Wall Street and the Bolshevik

Revolution

Professor Antony Sutton with Dr. Stan Monteith, Radio Liberty, July 29th, 1999.

Antony Sutton wrote and spoke about financing Nazism through Skull and Bones,  Bonesman W. Averell Harriman (financier of Hitler while being U.S. Ambassador in Moscow…), Bonesman Prescott Bush, Henry Ford, IG Farben (Headquarters in Rothschild’s Frankfurt was not allowed to be bombed by the “allied forces”), Rockefeller’s Standard Oil, Jewish owned Royal Dutch SHELL, The Bank for International Settlements in Basel (its co-founder Hjalmar Schacht, a J.P. Morgan banker, became “Hitler’s Finance Wizard”), Lord Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England from 1920 to 1944, etc, etc. But still there are fools who prefer to believe that the tyrant Adolf Hitler was an independent force for “good”.

Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The

Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists

Who Financed the Russian Communists, By

Anthony Sutton (1974)

“Sutton comes to conclusions that are uncomfortable for many businessmen and economists. For this reason, his work tends to be either dismissed out of hand as ‘extreme’ or, more often, simply ignored.” ―Richard Pipes, Baird Professor Emeritus of History, Harvard University (from Survival Is Not Enough: Soviet Realities and America’s Future)

Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government and, subsequently, the Bolshevik regime.

In a courageous investigation, Antony Sutton establishes tangible historical links between Russian communists and US capitalists. Drawing on US state department files, personal papers of key Wall Street figures, biographies, and conventional histories, Sutton reveals:

• The role of Morgan banking executives in funneling illegal Bolshevik gold into the US.
• The co-option of the American Red Cross by powerful Wall Street forces.
• The intervention by Wall Street sources to free the Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky, whose aim was to topple the Russian government.
• The deals made by major corporations to capture the huge Russian market a decade and a half before the US recognized the Soviet regime.
• The secret sponsoring of Communism by leading businessmen, who publicly championed free enterprise.

Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution traces the foundations of Western funding of the Soviet Union. Dispassionately, and with overwhelming documentation, the author details a crucial phase in the establishment of Communist Russia.

This classic study―first published in 1974 and part of a key trilogy―is reproduced here in its original form. The other volumes in this trilogy are Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Wall Street and FDR.
