This is episode 81. Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today? Well, did you tell everyone while we were not doing this for a couple weeks? I didn't want to tell you now. I didn't want to say anything without your permission. So go ahead. I was in the hospital for four and a half days with all kinds of things that I've been putting off for years. And I finally just, you know, everything gave in at once.

And I'm back. I'm like 75, 80%. you know, I normally don't get sick, so I let everything go, although in this case, you know, for a decade. So I'm better off. I'm ready to get back to work. And that's the reason for my absence. But I have to tell you something. And I don't know how many listeners understand this. I think that I had a glimpse into hell, and there was a specific reason.

I was very briefly put on beta blockers. I don't have a huge, it's not really a heart thing necessarily, but, and I wouldn't call these nightmares. These were metaphysical. These were, these were total dissolution. These were so frightening that despite my extraordinary capacity to describe things, I can't describe them to you. These were the nightmares.

I don't even, they're nightmares as a very weak term. for them. Beta blockers are known for that, but maybe not that severe. So I said it's a toss-up. If I was going to die, maybe it would be, I'd have to think about it. But it was a horrible, horrible chemical that they gave. Now I'm on something else. But beta blockers are straight from hell. For what the, you know, I hated going to sleep and everything. It was, I'm convinced that I saw something. I wasn't near dead. None of this was life-threatening or anything, but beta blockers,

the nightmares were beyond extraordinary. Let me put it that way. I can only imagine. And speaking of hell, speaking of hell, we're at the worst part of this book. Soviet Union in the 1920s is as close as a normal person it's going to get.

This was a depressing, demented decade until Lenin's death and in 25 or so. And this was a period of all these social experimentation. The Jews had total free reign. It was a horrible error. So, and that's where we pick up, I guess.

All right, here we go. Back at it. Chapter 18 in the 1920s. The 20s in the Soviet Union was an epoch with a unique atmosphere. a grand social experiment which intoxicated world liberal opinion for decades. And in some places, this intoxication still persists. However, almost no one remains of those who drank deeply of its poisonous spirit. The Western press was making up all kinds of crap.

Alexander Colentai was introducing the first sexual revolution, at least in the Christian era. and just, you know, easy divorce, easy abortion. The society fell apart to such an extent that they had to stop all that. And social experiment technical, they're experimenting on people. But the Western press was saying this was a wave of the future. And you had, you know, to this day, yeah, of course it's still persist. It persists in universities, everywhere else.

This was an error of liberation. Even when all the evidence came out that it was exactly the opposite of that, it doesn't affect anybody. Truth doesn't matter here. It's the support of Jewish power and this was complete Jewish power and anytime they're going to take over completely, this is what's going to happen. The uniqueness of that spirit was manifested in the ferocity of class antagonism in the promise of a never-before-seen new society, in the novelty of new forms of human relationships, in the breakdown of the nation's economy, daily life and family structure, The social and demographic changes were, in fact, colossal.

The great exodus of the Jewish populations of the capitals began, for many reasons, during the first years of communist power. Some Jewish writers are categorical in their description. Thousands of Jews left their settlements in a handful of southern towns from Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev to find real life. I wonder what that means. These were staffing all of the new political, positions.

All the new offices. Of course, you know, the state was already ten times bigger than ever was in the Tsarist era. It's tough to build a totalitarian society in Russia. It's large, but new technologies were emerging. Of course, the West was giving it all away or at least selling it to a discount to the Soviets. There was no threat to any capitalist interest. They were trading as brisk as you could possibly imagine with these people. banks were set or set up shop class antagonism was more of an excuse and anything else i mean so that

was an oligarchy so um both party and ethnic class antagonism but that was just rhetorical more than anything else uh but real life was to get you know to take part of this and and if you were a jew at the time um unless you just were disgusted by this and there were a bunch that that were overwhelmingly this was as close as Jewish paradise as they can get. And they were rushing in to take these new jobs. And people started to notice this, that people are going away to prison and disappearing. And all these names don't sound like Russian names who were involved in shipping these people away. Beginning in 1917, Jews flooded into Leningrad and Moscow. According to the Jewish encyclopedia, hundreds of thousands of Jews moved to Moscow,

