Everything's there. Want to welcome everyone back to our reading
of two hundred Years Together by Alexander Soulshanisen. This is
episode one hundred, that's of Johnson. How are you doing?

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh? This is a This is a big deal to me.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I've never been this deep into a book in my
entire life. Anybody, Uh, this has been This has been extraordinary.
And people who've been listening from the very beginning, they're
getting an education that very few people have, and especially
what we're doing now. Now Stanley's at my feet, so

(02:31):
I can't stretch my legs out. He's out like a
like a log though, so I can't, you know, speaking
of getting older, he's he's just over ten and he
falls in. He's ahead of the animals in the household.
He keeps very strict the counting of everybody, so so
he kind of plops down wherever he wants. He does
this thing where someone is in one of his sleeping spots.

(02:56):
He's a big boy. He just goes over there and
stares and the little cat, usually one of the younger kittens,
look looks up and he doesn't say, we're just stairs,
and then eventually they get down. So that's what kind
of a what kind of a sociology of the cat hierarchy,
feline hierarchy we have around here, and of course the
dogs are totally intimidated by her, by him, most cats,

(03:17):
I guess that's hious. But yeah, he's he's a very
strict you know, dogs form packs, cats form hierarchies, and
Stanley's hierarchy is very strict. But right now he is
snoring between my feet, so i'm i'm I can't stretch out.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
It might be a big problem. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
All right, let's jump in, all right, picking up where
we left off last time. Looks like we're going to
finish this chapter on the Gulags and then we're going
to get into the Russian German War. However, my camps
were different, spanning from the great bell Lamore to the

(04:01):
tiny one hundred and twenty first Camp district of the
fifteenth OLP of Moscow's UI Clk, which left behind a
not inconspicuous semi circular building at Kaluga's Gate and Moscow.
Out there, our entire life was directed and trampled by
three leading idiots, Solomon Solomanov, a chief accountant, David Berstein,

(04:25):
first an educator and later a work assigning clerk, and
Isaac Bursheater earlier in exactly the same way, Solomonov and
Bursheater ruled over the camp at the Moscow Highway Institute MHI.
Note that all this happened under the auspices of a
Russian camp commander, one Ensign Mironov.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
For those who haven't heard previous episodes. In an idiot,
he means the word in the Greek sense, the way
that Aristotle use the word somebody who is not a
part of society, either because they're too extraordinary or too stupid.
They're they're outside of it, And in this case it

(05:09):
means that they're not really they're they're within the camp,
but they do their own thing. We get something like
idiosyncratic terms like this from it. So so that's what
that's what idiot means here, and that's what it meant
when it was a medical term many years ago, and
it's not used anymore. But but so now, not only

(05:30):
do you have Jews controlling the camps from the top levels,
you have Jewish inmates controlling the camps from the inside,
and the idiotis from the camp level. You know, we're
overwhelmingly Jewish, and this is one of the first things
that God's souls too, needs them in trouble when he
published the Google Archipelago, because you know, he never he didn't.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
He didn't say, oh my god, they're all Jews.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
He just mentioned all their names and and that was
that was sufficient. So Jewish control was at numerous levels.
And keep in mind too that the camp system was everywhere.
I mean they were everywhere. Camps were everywhere, and they
did they had all kinds of specializations. It wasn't just

(06:17):
you know guys, you know, busting rocks with a pick
or something like that. You had scientific you had everything
you could think of military. The camps, you know, specialized
in different things, and they became a big part of
the Soviet economy. So I know I said that recently,
but in case someone's just tuning in, the word idiot

(06:38):
doesn't mean what we normally used the word.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
As all three of them came up before my eyes
and to get positions for them. In each case, their
Russian predecessors were instantly removed from the posts. Salamonov was
sent in first. He confidently seized a proper position and
quickly got on the right side of the ensign. I think,

(07:00):
using food and money from outside. Soon after that, the
wretched Bursheiter was set in from MHI with an accompanying
note quote to use him only in the common labor category,
a quite unusual situation for a domestic criminal, which probably
meant substantial delinquency. He was about fifty years old, short, fat,

(07:23):
with a baleful glare. He walked around condescendingly inspecting our
living quarters with the look of a general from the
head department.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Well, they shouldn't surprise anybody. And even before they knew
they were going to be amongst the ranks of the idiots,
the idiots, they realized that their money coming in from
the outside was sufficient to put him there and keep
them there.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
And so.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
And remember it wasn't just the Gulag, wasn't just.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
For political prisoners.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
I mean, they were a large chunk of the population,
but you know, even just common criminals too, and they
were all mixed together. So the Jews, of course, being
as cohesive as they are, were able to very you know,
take care of these guys once they were inside. They
were a tiny minority of the population anyway, so they

