One of Democracy Now's guests

One of Democracy Now's guests this morning had this to say about the "special treatment" Jews were given in early 80's USSR. I guess they must at some point have "rectified" the original "Jewish Revolution".....

"VLAD TEICHBERG: Well, we came to the United States actually in the early ’80s, in ’82. And basically, for all practical purposes, my parents were thrown out of Russia. And the reason they were thrown out of Russia is because my dad got entangled in an affair where he basically exposed that on the Soviet—the entrance exams for students entering the universities in Soviet Union were rigged against Jews, in the sense that Jews were getting special exams on the oral sections. And the reason my dad got involved is because he was tutoring kids, in general, for entrance, these exams, and he noticed all his Jewish students were being flunked, and put out the questions. It got up to some other people, and they got up to some other people, and that ended up in the New York Times. And then, at that point, the Soviet Union was not kidnapping any more martyrs, per se, so they basically gave him an option to leave, versus going to the gulag."

To the extent that any of

To the extent that any of Brendan's contentions hold any weight, that all should be taken in light of the Pale of Jewish Settlement which the Tsarate set up to forbid Jews from living farther east than a certain distance from Poland (which evidently had been the nation most tolerant of Jews in Europe for centuries), the vision of the Tsarate to make Moscow into a "Third Rome" (the similarity to a term later taken up by subsequent rulers of Germany is likely not coincidental), and, after the success of the Bolsheviks, the well-noted Jew-hating attitudes of leaders of the White Armies which led many of those Jews who did not join the Red Army to join the anarchist Black Army of Nestor Makhno. As far as Stalin is concerned, I heard he'd been a Russian Orthodox priest earlier in life for what it's worth. For all Stalin's horrors, it was under his administration that the Red Army executed what I've heard regarded as the greatest military counterattack in modern history to break the Siege of Stalingrad. It was one of the critical events which led to the fall of the Nazi regime. Whether Brendan thinks that was a good outcome I'm not sure, however, given his writings.

I am disappointed to hear

I am disappointed to hear D'Agastino's party-line version of the Russian Revolutions
and the USSR Utopia that was birthed. He omits the most important information
and his sterilized version is not at all as interesting as the real history is.
However, the real history might not lead to tenure. But the sterilized history
is not something one can learn from.
Karensky, a wealthy Jewish man who the professor identifies as the head of
the peasant party [God help the peasants] handed over the original revolution
which --had great popular support and which he was at the head of,--
to the Bolsheviks who were led by Lenin and Trotsky both heavily financed by
Judaic bankers in NYC and London. Karensky lived a prosperous and very long
life residing in NYC.
Lenin like Trotsky and most all the leadership of the USSR and it's ministries especially
the many versions of the KGB were of Judaic extraction though in their current incarnation
were atheistic communists, Stalin supposedly was not Judaic and the appalling crimes
of the USSR are blamed on him.
I would like to know more about the Politboro which I believe was the real controlling body
and Stalin probably could not have stayed in power without it's support.
The Bolshevik revolution was a Jewish revolution. They killed the old intelligentsia
and replaced it with a Jewish one, and went on to kill between 60 and 110 million goyim.
Almost never in the US do we hear about the Holodomor.
The USSR UTOPIA was a macabre experiment whose true nature and goals are still obscured.. It did not progress industrially except to the degree it was provided by the West
with industrial and technologial assisstance and information is my understanding from Professor Sutton's study of the matter for the years 1933 to 1973 or thereabouts.

When the Bolsheviks took power, "anti-Semitism" was made illegal and punishable by
death, and it was considered anti-Semitic to identify any official or politician as a Jew.
Many Jews changed their names to appear more Russian, [or Polish in Poland etc]
such as Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin.
I will share a short list of books on my reading list to learn more of the mysterious secretive USSR:
Anthony Sutton, "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution",
Mikhail Heller, "Cogs In The Wheel"
Arthus Koestler, The Ghost In The Machine
Julius Epstein, "Operation Keelhaul"