Leningrad and other major censors. In 1920, 28,000 Jews lived in Moscow. By 1923, about 86,000. According to 1926 USSR census, 131, and in 1933, 226,500, Moscow became fashionable. They used to say half seriously in Odessa. Well, it didn't become, you know, I don't like it when they use the passive voice. It didn't become fashionable. They made it fashionable. Lurie Larin, a fanatical and zealous Bolshevik leader during war communism, writes that in the first year, is not less than a million Jews left their settlements. In 1923, about half of Ukraine's Jews lived in large cities, pouring as well into parts

of Russia formerly off limits to Jews, so-called prohibited provinces from Ukraine and Belarus. by LaRussia into Transcaucasia and Central Asia. The magnitude of this flow was half a million, and four-fifths of them settled in RSFSR. One in five of the Jewish migrants went to Moscow. Yeah, so it's a Russian Soviet Republic. Yeah, and we talked about this already, the so-called forbidden provinces.

They went wherever they wanted. it was no way to keep track of them and this is prior to the revel I'm talking about you know the ars era even the early white era um but um you know that was that was hypothetical more than anything else but that's this is what's what's behind all this is that they're seeing opportunity here then only can they come in and take over and take over the wealth of other kick people out of home and then move right in you know these are these are sociopathic peoples um they had no difficult with the idea that, you know, the old nobility, despite so many of them supported them initially, and they all get kicked out of their houses.

They didn't, they were no, wasn't an official nobility in Russia for the most part. But, you know, these either people were killed or set in exile or sent into the camps, which did exist at the time. And they moved right into their houses, no problem. And not to mention political power, not to mention totally new economic connections, especially with the West. Western capital was flooding to the country and make such a mockery of Marxism

because Marxism would say that such a society would be a threat to capitalism. Not quite the contrary. Capitalists saw opportunities and capital came pouring in even right up until and within and afterward the Great Depression. Discover five-star luxury at Trump Dunebag

Emmer Gorski considers Lauren's numbers to be substantially undercounted and points out that the demographic change affected interests, importance of the Russian population. During war communism, with its ban on private trade and limitations on craftsmen and those of

certain social origins, there arose a new social category, the deprived, deprived of civil rights. Many, quoting, many Jews were deprived of civil rights and numbered among the deprived. Still the, quote, migration of the Jewish population from Bilo-Rosia into the interior of the USSR, mainly to Moscow and Leningrad, did not slow. The new arrivals joined relatives or co-ethics who offered communal support. It's a sleight of hand referring to civil rights. There are no civil rights in Marxism. It's a metaphysical concept. I've been reading Karl Marx since I was 18.

He completely rejects these metaphysical ideas. There's no such thing as civil rights. That was absolutely a nonsense phrase to any Marxist at any level at any point in its history. So I don't know who these Jews are. I love how this guy writes in the abstract, making it seem like this wasn't a Jewish movement, but saying that they were deprived of civil rights, You see the fraud here.

There were no civil rights to begin with. Marxism had no room for that. There was no conception of it. It was a materialist system. Civil rights don't make any sense in a materialist system. You know, as a society, an ideology based entirely on, you know, atoms in the void and nothing else. There's no soul. There's no essences.

There's no humanity. There's no only Darwin. And so it's funny. I don't know the original. whether this was written in Russian or Yiddish or what. But the phrase civil rights made me smile because there is no such thing in Marxism. So he could say something like that and everyone will gasp, oh my God, poor Jews. But the concept was totally foreign to Marxism at any time, in any level, at any point,

and that's history from Karl Marx to today. According to the 1926 USSR, USSR census, 2.2 million 211, 2011, or 83% of the Jewish population lived in cities and towns. 467,000 lived in rural districts. Another 300,000 did not identify themselves as Jews, and these were practically all city dwellers. About five out of six Jews in the USSR were urban dwellers, constituting up to 23 to 40% of the urban population in Ukraine and Belarusia, respectively. What does that mean?

