What makes you think that all the over the top paranoid disinformation regarding the Jєωs so copiously available is reliable??? How do you know that the monstrous plot for world dominion by the Jєωs isn't just disinformation? How can you be so certain that it's exclusively the Jєωs who aim for world power? Can you provide irrefutable proof? If I'm wrong, can you please provide all the pertinent resources. On the other hand, there is ample proof that the Russians to this day are involved in a massive campaign of disinformation to further their plot of subversion and to ultimately attain world dominion. The real conspiracy is Communism. Not all the crackpot NWO lunacy which seeks to blame the Jєωs for every conceivable evil under the sun. Now I don't deny that Jєωs haven't in the past or in the present been involved in this wicked Satanic plot. I truly believe that it's very unfair and even racist to insinuate that the Jєωs alone are responsible. All the facts are there for anyone interested in learning the real truth. People need to stop relying so much on the internet for information and start reading real history books.
It's a well known fact that Russia has since the days of the Tsars promoted anti-Semitic propaganda. The Tsar himself was a terrible αnтι-ѕємιтє. Because of the harsh treatment the Jєωs received (forcing them to live in the pale of settlement and barred from practicing many professions) is it any wonder why they were provoked and conspired to topple the Tsar and his regime and why they so highly outnumbered other nationalities among the Bolsheviks? It's also true that under the Soviet system anti-Semitism also was heavily disseminated and that Stalin greatly disliked Jєωs.
I have no agenda as you infer to cast aspersions on Russia or its people. My reason for posting such information is solely to make people aware of the extremes the Soviets and now Russia under Putin use to discredit and undermine the West, particularly the United States.
http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1919/mar/x10.htm When the accursed tsarist monarchy was living its last days it tried to incite ignorant workers and peasants against the Jєωs. The tsarist police, in alliance with the landowners and the capitalists, organised pogroms against the Jєωs. The landowners and capitalists tried to divert the hatred of the workers and peasants who were tortured by want against the Jєωs.
Among the Jєωs there are kulaks, exploiters and capitalists, just as there are among the Russians, and among people of all nations. The capitalists strive to sow and foment hatred between workers of different faiths, different nations and different races. Those who do not work are kept in power by the power and strength of capital. Rich Jєωs, like rich Russians, and the rich in all countries, are in alliance to oppress, crush, rob and disunite the workers.

On the Jєωιѕн Problem
You ask me if the Jєωιѕн question still exists in the USSR. Yes, it exists, just as the Ukrainian, the Georgian, even the Russian questions exist there. The omnipotent bureaucracy stifles the development of national culture just as it does the whole of culture. Worse still, the country of the great proletarian revolution is now passing through a period of profound reaction. If the revolutionary wave revived the finest sentiments of human solidarity, the Thermidorian reaction has stirred up all that is low, dark and backward in this agglomeration of 170 million people. To reinforce its domination the bureaucracy does not even hesitate to resort in a scarcely camouflaged manner to chauvinistic tendencies, above all to anti-semitic ones. The latest Moscow trial, for example, was staged with the hardly concealed design of presenting internationalists as faithless and lawless Jєωs who are capable of selling themselves to the German Gestapo.
Since 1925 and above all since 1926, anti-semitic demagogy, well camouflaged, unattackable, goes hand in hand with symbolic trials against avowed pogromists. You ask me if the old Jєωιѕн petty bourgeoisie in the USSR has been socially assimilated by the new soviet environment. I am indeed at a loss to give you a clear reply. The social and national statistics in the USSR are extremely tendencious. They do not serve to set forth the truth, but above all to glorify the leaders, the chiefs, the creators of happiness. An important part of the Jєωιѕн petty bourgeoisie has been absorbed by the formidable apparatuses of the state, industry, commerce, the cooperatives, etc., above all in their lower and middle layers. This fact engenders an anti-semitic state of feeling and the leaders manipulate it with a cunning skill in order to canalize and to direct especially against the Jєωs the existing discontent against the bureaucracy.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2003/aug/16/20030816-105043-6895r/?page=allWhile the Georgian-born Stalin didn’t particularly favor one nationality over another during his reign of terror, he was a “breaker of nations,” as in Robert Conquest’s book title — and he had a particular hatred for Soviet Jєωs. Stalin’s own daughter, Svetlana, attested to that psychosis:
“His anti-Semitism surely originated from the long years of struggle with Trotsky and his supporters,. What was originally political hate gradually became a feeling of racial hatred against all Jєωs, without exception.”
