Every Federal Reserve Chairman since 1980 has been Jewish (20:14)
Almost, but no. From 1980 to the time of the film’s release the Fed chairs were:
Paul Volcker (1979-1987): Not Jewish.
Alan Greenspan (1987-2006): Jewish.
Ben Bernanke (2006-2014): Jewish.
Janet Yellen (2014-2018): Jewish.
Three out of four is obviously an enormous overrepresentation for a group that is 2-3% of the American population, but Europa still turns this into something that can easily be debunked by naming Volcker as a Jew.
The House of Rothschild owns 57% of the stock of the Federal Reserve (20:22)
Not true, and as I explained in Part 2, the Fed isn’t privately owned like a normal corporation anyway. The Fed’s “stock” is divided among member banks without the rights of traditional company stock ownership.
Quote from a Jew explaining that they control the country through the Federal Reserve (20:58)
Europa includes a lengthy quotation from a Jew named Harold Wallace Rosenthal which includes the following:
“Our power has been created through the manipulation of the national monetary system. We authored the quotation. ‘Money is power.’ As revealed in our master plan, it was essential for us to establish a private national bank. The Federal Reserve system fitted our plan nicely since it is owned by us, but the name implies that it is a government institution. From the very outset, our purpose was to confiscate all the gold and silver, replacing them with worthless non-redeemable paper notes. This we have done!”
Rosenthal was an aide to a Senator killed in a terrorist attack in Turkey in 1976. The purported interview that contained this quote was released in 1978 in a pamphlet titled The Hidden Tyranny by a man named Walter White Jr.
We have no evidence this interview actually happened other than the word of White, and Rosenthal could not dispute it since it was published almost two years after his death. White nationalist Tom Metzger, who knew White, said the interview was bogus and considered White a liar. He said on his radio show regarding the interview:
That interview never took place. Walter White operated free and loose on some subjects, like this one. He disappeared once for a while. I personally sent men searching for him. He showed up claiming the JDL kidnapped him and dumped him at the Mexican border. He was really shacked up with a younger woman in an L.A. motel. … That interview is bogus. There is plenty of valid material to use against the Jews.1
Now it’s time for the Bolshevik Revolution.
State Department documents show a group of powerful Jews planned the overthrow of the Tsar in 1916 (24:09)
Jacob Schiff, Felix Warburg, Otto Kahn, Isaac Seligman, and Mortimer Schiff are listed as part of this conspiracy. Europa doesn’t elaborate further on what these State Department documents were or what they proved, but I’ve been able to track down the source and to my surprise this claim actually has merit.
In the book Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, author Antony Sutton traces this to a State Department Decimal File (861.00/5339) which contained a document titled “Bolshevism and Judaism”, dated November 13, 1918:
The text is in the form of a report, which states that the revolution in Russia was engineered "in February 1916" and "it was found that the following persons and firms were engaged in this destructive work":
(1) Jacob Schiff - Jew
(2) Kuhn, Loeb & Company - Jewish Firm
Management:
Jacob Schiff - Jew
Felix Warburg - Jew
Otto H. Kahn - Jew
Mortimer L. Schiff - Jew
Jerome J. Hanauer - Jew
Guggenheim - Jew
Max Breitung - Jew
Isaac Seligman - Jew
The report goes on to assert that there can be no doubt that the Russian Revolution was started and engineered by this group and that in April 1917.
Sutton informs us that the documents anonymous author was a member of the US War Trade Board. In this context Sutton also quotes a British Intelligence report, which writes:
SUMMARY: There is now definite evidence that Bolshevism is an international movement controlled by Jews; communications are passing between the leaders in America, France, Russia and England with a view to concerted action...2
Sutton notes that “none of the above statements can be supported with hard empirical evidence”,3 since these purported letters have never been seen. He then writes a brief dismissal of a Jewish conspiracy by saying Jewish overrepresentation is meaningless because there’s no reason to think Jews would have supported Bolshevism just because of their Jewishness. Sutton doesn’t explain why that must be the case though, and I don’t find his way of dismissing this very convincing.
These documents are certainly interesting, but what to make of them on their own? It’s also worth noting that some of these names, like Schiff, were supportive of the Republican faction the Bolsheviks were fighting against. So at least from everything else we know about their views and patronage, it would be unlikely they would have supported an overthrow of the Republican government.
Alexander II of Russia was assassinated by a Jewish revolutionary named Vera Figner (25:10)
Vera Figner was not Jewish. She was born to Russian nobility on both sides of her family.4
“The Jew Alexander Kerensky” (25:44)
Kerensky was commonly rumoured to be Jewish, but there is nothing to support this. Nothing in his father’s biography suggests a Jewish identification. Interestingly, his mother’s name was Nadezhda Alexandrovna Adler, and Adler is a common Jewish name. However, Nadezhda was the granddaughter of freed serfs and the daughter of a General Alexander Adler, a nobleman and figurehead in the Kazan Military District.5 So certainly not Jewish.
Kerensky received one million dollars from Jacob Schiff to free all political prisoners and welcome back political exiles (25:45)
A document by a Cyrus Adler which profiles Schiff writes that Schiff:
Was in sympathy with the Kerensky Government, and evinced this by a subscription of one million rubles to the loan issued by that Government which, for the time being, at least, is valueless.6
Ron Chernow also claims Schiff made a loan of this sum in his book The Warburgs.7 Schiff, like many other Jews in America, was indeed intent on helping to overthrow the Tsarist regime they considered antisemitic.
Kerensky did release tens of thousands of prisoners — titled “Jailbirds of Kerensky” — in a series of amnesties in 1917. However, there’s no evidence Schiff demanded these prisoner releases, as Europa suggests.
