In November 1930, the People's Commissariat of Foreign Trade was created, and AP Rosengoltz served for seven years as its head. Jews comprised one-third of its board members. Among them was S.H. de Voilatsky, who simultaneously served in the Central Commission's on concessions in 1934, 1936, he became the Soviet trade representative,

of in France. At the end of the 1930, the People's Commissariat of Supply was created with A. McCoyen at the helm. On its board, we see M. Belenke. That is, another, actually the fifth man with the surname Balanky, encountered here. Soon he himself becomes the Narcom, replacing McCoyan. In general, in the People's Commissariats of Trade and Supply, the Jewish component was higher than in the upper party echelons from a quarter to a half. Still, let's not overlook Centroy Soyos, the bureaucratic center of Soviet pseudo-cooperation. After Lee Ketchuk in the 1920s, it was managed from 1931 to 1937 by I.A. Zelensky, whom we met earlier, whom we met earlier as a member of the board of the people's commissariat of foodstuffs.

Foodstuffs, meaning the basics, the things that you need to, you don't eat it, but you like flour and, you know, raw grain, that kind of thing. Although that was a tough job because they didn't have much of it. what he's going to do here and actually for quite a number of paragraphs one of which is going to be particularly painful for you as I look forward is show that there was no purge of Jews there was a purge of the old Bolsheviks

and what he just said right here is that you can't just talk about just the upper levels of the party. The Narcoms, too, which really had more of a direct control over things, they even had a 50% Jewish control. That's extraordinary with 2% of the population. So it's unbelievable. This is the most Jewish government you could think of outside of something like Israel. It's really extraordinary. And they saw it at least for a time as their country, even under Stalin. Let me point out once more.

All these examples are for illustrative purposes only. They should not be taken to create the impression that there were no members of other nationalities on all those boards and in the prosidiums. Of course there were. Moreover, all the above-mentioned people occupied the post only for a while. They were routinely transferred between various important positions. Yeah, we know that, Alex.

We know. We know. We're not stupid. We know that actual Russians and Georgians and Ukrainians had a role in this. We know that. It would have been impossible otherwise. But, yeah, the point is made. Let's look at transport and communications.

First railroads were managed by M. Rukimovich. His portraits could be found in the major newspapers at the time. Later, he became Narcom of the defense industry. with M. Kaganovich as his deputy, while the command over railroads was given to L. Kaganovich. There were important changes in the coal trust. I. Schwartz was removed from the board and M. Daesh was assigned to replace him. T. Rosenor managed grossneft, Grosny oil. Yaakov Kugul headed the construction of the Magnitogorsk meteorological giant. Yaakov Vesnik was the director of the Kravoy-Rogue metallurgical industrial complex,

and the hell of the Kuznetzk industrial complex, with its 200,000 hungry and ragged workers, was supervised by S. Frankfurt, and after him, by I. Epstein, the latter was arrested in 1938, but landed on his feet because he was sent to take command over the construction of the Norusk, Norilsk. industrial complex. What I'm noticing here is, you know, this section is going to be about the Jews that took these, you know, a mid-level, but extremely important positions. The point, you know, the point I was trying to make is they're not being moved around nearly as radically as they were before.

I mean, I could see Jews in some of these. areas. I could see them as a head of finance for, for, for the metal, metallurgy, you know, I could see, I could picture that. Um, they're not being, they're moved around, but maybe, maybe only geographically. They're not, not nearly as radically as they were under, uh, Leon Trotsky where, you know, or, or Lenin, where there was a scent everywhere, no matter where, you know, you just show up to Russia as a Jew, you get a job. Um, and I'm noticing that they're, they're, it's starting to make more sense in terms of building a modern bureaucracy.

The Supreme Soviet of the national economy still existed, but its significance waned. After Unschlicht, it was headed by A. Rosengoltz and then by Orzonidkidst, with Jews composing the majority of its board. At that time, the Goss Plan gathered strength. 1931, under the chairmanship of Kubelschiv, Jews comprised more than half of its 18-member board. Let's now examine the top posts in the economy during the last burgeoning year of Stalin's era in 1936. In 1936, Izvestia published the complete roster of the board of the People's Commissariat of Domestic Trade. Those 135 individuals had essentially ruled over the entire domestic trade in the USSR, are, and they were hardly disinterested men. Jews comprised almost 40% of this list, including two

