Dr. Johnson, how are you doing today? Have you heard that Rush, my favorite band since 1984, is going back on the road? It's a disaster already.

I'm totally against it. They hired. Is Dave Lombardo playing drums? Well, Dave Lombardo should be with Metallica and what's his face should be management. But anyway, they hired this girl, very attractive, of course, with apparently no fat girls play any instruments. And they hired a keyboard player, so there's four people. It was just a, I don't know if they did it, it was a politically correct thing. And apparently it's not going well.

They haven't gone out yet. And they're flooding the press, whatever PR firm they're using. Ticket prices are so high and it's an outrage. Well, ticket prices have been ridiculous for a long time. That's not news. I have the feeling that because of this nonsense, tickets aren't selling. I ain't going. I'm boycotting this whole thing.

I go to all their pages and say, boo. On it, very loudly. In 1984, this is a travesty. I need to vent about this because it's pissing me right off. But the fact that they're already realizing it's a problem and saying, oh, it's ticket prices. Like this is a new issue. No, people are this isn't the band. And hiring this woman, young, attractive, of course, and I have the feeling has nothing to do with her ability,

although she's played with some big name people. Mike Portnoy wanted to do it. You have people like Terry Bozio and Simon Phillips. No, no, that's who they go with. I don't even think she was a Rush fan before this. So this is not going well. And it's a shame to see these guys end up like this. You know, it was over.

Neil Peartre died. They were going to do solo things. I guess they got bored. And now they're trying to put. rushback if they use a different name i'd be good so it's an outrage and it's it's ruined a lot of um i'm wearing my rush shirt today my wife got it for me but this thing has it's pissed me right off it's a cash grab and um uh i think i think uh neal is uh rolling in his grave um i it's to correct you you keep saying that this woman is playing keyboard she's playing

No, no, no, no, no, no, they hired a keyboard player. She's a drummer. Okay. Okay. Okay. I didn't hear. I didn't hear that part. Okay.

Yeah. No, I know she is. I just had to look that up. No, she, they, but they're hiring a keyboard player. That's why I got into them my first place. I got into them when I was a kid because I saw this guy with a big nose playing like four instruments at once. So now you're not going to do that.

No, her drummer, her last name starts with her name. But, you know, oh, I'm sure their wives love that. She's going to be a lot of fun on the tour. us. But, you know, there's top-notch drummers their age. That would be perfect. Mike Portnoy's been preparing for this. There's a guy who has a channel on YouTube. He's played every single rush song perfectly. He has all the equipment. And we wouldn't even need to pay the guy. But no, they have to go for the PC option and then hiring a keyboard player. And God knows what else. Maybe backup singers. Who knows? It really, it's got me irritated. It's got me irritated.

very irritated. Well, yeah, it just looks like your typical. You know, you would think that they would have enough money considering that I think Getty was pretty much in charge of a lot of the business. And considering his background, you would think he'd be a good businessman. But maybe this is just more of a cash grab. I think that's what it is. And I don't think that all the guys my age who you think would be your typical fan are buying.

So they came up that stupid excuse. Yeah, I'll just listen on the platforms. I won't, going to a concert now is just having a bunch of people with their phones in the air. Yeah, that's true. I've been to a few recently, but that's not one I'm doing. That's not rushed to me. That's a management company who needs some money. All right.

Picking up where we left off last time. The check of GPU had second place in terms of real power after the party. A researcher of archival material, whom we quoted in Chapter 16, reports interesting statistics on the composition of the Cheka in 1920, 1922, 23, 24, 25, and 27. He concludes that the proportion of national minorities in the apparatus gradually fell towards the mid-20s. Quote, in the OGPU as a whole, the proportion of personnel from a national minority fell to 30 to 35 percent and to 40 to 45% for those in leadership. These figures contrasts with 50 and 70% respectively during the Red Terror.

However, quote, we observe a decline in the percentage of Latvians and an increase in the percentage of Jews, end quote. The 20s was a period of significant influx of Jewish cadres into the organs of the OGPU. The author explains this, quote, Jews strive to utilize capabilities not needed in the pre-revolution period. With the increasing professionalism and need for organization, Jews, better than others, were able to meet the needs of OGPU and the new conditions. For example, three of Zerzinski's four assistants were Jews, Gia Goga, V. L. Gerson, and M. Lutski. And all four of them, extremely bloody men, that would blow anyone in the Third Reich or anywhere else out of the

water, maybe except for mouse people. So this is, there's a lot going on here. The Soviet Union was unique in the sense that there was a party and then there was a state, two very different things. And they always worried about keeping those two things apart. Cheka was connected to the party. And they tended to be relatively independent. They were an arm of the party. later on we talk about the army which is you know connected to the state and army of military

intelligence and the rest of it and sometimes they clashed it's kind of like the securitante and the army in romania in the 80s secure atata was a party uh almost a personal um police force the army was different country was run by different people and um very different types of people when you talk about the checker that the whole point of it was in defense of the revolution is is with the russian in defense of the games of the revolution or something. This was a very Jewish institution. And from the communist point of view, it made a lot of sense for Lenin, Trotsky,

because they were ruthless. They didn't care. They had no problem murdering Russian peasants who they hated to begin with. What is it with Latvians? We see them as the second minority all the time. But they were finally absorbed into the USSR in under Stalin, like in 40.