Another 300,000 did not identify themselves as Jews. either they didn't identify literally or they didn't write it down in the census. But if that's the latter is the case, then it was a lot more than 300,000. We spent months talking about how they evaded census counts and everything else. I don't know if they mean literally like writing it down or Jews. I don't know why they wouldn't. But or that they actually said we just weren't and we were counted in there. these numbers are estimates at most.

And Jewish cities and towns, that's not interesting. They're always, they're city dwellers. The only reason they'll ever live in rural districts is to take advantage of the peasantry and run, whether it be brothels, you know, you can find them in the bars and alcohol, beyond the law. But the cities, I mean, that's where the political power was going to be. And they were always in urban people anyway. So the 83% that sounded pretty much normal at any time in Russian or Soviet history. Most striking the provincial capitals and major cities was the flow of Jews into the apparatus of the Soviet government. Orshanazidzzydsky in 1927 at the 15th Communist Party Congress reported on the national makeup of our party.

By his statistics, Jews constituted 11.8% of the Soviet government of Moscow. 22.6% in Ukraine, 30.3% in Karcoff, the capital. 30.6% in Belarusia, 38.3% in Minsk. If true, then the percentage of Jews in urban areas about equal that of Jews in the government. These numbers are false. I mean, they're told, and it's a big deal for them to downplay the Jewish element to it. Jews were a privileged cast here. Now, I don't know the difference between being in a government, meaning having an office, literally and figuratively having an office, and simply having political power in the communist state. So there can also be another slight of hand. Make up of our party, well, that's one thing, because a party in the state were always two different things.

11.8% of the Soviet government Well, the eyewitnesses of the day and went to exile said that this is a nonsense number. Of course, you know, the famous Georgian said, you know, he followed orders. The overall percentage of Jews in Russia at the time was 1.5% males anyway. So I'll challenge these numbers,

but even as they stand, Jews have a lot to answer for But I think they're much higher And I don't know It's hard to tell whether he means Just the party or the party in the state How he's defining political power or whatever Now he's all over because he says the party

Then he says Soviet government Well I'm not sure which what he means But these numbers are much higher But you know The Soviets were always very image conscious And they didn't like this notion You know Stalin said the same thing to the Hungarians I said my God every name

name is Jewish. You've got to get create a presidency that has no power and find some guy who's not a Jew and stick him there. And it took him a long time but they found one. Sandals, I think, his name. And they stuck him there. He didn't do anything.

So they're very concerned about this kind of thing. And they were anti-Jewish movements. The exile movement was very anti-Jewyic and for very good reason. And I guarantee you that they laughed at these numbers at the time. Solomon Schwartz, using data from the work of Lev Singer, maintained that the percentage of Jews in the Soviet government

was about the same as their percentage of the urban population, and it was significantly lower in the Bolshevik party itself. Using Orshana Kedzi's data, Jews at 1.82% of the population by 1926 were represented in the apparatus at about 6.5 times their proportion in the population at large. Solomon Schwartz. I've dealt with him myself. This is the same guy who had to leave the Soviet Union because he was afraid that they weren't killing enough non-Jews, enough anti-Semites. He was one of the leaders of the creation of the anti-Semitic laws and everything else. He was, of course, at the time, he was there, but I think he is absolutely full of it. He can't, you know, say that the Soviet Union wasn't opposed to it. anti-Semitism enough and then turn around and say oh yeah but they totally dominated everything he can't say that so he's absolutely going to um he has every motive to to downplay these these numbers

so 6.5 that may be but i guarantee it's much higher much higher than that and we know some of this because when solon purged this same generation um the number of jews was so overwhelming these numbers can't be literally true. Not to mention the fact that we've talked about, again, how the Jews have been able to hide their identities, they change their names, they move from place to place, they're moving all over the place. That's been the theme here is that they're moving all over the place. No one knows who's who yet. This is still a very new society. So, and they know what they're doing in terms of acting as this mafia organization. They don't want their names known for cosmetic reasons, if for nothing else.

