Putin's Call for a New World Economy - West Should Join China, Russia, Abandon Post-WW2, Cold War Financial Order

As today ’ s world teeters on the brink of a financial collapse greater than anything the world experienced in either 1923 Weimar or the 1929 Great depression , a serious discussion has been initiated by leaders of Russia and China regarding the terms of the new system which must inevitably replace the currently dying neo-liberal order .
Most recently , Vladimir Putin re-initiated his January 16 , 2020 call for a new emergency economic conference to deal with the looming disaster based upon a live session with representatives of the five nuclear powers of the UN Security Council .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ new system is premised upon multi-polar principles of cooperation and respect of national sovereignty , the financial oligarchy and broader deep state structures infesting the western nations who have initiated this crisis over the course of decades of globalization have called for their own version of a new system .
This new system as we have seen promoted by the likes of the Bank of England and leading technocrats over the past year , is based upon an anti-Nation State , unipolar system which typically goes by the term “ Green New Deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a system ruled by a technocratic elite managing the reduction of world population through the monetization of carbon reduction practices under a Global Government .
No matter how you look at it , a new system will be created out of the ashes of the currently dying world order .
The question is only : Will it benefit the oligarchy or the people ?
In order to inform the necessary decision making going into this emergency conference , it is useful to revisit the last such emergency conference that defined the terms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1944 so that similar mistakes that were then made by anti-imperialist forces are not made once more .
What Was the Bretton Woods ?
As it was becoming apparent that the war would be soon drawing to a close , a major fight broke out during a two week conference in Bretton Woods New Hampshire where representative of 44 nations convened to establish the terms of the new post-war system .
The question was : Would this new system be governed by those British Imperial principles similar to those that had dominated the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they be shaped by a community of sovereign nation states ?
On the one side , figures allied to American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt ’ s vision for an anti-Imperial world order lined up behind FDR ’ s champion Harry Dexter White while those powerful forces committed to maintaining the structures of a bankers ’ dictatorship ( Britain was always primarily a banker ’ s empire ) lined up behind the figure of John Maynard Keynes .
John Maynard Keynes was a leading Fabian Society controller and treasurer of the British Eugenics Association @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hitler ’ s Eugenics protocols before and during the war ) .
During the Bretton Woods Conference , Keynes pushed hard for the new system to be premised upon a one world currency controlled entirely by the Bank of England known as the Bancor .
He proposed a global bank called the Clearing Union to be controlled by the Bank of England which would use the Bancor ( exchangeable with national currencies ) and serve as unit of account to measure trade surpluses or deficits under the mathematical mandate of maintaining “ equilibrium @ @ @ @ @ @ @ White on the other hand fought relentlessly to keep the City of London out of the drivers ’ seat of global finance and instead defended the institution of national sovereignty and sovereign currencies based on long term scientific and technological growth .
Although White and FDR demanded that U.S. dollars become the reserve currency in the new world system of fixed exchange rates , it was not done to create a “ new American Empire ” as most modern analysts have assumed , but rather was designed to use America ’ s status @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ensure an anti-speculative stability among international currencies which entirely lacked stability in the wake of WWII .
Their fight for fixed exchange rates and principles of “ parity pricing ” were designed by FDR and White strictly around the need to abolish the forms of chaotic flux of the un-regulated markets which made speculation rampant under British Free Trade and destroyed the capacity to think and plan for the sort of long term development needed to modernize nation states .
Theirs was not a drive for “ mathematical equilibrium ” but rather a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ REAL physical economic growth of colonies who would thereby win real economic independence .
As figures like Henry Wallace ( FDR ’ s loyal Vice President and 1948 3rd party candidate ) , Representative William Wilkie ( FDR ’ s republican lieutenant and New Dealer ) , and Dexter White all advocated repeatedly , the mechanisms of the World Bank , IMF , and United Nations were meant to become drivers of an internationalization of the New Deal which transformed America from a backwater cesspool in 1932 to becoming a modern advanced manufacturing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these Interntional New Dealers were loud advocates of US-Russia –China leadership in the post war world which is a forgotten fact of paramount importance .
In his 1944 book Our Job in the Pacific , Wallace said : Contradicting the mythos that FDR was a Keynesian , FDR ’ s assistant Francis Perkins recorded the 1934 interaction between the two men when Roosevelt told her : In his 1936 German edition of his General Theory of Employment , Interest and Money , Keynes wrote : While Keynes represented the “ soft imperialism ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s intelligentsia , Churchill represented the hard unapologetic imperialism of the Old , less sophisticated empire that preferred the heavy fisted use of brute force to subdue the savages .
Both however were unapologetic racists and fascists ( Churchill even wrote admiringly of Mussolini ’ s black shirts ) and both represented the most vile practices of British Imperialism .

