Was the Russian Tsar controlled opposition?

Here is a new set of information, looking at Tsar Nicholas II with a different perspective. In this research you will notice that Nicholas II was making a lot of questioning decisions which just can’t all be blamed on his ‘incompetence’ or ‘ignorance’.

A lot of the actions taken by Nicholas II were key in making the Bolshevik Revolution happen.

One great example would be him approving of the October Manifesto which led to Freemasonry flourishing in Russia as well as giving Communist Jews political representation in the newly created parliament. His close ties with both Witte and Rasputin is also highly questionable.

Witte has long been proven to be a very corrupt individual who had friendly ties with the same Jewish bankers that wished to see the downfall of Tsarist Russia. Witte was responsible for putting Russia into massive debt to Jewish bankers, yet, Nicholas II thought it was a great idea to allow him to retain his position of Minister of Finance and would later make the first Prime Minister of Russia?

For more in-depth research into the traitor Sergei Witte, check this out.

Another thing that Nicholas II did was to personally intervene to save Jewish communist terrorists from being executed.

“In May 1903, Gershuni was arrested in Kiev. In February 1904, Gershuni was tried by a military court in Saint Petersburg and received a death sentence, which later was reduced to life imprisonment at a hard labour camp by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia.[5] In 1906, he hid in a barrel of sauerkraut and escaped from the Akatuy katorga to China”

Gershuni was a terrorist leader of the highly dangerous SR Combat Organization. Gershuni was responsible for the murder of multiple of Nicholas II’s political officials. He made it clear that he wanted to use terrorism to take down Tsarist Russia. Now…why would Nicholas II personally intervene to save him from execution?

Only for him to soon after conveniently escape?

That’s another point: There are too many examples of prominent Jewish communists who get caught, get sentenced to ‘hard labor’ and soon after, they all easily escape.

Stalin himself escaped up to 5 times! How is that even possible? How is he able to escape even once and how was he not executed the second time they caught him?

All of this was happening under Nicholas II’s watch.

More examples:

“On 11 March, Spiridonova was tried and convicted of Luzhenovsky’s murder and sentenced to death. However, the tribunal also asked that the sentence be commuted to penal servitude in Siberia, in view of her ill health. This was approved on 20 March.[10] The liberal press continued its campaign in her support. On 2 April, Avramov was himself assassinated, creating a further sensation.”

para 11 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Spiridonova#Luzhenovsky_assassination

“One morning, a prison guard told Izmailovich that she would be hanged within five days. Although she was not concerned about the death sentence, her sisters hired her a defense lawyer for her court martial. When the lawyer brought her the indictment, she was shocked to discover it named an innocent baker’s assistant as the bomb thrower.[24] Her lawyer advised her to call witnesses of the 18 October events, who could testify about the massacre of peaceful protestors ordered by Kurlov. She compiled a list, but the court refused to permit her any witnesses in her defense. After saying goodbye to her comrade in the room above her, and expressing her love for him, she prepared herself for her death.[25] He told her not to imagine herself to be a second Sophia Perovskaya, as he believed her sentence would be commuted.

After a few minutes of deliberation, the judges found Izmailovich and Pulikhov guilty of the charges of conspiracy to murder and sentenced them to execution by hanging. But following appeals by her sisters, the sentence was commuted to a life sentence of penal labour

paras 11, 13 & 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandra_Izmailovich#Trial

Here’s another Jewish terrorist who was sentenced to death but had her sentence commuted – escaped Siberia TWICE

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariya_Shkolnik

“Sukloff was part of the shesterka, a group of six SR women who were sentenced to Siberia together following attempted murders in 1905–06. All were first sentenced to death and then had their punishment commuted. The shesterka included Sukloff, Spiridonova, Revekka Moiseevna Fialka, Lidiya Pavlovna”

page 200, footnote 91

“Spiridonova was sent to Siberia in the company of five other prominent female SR terrorists. The group was sometimes called the Shesterka (“Six”). As a result of the press campaign, Spiridonova was the most famous. She was also young, attractive, and an ethnic Russian (at least four of the others were Jewish, Belarusian, and Ukrainian)”

para 14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Spiridonova#Exile_to_Siberia

At least two of the six were Jewish, Shkolnik (Sukloff) and Fialka – All of them had their sentenced commuted.

And being that we are talking about SR Combat Organization. It was run by the Jew Yevno Azef, who was the chief of this terrorist group from 1904 to 1908. But he was also an agent of the Tsarist secret police, and he was still an agent throughout all the years he was the leader of the terrorist group. It took a whole 4 years before Azef had to flee. And there we go again, one big Jewish terrorist being allowed to escape justice and manage to flee.

