Bolshevik Revolution

The build up to the Bolshevik Revolution started with bad government and a general dissatisfaction in the Russian Empire. There were different races and a large admixture of Ashkenazi Jews. They helped foment revolution and it happened in 1903 but the people lost and the Tsar regained control. The next revolution was the February Revolution in 1917. The people won. Then the professional revolutionaries hurried back from America, Switzerland and other places. They carried out the Bolshevik Revolution and the attack on the Winter Palace. It was in fact a coup d'état carried out to defeat the people and nascent democracy. They then fought a major war to get control of the rest of the empire. It was Reds versus Whites. There was also a peasant party. It is not generally known but should be that Jews fomented revolution, formed 100% of the Bolsheviks along with most of the Mensheviks and were very big in the Cheka, the secret police that carried out the terror. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn tells us that two thirds of the  Cheka in Kiev were Jews. He was in a position to know. They have a potential for evil which they have exercised to the full. They could use it for good instead. Here is some of the evidence regarding this little essay.

The Bolshevik Revolution Was Financed By Rich Jews
QUOTE
I was not so totally naive that I did not recognize some of the powerful taboos surrounding discussion of the Bolsheviks, particularly regarding their ethnic composition. Although most of the books hardly emphasized the point, anyone with a careful eye for the occasional sentence or paragraph would surely know that Jews were enormously over-represented among the top revolutionaries, with three of Lenin’s five potential successors— Trotsky, Zinoviev, and Kamenev—all coming from that background, along with many, many others within the top Communist leadership. Obviously, this was wildly disproportionate in a country having a Jewish population of perhaps 4%, and surely helped explain the large spike in worldwide hostility towards Jews soon afterward..............

Allegedly Jacob Schiff, America’s leading Jewish banker, had been the crucial financial supporter of the Bolshevik Revolution, providing the Communist revolutionaries with $20 million in funding.

My first reaction was that such a notion was utterly ridiculous since a fact so enormously explosive could not have been ignored by the many dozens of books I had read on the origins of that revolution..............

Once I checked around a little, I discovered that numerous mainstream accounts described the enormous hostility of Schiff towards the Czarist regime for its ill-treatment of Jews, and these days even so establishmentarian a source as Wikipedia’s entry on Jacob Schiff notes that he played a major role financing the Russian Revolution of 1905, as was revealed in the later memoirs of one of his key operatives. And if you run a search on “jacob schiff bolshevik revolution” numerous other references come up, representing a wide variety of different positions and degrees of credibility. One very interesting statement appears in the memoirs of Henry Wickham Steed, editor of The Times of London and one of the foremost international journalists of his era. He very matter-of-factly mentioned that Schiff, Warburg and the other top Jewish international bankers were among the leading backers of the Jewish Bolsheviks, through whom they hoped to gain an opportunity for the Jewish exploitation of Russia, and he described their lobbying efforts on behalf of their Bolshevik allies at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference following the end of the First World War.

The Barnes Review Of 200 Years Together - https://aaargh.vho.org/fran/livres10/WALENDYsolje.pdf 
QUOTE
This issue, TBR is proud to bring you something we know you have never seen in the English language. It is an overview and critical review of one of the most important books compiled in the 20th century. The book being reviewed herein was written by the 1970 recipient of the Nobel prize in literature and one of the most highly respected writers and philosophers of the age, Russian dissident Alexandr Solzhenitsyn. How could such a book escape publication in the United States? For that matter, why has no one ever translated the book into English? The title should help us understand why this book has been banned and suppressed since the day it was completed. The title of the volume we are reviewing is, simply, The Jews in the Soviet Union. This volume is part two of Solzhenitsyn's massive two-book series 200Years Together.

Bolshevik Revolution, Support And Export
QUOTE
William Boyce Thompson is an unknown name in twentieth-century history, yet Thompson played a crucial role in the Bolshevik Revolution.1 Indeed, if Thompson had not been in Russia in 1917, subsequent history might have followed a quite different course. Without the financial and, more important, the diplomatic and propaganda assistance given to Trotsky and Lenin by Thompson, Robins, and their New York associates, the Bolsheviks may well have withered away and Russia evolved into a socialist but constitutional society.

