um, I think the Australians fought a war against them. The great EME war. Yeah, well, I'm thinking about the cassowary, the actual living dinosaur. Okay. You know, yeah, so I don't think that's it, but I know if I met one, I know exactly what to do.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Well, that's the benefit of it. I mean, I'm sure that I'm, I'm sure we're safe here, but you never know what's going to escape from a zoo or an Arab prince's house. That's right. I tried to Mike Tyson's house. All right. Picking up where we left off last time. A very prosaic and entirely new phenomena reinforced a victory of the Bolsheviks. These occupied important positions from which many advantages resulted, notably the enjoyment
Starting point is 00:05:58 in both capitals of vacant apartments freed by their owners, former aristocrats, now on the run. In these apartments could live a whole tributary flock of the former pale of settlement. This was a real exodus. GA Landau writes, The Jews have climbed the stairs of power and occupied a few summits. From there, it is normal that they brought, as they do everywhere, in any environment, their relatives, friends, companions from their youth. A perfectly natural process.
Starting point is 00:06:32 The granting of functions to people who are known, trusted, protected, and simply begging for your favors. This process multiplied the number of Jews in the Soviet state apparatus. We will not say how many Zenoviev's wife, how many Zenov's wife, Lilina, thus brought parents and relatives, nor how Zinoviev distributed positions to his own. They are the focus, but the influx not to have been noticed at the moment was enormous and concerns tens of thousands of people. The people transmigrated en masse from Odessa to Moscow. It is known that Trotsky himself gratified his father, whom he moderately loved, of a soft gas in the suburbs of Moscow. This is how they dominate the Ivy Leaks, for example,
Starting point is 00:07:19 and why the Ivy Leaks have this unearned reputation of the places where geniuses go, because they generally only hire each other. They dominate these, many departments, and they will bring in, especially at the teaching, you know, faculty level, they'll make sure to bring in one after another, after another, after another. You know, the more elite the university is, the more corruption you're going to find,
Starting point is 00:07:50 the more you're going to find people like Angela Davis or Maya Angelou or any of these people. And I did have something on this many years ago about just this endless self-promotion. you know in the IQ ranking of the world is like 40 40th or something russia's eighth Iran is seventh depending on who you look at um you know it isn't there isn't there necessary their their IQ level intelligence it's um it's their ability to network and no one can network like them you're not going to win in a network war against the jews These migrations can be followed throughout biographies. So that of David, not to be confused with Mark Asbel.
Starting point is 00:08:43 In 1919, still a kid, he left Chemigoff where he was born to come to Moscow, where his two aunts already lived. He first lived in the house of one of them, Ida, a wealthy merchant of the first guild, whose husband had returned from America. and then with the other, Leolia, who was housed in the first house of the Soviets, the National, with all the best of the Soviet Union. Their neighbor Ulrich, is that Lars, who would later become... Yeah, that's what I thought of.
Starting point is 00:09:14 He is a Jew, by the way. He is a Jew. No shock there. Their neighbor Ulrich, who would later become famous, said jokingly, why don't we open a synagogue in the National where only Jews live. A whole Soviet elite then left St. Petersburg to settle in the second house of the Soviet
Starting point is 00:09:34 to Metropolis. In the third, the seminary, Boyademsky Street. In the fourth, Mochavaya Wozzejanka Street. And in the fifth, Chermet Tieski Street. These tenants received from a special distribution center, abundant parcels, caviar, cheese, butter, smoke sturgeon, were never lacking. on their tables. We are in 1920. Everything was special. Designed especially for the new elite, kindergartens, schools, clubs, libraries. In 1921 to 22, the year of the murderous famine of the Volga
Starting point is 00:10:10 and the help of TARA. In their model school, the canteen was fed by the ARA Foundation and served American breakfast, rice pudding, hot chocolate, white bread, and fried eggs. And no one remembered that the day before, it was vociferated. in the classrooms that the bourgeois should be hung high on the lantern. The children in the neighboring houses hated those of the Soviet houses and at the first opportunity went after them. Well, what have I been saying from the beginning? What have I been saying for 20 years about what the Soviet Union was and what Marxism
Starting point is 00:10:46 truly is? The ARA refers to the American Relief Association, which Woodrow Wilson sent it to action to feed the elite of the USSR. So what we have is that you have all of this housing suddenly becoming available because their non-Jewish occupants have been kicked out and then they're now brought in and they seem to have no problem with it.