The Lustiger book is one of several recently published about Stalin’s war against the Soviet Jєωs, but this is one which has Soviet docuмents I have not seen before.
The Bolshevik revolution began, as Mr. Lustiger tells it, with a campaign against anti-Semitism and promotion of the Yiddish language and literature. At one point, there were 400 Yiddish periodicals. By 1938, there were none. The Communists liquidated Jєωιѕн institutions, publishing houses, cultural associations and arrested their employees.
It was providential that the 73-year-old Stalin suffered a stroke on Feb. 28, 1953 on the same day as the Jєωιѕн holiday of Purim. It was also on the same day that deportations to Siberia of more than one million Jєωs from Moscow alone and millions more from other parts of the Soviet Union were to begin. There is some evidence that Stalin was also preparing new Moscow trials of those who had, during his genocidal reign, been his closest colleagues, like Vyacheslav Molotov whom Stalin forced to separate from his Jєωιѕн wife. (Molotov’s wife was suspect because she had been heard speaking Yiddish with the then-Israeli ambassador, Golda Meir.) Part of Stalin’s anti-Semitism was to conjure up the so-called Doctor’s Plot, in which the Kremlin doctors, most of them Jєωs, “confessed” under torture that they had deliberately misdiagnosed health problems of Soviet leaders. These accusations produced, says Mr. Lustiger, a “mass hysteria,” so that Russians refused to accept medications by Jєωιѕн physicians. All these doctors were freed a few days after Stalin’s death.

Stalin, from his earliest days as a seminary student in Tiflis, hated “yids.” In 1906 he stated that the hated Mensheviks were a “Jєωιѕн organization” but that the Bolsheviks were a truly Russian group. He therefore, ‘in jest’ recommended a pogrom against the Mensheviks.
But it was not until after Hitler’s defeat in World War II and the beginning of the Cold War that this latent hatred turned into a public obsession. As Conquest writes:
Stalin’s attitude [towards the Jєωs] seems to have been based in part on what he took to be Hitler’s successful use of anti-Semitic demagogy. It was certainly also due to his increasing Russian nationalism, to which he felt, most, or many, Jєωs were not truly assimilable. And the idea of a special Jєωιѕн predilection for capitalism is of course to be found in Marx. He especially opposed Jєωs who were Bundists, or religious activists, or ‘cosmopolitans,’ or secessionists, or Zionists, or were agents of American-Israeli organizations.
In the autumn of 1948 Golda Meir arrived in Moscow as Israeli ambassador. A huge crowd of Jєωs turned out to greet her on Rosh Hashanah. On 8 November she was warmly welcomed at a diplomatic reception by Polina Molotov (the wife of V.M. Molotov, Stalin’s longtime foreign minister), herself a member of the Jєωιѕн Anti-Fascist Committee. For Stalin this public and private demonstration of Jєωιѕн feeling seems to have been the last straw. …an open, full-scale campaign of attacks on Jєωιѕн culture and attitudes, and on Zionism, soon began in the press. The theme was that the country’s values were being undermined by ‘rootless cosmopolitans.’ There was a particularly vicious assault on [Jєωιѕн] theater critics, eventually described as ‘an anti-party group.’ When their Russianized names or pseudonyms were given, the original Jєωιѕн name was printed in brackets, and papers asked how anyone so named could understand Russian culture. Meanwhile unpublicized arrests [of Jєωs], especially of writers in Yiddish, continued, and there was a general growth of public anti-Jєωιѕн pressure. Among those arrested at the end of 1948 was Polina Molotov.
Her husband made no comment or protest to Stalin as his wife was carried off into the Siberian gulag
