The Jewish-Conspiracy Theory of the Bolshevik Revolution

[Lauren Johnson]

Appendix 2 from Antony Sutton's Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution:

[FONT=&amp]There is an extensive literature in English, French, and German reflecting the argument that the Bolshevik Revolution was the result of a "Jewish conspiracy"; more specifically, a conspiracy by Jewish world bankers. Generally, world control is seen as the ultimate objective; the Bolshevik Revolution was but one phase of a wider program that supposedly reflects an age-old religious struggle between Christianity and the "forces of darkness."

[/FONT][FONT=&amp]The argument and its variants can be found in the most surprising places and from quite surprising persons. In February 1920 Winston Churchill wrote an article rarely cited today for the London Illustrated Sunday Herald entitled "Zionism Versus Bolshevism." In this' article Churchill concluded that it was "particularly important... that the National Jews in every country who are loyal to the land of their adoption should come forward on every occasion . . . and take a prominent part in every measure for combatting the Bolshevik conspiracy." Churchill draws a line between "national Jews" and what he calls "international Jews." He argues that the "international and for the most atheistical Jews" certainly had a "very great" role in the creation of Bolshevism and bringing about the Russian Revolution. He asserts (contrary to fact) that with the exception of Lenin, "the majority" of the leading figures in the revolution were Jewish, and adds (also contrary to fact) that in many cases Jewish interests and Jewish places of worship were excepted by the Bolsheviks from their policies of seizure. Churchill calls the international Jews a "sinister confederacy" emergent from the persecuted populations of countries where Jews have been persecuted on account of their race. Winston Churchill traces this movement back to Spartacus-Weishaupt, throws his literary net around Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman, and charges: "This world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing."
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Churchill then argues that this conspiratorial Spartacus-Weishaupt group has been the mainspring of every subversive movement in the nineteenth century. While pointing out that Zionism and Bolshevism are competing for the soul of the Jewish people, Churchill (in 1920) was preoccupied with the role of the Jew in the Bolshevik Revolution and the existence of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Another well-known author in the 1920s, Henry Wickham Steed describes in the second volume of his Through 30 Years 1892-1922 (p. 302) how he attempted to bring the Jewish-conspiracy concept to the attention of Colonel Edward M. House and President Woodrow Wilson. One day in March 1919 Wickham Steed called Colonel House and found him disturbed over Steed's recent criticism of U.S. recognition of the Bolsheviks. Steed pointed out to House that Wilson would be discredited among the many peoples and nations of Europe and "insisted that, unknown to him, the prime movers were Jacob Schiff, Warburg and other international financiers, who wished above all to bolster up the Jewish Bolshevists in order to secure a field for German and Jewish exploitation of Russia."[SUP]1[/SUP] According to Steed, Colonel House argued for the establishment of economic relations with the Soviet Union.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Probably the most superficially damning collection of documents on the Jewish conspiracy is in the State Department Decimal File (861.00/5339). The central document is one entitled "Bolshevism and Judaism," dated November 13, 1918. The text is in the form of a report, which states that the revolution in Russia was engineered "in February 1916" and "it was found that the following persons and firms were engaged in this destructive work":[/FONT]

The report goes on to assert that there can be no doubt that the Russian Revolution was started and engineered by this group and that in April 1917[/FONT]

Jacob Schiff in fact made a public announcement and it was due to his financial influence that the Russian revolution was successfully accomplished and in the Spring 1917 Jacob Schitf started to finance Trotsky, a Jew, for the purpose of accomplishing a social revolution in Russia.

[FONT=&amp]The report contains other miscellaneous information about Max Warburg's financing of Trotsky, the role of the Rheinish-Westphalian syndicate and Olof Aschberg of the Nya Banken (Stockholm) together with Jivotovsky. The anonymous author (actually employed by the U.S. War Trade Board)[SUP]2[/SUP] states that the links between these organizations and their financing of the Bolshevik Revolution show how "the link between Jewish multi-millionaires and Jewish proletarians was forged." The report goes on to list a large number of Bolsheviks who were also Jews and then describes the actions of Paul Warburg, Judus Magnes, Kuhn, Loeb & Company, and Speyer & Company.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]The report ends with a barb at "International Jewry" and places the argument into the context of a Christian-Jewish conflict backed up by quotations from the Protocols of Zion. Accompanying this report is a series of cables between the State Department in Washington and the American embassy in London concerning the steps to be taken with these documents:[SUP]3[/SUP][/FONT]

FOR WRIGHT. Document re financial aid to Bolsheviki by prominent American jews. Reports identified as French translation of a statement originally prepared in English by Russian citizen in Am. etc. Seem most unwise to give the distinction of publicity.

[FONT=&amp]It was agreed to suppress this material and the files conclude, "I think we have the whole thing in cold storage."
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Another document marked "Most Secret" is included with this batch of material. The provenance of the document is unknown; it is perhaps FBI or military intelligence. It reviews a translation of the Protocols of the Meetings of the Wise Men of Zion, and concludes:[/FONT]

In this connection a letter was sent to Mr. W. enclosing a memorandum from us with regard to certain information from the American Military Attache to the effect that the British authorities had letters intercepted from various groups of international Jews setting out a scheme for world dominion. Copies of this material will be very useful to us.