deputies to the Narcom, several trade inspectors, numerous head of food and manufactured good trades and the oblasts, heads of consumer unions, restaurant trusts, cafeterias, food supplies, and storage, heads of train dining cars and railroad buffets, and of course, the head of gastronum number one in Moscow, Elissela was also a Jew. Naturally, all this facilitated smooth running of the industry in those far from prosperous years. The concept is that if you have a centrally planned economy,

that implies that you have complete control over every piece of capital in the empire. that means that these Jews own everything where you work saying that they own the economy that they ran this economy as evil as it was that was a Jewish project that's really what he's saying here and and you know they're you know everything from you know heavy industry refers to like like what food stuff says to food heavy industry is to industry it's the things that you need to build things but the foundation for it

like railroads and coal steel that kind of thing once every industry is finished then you could go and build other things with it and in both sides of it Jews controlled it 40%

they're 2% of the economy I'm sorry there are 2% of the population Yeah, Drew's had a great time under Stalin. This Christmas celebrate your team with a one-for-all gift card.

The management of the Union's Fishing Trust made major political mistakes.

As a result, Moisei Frumpkin was relieved of his post at the Board of the People's Commissariat of Domestic Trade. We saw him in the 1920s as a deputy. the Narcoma foreign trade. Comrade Frumpkin was punished with a stern repriman and a warning. Conrad Kleinman suffered the same punishment, and Comrade Naprockin was expelled from the party. Soon after that, as Vestia published an addendum to the roster of the People's Commissariat of Heavy Industry with 215 names in it. Those wishing to can delve into it as well. A present-day author thus writes about those people by the 1930s, quote,

The children of the Declass a Jewish petty bourgeoisie succeeded in becoming the commanders of the great construction projects. And so it appeared to those who, putting in 16 hours a day for weeks and months, never leaving the foundation pits, the swamps, the deserts, and Taiga, that it was their country. However, the author is wrong. It was blackened hard workers in yesterday's peasants who had no respite from toiling in foundation pits. and swamps, while the director is only occasionally promenaded there, they mainly spent time in offices enjoying their special provision services, the bronze foreman. But undoubtedly, their harsh and strong-willed decisions helped to bring these construction projects to completion, building up the industrial potential of the USSR. Well, last time we already talked about

the American and Western European contribution to all of this. Um, you know, they, they, they, they, they, they, they received concessions under Lenin and Stalin and, and, and could make a certain amount of money, but still came, but still came under those, uh, narcotics, uh, and commissions. Um, but you really, the sheer number of deaths in industry, uh, people work to death, people breathing in horrible fumes and dying. I mean, it is, it is, it is almost absurd. there were no regulations on anything. The Goyim were forced into this. They were formerly free peasants not that long ago. And now the entire family has to work in this factory, owned by the Jews, owned by their enemies, and with very little by rations.

And the death toll was tremendous. And right up until 1941, The death cold, the death cold grew higher and higher and higher and higher every year. These people were almost tortured to death working in these horrible conditions. You think the British were bad in the 18th century? There was nothing like under Stalin. And this, of course, led me to believe that the revolution had nothing to do with labor, had nothing to do with workers, it had to do with power, and a specific Jewish power.

And it's because of this kind of thing. And, you know, I've read some in Russian some of the reports of what it was like. You know, going to the gulag sometimes was a lateral move in terms of their conditions. Everything was destroyed. You were cut off from family. And deaths and severe injury were a daily event at every factory in the U.S. with the full knowledge, by the way, of the U.S. and the British. Thus, the Soviet Jews obtained a weighty share of state, industrial, and economic power

at all levels of government in the USSR. The personality of B. Roizenman merits particular attention. See for yourself. He received the Order of Lenin in recognition of his exceptional services in the adjustment of the state apparatus to the objectives of the large-scale offensive for socialism. What secrets inscrutable to us could be hidden behind this offensive? We can glance into some of them from the more direct wording for carrying out, quote, special missions of top state importance on the cleanup of state apparatus in the Soviet diplomatic missions abroad.

Now let's look at the state of affairs and diplomacy. The 1920s were examined in the preceding chapter. encounter other important people. For example, in the spring of 1930, Izvestia reported on page one and under a separate heading that F.A. Rothstein, the board member of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, returned from vacation and resumed his duties. Well, didn't they only write this way about Stalin? To the best of my knowledge, neither or John Niskeza nor McCoyen, other very top functionaries was honored in such a way. Yet very soon, Rothstein made a slip and his career ended up two months later, ended two months later, in July 1930. With the designation of Litvinov as Narcom, Rossstein was removed from the board, even though we may remember he claimed credit for the creation of the British Communist Party.

