They invariably kept themselves in the gloomy shadow and conspired every step they took. Almost unknown to the world, these gentlemen skillfully played the role of "puppeteers", not disdaining any methods, directing the entire course of the most important events as they intended. These persons did not at all pursue goals beneficial to their countries and peoples. Above were the interests of transnational financial groups and secret communities, which were not supposed to be known to superfluous ones. And everyone was superfluous, except for the initiated. Nowadays, even to stutter about the existence of such, all the more about their influence, is considered bad form. The secret must remain secret. But why?..
The mysterious death of Lord Kitchener
On June 5, 1916, the British Minister of War, Field Marshal Count GG Kitchener, sailed from the British port to Arkhangelsk on the English cruiser Hampshire. He was personally invited by the Supreme Commander of the Russian Armed Forces, Emperor Nicholas II, to discuss the supply of the Russian army in the field. This was the declared purpose of the visit. However, according to a secret agreement with the commander-in-chief, Kitchener intended to investigate the criminal financial frauds of the British military-industrial concern Vickers, which, with some obscure stubbornness, disrupted the supply of artillery shells to Russia. A scandal was brewing. Russia and Great Britain were allies, but Vickers did not seem to be pursuing their interests at all. The British minister was carrying with him ten million pounds sterling in pure gold - a contribution towards a future loan to Russia from the British government.
Lord Kitchener had the most serious intentions - to end sabotage. However, passing along the coast of the Orkney Islands (Scotland), the cruiser "Hampshire" was blown up by a powerful mine of unknown origin and instantly sank to the bottom. None of the cruiser's passengers and crew escaped.
German Colonel-General Erich Ludendorff, quite well-versed in the intricacies of the secret struggle, in his very informative book "My Memories of the War of 1914-1918" (was published in the USSR only once in 1924) directly pointed out that the mysterious death of a sincere friend of Russia, Lord Kitchener "It was not caused by a German mine or a torpedo, but by the force that did not allow Russia to rise with the help of Lord Kitchener, because the explosion of all of Russia was already planned."
The political scientist R. Douglas, who investigated the activities of all the same mysterious circles in the United States, expresses the firm conviction that with the sudden death of Kitchener, "the main obstacle that held back the revolution in Russia has disappeared." Grand Duke Michael, who was in London, wrote to Emperor Nicholas II that “the death of poor Kitchener was a great, unexpected drama that struck everyone terribly … He loved Russia very much … He was our best and most faithful friend”.
Of course, the Grand Duke - a famous Anglophile - exaggerated somewhat: Kitchener was first and foremost a defender of British interests, and only then (and perhaps last but not least) a friend of Russia. But since British interests precisely demanded that the Russian Empire continue to stubbornly fight the powers of the central bloc, the British Secretary of War objectively acted as an opponent of those forces that sought to bury great Russia. He, of course, noticed with concern how circles pursuing far-reaching secret goals that did not coincide with the national interests of the British Empire were gaining more and more influence in his country, and British politics was increasingly dependent on some kind of omnipotent financial and political group, the center which was … in New York.

Humanity goes to the universal international organization
By the beginning of the 20th century, the North American United States, which experienced rapid progress in all areas and was famous for almost unlimited freedom, became an attractive center for occult and sectarian groups literally from all over the world. At the same time, various secret societies began to play an increasingly important role in the life of America, which quickly "gained muscle" and became an influential political force. Despite the rather variegated composition, unequal rituals and different magic symbols, all these societies were united by a global strategic goal: the creation of a world government and a new world order.
As it is clear from the report of the foreign agents of the Police Department of the Russian Empire, the original of which is now kept in a special file "On Freemasons" in one of the funds of the State Archives of the Russian Federation, back in 1892 a representative secret congress of Masonic lodges took place in Brussels, proclaiming the main goal of world Freemasonry creation of the "World Republic". In 1905 L. A. Rataev, head of the foreign agents of the Police Department, reported to St. Petersburg: "Masonic circles believe that France has fallen to the great task of organizing democracy everywhere and thereby constantly preparing the achievement of the Masonic ideal - the World Republic."
