Badlands Book Club: The Creature From Jekyll Island - Chapter 14

Badlands Media

About this episode

CannCon and Ashe in America press into Chapter 14 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, titled The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, and the story gets darker fast. This week covers the actual coup that brought the Bolshevik minority to power in Russia, the New York financiers hiding behind Red Cross credentials, and the gap between the official humanitarian story and what really happened. The hosts unpack the two separate revolutions of 1917, why Lenin and Trotsky were not even in Russia when the first one occurred, and how a well funded minority faction ended up controlling an entire nation almost overnight. They also open the door into a side trip through World War II and the financing of both sides of that conflict, though the chapter is not finished this week. Expect uncomfortable parallels to modern events and plenty of genuine disbelief from the hosts.

The badlands, you want to get the badlands explained those badlands? That's a hell of a name. All right, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Badlands Book Club. Welcome to the Bad Mood Hour, where we are learning about how everything about our existence is fake, knowingly fake. They know it's fake. They're just profiting off it so they keep it fake. But Ash, you silly goose, this is just part of the problem. I was listening to John and the Daily Herald talk about the $5,000 dividends, and my position on the dividends is based on them being dividends. It's based on them not being taken from taxation, but from tear-up revenue. Can I verify and know that that's happening now, but my position on it is based on that. And he started talking about, we have $43 in debt, we can't afford this, we have just my paid on the debt, and I'm going, debt's not real, bro. That's

none of it's real. None of our current financial system, the global financial system is a scam. It is a system like our elections that is designed to defraud under the color of legitimacy. And so, no, I don't think we have to pay down the debt. I think that as we transition to a golden age infrastructure, golden age system, whatever that looks like, I don't think the debt is going to be super relevant, but I think it's going to end up being a Gart panel, so that'll be fun. Also, buy your Gart tickets by the insubi.tv slash events. We'll be in Vegas next week. It's going to be super fun. Okay. I'm with you. That was my take right there. If it's dividends, I mean, is it the best allocation of our money? Is it the best use? Maybe, maybe not. You can make the argument either way. I'm not totally opposed to it, but I'm also not totally for it. I mean, I'll tell you why I'm for it. I like the precedent. I like the precedent of Americans getting a

return on investment, right, from the funding, not only of our nation, but of the world. Americans have been funding the world. They've been funding the R&D, the innovation, technology, pharma, all of these things for the world. And the elites who design these solutions have been getting the returns on investment, inverting that, giving it back to the people I like. That's not taxation, right? I mean, it could be argued it's tax, it's a form of tax on corporations, right? But in terms of the individual, it's not income taxation for the individual that's being redistributed and I'm for it. I like the precedent of the Americans getting a return on investment. There's a lot of talk about UBI in the context of the technology transformation, right? AI is replacing jobs. There's going to need to be UBI or as Elon talks about UBW, universal basic wealth, the only way that that can happen in which I would support it and even be willing to have the conversation is if we're talking about it as returns on investments, not as

taking from some individual Americans and giving to other individual Americans. And I think that's what President Trump is talking about. I think that's what Scott Messin is talking about. And so see what happens. The interesting thing about that whole concept of giving dividends for tariffs, that, you know, for what we, what we either import or export is that it's not socialized, like it's not socialism, like we had the debate this morning, kind of a debate I was trying to move on. You and Alphan Thursday mornings is quickly becoming one of my favorite rage hours. Well, I mean, I don't think you're raging at me. I think we align pretty well on this. Oh, no, I'm totally on your side when we're talking about Alphan. Yeah, I mean, anybody with actual principles that they stand by, and it's very difficult for me to have those conversations. And not some, like I understand Alphan's opinions, I understand them. My problem is, I understand them. I don't at all agree with them.

Well, sorry, which opinions because they are inconsistent. This will definitely be hashed out at Gart. We're not going to do it here. Both on the stage and in the behind the scene interaction I have with Alphan at Gartner's week. Poor guy is going to be ducking that ash everywhere he goes, like looking, is that sure on the corner waiting to to bounce on me about? He has jumped the shark recently. He has there is there is there is no line. He won't cross. And that's that's very dangerous in my opinion. But it's it's kind of like what he's doing is kind of like the social socialism that I spoke of in Venezuela. It's the government making a resource. In this case, selling the resource, whereas here it's it's importing the resource. So we're kind of the opposite of of Venezuela in the sense that Venezuela is sitting on 300 billion gallons or 300 billion barrels of oil. And that is a hot

commodity. They're the largest they have the largest reserves in the world. And they only have 28 million people as opposed to us with 330 million. So they're able to sell that oil and use that as their social incentive. Like they're able to incentivize the people with the resources from their country that are being extracted. Here's the opposite. We have become a consumer-based economy. And as the country is making tariffs, which they call them taxes on the people, it's absurd. It's taxes on corporations that decide to take loopholes and import cheap labor and cheap goods into the US and therefore pay for it. It's incentivizing us in almost like the reverse of what Venezuela does. But it is a form. I didn't think of this until just now. It is a form of socialism. But it's it's it's yeah, it is. It absolutely is. Anytime you anytime you are taking the wealth from others and you're taking the wealth from the people you're taking it from in a sovereign well fund. Who are you taking it from? You're taking it from the corporations that are paying these tariffs and you're taking those tariffs that government is taking them and distributing them