(08:17):
had this big income coming in, not just from family
members or anything, but even from Jews in general. And
so that put him in a position regardless of anything else.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
And so, but.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
This, this arrogance and contempt for the Russians who banded,
of course, the majority of men at the camp was
something to be expected. And of course, God forbid you
did something about it, you'd be in serious trouble.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
The senior proctor asked him, what is your specialty, storekeeper?
There is no such specialty. Well, I am a storekeeper. Anyway,
you are going to work in the common labor brigade
for two days. He was sent there. Shrugging his shoulders,
he went out, and upon entering the work zone he
used to seat himself on a stone and rest respectfully. Respectably.

(09:11):
The brigadier would have hit him, but he quailed. The
newcomer was so self confident that anyone could sense power
from him. The camp storekeeper, keeper Si Sevesti Janoff, was
depressed as well. For two years he was in charge
of the combined provision in Sundry store. He was firmly

(09:32):
established and lived on good terms with the brass. But
now he was chilled. Everything is already settled. Burshedeer is
a storekeeper by specialty.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Yeah, he you know, the common being assigned to the
common labor brigade, you know, and that's that's the tough
that's your real force labor. That is in many cases,
you know, hitting rocks with sticks. But that was to
some extent it was propaganda. And you see some of
us do get to sign there. But he knew he
didn't have do anything. He knew that even even the

(10:02):
the officers of the camp had to watch themselves because
they were Jews and because they were given a substantial
amount of money from the outside. I don't know what
the word quailed mean means, but the context seems to
be that he he withheld that he was going to
beat him as they normally did, but because he was

(10:23):
a Jew, he and he had money coming in that
he without even you just like on day one, without
knowing what was going to happen, he still acted as
if he had been there forever and was and didn't
have to do anything. And so well everyone else was
was was kicking rocks, he was, he was, he was

(10:44):
sitting there. So even if they were assigned to the
heart labor brigade, that doesn't mean that they were doing
hard labor. Nothing is ever as it seems when it comes.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
To the Jews, either before or after the Russian Revolution.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Then the medical unit discharged Bersha from the labor duties
on grounds of poor health, and after that he rested
in the living quarters. Meanwhile, he probably got something from outside,
and within less than a week sevest Janov was removed
from his post and Burscheter was made a storekeeper with
the assistance of Salomanov. However, at this point it was

(11:18):
found that the physical labor of pouring grain and rearranging boots,
which was done by Sevestjanov single handedly, was also contraindicated
for Burshiitter, So he was given a henchman and Salomanov's
bookkeeping office and listed the latter as service personnel. But
it was still not a sufficiently abundant life. The best looking,

(11:40):
proudest woman of the camp, the swan like Lieutenant Sniper M,
was bent to his will and forced to visit him
in his storeroom in the evenings. After Burstein showed himself
in the camp, he arranged to have another camp beauty
as come to his cubicle.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
So the camp weren't quite the same.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
We're talking about we're talking about rape here clearly, and
this is supposed to be an inmate of the Gulang
cant I remember, you know, at the end of the
uss Arm at least according to Friedman's book The Red Mafia,
which is an excellent book on the formation of the
so called Russian mafia, which is Jewish mafia, most of

(12:24):
its core membership came out of the Gulag, which wasn't
eliminated until eighty nine ninety and this was their life.
So if they weren't already essentially a mafia organization in
the country, they certainly were an organized crime group in
the Gulag, where they even had more freedom.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
And so there was a woman here.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
I don't know, Lieutenant Sniper, I don't know what that means.
Genders were obviously kept separated, but not for him, but
forced to visit him in his store room in the evening.
You know, this isn't exactly this isn't exactly consensual. So
this is a one level more of the arrogance and

(13:12):
the contempt. And this is something that Sultanese wasn't allowed
to talk about, and he did, and despite the fact
that he won the Nobel Prize in the seventies, he
was This was a tremendous book. Remember when Khrushchev was
overthrown the very you know, Andropov, who was a Jew, Andropov,