In 1910, at the next Masonic congress, in the same Brussels, this global goal was already seen more clearly: “Humanity is moving towards a universal international organization. From this organization, international government organizations will subsequently be created. In the near future, humanity will come to the idea of creating bodies of international legislation and an international parliamentary union."
It would seem like a good purpose. What are the means? Any, including political assassinations, blackmail, bribery, discrediting objectionable figures, revolution, war … All this was necessary for the unheard-of enrichment of the leaders of financial and industrial groups closely associated with Freemasonry and other even more conspiratorial secret communities. Their universal struggle for democratic ideals was (and still is) just a camouflage that hid (and hides) the main (and never advertised) goal - achieving world domination and turning all national governments into puppets obedient to secret supranational "puppeteers".
Underground arbiters of the fate of mankind
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ideas of the Brussels Masonic Congress of 1910 were most actively supported by the most influential group of financial and industrial magnates in the United States. Its headquarters occupied a business center in a 35-storey skyscraper in New York at 120 Broadway, which is why political scientists called this group the "Broadway Community". Here, on the 35th floor, the Bankers' Club gathered, which united such whales of the financial and industrial world of America as J. Morgan, J. Schiff, K. Loeb, C. Crane, R. Dollar and others. In the same building - very handy - there were the offices of directors of the US Federal Reserve System, whose head was the banker P. Warburg, a relative of Jacob Schiff, as well as the office of American International Corporation, the controlling stake of which belonged to the bank of the same J. Schiff “Kuhn and Loeb ".
Interestingly, at 120 Broadway, there was also the office of John McGregor Grant, who represented in the USA the Petrograd banker Dmitry Rubinstein, who was exposed by the Russian military counterintelligence during the First World War as one of the main organizers of the "sugar riots" in a number of Russian cities and a contraband supplier of food to the countries of the Austro-German bloc, which fought against the Entente. By the way, US intelligence and Grant himself were included in the list of suspicious persons. However, it was, of course, impossible to reach him neither for the American, nor even more so for the Russian counterintelligence officers, if only because Grant was closely associated with the almighty bank of J. Morgan.
The aforementioned influential persons, in addition to official business meetings and regular communication with each other, were either in the same secret communities, or in various organizations that were closely related links of a single ramified structure. So, Jacob Schiff headed the notorious secret order of B'nai Brit, which was no less closely associated with another secret organization created in London in 1891. It was called the Round Table. Obviously, its creators really wanted to emphasize their similarity with the heroes of the ancient British epic about the noble knights of King Arthur, who gathered at a round table and solved all the problems behind him.
Among the founding members of the society were such notable figures as Lord Reginald Asher, Lord Alfred Milner, Lord Lionel Rothschild, Lord Arthur Balfour and Sir George Buchanan, the future British ambassador to Russia. The main tasks of the Round Table, as it has now become clear, were the spread of British rule to the whole world, the introduction of English as a world language and … the creation of a single world government.
In 1904, Alfred Milner (since 1916 - British Minister of War) took over at the head of the Round Table. He established a scholarship in honor of Cecil Rhodes, who died in 1902, who once founded the "democratic" - and in fact, with all the signs of monstrous apartheid - the state of Southern Rhodesia and became its sovereign master. The scholarship provided an opportunity for select students from all over the world to study at Oxford University. This money was spent with a far-reaching calculation: each of the blessed schoolchildren in the most receptive period of his life was instilled in every way the cherished dream of Rhodes, Rothschild and their friends - the creation of a single world government.
Leon Trotsky. Civil war poster.
It is important to note that at a certain stage, the British Round Table, proceeding from a rather close commonality of the goals of the financial and industrial elites of England and the USA, joined forces with the American Broadway community. It is no accident that, according to some sources, another important inhabitant of the Broadway skyscraper, Charles Crane, was at the Round Table, who was at the same time one of the richest industrialists in the United States and a prominent politician who visited a number of countries with secret missions, including China.
Lord Kitchener, who was blown up by a mine, was very afraid of the influence of the Broadway group, in particular of its representative J. Morgan, on British foreign policy. Relations between the Russophile Lord and other prominent officials of the Round Table were strained.