to the people. Now again, I don't think that that's a bad thing because it's not it's not being extracted from the people. It's not like the wealth that we were talking. Hold on hold on. Last point, it's not like the the mom subsidy thing that we were talking about yesterday and today where you're extracting taxes from American citizens and then redistributing it to other American citizens. That's a system that will never be able to work. So and I'll land that there. So a dividend is not redistribution. No, no, no, it's not. It's not. It's treating the American people as shareholders in the nation, which is what the Saudis do with their sovereign well fund. The Saudi people are shareholders in the wealth of the nation. The nation exists off the backs of the people, right? And the people and their their investments, they should see some benefit from them. It is it is not socialism in that it is a it is a it's it's not you're not redistributing. You are

it's not redistribution. Right. You're just this commotion. Right distribution. It's not the distribution. But I think I think where this is getting caught up and I think some of what John was talking about falls into this trap as well is looking at the end state action, the giving money to Americans, right? That's the part that is being looked at as the key and that's the part that's being debated. And we're debating that on a number of different fronts right now. We're debating it on in this tear of 5,000 dividend thing. But we're also debating it in the $9,000 for a family thing. People are treating those as the same. John on his show today asked me in the chat, how is it different? The difference is not at the end state action. It's at the underlying structural premise for how the end state action is happening. So it is not taxing from rich people and giving it to everyone or giving it to less rich people or whatever. It is building a system that you have passive wealth and income for the nation and treating the American people as shareholders

if they were a bride and taking this wealth, the wealth generated from tariffs. And again, assumption that the tariff revenue is real. And I can't verify that. I don't know. But based on the assumption that the tariff revenue is real, if they were taking that revenue and giving free health care for all or taking that revenue and building more government schools or free college education or whatever, they were doing those things as a centralized government system with that wealth. That would be socialism. Giving the American people a disbursement as a return on their investment is not socialism. Again, fair enough, the redistribution as opposed to distribution was probably a lot. It is not redistribution. The $9,000. I'm agreeing with you that it redistribution. I was just broadly talking about it. But the $9,000 thing is redistribution. I'm not arguing with you. I'm just clarifying that these things are all being debated in the public sphere as the same thing.

Because people are focused on the end state of giving money to Americans bad socialism. But the underlying structural change is really important in this case. And that's what people should be discussing. And everybody keeps asking if this is going to be counted as income. And if it's going to be taxed, my opinion is the IRS needs to go the fuck away. I agree with that. But it will be because dividends are, I believe dividends are taxed as a return on investment for stock investments. It will most likely be taxed. So, all right. So again, we are going to dive in. We're going to play one more sponsor here real quick. We are covering, I see a John just read us over here or just rage all over here. So we are covering a creature from Jack O'Learn. We are on chapter 14 today. If you're new here, welcome. I cannot stress enough. I had to be mad by the end of the hour. You will. But at the same time, I had a conversation with my brother about how important this might be one of the most important books written in America, in American history. This might be one of the most

important books ever written. And also, if you want to have an argument about the deep state and you haven't read this book, you are ill prepared to have an argument about any sort of deep state control. You know, that's, I keep trying to emphasize that point. Like, you know, whenever I get into these arguments and people just fundamentally do not understand that the foundation of all the corruption in our country and contemporary American history ties back to the Federal Reserve. Every single thing, every single thing ties back to the Federal Reserve and the creation of the Federal Reserve and the entities that that created the Federal Reserve. So on that note, let's, I got to go grab water. So let's take a quick break and sure. And then I was going to do soft disclosure because it's a minute and a half. I got to grab water. Okay, go ahead and do soft disclosure. We can do collagen after. Sounds good. Court is now in session. Your Honor, the defense calls Mr. Dry Skin G-Money to the stand.

We're going to pretend I didn't hear that. Mr. Dry Skin, isn't it true that soft disclosure is proudly made right here in the United States while directly supporting six American small businesses? I reckon. Isn't it also true that soft disclosure is made with honest natural ingredients without the harsh chemicals so many people are trying to avoid? Unfortunately. And isn't it true? It's made with the help of adorable baby goats. Can't argue with the goats. The court reminds the gallery that livestock will conduct themselves appropriately. Bless you are flaky little heart, Mr. Dry Skin. Your Honor, the defense would like to submit exhibit A. Proceed. Cindy H. writes, honestly the best solution I've ever used. Exhibit A is admitted. Exhibit B. I use it on my face and hands, get compliments on looking much younger. Mr. Drank, I appreciate your own fusions. Not greasy at all. Clean feel compared to other lotions. Vanilla citrus has a nice light scent. Well, that is just showing off. Tyrone writes, I find myself hydrating my elbows and moisturizing my soul

a lot more frequently now. The defense rests. Soft disclosure dot com. Use promo code justice to save. Also make sure that you're signed up for the insider access club.