(13:34):
who was ahead of the KGB prior to becoming dictator
of the UNSSAR after Bresna and even actually during Bresnev's
reign too, they helped finance a lot of anti Sultanessan writing.
So a lot of the negative stuff, especially from Jews
in the West, may come from Soviet money. I can't
say that for certain, but Sultanesean certainly said so, and

(13:57):
that he knew that. Andropov, who was I think the
only clearly Jewish dictator of the USSR, although ended up
of his is I don't doesn't blatantly scream Jewish last
name to me. They were the ones who said, oh,
look what he's talking about, and drop of you know,
had had had, you know, was profiting. So many of

(14:19):
the Soviet elite were profiting from what the what the
Gulags were creating, what they were producing. That's why it
never went away. It was a huge part of not
just so I don't want to say the Soviet economy,
but their personal privileges. And I haven't said this before,
but the KGB was involved in financing anti sols, the

(14:42):
nets and writings. They tried to kill him, you know,
they tried to kill them in nineteen seventy one with
a a rice and pellet like it did in Bulgaria.
He got very very ill. It's it's it's you know,
it must not have penetrated enough. He almost died as
if life was his life wasn't difficult or not, and

(15:02):
he was aware. We all know how rice and works.
If you watch Breaking Bad, you know it. It stays
dormant for a while, you get flu like symptoms, and
then you drop dead. It really it's a tinny amount.
But apparently the dose was the problem here, and he
probably was strong as a knox anyway, everything he's been through,
so uh, you know. Khrushchev mentioned it by mentioned him

(15:24):
by name when he was condemning Stalin, saying we should
allow this man to to publish. But Khrushchev was overthrown
in sixty four and near the end of Bresnevt the
beginning of that last that last you know, Nanko and
drop of that era. They were vehemently opposed to it,

(15:48):
vehemently opposed to to Schultzenesen's publishing in Russia. And and yes,
I I've never mentioned this, but he does. There was one,
at least one assassination attempt that he ever mentioned. The
symptoms were too clear for it to be anything else.
And riis and really was a Soviet method, the rice

(16:09):
and pellets given any kind of The one in Bulgaria
was an umbrella. I forget the guy's name the journalists
that wanted to eliminate He was from Bulgaria, but he
was working in Britain and the assassin was Meddley. That worked,
but it's really hard to trace. It doesn't show up

(16:29):
on talk screens, and it doesn't show up. You don't
feel it until I don't know, a week after being
injected with it. So it really is the perfect assassination weapon.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think his name was Gregoria.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
He remembers though when and he felt the sting. He
knew what the Soviets did, you know, so it's very
similar here in nineteen seventy one, but they didn't quite
do it. And but he was sick for a very
very long time, and he was well aware that you
can never go back to the to to Russia until

(17:06):
until until the Soviets were overthrown.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Is it difficult to read this, but they were by
no means troubled by how it looked from the outside.
It even seemed as if they thickened the impression on purpose.
And how many such little camps with similar establishments were
They're all across the archipelago. And did Russian idiots behave
in the same way unrestrained and insanely yes, But within

(17:31):
every other nation it was perceived socially like an eternal
strain between rich and poor, lord and servant. However, when
an alien emerges as a master over life and death,
it further adds to the heavy resentment. It might appear strange.
Isn't it all the same for a worth for a worthless, negligible,
crushed and doomed camp dweller surviving at one of the

(17:54):
of his dying stages. Isn't it all the same who
exactly seizes the power inside the camp and celebrates crows
picnics over his trench grave. As it turns out, it
is not. These things have been etched into my memory inerrasibly.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
This is a key point that he's making here. We
all know that Westerners know almost zero about Judaism, and
what it truly is that it's not primarily a religion
that it's really almost an ideology and ethnic ideology and
a power drive, a revolutionary movement.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Most people don't.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Understand that at all, and they can't understand it. It's
too expensive socially to believe this stuff. But it's one thing,
you know, you wonder when the Soviets took over. Initially
it was a heavily Jewish movement, so Alton Eastan said so.
Putin said so, and their priorities were strange for a

(18:52):
group of people that were claiming to be in favor
of labor. They were far more concerned with destroying churches
and the sexual revolution and everything else. In other words,
what he's saying here is that when there's a power
differential and it's a Russian or a gentile, yeah, it
might be nasty, it might be unpleasant, it might be exploited,