Starting point is 00:11:19 This is perfectly acceptable and this has everything to do. This is why when we say the early Soviet Union with a Jewish government. This is what we mean. And it was done at every level. And they had to bring them in from all over the place. But including, you know, the U.S., Germany, anywhere they could.
Starting point is 00:11:43 And the same, you know, we talked about it. We talked about President of Mexico. How they even went to, you know, brought more Jews into Cuba and Mexico to create the Communist Party. but this is at the exact same time while they're torching churches and they're murdering priests and as the famine is beginning farmers are starting to well many farmers are being killed by not giving into the
Starting point is 00:12:19 grain requisition unit were sent out and it really didn't matter because the ruling class had the ARA They had the U.S. They had the Western Europe. Murderous famine in the Volga. I don't know what the T-A-R-A is, but whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:12:39 It's a foreign relief organization or Jewish relief organizations. It doesn't matter. Not to mention wealthy Jews throughout Europe taking care of them. There was no way if you were a Jew of any political knowledge whatsoever, anywhere in Europe, you knew in 1920 this was a Jewish government. It had nothing to do. The words like bourgeois and proletarian were meaningless. Not in maybe even in theory, but certainly in practice.
Starting point is 00:13:14 The Jews alone have the right. And Moses Hess was the one who brought all of this together. The fact that they had no problem with this, the fact that they had absolutely no problem with moving in or even murdering the tenants of an original house and simply taking over. And of course, the children of the children of the neighbors, neighboring houses hated those because because they tend to be obnoxious. I've been on I've been on a couple of cruises and I was a very young man. My parents took me on and the Jews were the Jewish kids were extremely obnoxious.
Starting point is 00:13:52 You always knew who they were. Many of them got kicked off, which is actually, you know, contemporary, I guess. But this was this was a formation of a government. It wasn't just building the Department of Agriculture, whatever. It was creating an entirely Jewish culture. And they're building synagogues. They weren't torching synagogues. They were actually building them, usually with foreign money.
Starting point is 00:14:25 And they were already trading with Western Europe and the U.S. And this is the greatest slaughter of our time, is just getting started here. And this is what the Jews are doing. Because the Jews were at the foundation of it from the start. So this paragraph is extremely important. It gives a strong evidence what I've been arguing for a long time. Ready for huge savings?

Trump on Dunbiug, Kush Farage. The NEP came. The tenants of the National then moved into cozy apartments or pavilions that had previously belonged
Starting point is 00:16:39 to aristocrats or bourgeois. In 1921, spend the summer in Moscow, where you suffocate? No, you are invited to an old mansion, now confiscated in the outskirts of Moscow. There, everything is in the state, as in the days of the former owners, except that high fences are erected around these houses, that guards are posted at the entrance. Wives of the commissioners began to frequent the best spas of the West. We see the development owed to the scarcity of food, of misery, and the concealment of food stuff, a secondhand trade and a whole traffic of goods. Having bought for peanuts, an entire
Starting point is 00:17:15 lot of commodities from emigrating merchants, Aunt Ida and Uncle Mecca sold them under the table and thus became probably the richest people in all of Moscow. However, in 1926, they were sentenced to five years imprisonment for economic counter-revolution, to which we added at the end of the NEP 10 years of camp. Yeah, the NEP, of course, is the new economic policy. policy, which permitted limited market sales, both for agriculture and for anything, but especially for agriculture, because, you know, they realized that even in the short term, this government was going to fall unless they could feed people. And not just Jews either, believe it or not.
Starting point is 00:18:02 They need to need others. There's just a tiny handful of Jews in this country. and so it was a market reform. You did have economic growth. You did have trading in the countryside. But it was soon to end, as it suggests here, where a far more tighter for, you know, war communism comes into existence. And then, of course, eventually collectivization.