I reckon she looks. And I do as well. I think he is representative of dry skin. Right? Like he is dry skin and he's on trial.

Trying to figure out what the legal question in this case has been. Has been. He's from California, so the dry skin would work there. But he's at the end when he's like, I say, I say order in this court. Yeah, that's that's the thing. That's the big chicken from Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I was trying. I was like, what's his name? He has like the weirdest name. And I couldn't remember it. So there we go. Okay. Then actually, you know what? Let's let's talk now about this show being brought to you by native path ash. Take it away. This episode is brought to you by native path grass fed collagen for better bones, joints, skin, hair and nails. Have you ever had one of those mornings where it takes a few minutes to feel like yourself again stiff, a little creaky, moving slower than you'd like. A lot of that is collagen loss and it speeds up dramatically after age 50. Today's sponsor has a solution that's as simple as stirring a scoop into your morning coffee, which I do every single morning. Me too. After 30, our bodies produce one to two percent less

collagen every year. That's the protein that keeps our bones dense, joints cushioned and skin firm. By 60, most people have lost half their collagen. And it's nearly impossible to get it back through diet alone because it lives in the parts of the animals that we don't eat. The bones, the cartilage, the tendons, native path grass fed collagen is a clean grass fed type one and three collagen that dissolves completely in water in coffee or water, no taste, no clumping. Thousands of customers report less joint pain, stronger nails, younger looking skin, better sleep, and even improved bone density scans. Now I haven't had a bone density scan. Honestly, that sounds made up to me, but I have experienced the stronger nails, the less joint pain, the better hair and skin, better sleep. I also think that there's like a weight loss boost. And this is not an FDA approved comment. It's just my personal anecdotal experience. But

the native path collagen, I have tried a number of different collagen products on the market. I always come back to this one because it is just different. It is in a category of its own. And the stirring in with no clumping thing is real. And it's a real feature of this product, because a lot of them do clump and you know have and it's collagen is very sticky, right? Like as soon as you get it wet, it's like stuck on everything. Native path is just in a category of its own. I absolutely love it. And honestly, as I am not 50 yet, but I'm getting closer every single day. And I feel like I can't live without native path collagen now.

I've been using native path collagen for over a year and I cannot imagine asking for my money back. I will ask for more collagen

every single month. Oh, because that's amazing. All right. So the creature from Jekyll Island, we are on chapter 14. What's been your favorite chapter so far? Probably, I don't know if it was the whole chapter or just the section, but the Mandrake mechanism really broke down the mechanics. So that was really helpful. But part one and part two are different. Part one was a lot of background and kind of definition of term and history in the context of the setup. And then we're in part two looking at execution phase, which is much more interesting. Regardless, it's all in raging. And by favorite, you mean what's the part of the book that is making those raging yet, right? That's what you're asking. Yeah, the Lucitania chapter I've talked the most about since reading it. But the name of the game is bailout is probably my favorite because it's foundation for all the Mandrake mechanism as well. The whole book is fantastic. And again, don't have an argument with me about the deep state if

you haven't read this book because you are coming from a position of weakness and markets or the, you know, loans and Fanny and Freddie and student loans and all of these things. If you're arguing from a headline standpoint about any financial discussion happening in the United States of America and you haven't read this book, you are losing that argument. Amen. All right, chapter 14, the best enemy money can buy the Kuditalan Russia in which the Bolshevik minority seized control from the revolutionary majority, the role played in New York, financiers, masquerading as Red Cross officials in supporting the Bolsheviks, the unbroken record since then of American assistance in building Russia's war-making potential, the emergence of a credible enemy in an accordance with the Rosshield formula. In the previous section, we saw the Red Cross mission in revolutionary Russia was in the words of its own personnel, quote, nothing but a mask. This leads to the logical question, what were the true motives and

goals that were hidden behind that mask? In later years, it would be explained by the participants themselves that they simply were engaged in humanitarian effort to keep Russia in the war against Germany and thus to help the cause of freedom for England and her allies. For Jacob Schiff and other Jewish financiers in New York, there was the additional explanation that they opposed the czar because of his anti-Semitism. These, of course, are admirable motives and they have been uncritically accepted by mainstream historians ever since. Unfortunately, the official explanations do not square with the facts. You say it's not just praising anti-Semitism? Apparently not. There's nothing new under the sun. Russia's two revolutions. The facts are that there were two revolutions in Russia that year, not one. The first called the February Revolution resulted in the establishment of a professional socialist government under the leadership of Alexander Kurenski. It was relatively moderate in its policies and attempted to accommodate all revolutionary

factions, including the Bolsheviks, who were the smallest minority. When the February Revolution occurred, Lenin and Trotsky were not even in Russia. Lenin was in Switzerland and didn't arrive until April. Trotsky was still in New York writing propaganda and giving speeches. The second revolution, called the October Revolution, was the one through which the Bolsheviks came to power. It was, in fact, no revolution at all. It was a coup d'état. The Bolsheviks simply took advantage of the confusion and indecisiveness that existed among the various groups that compromised the new government and caught them by surprise with a lightning strike of force. With a combination of bribes and propaganda, they recruited several regiments of soldiers and sailors and, in the early morning darkness of October 25th, methodically took military possession of all government buildings and communication centers. No one was prepared for such audacity and resistance was almost non-existent. By dawn, you can see this happened again, right?