(19:13):
but it's nothing compared to when there's a power differential
when the Jew is over you and you were and
you're a gentile that the hatred is and they're willing
to lose money over, they're willing to suffer for for
your you know, uh, to get to to you know,
they could have, they could have been overthrown many times.
In the beginning, as I've said one hundred times, there

(19:34):
were many legitimate Orthodox Christian Socialists institutions in Russia. It
wasn't a capitalist society. You would think that they would
promote that. Now, of course not, they had to destroy it.
If it were gentile Marxists, they probably would have their
priorities were, you know, completely different than And we talked

(19:56):
about this some time ago with all of the founders
the leftist movements, Marks himself not trusting the Jews and
disliking the Jews as we all know, Bacun and the
founders of anarchism said that the only reason that socialism
and Marxism are synonymous is because he was in with
the Rothschilds. But it's completely different, you know. And that's

(20:18):
why I could write a book where where I could
say that the Soviet Union in its first half ever
had nothing, didn't even consider the idea of labor. That
was just a rhetoric, and that was because of its
Jewish element. You had less of a Jewish element in Yugoslavia,
and although you did have so many problems there, Tita

(20:39):
was interested in worker control over industry, and I oversaw
a dissertation on this very topic his workers control. It's
one of the main reasons he separated from the USSR,
and it didn't work. But it was more less of

(21:00):
a Jewish movement there than it was in the early
so and certainly less so in the staalmis there.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
In my play Republic of Labor, I presented some of
the events that happened in that camp on Bolshaya Kalushkaya thirty,
understanding the impossibility of depicting everything like it was in reality,
because it would be inevitably considered an incitement of anti
Jewish sentiment, as if that trio of Jews was not

(21:31):
inflaming it in real life. Caring little about consequences, I
withheld the abominably greedy Burshitter, I concealed Burstein, I recompensed
the propheteer Rosa Khalikman into an amorphous Bella of Eastern origin,
and retained the only Jew accountant, Soleimanoff, exactly like he

(21:51):
was in life.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
So what are you saying here? Now?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
I've read the Republic of Labor a million years ago.
I really should get back to it. It was right
after college. But he's saying that he for the sake
of a Western audience is deliberately not talking about the
Jews all that much, not mentioning their names. And he
still was condemned because he mentioned one or two condemned

(22:18):
as anti Jewish, as an anti Semite, And he says,
could you imagine if I let it all out, how
exactly the Jewish power functioned here? And not just from ideology.
But I saw it. I witnessed it. This is how
they functioned. There's nothing you could do about it. I
witnessed it. It's a fact of life. But of course
we know when it comes to left the citiology. Fact

(22:38):
have facts have nothing to do with reality when it
comes to Jewish power, facts have nothing to do with reality,
have nothing to do with anything. You go on trial
for incitement, like sveen Loong sayings was whether or not
he's correct, It was irrelevant, all the so called Holocaust trials,
whether or not they're correct, had no bar in anything.

(23:01):
That wasn't the point. But he was deliberately covering up
the Jewish angle here, and he still was condemned for it.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
So what about my loyal Jewish friends? After they perused
the play? The play aroused extraordinarily passionate protests from VLD Tuische.
He read it not immediately, but when sov Reimannik had
already decided to stage it in nineteen sixty two. So
the question was far from scholarly. The Tuishes were deeply

(23:31):
injured by the figure of salomanof They thought it was
dishonest and unjustice to show such a Jew, despite that
in the real life in the camp, he was exactly
as I showed him in the Age of Oppression of
Jews nineteen sixty two is the age of oppression of Jews?

(23:52):
It's every age. I mean it's every year.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
That's what he says here in the next line.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
But then it appeared to me that such age is everlasting.
What have our Jews? When have our Jews not been oppressed?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Man, I love when they when they when they'll tell you,
why do you blame every Why are you such a victim?
Why do you blame all of your problems on Jews?
It's like, because I learned from the best. If I
am doing that, I learned from the best.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
Well, it's a stupid argument to begin with. I know
we're only halfway through this, but but he mentioned one
Jew not even saying that he's a Jew. Just the
name itself is pretty you know, pretty clear. You know
Solomon's right in the name. I remember nineteen sixty two,
Khrusseef was still in power. He was permitting Sultan Estant published.