But they were like semi-independent at this point. But anyway, and the Jews, Latvians were always there, Jews, Latvians, and Tartars, maybe. But Jews dominated. And it didn't really matter. The numbers don't matter. And you just need a handful of them in an organization like this and they run it. We already mentioned that. You know, they tend to take over and run the business.

but when it came to violence, especially at this time and in this place, they were very good at what they did, unfortunately for humanity, unfortunately for civilization. And the second largest church in the universe, which was Russian Orthodox Church after Rome, was absolutely decimated by the time World War II broke out. And that takes a lot of work. there was very little left when Germany invaded Ukraine and places far places south a little bit better off but in the heart of Russia it was it was pure genocide and done on purpose and it seemed to be you know from the point of view of any communists and I say this in my book why you know it's one thing to be an atheist but this brutal torturous persecution of the church.

That's from the Jewish side of things. Non-Jewish socialists, you know, they might not have liked them or not believed in it, but they wouldn't have acted like this. It was a huge waste of resources, and it made the party extremely unpopular, among many other things. Of course, starvation didn't make them very popular either, but this certainly didn't help. So many Orthodox institutions, going back to the Middle Ages, already functioned on basic you would think socialist principles.

You had so many artels, labor artels in the cities, A, R-R-T-E-L, Russian word, the urban version of the commune. The commune, of course, in the countryside, was dominant. These were essentially Christian and idealist socialist institutions. They were cooperative, put it that way. That's the first thing that they destroyed. The Brotherhood of the Holy Cross was almost a semi-manastic labor union,

kind of. And they had branches everywhere, destroyed. You would think that a socialist would want to maintain these. No. And this is how we know that socialism really wasn't the issue. Workers weren't the issue. Peasant certainly weren't the issue. These institutions were to be destroyed.

No, Marxism to them meant power. It meant the rule of a certain minority group. And we could use as many hangers-on as we can have, but we'll never trust them. And as I said last week, it's no accident. I don't think the dictators with the accession. exception of Andropov, very late in Soviet life, were basically non-Jews. Lenin is always going to be, you know, Lenin had some in the Blanc family, of course, but he wasn't perceived as a Jew.

Let's put it that way. He wasn't perceived in public as a Jew. That's no accident. But under him, of course, Strachky was just as powerful as Donovan was. It was, you know, 50%, 70, Jesus. during the Red Terror. Yeah, that's the height of it. So this is an extremely important paragraph. But the key issue is there was a concern of maintaining a party, which was different from the state.

And there was a clear line there. And whether the Jewish issue mattered there, the Communist Party was Jewish, the state may be less so. And that may have had something to do with it. I've never thought about it too much. But that's where we seem to be headed here, and that's the point of this paragraph. ESB transformed how the country powered itself once.

In the 20s and 30s, the leading Chequess circled over the land like birds of prey,

flying quickly from cliff to cliff. From the top ranks of the Central Asian GPU off to Belarusia and from Western Siberia to the Northern Caucasus, from Karcov to Oran. and from Oral to Venetia, there was a perpetual whirlwind of movement and change. And the lonely voices of those surviving witnesses could only speak much later, without precise reference to time, of the executioners whose names flashed by them. The personnel, the deeds, and the power of the Checo were completely secret. Yeah, secret then, not secret now.

For the 10th anniversary of the glorious Checo, we read in a newspaper a formal order signed by the omnipresent unschlicht from 1921, department head of Checa, from 1923, member of the Revon Sové, from 1925, Department Narcom of the Navy. In it, Yagoda was rewarded for particularly valuable service for sacrifice in the battle with Counter Revolution, also given awards were M. Triliser, distinguished for his devotion to the revolution and untiring persecution of its enemies, as well as 32 Chekess who had not been before, had not been before the public until then. Each of them with a flick of a finger could destroy any one of us. Among them were Yakov Agronov for the work on all important political trials, and in the future he will

orchestrate the trials of Zinoviev, Kamenev, and the Industrial Party trial, and others. Zenovi Katsnelson, Matvi Berman transferred from Central Asia to the Far East, and Lev Belski transferred from the far east to Central Asia. We talked about this before, how these guys, and you know, you shliked, I think it's unshlicht, I think that's how you say it. Oh, that's not a Russian name. These people are still relatively unknown. This is a, at the time, say 1920s, this was a unique institution.

And it could only exist in the modern. world. Because in order for this organizations like this to function, you need technology. You need urban planning. You need, you need modern methods of bureaucracy. You need modern weapons. You need modern methods of surveillance. None of these existed prior to majority. No one has suffered under something like this before. And living under it, part of the issue was, Of course, they couldn't kill everybody. They couldn't arrest everybody. But it didn't matter.