Starting point is 00:18:33 But that's what the NEP is. and the fact that this entire thing, isn't this how mafia organizations function? This is exactly how they're depicted. And every movie I've ever seen, and every history book I've ever read, this is how they're depicted. I am not out of line by saying that the Jews operated as a sort of a mafia group in Russian society from the very beginning. Nothing changed here except now the Tsar is gone and they can take over and this is what they do. Let us also quote, When the Bolsheviks became the government,
Starting point is 00:19:08 all sorts of individuals from the Jewish subproletariat joined them, wishing to get their share. And as free trade and private enterprise were forbidden, many Jewish families saw their daily lives greatly modified. The middle-aged people were mostly deprived, while the younger ones rid of all spiritual ballast by having social careers were able to maintain their elders, hence to the excessive number of Jews in the Soviet state apparatus,
Starting point is 00:19:32 note the author does not justify this process by calling it a unique issue but he notes with grief the aspect that counts this destructive process did not meet the resistance it would have required in the Jewish milieu on the contrary it found their voluntary executants and a climate of sympathy executives in the climate of sympathy it is thus that many Jews entered the Soviet ruling class but this process, however a cult it was, go unnoticed by the disadvantaged Russian social strata. And how could the man in the street react? Either by Jirs, Rosa of the Tsarvnakos, the husband of Kaika of the Cheka, or by funny stories from those that flooded Russia as early as 1918. This Vesotsky tea, Brodsky tea, Trotsky, Russia, and in Ukraine it,
Starting point is 00:20:29 gave hop, harvest workers, all Jews are bosses. And they began to whisper a new slogan, the Soviets without the Jews. Yeah, among many other things. So many works I've read on the Jewish history of this era, written by Jews, they have no clue as to why anyone would dislike them. They come up with all kinds of all their backward workers coming into the cities. just that they're ignorant.
Starting point is 00:21:04 They're, you know, we're doing well. Our restrictions are lifted and therefore they hate us. Things like that. But ultimately coming down to the fact that it's irrational to hate us. Keep in mind, this is also the era where Lenin is laying down the anti, or the very strict. laws against anti-Semitism. So, you know, is it going to go unnoticed?
Starting point is 00:21:38 No. No, it didn't go unnoticed, especially by the poor. Just one more nail in the coffin of the ridiculous communist idea that had anything to do with the workers at all. And by the way, later, these kind of jeers were taken as pogroms later to strengthen. later on to strengthen the anti-Semitism laws of the empire. Everything became a pogrom then. You called the Jew a name in the street, even if he desperately deserved it. Did it a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:22:18 It became a pogrom. And in the Western press, a program breaks out in Kiev or something like that. And anything to give them the excuse to strengthen it. And during wartime, now it's true that the, for those laws against anti-Jewish, anti-Jewish thought, jeering would be included in this. It wasn't just, you know, ideological anti-Semites. No, it was just, this was, this became deeper and deeper over time and got even deeper under Stalin. I want to keep saying this had nothing to do
Starting point is 00:23:02 Stalin was complete was as phyosemitic as everybody else he was surrounded by a lot of these same Jews some of them were purged it's true but I've said before there was reason for it this was a revolutionary era
Starting point is 00:23:18 early Stalin was very different it was building a state a lot of these people are useless when building a state And if you haven't heard it before, this explains a lot of his Stalin's purges of the military. Yeah, these were revolutionary era officers who were very good in that kind of warfare. But in terms of fighting Germans or fighting Chinese, it's absolutely out of the question, or Japanese, I should say. They were absolutely out of the question.
