"Under the Sign of Scorpion" by Juri - Gnostic Liberation Front

estaurants and hospitals were closed. No newspapers were published.
Nothing worked. Agitated masses crowded in all the large cities, waving
red flags and standing on street corners, listening to Jewish speakers who
demanded an end to the tsarist regime. Already in April 1905, Trotsky had
released a leaflet encouraging the people to overthrow the Tsar. Trotsky
had returned from Switzerland in January 1905, but his activities with the
subversive movements reached their peak precisely in October.
The Tsar's advisor, Sergei Witte, demanded on the 9th (22nd) of Octo-
ber that Nicholas II should either summon the Parliament, the Duma, and
have him named Prime Minister or have to use force against the masses.
The Tsar followed this advice and Witte became Prime Minister on the
same day.
Parvus and Trotsky founded the first Kahal, which was called soviet in
Russian, on the 13th (26th) of October 1905. This soviet began with 40
council members, all of whom dreamed of seizing power. All "revolutio-
nary" activity was co-ordinated from this Jewish organisational centre,
which was camouflaged as a workers' council. The chairman at the
beginning was the Jew Peter Khrustalyev (Georgi Nosar). His closest
collaborators were Leon Trotsky and Alexander Parvus. The other leading
members were neither poor peasants nor workers, but Jewish conspirators
and freemasons: Grever, Edilken, Goldberg, A Simanovsky, A. Feif,
Matzelev, Bruser and others. These people were supposedly representing
the Russian working class, despite the fact that no one had elected them.
Trotsky believed the Soviets to be an excellent means with which to
continue the traditions of the Paris Commune. He hoped to win power for
himself through the chaos they caused. Parvus and Trotsky continued to
feed the flames of the general strike and the resultant national chaos
though their secret network. The instigators actually believed the tsarist
regime was about to break down. The soviet had intended to keep the
general strike going as long as possible, but the workers' eagerness to
revolt faded away. The agitators no longer had the people behind them.
The Tsar also announced a manifesto on the 17th (30th) of October, in
which he promised that suffrage would be broadened and that the
legislative power would be divided between the parliament and govern-
ment. The people began to calm down. Trotsky, who had his 26th birthday
on the 25th of October (November 7th), was deeply disappointed. The
attempt to take power had failed.