What connected Leon Trotsky with David Lloyd George
The organizations listed above took the most active (albeit very carefully camouflaged) participation in the February and then in the October revolutions in Russia.
It is no coincidence that in the same skyscraper at 120 Broadway, there were always persons closely associated with the future heads of revolutionary governments. For example, not just anywhere, but here was the bank office of Veniamin Sverdlov, the brother of the Bolshevik Yakov Sverdlov.
At the beginning of the First World War, another well-known frequenter of the American bankers' club, the famous English agent Sydney Reilly (a native of Odessa Solomon Rosenblum) - the main link between Trotsky, Sverdlov and American financial groups, settled here. In 1915-1917. he was engaged in acquiring and transporting weapons purchased with the money of American bankers to militants of the left and nationalist parties in Russia. This weapon made itself felt, in particular, during the February-March 1917 riots in Petrograd, which paved the way for the overthrow of Emperor Nicholas II.
New York. The same skyscraper on Broadway.
In Russia, Reilly was on close friendly terms with the banker Abram Zhivotovsky, the uncle of Leon Trotsky. On 120 Broadway, Alexander Weinstein, also a good friend of Reilly, ran his business. Brother A. Weinstein, Grigory Weinstein, in turn, was the owner of the internationalist newspaper "New World", published during the First World War in America. With its outspoken propaganda of revolutionary socialism of the most extreme kind, the newspaper played a major preparatory role in rallying radical left and extreme left elements around the world. The newspaper was also illegally transported to Russia.
The editorial board of this publication included Bukharin, Volodarsky, Chudnovsky, Uritsky, Kollontai … All of them were future leaders of the Bolshevik government, and earlier became members of Masonic lodges.
It is noteworthy that L. D. Trotsky, who arrived in America from Havana on January 13, 1917, was immediately introduced to the editorial board of this newspaper. New York made a huge impression on him. In some of his works, Lev Davidovich did not accidentally predict the unrestrained growth of US influence in the world, directly calling this country "the forge where the fate of mankind will be forged", and also "predicting" the decline of the influence of the old European powers, including Russia.
“I found myself in New York, in the fabulous and prosaic city of capitalist automatism, where the aesthetic theory of Cubism triumphs on the streets, and the moral philosophy of the dollar is in our hearts,” the creator of the theory and practice of “War Communism,” which condemned millions of Russians to extinction and degeneration.
Returning to the mysterious figure of Reilly, we emphasize that during the First World War, he was simultaneously the American resident of the prominent functionary of the British Intelligence Service, William Weissman, who, in turn, was closely associated with the future British Prime Minister David Lloyd George. And the latter constantly consulted with the same Round Table.
So the circle was closed. It would seem that these people should have been on opposite sides of the barricades. Lev Davidovich Trotsky is one of the main organizers and leaders of the October Revolution, an ardent preacher of the "ideals of the revolution", almost monastic asceticism (but he did not deny himself anything, it is enough to recall his luxurious personal train that traveled along the fronts of the Civil War). And Sir David Lloyd George is one of the pillars of British imperialism. Let not personally, but through third parties, indirectly, but from this no less tightly Trotsky was secretly connected with him. Well, surprise, Lloyd George in words called the "civilized world" to a crusade against Bolshevism, but in fact he condoned and even helped.
For our menagerie. World War I in cartoons.
The "gray eminence" of American politics
Let's continue to track the chains that stretched from the Broadway skyscraper to the pompous mansions built in the Victorian era in London.
But none other than Reilly, brought the British intelligence officer V. Weisman to the "gray eminence" of American politics "Colonel House" "). True, Edward M. House (Huis) really could not have been any "colonel", if only because he never served in the army or in other law enforcement agencies that officially existed in the USA But in terms of the degree of influence on the domestic and foreign policy of America, already in the 20s of the XX century, House could well deserve the title of not only colonel or general - full field marshal!