One of the things that Stalin mentioned about his, either Stalin-a-Berrya mentioned about method concerning that was it really didn't matter. The great thing, every once in a while just arrest someone for no reason. Or because we had a rumor or something like that. Everyone else is going to shut up at that point. They love the idea of arbitrariness because it put everyone else on edge all the time. Keeping people off balance was very important. But at this point in Soviet history, it was just a whirlwind, as he says.

It's a really great word for it. But I love how they bring these guys. He goes from, okay, the defense of the revolution, against counter-revolution, check it means. Then he goes to the deputy of the Navy? What the hell do he know about the Navy? He was nobody. You know, and we've seen this before. They take these guys, they put them in all kinds of places.

I love it when they put them in charge of farms. they don't even know where food comes from and they're making decisions in terms of agricultural. No wonder they were starving. Well, they weren't starving, but much of the country was. I also want to point out that at this point, Russia was Soviet Union, now I guess Russia was gone. Soviet Union was being fed by the West.

Woodrow Wilson initially set up an entire system where Colonel House, of course, so much American grain was sent to the U.S. So, one of the reasons they could go after the peasantry and not worry about it. So they were being fed at least for a while by the Midwestern Americans. And the fact that American businesses were heavily invested in the Soviet Union, starting in the, starting, you know, in the early 30s, they did it in the 20s definitely, but heavy in the 30s. During the Depression, where we desperately needed that in the U.S. There's something, you know, capitalist and Marxists, despite the nonsense, at Root

are the same. They have all the same assumptions about human nature and human beings and about what makes people happy and what doesn't. I also want you to keep in mind that, you know, these purges, gulag, everything, that wasn't Stalin's thing. That was Lenin and Trotsky's thing. One of the things that the socialists will do and have been doing for a long time is say that all the tyranny in the USSR was Stalin.

Stalin distorted everything. As if everyone else was okay, or they wanted to defend Lenin. Lenin had lived, they were been totally different. Lenin was doing Lenin and Trotsky were doing the exact same thing that Stalin did later on. The only difference is Stalin had better technology. She was more secure in his position. The party was larger, et cetera, et cetera. You know, the U.S. and the West had built a industrial economy, slowly but surely.

he had a lot more to work with than Lenin or Trotsky. He formalized the camps. The Gulag that existed under very early in the USSR. I've said in my book, I'll say it now. Ideologically, and even method, there was no substantial difference among Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, or any of his other guys. They were almost identical. There's nothing special about Stalin except maybe his time period and what he had to work with. They were very, very similar in terms of all of this.

So don't act like Stalin was different. I know there's a lot of Russians who love Stalin. They're nationalists. They think Stalin was a national. And so many. And I've been railing against this for a long time. A lot of Russian Orthodox over there have been too. But that's very common.

They liked the idea that Russia was Russia, in big quote, was strong and feared and everything. Oh, well, I think they are now. But there's this nostalgia. And I have the feeling that comes from the 1990s because, frankly, Soviet Union was Zanidu compared to the 90s. People were dying again of starvation. And I guess who was running the country at the time, who was running the, you know, they destroyed Russia in the 20s and 30s. They destroyed Russia again in the 90s. Different systems didn't matter.

Same group of people. And I always found that fascinating. But that's what's happening here. But the more important point is that there was always a dual system. Same thing for, you know, the Eastern Bloc in general. It was a party on one side that was usually separated from the state. And that sometimes calls problems. Sometimes it didn't.

The army was very different from the Cheka or the KGB or whatever. Sometimes they clashed. So, anyway. There were several new names. Lev Zalin, Lev Meyer, Leonid Bull, dubbed the warden of Zulofi, Simeon Gendon, Carl Polker. Some were already known to only a few, but now the people would get to know them. In this Jubilee newspaper issue, we can find a large image of Slick Mishinsky with his faithful deputy Yagoda and a photograph of Trilacer. Shortly afterward, another 20 Chekis were awarded with the Order of the Red Banner, and again, we see a motley company of Russians, Latvians, and Jews, the latter in the same proportions, around one-third.

some of them were avoiding publicity. Simeon Schwartz was director of the Ukrainian Cheka, a colleague of his, Yevse Shearvind, directed the transport of prisoners and convoiced throughout the USSR. Naturally, such Czechos as Grimmeril Heifitz, a spy from the end of the Civil War to the end of World War II, and Sergei Spiglis, a Chequess from 1917, who, though his work as a spot,

through his work as a spy, rose to become director of the foreign department of the NKVD, and a two-time recipient of the honorary title of distinguished checkists, work out of the public eye. Careers of others, like Albert Stroman Strayev, were less impressive. He conducted interrogations of scientists during the Academy trial in 1929 through 31. But finally, you see somewhat of a Russian name here, although Albert certainly isn't.

