Britain, along with France, might well have declared war against Germany in September 1939. But that didn't lead to much fighting for the next eight months. There was some action at sea, during which the British Royal Navy put an end to German surface raiders, though it had still to face the worst threat to its maritime trade, which came not from ships on the surface, but from submarines. On land, in the west, there was practically no action, in what came to be known as ‘the phoney war'. It wasn't phoney for the Poles of course, who were being bombed and invaded, first only by the Germans from the west, but soon by the Soviets from the east too, rather confirming what many suspected, that the Nazi-Soviet pact included a secret protocol dividing up Poland between the two countries. The Pact also provided the Soviets with the confidence to invade Finland which they did at the end of November. Britain and France decided to come to the Finns' aid by landing troops at the Norwegian port of Narvik, but it took them so long that Finland had been defeated, after some heroic resistance, before the Allies could help. However, the Allies went on with the idea of landing at Narvik,to cut Germany's supplies of iron ore from Sweden, most of which went through the port. Unfortunately, they took so long and were so indiscreet in their plans, that Hitler pre-empted them, invading and occupying Denmark and southern Norway, and getting troops to Narvik first, able to resist the Allied landings when they finally happened. Though marginal in itself, the Narvik fiasco prompted a major debate in the British House of Commons, in which the government, although it won a final vote of confidence, did so with so small a majority that Chamberlain felt major changes had to be made. He decided it was time to form a national government, in coalition with Labour and the Liberals. That, though, proved impossible to pull off if he stayed on as Prime Minister. He stood down and, as the front runner to replace him, Halifax, said he wasn't prepared to take the post, it inevitably fell to Winston Churchill to shoulder the burden. Labour and the Liberals joined him. So it was together behind him, as depicted by David Low in a new cartoon, that they faced the next, far worse crisis that was about to hit Britain and France. Illustration: 'All behind you, Winston', cartoon by David Low, May 1940. In the front row from left: Churchill, Attlee, Ernie Bevin and Herbert Morrison. Behind Churchill is Chamberlain.

We start the final episode on Joseph Stalin as he gains full control of the Soviet Union. Prior to WW2 in Europe, Stalin consolidated power by wiping out a hefty portion of his military command structure along with anyone he perceived as a threat to his new rule. Well once Hitler decides to go back on the Nazi-Soviet non aggression pact, this decision comes back to bite Stalin almost immediately. Without experienced battlefield commanders the Russians are barely able to mount a resistance as the Nazi's charge to Moscow. Well we know in the end the Nazi's are beaten by the Russian winter and Stalin remained in power and was seen as one of the "heroes" of the Allies. But without an external enemy Stalin turns his attention to the enemy within, his own people and the new Cold War.

German Blood, Slavic Soil: How Nazi Königsberg Became Soviet Kaliningrad (Cornell UP, 2023) reveals how Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, twentieth-century Europe's two most violent revolutionary regimes, transformed a single city and the people who lived there. During World War II, this single city became an epicenter in the apocalyptic battle between their two regimes. Drawing on sources and perspectives from both sides, Nicole Eaton explores not only what Germans and Soviets thought about each other, but also how the war brought them together. She details an intricate timeline, first describing how Königsberg, a seven-hundred-year-old German port city on the Baltic Sea and lifelong home of Immanuel Kant, became infamous in the 1930s as the easternmost bastion of Hitler's Third Reich and the launching point for the Nazis' genocidal war in the East. She then describes how, after being destroyed by bombing and siege warfare in 1945, Königsberg became Kaliningrad, the westernmost city of Stalin's Soviet Union. Königsberg/Kaliningrad is the only city to have been ruled by both Hitler and Stalin as their own―in both wartime occupation and as integral territory of the two regimes. German Blood, Slavic Soil presents an intimate look into the Nazi-Soviet encounter during World War II. Eaton impressively shows how this outpost city, far from the centers of power in Moscow and Berlin, became a closed-off space where Nazis and Stalinists each staged radical experiments in societal transformation and were forced to reimagine their utopias in dialogue with the encounter between the victims and proponents of the two regimes. Nicole Eaton is Associate Professor of History at Boston College. Eric Grube is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Boston College. He also received his PhD from Boston College in the summer of 2022. He studies modern German and Austrian history, with a special interest in right-wing paramilitary organizations across interwar Bavaria and Austria. “Pro-Fascist, Anti-Nazi: Austrian Catholics weaponized religion against Hitler but for fascism," Commonweal, 2023 "Borderland Brothers: Austrofascist Competition and Cooperation with National Socialists, 1936–1938," Journal of Austrian Studies, 2023 "Casualties of War?

