Richard Poe: How the British Invented Communism (and Blamed it on the Jews)

The interview features Richard Poe discussing his book, "How the British Invented Communism and Blamed it on the Jews," where he delves into the complex historical relationship between Britain, Russia, and the origins of communism. The conversation begins with Poe explaining the impetus for his exploration of this topic, which stems from a growing public interest in the Bolshevik Revolution and the disproportionate emphasis on the Jewish role within communism. He references previous works, particularly by Dr. Stanley Monteith, who discussed the British propaganda efforts that sought to displace blame for the Russian Revolution onto the Jewish population, a narrative Poe argues is historically inaccurate given the British involvement in supporting the Bolsheviks.Poe reveals a personal connection to the Russian Revolution, discussing his grandparents who lived through the turmoil and the familial taboo surrounding their experiences. This background, alongside his thorough research into the British government's covert operations, shapes his perspective on the geopolitical influences surrounding the Russian Revolution. He elaborates that various factions within the British government used propaganda to obfuscate truths about the revolutions, laying the groundwork for a narrative that would ultimately serve British interests.The dialogue shifts as Poe outlines the role of key figures like Leon Trotsky, whom he suggests was a British agent. He discusses Trotsky's arrest in Canada during World War I and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his release, which allowed him to return to Russia and become a leader in the Bolshevik movement. Poe insists that the notion of revolutions being spontaneous uprisings is misleading; instead, he posits that they are usually orchestration from elitist groups with support from foreign intelligence agencies.As the interview progresses, Poe examines key historical events, such as the failures of the Gallipoli campaign, arguing that the British may have deliberately allowed that defeat to prevent Russian access to Constantinople and the Dardanelles Strait. He delves into the historical "Great Game" between Britain and Russia, which involved strategies of manipulation and influence fueling a larger narrative of world power dynamics. Notably, he highlights British Prime Minister Lloyd George's support for the Bolshevik regime as a means to fracture the Russian Empire, demonstrating how this was consistent with British imperial interests.Poe contends that British interventions, like the support for Bolshevism, were historically strategic rather than ideologically motivated. He posits that Britain's need for counterbalancing powers against Germany translated into a willingness to support groups that could destabilize Russia. The conversation further explores how Trotsky's role as a revolutionary leader intersected with covert British interests, ultimately raising questions about the ongoing influence of these historical dynamics on our contemporary understanding of global politics.Throughout the session, Poe expresses his respect for figures like Winston Churchill while critically examining their roles within these geopolitical machinations. He articulates the complex motivations behind military strategies and political alliances during tumultuous periods, drawing parallels to modern interpretations of global rivalries. By the end of the discussion, Poe emphasizes that the legacy of the Bolshevik Revolution and the machinations of British imperialism continue to inform present-day power struggles, leaving open-ended questions about the effectiveness and outcomes of these historical intrigues.In summation, the interview presents a rich tapestry of historical analysis interwoven with personal narratives, offering listeners an accessible examination of how the interrelations between nations and political ideologies have shaped the course of modern history. Poe's arguments challenge conventional narratives and invite a reevaluation of the roles played by various national and ethnic groups in revolutionary contexts.Follow Richard Poe:𝕏 x.com/RealRichardPoeWebsite: http://www.richardpoe.com/

Chanel Rion: Inside the White House Briefing Room and why NWHCA Heralds a New Era in Press Freedom

In an engaging discussion on "Hearts of Oak," a journalist recounts her unexpected transition from law school aspirations to a career in journalism, sparked by serendipitous encounters that led to a role as a weekend White House correspondent. She describes the challenges conservative media faces in a predominantly left-leaning environment, likening the White House briefing room to a high school clique. Frustrated by exclusion from the traditional White House Correspondents Association (WHCA), she founded the National White House Correspondents Association (NWHCA) to promote diversity in media representation. The conversation also explores the implications of modern technology, like drones, on Second Amendment rights, highlighting the need for an evolved approach to media and civil liberties in contemporary America.

Jeff Younger: How Trump and Crypto are Turbocharging a Fathers Fight against the Trans Industry

In this episode, we explore a father's intense legal and personal battle for custody of his son in the face of his ex-wife's push for what he describes as chemical castration. Our guest shares recent developments from his case, highlighting the lack of transparency and procedural injustices in the California family court system. He discusses Judge Mark Juhas's ruling and criticizes the judiciary for being influenced by money and special interests, painting a picture of a system that operates more like an oligarchy than a fair arbiter.
The conversation expands to discuss the broader implications for parental rights, particularly concerning decisions about gender identity and medical interventions for minors. The guest connects his personal struggle with larger political movements, advocating for increased accountability in child welfare and medical practices around transgender issues.
We also delve into innovative advocacy methods, like the "Save James Coin," where cryptocurrency is used not just for funding but for community activism. The guest offers insights into the current U.S. political landscape, discussing President Trump's recent focus on parental rights and how this might influence legislative changes.
The episode concludes with an introduction to Global Occurrences Media, the guest's new venture into independent journalism aimed at covering critical issues like medical ethics, family rights, and socio-political impacts on gender discussions. Listeners are encouraged to get involved, stay informed, and support movements advocating for children's welfare and parental rights through new platforms and technologies.