Who was William Boyce Thompson? Thompson was a promoter of mining stocks, one of the best in a high-risk business. Before World War I he handled stock-market operations for the Guggenheim copper interests. When the Guggenheims needed quick capital for a stock-market struggle with John D. Rockefeller, it was Thompson who promoted Yukon Consolidated Goldfields before an unsuspecting public to raise a $3.5 million war chest. Thompson was manager of the Kennecott syndicate, another Guggenheim operation, valued at $200 million. It was Guggenheim Exploration, on the other hand, that took up Thompson's options on the rich Nevada Consolidated Copper Company. About three quarters of the original Guggenheim Exploration Company was controlled by the Guggenheim family, the Whitney family (who owned Metropolitan magazine, which employed the Bolshevik John Reed), and John Ryan. In 1916 the Guggenheim interests reorganized into Guggenheim Brothers and brought in William C. Potter, who was formerly with Guggenheim's American Smelting and Refining Company but who was in 1916 first' vice president of Guaranty Trust.
UNQUOTE
Wall Street was happy to finance the Bolshevik Revolution as a road to controlling Russia. They wanted a captive market. The Wiki paints a much rosier picture of the man.

 

Alsace Soviet Republic
QUOTE
November 1918 was the period of transition when the region of Alsace-Moselle passed from German to French sovereignty at the end of World War One. During this month, international events were linked to domestic troubles, particularly the German Revolution. Marxist councils of workers and soldiers (Soldaten und Arbeiterr�te) formed in M�lhausen (Mulhouse) on November 9 and in Kolmar (Colmar) and Straussburg (Strasbourg) on November 10, in parallel to other such bodies set up in the general revolutionary atmosphere of the expiring Reich and in imitation of the Russian equivalent soviets.......

In this chaotic situation the Landtag proclaimed itself the supreme authority of the land with the name of Nationalrat, the Soviet of Strasbourg claimed the foundation of a Republic of Alsace-Lorraine, while SPD Reichstag representative for Colmar, Jacques Peirotes, announced the establishment of the French rule, asking Paris to send troops quickly. While the soviet councils disbanded themselves with the departure of the German troops between November 11 and 17, the arrival of the French Army stabilized the situation: French troops put the region under occupatio bellica and entered Strasbourg on November 21
UNQUOTE
Short lived but it was what Lenin wanted.

 

November 1918 in Alsace
QUOTE
On 8 November 1918, the proclamation of a Soviet Republic in Bavaria was aired in Strasbourg, the capital city of Alsace. The next day, on November 9, thousands of demonstrators rallied at the local bakers square in Strasbourg, to acclaim the first soldiers returning home from northern Germany. A train controlled by insurgents was blocked on the Kehl bridge, and a loyal commander ordered to fire on the train. One insurgent was killed, but his fellows took control of the city of Kehl.

The same day, Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated and Philipp Scheidemann declared Germany a republic in a speech from the Reichstag. As Alsace-Lorraine had been administered by Berlin and the Emperor, and had no state government and monarch like other German states, the departure of the Emperor left an even larger vacuum of power.

Similar to other areas of Germany, the former seamen established a Soldiers' Council of Strasbourg, and took control of the city. A council of workers and soldiers was then established and presided by the leader of the brewery workers' union. Their motto was: 'Neither German nor French nor neutral.'



Flag of the National Council and the Republic

On 11 November, the Armistice with Germany (Compi�gne) was signed, ending the war. The same day, the Diet of Strasbourg proclaimed an Independent Republic of Alsace-Lorraine. The Landtag (parliament) proclaimed itself the "National Council of Alsace-Lorraine" and the sole legal authority there. The next day, the National Council took over all functions of the Statthalter and of the Secretary of state, and proclaimed the sovereignty of Alsace-Lorraine. Eug�ne Ricklin and Jacques Peirotes were in charge.[citation needed]

Independence was short-lived as the French occupied M�lhausen on 17 November. They took Colmar and Metz on the next days, and, on 21 November 1918, French troops arrived in Strasbourg.[citation needed]

Short lived mayhap, it is part of a reality that historians do not bother our minds with.

Fatal Embrace by Benjamin Ginsburg
Ginsburg's thesis is that Jews make themselves influential by being useful to the rulers. They then abuse their influence and it all ends in tears. His book is aimed at Jews, warning them not to try it on again. He is writing to people who were thrown out of Egypt, England and literally dozens of other countries. See Jewish Expulsions. He is writing at a time of huge Jewish influence. Look at the men who surround George Bush. Some of them were in the Clinton entourage too. Ask why America invaded Iran, or was it Iraq. It is more than just a spelling mistake. He is a Jew writing for his own but he has something to say that matters to all of us. For another review see Deadly enemy, deadly friend
PS For comment on the man and the book go to Benjamin Ginsberg, a prominent Jewish intellectual and Professor of Political Science at John Hopkins University . The Wikipedia  manages not to notice him but does a couple of others of the same name.