Still, being a Jew at this time, this was a promised land. It's easy to underestimate the impact of the sudden freedom from pre-revolutionary limits on civil rights. Quote, earlier power was not accessible to Jews at all, and now they had more access to power than anyone else, unquote, according to I. Beekerman. The sudden change provoked a varied reaction in all strata of society. Schwartz writes, quote, from the mid-20s, there arose a new wave of anti-Semitism, which was, quote, not related to the old anti-Semitism nor a legacy of the past. I wonder why. Quote, it is an extreme exaggeration to explain it as originating with backwards workers from rural areas as anti-Semitism generally was not a fact of life in the Russian countryside. No, it was a much more dangerous phenomenon. It arose in the middle strata of urban society and reached the highest levels of the working class, which before the revolution had remained practically untouched by the phenomenon.

Quote, it reached students and members of the Communist Party and the commsomal and even earlier local government in smaller provincial towns where an aggressive and active anti-Semitism took hold. I can't. Why would that even happen? I'm shocked. No clue. There's gambling. I know. But this is again, Solomon Schwartz. And he's responding to the official state explanation.

And the official state explanation was that you have backwards workers from the countryside. Because all glory, Ameri, semi, you know, they're born that way. And when they came into the cities, as the earlier, you know, the very beginnings of industrialization, Western investment took place. They were kind of out of place. They were totally lost. And somehow that means you're going to be an anti-Semite. There was never any good reason for, obviously, so you can prosecute it. But Solomon will say that, you know, he's not entirely wrong.

Because, you know, you could see the tremendous power that Jews had, how they use it without any responsibility whatsoever. To this day, they won't take responsibility for anything. and wherever they went, especially in the punitive organs, because they were always being watched. Even at this early date, they were building a totalitarian system, at least in the major cities. But Schwartz kind of became famous at the time by rejecting the official explanation. But he stopped short because he can't say, he probably knows, but he can't say. he can go so far as to say no it's something different it's it's all over the place it's totally irrational and then that's it puts a period there of course we know exactly why the persecutions of the church mass killings the camps were developed and functioning even as a proportion of the economy already there weren't quite called gulagy yet but there was supposed to be re-education camps all this stuff was already done so and the punitive organs were We're all heavily Jewish at the top.

Solzhenitsyn says this. Everyone says, Russian liberals were saying this. Russian liberals say it and even now. So, but he can't say that. This guy can't say that. They have to maintain the myth that anti-Jewish feeling or thought or action is inherently irrational. And it's because we're superior to them and they hate it. And so they're going to irrational like a cornered animal, they're going to, they're going to lash out.

So, you know, Beacerman, we already, we dealt with him before. He was one of these guys who says, you know, it's kind of our fault. But Schwartz, not in a million years. And I read his stuff, you know, because he was there at the time, of course. And I know he's full of it. And he does too, but he can't, you know, he can't, he has to maintain the myth. And that's what he does in all of his writings. And he was the guy, despite all of the attacks.

on anyone who said anything bad about the Jews, it was never enough. He wanted something in the Constitution that said, you know, not just in general, you know, hatred of one group, no, that Jews rule society. That's a good thing. And anyone who contradicts it or complains about it goes to the camps. That's what he wanted. And he says that openly. Then he leaves the country at some point.

It's saying that, you know, anti-Semitism is everywhere. It's even in the Jewish party apparatus. So I don't even know how he's defining that. And in his books, he gives these stupid examples. Everything's a pogrom to him. It's all the same. They like that today. But he talks about a factory.

Drew was called name. Drew got slapped by somebody. I did a whole lecture on this, not too long ago. I didn't want to deal with Schwartz. We came up all the time. And that was all pogromats to him. And he would exaggerate it. and people want to jail for it

and even the word Jew even today you can't say Jew if they say Jewish people or Jewish man or Jewish woman you can't say Jew couldn't say jude there or anything like that so so that's what he's talking about and he eventually left the country saying you know it's it's going to be a

slaughter of course it never was everyone the slightest word against the Jews let the prison especially this But he just, he wanted, you know, he wanted, he wanted this in the Constitution. Not that anyone gave it damn about a piece of paper then, but that was his whole thing. To him, the Soviet Union was a instrument of Jewish power and nothing more.