By dawn, with that, I mean it did in November 3rd, 2020. By dawn, without the Russian people even knowing what had happened, much less having any voice in that action, their country had been captured by a minority faction and became the world's first so-called peoples republic. Within two days, Karensky had fled for his life and all provisional government ministers had been arrested. That is how the communist sees Russia, and that is how they held it afterwards. Contrary to the Marxian myth, they have never represented the people. They simply had the guns. The basic fact of this so-called revolution are described by Professor Leonard Shapiro in his authoritative work, The Russian Revolutions of 1917. All the evidence suggests that when the crisis came, the great majority of units of the Petrograd garrison did not support the government, but simply remain neutral. The Kossak units rejected its call for support, leaving the government with only a few hundred

women's soldiers around 2,000 military cadets on its side. The Bolsheviks, on the other hand, could count on several regiments to carry out their orders. Units of the Baltic fleet also supported them. In the event, the Bolshevik takeover was almost bloodless, in contrast with what happened in February, nothing could have been less like a city in the throes of a revolution than Petrograd on 25 October. Crowds of well-dressed people throng the streets in the evening. Theaters and restaurants were open and at the opera, shall, shall leap in, shall Iepen? Somebody in the channel knows how that's pronounced, saying in Boris Gadunov. And I kind of need to know who that opera singer is now. Now listen to that up to show. The principal stations and services had all been taken over by the morning of 25 October without a shot being fired. A battleship and several cruisers, including the Aurora, had reached Petrograd from Kronstadt and were anchored with

their guns trained on targets in the city. The provisional government inside the winter palace received an ultimatum calling for surrender of its members under threat of bombardment of the palace by Aurora and by the guns of the Peter and Paul Fortress. It was only 9.40 pm that the Aurora was ordered to fire and discharge one blank shell. The main effect of this was to accelerate the thinning out of the cadet defenders of the palace who had already begun to dwindle. The women soldiers who had formed part of its defense force also left before the palace was invaded. At 11 pm some live shells were fired and the palace was slightly damaged. The story of the dramatic storming of winter palace popular with Soviet historians and in the cinema is a myth. Around 2 am on 26 October a small detachment of troops followed by an unruly crowd led by two members of the MRC, Military Revolutionary Committee, entered the palace. The remaining officer cadets were apparently prepared to resist but were ordered to surrender by the ministers.

In the end the total casualties were three officer cadets wounded. Popular support was not necessary. Eugene Lions had been corresponded for United Press and Revolutionary Russia. He began his career as highly sympathetic to the Bolsheviks and their new regime but six years of actual living inside the new socialist utopia shattered his illusions. In his acclaimed book Workers Paradise Lost he summarizes the true meaning of the October Revolution quote Lenin, Trotsky and other cohorts did not overthrow the monarchy. They overthrew the first democratic society in Russian history set up through a truly popular revolution in March 1917. They represented the smallest of the Russian radical movements but theirs was a movement that scoffed at numbers and frankly mistrusted the multitudes. The workers could be educated for their role after the revolution. They would not be led but driven to their terrestrial heaven. Lenin always sneered at the obsession of competing socialist groups

with their mass base. Given given us an organization of professional revolutionaries he said to he used to say and we will turn Russia upside down. That is eerily. Does yours end there? No, that's eerily relevant. I'm sorry I was putting words together. Even these contingents were pathetically duped having not the remotest notion of the real purpose for which they were being used. They were striking out they thought for the multi-party Soviets for freedom equality and other goals which their organizers regarded as emotional garbage. On the brink of the dictatorship Lenin dared to promise that the state will fade away since quote all need of force will vanish. Not at some remote future but at once quote the proletarian state begins to weather immediately after triumph for in a classless society a state is unnecessary and impossible. Soviet powers a new kind of state in which there is no bureaucracy no police no

standing army. And quote also quote so long as the state exists there's no freedom within when there is no when there is freedom there will be no state. Within a few months after they attained most of the tsar's practices that the Leninites Leninists had condemned or revived. Usually in more ominous forms political prisoners convictions without trial and without formality of charges savage persecution of dissenting views death penalties for more varieties of crime than in any other modern nation the rest were put into effect in the following years including the suppression of all other parties restoration of internal passport a statement opley of the press along with representative repressive practices that the monarchy had outlived four century or more. That's the end of that passage. All of this of course is a departure from the main narrative but it has been necessary to illustrate a fact that has been obscured by the passage of time and acceptance of myth by mainstream historians. The fact is that Lenin and Trotsky