Jews in the Russian Revolution by Patrick McNally
QUOTE
The top US Intelligence officers posted in Russia in the years 1917-1924 reported in detail how the Bolsheviks were supported and funded by their cousins in Wall Street who thought that they were thereby ruining Russia and annihilating its power,..... According to official Party statistics about 90 percent of all Bolshevik Commissars were Jewish in the first years of the Revolution........
UNQUOTE
A discussion between experts is divided.

 

Jews After The Revolution
Jews were very active in the Bolshevik movement. Lenin found them very useful. Later their Zionist bent, which Stalin rightly saw as a nationalist put them out of favour.
QUOTE
Jews retained their leading roles in Soviet society until growing anti-Semitism within the Communist Party itself led to a change in policy. Trotsky was the first major Jewish casualty: he split with Stalin over the issue of international socialism and the need to spread the revolution: he was forced into exile in 1929. He was then assassinated in Mexico City in 1940, allegedly by a Stalinist agent.

By the middle 1930s, Stalin had started purging the Soviet Communist Party of other important Jews. The period immediately following the end of the Second World War and the creation of the state of Israel saw another rise in Soviet anti-Semitism: by 1953, Stalin had started purging all Jews in the Soviet hierarchy who were also Zionists.

The Communists, quite correctly, saw Zionism as Jewish nationalism and contrary to the interests of an international socialist brotherhood. Many leading Russian Jews were also fervent Zionists: and it was this group that was then targeted for persecution, and who became famous throughout the rest of the lifetime of the Soviet Union as the victims of Soviet anti-Semitism.

Zionism, as an expression of Jewish separatism was declared a crime against the Soviet state, and Zionist organizations were forced to close down their operations inside the Soviet Union.

Last Days of the Romanovs by Robert Wilton   The Last Days of the Romanovs by Robert Wilton
Mr Wilton was a reporter for The Times, one of the world's oldest newspapers and in Russia at the time of the Revolution. He also took part in the investigation of the murder of the Tsar and his family at Yekaterinburg. His book gives the membership of various important Bolshevik committees and the their nationalities. In Russia one might expect them to be predominantly Russian. In fact they were largely Jewish. Being a political activist is not necessarily being evil but the Bolsheviks and their successors succeeded in killing between 85 and 100 million people worldwide. They made the Nazi efforts look quite modest.  More and better details are in The Black Book of Communism. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn confirms Mr Wilton's case. Spartacus School Net,  a left wing source gives us a hostile review. The Wikipedia, a propaganda source gives us nothing. It censored him.

 

The Lord of the Swastikas
Tells us about writers and writings from the 1920s which bear on the Bolsheviks and Jews of the Russian empire. Patricia Cockburn in her book, Figure Of Eight tells us that a lot of Englishmen viewed Adolf as holding back the communists. They were right. The Iron Curtain could have been at the French border or worse.

 

Mensheviks
The Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks were the same party. Then they split. Both had the potential for the evil that the Bolsheviks achieved.

Solzhenitsyn breaks last taboo of the revolution Nobel laureate under fire for new book on the role of Jews in Soviet-era repression [ 25 January 2003 ]
Jews hate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. It is that simple. He told the truth about them and he will never be forgiven. He will never shut up either. He has been there and seen what the KGB could do. They did it to him and didn't break him. The fact they were often Jews is something never to  forget. It won't stop them trying to hide this  though. That is why they control the media; to suppress the truth. An interview with the great man is at Solzhenitsyn on 200 Years Together ... and the Wiki isn't telling us about this one.
PS See 200 Years Together for more and better details.

 

The Black Book of Communism by Stephane Courtois
This is the butcher's bill of the Bolsheviks and their successors. They killed, tortured, raped, robbed and destroyed in Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba, South America, Africa, Eastern Europe and anywhere else they gained an entree.  Is this a case of a truth too big to see or will not see? Read for yourself. Think for yourself. Decide for yourself. The Wiki decided that they couldn't pretend that he didn't write this book so they state a bare minimum.

 

Three Whys of the Russian Revolution by Richard Pipes
Professor Pipes is not just another historian. He is an eminent historian who served on the National Security Council that advised Ronald Regan during the Cold War. There are plenty of thick books  which tell us at length about people with unfamiliar names and bury us in detail. Perhaps the truth is in there somewhere. This little book is different. It  is a summary of his view of modern Russian history and its context. He says that the Bolshevik Revolution probably caused the rise of the Nazi Party, the Second World War, decolonization and definitely caused the Cold War. These huge events make it worth understanding how and why it happened. He had reason to be interested because he was born in Poland just after the Russian Revolution. He says that it happened because of subversion by radical intellectuals. This is a part of the truth.  But you can read for yourself and decide whether you are better informed after. Robert Wilton tells us that most of the subversives  were Jews and he was there on the day. So does Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and he is part of Russia. It is interesting to see how many Jews are at the centre of subversive movements. Professor Pipes is just one such. See Richard Pipes. His son, one Daniel Pipes is a virulent anti-anti-Semite. The Wiki admits that he is a Jew but does not tell us that he is a propagandist.