But my God, you know, these are these are and people knew at the time you know the exiles were or sneaking things in so even if they were the media was tightly information was tightly controlled the exiles knew better and they were getting information to everyone in and they knew what was happening and they knew who was running things every one of these people simeon schwartz you know he's the guy we talked about him before that he left the us soar on good terms because he didn't think that they killed enough anti-Semites, which is exactly what he said. And he was a murderer himself,

a Ukrainian checker. That's where the Union of the Russian people was the largest. Of course, Jewish community was the largest as well. He was a killer. And he's talking, of course, when he went to the West. He convicted him. This is how it goes. I would always go.

The total lack of Russian names and the cognitive dissonance of your typical American who wants to learn about this stuff or academic who does know better reading these, talking about the Russian Revolution with these names. I wonder if Carol Polker is related to the Romanian poker, I don't know,

that stuck out to me, maybe, I'm not sure. But, you know, it's elsewhere in Germany under Weimar, you know, the Germany is being torn apart. in Bavaria and of course we talked about Hungary. These were far more Jewish than even the USSR. And there were a couple of offsuits.

It was Bavaria and then one up north, industrial city up north that went, became People's Republic during the late Weimar era. Very, I mean, you couldn't get, you couldn't get more Jews there. You know, it was purely ethnic and everyone knew it. Hungary was just so blatant. it was ridiculous. Soviet Union was too big for that. But still, Jews can get a judge.

If you were a Jew at this time and had any interest in leftist politics at all, you could fly to the Soviet Union. You could become an admiral, I guess. You could become a policeman. You could become the head of an agricultural community. You could do anything you wanted. And Lenin, knowing that he was in a minority, you know, kind of, you know, he was powerful. But, you know, he had to work with Trotsky. And they were different in a few different ways.

Not ideological. This is strictly, you know, in terms of experience and personality, ideological in terms of violence, so they were identical. But, you know, when Trotky, when it's exile, that's when all this started. That's when the beginning of the neocon started. He tried to pretend that I'm different. I wanted democracy and freedom and everything. Of course not. He was active right now.

He was signing off on all this stuff. He was no different. In exile, though, he tried to create an image of himself. probably in today's money would be a billionaire you know he had two bank accounts one in one in Mexico and one in Switzerland was finally uncovered

so that's when this all started this is all Stalin's fault no this is what was happening here and it was Judaic from the core Lenin Lenin you know Lenin was very powerful of course as was Trotsky he had to you know

but he didn't have to really answer to anybody, but he was not a member of the tribe in that matter. At least not publicly. He wasn't perceived that way. Let's put it that way. You catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive. By design.

David Asbel remembers the Nachamins, a family of Hasidic Jews from Gomel. Asbel himself was imprisoned because of snitching by the younger family member Lev. The revolution threw the Nachamins onto the crest of a one. wave. They thirsted for the revenge on everyone. Aristocrats, the wealthy, Russians, few were left out. This was their path to self-realization. It was no accident that fate led the offspring of this glorious

clan to the Checa, GPU, NKVD, and the prosecutor's office. To fulfill their plans, the Bolsheviks needed rabid people, and this is what they got with the Nachemans. One member of this family, Roginski, achieved brilliant heights as deputy prosecutor for the U.S. But during the Stalinist purges was imprisoned, as were many, and became a cheap stool pigeon. The others were not so well known. They changed their last name to one more familiar to the Russian ear and occupied high places in the organs. Yeah, this is your, this is a, they're a walking stereotype.

This is what we're talking about here. First of all, the fact that they were Hasidic and supposed to be on their Kabbalists, that was no barrier whatsoever. they had no reason to take revenge on innocent people. That was just an excuse. It's like when people talk about oil prices going up because something happens in the Persian Gulf, that doesn't really have any effect on oil prices. No, that's a great excuse, though, for oil companies to raise prices.

And that's all this is. They, you know, they're using this. And you hear, I can't tell you the debates I've been in with idiots who will say, well, it's okay that they were killers because, you know, they were taking revenge on anti-Semites. That's why they were part of all this. And we all know that the opposite is true. Any event, their false conceptance of the pogroms, anything that they could use was just an excuse for them to take their hatred of the Goyam out. They didn't need to do anything. These are innocent people as far as they were concerned. But they needed this kind of emotional

purpose and justification. And Western media was writing this stuff down like it was like it was nothing but I've debated people before on the issue of religious Jews and the USSR no religious Jew ever had a problem you could they had plenty of party members who were religious Jews so-called religious Jews it is not really much of a religion remember the soldiers season in Saudisies in Christ's time were completely materialist didn't matter and really the Pharisees weren't that far behind once you reject logos anything is possible, as he Michael Jones would say.