Again, all of this was going on under the watch of Tsar Nicholas II.. and instead of doing something about it.. he continued to add fuel to the fire..

So it makes me wonder…

Was he ever an enemy of the Jews? We know that the Romonovs were big into Freemasonry, at least from the 1700s with (Jew) Peter the Great, and from there, Freemasonry continued to spread its toxic influence all over Russia.

“He (Peter the Great) had a Jewish ancestor, through his mother’s line, a Karaite Jew named Naryshko.”

Then we see that Nicholas II was responsible for allowing Freemasonry to become prominent in Russia once again, but this time it was done at a very fast pace. And we know that the lodges that were established as a result of the October Manifesto were responsible for the February Revolution, which paved the way for the Bolshevik Revolution.

With the Duma being established thanks to Tsar Nicholas II and Witte, it was filled with revolutionaries (Jews) who wanted to implement communist reforms in Russia and called for amnesty for political prisoners. It was being used as a political instrument against Tsarist rule. So Nicholas II decided to abolish it. Smart move right?

Only for him to re-establish the Duma again.

There were a total of four dumas; two were abolished, the other two were changed. And each time it was because it was used as a political weapon against the Tsarist government. It was quite clear from the first Duma what its intention was.. so why in the world did Nicholas II think it was a great idea to keep it around? Why abolish it only to put it back again?

Duma became completely filled with Freemasons and Jewish communists, and it was then used to abolish Tsardom. It accomplished what the first Duma had intended to accomplish.. It was made possible because of Nicholas II’s refusal to abolish the Duma permanently.

It’s almost as if the Tsar is collaborating with his supposed enemies to bring down Tsarist Russia itself. Similar to what Assad did.

A prominent Jewish connection to Nicolas II are the immensely powerful Gunzburg family (“The Russian Rothschilds”).

They were in direct contact with Tsar Nicholas II’s court & government in a formal capacity

“Thus, we have before us one of the most famous Jewish families in Russia at that time – the family of Baron Gintsburg [Günzburg]. The members of this family not only possessed, as contemporaries believed, “fabulous wealth,” but were, as they are now written in the Russian press, “cult” figures for the vast majority of the Jews of the Russian Empire. Indeed, they had enormous financial wealth & connections with the tsar’s court & international banking capital.

Here is Jewish Baron Horace Ginzburg with the hidden hand.

Information on Rasputin:

”Yusupov saw “distinctly Jewish-type” men at Rasputin’s in Petrograd, hence he suspected him of nefarious activities. Father Shavelsky complained to the tsar that Rasputin went out drinking with “Jews and all sorts of dark personalities.” The police recorded a Jewish merchant from Minsk visiting Rasputin in Pokrovskoe and had the man thoroughly investigated. Socializing with Jews was something upper-class Russians typically did not do. It signified bad taste, or something worse.

”From the ugly prejudice of his earlier years, Rasputin grew to accept Jews, as friends and business colleagues, and even to champion liberalized state policies toward Russia’s Jews that put him well ahead of the vast majority of his countrymen. Part of the reason for this was the fact that Russian nationalists had themselves turned away from Rasputin, but just as important was Rasputin’s own personality, his relaxed tolerance toward other nationalities and faiths and his general live-and-let-live nature. The artist Alexander Raevsky recalled during one of his sessions with Rasputin in 1912 how someone in his studio began to curse the Jews. In a flash, Rasputin cut the person off: “That’s not true!” he yelled. “All people are equal before God … Once I traveled from Jerusalem with a Jew. He was a kind man, a pious man. Just as among Christians, so too among them, one finds all kinds of people.”

‘Best remembered of the Jews close to Rasputin was his secretary Aaron Simanovich.”

”He also opened a number of gambling parlors, being himself an inveterate gambler, known to win, and lose, big on high-stakes games at the tables. Reports as to his character diverge wildly. One Okhrana report described him as “quite a nasty man, a powerful string-puller with an insinuating manner, capable of any adventure or speculation.””

”At the time of Rasputin’s murder Simanovich said the two men had met, by coincidence, in 1900 at the railway station in Kazan, and then renewed their acquaintance and began to grow close around 1911.6 Could Simanovich’s gambling addiction have played a role? The Petersburg press reported in 1914 that when the “Capital Arts and Social Club,” the anodyne name behind which one of the city’s larger gambling establishments operated, was on the verge of bankruptcy, Rasputin stepped in to arrange a large loan to keep it afloat. The club, according to the article, was notorious for all sorts of vice and illegality, but this never seemed to bother Rasputin, and although he did not play the tables himself, he liked to come and watch the action”’

  Book by Douglas Smith

Check this quote out from the same source as above:

”Simanovich purportedly witnessed Rasputin’s respect for Jews at Gorokhovaya. “If among the petitioners were some generals,” Simanovich recalled, “then he would jokingly say to them: ‘Dear Generals, you are used to always being received first. But there are Jews here, people without any rights, and I should see to them first. Jews, let us talk. I want to do everything for you.’”