 

Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution
Capitalist swine and communists are utterly at odds. It is obvious, isn't it? Yes but not true. When it comes to money and power they are happy to collude. It is the same in England. Ask Blair or just look at how he got so rich so fast.

 

Winter in Moscow by Malcolm Muggeridge
Malcolm Muggeridge was better known in his latter days as a commentator and television personality. As a much younger man he was a reporter in Moscow when Russia was ruled by Joseph Stalin. Mr. Muggeridge went out into the countryside and saw peasants being rounded up by the Red Army to be deported or murdered. When the Manchester Guardian got his report they were so pleased that they suppressed it. This book was never reprinted but your library may well have it in its reserve collection. A close up view of practical tyranny and the people who use it for their own advantage. The Wiki is surprisingly honest about this book but it is rather buried in other matters.

 

Zinoviev Letter
Zinoviev was one of the main Bolsheviks and a Jew like many others. In 1924 he wrote to the Communist Party in England to incite revolution. His letter was intercepted by MI5 and leaked to the press just before an election. It helped to get the Labour Party out of power. Something of the sort happened with The Zimmermann Telegram of January 1917. That got the Americans into the First World War which is more important than winning an election. The Wiki tells us what it wants us to know. The fact that he was a Jew is not part of that - see Zinoviev Letter

 

Stalin's Jews were Mass Murderers [ 27 December 2006 ]
QUOTE
Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.  

In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history.
UNQUOTE
A Jewish newspaper tells the truth. It does happen. Perhaps this means that they feel that they have gotten away with it. They could be right. Of course they only murdered 20 million Christians - or was it 30 million? They don't matter the way that 6 million Jews do. Let's not be cynical though. Lazar Kaganovich, Genrikh Yagoda and Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department all get named. So does The War of the World as a good source. Reichman helped cover up the Katyn Massacre

 

Robert Wilton told us that "According to data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik state, including the above-mentioned, in 1918-1919 there were: 17 Russians, two Ukrainians, eleven Armenians, 35 Letts [Latvians], 15 Germans, one Hungarian, ten Georgians, three Poles, three Finns, one Czech, one Karaim, and 457 Jews."

The Bolshevik Revolution And Capitalism

Executive Summary:
The rulers of the West and Soviet bloc are friends. We, the ruled are the enemy. It is rich versus poor. Oppression is fun for the oppressors.

Bolsheviks And Capitalists
The capitalist system in the West and the Soviets in Russia were enemies. We all know that. The Cold War was a central part of life for many years after the Second World War. At all events that is what we think. Defence establishments were raised on that basis. Armies were stationed on both sides of the Iron Curtain. I saw English Electric Lightnings bombed up and ready to go at RAF Gütersloh in Germany a long time ago. My battalion was committed to the Western Front and halting the barbarian hordes when they came forth from the East with a flaming sword. Secret services like MI6, the CIA and the KGB were spying on both sides. BRIXMIS was an important outfit at the time. It was ours. The Soviets had SOXMIS.

Newspapers, books and the main stream media generally were writing about us and them. It all seemed clear enough until Antony Sutton told us that the relations between both sides were a good deal more intimate than one might have thought. Capitalist swine had no compunction when it came to selling things like weapon systems to the Russians. Major bankers were financing the Bolsheviks. Important men in the West helped Trotsky, a known revolutionary get back to Russia to ply his trade.

In the alternative, Doctor Sutton was utterly wrong. He was a Brit who studied history in American universities and was decidedly unpopular. He was QUOTE persecuted but never prosecuted for his research and subsequent publication of his findings.  UNQUOTE ex Antony Sutton But Professor Pipes, of Harvard, an eminent historian on his own account is quoted as saying in his book, Survival Is Not Enough: Soviet Realities And America's Future

"In his three-volume detailed account of Soviet Purchases of Western Equipment and Technology ..." Sutton comes to conclusions that are uncomfortable for many businessmen and economists. For this reason his work tends to be either dismissed out of hand as 'extreme' or, more often, simply ignored." - see Antony Sutton

This is far from saying that he was wrong. In fact it is pretty much an admission that the good doctor was spot on. He quotes sources for his telling and that is always a good sign.

