Funding the Russian Revolution

A Jewish Marxist sympathizer by the original name of

Lev Davanovich Bromstein was living in New

York City as of 1917,

having been publicly expelled from Germany a few

years before.

He would be given $10,000 from the Rockefellers and a

passport arranged by President Wilson.

Lev would be set aboard on the U.S. Christian

Ford to set sail for Petrograd, Russia,

that he might incite a revolution.

Lieutenant Colonel John Bain McLean, known for his ties

to Canadian intelligence, would publish in his magazine the

following.

Originally the British found through Russian associates that Kerensky, Lenin,

and some lesser leaders were practically in German pay as early as

1915, and they uncovered in 1916 the

connections with Trotsky, living in New York.

From that time he was closely watched by the bomb squad.

In the early part of 1916 a German official sailed into New

York,

British intelligence officials accompanying him.

He, Trotsky, was held up at Halifax,

but on their British intelligence instruction

he was passed on with profuse apologies for the unnecessary delay.

After much maneuvering he arrived in a dirty little newspaper office in the

slums, and there he found Trotsky, from whom

he bore important instructions.

From June 1916 until they passed him on to the British,

the New York bomb squad never lost touch with Trotsky.

They discovered that his real name was Bronstein, and that he was

German,

not a Russian.

Having arrived in Russia with the help of the U.S.

and British, Trotsky would later receive the company of

Vladimir Lenin.

Lenin, who was in Switzerland, was put aboard

a sealed train in order to pass safely through Germany

along with his entourage of revolutionaries.

Two German officers would ensure the silent transport made it

to Russia safely. These revolutionaries would of

course need funding for their operation,

provided by none other than Western banking interests.

In 1915 the American International Corporation was

formed to fund the Russian Revolution.

Its directors represented the interests of the Rockefellers,

Rothschilds, DuPont, Kuhn, Loeb, Harriman, and the Federal

Reserve.

They included Frank Vanderlip and George Herbert Walker.

Rothschild's man Jacob Schiff would personally deposit $20

million to revolutionaries,

and as recorded in the Congressional Record of September 2,

1919, Elihu Root, lawyer for Kuhn and

Loeb, and former Secretary of State, would

deposit another $20 million.

Between European and American banking interests, they would

create the great communist menace of the 20th century,

for which millions would die in domestic purgings and foreign

wars in the years to come.