While Putin’s commitment for this new system is premised upon multi-polar principles of cooperation and respect of national sovereignty, the financial oligarchy and broader deep state structures infesting the western nations who have initiated this crisis over the course of decades of globalization have called for their own version of a new system.
This new system as we have seen promoted by the likes of the Bank of England and leading technocrats over the past year, is based upon an anti-Nation State, unipolar system which typically goes by the term “Green New Deal”. In other words, this is a system ruled by a technocratic elite managing the reduction of world population through the monetization of carbon reduction practices under a Global Government.
No matter how you look at it, a new system will be created out of the ashes of the currently dying world order. The question is only: Will it benefit the oligarchy or the people?
In order to inform the necessary decision making going into this emergency conference, it is useful to revisit the last such emergency conference that defined the terms of a world economic architecture in July 1944 so that similar mistakes that were then made by anti-imperialist forces are not made once more.
What Was the Bretton Woods?
As it was becoming apparent that the war would be soon drawing to a close, a major fight broke out during a two week conference in Bretton Woods New Hampshire where representative of 44 nations convened to establish the terms of the new post-war system. The question was: Would this new system be governed by those British Imperial principles similar to those that had dominated the world before the war began or would they be shaped by a community of sovereign nation states?
On the one side, figures allied to American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s vision for an anti-Imperial world order lined up behind FDR’s champion Harry Dexter White while those powerful forces committed to maintaining the structures of a bankers’ dictatorship (Britain was always primarily a banker’s empire) lined up behind the figure of John Maynard Keynes.
John Maynard Keynes was a leading Fabian Society controller and treasurer of the British Eugenics Association (which served as a model for Hitler’s Eugenics protocols before and during the war). During the Bretton Woods Conference, Keynes pushed hard for the new system to be premised upon a one world currency controlled entirely by the Bank of England known as the Bancor. He proposed a global bank called the Clearing Union to be controlled by the Bank of England which would use the Bancor (exchangeable with national currencies) and serve as unit of account to measure trade surpluses or deficits under the mathematical mandate of maintaining “equilibrium” of the system.
Harry Dexter White on the other hand fought relentlessly to keep the City of London out of the drivers’ seat of global finance and instead defended the institution of national sovereignty and sovereign currencies based on long term scientific and technological growth. Although White and FDR demanded that U.S. dollars become the reserve currency in the new world system of fixed exchange rates, it was not done to create a “new American Empire” as most modern analysts have assumed, but rather was designed to use America’s status as the strongest productive global power to ensure an anti-speculative stability among international currencies which entirely lacked stability in the wake of WWII.
Their fight for fixed exchange rates and principles of “parity pricing” were designed by FDR and White strictly around the need to abolish the forms of chaotic flux of the un-regulated markets which made speculation rampant under British Free Trade and destroyed the capacity to think and plan for the sort of long term development needed to modernize nation states. Theirs was not a drive for “mathematical equilibrium” but rather a drive to “end poverty” through REAL physical economic growth of colonies who would thereby win real economic independence.
As figures like Henry Wallace (FDR’s loyal Vice President and 1948 3rd party candidate), Representative William Wilkie (FDR’s republican lieutenant and New Dealer), and Dexter White all advocated repeatedly, the mechanisms of the World Bank, IMF, and United Nations were meant to become drivers of an internationalization of the New Deal which transformed America from a backwater cesspool in 1932 to becoming a modern advanced manufacturing powerhouse 12 years later. All of these Interntional New Dealers were loud advocates of US-Russia –China leadership in the post war world which is a forgotten fact of paramount importance.
In his 1944 book Our Job in the Pacific, Wallace said:
“It is vital to the United States, it is vital to China and it is vital to Russia that there be peaceful and friendly relations between China and Russia, China and America and Russia and America. China and Russia Complement and supplement each other on the continent of Asia and the two together complement and supplement America’s position in the Pacific.”
Contradicting the mythos that FDR was a Keynesian, FDR’s assistant Francis Perkins recorded the 1934 interaction between the two men when Roosevelt told her:
“I saw your friend Keynes. He left a whole rigmarole of figures. He must be a mathematician rather than a political economist.” In response Keynes, who was then trying to coopt the intellectual narrative of the New Deal stated he had “supposed the President was more literate, economically speaking.”
In his 1936 German edition of his General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, Keynes wrote:
“For I confess that much of the following book is illustrated and expounded mainly with reference to the conditions existing in the Anglo Saxon countries. Nevertheless, the theory of output as a whole, which is what the following book purports to provide, is much more easily adapted to the conditions of a totalitarian state.”
