Was Communism a British Intelligence Operation?
About this episode
Did the British government engineer communism as a weapon of empire?
In this deep investigative conversation, historian and author Richard Poe lays out evidence that British intelligence played a central role in shaping the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the rise of communism itself—long before the CIA or modern NGOs existed.
We examine:
- How Britain perfected color revolutions centuries before the modern era
- Why Marx, Lenin, and Bolshevik leaders all passed through London
- The role of British intelligence in the Russian Civil War
- How blame was redirected onto Jews to conceal imperial manipulation
- Why modern regime change tactics follow the same blueprint
This is history as investigation—not ideology, not spin.
Just documents, patterns, and receipts.