Of all the despots of our time, Joseph Stalin lasted the longest and wielded the greatest power, and his secrets have been the most jealously guarded—even after his death. In this book, the first to draw from recently released archives, Robert Conquest gives us Stalin as a child and student; as a revolutionary and communist theoretician; as a political animal skilled in amassing power and absolutely ruthless in maintaining it. He presents the landmarks of Stalin's rule: the class with Lenin; collectivization; the Great Terror; the Nazi-Soviet pact and the Nazi-Soviet war; the anti-Semitic campaign that preceded his death; and the legacy he left behind. Distilling a lifetime's study, weaving detail, analysis, and research, Conquest has given us an extraordinarily powerful narrative of this incredible figure. “Thoughtful and thorough and shot through with insight.”—The Washington Post Book World “Definitive . . . a magnificent, even poetic, act of historical retribution.”—The New Leader “Brilliant . . . this book probably is the most cogent and readable account of Stalin's life yet published.”—The San Diego Union

Today, August 23 is known as Black Ribbon Day, the Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism. On this day, in 1939, German foreign minister J. von Ribbentrop and Soviet foreign minister V. Molotov signed a bilateral non-aggression pact that included illegal Secret Protocols, thereby paving the way for WWII and division of Central and Eastern Europe. British historian and author Roger Moorhouse shares his insights on the impact and consequences of this sinister Soviet-Nazi pact. “The Baltic States are particularly grievously affected by the Secret Protocols of the Nazi-Soviet pact, because, of course, that was the instrument by which the Baltic States were incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1939-1940” - explains the historian.

Pre WW2 – Money and the incentive for war History is written by the victor – the focus is often the war itself – but not what happens behind the scene - How has war shaped the economy? – Last week went through tax changes to economy This week – want to talk about the behind scene to war – financial interests and those who carry them out Governments wage wars – the citizen fight them It is Governments which wage war with each other – Nation states, or NATO – Used to be directly – Nation v Nation– Now also indirectly – pre-cold war – nations went to war with one another – now, nations fund other countries to do it on their behalf But who else is funding the wars? Used to be the Monarchs (Governments) directly – not much in the way of banks/interconnected financial system in medieval periods – borrowed from other lords and money was gold/resources With the expansion of credit and fractal banking methods from Napoleonic period – bankers started gaining the ability to carry the monarchs (nations) through wars Two big changes here – 1) funding could come from other nations and banks 2) funding could come from money you don’t have - Source from Bankers and eventually central bankers (which fund governments war budgets) Two stages – Before central banks – Governments relied on private bankers - One prominent family which made their fortune from war – Rothschilds – there were others – but only one made a movie about themselves due to the public hating them – PR spin Patriarch – Mayer made his fortune through facilitating payments between the royals and mercenaries – Prussians in Frankfurt – Famously said: Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws! Movie - House of Rothschild movie from 1934 – 20th Century Pictures (now fox) – 3 producers funded by Rothschild made this movie – academy awards – can go watch it – few inaccuracies – but the major one is the ending True parts – that in the European wars transferring the balance of payments was dangerous – can be taken away So sent 5 sons to major financial hubs – Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna, Milan, London – payments could be made in IOUs – someone in London needs money – can issue it in that country and not have to transport from Germany Ending of the movie - Panic at waterloo – Lord wellington v napoleon after getting free from Elba – British Bonds dumped by Nathan Rothschild – create panic – bought back on the penny – movie just had the second part – him being the saviour and fighting the war with money – either way – became the richest man on earth overnight -owning most of the British Governments debtor obligations Along with Global Central Banks – Monetary institutions like the BIS and IMF – created out of necessity due to wars BIS - Swiss based Bank for International Settlements - creation in 1930 was, according to the BIS, primarily to settle reparation payments – payments imposed on Germany following the First World War without WWI – a major crisis event – there would have been no mandate for the BIS to exist. As well as settling German reparation payments, the BIS was also recognised from the outset as a forum for central bankers – the first of its kind – where they could speak candidly and direct the course of global monetary policy. Hjalmar Schacht - was Reichsbank President from 1933 to 1939 and Hitler’s finance minister, was a BIS director. tried and acquitted of war crimes following WWII. Walther Funk, a former Nazi economics minister and Reichsbank President from 1939 to 1945, was also a BIS director. Funk worked closely with Heinrich Himmler, who was chief of the SS - also pioneer of a 1940 paper called, ‘Economic Reorganisation of Europe‘, which was endorsed by the Nazi leadership and is stored in the BIS archive. the parallels between the plans of the Nazi leadership for a post-war European economy and the subsequent process of European