The Jewish Encyclopedia writes that from the beginning of the 20th century,

quote, through official Soviet propaganda writes that anti-Semitism in that latter part of the 20s was a legacy of the past. The fact show that it arose mainly as a result of colliding social forces in large cities, end quote. It was fanned by the, quote, widely held opinion that power in the country had been seized by Jews who formed the nucleus of the Bolsheviks, end quote. Beekerman wrote with evident concern in 1920s. that, quote, the Jew is in all corners and on all levels of power, end quote.

The Russian sees him as a ruler of Moscow at the head of the capital of Neva and at the head of the Red Army, a perfected death machine. He sees a St. Vladimir prospect has been renamed Nakimson Prospect. The Russian sees the Jew as judge and hangman. He sees Jews at every turn, not only among the communists, but among people like himself, everywhere doing the bidding of Soviet power. Not surprising, the Russian comparing present with past is confirmed in his idea that power is Jewish power,

that it exists for Jews and does the bidding of Jews. I love how he throws in Beekerman. He's quoting the Jewish encyclopedia, and you can't expect anything else from them. It's actually pretty reasonable as far as a Jewish encyclopedia goes. Then he throws in Beekerman, obviously a Jewish name, saying that Jews are in all corners, levels of power. Lots of people, you know, say that at the time. Jews say that at the time.

So, but, you know, it's almost like the encyclopedia is semi-admitting these things, but by putting in words like perception or conceived of, it's kind of a barrier, you know, there's not coming out and admitting it, but they're kind of emitting it. And, you know, what the Jewish encyclopedia would have to explain then is why Lenin over and over again said that the reason that anti-Semitism has to be destroyed. And again, I've said this before, but anti-Semitism, they're not Semites. They're Khazars. They're a mixed group of people. They have no connection with Middle East. God knows the Old Testament. But we say that just because it's a common word, but it irritates the hell out of me. But they have to explain why Lenin said anti-Semitism is criticism of the USSR. Criticism of the USSR is criticism of Jews.

He said that so many times it became like a bumble sticker at the time. Stalin said that early in his reign too. Later on it was a different story when Zionism developed and the Soviet started supporting Syria and Iraq, a little different then. But in this era, Lenin, I quoted Lenin in speeches that are based entirely on that concept. If you were anti-Semite, by definition, you were anti-Sovian. If you're anti-Soviet, by definition, you're an anti-Soviet. And the Jewish encyclopedia has to explain Lenin's statements in many different media to that effect. No less visible than Jewish participation in government was to suddenly created new order in culture and education.

education. The new societal inequality was not so much along the lines of nationality as it was a matter of town versus country. The Russian reader needs no explanation of the advantages bestowed by Soviet power from the 20s to the 80s on capital cities when compared to the rest of the country. One of the main advantages was a level of education and range of opportunities for higher learning. Those established during the early years of Soviet power in capital cities assured their children and grandchildren future decades of advantage. vis-à-vis those in the country. The enhanced opportunities in post-secondary education and graduate education meant increased access to the educated elite. Meanwhile, from 1918, the ethnic Russian intelligentsia was being pushed to the margins. And that wasn't just a matter. Again, it was pushed. You know, like this was just happened.

It fell from the sky. This was official policy. It came into its own under Stalin. and some idiots call him a Russian nationalist and nonsense like this. Never heard of the Leningrad purges, which were violently anti-Russian, not just push to the margins. I mean, almost literally, but it's a metaphor saying that they're totally exploited. They're not allowed to have power in their own country, which now didn't exist since it was a sunk into the USSR.

