The Russian Revolution

The ravages of World War I (1914-1918) spread the seeds of discontent in the Russian population. The Russian Czar joined England and France in the war against Germany.  The war had devastated Russia.  The Czar became the scapegoat, abdicated in 1917 and was captured by the Bolsheviks and killed along with his family in 1918.  A provisional government was formed, but was overthrown by the Bolsheviks who created the USSR in 1917 with Vladimir Lenin as its leader. This sparked the Russian Civil War.

The Russian Civil War (1917-1922) raged between the Red Russians, fighting for the Bolshevik form of Socialism and the White Russians and Ukraine’s Green Army, who opposed it. Western countries gave some support the White and Green Armies.  

World War I came to a close in 1918.  The revolution spilled over into neighboring countries who divided Red and White. The Whites were land-owners and free-market freedom-lovers.

The Russian Army had dissolved in 1917, so the Bolsheviks needed a treaty with Germany to get the German Army to withdraw from Russia.  Western banks funded the Red Army with loans. The Red Army and the Bolsheviks prevailed because they used terror tactics to draft Russians into the Red Army and they were well funded by the West. A period of mass starvation and brutality ensued from 1922 forward.

Our Bolsheviks are Marxist groups funded by Soros, paid to burn down our cities and the Obama Administration ending the rule of law.

We face the same fate, but our demise would more likely be caused by a financial crisis and dollar crash created by government overspending on Agenda 21 implementation, big government debt, too much money printing and excessive immigration. The plan for our demise is outlined in UN Agenda 21. Our only hope is to restore and preserve the US Constitution and use the 10th Amendment to remove unconstitutional activities and cut the federal government down to size.