And of course, changed their name. Oh, God, changing their name. That's the one last, one last piece of the puzzle there. Oh, they drive me crazy. My Lord. Winschlik did not change his name to one more familiar to the Russian ear. See, this Slavic brother became truly a father of Russians, a warplane built with funds of farmer mutual aid societies, that is, on the last dabs of money extorted from the peasants, was named after him. No doubt, farmers could not even pronounce his name and likely thought that this pole was a Jew. Indeed, this reminds us that the Jewish issue does not explain the devastation of revolution, albeit it places a heavy hue on it. As it was also hewed by many other unpronounceable names

from Polish Georginsky and Ismont to Latvian Batzaitis, and what if we looked into the Latvian issue? Apart from those soldiers who forced the dissolution of the Russian Constituent Assembly and who later provided security for the Bolshevik leaders during the entire Civil War, we find many high-place Latvia and Gekker suppressed the uprising of Yaroslavluburnaya. Among others, there were Ruzatik, a bunch of names here. One of those who suppressed the time of our Czechos, Petere, Latsis, and an honorary Czechos, Lithuanian. iusis. This this thread can lead directly to 1991 Pugo and what if we separate yeah and what if we separate Ukrainians from Russians as demanded by the Ukrainians these days we will find dozens of them at the highest post of Bolshevik hierarchy from its conception to the very end no power was not Jewish power then political power was internationalists and its ranks were to the large

extent Russian, but under its multi-head internationalism, united in an anti-Russian front against a Russian state and Russian traditions. All right, let's break this down a little bit. I have read Russian immigrant literature until it was coming out my ears, from the church on down, including some liberal people like Brodsky. Everyone at one point asked the question, why did this happen? Especially when you realize how well. the USSR was doing, sorry, the Russian Empire was doing around, you know, right after, you know, right up until 1914. And nobody, no one says the Jews took over.

No one said, no one's that stupid. Everyone knows that mashery and Judaism was a huge part of this. But that only begs the question. Russian monarchists and national soul over the world said it only begs the question. Yeah, we know that they're murderers and everything else. Now, what happened to Russia? though. How was this permitted? And they go into the decay of the, you know, the penetration of mationary into the elite, penetration of masonry and that kind of thought in, you know, either in a

lodge or a masonic point of view in the nobility. You know, the Jew, you know, these kind of things, Stoleepin's individualism, everyone has a different point of view, but no one's, And the Jews were able to then fill in that vacuum. The Russian elite were decaying. And I have a paper out, actually. I sent it to E. Michael Jones. I think it was in Cultural Wars, the sexual revolution that took place within the St. Petersburg nobility around the turn of the century. And St. Peter's River was kind of built that way.

You know, prostitution was rife. Even Gogh writes about that. In Neski Prospect, one of my favorite works of Russian literature, very depressing. And, you know, St. Petersburg itself was revolutionary. And you did have intermixing of men and women that you didn't have before. Tolstoy writes about it, for example, an Anna Karinna. So, you know, it isn't as if these monarchies will say the Jews are Jews and Jews. They don't.

No one says it. No one's that stupid. The Jews, however, were quick to take advantage of this. They're very sensitive to this kind of thing. Where's the money going in the future? What's going to happen? It's like, you know, why they're, you know, why they abandoned the Soviet unions, for example, in the late 60s, early 70s. They saw the writing on the wall, so to speak.

Why they're abandoning Israel now and moving to Dubai. They're good at that. So that's what he's talking about here. Yeah, Jews were predominantly a huge part of this revolution, and the revolution took the course it did. because of Jewish influence. But that also begs the question. Why were they in power in the first place? How was it that even the army, you know,

wrote the abdication letter enforced it on Nicholas, who did not voluntarily abdicate? That's the real issue. Why is it that the white armies, many of them weren't monarchists at all? And how was that ever the case? So those are the big issues that exile writers talk about when they

because everyone has a paper why the Russian Revolution happened or a book with that title or something like that you know

and they all you know yeah they all know they all know the Jews even liberals knew the Jews were powerful etc.

But but how it was that they ever got to that position in the first place that was a much bigger question and I think

that's what Solzhenits is talking about here. A lot of other things happened and now it's true the Jews

were always well off they did very well. There were some poor Jews who, you know, kicked out of the kaha'all or whatever it was. But we have been reading this book since I was, what, 12 or something? And we have read quite a bit as to how well the Jews did under the Tsar in Russia. But that wasn't the point is how well they did. They didn't have the power that they wanted. And yeah, they were a engine of the revolution. But you can't just ride in an engine

You have to have a lot of other pieces of a car to go And that was the decay of essentially the Russian idea Starting I think with the revolution of Peter And the decay of the monarchy in the 17th century I'm sorry the 18th century The rise of the old believers we can go on and on But so yeah saying Jews Jews you know That's yeah it's true

But it doesn't beg it really begs makes a question. And that's what he's getting on here, I think. Airgrid, operator of Ireland's electricity grid, is powering up the northwest.