(24:46):
But you know, in a certain way anyway. But it
also was an age where the khustev era was, where
the persecution of the Orthodox Church was increased. But that
doesn't matter. This was a Soviet union, was a Jewish
era consistently until the early seventies.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Sooisch was alarmed and extremely agitated and put forward and
ultimatum that if I did not remove or at least
soften up the image of solomonof then all our friendship
will be ruined, and he and his wife will no
longer be able to keep my manuscripts. Moreover, they prophesize
that my very name will be irretrievably lost and blemished

(25:28):
if I leave Salomonov in the play. Why not to
make him a Russian? They were astonished. Is it so
important that he be a Jew? But if it doesn't matter,
why did Solomonov select Jews to be idiots?

Speaker 3 (25:43):
This is yeah, And he was deliberately covering over the
many Jewish names involved, this is one person that he
bothered to mention, and this was the threat. Now when
he says friends, he's being starcastic.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Now I've I've had Jewish friends over the years who
don't have a clue of what I do. There's a
handful that do, but they're these weird Jews that think
it's all right, you know, like a Naturia Karta, think
that what I do is wonderful. The Hasidic group, but
you know, they're they're not exactly mainstream. But by the time,

(26:23):
by the thing I was kicked off, I had a
few friends on Facebook that were Jewish. By the time
I was kicked off, I'm pretty sure it was it
was it was zero or or those that remained were
that weird minority that were very much on my side.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
I took a chill pill a sudden sensorial band.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
That did he really say that? I?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Okay, never mind, go ahead. He couldn't have said that.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
He could have what's the Russian version that he wrote it?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
He wrote it in Russian initially?

Speaker 3 (26:53):
All right, what's the Russian for chill pill? I've never
come across it before?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
All Right, I took a chill pill, a sudden sensurreal
band no less weighty than the official Soviet prohibition had
emerged from an unanticipated direction. However, the situation was soon
resolved by the official prohibition forbidding so Romanic to stage
the piece. And there was another objection from Tuysch quote,

(27:18):
your Solomanov has anything but Jewish personality. A Jew always
behaves discreetly, cautiously, suppliently, suppliantly, and even cunningly. But from
where does this pushy impudence of jubilant force. That is
not true. It cannot happen like this.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Well, you know that that is an interesting point he's making.
You see this in the Talmud, you see it in
Jewish writings all over the place where they're in a society.
This is how they function in Russia now there so
it's a tiny minority. And putin, you know, made his
bones by putting Jewish honigarks in prison. Their behavior is

(27:56):
very cautious. They have to be very careful not to irritate.
They can on even push so far. You know that
they do so anyway, But the mentality is, you know,
we can't be blatant about things. This however, is a
Soviet union. This is why they're pushing, but because because
this is their society, and even more so their camp,

(28:18):
where the overwhelming majority of inmates are Russian or at
least non Jewish, and Jews probably had a better life
in it than outside of it. Given everything we've read so.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Far, however, I remember not this Solomanov alone, and it
was exactly like that. I saw many things in the
nineteen twenties and nineteen thirties, and raw stuff Undone and
Frankel acted similarly. According to the recollections of surviving engineers,
such a slip of triumphant power into insolence and arrogance

(28:49):
is the most repelling thing for those around. Sure, it
is usually behavior of the worst and rudess, but this
is what becomes imprinted in memory. Likewise, the Russian image
is soiled by the obscenities of our villains.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
I do want to mention something I wrote a paper
a few years ago on the question of and it
was it was relevant to a lot of things that
were happening in American politics that most of the psychological
associations all over the world have denied the existence of
repressed memories. They simply don't exist. If anything, a traumatic

(29:27):
experience increases your retention of detail. So called repressed memory
were used to put you know, people in prison who
didn't do anything, like you know, Bill Cosby and whole
bunch of other people like that. It had no but
it has no basis in reality, It has no basis
in psychology. And I got I had mostly quotations of

(29:51):
this paper, and I could send that to you too.
But the very fact that it's traumatic, I mean, how
many veterans wish that they could forget what could be
more what could be more traumatic than than or being
in an American divorce with a woman, an American woman.
I'll put that up against any combat veteran any day.
Those things you wish you can forget that, But but

(30:12):
not only increases you're in intensifies your memory of detail
far more than if if it's just normal life. So
when he's talking about his own memory, I you could
swear by it because this was one long traumatic experience.
He's he's talking about things, and and again he never
comes out and says, yea, this is a Jewish movement,

(30:35):
this is you know the Jews were.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
He didn't talk like that.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
He merely mentioned names, and in this case really only
one in archipelago. Of course he did more than that,
but in his shorter pieces, you know, And and despite
all of the threats, he didn't. So obviously this this book,
okay go late in his life, but the KGB was

