\"\"<\/a>Timothy Alexander Guzman, Silent Crow News \u2014<\/strong><\/em> Professor Antony C. Sutton\u2019s \u2018Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution\u2019<\/em> recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. Professor Sutton taught at California State University, Los Angeles and was a research fellow at Stanford University\u2019s Hoover Institution. He wrote numerous books based on Wall Street corruption and their involvement in world wars including \u2018Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Wall Street and FDR\u2019<\/em> both published in 1976. Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution is a historical classic based on Professor Sutton\u2019s extensive research on whom and why Wall Street helped fund the Bolshevik Revolution. If you want to understand the conspiracy by the West who overthrew Czarist Russia and replaced it with one of the most dangerous political movements in the 20th century known as the \u201cBolsheviks\u201d, then Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution is one history book you should add to your list. The Bolsheviks murdered millions of Russian people since the start of the Russian revolution in 1917 where it is estimated that between 20 and 66 million who were executed, starved and even tortured to death, many in the labor camps known as the gulags. Nobel Prize winner and author of \u2018The Gulag Archipelago\u2019<\/em> Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn declared that more than 66 million Russian people were murdered. Solzhenitsyn\u2019s book was based on his personal experience as a prisoner, but it was also a well-researched document of what actually happened in the gulags according to eyewitness accounts. The Western elites wanted total control of Russia\u2019s economy and society with a communist regime in place and they succeeded with their plans as the Bolsheviks became their enforcers; the Czars were eventually removed from power.<\/p>\n

Recently in a speech regarding Crimea, President Vladimir Putin had said \u201cIn short, we have every reason to assume that the infamous policy of containment, led in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, continues today.\u201d<\/em> There is truth to that statement; according to \u2018Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution\u2019<\/em> it is a historical fact that the Wall Street elites had planned to undermine Russia\u2019s sovereignty dating back to the 19th and 20th centuries. In the early 19th Century, Western Financiers created a revolution to overthrow Czarist Russia; Professor Sutton makes the connection between the United States and German interests in untapped Russian markets with prominent financiers such as J.P. Morgan, David Rockefeller and Leaders of the Bolshevik revolution Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Leon Trotsky. Sutton explains his methods on how he obtained information:<\/p>\n

Since the early 1920s, numerous pamphlets and articles, even a few books, have sought to forge a link between \u201cinternational bankers\u201d and \u201cBolshevik revolutionaries.\u201d Rarely have these attempts been supported by hard evidence, and never have such attempts been argued within the framework of a scientific methodology. Indeed, some of the \u201cevidence\u201d used in these efforts has been fraudulent, some has been irrelevant, much cannot be checked. Examination of the topic by academic writers has been studiously avoided; probably because the hypothesis offends the neat dichotomy of capitalists versus Communists (and everyone knows, of course, that these are bitter enemies). Moreover, because a great deal that has been written borders on the absurd, a sound academic reputation could easily be wrecked on the shoals of ridicule. Reason enough to avoid the topic.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Fortunately, the State Department Decimal File, particularly the 861.00 section, contains extensive documentation on the hypothesized link. When the evidence in these official papers is merged with nonofficial evidence from biographies, personal papers, and conventional histories, a truly fascinating story emerges.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We find there was a link between some New York international bankers and many revolutionaries, including Bolsheviks. These banking gentlemen \u2013 who are here identified \u2013 had a financial stake in, and were rooting for, the success of the Bolshevik Revolution.<\/em><\/p>\n

Who, why \u2013 and for how much \u2013 is the story in this book<\/em><\/p>\n

Professor Sutton asks:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat motive explains this coalition of capitalists and Bolsheviks?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He explains Wall Street\u2019s intentions on creating the Bolshevik Revolution against Czarist Russia:<\/p>\n

Russia was then \u2013 and is today \u2013 the largest untapped market in the world. Moreover, Russia, then and now, constituted the greatest potential competitive threat to American industrial and financial supremacy. (A glance at a world map is sufficient to spotlight the geographical difference between the vast land mass of Russia and the smaller United States.) Wall Street must have cold shivers when it visualizes Russia as a second super American industrial giant.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

But why allow Russia to become a competitor and a challenge to U.S. supremacy? In the late nineteenth century, Morgan\/Rockefeller, and Guggenheim had demonstrated their monopolistic proclivities. In Railroads and Regulation 1877-1916 Gabriel Kolko has demonstrated how the railroad owners, not the farmers, wanted state control of railroads in order to preserve their monopoly and abolish competition. So the simplest explanation of our evidence is that a syndicate of Wall Street financiers enlarged their monopoly ambitions and broadened horizons on a global scale. The gigantic Russian market was to be converted into a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered American financiers and the corporations under their control. What the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Trade Commission under the thumb of American industry could achieve for that industry at home, a planned socialist government could achieve for it abroad \u2013 given suitable support and inducements from Wall Street and Washington, D.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

In an interesting note, Sutton explains how British Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared that there was a \u201cJewish Conspiracy\u201d to control the world. He believed that the Bolshevik Revolution was a first step towards that goal:<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 rarely cited today \u2013for the London Illustrated Sunday Herald entitled \u201cZionism Versus Bolshevism.\u201d In this\u2019 article Churchill concluded that it was \u201cparticularly important\u2026 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Churchill draws a line between \u201cnational Jews\u201d and what he calls \u201cinternational Jews.\u201d He argues that the \u201cinternational and for the most atheistical Jews\u201d certainly had a \u201cvery great\u201d role in the creation of Bolshevism and bringing about the Russian Revolution. He asserts (contrary to fact) that with the exception of Lenin, \u201cthe majority\u201d 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 \u201csinister confederacy\u201d emergent from the persecuted populations of countries where Jews have been persecuted on account of their race.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Winston Churchill traces this movement back to Spartacus-Weishaupt, throws his literary net around Trotsky, Bela Kun, Rosa Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman, and charges: \u201cThis 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution<\/em> is a must have for those who want to understand how far Wall Street will go to subjugate populations into perpetual slavery. They wanted total control of Russian society which resulted in the deaths of millions of people. The Russian people were victims of a conspiracy, one that Mr. Sutton\u2019s brilliant research proves.<\/p>\n

Many universities do not include \u2018Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution\u2019<\/em> in their syllabus as \u201crequired\u201d reading materials. Of course, it can be labeled as\u00a0\u201cconspiratorial\u201d<\/em> and not relevant to Russian history especially in the American university system. However, it is a must read for those who wish to understand how Wall Street bankers were involved in funding a revolution to remove the Czars from power.<\/p>\n

Every university, public and private schools around the world should include \u201cWall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution\u2019 as a requirement for their history classes. Sutton connects the Russian revolution to Wall Street elites who funded the operation. It is an essential chapter in world history that allows you to understand how financial elites manipulate the politics and society so they can control the economy for their advantage. Not only educational institutions should include Professor Sutton\u2019s books as part of their lesson plans, but every man, woman, child, historian,\u00a0political scientist, economist\u00a0or those who are simply looking for the truth, \u2018Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution\u2019<\/em> is one history book that should be in everyone\u2019s library. It is a history lesson that should not be missed.<\/p>\n