In view of the anti-Russian orientation of power and the multinational makeup of the executioners, why, in Ukraine, Central Asia, and the Baltics, did the people think it was Russians who had enslaved them? Because they were alien. A destroyer from one's own nation is much closer than a destroyer from an alien tribe. And while it is a mistake to attribute the ruin and destruction to national chauvinism, at the same time in Russia in the 20s, the inevitable question hanged in the air that was posed many years later by Leonard Shapiro. Why was it, quote, highly likely that anyone unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of the Cheka would go before a Jewish interrogator or be shot by a Jew?

I have a paper in the Barnes Review. I strongly recommend our listeners look at it. I was Willis Cardo's publication. Hired at a grad school I was to as a year. editor and I just got a publication on the Soviet Union in Kazakhstan, the Jewish party and Jewish dictator of Kazakhstan, and then his Jewish successor. These Jews didn't know the first thing. If you go back, I did a lecture on it. It's a picture of Borat in Radio Albion a few months ago. A picture of Borat in front of a Kazakh flag. And of course, these guys didn't know anything about Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan was mostly nomads at the time. Some settled work in the cities, but nomads were totally destroyed. Kazakhstan population was cut by a third after those two Jews

ran it pretty much autonomously. And this is why he mentioned Central Asia, I think. You had a huge famine deliberately manifest in Kazakhstan, only when the Soviets took over it. In this case, Soviet men Jew and it was very obvious. He was eventually purged at one point. Why I can't think of his name is a mystery, but I wrote on him for a long time. But those two Jews won in succession, placed in charge of Kazakhstan, destroyed that country. In fact, nomadism was destroyed, agriculture was destroyed, and huge numbers of Kazakh left the country. Finally, Kazakhs actually, Kazak became a minority in their own country because of that.

It was really, it's an unspoken, untalked about genocide. And it really was. And you have a few other people talking about it, but I've been, you know, I had a period where I published a lot on it. And it's in the Barns Review, and I have that lecture on Radio Albion. It's very important. And he mentioned Central Asia, and it does remind me of that. It was Jewish to the core. and that's very important to point out at this point.

But it took just a bit later. We were too early, but a few years that's going to start happening. And Kazakhstan only recently has been able to recover from them. Yet the majority of modern writers failed to even acknowledge these questions. Often Jewish authors thoughtlessly and meticulously comply and published vast lists of Jewish leadership at the time. For example, see how proudly the article Jews in Kremlin, published in journal Aleph, provides a list of the highest Soviet officials, Jews for 1925. It listed eight out of 12 directors of Gosbank. The same level of Jewish representation was found among top trade union leaders,

and it comments, quote, we do not fear accusations. Quite opposite. It is active Jewish participation in governing the state that helps to understand why state affairs were better than then now. Let me say that again. I'm sorry. Quite opposite. It is active Jewish participation in governing the state that helps to understand why state affairs were better than than now when Jews at top positions are as rare as hen's teeth. Unbelievably, that was written in 1989. You know, you should be proud that we sometimes stumble over our words because our brain.

brains move a lot faster than our mouths do. When I was a professor, I students always said I spoke too fast, too quickly. And I can't. I can't talk any other way, especially since we just so full following over our words, it's a has to do with our brains. Well, I think I think we should stop there, but there's still a lot to say. It's important to note that Jews at top positions in 89. He might be right.

I already mentioned you know once Israel started winning victories against the Arabs especially six-day war Junquipur all that stuff defeating both Egypt and Syria lots of Soviet Jews but who's who's supplying Egypt and Syria

and Iraq USSR plus the fact that the industry was already becoming unprofitable post-World War II reconstruction now we're talking about the early 70s mid-70s

being anti-communist somehow became fashionable for one reason because the Jews wanted to leave okay the money isn't here anymore Israel has this in with the Americans we have this flow of money

this is where we're going that's the future for us and because the Soviets wouldn't let them leave because so many of them were high-ranking people there were people who had a lot of state secrets They were willing. The Soviets said, you know, we're not going to spend a fortune educating these people. Then having them go to Israel and give their information to the Americans. So they wouldn't let them go.

Plus the fact that, you know, Jews were so pretty important. If they left, bureaucracies would collapse. Same thing in Romania and elsewhere. So they went to the Americans, Jewish power in the U.S. and said, we want to leave. We're not Soviets anymore. We want to go to Israel and be a part of the American experience. Obviously, there's more money there. and the first time ever the U.S. put sanctions on the U.S.S.S.R.

First time ever. And they were very weak. They occurred again after the invasion of Afghanistan, but that didn't last. Now, so long as Jews were in power and slaughtering Christians, they got all this investment from the West they wanted. The minute they wanted to leave and couldn't, the Jackson-Vannic Amendment, I think it was 74 or something like that, all of a sudden there were sanctions on for the first time

nothing like they have on Putin today but and that's when they that's when they separated and I have an article coming out on Soviet Union in the 70s which is very understudied just when you talk about the Jews 1989 I think you're I think he was right yeah they were rare

they were gone they were in the US or New York the promised land or Israel which is kind of a secondary and promised land. So, yeah, it's hilarious to have him say, the majority of modern writers failed to even acknowledge these questions. Some of them don't know that they're questions. You know, they live in a censored bubble.

