CHAPTER EIGHT
The Russian Revolution — 1917

In January, 1910, nineteen leaders of the World Revolutionary Movement met in London.  This meeting is recorded as “The January Plenum of the Central Committee”.  Ways and means were discussed to bring about greater unity.  Lenin was again pressed to give up his policy of financial independence.  He responded by burning the Five Hundred Ruble notes left over from the Tiflis bank robbery.  Lenin was convinced it was just about impossible to cash the notes without getting caught by the police.

The Plenum decided to accept the newspaper “Sotsial Demokrata” as the general party publication.  The Bolsheviks appointed Lenin and Zinoviev, and the Mensheviks, Martov and Dan as editors.  Kamenev was appointed to assist Trotsky edit “Vienna Pravda”.  The Plenum also discussed the pattern the world revolutionary effort should take.  The delegates considered the possible repercussions certain contemplated political assassinations would bring about.  The policy of the party was set.  The Central Committee was ordered to prepare the Temples and Lodges of the Grand Orient for action.  The members were to be made active proselytizing their revolutionary and atheistic ideology.^[10]

The Party Line was to unite all revolutionary bodies for the purpose of bringing all the big capitalistic countries into war with each other so that the terrific losses suffered, the high taxation imposed, and the hardships endured by the masses of the population, would make the majority of the working classes react favourably to the suggestion of a revolution to end wars.  When all countries had been Sovietized then the Secret Powers would form a Totalitarian Dictatorship and their identity need remain secret no longer.  It is possible that only Lenin knew the secret aims and ambitions of the Illuminati who moulded revolutionary action to suit their purposes.

The revolutionary leaders were to organize their undergrounds in all countries so as to be ready to take over their nation’s political system and economy; the International Bankers were to extend the ramifications of their agencies right around the world.  It has been shown that Lenin became active in revolutionary circles in 1894.  It has also been stated that he decided to throw in his lot with the International Bankers because he doubted the ability of the men who led the Jewish dominated national revolutionary parties to consolidate their victories when gained.  In view of these statements it is necessary to review revolutionary events from 1895 to 1917.

The Empress of Austria was assassinated in 1898;  King Humbert in 1900;  President McKinley in 1901;  the Grand Duke Sergius of Russia in 1905, and the King and Crown Prince of Portugal in 1908.  To prove that the Illuminati acting through the Grand Orient Masons were responsible for these political assassinations the following evidence is submitted.

The leaders of the World Revolutionary Movement, meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, thought it was necessary to remove King Carlos of Portugal so they could establish a Republic in Portugal so, in 1907, they ordered his assassination.  In December 1907, Megalhaes Lima — the head of Portuguese Grand Orient Masonry went to Paris to lecture to the Masonic Lodges.  His subject was “Portugal, the overthrow of the Monarchy, and the need of a republican form of government”.  A few weeks later King Carlos and his son, the Crown Prince, were assassinated.

Continental Masons boasted of this success.  Furnemont, Grand Orator of the Grand Orient of Belgium, said on February 12, 1911 :  “Do you recall the deep feeling of pride which we all felt at the brief announcement of the Portuguese Revolution ?  In a few hours the throne had been brought down, the people triumphed, and the republic was proclaimed.  For the uninitiated, it was a flash of lightning in a clear sky... But we, my brothers, we understood.  We knew the marvellous organization of our Portuguese brothers, their ceaseless zeal, their uninterrupted work.  We possessed the secret of that glorious event.”^[11]

The leaders of the World Revolutionary Movement, and the top-level officials of continental Freemasonry, met in Switzerland in 1912.  It was during this meeting that they reached the decision to assassinate the Archduke Francis Ferdinand in order to bring about World War One.  The actual date on which the murder was to be committed was left in abeyance because the cold blooded plotters did not consider the time was quite ripe for his murder to provide the maximum political repercussions.  On September 15th, 1912 the “Revue Internationale des Sociétés Secretes” edited by M. Jouin, published the following words on pages 787-788 “Perhaps light will be shed one day on these words spoken by a high Swiss Freemason.  While discussing the subject of the heir to the throne of Austria he said :  ‘The Archduke is a remarkable man.  It is a pity that he is condemned.  He will die on the steps of the throne.’”

