-Caveat Lector-
Hello Tony:
I do not have any original documents. The checkable facts Griffin has
referenced are the February 3 1949 issue of the New York Journal American. He
also says that on March 24, 1917, the New York Times quotes a telegram sent
by Schiff regarding the abdication of Nicholas II. He described the Russian
revolution as "...what we had hoped and striven for these long years."
Griffin also says that $10,000 was given to Trotsky to organize the Bolshevik
phase of the Russian Revolution. The amount is known with certainty because
Trotsky was arrested by Canadian and British naval personnel when Trotsky's
ship, the S.S. Kristianiafjord, put in at Halifax.
pg 265
"...it was assumed that the $10,000 was German money given to him in New
York. The evidence, however, is that this, too, came from Kuhn, Loeb and
company."
Griffin's footnote here cites your book Tony, "Wall Street and the Bolshevik
Revolution." p21-24
Griffin also states that most of Trotsky's expenses whilst in New York for
several months after he was thrown out of France in January 1916, were paid
for by Jacob Schiff. pg 264
<< Thank you Gavin for pointing out these apparent discrepancies
Let me try to explain the problem.
Ive been working away at this conspiracy area in its various aspects since
about 1960, and so has Ed Griffin, whom I have known for 20+ years with much
respect .
Back in the early 1970's I worked through the State Department Decimal file (
the CIA of 1920), the files of the War Trade Board, the British Foreign
Office Confidential files and the German OKW files..
If you look at my WALL STREET AND THE BOLSEHVIK REVOLUTION( Buccaneers Book)
and AMERICAS SECRET ESTABLISHMENT ( LIBERTY HOUSE PRESS) you will find I base
the case on ORIGINAL documents (telegrams, letters, memos, S&B membership
list etc). No one has ever refuted these documents.
From the research viewpoint it leaves open whether Schiff and Jewish
bankers.
also financed the Bolsheviks. If you read the appendix in BOLSHEVIK
REVOLUTION you will find a review of the Jewish banker argument .At that time
I had no evidence that they provided any funds and I still have no
documentary evidence.
However I did find disinformation coming out of the WAR TRADE BAORD directed
by John Foster Dulles, close to the Wall Street operators (Morgan, Thompson,
Thacher)o. This is confirmed in the Scotland Yard files.
I have always based arguments on documentary evidence at hand. If anyone has
documentary material contrary to my argument then I assuredly would like to
see it.. On the other hand I do not rely on quotes from interested parties.
In no way does this detract from the decades long work of Edward Griffin.
This is a murky.field and we all, me included, tread warily.
Show me some original documents, Gavin.
Thank you for your interest.
TONY SUTTON.