While Keynes represented the “soft imperialism” for the “left” of Britain’s intelligentsia, Churchill represented the hard unapologetic imperialism of the Old, less sophisticated empire that preferred the heavy fisted use of brute force to subdue the savages. Both however were unapologetic racists and fascists (Churchill even wrote admiringly of Mussolini’s black shirts) and both represented the most vile practices of British Imperialism.
FDR’s Forgotten Anti-Colonial Vision Revited
FDR’s battle with Churchill on the matter of empire is better known than his differences with Keynes whom he only met on a few occasions. This well documented clash was best illustrated in his son/assistant Elliot Roosevelt’s book As He Saw It (1946) who quoted his father:
“I’ve tried to make it clear … that while we’re [Britain’s] allies and in it to victory by their side, they must never get the idea that we’re in it just to help them hang on to their archaic, medieval empire ideas … I hope they realize they’re not senior partner; that we are not going to sit by and watch their system stultify the growth of every country in Asia and half the countries in Europe to boot.”
FDR continued:
“The colonial system means war. Exploit the resources of an India, a Burma, a Java; take all the wealth out of these countries, but never put anything back into them, things like education, decent standards of living, minimum health requirements–all you’re doing is storing up the kind of trouble that leads to war. All you’re doing is negating the value of any kind of organizational structure for peace before it begins.”
Writing from Washington in a hysteria to Churchill, Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said that Roosevelt ”contemplates the dismantling of the British and Dutch empires.”
Unfortunately for the world, FDR died on April 12, 1945. A coup within the Democratic establishment, then replete with Fabians and Rhodes Scholars, had already ensured that Henry Wallace would lose the 1944 Vice Presidency in favor of Anglophile Wall Street Stooge Harry Truman. Truman was quick to reverse all of FDR’s intentions, cleansing American intelligence of all remaining patriots with the shutdown of the OSS and creation of the CIA, the launching of un-necessary nuclear bombs on Japan and establishment of the Anglo-American special relationship. Truman’s embrace of Churchill’s New World Order destroyed the positive relationship with Russia and China which FDR, White and Wallace sought and soon America had become Britain’s dumb giant.
The Post 1945 Takeover of the Modern Deep State
FDR warned his son before his death of his understanding of the British takeover of American foreign policy, but still could not reverse this agenda. His son recounted his father’s ominous insight:
“You know, any number of times the men in the State Department have tried to conceal messages to me, delay them, hold them up somehow, just because some of those career diplomats over there aren’t in accord with what they know I think. They should be working for Winston. As a matter of fact, a lot of the time, they are [working for Churchill]. Stop to think of ’em: any number of ’em are convinced that the way for America to conduct its foreign policy is to find out what the British are doing and then copy that!” I was told… six years ago, to clean out that State Department. It’s like the British Foreign Office….”
Before being fired from Truman’s cabinet for his advocacy of US-Russia friendship during the Cold War, Wallace stated:
“American fascism” which has come to be known in recent years as the Deep State. “Fascism in the postwar inevitably will push steadily for Anglo-Saxon imperialism and eventually for war with Russia. Already American fascists are talking and writing about this conflict and using it as an excuse for their internal hatreds and intolerances toward certain races, creeds and classes.” In his 1946 Soviet Asia Mission, Wallace said “Before the blood of our boys is scarcely dry on the field of battle, these enemies of peace try to lay the foundation for World War III. These people must not succeed in their foul enterprise. We must offset their poison by following the policies of Roosevelt in cultivating the friendship of Russia in peace as well as in war.”
Indeed this is exactly what occurred. Dexter White’s three year run as head of the International Monetary Fund was clouded by his constant attacks as being a Soviet stooge which haunted him until the day he died in 1948 after a grueling inquisition session at the House of Un-American Activities. White had previously been supporting the election of his friend Wallace for the presidency alongside fellow patriots Paul Robeson and Albert Einstein.
Today the world has captured a second chance to revive the FDR’s dream of an anti-colonial world. In the 21st century, this great dream has taken the form of the New Silk Road, led by Russia and China (and joined by a growing chorus of nations yearning to exit the invisible cage of colonialism).
If western nations wish to survive the oncoming collapse, then they would do well to heed Putin’s call for a New International system, join the BRI, and reject the Keynesian technocrats advocating a false “New Bretton Woods” and “Green New Deal”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has lifted many of Russia ’ s coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) lockdown restrictions , but the number of those infected continues to rise to new daily record highs .

According to the Federal State Statistics Service , Russia ’ s unemployment stood at 4.7 % in March .

The easing of Russia ’ s lockdown is an attempt to restart the stalled economy and Putin also called on regional governors to come up with plans to get the country back to work by June 1 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and stimulate credit , according to orders published on the Kremlin ’ s website .