Others, maybe older guys, they know. But they're not going to leave their cushy, tenured position, but they don't have to do much work and make six figures. to talk about this. Sometimes, you know, it's hard to blame them. I've talked to people about the, I've talked to these guys about this. Some people know. I could never name them. I think they're all retired now, but some of them knew. But what are they, you know, what are they going to do? They can't really do anything about it. This is in the past. Especially after a couple shots, by the way. I used to be out of the drinker way back then. But they started talking like

this. So, yeah, the Goss Bank, that makes me. left too. They dominated most of the Soviet Union up until the 70s and then when the Soviet Union collapsed, all of a sudden they're everywhere again because now they're asset stripping. Now they're I think 0.1% of the Russian population. But still in Ukraine, I think there may be more like 1% of the Ukrainian population, but of course dominate the list of billionaires and millionaires and run the government in in Kiev. It just struck me

because I was in grad school in the 90s that all of a sudden you know you didn't hear about Jewish names now all of a sudden they're everywhere because the Soviet Union is gone

now they're anti-communists but they're anti-communists because now they could ask that strip with American assistance go to Israel, go to the U.S., you know, have to be citizen of the world

now is Dubai now it's a United Arab Emirates seems to be the future. Keep in mind, the Iranians flattened Israel. And that's why I think, you may know better than me, but I think the ban on pictures or videos being put on social media, but burning buildings and stuff like that. Is that ban still on?

Which one? Ban on what? The ban on social media pictures or videos of what's happening. And, you know, like when the Iranian is destroyed, much of his... Oh, they're just... Yeah, no thinking. There, if anything gets out, it's, you know, it's on phone cameras or something like that. I mean, they have really done a good job of, you know, at the beginning of this, they were,

they had their own telegram channel where they were uploading their own atrocities for whatever reason they wanted to do that. But now, you know, it's like most people don't. know that like 40,000 businesses in Israel have closed since the quote unquote 12-day war. Right. Right. Iran won that. Iran's okay.

Israel was on fire for a long time. And I don't know about rebuilding. So now I just, if you go to my radio album page, I just did a lengthy lecture on Dubai. Dubai is everywhere. Everyone wants to go there. It's on every advertisement. I'm seeing it everywhere. I can't get away from it.

Okay, the Jews have something to do with that. And that's why. Dubai is being colonized. 30 years ago, it was a fishing village. Millionaires and billionaires from Israel are moving to Dubai. UAE is about as Muslim as I am at this point. And they're taking over. They're making a deal with the devil.

They're going to be screwed. Now, UAE is going to be a target for the Iranians. UAE has made their deal. They are as Zionists as anybody else. And there's there's factions that don't like it, but they're colonizing some of the Emirates directly. And they're moving to Dubai. Zelensky has a very expensive condo there that he just bought maybe very recent, a couple of years ago. Through an intermediary, a lot of these elite Jewish elites have mansions, condos, townhouses there.

This is where they're fleeing to. and yes, huge numbers of businesses closing, massive out migration from Israel. And as I think I was the first one to expose massive desertion from the army. Not that many army guys there. How many Jews are there that could actually are at the age and physical condition to serve in the army? Well, after their eighth tour, they're done. Oh, you want to hear something crazy that's going on right now? I'm pretty much staying off X.

It's just, it's Twitter. It's total slop. It's, yeah, Twitter's just total slop. But I've been going on Facebook lately. And Facebook is one Hasbara post after another. And something I noticed today was they're doing these AI images of what they are calling Palestinians and Hamas and or taking random pictures from the internet. and applying a name and saying, yesterday, the IDF killed this terrorist from Hamas.

And then you go and look up the name and the name doesn't exist. Yeah. It's just this complete propaganda push. And, you know, it's, well, because Israel's paying people $7,000 opposed to do things like this. Yeah, yeah. They've been doing that for quite some time, but it's gone into overdrive now. And I think a lot of them are based in America as well as in as in Israel. Israel is not a safe place.

Oh, India. India is where a lot of these accounts that are doing this are Indians. And I tell you that you're going to start seeing a lot more from the United Arab Emirates. But we're at an age. I was there at the beginning of the computer revolution. So were you. I could spot AI. AI still hasn't reached the point where I'm fooled by it. Boomers might be fooled by it.

I think boomers are. Boomers will read a caption of a picture and believe it. which could be anything they did it in Vietnam all these pictures they had a caption that described it it could be any damn thing but they read the caption they think that's what it is they may be fooled by it

but we know from so many different sources that that war decimated Israel the Iron Dome was completely destroyed Iran showed itself extremely powerful and very impressive not that you would hear about it anywhere else however

AI is now taking over, apparently, as a way to make it look good. The U.S. did the same thing, maybe not so much AI, but U.S. did the same thing in Afghanistan. I remember a video I saw on YouTube. The thing was, U.S. helicopters destroy a Taliban drug lab. Of course, Taliban was not involved in drugs whatsoever. U.S. was. Now, it was a nighttime goggles, a green, you know. It could be any building.

