Lenin left Switzerland to resume his revolutionary activities in Russia. He was among
250,000 revolutionaries to return. Lenin received $5 to $6 million in gold from Germany to
finance the Bolshevik (Russian) revolution. About the same time Trotsky left New York for
Russia with 275 revolutionaries and US financing for the Russian revolution. “In New York, on
the night before his departure, Trotsky had given a speech in which he said: ‘I am going back to
Russia to overthrow the provisional government and stop the war with Germany.’”

According
to Professor Antony Sutton, Trotsky was aided in his efforts to reach Russia by President Wilson
who provided a passport at the same time the State Department was clamping down on potential
revolutionaries headed for Russia. Sutton stated:
President Woodrow Wilson was the fairy godmother who provided
Trotsky with a passport to return to Russia to “carry forward” the revolution…. At
the same time careful State Department bureaucrats, concerned about such
revolutionaries entering Russia, were unilaterally attempting to tighten up
passport procedures.

On his trip to Russia, Trotsky was arrested in Halifax, Nova
Scotia and put in prison by the Canadian government and his money was impounded. Since
Trotsky had promised to stop Russia’s war with Germany, Canada considered him to be a
German agent and he was considered to be a prisoner of war. Canada feared that if Russia made
peace with Germany, more Germans would be available to fight Canadian troops. That is just
what eventually happened.

The United States (through Colonel House who was President Wilson’s closest advisor)
and Britain (through Sir William Wiseman) pressured Canada to release Trotsky, an act nothing
short of treason. After five days Trotsky was released and he and his money completed their trip
to Russia. Concerning Trotsky’s involvement in the Russian Revolution and American financing
of him, Congressman Louis McFadden stated the following:
They (the private banking monopolies) financed Trotsky’s mass meetings
of discontent and rebellion in New York. They paid Trotsky’s passage from New
York to Russia so that he might assist in the destruction of the Russian Empire.
They fomented and instigated the Russian Revolution and they placed a large
fund of American dollars at Trotsky’s disposal in one of their branch banks in
Sweden.