were not sent to Russia to overthrow the anti-Semitic tsar their assignment from Wall Street was to overthrow the revolution. Amazing isn't it? That created a vacuum. World War II excuse me World War I created a vacuum in Russia and left it completely vulnerable to somebody like the Trotsky in the Leninist Trotskyites. Did you just I was just going to say that that their assignment from Wall Street was to overthrow the revolution that's what we speculate at least I don't want to put words in your mouth but I speculate any anytime and you know it's based on my own personal experience and watching the experience of others as you know a lot of these things have publicly happened over the past six years. It is the anytime the people start to get organized start to get motivated for change start to push in their local communities and in their states and to an extent at the federal but really I'm you know talking

more local and state as they start to get organized for change you get this infiltration right that comes in its name in the name of the change and and is actually intent on disrupting creating chaos division keeping people on their heels fighting each other in their movement instead of you know pursuing the change that they organize you once you see it you can't unsee it. There was a video that somebody had posted on an access site yesterday a guy named Kenny Webster and he was out like doing a man on the street type interview or whatever and he came across one of these communists like protests and he starts asking this woman like like you want to debate me on communism versus you know I hate saying capitalism but you know free enterprise do you want to debate me on that and you know they got back into it and she says she volunteers this other guy that's like she's the leader he'll debate you on it and so the guy comes comes over and he keeps asking

what is communism ever given society and his example that he cites is the Bolshevik revolution like he's bragging about this and like do you not realize what the Bolshevik revolution actually was you know and I don't think these people do I think they well we see the same we see the same thing with the you know kind of lionizing of mal yeah and people talk about mal's youth movements as a beautiful thing I think we're seeing a rerun of that happening certainly here in my state but they just ignore what happened to those kids you know and they focus on literacy well yeah I mean they they did teach everybody to read a new simplified version of Mandarin and then had them read brainwashing propaganda I don't know if we're getting the kids today have pictures of them on their walls I don't know yeah exactly I don't know if we'll get into it in this book or not but you know Mao is another one that was propped up by American society by American it's got to be

in here so the 1960s oh okay then probably we'll get to it so I won't comment on it. We're just about there yet I don't think all right you're turned good notes from Lincoln Stephens diary that this was the prevailing motive of the New York money powers was clearly brought to light in the diary of Lincoln Stephens one of America's best known leftist writers of that time Stephens was on board with the SS Christiana Fjord when Trotsky was taken off and arrested and Halifax he carefully wrote down the conversations he had with the other passengers who were headed to strife torn torn Russia one of these was Charles Crane vice president of the Crane company Crane was a backer of Woodrow Woodrow Wilson arguably the worst president in American history and former chairman of the Democrat Party's finance committee he also had organized the Westinghouse company in Russia and made no fewer than 23 prior visits his son Richard Crane was the confidential assistant to

then secretary of state Robert Lansing it is instructive therefore to read Stephens notes regarding the views of these traveling companions he wrote quote all agree that the revolution is in its first phase only that it must grow Crane and the Russian radicals on the ship think we shall be in Petrograd for the re revolution precisely re revolution was the expectation and the goal not the elimination of anti-Semitism with regard to Thomson's claim that he was merely trying to keep Russia in the war against Germany here again the logic of actual events speak against it Karenski and the provisional government were for the war effort they were for the war effort there's emphasis on that work yet the Red Cross masqueraders eventually through their strongest support to Bolsheviks who were against it their excuse was that it was obvious the Bolsheviks would soon control the new government and they were merely looking to the future they did not like the Bolsheviks

but had to deal with them pragmatically so they became staunch supporters merely to gain influence with the inevitable victors and hopefully to persuade them to change their position on the war alas it didn't work out that way influence they had as we have seen but the Bolsheviks never wavered in their views after season control in the October coup d'etat they did exactly what they claimed all along they would do they signed a peace treaty with Germany and confiscated private property they also began one of the world's greatest bloodbaths to eliminate their opposition none of this could be blamed on the masqueraders you understand it was the fault of Wilson and the other politicians at home who by not following Thomson's recommendation to send US tax dollars to the Bolsheviks forced them into such drastic action that at least is the accepted view that is mafia that is a description of a mafia in reality a Bolshevik victory at that time was anything but

certain and there was little reason beyond the support given by the new york financeers themselves to believe they would become dominant the dominant voice of Russia but even if we grant the assumption that these men were unusually astute political observers who were truly able to foresee the future course we are still faced with the serious obstacles not the least of which are the thoughts and words of the masqueraders themselves for example in February of 1918 Arthur Bullard was in Russia as head of the Russian branch of the branch of the committee on public information which was the war propaganda arm of the US government Bullard was aptly described by historian George Kenan as a quote liberal socialist freelance writer and private eye of Colonel House in his official capacity had many occasions to consult with Raymond Robbins and in a report describing one of these conversations Bullard wrote quote he Robbins had one or two reservations in particular

