He even took aid from the German's. Russia couldn't even supply all of its soldiers with rifles. In 1915, 25% of the Russian troops at the front were unarmed; they had to wait to inherit the guns of dead soldiers. At least the tsarist government demonstrated even-handed incompetence by neglecting civilians. The transportation system broke down, and the cities went without food and fuel. thestreet.com By March 1917, the civilians were rioting and the soldiers mutinying. The tsar, Nicholas II, was at the front "inspiring" the troops. His imperious majesty would have been safer with the Germans. He found himself under arrest and confronted with a delegation of government officials demanding his abdication. Thus, a new and liberal government came to power in Russia. All those cultured, sensitive souls from Chekhov plays were running the country. This provisional government commanded the fervent support of millions; unfortunately, none of them were in Russia. What is freedom of the press to a nation of illiterates? The provisional government inherited chaos and chose to perpetuate it. Although the world war had toppled the monarchy, the new government intended to keep Russia in the carnage. . The Russian masses were ready for any leader or ideology that ended the war, and Lenin took this as his opportunity. The donors didn't envision a Stalin taking power after Lennin was shot and that they would never get what they expected. Message 19201898 Money buys air time for propaganda, sometimes called campaign ads The CFR through many fronts gives money to their candidates Why are there at least half a dozen political parties frozen out by the media and cash poor because corporations and special interest groups don't donate to them? So the one party, two platform political system stays in power. They are invited to join because they already have the same ideology as the CFR. That's a criteria of membership. So they can join, and then work on the grand scheme. They are an elite group. I have read extensively for years to learn what I have. Most Americans are lazy and just judge from a little mainstream news.