Starting point is 00:23:54 they call it anti-Semitic because of all of these Jews. I'm sick of them already. But they went so far as that, you know, the word of pogrom, of course, like all the other words that they used at the time, totally lost meaning. These years, these examples that you have here and the mockery and everything else, tells me by the poor, by actual proletarians, which the communist hated and despised and didn't. understand. These were considered programs. These people had to be removed. And these, these bourgeois people, by the way, now were considered proletarians in Soviet ideology. The Stalin sent 12 main officers to Spain during the Spanish Civil War to help the,
Starting point is 00:24:48 help the Republican government. I want to say 11, but it's at least 10 of them were Jewish. and upon return, all 12 of them were executed. Were they all executed? Yeah. They were all disposed of. The bulk of his purges from the military were simply retired. Although it might be true because Stalin, whenever you had any foreign connections, that's why Sultan Ethan ended up in the gulag because he was taking POW.
Starting point is 00:25:23 You had any connection with a foreign country. You lived there for a while. You couldn't be trusted anymore. So, and that's exactly why Solzincetian didn't actually do anything. This goes for a whole lot of people. Plus the fact that the Gulags became a huge part of the Soviet economy. The Gulag's, it did exist at this point. They weren't as systematized as they were later on.
Starting point is 00:25:52 But they did, they built things. They built canals and they built bridges and they did, they did things. like that like bridge on the river Kwai kind of kind of work but yeah purging purging of that and the war that was going on in Spain was precisely this revolutionary kind of a war but that's not regular warfare in the sense that it would be against Japan or or or Germany or anybody else two very different kinds of officers revolutionary officers versus actual regular state uh officers promoted by merit two very different groups of people groups of people.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And the purge, generally speaking, they were just retired. But those sent abroad, yeah, there may be some truth to that. They may have been executed. I'm not 100% sure. But because they were tainted from any foreign connection, especially as far away as Spain, if they weren't executed, they were sent to the Gulag.

Starting point is 00:28:21 The co-authors of the book of Russian and the Jews became alarmed in 1924. It is clear that not all Jews are Bolsheviks and all Bolsheviks are not Jews, but there is no need today to prove the zealous participation of the Jews and the martyrdom imposed on the ensanguinate Russia by the Bolsheviks. What we must, on the contrary, is to try to elucidate in a calm manner how this work of destruction was refracted in the consciousness of the Russian people. The Russians had never seen any Jews in command before. They now saw them today at every step, infested with a ferocious and unlimited power. This concept that not all Jews are Bolsheviks, not all Bolsheviks are Jews,
Starting point is 00:29:13 that's usually you get, that's the first argument you get from a normie. And it's completely irrelevant. It has nothing to do with anything. It's a huge proportion. There were plenty of Jews that benefited. Fermat, that were necessarily members of the party, I think all Jews in Russia benefited from it at the time. So why that is a go-to argument. That stupid argument is a go-to thing for people criticizing us.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I don't know. It doesn't mean anything. No one's claiming that. No one has ever claimed that. Yes, it was a Jewish government, but it doesn't imply that all the Jews were Bolsheviks. two very different things. To answer the question of Judaism's responsibility in the emergence of Bolshevik Jews,
Starting point is 00:30:06 we must first consider the psychology of non-Jews, that of all these Russians who suffer directly from the atrocities committed. The Jewish actors of public life who wish to prevent any new bloody tragedy to save the Jews of Russia from new programs must take account of this fact. We must understand the psychology of the Russians
Starting point is 00:30:24 who suddenly found themselves under the authority of an evil, arrogant, rude, self-confident and imprudent brood. This is all quoting. This isn't Solzhenyson talking. Right. It is not for the purpose of settling accounts that we must remember history,
Starting point is 00:30:42 nor to reassume mutual accusations, but to understand how, for example, it was possible for important layers of a perfectly correct Jewish society to have tolerated an enormous participation of Jews on the rise, 1918, of a state that was not only insensitive to the Russian people,
Starting point is 00:30:58 foreign to Russian history, but which, moreover, inflicted on the population all the outbursts of terror. You know, we hear, I grew up with Jews and Jewish organizations using, you know, churches and everything else as a way to, that we had to reflect on ourselves. How could normal Germans have accepted Hitler? Like Hitler, you know, to the point where they were claiming he was hypnotizing them with a wand. you know, or that he was using a spell. That's how desperate they got to come up with something. They did it during the Serbian war. Serbs have to have to look inward.