(30:58):
trying to blacken his name and it really didn't work.
The Jews didn't like him to begin with. They knew
what he was talking about. Mentioning one person was enough
to try to get threats from these people. But traumatic
events are imprinted in your memory. They are not repressed.
That doesn't exist. But even if it did exist, there's

(31:20):
no evidence that the memory just simoply goes into cold storage.
Even if it did, it exists, it may come out
completely different than the way it went in, has been
worked on, it may be damaged, it may be you know.
So that's very important to remember. So many veterans come
back with tremendously detailed memories, which is the problem. They

(31:45):
wish they could they can reprint it. That's an American
myth used to put men away in the judicial system.
But he's saying that because they were so nasty, because
they were so wicked, that he remembers them more than anybody,
and therefore when he talks about them, he could talk

(32:06):
about far more details that he remembers than anyone else.
And uh, and in fact, this guy wanted a Russian
to be put in there, and the fact that you know,
well he would be he wouldn't be this blatantly nasty
even though it was his society. Well, he can't admit that.
He can't admit that. So so I when I read

(32:31):
this the first time it dawned, I remember it again
that that there is no such thing as as repressed memory.
Memory is a very complicated area of epistemology. Well it's
not really pistemology, but it's very complicated. Memories are are
always changing, and certainly, even if even if they could

(32:55):
be repressed somehow, I don't know where they would go.
They don't go into cold storage and come out the
exact way, especially when there's an agenda behind retrieving those memories,
and of course there always is. So that's his point here.
And but I do want to point out that every
psychological scichriatrical professional organization in the world has condemned, denied

(33:17):
the very existence of repressed memories in the sense that
we know the phrase.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
All these blandishments and appeals to avoid writing about the
things like they were are indistinguishable from what we heard
from the highest Soviet tribute A tribute tribune tribunes about
anti defamation, about socialist realism. To write like it should be,
not like it was, as if a creator is capable

(33:44):
of forgetting or creating this past anew, as if the
full truth can be written in parts including only what
is pleasing, secure, and popular.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
So but who can do that? Uh? The only person
who can, who can do that with no problem is
a sociopath. Cognitive dissonance doesn't affect the sociopath because there
is no good and evil. There is no distinction between
those two things. It's just self interest. A normal man

(34:13):
couldn't do this. Therefore, if you have a society that
demands this, like our society does such, only the sociopath
is going to do well. The Machiavelian is going to
do well, because if you have to, if you're forced
to write something that isn't real to satisfy something, it's
going to kill you. Any artist is like that. Therefore,
only the most ignorant, the most brainwashed, or the sociopath

(34:36):
can do this effectively, and hence they're the ones who
get promoted. And socialation does write about that elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
And how meticulously. All the Jewish characters in my books
were analyzed with every personal feature weighted on apothecary scales.
But the astonishing story of Grigory m who did not
deliver the order to retreat to a dying regiment because
he was frightened our path are Gulaga Archipelago, Volume six,
chapter six, was not noticed. It was passed over without

(35:07):
a single word, and Ivan Denisovitch added insult to injury.
There were such sophisticated sufferers, but I put forward a bore.
For instance, during Gorbachev's glass Nose, embolden of Sir Sandler
published his camp memoirs quote after first perusal, I emphatically rejected.
One day in the life of Ivan Denisovitch, the main

(35:30):
personage was Ivan Denisovich, a man with minimal spiritual needs,
focused only on his mundane troubles end quote, and Soulshanisen
turned him into the national image exactly like all well
meaning communists were grumbling at that time. While Soulshanisen preferred
not to notice the true intelligentsia the determinant of domestic

(35:51):
culture and science. Sandler was discussing this with Mirn Makhar
Markovich Etliss both used to be idiots in the Medical Unit,
and Etlas added quote, the story is significantly distorted, placed
upside down social Nissan failed to emphasize the intelligent part
of our contingent self reflections of Ivan, disiny Nisovich about himself,

(36:18):
that patience, that pseudo Christian attitude toward others. And in
nineteen sixty four, Sandler was lucky to relieve his feelings
in conversation with Ehrenberg himself, and the latter affirmatively nodded
that Sandler mentioned his extremely negative feelings toward my novelette. However,
not a single Jew reproached me that Denisovich in essence