George Orwell was a socialist, a decent man and famous writer. His satire on communism and capitalism,  Animal Farm has its last scene with the farmer representing capital and the pigs standing in for communist leadership. The farm animals representing us, the victims who are unable to tell them apart. And then both sides cheat. Go to Animal Farm and search on 'spades' to find the scene. Orwell makes the point. Doctor Sutton gives us the evidence. His book is at Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution. Part of Chapter 1 is below.

Perhaps the right way to look at the world and politics was never Capitalism versus Communism or West versus East. It is more like Liberty versus Oppression. When the American government has secret prisons like Abu Ghraib and torture it is not clear that it is any better than the Soviet government and the KGB.

Here you can read for yourself, think for yourself and decide for yourself.

From Chapter 1 of Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution.


Chapter I

THE ACTORS ON THE REVOLUTIONARY STAGE


The frontispiece in this book was drawn by cartoonist Robert Minor in 1911 for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Minor was a talented artist and writer who doubled as a Bolshevik revolutionary, got himself arrested in Russia in 1915 for alleged subversion, and was later bank-rolled by prominent Wall Street financiers. Minor's cartoon portrays a bearded, beaming Karl Marx standing in Wall Street with Socialism tucked under his arm and accepting the congratulations of financial luminaries J.P. Morgan, Morgan partner George W. Perkins, a smug John D. Rockefeller, John D. Ryan of National City Bank, and Teddy Roosevelt — prominently identified by his famous teeth — in the background. Wall Street is decorated by Red flags. The cheering crowd and the airborne hats suggest that Karl Marx must have been a fairly popular sort of fellow in the New York financial district.

Was Robert Minor dreaming? On the contrary, we shall see that Minor was on firm ground in depicting an enthusiastic alliance of Wall Street and Marxist socialism. The characters in Minor's cartoon — Karl Marx (symbolizing the future revolutionaries Lenin and Trotsky), J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller — and indeed Robert Minor himself, are also prominent characters in this book.

The contradictions suggested by Minor's cartoon have been brushed under the rug of history because they do not fit the accepted conceptual spectrum of political left and political right. Bolsheviks are at the left end of the political spectrum and Wall Street financiers are at the right end; therefore, we implicitly reason, the two groups have nothing in common and any alliance between the two is absurd. Factors contrary to this neat conceptual arrangement are usually rejected as bizarre observations or unfortunate errors. Modern history possesses such a built-in duality and certainly if too many uncomfortable facts have been rejected and brushed under the rug, it is an inaccurate history.

On the other hand, it may be observed that both the extreme right and the extreme left of the conventional political spectrum are absolutely collectivist. The national socialist (for example, the fascist) and the international socialist (for example, the Communist) both recommend totalitarian politico-economic systems based on naked, unfettered political power and individual coercion. Both systems require monopoly control of society. While monopoly control of industries was once the objective of J. P. Morgan and J. D. Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood that the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to "go political" and make society go to work for the monopolists — under the name of the public good and the public interest. This strategy was detailed by Frederic C Howe in The confessions of a monopolist. Howe, by the way, is also a figure in the story of the Bolshevik Revolution.

Therefore, an alternative conceptual packaging of political ideas and politico-economic systems would be that of ranking the degree of individual freedom versus the degree of centralized political control. Under such an ordering the corporate welfare state and socialism are at the same end of the spectrum. Hence we see that attempts at monopoly control of society can have different labels while owning common features.

Consequently, one barrier to mature understanding of recent history is the notion that all capitalists are the bitter and unswerving enemies of all Marxists and socialists. This erroneous idea originated with Karl Marx and was undoubtedly useful to his purposes. In fact, the idea is nonsense. There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolutionary socialists — to their mutual benefit. This alliance has gone unobserved largely because historians — with a few notable exceptions — have an unconscious Marxian bias and are thus locked into the impossibility of any such alliance existing. The open-minded reader should bear two clues in mind: monopoly capitalists are the bitter enemies of laissez-faire entrepreneurs; and, given the weaknesses of socialist central planning, the totalitarian socialist state is a perfect captive market for monopoly capitalists, if an alliance can be made with the socialist powerbrokers. Suppose — and it is only hypothesis at this point — that American monopoly capitalists were able to reduce a planned socialist Russia to the status of a captive technical colony? Would not this be the logical twentieth-century internationalist extension of the Morgan railroad monopolies and the Rockefeller petroleum trust of the late nineteenth century?