Starting point is 00:31:42 They do it all the time. But not only because of what's going on, what happened in the Soviet Union, which is far more evil what's going on in Gaza, but both of these. And I think Gaza may be getting people to start thinking, you know, maybe this is the only time they've done this. Remember, this is at a time of extreme deprivation for Russians and certainly Russian Orthodox people.
Starting point is 00:32:10 The war, I guess, you know, he's talking about 1918, the Civil War was raging, had a few years left. But we know one thing that the Jews will never take stock of themselves. They have no idea how to look inward. They have no conception of what it is to take responsibility for evildoing because they're incapable of it in their minds. The presence of Jews alongside the Bolsheviks raises questions not because it would induce a foreign origin to this power. When we speak of the abundance of Jewish names in the Revolutionary Russia, we paint a picture of nothing new. How many Germanic and Baltic names have figured for a century and a half to two centuries in the Tsarist administration? The real question is, in what direction did this power work?
Starting point is 00:32:59 D.S. Pazmanic, however, gives us little reflection. It gives us this reflection. Let all the Russians who are capable of reflecting ask themselves whether Bolshevism, even with Len in its head, would have triumphed if there had been in Soviet Russia of satisfied and educated peasantry owning land. Could all the sages of Zion gathered together, even with a Trotsky at their head, be able to bring about the great, chaos in Russia. He is right. They could never have done so. I don't know if he's being sarcastic because they were. They were landowners. Literacy, however you might define that, was through the roof at this point. Spending on education, starting in the reign of Nicholas I first, was massive.
Starting point is 00:33:48 You did have a satisfied, educated, peasantry owning land. You did. So that means they have to tell another lie and say that they didn't. I mean, I've had to go into classes. And when I was teaching, it was a textbook would say something completely different than I was saying. And textbook usually would say that Russia is in such a bad state because somehow this revolution had to have occurred. That,
Starting point is 00:34:16 I guess, it's because people were bad off. That's what historians today are like. And that's how bad off they are. They had to have been starving and everything. Well, there was nothing of the kind. Russia was feeding. the world at the time. I'm talking about prior to the war. And I love this reference to
Starting point is 00:34:34 German and Baltic names. What the hell does that have to do with anything? Germans and the Baltz in the administration were extremely loyal to the Tsarist cause, even today. Anyway, it's just a silly thing. They had to lie about history to justify what happened later on. But the first to ask the question should be the Jews more than the Russians. This episode of history should call out to them today. The question of the mass participation of the Jews in the Bolshevik administration and the atrocities committed by the Jews should be elucidated in a spirit of far-sighted analysis of history. It is not admissible to evade the question by saying it was the scum, the renegades of Judaism. We do not have to answer for them.
Starting point is 00:35:25 is right to remind me of my own remarks about the communist leaders of any nation. They have all turned away from their people and poured into the inhuman. I believe it. But Pasmannock was right to write in the 20s. We cannot confine ourselves to saying that the Jewish people do not answer for the acts committed by one or the other of its members. We answer for Trotsky as long as we have not disassociated ourselves from him. Now to disassociate oneself does not mean to turn away. On the contrary, it means rejecting actions to the end and learning from them.
Starting point is 00:35:59 You watch Happy Days as a kid? Yep. Do you remember when Fonzie couldn't say he was wrong? Yeah. He sounded like he had. Remember that episode? That's what this is like. They're trying to come up with something.
Starting point is 00:36:13 They can't say that they were responsible. So they'll come up with all kinds of, you know, all kinds of gymnastics. Even those who are saying things that are positive. But he could come out and say that they're wrong. It's just like Fonji. He couldn't. It couldn't come out. And to this day, the same thing goes with right wing, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:36 sort of right wing, Neil Conjews in America, the Ben Shapiro's, that type. They refuse. Even they won't. They won't answer for any of this. I have never come across a Jew that was willing. or group Jews somewhere that was willing to answer for Trotsky and not just Trotsky, an army of people that we're talking about here. And, of course, Arthur Fonsorelli was played by Henry Winkler, who just happened to be Jewish.