Putin has eased the lockdown restrictions a little, but the change has more to do with restarting Russia's stalled economy than with the population's frustration at being kept indoors.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has lifted many of Russia’s coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown restrictions, but the number of those infected continues to rise to new daily record highs.
"Starting from tomorrow, May 12, the national period of non-working days will be over for all sectors of the economy," Putin said.
Russia had a total of 221,344 coronavirus cases and 2,009 deaths as of May 11. While many European countries are now seeing their curves flatten and the daily tally of confirmed new cases starting to fall, in Russia the spread of the infection is still accelerating, with 11,656 new cases reported on May 11 – a new daily record.
However, countries around the world are desperate to lift restrictions and put their populations back to work. Russia’s economy has already shrunk by a third since the double whammy of an oil price collapse and the coronavirus related lockdown delivered a body blow to the economy. The previous crisis in 2014 cost Russia around $150mn a week and wiped some half a trillion dollars off the value of the country’s economy.
While Putin outlined some easing of restrictions, the salient part of his televised speech was that the official “non-work” days were over as of midnight May 11, which means companies no longer have to pay salaries to their staff if they don't show up for work, and are free to sack excess labour.
He said the country's "non-working period" imposed to curb the virus had lasted six weeks.
He has also left the details of what restriction to ease or enforce to Russia’s 86 regional bosses. While half of all Russia’s infections are concentrated in the capital Moscow, the virus has spread into the regions and local administrations have been left to deal with it on their own terms. Regions that are badly affected are likely to leave restrictions in place.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin extended Moscow’s restrictions to May 31 at the end of last week. Sobyanin said that the number of infections in the capital is likely to be three times higher than the official count of 115,909 as of May 11.
Moscow was forced to cancel the VE-Day celebrations at the weekend to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII, or the Great Patriotic War, as it is known in Russia. Until the coronavirus outbreak the Kremlin was planning a grandiose parade and had invited leaders from all around the world to attend. In the end the Russian armed forces limited themselves to a fly-by over Moscow.
Back to work
It is unclear what affect the end of the official holiday will have on unemployment and income. Companies have been bleeding cash while they have been forced to effectively stop work, but at the same time pay their staff.
The big companies have large reserves of cash of up to a year, as despite the reforms to the banking sector over the last seven years corporate lending remains a very small part of most companies' capex programmes. However, the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and especially small companies in retail such as restaurants, are believed to hold no more than one month of cash as working capital. A study by state-owned retail giant Sberbank carried out in April found that payments in general were down by 20%.
Companies will increasingly have to choose between sacking workers or going bust. The big employers have been the focus of the Kremlin’s economic aid programmes, but the SMEs have largely fallen through the cracks. The government released a list of 1,151 companies, both public and privately owned, from across the economic spectrum on April 30 that are entitled to state help, most of whom employ thousands of workers. But the SMEs will struggle tap state funds.
And bankruptcies in Russia are mounting. In the first quarter of 20020 some 22,400 individuals and individual entrepreneurs have been ruled as financially insolvent by Russian courts, making a 70% year-on-year surge, RBC business daily reported on April 7 citing data from the Federal bankruptcy registrar.
As reported by bne IntelliNews, banking and other sectors could be hit by simplified private bankruptcy procedures during the coronavirus epidemic, risking a wave of defaults on loan payments, social security contributions and delays on utility bills, which have already begun to appear.
In 2019 69,000 bankruptcy cases were approved, up by 57% y/y. For now, the spike in first-quarter bankruptcies this year is following the same trend, attributed to the popularisation of the procedure and development of the legal framework.
In March alone, 67,000 sole proprietors closed their businesses, a 77% increase compared to the decline experienced in March 2019. Similarly, a survey conducted by InFOM reveals that 16% of the population has already experienced a significant decline in income. An additional 19% of respondents reported that their incomes had fallen slightly, while a third (33%) expect the situation to worsen in the next month.
However, the suddenness of the outbreak and speed it tends to burn out – China’s epidemic lasted 10 weeks from start to almost end – could limit the number of bankruptcies. However, each week the lockdown is extended will result in a geometrical increase in the number of bankruptcies – something that could rapidly lead to protests and which the Kremlin is keen to head off as quickly as possible.
While unemployment has been at post-Soviet all-time lows in recent years, despite the 2014 crisis and subsequent recession, that could change now.
Russia’s unemployment may jump to 7-8%, or even to 10% in the worst scenario amid the coronavirus outbreak, the Audit Chamber’s head Alexei Kudrin told Rossiya 1 television channel on April 25.