that recognition of the Bolsheviks was long overdue that it should have been effective immediately and that had the US so recognized the Bolsheviks quote I believe that we would now be in control of the surplus resources of Russia and have control officers at all points on the frontier wolves behind why do you make me be too wolves behind the mask the following year the US senate conducted an investigation into the role played by prominent American citizens in supporting the Bolsheviks rise to power one of the documents entered into the record was an early communique communique from Robbins to Bruce Lockhart in it Robbins said quote you will hear it said that I am an agent of Wall Street that I am the servant of William B Thompson to get Al Tye Cooper for him that I have already gone that excuse me that I have already got 500,000 acres of the best timber land in Russia for myself that I have already copped off the Transyberian railway that they have

given me a monthly monopoly of the platinum in Russia that this explains my working for the Soviet you will hear that talk now I do not think it's true commissioner but let me let us assume that it is true let us assume that I am here to capture Russia for Wall Street and American businessman let us assume that you are a British wolf and I am an American wolf and that when this war is over we are going to eat each other up for the Russian market let us do so in perfectly frank man fashion but let us assume at the same time that we are fairly intelligent wolves and that we know that we do not hunt together in this hour the German wolf will eat us both up professor sudden has placed all this into perspective in the following passage he is speaking specifically about William Thompson but his remarks apply with equal force to Robbins and all other financiers who were part of the Red Cross mission in Russia quote Thompson's motives were primarily financial and commercial specifically Thompson was interested in the Russian market and how this market could be influenced

I've heard it and captured for post war exploitation by a Wall Street syndicate or syndicates certainly Thompson viewed Germany as an enemy but less a political enemy than an economic or commercial enemy German industry and German banking were the real enemy to outwit Germany Thompson was willing to play seed money on any political power vehicle that would achieve his objective in other words Thompson was an American imperialist fighting against German imperialism and this struggle was a shrew was truly recognized and exploited by Lenin and Trotsky Thompson was not a Bolshevik he was not even pro Bolshevik neither was he pro Kyrinsky nor was he even pro American the overriding motivation was the capturing of the post war Russian market this was a commercial objective ideology could sway revolutionary operators like Kyrinsky Trotsky Lenin at all but not financiers did the wolves of the round table actually succeed in their goal did they in fact capture the surplus resources of Russia the answer to that question

will not be found in our history books it must be tracked down along the trail of subsequent events and what we must look for is this if the plan had not been successful we would expect to find a decline of interest on the part of high finance if not outright hostility on the other hand if it did succeed we would expect to see not only continued support but some evidence of profit taking by the investors a payback for their efforts and their risk with those footprints as our guide let us turn now to overview to an overview of what was actually what has actually happened since the Bolsheviks were assisted to power by the round table network you want to read those i don't know if it's a new yeah i just you know it's it's so interesting raiment robins was the head of the american red cross mission right like we need to we need to go help these war torn areas and bring relief and supplies and aid and you know you aid from the us

you are you know the american american aid and he is having conversations with these military leaders and and corporate leaders about controlling all of the resources in Russia so just apply to all american aid endeavors item after the october revolution all the banks in Russia were taken over and nationalized by the Bolsheviks except one the petro grab branch of rock afellers national city bank item heavy interest in russia was also national what heavy industry what did i say interest oh industry yeah it is industry heavy industry in russia was also nationalized except the westinghouse plant which had been established by charles crane one of the dignitaries aboard the ss christiana fjord who had traveled to russia with trotsky to witness the re revolution item in 1922 the Soviets formed their first international bank it was not owned and run by the state

as would be dictated by communist theory but was put together by a syndicate of private bankers these included not only former tsaris bankers but representatives of germans shwitish and american most of the foreign capital came from england including the british government itself the man appointed as director of the foreign division of the new bank was max may vice president of morgan's guarantee trust company in new york item in the years that in in the years immediately following the october revolution there is a steady stream of large and lucrative read non competitive contracts issued by soviet's to british and american businesses which were directly or indirectly run by the round table network that still happens today these large the largest of these for example was a contract for 50 million pounds of food products to morris and company chicago meet packers and when morris was married to helan swift whose brother was herald swift herald swift had been a major

at the red cross mission in russia item and payment for these contracts and to return the the loans and scare quotes of the finance years the bullshavix all but drained their country of its gold which included the tsaris government sizeable reserve and shipped it to primarily to american and british banks in 1920 alone one shipment came to the us through stock home valued at 39 million swedish crowner three shipments came directly involve direct involving five hundred forty boxes of gold valued at ninety seven million two hundred thousand gold rubles plus at least one other direct shipment bringing the total to about twenty million remember these are nineteen twenty values wow the arrival of those shipments was coordinated by jacob shifts coon low low-bun company and deposited by morgan's guarantee trust kuditon deed item it was about this time that the wilson administration sent seven hundred thousand