Light was shed on those words at the trial of the assassins who murdered the heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife, on June 28th, 1914.  This act of violence committed in Sarajevo, was the spark that touched off the blaze that was developed into World War One.  Pharos’ shorthand notes of the Military Trial is a most enlightening document.  They provide further evidence that the international bankers used the Grand Orient Lodges to bring about World War One, as they used them in 1787-1789 to bring about the French Revolution.  On October 12, 1914, the president of the military court questioned Cabrinovic, who threw the first bomb at the Archduke’s car.

The President :  “Tell me something more about the motives.  Did you know, before deciding to attempt the assassination, that Tankosic and Ciganovic were Freemasons ?  Had the fact that you and they were Freemasons an influence on your resolve ?”^[12]

Cabrinovic :  “Yes”.

The President :  “Did you receive from them the mission to carry out the assassination ?”

Cabrinovic :  “I received from no one the mission to carry out the assassination.  Freemasonry had to do with it because it strengthened my intention.  In Freemasonry it is permitted to kill.  Ciganovic told me that the Freemasons had condemned the Archduke Franz Ferdinand to death MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE.”

Add to this evidence the further evidence of Count Czerin, an intimate friend of the Archduke.  He says in “Im-Welt-Krieg” — “The Archduke knew quite well that the risk of an attempt on his life was imminent.  A year before the war he informed me that the Freemasons had resolved on his death.”

Having succeeded in bringing about a World War, the leaders of the Revolutionary Movement proceeded to use the very fact to convince the industrial workers, and the men in the armed forces, that the war was a capitalistic war.  They agitated.  They criticized everything possible.  They blamed the various governments for everything that went wrong.  The International “Capitalists” were directed by the Illuminati who remained discreetly in the background, unsuspected, and unharmed.^[13]

Because Russia had only emerged from the disastrous war with Japan a few years previously it was a comparatively simple matter for the trained agitators amongst the Mensheviks to create an atmosphere of doubt, suspicion, and unrest in the minds of the Russian workers, and finally amongst the troops in 1914-1916.  By January 1917 the Russian Imperial Armies had suffered nearly 3,000,000 casualties.  The cream of Russia’s manhood had died.

Lenin and Martov were in Switzerland, the neutral ground upon which all international plots are hatched out.  Trotsky was organizing the hundreds of ex-Russian revolutionaries who had found refuge in the United States.  He was particularly active in New York’s East Side.^[14]  The leaders of the Mensheviks were carrying on their subversive policy in Russia.  Their first objective was to overthrow the power of the Tzar.  Their opportunity came in January 1917.  Cleverly carried out sabotage in the communication systems, the department of transport, and the ministry of supply, resulted in a serious food shortage in St. Petersburg.  This happened at the time when the population was swollen so far above its normal size, due to the influx into the city of industrial workers needed for the war effort.  February, 1917, was a bad month.  Food rationing was introduced.  On March 5th, general unrest was evident.  Bread lines were growing.  On March 6th, the streets became crowded with unemployed.  Cossack troops were brought into the city.  The Tzar was still at the front visiting the troops.^[15]

On March 7th, the Jewish leaders of the Menshevik party organized the women to put on street demonstrations as a protest over the bread shortage.^[16]

On March 8th, the women staged the demonstration.  The revolutionary leaders then took a hand.  Selected groups staged diversionary demonstrations.  Gangs appeared here and there singing revolutionary songs and raising Red Flags.  At the corner of Nevsky Prospekt, and the St. Catherine Canal, the Mounted Police and Cossacks dispersed the crowds without inflicting any casualties.  The crowds who gathered around those who raised the Red Flags and cried out for revolution weren’t even fired on.  It looked as if definite orders had been given to avoid, at all cost, a repetition of what happened on Bloody Sunday, 1905.^[17]

On March 9th the Nevsky Prospekt from Catherine Canal to Nicolai Station was jammed with milling crowds which became bolder under the urgings of agitators.  Cossack cavalry cleared the street.  Some were trampled but the troops only used the flat of their sabres.  At no time were fire-arms used.  This tolerance infuriated the revolutionary leaders and the agitators were directed to increase their efforts to bring the people into physical conflict with the police and troops.  During the night the revolutionary leaders set up machine-guns in hidden positions throughout the city.