Jacob Schiff handled contacts between the Jewish B’nai B’rith Masonic organisation and the Russian revolutionaries (26:14)
Schiff was a member of B’nai B’rith, but there isn’t anything to substantiate this.
Jacob Schiff and Max Warburg sent Trotsky to Russia to complete the revolution (26:25)
There’s no evidence that Warburg or Schiff were directing Trotsky to return to Russia. It is worth noting though that Trotsky was granted a passport to return to Russia, with transit through Britain, by none other than Woodrow Wilson. As one biographer writes, "Historians must never forget that Woodrow Wilson, despite the efforts of the British police, made it possible for Leon Trotsky to enter Russia with an American passport."8
Sutton reports that Trotsky lived large during his time in New York, and was reported to have a fortune of $10,000 on him when leaving the country, despite his only profession being a communist revolutionary. The records show that an MI5 agent tasked with monitoring Trotsky dispatched a message to London about the sum saying Trotsky had set sail "with $10,000 subscribed by Socialists and Germans."9
This would have been a remarkable sum that would be worth hundreds of thousands in today’s currency. This has fueled subsequent speculation on if Trotsky was funded by sympathetic wealthy Jews in America. Trotsky biographer Kenneth Ackerman writes that Trotsky ingratiated himself well with the Jewish community during his period living in New York before the revolution:
“Many of these Jews in New York knew Trotsky as someone who had outspokenly denounced the Tsar for his anti-Semitism, so he was very popular.”10
The agent who sent the telegram alleging Trotsky was carrying a fortune ordered that Trotsky be detained after his stop in Halifax, Canada. This was overruled by an MI6 Agent, who concluded the information originated with “an agent provocateur, used by the old Russian Secret Police”. Ackerman believes that:
If Trotsky in fact had been carrying it, he would have had to throw it overboard into the ocean or the deep waters of Bedford Basin to avoid the British finding it, highly unlikely given the hundreds of witnesses on board.11
Overall then, the evidence for Trotsky leaving the US with a massive fortune is a little dubious, but in any case there would nothing to connect it to bankers like Warburg or Schiff.
Schiff and Warburg supplied Trotsky with $20 million in gold, today worth billions (26:38)
Conspiracy websites say it was reported that Schiff’s son John in “The Knickerbocker Column” of the New York Journal American in February 1949. They seem to recirculate this quote:
“Today it is estimated by Jacob's grandson, John Schiff, that the old man sank about $20,000,000 for the final triumph of Bolshevism in Russia."
This doesn’t seem to me credible by itself, as it’s a second-hand account of a statement by Schiff’s grandson, which doesn’t seem to be corroborated with anything else. Moreover, Europa specifically adds that it was gold for some reason, which isn’t included in other versions of this conspiracy. Where did it get that from? Wouldn’t lumbering $20 million worth of gold — billions worth in today’s money — across the world present some practical problems for Trotsky? Wouldn’t it have been recorded in the report documenting the $10,000 fortune he left America with? Or noticed when he arrived in England?
90,000 revolutionaries, mostly Jews and freemasons returned to Russia to join the revolution (26:44)
We don’t know exactly how many entered Russia to partake in revolution, but it’s nothing close to 90,000. So where did Europa get this figure? This is the number historians estimated were the “Jailbirds of Kerensky” released from prison in Russia. A pretty serious error on the filmmakers’ part. Also, it sure is convenient Europa tells us these tens of thousands of Jews not recorded anywhere changed their names to Russian.
Jewish-Swedish banker Olof Aschberg funded the Bolsheviks; his grandson is a former communist and anti-White activist today (26:57)
True.
Jewish chairman of the executive committee Jacob Sverdlov ordered Jewish Cheka commander Jacob Yurovsky to kill the Tsar’s family under orders from Jacob Schiff (27:35)
Much like the Federal Reserve chairmen bit, this is a fairly typical case of Europa having information that’s remarkable in showing the extent of Jewish influence, but adding an outright lie to make it seem even more remarkable, thus discrediting the whole thing.
Yurovsky and Sverdlov were both Jews, Yurovsky was in charge of the murders of the Romanov family, and Sverdlov played a major role in organising it alongside Lenin and Filipp Goloshchyokin. But there is no source that suggests Yurovsky ordered this to appease Jacob Schiff.
Four Jewish assassins murdered the Romanov family (28:30)
Europa lists these assassins as Yurovsky, Grigory P. Nikulin, Peter Ermakov and Stepan Vaganov. Of these four, only Yurovsky was Jewish.
Jewish postcards prove the Tsar was killed in a Jewish ritual sacrifice (29:45)
Europa says this postcard depicting the Tsar being used in a Jewish sacrifice ritual was passed around Jewish shops after the murder of the Romanovs. But apparently, this postcard originates from 1905, over a decade before the Tsar’s death. The only thing it really proves is that Jews had long held a deep enmity for the Tsar.
In this regard, it’s worth noting that similar images were made of Hitler during his leadership of Germany:
Since it’s not proof for a Jewish ritual murder of Hitler, it only shows that Jews of the time had a similar hatred for the Tsar as they later did for Hitler.

I'm curious as to why you don't consider this quote to be credible:
“Today it is estimated by Jacob's grandson, John Schiff, that the old man sank about $20,000,000 for the final triumph of Bolshevism in Russia."
Not sure if you've read it, but Ron Unz mentions this in his article on the Bolshevik revolution and considers it to be very credible. He's defended it multiple times in comments too. He claims that the New York Journal American was one of the leading papers in New York at the time and the quote would have certainly been disputed by John Schiff if it wasn't authentic.
You might find Unz's article interesting also because it provides more sources on the funding of the Bolsheviks by Jewish bankers.

We need to clear out the slop and misinformation on the Jewish question so that we can make a plausible case for our beliefs and aims. We absolutely can, we just need to stick to the facts. Good work Keith.