monetary and economic integration were real‘. In other words, the objectives of post WWII internationalists mirrored those of the Nazi regime – BIS was involved in both IMF - would have been no mandate for the IMF to exist were it not for WWII - Fund was founded in 1944 (off the back of World War Two) at Brenton Woods conference - became part of what internationalists call the ‘rules based global order‘. All have expansion capacity for the lending capacity to fund ever lasting wars The thinkers of the day gave unification and one global system as a way to avoid conflicts like world wars - What these thinkers overlooked was that democratic societies have little say in wars by proxy and what the financial system wants – which is undemocratic Banks now have incentives – so democracy doesn’t do anything as banks aren’t democratic Politicians also act on the behalf of those who back them – central bankers or general bankers War Bonds – Issued by banks to fund the wars of nations – massive profits made out of these -   Example of political leaders carrying out the bidding of the bankers who owned them through personal debts - Another example - Churchill – Prime Minster for ww2 – led Britain into both World Wars with his famous ‘V’ salute Some of this information may come as a surprise – as he is revered by many people as the greatest ever Englishman – movies made about him – but I find it more interesting to read the primary sources from those who knew him and not reinterpretations in movies from Hollywood Churchill has been exposed as a puppet of bankers and served their interest before that of Britain and the millions who lost their lives Back in WW1 – he was Britain’s youngest-ever First Sea Lord – thanks to daddy’s connections - Lord Randolph Churchill he unwisely advocated an amphibious landing in Turkey (ottomans) to relieve pressure on the Western Front. A total of 500,000 British, ANZAC, French and Indian troops ultimately took part in the doomed battle of Gallipoli. Between the amphibious landing in February 1915 and their evacuation in December they suffered 50% casualties-with nothing to show for the immense human cost – stripped of command after that He clawed his way back into politics – changing parties and positions 4 times along the way but was elected Prime Minister his skills were on offer on several more occasions for the right price - known in the House of Commons as ‘The Shithouse’ from his initials WC – Now – moving on to WW2 - Quote - “The unforgivable sin of Hitler’s German was to develop a new economic system by which the international bankers were deprived of their profits” Nazi’s seized the Rothschild bank in Austria (Vienna) – Was fully aware of the history of funding both sides of the war Churchill didn’t say that the killing of millions was unforgivable – it was the depriving of his friends from their profits Well known fact back them – Churchill's family was deep in debt to the Rothschild’s – along with being family friends Lord Randolph Churchill- close friend of Nathan Rothschild - received "extensive loans" from the Rothschild's He accepted £150,000 to bring Britain into World War II for the Rothschild bankers against Germany, and to latterly drag in the USA Incentives for banks was money – previous episode on JP Morgan’s involvement with WW1 and the USA – would have lost a lot of money if Germany had won – Churchill was so well-known for this helping the bankers that at the beginning of the war, before they entered the fray, FDR told him, “if anything happens to any American ships, our first thoughts will be of you British.” Sir Anthony Blunt - The master-spy, Rothschild operative - said on record that Hitler was negotiating for peace right through the war, and sent his deputy Rudolph Hess to Britain to pursue a peace which Churchill continually refused. Rothschild’s advice to Churchill was for ‘total destruction’ Despite popular belief – Hitler never wanted to go to war with France or England – Hitler was a rabid Anglophile - and did not want war with Britain (or France) at all – Why would he let 400,000 UK and French soldiers retreat from Dunkirk? He saw the Brits as his allies – the royals were Nazi supporters after all History is fascinating - The Nazi/Soviet pact resulted in Russia and Germany splitting Poland in half, yet Churchill decided to take Britain to war with Germany and made Russia an ally – All while Stalin was carrying out his own Holocaust on a bigger scale – between 1932 and 1933 he starved/mascaraed 7m Ukrainian Christians to death – but Churchill entered into an agreement with him before the Holocaust even happened – remember – Churchill thought Hitler’s greatest sin was not allowing international bankers to make their profits – sheds new light on true motives This made no sense whatsoever to the intelligence services. Of course, the general assumption and indeed perception of ‘how the world really works,’ is that politicians always do what is right and proper for their country and its peoples, but this is far from being the case – But he was just serving the interest of the bankers – As Stalin didn’t get in the way of their profit making – even though he was doing the same things the Nazis did but 10 years earlier - Want to read something from Admiral Sir Barry Edward Domvile - was a high-ranking Royal Navy officer who was interned during the Second World War for being a Nazi sympathiser – cause he didn’t want to go to war “I had a strong suspicion that there was some mysterious power at work behind the scenes controlling the actions of the figures visibly taking part in the Government of the country. We always vaguely referred to this hidden control amongst ourselves as the Treasury … This mysterious power … which has wielded such a baneful influence in world history for many centuries. Ponder on this… on April 20th Hitler’s birthday, because his war with the usurers, asset strippers and bankers, brought Russia to threaten both Germany and England, Churchill took us into WWII, Poland was just the excuse, the same as in all the wars now. We fight them for the bankers.”  