[FONT=&amp]This information was apparently developed and a later British intelligence report makes the flat accusation:
[/FONT]

SUMMARY: There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews; communications are passing between the leaders in America, France, Russia and England with a view to concerted action....[SUP]4

[/SUP]

[FONT=&amp]However, none of the above statements can be supported with hard empirical evidence. The most significant information is contained in the paragraph to the effect that the British authorities possessed "letters intercepted from various groups of international Jews setting out a scheme for world dominion." If indeed such letters exist, then they would provide support (or nonsupport) for a presently unsubstantiated hypothesis: to wit, that the Bolshevik Revolution and other revolutions are the work of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Moveover, when statements and assertions are not supported by hard evidence and where attempts to unearth hard evidence lead in a circle back to the starting point particularly when everyone is quoting everyone else then we must reject the story as spurious. There is no concrete evidence that Jews were involved in the Bolshevik Revolution because they were Jewish. There may indeed have been a higher proportion of Jews involved, but given tsarist treatment of Jews, what else would we expect? There were probably many Englishmen or persons of English origin in the American Revolution fighting the redcoats. So what? Does that make the American Revolution an English conspiracy? Winston Churchill's statement that Jews had a "very great role" in the Bolshevik Revolution is supported only by distorted evidence. The list of Jews involved in the Bolshevik Revolution must be weighed against lists of non-Jews involved in the revolution. When this scientific procedure is adopted, the proportion of foreign Jewish Bolsheviks involved falls to less than twenty percent of the total number of revolutionaries and these Jews were mostly deported, murdered, or sent to Siberia in the following years. Modern Russia has in fact maintained tsarist anti-Semitism.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]It is significant that documents in the State Department files confirm that the investment banker Jacob Schiff, often cited as a source of funds for the Bolshevik Revolution, was in fact against support of the Bolshevik regime.[SUP]5[/SUP] This position, as we shall see, was in direct contrast to the Morgan-Rockefeller promotion of the Bolsheviks.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]The persistence with which the Jewish-conspiracy myth has been pushed suggests that it may well be a deliberate device to divert attention from the real issues and the real causes. The evidence provided in this book suggests that the New York bankers who were also Jewish had relatively minor roles in supporting the Bolsheviks, while the New York bankers who were also Gentiles (Morgan, Rockefeller, Thompson) had major roles.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]What better way to divert attention from the real operators than by the medieval bogeyman of anti-Semitism?

Note that Sutton in scholarly fashion casts doubt on the Jewish conspiracy angle at the end. If indeed this were a news article the last paragraph would have been the first.

What skin do the Dulles Brothers have in the game of blaming Jewish people for the Bolsheviks in 1918? John is a Princeton-graduated Sullivan and Cromwell lawyer and a Major on the War Industries Board (with Samuel Prescott Bush), still yet to attend Versailles. Allen is in Switzerland as a junior "diplomat" (where he claimed to have been contacted by none other than the then-obscure Vladimir Lenin) and not yet even gone to law school.

Lauren, have a look at the career of a lady called Nesta Webster. Churchill's "analysis" above is pure Webster.

Paul, since you used to run the Foreign Office *cough*, you must have attended some great orgies, err cocktail parties, and whatnot, I do wonder if Ms. Webster's analysis bears some measure of truth, minus the Jooz did it part? There have been many posts here at DPF on the occult links to various intelligence organizations and mind control, satanic sacrifice, the Qabbala, Nazi fascination with the occult, etc. Even Gilad Atzmon, the Israeli born jazz musician and ethicist, would agree to some of Webster's opinions.

Put this in the category of Just Sayin'. :hock::

Back when Jan was still posting here, he and David would consistently disagree, if memory serves me correctly, about the nature of organized, high level paedophilia and whether it served more than the purpose of political control of leaders. Jan took the position that it was all about power, much like Sutton's position, and David (correct me) said there were occult aspects to it in the obtaining of kundalini (child sacrifice).

It gets worse, M. Webster was called upon to give ideological guidance to the cream of Britain's trainee military in the post-WW1 period. She really does deserve to be better known & studied.

Yes, except I don't think we ever disagreed. We simply noted different strands of the same beast.

Power is a handmaiden of Kundalini.

Edit = PS, I should add for clarity that not all paedophiles are occultists and not all occultists are paedophiles. Pretty obvious really. My focus on the occult aspect was simply to point out that there was - and is - an occult aspect. Likewise the accrual of power is not necessarily related to the practise the occult. But it is, I think, a valid explanation that the practise of the occult is both far wider than recognised and has always attracted to it members of the powerful ruling class/elite - simply because it offers the promise of longevity (at the very least).

Jan & DG have forgotten more about the subject than I am likely to learn, as my chosen field remains Goodison Park. So I defer to both, as all I could add would be facile nonsense, in which I have a PhD.

Webster, about whom I know a lot less than I would like to, cobbled together a version of recent history designed to obscure British purposes & roles - most obviously with regard to the French Revolution, which was a Britsh operation from start to sanguinary finish - beneath a veneer of diligent research & courageous dissent.

I did enjoy the bit about FO orgies. If you have the photos, name your favourite charity's bank & I'll drop some bitcoins in it.

If we add to the French Revolution the covert manoeuvres of Churchill's "High Cabal", namely the Rhodes-Milner kindergarten in creating WWI and the USA's birthing of, doubtless with Blighty's assistance (probably via the Pilgrim Society), the Russian Revolution and then add all the wars and disturbances since WWII to date --- I don't think it would a stretch to regard the Anglo-American empire as "the" genuine "axis of evil".