and the one group of people that the that Lenin personally and then the party more generally distrusted was the Russian, the ethnic Russian, because there were so many of them at the time and they were considered untrustworthy. Again, the Jews have to explain why. If it wasn't a Jewish society, why would they worry about, you know,

even Russian members of the party were constantly being watched? Because, you know, Russians are born anti-Semites. We have to watch them all the time. We can't really trust them. And so when Stalin got rid of this generation, because they were professional revolutionaries, they really weren't, you know, they were bureaucrats of a sort. We've talked about this before. And he needed to replace them with professionals, not just, you know, revolutionaries and Jewish nationalists and all kinds of weirdos who saw an opportunity for power. He needed to actually run an industrialized country despite an industry coming from the West.

and I had nothing to do with that they were Jewish or not but that means the entire thing was Jewish we talked about why if Stalin being called an anti-Semite and what a scam it is because your typical academic today can say

yes, Stalin was an anti-Semite because so many of the people who he threw out of power were Jews. It's not a coincidence? Well, they could say that or they could say that well the party was Jewish the state was Jewish

So when you purge anybody, any faction is going to be massively Jewish. So either you admit that or you say this Solomon was running to Semite. So, of course, you're going to go with the latter. And God knows, education was ideologically stilted, just like American college educators today. You are held to ideological standards. If you questioned anything, you were Darwinism or anything like that. thrown out. God knows what else. It's like, you know, they had this literacy campaign. Well, literacy to read what? You know, their propaganda, Darwin and all this stuff. And that's about it.

So, you know, literacy is just an abstraction. There was high literacy in all the cities and Zars Russia. But the Soviets are given these accolades for that. But the point is to be able to read what? There's no such thing as abstract literacy. So that's what's happening here. So they're, you know, be careful when they use these phrase post-secondary education. Well, that came, I don't care what fields you were in. You had to toe the line. You weren't allowed to talk and you say you went into literature or something like that.

You couldn't talk about Dostoevsky anymore. There was a whole new slew of Soviet writers who were financed by the state. And these were the new people you were reading and studying. Socialist realism took over within a few years. we'll get to that at I guess at some point and so you know again they call it culture this is this is an anti-culture

it's like our postmodern anti-culture the culture there was no such concept it was simply political power coming from a very arrogant Jewish rule in a couple of cities

way out of proportion to their numbers and the hatred and so many of the exiles you know, hundreds of thousands of exiles, also the same thing, that the hatred was palpable. And if it wasn't for the existence of Christians or Russians, they just kill each other. So they always needed this mythic enemy of the Russian or the czarists or the black hundred. Clergy, as Lenin called it, to maintain peace among themselves.

But this is how they maintain power. Again, in the 20s, it still was unclear. whether they were going to stay in power. The peasantry wanted nothing to do with them. And while they grew the food, they were in constant rebellion. So it wasn't obvious that the Soviets were going to be maintained. The only reason that they were was cash infusions and capital and everything else from the Western powers. Air Grid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid, is powering up the northwest.

In the 20s, students already enrolled in institutions of higher learning, were expelled based on social origins policy.

Children of the nobility, the clergy, government bureaucrats, military officers, merchants, even children of petty shotkeepers were expelled. Applicants from these classes and children of the intelligents were denied entry to institutions of higher learning in the years that followed. As a nationality repressed by the Tsar's regime, Jews did not receive this treatment. Despite bourgeois origin, the Jewish youth were freely accepted in institutions, of higher learning. Jews were forgiven for not being proletarian. No, they were called proletarians. The word had no meaning anymore. We talked about this too.

Now, Jacob Schiff was called a proletarian. It was denuded of all meaning at this point. The proletarian was not a worker. These guys didn't know any workers. Proletarian was someone who backed the regime in one form in one way or another, whether it be abroad or in the USSR itself. We're forgiven by whom. It's such a silly statement. Now, they were, you know, to the extent that they supported the party, no matter what their origin was, they were considered proletariat. According to the Jewish encyclopedia, with the absence of limitations based upon nationality for entry to institutions of higher learning, Jews came to make up 15.4% of all university students in the USSR, almost twice their proportion of the urban.