The Tsar was fully aware of Rasputin’s close ties to Jews, despite this, he still decided to keep him around in his inner circle. Again, how many times can his blunders be blamed on incompetence…

“That this letter demonstrated Rasputin’s prophetic abilities was reinforced for the Imperial Family when the Empress and her daughters went to work in the military hospital set up in the Catherine Palace and saw the horrors of the Great War for themselves. The hospital, and other charities run by the Empress, were funded by Dmitri Rubenstein, a wealthy Jewish banker and friend of Rasputin’s. This connection, and Rasputin’s increasingly public philosemitism, helped to stir up anti-Rasputin sentiment on the extreme-Right, to join that on the extreme-Left.”

para 12 https://kyleorton.co.uk/2021/12/13/rasputin-and-the-empress/

Rasputin had possible ties to the German Foreign Ministry through Dmitri Rubenstein. And as we know, the German Foreign Ministry was filled with crypto Jewish, advancing the Bolshevik cause.

Max Warburg, Parvus, and also Rasputin’s close buddy, Rubenstein, helped the Bolsheviks get in touch with the Imperial Bank of Germany.

This is a testimony from Alexander A. Khvostov, former prime minister of Imperial Russia, an ultra nationalist, a monarchist and a stark opponent of the Bolsheviks. He was arrested when the Freemasonic Provisional Government took over and was shot dead soon after Bolsheviks took over.

”Question: How did you sense the role of Rasputin?

Khvostov: He was a very convenient means for German espionage. Although I did not catch him in espionage, it logically seemed to me that he was a spy, not a conscious one, but a tool for espionage, because it was very easy to find out through him what was going on in Tsarskoye Selo. Obviously, the Germans are very clever people….It seems to me that he was in the hands of German agents. I tried to catch them, but failed.

There were several suspicious persons around him, but I had no information to act on. I suspected Hartvig [Alexandra Hartvig, a nurse who managed the Empress’s war supply department]: an investigation was being conducted about her, which was later discontinued. She was suspicious. Then there was Dolgorukaya [Princess Olga Dolgorukaya], who lived at the Astoria and behaved suspiciously. She was some adventuress who had bought the title by marrying Prince Dolgoruky. Rasputin visited her…In my testimony on the Rubinstein [Dmitri Rubenstein, involved in multiple businesses, later arrested for his financial corruption] case I set forth in detail the reason why I believed that Rasputin was a spy. I found the following facts. Rubenstein gave Rasputin instructions to go to Tsarskoye Selo to find out about any military offenses that were planned, as Rubenstein said he needed to know in order to buy timber….Rasputin told me that he did as asked and related what he had learned to Rubenstein….Rasputin was extremely contemptuous of the former Emperor’s personality but he very much approved of the former Empress, said that she was clever, that she was Catherine II, and in general praised her terribly.

He treated the former emperor in such a way that the detectives thought it inconvenient for them to write down what he said in their notes. He only referred to him as “Papa.” I heard him say: “I was at Tsarkoye and when I entered Papa was sitting there all sad. I stroked his head and said, ‘Why are you sad?’ He answered, ‘All the scoundrels are around! There are no boots, no guns. We have to advance, but we can’t advance!’…Rasputin asked him for details of the attack….Whether Rubinstein needed this information in order to buy timber, or in order to report to Berlin by radio telegraph…is difficult to establish…”

From the same testimony, check this out, the Tsar defended Rubinstein by not providing any support to bring charges against him.

”Khvostov: In the case of Rubinstein’s espionage, Manasevich-Manuilov [Ivan Manasevich-Manuilov, former official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, arrested for embezzlement but Rasputin arranged for the charges to be dismissed], as an experienced man, could divert any case like an old fox from its hole. It seems to me that this is why the Rubinstein case has not gone to trial….When I had the information against Rubenstein, I made a categorical report to the Emperor. He went to the window, did not want to listen, pretending that he was not interested. I asked him to listen to him. The report was so complete and finally he said, “Do what you want. I believe you.””

”Do what you want”.. I.E.. I am not going to do anything about it myself, and without my support or my inner circles support like Rasputin.. nothing will happen to Rubinstein..”

Are we starting to see a trend of the Tsar defending criminal Jews?

Here is a letter written by an officer in the Imperial Army that laid out very insightful perspective about Nicholas II.