In the 1930s, at the peak of Litvanov's power, a new generation appeared. The Jewish Encyclopedia writes, there was a notion of the Litvenov School of Diplomacy that included the outstanding personalities of K. Umansky, Y. A. Surrits, B. Stein. He was already successful in the beginning of the 1920s, and E. Nadin, son of Parvus. Erinberg added here the name of E. Rubinan. Just as in the 1920s diplomacy attracted a cadre of Jews, so it did through the early and mid-1930s. From the moment the USSR was accepted into the League of Nations, we see Litvanovstein, Nadin, and also Brenner, Stashevsky, Marcus Rosenberg, and Svadesk, a Georgian, as to senior

members of the Soviet delegation. It was these people who represented Soviet Russia at that form of nations. There were Soviet planetitentiaries in Europe of Jewish origin, in English. Meiski, in Germany and later in France, Y.A. Suritz, in Italy, B. Stein, after Kamenev. We also see Jewish plenipotentiaries in Spain, Austria, Romania, Greece, Lithuania, Latvia, Latvia, Latvia, Belgium, Norway, and in Asia. For example, the above-mentioned Suritz represented the Soviet Union in Afghanistan as early as the Russian Civil War. Later from 1936, B. Svirsky served in Afghanistan. For many years, he was the unofficial Soviet representative

in Washington. In the early and mid-1930s, a great number of Jews successfully continued to work in Soviet trade delegations. Here we find another Belanke, already the sixth individual of the same name, B.S. Belanke, who was the trade representative in Italy from 1934 to 1937. So these people weren't just representatives of the USSR. There were representatives of Jewelry in general. And putting them in diplomatic positions was just to plug into this. We all know what happening in the British and the French condemning Russian anti-Semitism all over the place for every little thing. And very fact that they were accepted into the League of Nations.

you know, just by itself shows you that somehow the left gets away with things that the right never can. But, and I think part of that is Jewish money. There was always this circulation, Jews always had a circulatory system of the various cities and states, always this tremendous amount of liquidity. to use, like up here, Eganid and son of Parvus. Parvus is one of the main intermediaries in financing the Soviet Bolshek Party prior to the revolution.

And that's not insignificant. I'm sorry. Anyway, so that's, yeah, they're there to plug into the Jewish community there, which, of course, is very powerful.

Endless memories. Concerning the Red Army, the aforementioned Israeli researcher Aaron Abramovich writes that in the 1930s, a significant number of Jewish officers served in the Army. There were many of them, in particular in the Revolutionary Military Soviet, in the Central Administrations of the People's Commissariat of Defense, in the general staff, and at lower levels, in the military districts in the Army's Corps, divisions, brigades, and all military units. the Jews still played a prominent role in the political organs.

The entire central political administration of the Red Army came under command of the trustworthy Meckles after the suicide of the trustworthy Gammarnik. Here are several names from the cream of the political administration. Morduk Khorush was a deputy director of the political administration of the Red Army in the 1930s, and later until his arrest, he was in charge of the political administration. of the Kiev military district.

From 1929 through 1937, Lazar Arenstam headed the political administration of the Belarusian, Belarusian military district, then of the special Far Eastern Army, and later of the Moscow military district. Isaac Grinberg was a senior inspector of the political administration of the Red Army

and later the deputy director of the political administration of the Leningrad district. Boris Ipbo, he participated in the pacification of Central Asia during the Civil War as the head of the political administration of the Turk-Turkistan Front and later of the Central Asian District was the head of the political administration of the Caucasus's Red Army and later the director of the military political academy. The already mentioned Mikhail Landa from 1930 to 1937 was the chief editor of Krasnaya Zveda, the Red Star, the official newspaper of the Soviet military. Nam Rzovsky was a military prosecutor since the Civil War. By 1936, he was the chief military prosecutor of the Red Army. Now, I know I've said this before, but it's often brought up in different ways using different terms. What is the political administration?

These are precisely the people I mentioned before, where you would have a, usually a Jewish communist at the side of every general, of every admiral, making sure that what he did was, according to party doctrine and Soviet doctrine, and that he didn't become too popular, and that he didn't become a Russian nationalist or something horrible like that. So many of the losses in World War II, Soviet side came from their incompetence. None of these men had a military experience.