population at large. Further, Jews owing to a high level of motivation quickly bypassed the unprepared proletarian factory workers who had been pushed forward in the education system and proceeded unhindered into graduate school. In the 20s and 30s and for a long time after, Jews were a disproportionately large part of the intelligentsia. Yeah, actual factory workers were not pushed forward. I mean, every once in a while, you would have a bright kid or something, But, you know, we're also talking about, you know, the Jews simply took it over. And you don't need, you know, 15%. That's way more than enough to take over a place and to threaten anyone who may not even talk about Judaism,

but anyone who may question the system, question Lenin's policies, question the totalitarian rule of one party, stuff like that. That's enough, you know, and they were well organized. they were they were they were armed of course um they did everything together they they weren't didn't act as an individual by any means um so you know i said from the very beginning in my book on ussr the last thing anyone gave a damn about was factory workers actual real proletarians in marxism they were exploited beyond belief um right over through the entire existence of the no capitalist state exploited factory workers like uh like the Soviet Union and it was perfectly consistent with the rule of the party, which is why, just because they use these terms, these naive, you know, professors of history who just take them at their word without any criticism.

It's why they're using these words and what they really mean, not just in theory, but in practice, too. And how to, you know, so the theory kind of went by the wayside pretty quickly. not that they ever believed in the first place, but it was, you know, in classical Marxism, a proletarian was someone who had nothing but their body to trade for a small wage in the cities. That's what a proletarian was.

Someone who owned nothing but his own body, his own labor power. Now, we went through a great detail why that's, Marx may have said that, but I don't think you,

even he fully believed it. They were just a very easy, easy target. They did not function as Jews. They didn't operate as an organization. They operated as individuals, totally lost in drowning in an urban world that they had no understanding of. According to G. Aronson, white access to hire and specialized education led to the formation of cadres of doctors, teachers, and particularly engineers and technical workers among

Jews, which naturally led to university faculty posts in the expanding system of higher education and in the widely proliferating research institutions. In the beginning of the 1920s, the post of the state chair of science was occupied not by a scientist, but a Bolshevik official, Mandelstam-Liyadav. Why don't we pause here? because now what's going to happen from here on in is the economic stuff and we talk about people like Bukhar and everything else

this is a natural break but again everything all of these fields specialized education sort of but it had to be based on ideology whether you actually believed it or whether you sort of believed it or whether you were totally fanatical

Marxism was a way to justify anti-social behavior. It still is. Because you can always justify it. You know, it's really a maccabalian. You could justify it. I serve the workers, and therefore I'm going to rob a bank. I'm going to shoot a clergyman or something like that. It's just anti-social behavior.

But now they can dress it up in this ideology. And, you know, we're going to come across this claim. Jews were an oppressed group of people, but we know better. This very book has gone through painstaking detail that Jews, the 19th century, were a privileged group of people. They had, they had rights, they had privileges, they had incomes that Russians didn't. Ordinary Ukrainian Orthodox people didn't. And for them to claim any kind of oppression is outrageous. And again, they need that because that's part of the myth. That's part of the myth. That's part of of the whole story as to

as to why the Soviet Union exists. I mean, you know, people like Schwartz, you know, were so incredibly outrageous in their claims that there was a unintended honesty to them. We knew how that, it wasn't just shorts. I mean, he spoke for a large number of Jews.

That's what the USSR was to them. That's why you can't bring this up in academia. It destroys the entire history of the 20th century. Everything would have to be rewritten if it came to be understood that that's not what the Soviet Union really was. It privileged a certain group of people. That privilege group changed over the years, especially, you know, when the Jews finally disengaged from the USSR in the late 60s, when Israel started to, you know, defeat the Arabs, supported by the Soviets, supported by the Soviets, supported by, Moscow, by the way, which would put the party in a very weird position. And when Jews now were being

sponsored by the West, that's the one, one and only time that they were, any sanctions were put in the Soviet Union was, well, Jimmy Carter did a little bit after the Afghanistan invasion, but it was because they wouldn't let Jews go to Israel. So I think I misread something up here about the factory workers going to school. I think I misread that. I think, I misread that. I he meant that the Jews were bypassing the factory workers because the factory workers had no you know talk about being lost you know this was this was a massive shift the factory factory workers were were imported um were kept under watch but you know uh and and i i'll say it again and i well i goes we'll get to this at some point but henry ford building the largest truck plant in the