Starting point is 00:37:09 That is very true. However, he gets a pass from me because he's cool. I've studied Trotsky's biography extensively, and I agreed that he did not have any specifically Jewish attachments but was rather a fanatical internationalists. Well, I mean, does this mean that a compatriot like him is easier to incriminate than the others? But as soon as his star rose in the Ottoman 1917, Trotsky became, for far too many people, a subject of pride and for the radical left of the Jews of America, a true idol. What can I say of America? But of everywhere else as well, There was a young man in the camp where I was interned in the 50s, Vladimir Gershini, a fervent socialist,
Starting point is 00:37:53 an internationalist who had kept a full conscience of his Jewishness. I saw him again in the 60s after our release, and he gave me his notes. I read there that Trotsky was the Prometheus of October for the sole reason that he was Jewish. Quote, he was a Prometheus, not because he was born such, but because he was a child of the Prometheus people, this people who, if it was not attached to the rock of obtuse, wickedness by the chains of a patentate latent hostility would have done much more than he did for the good of humanity. I remember, Prometheus is another word for Lucifer.
Starting point is 00:38:30 It's that being that revolted from the gods and tried to make man completely self-sufficient, which is what the sickle on the Soviet flag is, the sycly of the scythe of Saturn separating heaven from earth that there was no connection between there was no heaven or if there were there was no connection with it but boy if he if
Starting point is 00:39:04 you know I also have studied Trotty's biography and it's amazing the wild coincidence that he has surrounded himself with so many Jews I couldn't number them no matter how long no matter how long I lived here but that's why it probably Prometheus, Lucifer, they have a very, very similar, sometimes I use the words in my writings on this subject simultaneously.
Starting point is 00:39:28 It's the same exact concept. Prometheus tried to hate God or hated the gods, and so by giving man fire, among other things, he would make man not need gods anymore. So Prometheus Lucifer is a phrase I use quite a bit. Airgrid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid, is powering up the northwest.

Those, on the contrary, and especially Israeli historians,
Starting point is 00:41:29 who see Jewish hedge money as a victory of the Judaic spirit, those ones exalt their belonging to Jewishness. It was as early as the 20s, the Civil War ended that arguments were made to exonerate the Jews. From what? I.O. Levin reviews them in the collection Russian and Jews. The Bolshevik Jews were not so numerous as that. There is no reason why a whole people should respond to the acts of a few. The Jews were persecuted in Tsarist Russia. During the Civil War, the Jews had to flee the pogroms by seeking refuge with the Bolsheviks, etc. And he rejected them by arguing that it was not a matter of criminal responsibility, which is always individual,
Starting point is 00:42:12 but a moral responsibility. And this is normal. I've heard this, you know, a million times. You know, we can, we can give someone a list of names and it won't move them. Special pleading is very hard. A special pleading is a tough position to be in and I can never do it. I don't think you could ever do it. But the arguments were made to exonerate the Jews. Again, you asked from what? Yeah, they were, they only supported the Bolsheviks because they were treated very badly by Tsarish Russia.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Well, we spent 60 episodes showing how that's not the case. In their imagination, it was the case. But it seems that Russian Jews lived in. in this make-believe world. Whether you were an internationalist or not, that was irrelevant. Moses Hess would say that was irrelevant. They created a world where they were constantly under threat from Gentiles. That's not an argument.
Starting point is 00:43:32 But the constant Jewish demands for everyone else that they don't like to look inward and to change. As a white man, I have to change, we need to change our point of view. Remember those tweets after George Floyd. And of course, Jews were pretending to be white at that point. This kind of argument was not permitted. And it wasn't a few.
Starting point is 00:43:57 This electrified the Jewish world in Europe, in Western Europe, Central Europe, and in the old Russian Empire. They absolutely electrified them. The only thing that caused someone of a rift was Trotsky being murdered. That didn't mean that Sullen was not surrounded by Jews consistently. And as we'll get to at some point, in the early 70s, the Jews pulled back from the Soviet Union. It wasn't profiting them anymore.