None of them. The political administration had nothing to do with actual combat. They were there to enforce Soviet doctrine, especially when World War II broke out that one is allowed to retreat and there was always a line behind to shoot that's no myth that's absolutely true and i have mountains of evidence to back that up um and in english do solomon's war of extermination that book by itself um goes into great detail as to what a what the political administration is they had the school you only the most fanatical communists and you would think that that would be mostly jews

were given those roles and a military man of high rank couldn't do anything without their approval what are they called push they're called like push lines or something like that i know suvoroff mentioned yeah yeah um he does i forget exactly what it is uh push or just i can't remember the term off the top of my head but a huge number of their words losses came from that. Yeah, anybody who was retreating was shot by this, by this line of this push line. Yeah. Yep. Garmorneck remained the deputy of Voroshislov, the chairman of the revolutionary military Soviet until 1934, when the organization was disbanded. In the 1930s, in addition to those named in the previous chapter, among the heads of the central administrations

of the Red Army, we encounter the following individuals. Abram Volpe, the head of the Administrative Mobilization Administration. In the previous chapter, he was identified as the chief of staff of the Moscow military district. Semyon Eritzky of the Military Intelligence Administration until 1937. Boris Feldman, isn't that my dentist? I'm sorry. It's my accountant. Boris Feldman, the head of the Central Personnel Administration and Leonty Kotliar,

the head of the Central Military Engineering Administration in the pre-war. war years. Among the commanders of the branches of the military, we find A. Goltzman, the head of the military aviation from 1932. We already saw him in the Central Control Commission, and as a union activist, he died in a plane crash. Among the commanders of the military districts, we again see Ayona Yakir, Crimean District and later the Important Kiev District, and Lev Gordon, Turkestan district. Although we have no data on Jewish representation in the lower ranks, there is little doubt that when a structure, be it a political administration of the Army, a supply service, or a party or a commissariat apparatus, was headed by a Jew. It was accompanied as a rule by a quite

noticeable Jewish presence among its staff. So you can't talk to me, you can't talk to anyone about there being some kind of anti-Semitic purge here. because those generals that survived and those these these generals are an admirals were retired you know they weren't you know slaughtered or anything you know i said that before um every last one of them uh the new the their replacements uh who were competent had to have one of these guys next to them i i still can't imagine doing your job you know coming up with strategy and looking over these maps and everything and talking to lower level officers and having this guy, you know, in your ear, that Yiddish accent, talking about,

you know, we need to slaughter the, the William here. And that was exactly the case in Central Asia, which he mentions here, where there was a full genocide there under the Jewish administration. But political administration, meaning it was attached to the military. and there was no other country that I know of that had anything like this well except for common you know China had something like that and but it does show the fear and the Jewish elite that you know the army may start having opinions of their own because yeah there were plenty of Jewish officers they weren't a huge number and if they start having opinions of their own we might be in serious trouble

and as they were responsible for more and more deaths of the glory on the front they even if they were freed from these people they'd be a slaughter these guys were particularly prized by Germans if they could ever pick one off during the invasion they knew all about it

and they also had a connection to the partisans too and for the invasion becoming as partisans and only the most fanatical could work there as I've said and you know the lower ranks yet you may have had an office for a bunch of the lower ranks but not one to one like you have the generals and an admiral yet service in the army of is not a vice. It can be quite constructive. So what about our good old GPU NKVD? A modern research relying on archives writes, the first half of the 1930s was characterized by the increasingly important role of Jews in the state security apparatus. And on the eve of the most massive repressions, the ethnic composition of the Supreme Command of the NKVD, the list of decorated Czechos

on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Cheka OGPU NKVD. The list of 407 senior officials published in the central press contained 56 Jews, 13.8%, and 7 Latvians, 1.7%. When the GPU was reformed into the NKVD with Yagoda at the head, they twice published the names of the Supreme Commissars of the NKVD. What a rare chance to peek behind a usually impenetrable wall. Commissars of state security of the first rank, YAS. There's a list of a ton of Jewish names here. I would say it's painful look at, yeah, 15. Of course not.