It was just a building. I don't know who the heck it was. But the boomers all accepted it. Another one was a firefight with ISIS. This was also a part of Afghanistan. Now, I watched this video. There were Americans shooting. I didn't see anyone else.

I didn't see any return fire. I didn't see anything. It was just a bunch of Americans in a trench. So this method has been used. This is propaganda. I mean, all countries do this during wartime. It's true. But these realities and the Americans just are at a different level.

And now with AI, I could picture these, you know, 75-year-old boomers going, oh, my God. Could they believe anything they see? So, but that's just, you know, the Afghanistan stuff, I used to laugh. All the ISIS crap. I mean, I knew ISIS was phony. I mean, they're an actual group, but they're, you know, 100% American and kosher. The Charlie's Angels picture in the desert. I'll never, and they people bought it. They had their own fleet of oil tankers overnight.

It was obviously supported by very powerful people. So I think with that kind of thing, yeah, there's a certain element who wants to believe it, certain element that's not smart enough. They're not critical thinkers. But I wonder today, I'm a little bit more optimistic than I would have been like, say, five years ago that there's plenty of people who are going to know this is AI. AI hasn't quite gotten to the point yet where it's perfect. Maybe it never will. There's always something off about it. I know an AI picture. So that's where we are as far as that goes. But it's very powerful aspect of propaganda that me and you didn't know that much about, say, a decade ago. Yeah. There was actually a picture and it was going around. And it was being spread

as truth. And I'm sure, I mean, obviously the people who made it and the first people who spread it knew it was AI and that it was bullshit. But I saw people spreading this, people with like big accounts. It was supposed to be a picture of Daira Yassan, not Dyeria San, Babayar. And it had, it has a bunch of it was a trench. And it has a bunch of people of allegedly Jews who were in this trench. And like, you can see little kids whose bodies are half into the, into the side of the trench. So it's like completely uncanny. And it's like, and people are spreading this like it's real. And I'm like, do you even know what the whole narrative is? There's no trench.

Where's the frigging, you know, where's the cliff, the, you know, this alleged cliff and everything? It's like, come on. Come on. The Jews tried to promote the idea because, you know, the ISIS will never attack an American, Saudi, or, Israeli target. Never. Any ally of the Ewa will never touch. Never fight for the Palestinians. In fact, fight against them. They

tried to fix this with a picture of a guy halfway into a ditch that he was supposed to be digging. It says an Israeli spy killed by ISIS. Now, I'm looking at this picture. It went around. It still on the line somewhere. This guy doesn't have a piece, it doesn't have

a drop of sweat on him. His orange jumpsuit. Now, what terrorist group has a, has a, has a standard jumpsuits for its prisoners. They had the best laundry I ever seen. All these things, not a drop a sweat on him, not a drop of dirt on him. He was this photoshopped into that picture. Photoshop, something by the way created by Stalin. And people bought it. Oh, you see, look, look they do with Israel. How do you, first of all, this guy could be anybody. He doesn't have any sweat or any,

and he's supposed to have been digging this thing in the desert for however long it takes to dig, you know, hours. It is really spot. Who knows who the heck of him? It was a terrible Photoshop jump. All those early ISIS videos were bad. The Osama bin Laden videos were bad. Sometimes I think they'd do it on purpose, see how far they can go. But that's where we are. I get kicked off of Facebook groups by pointing this out.

It's the most obvious thing in the world. But there's a boomer element out there that has trouble absorbing this kind of thing. The hell with them. Let's leave it on that. I mean, I echo that sentiment 100%. I mean, I, and you know, it's one of those things where as soon as you, as soon as you say, you know, screw the boomers, like really cool boomers who know exactly what's going on will be like, hey, you know, I know, it's like, yeah. Yeah, it's like the woman when you tell a woman, you know, the average height of a woman is five foot four. And she'll scream, I'm five foot six.

And it's like, really got a, come on. Come on, guys. Of course. You know, I'm, I'm very lucky. My parents weren't boomers. All my friends were. My parents were born in the 30s. They were kind of like early, late silent generation.

So there was nothing in my family at that level. Boomers just, yeah, it does refer to an age group. But certainly when you, I'm referring to a group. I'm not referring to individuals. Yeah, it's a mentality. It's truly a mentality. Right. We almost use it kind of with almost older normie, put it that way.

Correct. All right. Everybody go to the show notes and go to the description on the videos. Donate to Dr. Johnson. Start getting your Christmas present ready for Dr. Johnson or you can go give them a Halloween treat of some sort. Send them some Bitcoin or something like that. And yeah, we'll be back in a few days to pick up where we'll start talking about the Army. Get into the Red Army. That's why we stop this because at this point. there was a change in subject. But talk to you in a couple days, Dr. Johnson. Thank you. All right, my friend. Thank you. See you then.