world in the midst of the depression in soviet ukraine you know, profit seems to come, you know, there's a reason Henry Ford was so wealthy, that he was willing to throw all his views towards Jews to the wind for a massive profit, which he received. There was no native auto industry. There would have been if there was no, you know, if the Zoroas, it was continued to develop, it was industrializing rapidly. And it wasn't an industrialized state by the start of the war. It was overwhelmingly rural, but so was Germany. You know, and so was Britain.

And so was the U.S. Still overwhelmingly rural. In fact that you got a few big cities where the factories were that is the same everywhere. People think that Britain was just one huge factory. No, it was still a rural society, just like the U.S. was, just like Prussia was. So, yeah, I think I misread that, but that's what's happening here. and I can't I don't know how you know Jews

Jews can deal with cognitive dissonance because it serves their interests I don't think normal people can deal with cognitive dissonance and so somehow you know lashing out at anti-Semites kind of makes up for this and so they'll write books on the USSR and never mention the Jews or talk about them only as you know victims and unfortunately how ridiculous

and ends up sounding, just given what we've seen so far, leaving the Jews out of developing USSaurus, it's like leaving the Jews out of the development of Israel. It doesn't make any sense. You're talking about Tibet and never mentioning Buddhism. You end up sounding absurd, and that's exactly what modern history writing in the West sounds like today. Well, it's good to have you back, and I'm glad you're healing up. Yeah.

Yeah, this is a good part. And a Ramon shirt's a boot, like really, yeah. I've been a fan of there since I was, well, since 1983, when Subterranean Jungle came out. It's rare for me because I don't, I don't like bands that don't have a standout musician. Ramon's never had a, particularly standout musician, but they're still one of my favorite bands anyway. There's one of the few exceptions in that, in that realm. There has to be one musician that stands out. But the Ramones is always an exception.

in that regard it's the songs that's it's the vibe they have a vibe well keep in mind too that remold's very anti-communist johnnie marky yeah johnny too johnny was very um i mean i didn't mean mark people mark maybe but johnny especially they were at the berlin wall you know and everything joey was a lefty um johnny used to wear a shirt kill a commie for mommy yeah yeah Yeah, they had to make the common songs over the years. Yeah. But I think I have to feel like a lot of time. Havana affair.

Yeah, yeah. That's a great song. And the dead countries had, what was a song? Holiday in Cambodia. Holiday in Cambodia. And it's making fun of these college leftists by saying, oh, I have an idea. Why don't we take you over to Cambodia? We'll see how free they are.

And that's, I love that song. And it's the most punk thing you can do to make fun of the left as they make fun of the right and like kill the poor and songs like that. So that was in a band and everything. I played TBGBs in 1988 or 89. So yeah, I have a we need to talk about that off air. Yes, yes. Maybe not today, but definitely. Yeah, I've lived an interesting life.

All right, everyone. Go over to the show notes and go over to go over to the district. description of the videos and please donate to Dr. Johnson. I'm sure he's also dealing with some medical bills too. Yeah, throw him some shekels and keep him flush. I really appreciate that. I know you say it every time and it's a big deal. No problem at all. We'll pick it up and we'll get back into the swing of things. It looks like we're back in the swing of things today. You were Yeah, you were really, you were on fire today. But give it another couple of days, you get back to 100%

and we're going to fire through this 1920s because this is, this was hell on earth for a lot of people. This is what I listen to have been waiting for, I think, because this is one thing to get really, all the other crap we've been dealing with, it finds its height, it's zenith now. All the social, you know, the Jewish power has now exploded. been festering for a long time, now it exploded.

And this is, now we live in a society where Jews had untrammel power and no one to tell them otherwise. And that's where we're, that's where we're, uh, written about. Yes, sir. All right. See you in a couple days. Thank you very much. All right, my friend. Bye-bye.