Very few of them look like, of very few of them are Russian names. Yeah. Of course, not all of them were Jews, but a good half were. So the Jewish Czechists were still there. They didn't leave, nor were they forced out of the NKVD. The same NKVD, which was devouring the country after the death of Kirov, and which later devoured itself. Yeah, the bringing Cheka, which was a more wild,

just sort of the, you know, peasants, Goyim, had to be brought, made into a more regular bureaucracy. And that was the NKVD. They were getting settled as an actual revolutionary empire or nation state, or however you want to put it. But Stalin was aware that, you know, you needed to have these people and they were overseeing you know it's not just um military but in any area where jews were not well represented in any sector of the economy you had a

political administration there too so it is you know they could be two percent of the of the um of the party but if they're used this way then it is a completely jewish phenomenon and the starvation and the absolute, you know, slaughter in, um, and, you know, again, industrialization, usually with American funds during the Depression, no less. Um, we couldn't use them in, in the U.S. Um, the hard, hard working conditions that I don't have, I have an excellent vocabulary. Uh, but I, I can't, I can't describe that from what. I've read thus far, at least in Russian, you know, the family was brought, the family was

initially abolished under Lenin, but that created such chaos that they had to, you know, make a divorce more difficult, etc. Um, uh, Polonia Columtai was the, uh, the female, um, I don't know if she was a Jew or not, actually. I don't know. She was in charge of like family and cultural things, and she wanted to abolish it entirely, make abortion real easy, that kind of thing. But that had to change.

Nevertheless, the ideology had done its job. And all of Russia essentially became one big proletarian except for these Jews. A.A. Slutsky was a director of the NKVD foreign section, that is, he was in charge of espionage abroad. His deputies were Boris Berman and Sergei Spiegelglass. Pauker was a barber from Budapest who connected with the communists while he was a Russian POW in 1916. Initially, he was in charge of the Kremlin security and later became the head of the operations section of the NKVD. Of course, due to secrecy and the non-approachability of these highly-placed individuals,

it is difficult to judge them conclusively. Take, for instance, Naum, Leonid Ettingen, who orchestrated the murder of Trotsky and was the organizer of the Cambridge Five espionage ring and who oversaw the nuclear espionage after the war, a true ace of espionage. Or take Lev Feldben. He used a catchy pseudonym of Alexander Orloff, a prominent and long-serving Chequist. He headed the economic section of the foreign department of GPU, that is, he supervised all foreign trade of the USSR. He was a trusted agent of those who were instructed in the shroud of full secrecy on how to extract extract false confessions from the victims.

Many of the NKVD investigators ended up being subordinate to him, and yet he was completely hidden from the public and became famous only later when he defected to the West, and how many such posts were there? Yeah, he didn't quite make the level of fame, as Sultanith himself did, or, you know, Berman or any others. but this is I like the idea of extracting false confessions that somehow that became a Jewish specialty and we all know where that could be applied

and where that was applied Pauker of course eventually or I guess was his daughter or something took over Romania after World War II and became a dictator they're completely alienated these people had no connection

to the countries that they ruled or the regions that they ruled or the regions that they ruled you know and espionage abroad yeah that's you know they had some of it it was very easy for them to get

you know the Cambridge 5th most homosexuals uh in Britain um getting nuclear nuclear you know formulas and everything else uh right after the war. You know, we talked about this where the Jews were getting, that then when things

got worse, as time went on after this, and Jews became, were separating from the Soviet Union. They then took all of this knowledge to Israel and hence the U.S. So it was used by them. Not that it affected the Soviet Union too much. Remember, the Soviets were. supporting the Syrians and the Iraqis. So the NKVD was in charge of bringing people to the camps, which sometimes, depending on where the camp was, compared to the industrial life, I don't know. Maybe it was an improvement. Maybe that's an exaggeration.

But these guys were good. They weren't as good. The Americans had more foreign national. It was better. MI6. They were a little bit better. They had more of an interest, really because there wasn't much of a need. Because still, in the Western world, intellectuals overwhelmingly saw the U.S.S.Rs away for the future. And so foreign espionage, what for? You already have them investing here. Then after World War II, the U.S. completely eliminated all war debt. I said, that would be a huge debt. The only time I think the state has ever done that in this case, and then started rebuilding parts of the Russian economy, including the military

part of it. There was never a time where there was any separation between Western elites, whether you're mediated by Jews and then the elites in the USSR, until maybe the late 70s. Or take Mikhail Koltsov Friedland, the political advisor to the Republican government of Spain, who took part in some of the major GPU adventures. M. Berman was assigned as deputy to the Narcom of Internal Affairs. Azov, within three days of the latter, was installed on September 27, 1936. Still, Berman remained the director of the Gulag. And along with Etchoff came his handyman.