“So far, oddly enough, even despite the transition to a very serious stage of the crisis, we have a minimum number of registered unemployed. We have 0.7% unemployed of the economically active population. This is registered. If we take it by other standards, by the standards of the International Labour Organization, we have 4.5% of the unemployed,” Kudrin said. According to the Federal State Statistics Service, Russia’s unemployment stood at 4.7% in March.
The population has been narked by the stagnant real income growth of the last six years, but the majority of Russians have had a job and can cover the basics even if buying those little luxuries has become more painful. But a return to double-digit rates of unemployment would be a return to the pain of the economic miasma of the Yeltsin years and would have unpredictable political consequences for President Putin. Putin’s approval rating has already fallen to its lowest level since he came to power more than 20 years ago, a Levada opinion poll found on May 6.
The easing of Russia’s lockdown is an attempt to restart the stalled economy and Putin also called on regional governors to come up with plans to get the country back to work by June 1 that will revive production, create jobs and stimulate credit, according to orders published on the Kremlin’s website.

But in terms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which then became the IDF , was actively smuggling Jews out of Europe .
And the Nazis were looking the other way .
Yeah .
It was the British that did n't want it because there was a big problem keeping order with the Arabs and the Jews .
So they were like putting caps on Jewish immigration because , you know , they were they sort of the Balfour Declaration gave their hand away , but they were doing the thing like we kind of need to slow boil these Palestinians .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have some information about the Balfour Declaration .
Basically , Lloyd George , agreed to do that .
Out of desperation because the British were not doing well in the First World War .
And this is so fascinating because , you know , it 's funny , even like mainstream geopolitical websites , like foreign policy mag and stuff like that , when they write about the Balfour Declaration , they admit Lloyd George and Ed Balfour made that .
That they came up with that in hopes of getting America into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Look , this is mainstream history .
They believe that in the Jewish world , conspiracy and they saw .
So here 's a little history of the First World War .
Now , everyone knows that Warburg and Schiff were enemies of the tsar in Russia .

And it was n't until the Balfour Declaration that Jews went for being neutral , American Jews being neutral in WWI to joining on the side of the allies .
That that that 's kind of what what the stab in the back .
That 's like one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back of a stab in the back is that international Jewry initially supported Germany in the first what they supported the central powers in particular member who was in charge of Palestine at the time , or rather who who is who had that power over it was the Ottomans .
Yeah , the Ottoman Empire .
And they were central power countries .
So it 's all British stressing that to the Jews in exchange for switching sides .
And lo and behold , turns the tide of the war .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the British promised them Palestine if they were going to .
You know , it went public because it once the Ottomans go there like you were .
It 's of our interest to start promoting this .
Now there there 's already Jews moving into that area is already a Zionist movement that started in like the eighteen eighties .
But also , yes , as you said , they were supporting Germi .
You are supporting Germany .
Well , because Germany was fighting against Russia .
One of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they pulled out of the war , the Treaty of Brest , they hauled out of the war .
And not only did they pull out , they they they they ceded tons of land to the Germans .
Remember , Lenin was well when he re-entered Russia .
It was on a German military training .
And the hope there was their hope because they it on some level where they believed in Marxist dogma , where it was geopolitics , they thought there was going to be a communist revolution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people kind of forget is that they were convinced the Bolsheviks were fairly sure and the communist movement in Germany .
So the Jewish communist movement in Germany , they thought they were going to take the government they thought was very , very imminent there and take that government .
And then they would have a huge bloc of from Germany to Russia , solid Jewish communist bloc that had been , in their eyes , unbeatable .
And then they would just temporary were all in order .
They made there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So will Poland fall if you 've Germany and Russia are both impulsive , a country like Poland has no right .
You know .
Right .

A lot of those were bait for for communists .
They would have gone to them .
But here comes here comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They 're like , oh , this is actually way better .

Up to Argentina, to Canada, to other, to England, even, you know, there's so at the end of the USSR, you know, there's so many cases where they could go.
But in terms of Israel itself, the Haganah, which then became the IDF, was actively smuggling Jews out of Europe.
And the Nazis were looking the other way. Yeah. It was the British that didn't want it because there was a big problem keeping order with the Arabs and the Jews. So they were like putting caps on Jewish immigration because, you know, they were they sort of the Balfour Declaration gave their hand away, but they were doing the thing like we kind of need to slow boil these Palestinians.