Until 1902, House played the role of a behind-the-scenes campaign manager and advisor to four Texas governors. Moreover, for each of his protégés, he was a genius of political strategy, remaining disinterested and devoid of ambition. So it seemed to those who did not know that "Colonel House", being a freemason of a high degree of initiation, carried out a constant close relationship between the most powerful group of American bankers (such as J. Schiff, P. Warburg and J. Morgan) and the Round Table, actively participating in the formation of the political course of the North American United States, Great Britain and allied countries. And through Lionel Rothschild, the Round Table maintained contacts in the USA with the most influential financial and industrial clans: Schiffs, Warburgs, Guggenheims, Rockefellers, Carnegie …
Further, during the presidency of W. Wilson, House, being his political adviser, actually determined the entire foreign policy of America. After the victory of the Entente over the powers of the Austro-German union in 1918, the "colonel" with the participation of T. Lamont, a senior partner of the J. Morgan bank, formed a group of highly paid specialists in foreign policy issues under the code name "Research" (English - The Inguire). Its task was to develop the US position at the peace conference, which was supposed to sum up the First World War.
Naturally, working out the American peace conditions, a group of House's obedient "scientists" worked closely with British counterparties, for example, with the British Secretary of War Lord Milner (who, we recall, also headed the Round Table).
By the way, during the Versailles Conference of 1919, which worked out the foundations of the post-war world, all of the closest advisers to British Prime Minister Lloyd George were also members of the Round Table. This cunning politician had his allies among the Masons, and through them - in the ruling circles of not only the United States, but even Germany.
This is how one of the foundations of the future world order was formed - the total post-war political and economic domination of the Anglo-Saxon race, which stretched over more than two decades, with thousands of invisible bonds connected with the leading representatives of another, messianic and extremely interested in the new world order of the nation.
More than half a century before the notorious Zbigniew Brzezinski (another “gray cardinal” of American politics), House expressed the idea that “the rest of the world will live more calmly if instead of huge Russia there are four Russia in the world. One is Siberia, and the rest is the divided European part of the country”…
Lord Milner is one of the directors of the February Revolution in Russia.
A sharp turn in British politics
In the second half of 1916, an event took place in Great Britain, which was underestimated by uninitiated contemporaries, but it influenced the further development of events in Russia in the most disastrous way. An unspoken, quiet coup d'etat was carried out, which dramatically changed the entire nature of London's foreign policy, which overnight from an ally of imperial Petrograd, albeit not very reliable and very self-serving, turned into its sworn enemy. All the most important posts in the state "suddenly" were taken by members of the Round Table: D. Lloyd George became prime minister, Lord A. Milner became minister of war instead of the strangely deceased Lord Kitchener, and Lord A. -J. Balfour.
The British ambassador to Petrograd since 1910, Sir George Buchanan (a member of the same community) has long and closely associated with Russian liberals, in particular, the Cadets and Octobrists. He often received the leaders of the State Duma at the British Embassy, was fully aware of the conspiracy against Emperor Nicholas II, and not only advised opponents of the monarchy, but himself gave direct instructions that meant gross interference in the internal affairs of Russia. (Thus, the assassination of Grigory Rasputin, which became the catalyst for the anti-monarchist revolution, was inspired by none other than … Sir Buchanan, who involved an old man acting under diplomatic cover, a British "cleaner" in the liquidation.)
All their actions directed against the Russian Empire, the "knights" of the Round Table coordinated with American like-minded people. So, Lord Milner during this period maintained the closest ties with the intelligence agent Weissman, and through him with overseas bankers, inhabitants of Broadway, 120.
In turn, Jacob Schiff, Warburgs, Swedish banker Olof Aschberg generously financed the subversive activities of imperial Germany against Russia. Beginning in 1914, the Germans subsidized the Russian Revolution through the Warburg International Bank in Hamburg. This bank provided money to revolutionaries in Russia through its representative offices in Sweden. With the same money, German agents organized strikes and riots in Russia in 1915 and 1916.
By the way, the main enemy of Russia in the German government was Chancellor Theobald Bethmann-Hollweg, who was directly related to Jacob Schiff. It was Bethmann-Hollweg, without even notifying Wilhelm II, who gave the consent of the German government to Lenin's passage through Germany in the spring of 1917.