Starting point is 00:44:33 The Israelis were doing really well warfare-wise. and that's where Jackson Vanek came from and then as we get this national Bolivism, Soviet patriotism which is how Putin was raised it was a sort of a non-Jewish Soviet Union even though Endropov
Starting point is 00:44:54 was Jew so you know it's this is special pleading and this is moving the goldposts and every other fallacy you could think of. Pasmatic thought it was, Pasmatic thought it impossible to be relieved of moral responsibility,
Starting point is 00:45:17 but he consoled himself by saying, why should the mass of the Jewish people answer for the turpitudes of certain commissioners? It is profoundly unjust. However, to admit that there is a collective responsibility for the Jews is to recognize the existence of a Jewish nation in its own. From the moment when the Jews ceased to be a nation, from the day when they are Russians, Germans, Englishmen of Judaic Confession, it is then that they will shake off the shackles of collective responsibility.
Starting point is 00:45:44 What does that mean? What is becoming, that would mean conversion to Lutheranism as a German or Orthodox as Russian, right? Judaic confession, he's assuming that this is a religious issue, not an ethnic one. And I have the feeling he's deliberately, now he knows it's not true. he's talking to Gentiles now. Englishmen of Judaic confession. Well, Disraeli was a Jew, Prime Minister of England.
Starting point is 00:46:14 He converted, of course. And he was well aware of this dishonesty. No, it was, they were going to be as cohesive as before, but they wouldn't be as obviously Jewish. You know, and it goes with the Soviet practice of changing your name. All these name changes. see in Hollywood, you see it everywhere to avoid any actual responsibility. Now, the 20th century has rightly taught us to recognize the Hebrew nation as such, with its
Starting point is 00:46:48 anchorage in Israel, and the collective responsibility of a people, of the Russian people too, of course, is inseparable from its capacity to build a morally worthy life. Yes, they are abounding. The arguments that explain why the Jews stood by the Bolsheviks, and we will discuss others very solid when we talk about the Civil War. Nevertheless, if the Jews of Russia remember this period only to justify themselves, it will mean that the level of their national consciousness has fallen, that this consciousness will have lost itself. The Germans could also challenge their responsibility for the Nazi period by saying they were not real Germans. They were the
Starting point is 00:47:27 drugs of society. They did not ask for our opinion. But this people answers for its past, even in its ignominious periods. How to respond by endeavoring to conscientize it, to understand it. How did such a thing happen? Where lies our fault? Is there a danger that this will happen again? Yeah, I'm not going to say anything here.
Starting point is 00:47:53 We know why there's really no responsibility. But again, it's something else that's imaginary in the Jewish consciousness. It is in this spirit that the Jewish people must respond to their revolutionary assassins as well as the columns of well-disposed individuals who put themselves at their service. It is not a question here of answering before other peoples, but before oneself, before one's conscience and before God. As we Russians must answer, both for the pogroms and our incendiary peasants, insensible to all pity, and for our red soldiers who have fallen into madness and our sailors transformed into wild beasts. What is he talking about? You know, he just settled.
Starting point is 00:48:35 It's this is so... All right. I know he's not a boomer. He doesn't have to be a policy. Yeah, I know. I know what it is. I know what it is. He's like he's a politician here.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I have spoken of them with enough depth. I believe in the red wheel. And I will add an example here. The Red Guard, A.R. Basav, in charge of escorting Shingayayov. This man passionate of justice, a popular intercessor, began by collecting money from the sister of the prisoner. as a tip and to finance his transfer from the Peter and Paul Fortress of the Marienski Hospital, and a few hours later, in the same light, he leads the hospital some sailors who coldly
Starting point is 00:49:14 shoot down Shengarayov and Kokokin in this individual so many homegrown traits. Answer yes as one answers for a member of one's family. For if we are absolved of all responsibility for the actions of our compatriots, It is a very notion of a nation which then loses all true meaning. I'm not going to stand by him on this one, especially when it's his own words that in the past that has shown that there's not much to be responsible for, that the revolutionary movement was almost exclusively Jewish. And this is where this all came from. You can't just start murdering people as a group and expect nothing to happen. there were any pogroms at all, that's what they were.