(36:43):
attends to Caesar Markovich as a servant, albeit with good feelings.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I've Denisovitch, as I said before, is a great place
to start. I also mentioned Dosovsky's House is the Dead too,
but that's a separate issue. Both are and prison prison
novels very different from each other. But but the life
of Ivan in these of it's my copies like two

(37:10):
hundred and fifty pages easier to get through. I don't
recall many Jews being mentioned at all, And you know,
I spent so much time on this is post. You know,
this is probably like in the mid eighties and glass
noise was first decreed. Sandler, of course, is a Jewish name.
I have the feeling, you know, one of the reasons

(37:31):
that Sultan Eatson was was arrested is that he witnessed
war crimes in Prussia. One of his first works was
was on this by Soviet soldiers against against Germans, and
you know, he had the guts.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
To talk about it, and he wasn't allowed to he
did he did anyway.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
This was one of the initial things that got him arrested,
got him into a lot of trouble. He witnessed a
lot of things. He he you know, publican repented of
his work fighting in the Red Army, even though of
course he had no choice in the matter. But I
was just beyond all this one day in the life

(38:12):
of live in the news. If it's just a great
place to start to understand Solzer needs. But I don't
know what book they're reading, because that book is not
just him talking about himself. Of course, the man is
suffering tremendously. But I think part of his point here
is that since Jews who were either the idiots, did

(38:34):
not suffer, why would he be so upset? You know,
weren't we all like that? You know, no, you were
like that, you were treated well in prison, but he
certainly wasn't. But minimal spiritual needs are simply not true
if you read the book. So many of these Jews

(38:54):
already knew what Sultan Neat was all about.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
And we're condemning him. But who knows, maybe they didn't
even read it.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Maybe they were just going by what other Jews were
saying to them. But even though it's it's fairly easy
reading from the from the start, and uh, I don't
want Jews talking about what pseudo Christian want, Isn't that's
outrageous to begin with. But but yes, remember Schultzan Neatson
did witness war crimes, serious ones in Prussia, which is

(39:26):
far as far west as he ever got. And uh,
he became somewhat of a loose cannon after that. So
he had he had got to know, no doubt, and
he kind of thought that that, you know, this was
maybe a new patriotic society is emerging, so I can
talk about that, but he realized that the minute the
war ended, that was all gone. And the Jews, you know,

(39:48):
well the truth, were in power from from the beginning anyway.
So but they were the Jews and Soviet you knew,
were well aware of what schultzon Neaton was from the
very beginning, from the publish from the pumplications of his
first I forget the Prussian Nights. I think it was
called something like that. And we know, you know, the

(40:10):
Jews who were controlling you know, Stalin and all the
Jewish who controlling the infantry, the political commissarts we talked
about that already that were very Jewish were responsible for this,
all of Erenberg's almost rhapsodizing about raping and destroying German
women once they entered entered Germany and near the very

(40:34):
end of the war where really no one can defend them.
So and this began. And then later on, as I said,
KGB one to promote this kind of thing. But Deniseevitch
really wasn't, you know, the Jews weren't. They didn't figure
prominently at all. But I don't know if these people
read this book, turning him into the national image.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
That's fine, and.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
You know, but as as you know, after the eighties,
when nineties went on, you had certain communist factions becoming
more national socialists rather than or national Bolsheviks or some
combination of those two then straight out Marxist, and that
ends up confusing a lot of novice Western readers because yeah,

(41:24):
you know, he's a member of the Communist Party, but
he's taught.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
How can you be, you.

Speaker 3 (41:28):
Know, a right winger with a picture of lenin your
letterhead top of your letterhead, and it's I know, it's
very strange, but this is the origin of this stuff.
And you know, so many of the like like the
Progressive Socialist Party in Ukraine, as I've mentioned many times
I've gotten I cited them many times.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
They're essentially a.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Semi social nationalist national Bolshevik kind of Ukrainian movement. There
of course been banned and all of their assets were
seized by Zelenski a long time ago, if not before.
And oh, I can't think of her name, Natalia something.
And I cited them many, many times. Excellent website they

(42:14):
used to have. And so there's some of them. You know,
just because you say communist doesn't really mean anything by itself.
It's the presence of the Jewish element that that matters.
So but that last sentence, I'm entirely sure what he
means there, uh, you know. But but the point is

(42:37):
Jews are trying to decide and telling us what what
Christianity is and how it affects sultans and writing. But
it didn't matter whether they read it or not. The
Soviet elite, especially at the very end of the Empire,
at least under ended up of we're financing both in

(42:59):
Russia and in the West attacks on Schalzer Needsen and
a lot of the present contempt for him comes from that. Remember,
all he did was mentioned names. Not in Ivan Denisovitch,
but all he did was mentioned names, and even if
it was just one name and he covered up the others,
that was enough. This is what this is what you're
dealing with here, and this is why this book came

(43:22):
to be written. At the end of his life, you know,
what are they going to do to him? He was
a big Putin supporter, Salton Easen was nothing could have
happened to him so long as Putin's on his side,
and he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
To the very.