Thus, the circle was closed again: the American and British participants in the conspiracy against the Russian emperor united … with their enemies - the Germans. And this is understandable: after all, the main reason for the participation of Western "partners" in the overthrow of Nicholas II was hidden not in the national interests of certain countries, but in the desire of a supranational secret organization to establish a new world order in which there was no place for a great Russia.
It is noteworthy that the head of the French military mission at the Russian headquarters, General Maurice Jeanin, wrote in his diary on April 7, 1917: the February Revolution "was led by the British, and specifically by Lord Milner and Sir Buchanan." According to the data cited in his research by Lieutenant General A. Gulevich (1866-1947), Lord Milner received more than 21 million rubles from various bankers to finance the Russian revolution.
And since the murders begin, you cannot say where they will end
The ruling circles of England and France were extremely unhappy and alarmed that imperial Russia, which seemed to be completely weakened in 1915, suddenly recovered from defeats and took the initiative into its own hands in the 1916 campaign. It was becoming clear that 1917 would be the year of decisive Russian victories. This meant that Russia would become the main triumphant in the end of the war. Emperor Nicholas II was the guarantor of this victory. By the way, he did not flatter himself about the true intentions of the allies, who did not tire of publicly assuring him of their sincere loyalty. Back in 1914, upon the call of England and France to fight to the “last drop of blood,” the sovereign remarked in a close circle: “… to the last drop of Russian blood. Apparently, this is how they understand this war."
Major General of the Separate Corps of Gendarmes A. I. Spiridovich recalled in his memoirs that during the highest reception on the occasion of the New Year, 1917, the sovereign, approaching the British Ambassador Buchanan, told him “that he knows that he not only visits the enemies of the monarchy, but himself receives them at his embassy. Buchanan was both confused and discouraged."
The maid of honor of the Empress Anna Vyrubova, in her turn, wrote in her autobiographical book Pages of My Life: “The Tsar told me that he knew from a correct source that the British Ambassador Sir Buchanan was taking an active part in intrigues against Their Majesties and that he had almost meetings with the grand dukes on this matter”(some members of the Romanov dynasty betrayed the emperor by taking part in an anti-monarchist conspiracy, not even suspecting that the destructive wave raised by the liberals and then picked up by the left radicals would sweep them as well).
… In January 1917, a commission represented by England, France and Italy arrived in Petrograd for an allied conference. The British delegation was headed by the ubiquitous Minister of War Lord Milner. Prime Minister D. Lloyd George did not hide his hopes for this conference, as he believed that it "could lead to some kind of agreement that would help expel Nikolai and his wife from Russia and entrust the government of the country to the regent."
The purpose of Milner's visit was to force Nicholas II to admit to power the opposition controlled by the Entente and his direct agents to the headquarters. In the event that the emperor refuses to comply with these requirements, Milner had to coordinate the actions of the Masonic conspirators of the Duma. Already after the February uprising, the Irish representative of the House of Commons directly pointed to Milner as the main organizer of the Russian revolution: “Our leaders congratulate whom? Successful rebels! They sent Lord Milner to Petrograd to prepare the revolution that destroyed the autocracy in the ally country."
During his visit, Milner met with the most active organizers of the anti-monarchist conspiracy: the chairman of the Military-Industrial Committee of the Duma A. I. Guchkov, the head of Zemgor, Prince G. E. Lvov, Chairman of the State Duma M. V. Rodzianko, the former Minister of War, General A. A. Polivanov, a prominent Freemason, former Minister of Foreign Affairs S. D. Sazonov, British ambassador J. Buchanan and cadet leader P. N. Milyukov.
As a result of these meetings, the following requirements were presented to the emperor:
1. Introduction to the headquarters of the Supreme Commander of the Allied representatives with a decisive vote.
2. Renewal of the command staff of the army in agreement with the Entente powers.
3. Introduction of a responsible ministry.
The emperor refused these demands on all counts.
On point 1: "It is superfluous to introduce allied representations, because I do not intend to introduce my representatives into the allied armies with the right to vote."
On point 2: “Also unnecessary. My armies are fighting with more success than the armies of my allies."
On point 3: "The act of internal government is subject to the discretion of the monarch and does not require instructions from the allies."
