The Menace of Communism
For thirty-five years, the present writer wrote on and spoke about "Communism" without knowing
what it was. After consulting hundreds of reference works on Communism, I had found not one
mention of the fact that Communism was but one branch of the world revolutionary forces of
the Masonic Order of Canaanites. We have previously pointed out that the members of the First
Communist International were Lionel de Rothschild, Karl Marx, and Heinrich Heine. Not only
did Karl Marx maintain close ties with the Jesuits and Freemasonry throughout his career; he
was also directly related to the British aristocracy through his marriage to Jenny von Westphalen,
a descendant of the Countess of Balcarras and Argyll, two of the oldest titles in England. The
Countess had been governess to William of Orange before he invaded England and chartered
the Bank of England. It was the Masonic connection which obtained a steady income for Karl
Marx, through commissions for writing for New York newspapers. Lenin also maintained close
Masonic ties during his years in Switzerland, before he returned to Russia to lead the Bolshevik
Revolution. In Switzerland, he had become the member of a secret Lodge under the name of
"Ulianov Zederbaum." He received regular financial support, as well as occasional visits, from
Sir Alfred Milner (founder of the Round Tables, la~ the Council on Foreign Relations), and Lord
Palmerston, foreign minister of England. Both Milner and PaImerston had attained the 33rd, or
revolutionary degree.
Meanwhile, the richest man in the world, the Czar of Russia, seemed helpless in the face of his
country's slow slide into anarchy. Long before the advent of Rasputin, his court had been rife
with occultists. The Tribune de Geneve headlined a dispatch on December 21, 1902, "RUSSIA:
An Occultist at Court. The Daily Mail correspondent at Odessa telegraphed that paper the real
facts concerning the occultist Phlippe's presence at the Tzar's court. Philippe has gained great
influence over the Czar." The dispatch further stated that Philippe Nizier of Lyons had been
presented to Nicholas by Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolaevitch. Earlier, in Lyons, Nizier had been
sued for the unlawful practice of medicine. A French doctor, Gerard Encausse, had written
voluminously on Kabbalah and magic. He had been introduced by Philippe to the Grand Duke.
Encausse wrote his treatises on magic under the name of "Papus." The Swiss Gazette noted,
December 20, 1902, "Few people know that there exists in Paris a kind of small University of
Occultism, where students register, examinations are passed, and academic degrees conferred.
For instance, one can obtain a diploma of Bachelor of Occult Science, or Doctor in Kabbalah.
Papus is President and organizer."
Thus, the occult influence at the Court of Czar Nicholas is traced directly to a school of the occult
in Paris. It is not too fanciful to conjecture that this school operates with the backing of the Grand
Orient of Paris, since Freemasonry is always concerned with the occult. The Czar's later inability
to act decisively in times of crisis, which led directly to the downfall of his government, may
have been due to drugs or hypnotism. The world's most powerful autocrat was described by
observers as "remarkably passive" and unable to take direct action when his regime was
threatened with revolution. Indeed King Louis had reacted in much the same way at the onset
of the French Revolution during the weeks before he was deposed and sent to the guillotine. It
is difficult to believe that such absolute autocrats would meekly resign themselves to "the will
of the people" and go unresisting to their deaths.
Apparently at the mercy of the occult influences at his court, Czar Nicholas was arrested, and a
Provisional Government was set up. This government was headed by Kerensky, a 32d degree
Mason, who had been chosen as head of the Provisional Government by Josef Sliozberg, the
Grand Master of the International Order of B'Nai B'Rith in Russia. Kerensky had only one
mission; to hold the fort until Lenin arrived on the sealed train from Switzerland. After the
Bolshevik Revolution, Kerensky was permitted to peacefully emigrate to the United States, where
he became a well-paid lecturer at leading universities. The Masonic Order of Canaanites always