Mikhail Litvin, his longtime associate in the Central Committee of the Party, became the director of the personnel department of the NKVD. By May 1937, he rose to the unmatched rank of the secret political section of the main directorate of state security of the NKVD. In 1931 through 36, Henrik Lushkov was the deputy director of that section. He deserted to Japan in 1938 and was then killed by a Japanese bullet in 1945. By the end of the war, the Japanese did not want to give him back and had no option but shoot him. In this way, we can extensively describe the careers of each of them.

In the same section, Alexander Rajalovsky was an agent for special missions. Another longtime Eshoff colleague, Isaac Shapiro, was Eshoff's personal assistant from 1934, and then he became director of the NKVD secretariat, and later was the director of the infamous special section of the main directorate of state security of the NKVD. Look, these men, these Jews were responsible for the deaths of maybe 30 million people. through different ways in different places. I'm not talking about the war, but I'm talking about, you know, the starvation or execution or freezing to death.

And no one's ever heard of them. And that's the outrage here. And Jews still talk very highly about Stalin. having defeated the Nazi menace, but this was, these people were in charge of the Gulag. They were in charge of these executions, Berman and many others. As I said a hundred times before, in the punitive areas, the areas of police units, the Jews figured prominently. Of course, none of them were actually, you know, military men or policemen, but they knew what they wanted to do.

So, the very fact he's listing all of these Jews here, these Jews are collectively responsible for the deaths of 20, 30 million. And the fact that no one's ever heard of them, no one's ever suffered because of this. In fact, they're celebrated is something that irritates me and will always irritate me. In December 1936, among the head of 10 sections for secrecy designated only by number. Of the main Directorate of State Security of the NKVD, we see seven Jews, the security section, number one, K. Poker, counterintelligence, L. Mirinov, special section, L. Leplevsky, Transport, A. Shannon, Foreign Section, A. Slutsky Records and Registration, V. Cessarsky

prisons, Y.A. Weinstock. Over the course of the meat grinding year of 1936, several other Jews occupied posts of directors of those sections. A. Zalpeter Operation Section, Y. A. Agranov, followed by M. Litvin, secret political section. A. Meneyev, Sikanovski, Counterintelligence, and I. Shapiro special section. You know, it seems like that Jews take or were placed in the utter dominant positions. within a bureaucracy. Yeah, they can't control everything. Everyone technically is a government worker in the USSR, but in terms of the state, you know, there's not that many Jews. So, but they were given head of the chief positions, prisons, you know, records and registration,

counterintelligence, stuff like that. Human resources, as I've heard before, you know, the center, the heartbeat of any organization. And the very fact that you had these political commissars on top of that. So if there were too many going, you know, in one place, especially if they were Russian, and anything was heard from them, that they were upset, you know, there's too many Jews, it's Russians are being exploited. it got back to whoever needed to get back to the head of the police unit

and that guy would be gone. And, you know, the other thing that irritates me is that during this era, you have Western churchmen, I've said this before, but it was a little different now, being brought over, given the tour, the Potemkin Village tour, you know, on these happy workers throwing flowers,

and food packed up and up and down. And they're so stupid. They'd actually go back and say, there's no persecution in USSR. USSR is a Christian country. And the Russian church that Stalin had to create, but he did create in 1944, talked about his defense of the Orthodox faith.

You know, and Solzhenitin actually talked about this much later on in his career, or earlier than this book, I should say, but later than the archipelago. You know, like for example, there was a oftentimes prisoners were sent to the gulagued in a truck that was marked. neat. And they saw a lot of these trucks going by. And, you know, the archbishop of Canterbury went, oh, my God, they're so prosperous here. And went back and told everyone, told everyone that. The WCC was very pro-Soviet from there on in, as was the Patrick of Constance and Ropold. It's just, it's extremely upsetting, the entire situation. But I am happy that one guy who deserted was shot by the Japanese 1945. That made me laugh.

I named the leadership of the Gulag in my book Gulag Archipelago. Yes, there was a large proportion of Jews among its command. Portraits of the directors of construction of the White Sea Baltic Canal, which I reproduced from the Soviet commemorative corpus of 1936, caused outrage. They claim that I have selected the Jews only on purpose. but I did not select them. I just reproduced the photographs of all the high directors of the Belbutzlaug from that immortal book.