So I have I have some I have some information about the Balfour Declaration. Basically, Lloyd George, agreed to do that. Out of desperation because the British were not doing well in the First World War. And this is so fascinating because, you know, it's funny, even like mainstream geopolitical websites, like foreign policy mag and stuff like that, when they write about the Balfour Declaration, they admit Lloyd George and Ed Balfour made that. That they came up with that in hopes of getting America into the war like this is actually mainstream. Look, this is mainstream history. They believe that in the Jewish world, conspiracy and they saw. So here's a little history of the First World War. Now, everyone knows that Warburg and Schiff were enemies of the tsar in Russia. Right. So WWI breaks out, Russia enters. Who are the Jews going to side with? They sided with Germany. OK. They were the Jews were pro German during the First World War until the Balfour Declaration. The reason they were. Was because they didn't like the Tsar. It was with the Balfour Declaration and the Bolshevik Revolution. Now, in the same year. Yes. And the figures named are Haim Weizman and Louis Brandeis. Louis Brandeis particular. A lot of people think he was just like a Supreme Court judge. No, no. He was far more than that. He's very prominent in the Woodrow Wilson administration.
Well, just a Supreme Court judge. He was only like one of the top judgeS in the court. Only one of the top guys in all country. Yeah. No, you don't.
Anyway, what was happening is that until the Balfour Declaration, American Jewry was holding up loans and aid to the allied powers in World War One. And it wasn't until the Balfour Declaration that Jews went for being neutral, American Jews being neutral in WWI to joining on the side of the allies. That that that's kind of what what the stab in the back. That's like one of the origins of the stab in the back of a stab in the back is that international Jewry initially supported Germany in the first what they supported the central powers in particular member who was in charge of Palestine at the time, or rather who who is who had that power over it was the Ottomans. Yeah, the Ottoman Empire. And they were central power countries. So it's all British stressing that to the Jews in exchange for switching sides. And lo and behold, turns the tide of the war.
And this is also interesting because, well, the British promised them Palestine if they were going to.
You know, it went public because it once the Ottomans go there like you were. It's of our interest to start promoting this. Now there there's already Jews moving into that area is already a Zionist movement that started in like the eighteen eighties. But also, yes, as you said, they were supporting Germi. You are supporting Germany. Well, because Germany was fighting against Russia.
What's the first thing?
One of the first things the Bolsheviks did when they when they pulled out of the war, the Treaty of Brest, they hauled out of the war. And not only did they pull out, they they they they ceded tons of land to the Germans. Remember, Lenin was well when he re-entered Russia. It was on a German military training.
And the hope there was their hope because they it on some level where they believed in Marxist dogma, where it was geopolitics, they thought there was going to be a communist revolution in Germany.
That's another thing people kind of forget is that they were convinced the Bolsheviks were fairly sure and the communist movement in Germany. So the Jewish communist movement in Germany, they thought they were going to take the government they thought was very, very imminent there and take that government. And then they would have a huge bloc of from Germany to Russia, solid Jewish communist bloc that had been, in their eyes, unbeatable. And then they would just temporary were all in order. They made there, too. Yes. So. So will Poland fall if you've Germany and Russia are both impulsive, a country like Poland has no right. You know. Right. So. So, yeah, it's it's quite is quite crazy. And the fact that and this is another is also is another reason they hate Hitler so much. I mean, sure, they they hate him for the oppression of Jews, but he ruined this, that his movie street movement like blocked this revolution from happening in the 1920s. Yeah. They couldn't do it because the the the Gois that would have gone the gentile Germans, it would have gone to the Communists because maybe they weren't, you know, for whatever reason they had they thought they were getting screwed by capitalism, the hyperinflation, the you know, the Western powers, like basically screwing the country over, destroying the currency, et cetera. A lot of those were bait for for communists. They would have gone to them. But here comes here comes Hitler with the National Socialist Party. They're like, oh, this is actually way better. And dude, that's.
Yeah, and that's another you know, this is this is this is from Mondo Wice, which is kind of like a dissident Jewish publication. It's about the Balfour Declaration, about how how Jews internally debate this historical moment. It says somebody keenly interested in Jewish history. I have a different angle on Balfour. The declaration marked the arrival of the Zionist lobby in international affairs, that a more fice coalition that is called the Israel Lobby or the Jewish lobby announced presence with the Balfour Promise of 1917. It is one element of the Balfour history that will not be in an atomized in the press these days because it so touches on a delicate issue. Jewish influence, widely thought to be an anti-Semitic idea, but no history of Balfours complete without understanding Zionist agency in producing the colonial entitlement. No effort to rectify Balfour will be possible without reckoning with the role of a lobby in our policymaking today. But basically the article goes on to talk about, like from primary sources, the various Israeli and British and so on, historians who have access to the British archives on how they came to the conclusion that they need to do the Balfour Declaration and basically what it was like. Boy George believed that the Protocols of Zion were real and. Yeah. And so he makes these overtures just like we're talk about Modi doing the the. Yeah.

russia-insider--2020-05-13--'I Die With a Joyful Heart' - Hitler's Farewell Address to the German People

Overwhelmed by the combined armed forces of the Soviet Union , British and American empires the German armies laid down their arms on May 8 , 1945 .