In the same spirit, the sovereign's response to the British ambassador to Buchanan was sustained, who during the audience allowed himself to discuss the affairs of the internal structure of the Russian Empire. Buchanan made it clear that if the emperor did not agree to the British demands, he would face a revolution and even, possibly, death: "… once the murders begin, it is impossible to say where they will end."
The negative response of Nicholas II to the actual ultimatum of the allies led to the fact that in the ruling circles of the Entente it was decided to leave the path of diplomatic pressure and go to open support of the conspiracy against the tsar. In Moscow, the British consul B. Lockhart constantly met with the already mentioned chairman of the All-Russian Zemstvo Union (Zemgora), Prince Lvov, the future head of the Provisional Government.
Together with Lvov, Moscow mayor M. V. came to meetings with Lockhart. Chelnokov, leader of the Moscow cadets, member of the Progressive Bloc of the Duma V. A. Maklakov. What were they talking about? Of course, about the need for a coup d'etat in Russia. It is no accident that in his report of December 25, 1916, Lockhart conveyed the words of Lvov: “The Emperor will not change. We need to change the emperor."

Why the victory of the Russian Empire seemed unacceptable to the allies
The general concern of the secret gamblers was expressed in a secret memorandum to US President W. Wilson by his same adviser, Colonel House: "If the allies win, this will mean Russia's domination on the European continent."
Back in March 1916, due to a "strange" coincidence, a politician, banker and grain merchant David Francis, who was also connected with the Broadway community and the Round Table, was appointed the US ambassador to Russia. Along with the British ambassador J. Buchanan and the French ambassador M. Palaeologus, he played one of the main roles in supporting the liberal conspiracy against Emperor Nicholas II. In addition to geopolitical reasons, the American diplomat also had a personal interest in the conspiracy - he was a grain merchant! Russia, as the main competitor in the world grain market, hindered him.
But the main reasons that prompted the secret American-British community to start preparing for the revolution in Russia in 1916 at an accelerated pace, researchers call: first, the fact that its inevitable victory meant the impossibility of building a new world order; secondly, the inability to legally, on the basis of official interstate agreements, prevent Russia from seizing the Black Sea straits and Constantinople (the Bosphorus operation was actively prepared by Petrograd and was scheduled for the spring of 1917) - and this meant that the Russians, having defeated Turkey, could prevent the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, having plucked "the fruits of years of effort"; thirdly, the desire of transatlantic capital to subjugate the vast Russian market and the richest raw material resources of our country; fourthly,the impossibility of even effectively influencing imperial Russia, if she won a victory; fifth, the religious-mystical and geopolitical doctrine of the secret community, which denied the very existence of an autocratic Orthodox monarchy under the new world order.
A different ending of the war did not suit D. Lloyd George and J. Schiff. The war was supposed to end according to their scenario, and, despite all the casualties and losses incurred by Russia, in this scenario it had a place only in the camp of the defeated.
The secret "puppeteers" sought to prevent Russia's victory in the world war under any circumstances, which predetermined the entire subsequent course of events: the removal of Nicholas II from the political arena, the establishment of liberals in Russia, obedient to the Freemasons and other Western communities. This power, according to the plans of our enemies, was, although temporary, but very useful for stimulating all destructive processes in the empire doomed to collapse and the subsequent replacement of the Provisional Government with the dictatorship of the Bolsheviks. Those, in turn, were called upon to carry out a social revolution, put an end to Orthodoxy and dismember Russia, which does not fit into the new world order.
By the way
“Nothing happens by chance in politics. If something happened, it was by design,”said Franklin Roosevelt. And he knew what he was saying. The only question is who conceived it: by God, the devil, the ideologists of transnational financial groups and secret communities, the founders of Marxism-Leninism or some other doctrine, the foremen of perestroika, the boys in short pants? History is made by everyone, even those who do not want to. Both the people and the crowd on Khodynka. But this does not mean that secrets and conspiracies do not exist in it, and the conspiracy theory is outdated. However, today it is more prestigious to consider it as one of the extreme versions of the theory of elites. The elite like it better. Only in life, that "it was so conceived" often comes out like that. That is why they say: "Man proposes, but God …"