Starting point is 00:50:07 But he is right, though, in terms of the abstract concept of responsibility. You know, we're a member of a nation. It's not just the present, it's also the future in the past that we always have to deal with. But Russians have nothing to absolutely have nothing to apologize for or to look at themselves for or look inward for at any point. Anything that they did in Ukraine especially was done for very, very good reason. They were driven to the wall and we spent 60 whatever episodes explaining exactly how that was done. It is tiresome.
Starting point is 00:50:56 It is very boomerous to say something like that. but I'm not sure what he means by it exactly. You know, just taking his faith value. He's well aware of peasants don't just start killing people for no reason. Incendiary peasants. What, for what, for fun? It's easy to say that Russians went along with the party later on because there was no other option.
Starting point is 00:51:33 If you wanted a career, you had to join the party. You got to go, okay, you could give that to them. Or people, especially important people, who joined the party because they didn't want anyone hurt in their family. That's another thing. You've got to give them that one, too. That's not the same thing. That's not what we're talking about here. But, you know, these, any kind of violence was in direct response to the constant violence from the constant violence from
Starting point is 00:52:03 the Jewish quarter in Kiev, in Odessa, throughout Ukraine, throughout the panel of settlement. And we've been dealing with this, and he's been dealing with this, in this book, for pages and pages and pages. I don't know.

All right. Next episode, we start a new chapter, chapter 16, during the Civil War. I will, as I always do, please go to the show notes or please go to the descriptions in the videos and all the links to support Dr. Johnson are there.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Please do that. And yeah, once again, Dr. Johnson, thank you. This is another chapter down and that much more education and information to go forward with. And if I do say so myself, They haven't changed so many parallels to today. Well, that's why we study history, especially in this case. I can't go a paragraph in this book without seeing obvious parallels. It's the same mentality.
Starting point is 00:54:47 This is how nations are. Nations develop a consciousness. They develop various defense mechanisms. It's how they function. That's how you can tell one nation. from another most of the time. And of course, they're going to act the same way. It's worked.
Starting point is 00:55:08 But it's very sad that right now, you know, the semester has already started. You have students being told in American and British universities that the Bolshek revolution had nothing to do with Jews. There were slightly more Jews than normal in it, but that's only because of, of Zara's anti-Semitism. That's how it's stated. That's how it's still stated. But thank God there people like us out there. And you giving me this platform to tell the truth.
Starting point is 00:55:44 And it's just, which is a huge deal. I have the freedom that those professors don't have. Well, yeah, this is the only way truth is getting. I don't know if you notice something. Netanyahu. is not going around CNN and MSNBC and trying to get his message out there. He's going on podcasts. That should tell.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Yeah. That should tell. I have noticed that. Zonski was doing the same thing a few months ago. But remember, this is why Stalin had to be created into an anti-Semite. And almost a Russian national socialist. They had to create this image of him, which is going to. completely false. I fell for it many years ago. It sounds right. It sounds intuitive,
Starting point is 00:56:43 but they needed to be victims too. Well, we're victims too of this. I mean, you know, Stalin, all of his purges were about us. It's all about us. So how come it could be a Jewish USSR when, you know, Stalin took over in very shortly after the Civil War was over. And, and a decade after that started purging Jews. He was purging old Bolsheviks. There were all Jews. So, of course, it's going to look like it's anti-Semitic, but it's not. He had no choice.
Starting point is 00:57:20 He's going to purge old Bolsheviks. They were going to be Jews. That was the nature of the old Bolshevik movement. He didn't persecute them as Jews. That wasn't the point, and he never said that. Lenin's anti-Semitic legislation was still on the books. And he told Western newspapers that all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:43 So it's that there was, you know, that's a myth that has to die. It's taken a long time to die. But I think the entire 20th century historical world is imaginary as far as American professors or journalists are concerned. That has to be completely rewritten. And this is what my career is for better or for worse. All right, Dr. Johnson. Thank you very much. Alright my friend.