The elected German chancellor and Reichstag parliamentary deputies never capitulated .
Denying the military victors the opportunity to parade his body through Red Square , the legitimate twice-elected chancellor of Germany took his own life .
Before doing so , on April 29 , he made a final address to the vanquished peoples of Europe .
This speech has never been published by conventional media .
We believe it should be published @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a volunteer , I made my modest contribution to the World War ( 1914 – 1918 ) which was forced upon the Reich , over thirty years have passed .
In these three decades , only love and loyalty to my people have guided me in all my thoughts , actions , and life .
They gave me the strength to make the most difficult decisions , such as no mortal has yet had to face .
I have exhausted my time , my working energy , and my health in these three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or anybody else in Germany wanted war in 1939 .
It was desired and instigated exclusively by those international statesmen who were either of Jewish origin or working for Jewish interests .
I have made so many offers for the reduction and elimination of armaments , which posterity can not explain away for all eternity , that the responsibility for the outbreak of this war can not rest on me .
Furthermore , I never desired that after the first terrible World War , a second war should arise against England or even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but out of the ruins of our cities and monuments of art there will arise anew the hatred for the people who alone are ultimately responsible : International Jewry and its helpers !
As late as three days before the outbreak of the German-Polish War , I proposed to the British Ambassador in Berlin a solution for the German-Polish problem , similar to the problem of the Saar area , under international control .
This offer can not be explained away , either .
It was only rejected because the responsible circles in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the expectation of business advantages , partly driven by propaganda promoted by international Jewry .
But I left no doubt about the fact that if the peoples of Europe were again only regarded as so many packages of stock shares by these international money and finance conspirators , then that race , too , which is the truly guilty party in this murderous struggle would also have to be held to account : the Jews .
I further left no doubt that this time we would not permit millions of European children @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , nor millions of grown-up men to suffer death , nor hundreds of thousands of women and children to be burned and bombed to death in their cities , without the truly guilty party having to atone for its guilt , even if through more humane means .
After six years of struggle , which in spite of all reverses will go down in history as the most glorious and most courageous manifestation of a people ’ s will to live ?
I can not separate myself from the city which is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forces are too few to permit any further resistance against the enemy ’ s assaults , and because individual resistance is rendered valueless by blinded and characterless scoundrels , I desire to share the fate that millions of others have taken upon themselves , in that I shall remain in this city .
Furthermore , I do not want to fall into the hands of enemies who for the delectation of the hate-riddled masses require a new spectacle promoted by the Jews .
I have therefore resolved to remain in Berlin and there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at the very moment when , as I believe the seat of the Fuehrer and Chancellor can no longer be defended .
I die with a joyful heart in the awareness the immeasurable deeds and achievements of our soldiers at the front , of our women at home , the achievements of our peasants and workers , and the contribution , unique in history , of our youth , which bears my name .
It goes without saying that I thank them all from the bottom of my heart and that it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everything they should not give up the struggle , but continue fighting wherever they may be , faithful to the great Clausewitz , against the enemies of the Fatherland .
From the sacrifices of our soldiers and from my own comradeship with them , there will come in one way or another into German history the seed of a brilliant renaissance of the National Socialist movement and thus the realisation of a true national community .
Many very brave men and women have resolved to link their lives to mine to the very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and finally ordered them , not to do so , but instead to take part in the continuing struggle of the nation .
I ask the commanders of the army , navy , and air force to strengthen by all possible means the spirit of resistance of our soldiers in the spirit of National Socialism , emphasising especially that I too , as founder and creator of this movement , have preferred death to cowardly flight or even capitulation .
May it be one day a part of the code of honour ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that the surrender of an area or of a town is impossible , and above all in this respect , the leaders should give a shining example of faithful devotion to duty unto death .
Several brave men have joined me by their own free will and do not wish to leave the capital of the Reich under any circumstances , but on the contrary are willing to perish with me here .
Yet I must ask them to obey my request , and in this instance place the interests of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their work and loyalty , they will remain just as close to me as companions after my death , just as I hope that my spirit will remain amongst them and will always accompany them .
Let them be hard but never unjust ; above all , let them never allow fear to counsel their actions , but may they place the honour of the nation above everything on this earth .
Finally , may they be conscious of the fact that our task of building a National Socialist state represents the labour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ places every single person under an obligation always to serve the common interest and to subordinate his own interests .
I demand of all Germans , all National Socialists , men and women and all soldiers of the Armed Forces , that they remain faithful and obedient to the new government and to their President unto death .
Above all , I charge the leadership of the nation and their followers with the strict observance of the racial laws and with merciless resistance against the universal poisoners of all peoples , international Jewry.