Arthur Ransome - author and expert on Russian affairs, having cultivated friendships with both Lenin and Trotsky. He was a high-ranking MI6 operative with the codename S76. Reported first-hand from Russia that Churchill was working for Rothschild interests, not Britain’s. Many British researchers have long-suspected this to be the case, and Walter Thompson, Churchill’s bodyguard, said Churchill believed himself to be more at risk of assassination for betraying his own people in Britain, than from the enemies he made abroad – that is very telling – was more afraid of his own people finding out the reason he was so adamant to go to war with Germany when most didn’t want to Ultimately, treaties and international organizations cannot ensure world peace – While there is financial interests and politicians willy to carry them out – there will be wars – Wars have shaped the face of the global economy – from taxes, to institutions (IMF) to the very stability of a country   Now that the financial interests have been explained a bit - Next Episode: Examples of proxy wars – funding both sides Talk about the US politicians and Media Reaction to the Kurds – anarcho-Communist breakaway group from Turkey Washington Post's headline describing former ISIS leader al-Baghdadi as a 'religious scholar’ – who just happened to burn people alive in cages and responsible for the death of thousand

On the Jewish Question - Karl Marx, anti-Semitism and the War against the West The Art and Science of American Money Book Page Books by Chuck Morse Column Newsmax.com Nazi Agent Provocateurs? There was something about the Nazis and the white the supremacists at Charlottesville that was just too convenient. There was something about how the legacy media amplified the presence of these motley fringe groups, making them famous in advance, that was just too suspicious. The use of agent provocateurs, or provocative agents, is an age-old classic left-wing tactic. I present this thesis not as a conspiracy theory but simply as an opinion and as an observation of what appears to me to be obvious. As a Jew who had family members murdered in the Holocaust, and as the author of books on the Holocaust including Was Hitler a Leftist, I have dedicated many hours studying this topic. The late author and journalist Dr. Samuel L. Blumenfeld wrote an article that in my opinion documents how the American Nazi Party, established in 1960, was a communist front and how their founder, George Lincoln Rockwell was a communist agent provocateur. This becomes obvious to any casual observation of Nazi ideology. Rockwell, who was friendly with Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad of the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist group, was a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy who had attended Brown University and who ran a publication for the military. He was a slick and sophisticated operator who was a master at public relations. Where did he get the money to stage these slick rallies that, while sparsely attended, got a lion’s share of media attention? The liberal media was more than anxious to oblige his small band of misfits by launching them into the national spotlight where they were hoisted up as specimens representing the conservative movement that was emerging at the time. Even if Rockwell was not an agent provocateur, he and the communists found a common enemy in the conservative movement that they both sought to subvert and undermine. David Duke was a protégé of George Lincoln Rockwell, as he spouts the same racist anti-Christian anti-Capitalist propaganda. His ideas, and those of his ilk, strangely resonate with the left-wing racial identity movement that is becoming so prevalent on American college campuses today. Like Rockwell, in my opinion, he is a bit too slick to be believed. Now, as if out of nowhere, these obscure nutjobs are getting national publicity. I wonder why. The legacy media fans the flames by helping them stage a violent conflict in Charlottesville against the other side of the scissor, the communist Antifa. Once again, these nobodies, these pagan new-age racists, are being held up by the legacy media as conservatives. Nothing could be further from the truth. But their promotion of this fringe fits the narrative against President Trump and his “base” and these wackos are more than happy to play along. Donald Trump and his “base” are the exact opposite of the Nazis as they embrace reducing the authoritarian nanny state and promoting individual freedom. Nazism is, after all National Socialism which is slightly to the right of Communism or International Socialism. Both are un-American and both are to the left of most American liberals. Let’s hope that responsible investigative journalists consider the background of these phonies. It has already been revealed that one of the main instigators at Charlottesville, Jason Kessler, was a former Obama supporter and Democratic activist who suddenly converted to white supremacy after the election of Donald Trump. Hmmmm….I contend that it is not going too far out on a limb to suggest that there are other phony agitators of his ilk that are out there. Was Hitler a Leftist? includes the following themes: * The leftist nature of Nazism. * The anti-Semitism of the Left and its influence on the development of Nazism. * Apostate Jews and the Bolshevik Revolution. * The Nazi-Soviet alliance * Nazi-Soviet agents and the Holocaust.