Am I guilty that they have turned out to be Jews? Who had selected them for those posts? Who is guilty? I will now add information about three prominent men whom I did not know then. Before the Belbotslog, one Lazare Kogan worked as the head of the gulag, Zinovi Katznelsson was the deputy. head of the gulag from 1934 onward. Israel Pliner was the head of the gulag from 1936, and later he oversaw the completion

of construction of the Moscow Volga Canal, 1937. Whenever you talk about the canals, you talk about mass death, mass death, but especially up north, but also in the central regions. It was so difficult working on that. most of this stuff was done by hand and yeah they froze to death up north and they were worked to death and sometimes drowned down south and they should be also included in the list of people i don't know most many of our listeners probably have the black book of communism i think the hoover press puts that out hoover interest who press puts that out and it goes through

some of this in great detail and um that's where the 30 million figure comes from because it includes stuff like this and why is it that one jew after another after another after another runs a gulag why would that be the case there's you know there has to be a reason for it because you know a jew is not going to see um and there were there were some you know jewish inmates I'm not going to deny that. But overwhelmingly, it was the Guiam. They're not going to care. It's like Zelensky in his inner circle right now,

who are entirely Jewish, doesn't give a damn about casualties. But only a Jew could do that. And this is... But the control of the Goulog... log. And then the Jews turned on him in Sultan-Etsin after he published that. It didn't matter whether he won the Nobel Prize or not. And there was a flood of anti-Soltenitzen, academic literature that came out after that. How dare he mention that the names of these people. Sometimes

they accused him of making it up. They accused him of cherry-picking. He was doing. no such thing he was simply listing them and you know he uh um and and so solstin eton then was trailed by the fbii for quite a while um i've seen his fbi report which is available it's somewhere in pdf form they didn't trust him uh they never kicked him out but they didn't trust them it all comes down to the jews It can't be denied that history elevated many Soviet Jews into the ranks of the arbiters of the fate of all Russians. Was it history, Dr. Johnson?

I've never met history before. I guess he has. I think he may be doing that tongue in cheek, maybe a little bit. And he called this book immortal. You know, you don't usually say stuff like that about your own book. it's it's yeah I think I think it's a little bit funny on his part that's just random that they're there no they're there because they're Jews and they dominated the party and the the slaughter of of Russians just take Russians just of the Russian ethnicity alone um you know they have a

huge responsibility for this. Actually, they have almost the entire responsibility for this. I don't know this about Solzhenycin, and I'm probably way off. He wasn't Hegelian, was he? Oh, well, you know, I tend to be one. Right. But I could see a Hegelian writing that, I could see a Hegelian writing that sentence. Yeah, yeah, that would have to need a lot of explanation.

But it's not something I would ever write. Right. Because it removes more responsibility, which is something that Hake will never do anyway. Yeah. You know, the German idealists, all of them knew what the Jew was and talked about. Even Emmanuel Kant condemned the Jews in no uncertain terms. It's only been since World War II that you can't talk about the Jews.

Prior to that, you had everyone at one point or another, including these leftists. We talked about already. The founders of all these leftist movements, knowing that the Jews were a problem. And our talk on the Udayan Frog, the Jewish question that we did separately from this, but clearly connected to this, you went through all the all the um founders of the the the leftist movements anarchism and socialism and they all knew what the jew was and they mentioned it i mean pierre joseph prudhon the founder of anarchism bakun the founder of russian anarchism yeah these are significant people and they they talked about it often and especially

but Coonan. And he would agree with us on all of this stuff. He wouldn't agree with our solutions. But he would agree with us on the Jewish nature of this. He would have despised the Soviet Union. It would have been the opposite of everything he fought for. He was a demonist. Don't get me wrong.

But in this particular issue, he would have been with us 100%. All right. We're going to break right there. We're at a stopping point. And I will encourage everyone to go over to the show notes and the description of the videos. And not only support Dr. Johnson's work, but I'm going to add the links to his new book there. Go buy it. Don't deprive yourself of the information that he's putting out about the Russo-Ukrainian war.

And, yeah, that's a good way to support Dr. Johnson's work. if you're one of those people who just doesn't want to send money. Go buy the book. Right. So you can learn something along the way, too. So that's it, Dr. Johnson. We will reconvene in a couple of days and for episode 94 and keep this going. All right.

I'll talk to you then, my friend. Take care. Bye. And... ...and... ...their... ...their... ...their...