Overwhelmed by the combined armed forces of the Soviet Union, British and American empires the German armies laid down their arms on May 8, 1945. The elected German chancellor and Reichstag parliamentary deputies never capitulated.
Denying the military victors the opportunity to parade his body through Red Square, the legitimate twice-elected chancellor of Germany took his own life. Before doing so, on April 29, he made a final address to the vanquished peoples of Europe.
This speech has never been published by conventional media. We believe it should be published:
"Since 1914, when as a volunteer, I made my modest contribution to the World War (1914 – 1918) which was forced upon the Reich, over thirty years have passed. In these three decades, only love and loyalty to my people have guided me in all my thoughts, actions, and life. They gave me the strength to make the most difficult decisions, such as no mortal has yet had to face. I have exhausted my time, my working energy, and my health in these three decades.
It is untrue that I or anybody else in Germany wanted war in 1939. It was desired and instigated exclusively by those international statesmen who were either of Jewish origin or working for Jewish interests.
I have made so many offers for the reduction and elimination of armaments, which posterity cannot explain away for all eternity, that the responsibility for the outbreak of this war cannot rest on me.
Furthermore, I never desired that after the first terrible World War, a second war should arise against England or even against America. Centuries may pass, but out of the ruins of our cities and monuments of art there will arise anew the hatred for the people who alone are ultimately responsible: International Jewry and its helpers!
As late as three days before the outbreak of the German-Polish War, I proposed to the British Ambassador in Berlin a solution for the German-Polish problem, similar to the problem of the Saar area, under international control. This offer cannot be explained away, either. It was only rejected because the responsible circles in English politics wanted the war, partly in the expectation of business advantages, partly driven by propaganda promoted by international Jewry.
But I left no doubt about the fact that if the peoples of Europe were again only regarded as so many packages of stock shares by these international money and finance conspirators, then that race, too, which is the truly guilty party in this murderous struggle would also have to be held to account: the Jews.
I further left no doubt that this time we would not permit millions of European children of Aryan descent to die of hunger, nor millions of grown-up men to suffer death, nor hundreds of thousands of women and children to be burned and bombed to death in their cities, without the truly guilty party having to atone for its guilt, even if through more humane means.
After six years of struggle, which in spite of all reverses will go down in history as the most glorious and most courageous manifestation of a people’s will to live? I cannot separate myself from the city which is the capital of this Reich.
Because our forces are too few to permit any further resistance against the enemy’s assaults, and because individual resistance is rendered valueless by blinded and characterless scoundrels, I desire to share the fate that millions of others have taken upon themselves, in that I shall remain in this city. Furthermore, I do not want to fall into the hands of enemies who for the delectation of the hate-riddled masses require a new spectacle promoted by the Jews.
I have therefore resolved to remain in Berlin and there to choose death of my own will at the very moment when, as I believe the seat of the Fuehrer and Chancellor can no longer be defended. I die with a joyful heart in the awareness the immeasurable deeds and achievements of our soldiers at the front, of our women at home, the achievements of our peasants and workers, and the contribution, unique in history, of our youth, which bears my name.
It goes without saying that I thank them all from the bottom of my heart and that it is also my desire that in spite of everything they should not give up the struggle, but continue fighting wherever they may be, faithful to the great Clausewitz, against the enemies of the Fatherland. From the sacrifices of our soldiers and from my own comradeship with them, there will come in one way or another into German history the seed of a brilliant renaissance of the National Socialist movement and thus the realisation of a true national community.
Many very brave men and women have resolved to link their lives to mine to the very end. I have requested them, and finally ordered them, not to do so, but instead to take part in the continuing struggle of the nation.
I ask the commanders of the army, navy, and air force to strengthen by all possible means the spirit of resistance of our soldiers in the spirit of National Socialism, emphasising especially that I too, as founder and creator of this movement, have preferred death to cowardly flight or even capitulation.

Several brave men have joined me by their own free will and do not wish to leave the capital of the Reich under any circumstances, but on the contrary are willing to perish with me here. Yet I must ask them to obey my request, and in this instance place the interests of the nation above their own feelings.
Through their work and loyalty, they will remain just as close to me as companions after my death, just as I hope that my spirit will remain amongst them and will always accompany them. Let them be hard but never unjust; above all, let them never allow fear to counsel their actions, but may they place the honour of the nation above everything on this earth.
Finally, may they be conscious of the fact that our task of building a National Socialist state represents the labour of the coming centuries, and this places every single person under an obligation always to serve the common interest and to subordinate his own interests.

Above all, I charge the leadership of the nation and their followers with the strict observance of the racial laws and with merciless resistance against the universal poisoners of all peoples, international Jewry.” ~ Berlin, 29 April 1945, 4 AM.