tons of food to the soviet union which not only saved the regime from certain collapse but gave lennon the power to consolidate his control over all of russia the us food administration which handled this giant operation was handsomely handsomely profitable for those commercial enterprises enterprises that participated it was headed by her herbert herbert hoover and directed by lewis lictonstein strouse married to alas hannauer daughter of one of the partners of coon low-bun company item us british and german wolves soon found a bananza of profit in selling to the new soviet regime standard oil and general electric supply thirty seven million worth of machinery from nineteen twenty one to nineteen twenty five and that was just the beginning junkers aircraft in germany little little literally created soviet air power at least three million slave laborers perished in the icy mines of Siberia digging or for britans lena goldfields

limited w averal harryman a railroad magnet and banker from the united states who later was to become ambassador to russia acquired a twenty-year monopoly over all soviet manganese production arman hammer close personal friend of lennon made one of the world's greatest fortunes by mining russian as bestos is is that is that where arman hammer gets their name from arman hammer i don't know what that up i think we're arman hammer like arman hammer cleaning supplies right that's no uh baking soda mostly right yeah arman hammer yeah there man from arman hammer no it's a persistent myth but the timeline rules it out arman hammer predates it goes back to the

eighteen sixties predates him okay he was born until nineteen ninety eight tragic what we got me i mean what a cool name i guess arman hammer all right additional background the death meat by men in those early years the bolsheviks were desperate for good services and capital investment they knew that they would be gouged by their capitalist associates but what of it it wasn't their money all they cared about was staying in power and that was not easy as it may have seemed even after the coup d'etat in which they seized control of the mechanisms of government they still did not control the count country at large in fact in nineteen nineteen lennon had almost given up hope of expanding beyond petrograd and a part of mass muskow except for Odessa all of southern russia and the kramia were in the hands of general denikin who was strongly anti-communist speaking before the tenth congress of the russian commons party lennon laid it out plainly quote without the assistance of capital it'll be impossible for us to retain proletarian power in an incredibly ruined country in which the peasantry also ruined constitutes the overwhelming majority

and of course for this assistance capital will squeeze hundreds percent out of us this is what we have to understand hence either this type of economic relation or nothing on another occasion lennon further explained his rationale for accepting wall streets terms staying quote the capital of the world and their governments and pursue the conquest of the Soviet market will close their eyes to the indicated higher reality uh and thus will turn into death mute blind men they will extend credits they will which will strengthen for they will extend credits which will strengthen for us the communist party in their countries and given us giving us the materials and technology that we lack they will restore our military industry indispensable from our future victorious attack on our suppliers in other words they will labor for the preparation of their own suicide are ther bolder mentioned previously as the representative in russia of the us committee on public information apparently understood the

Bolshevik strategy well even as early as march of 1918 he sent a cable gram to washington warning that while it is true we ought to be ready to help any honest government in need nevertheless he said quote men or money sent to the present rulers of russia will be used against russians at least as much as against germans a strongly advise against giving material help to the present russian government sinister elements of soviets seem to be gaining control unfortunately mr. bulldozer minority player in this game and his opinion was filtered by others along the way this cable gram was sent to a superior none other than kernel Edward Mandel house in hopes that it would be relayed to the president but the message did not get through shocking right i think this is probably the last section that we're going to have time for uh we're definitely not going to get through this chapter but this chapter um is the end of section two or section three are we in section three yeah section four will be next which will be after guard week because i think we're

going to record so the rest of this chapter will be next week a side trip through world war two returning to the trail of actual events since that time let us pause briefly to take a short side trip through world war two financing and profiting from both sides in a conflict has never been more blatant item from the beginning of hitlers rise to power german industry was heavily financed by american and british bankers most of the largest us corporations were knowingly invested in war industries i g far bin was the largest of the industrial cartels and was a primary source of political funding for hitler it was far bin that staffed and directed hitlers intelligence section and ran the nazi slave labor camps as a supplemental source of manpower for germany's factories far bin even hired the new york public relations firm iv lee who was john de rock afellers pr specialist to help improve hitlers public image in america lee incidentally had

also been used to sell help sell the soviet regime to the american people in the late 1920s item much of the capital for the expansion of i g far bin came from wall street primarily rock afellers national city bank dilland reading company also a rock afeller firm morgan's equitable trust company hair is forbs in company and yes the predominantly jewish firm of koon lobe and company wow item during the allied bombing raids over germany the factories and administrative buildings of i g far bin were spared the u s war department which determined bombing priorities was liberally staffed with men who in civilian life had been associates of the investment firms previously mentioned for example under secretary of war at that time was robber p paterson james forestall was secretary of the navy and later became secretary of

defense both men had come from dilland road and in fact forestall had been president of that firm item during world war two under the lend lease program the united states sent to the soviets more than eleven billion in aid including fourteen thousand aircraft nearly half a million tanks and other military vehicles more than four hundred combat ships and even half of the entire u s supply of uranium which then was critically needed for the development of the atomic bomb but fully one third of all the lend lease shipments during this period compromised industrial equipment and supplies to be used for the development of the russian economy after the war and when the war did end the lend lease program continued to flow into the soviet union for over a year as late as the end of nineteen forty six russia was still receiving twenty year credit terms at two eights percent interest a far lower rate than returning g i's could obtain