Speaker 3 (43:32):
End, Putin agreed with with, you know, ninety nine percent
of what Schaltz Needsen had to say over time, and
so he can get away with something like this, and
especially more recently, Oh I should I save you? In
the last twenty years, the Jewish issue in Russia is

(43:52):
day to day you have mainstream intellectuals talking about it
in a way that we would talk about it. That's
been going on, you know since since the mid nineties,
mid nineties, you had more of a Jewish elite running society.
But when Putin took over, that wasn't the case anymore.
And this book directly comes out of this, and it

(44:13):
can only really this book we're reading now is a
lifetime of studying these things, not just his own personal
experience and how Jews relate to him, but but the
historical aspects of as well. And he knew that so
long as Putin was his friend, and he was, you know,
he wasn't going to get into any trouble. But the

(44:37):
Jewish question talking about in Russia and using this book
as a foundation, it was this was published in Russia
long before it was published in English, you know, and
really wasn't officially published in English, proving that you know
this was this was a place where where you can
discuss Jews without.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Any any fear.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
There are laws about incitement, but they're actual incitement laws.
Unlike in Britain you can say I want to start
killing them.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
You can't say that. You can't say that anywhere elsewhere.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Incitement laws are just used to shut people down. But
Russia it's a very different story. My criticism of Putin
is always this concern with the Red Army and the
Great Patriotic War being this core of his of his identity.
I don't like it, but it's a popular concept in Russia,
and he's a politician.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
I'm the only one.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
Who's written a book in English on his political ideology.
It came out The barn Review published it in twenty twelve.
Russian Populace the political thought of Ladimir Putin. I beg
of you to get it. The Barne Review is a
place that tells it. Now, it's every where, I guess,
and it goes into greater detail here about all of that.

(45:58):
And don't think that the Chilten needs not effect Putin's
developing view of things.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
It did.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
He was very much he was very influenced on Putin
In his circles political point of view, and that's a
wonderful thing.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
All right, Episode one hundreds in the in the can.
So we'll come back and we'll start on the the
Russian German War in the next episode.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Excuse me for one second.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
I am going to encourage everybody while doctor Johnson goes
and takes care of business. I'm going to encourage everyone
to go and donate to doctor Johnson. Go to the
show notes, go to the descriptions in the video, and yeah,
take care of him, because he's taking care of us

(46:50):
by doing this one hundred episodes. And if you haven't
donated already at least a one off, at least by
one of his books, buy the new book on Ukraine,
and please go ahead and do that. So all right,
doctor Johnson, I already told everybody to go over and
to donate to you, to buy your new book, and

(47:13):
we're out of here. We'll come back for episode one
on one.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
You don't have all these animals.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
You never know what crisis is going to happen, So
I apologize for that.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
That's okay. You didn't You didn't hear the cow outside
just losing his mind about five minutes ago, no, I didn't.
There's a cow outside my window. Just they've been doing
it all day and it's woke me up this morning,

(47:41):
do you know.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Oh wow, that's weird. We just have that. We just
have a corn field.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Uh yeah, they're not the cow. The cows are not happy.
The cows are not happy at all. But oh okay,
but what what what what can you do? What can
you do with an eight hundred You really can't argue
with an eight hundred pound animal.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Yeah, that's right, that's right. Yeah, it's not my thing.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
But think we don't have that around us. We have
nothing but cats and dogs that very much have their
very very very well developed personalities and anything could happen
at any time. It's a soap opera wrap.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Yeah. Well, you know, I'm hoping one day I'll have
that well developed personality too.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
So hey, you know, I think you do, but but
many people don't. And I you know, these my cats
have more personality, uh than than most people I've come across.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
And that I you could.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
You could take that to the bank, especially Stanley down here,
who still hasn't moved.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
All right, doctor J to you in a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Thank you, all right, my friend, Bye, bye