so we were funding both sides this is what night from nineteen twenty one to nineteen twenty five i think they said around that time so the um so united states sent half the u s supply of uranium right before the cold war nuclear standoff happened um hold on does it say that half of the entire u s supply of uranium which was then critically needed for the development of the atomic bomb the u s sent to the soviets it does say during world war two so it had to be in the 1940s it's the first thing after item during world war two under the lend lease program the u s sent to soviet's more than eleven billion and eight fourteen thousand aircraft half a million

tanks and other vehicles four hundred combat ships and even half of the entire u s supply of uranium i wonder how how widely known it was at that time forty one to forty five was lend lease yeah so i wonder if this was pre your post little man fat boy or fat man little boy whatever it was when was that was what what what year did the man had project tests take place oh i would imagine that was in forty four that it was in the late thirties what year did looking it up and me too nineteen forty five was the Trinity test the world's first nuclear detonation was July 16th 1945 42 to 46 so Einstein's letter to Roosevelt drafted with Leo slizzard warns of possibly possibility of a German atomic bomb prompting early u s government interest

in the technology that's nineteen thirty thirty nine oh nineteen forty two uh formally established Manhattan engineer district giving the project project its name nineteen forty two general put in charge of all the Trinity test nineteen forty five uh atomic bombs hero shima and naga sake are nineteen forty five so at the same time that we are that's the same time right if lend lease is forty one to forty five and the Manhattan project is forty one to forty five the entire fucking premise was bullshit because we were giving the Soviets uranium to develop their own capabilities at the same time that we were saying we have to do this and invest in this in the United States of America to fight the fucking Soviets uh we're fighting the Germans i guess so the Nazis we're fighting the Nazis and then um so we're arming so we're arming Russia

either either the world leaders of the American leaders at that time were the most retarded people on the planet with zero ability to recognize what was happening in that nation or as the book posits it was all a freaking scam all right um what's that my money's on scam don't we have one more ad yes i was just about to play it your bank kept sixteen hundred dollars from you in twenty twenty five you probably didn't notice now multiply that by millions of americans that's over four hundred thirty three billion dollars in interest the banks kept your money goes in banks put it to work they make record profits you get almost nothing in return and when they blow up guess who has to bail them out so what are you supposed to do ask politely wait except that this is just how banking works

or you could put your money where it works for you on river your cash earns three point three percent paid in bitcoin burning bitcoin gives your money even more room to grow and it's just as easy as how you bank today you can get paid pay your bills and access your money anytime start banking with that coin on river balance me dot tv slash river you will not regret it you will regret it you what is bitcoin at right now thanks uh 77 it's like 77 low 77 like it's stabilizing right there it stayed at the in the you know low 60s for a few months and gave everybody an opportunity to buy it that discount mm-hmm I just stack that's every single week I have it set it and forget it like a rotisserie chicken all right I'm in the same boat I just put every once in a while once a

month put some cash in there and get about it you know the um the the the moniker of bad mood hour is appropriate I'm in a bad mood now thinking about what because because the the reason I made a bad mood about it is because they all know yeah they all that the the the people like we're having arguments about whether or not the american people can have tariff dividends and people are relying upon facts within the current financial system as a you know as as as their evidence for why president trump trump can't do what he's saying he's going to do now that may or may not be true but those facts that you're relying on to make your argument are they're they're they're they're not real they're not we have been lied to about everything going back at least to the turn of the century I would say you know since before the founding of our

nation we've been like we the people have been lied to about everything but certainly since the end of the civil war and the reconstruction period and the reconstruction amendments we were inverted and it was yet we were inverted and we were occupied and we have been transformed by genocidal maniacs ever since this is the first time in um you know probably since JFK that there is an effort to fight that real enemy and this book defines the real enemy I think pretty clearly it's not the juice which I know is what some people are they're they're they're they're they're tied in they're Jewish people tied into it right but but focusing on that as the enemy is another distraction right focusing on one people group as the entity as the as the enemy that's you know the main controller is a distraction from the fact that we have an invisible enemy shadow government controller that uses our incentive structures to manipulate us and change our behavior and

subjugate us and we're as long as we're blaming that on a nation we're not fighting the real enemy I also think it's interesting how the our secret constitution George P Fletcher also deals with this issue of anti-semitism being used as a shield for change and you can't question it you can't come after it because that's anti-semitic to question what we're doing that that that's in our secret constitution as well as creature from jackalyle and and both of these books could be considered suppressed big time big time all right guys we're gonna land that there uh smash that thumbs up if you have not done so already I did not check books I think we've ever gotten one on this show but I'm gonna check and see I think we have have I don't believe we have I looked off for on daily this morning yeah badlands media dot tv slash boost uh and you guys can support us there as well
