The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 240
In 1919 Japan requested the US help in the fight against the Bolsheviks but President
Wilson refused. Wilson’s most trusted advisor Colonel House would go even further. He
recorded in his diary that he convinced the French, English and Italians that intervention in
Russia would be fruitless. He wrote in his diary in 1919:
I had a heart to heart talk with Clemenceau [Premier of France] about
Bolshevism in Russian and its westward march. I made him confess that military
intervention was impossible…. Later in the afternoon when Orlando [Premier of
Italy] called, I gave him very much the same kind of talk, and he too, agreed with
my conclusions. I am trying, and have partially succeeded, to frighten not only the
President [Wilson] but the English, French, and Italians regarding what might be
termed ‘the Russian peril’… I would not confess that military intervention was an
impossibility, because I believe that it could be successfully accomplished if gone
about properly. A voluntary and a mercenary army of very small proportions,
equipped with artillery and tanks, would in my opinion do the work.

Although House believed the Russian Revolution could have been very easily put down
he was successful in persuading all that intervention was hopeless. Not only did the US never
intervene, as you will learn below we provided constant aid to the Bolsheviks. Intervention was
not even necessary, if left on their own they would have quickly failed because as has been
proven, Communism cannot survive on its own.
By November of 1917 Lenin and Trotsky had taken control in Russia. At that time, Lenin
made his first appearance before the Russian congress where a 3-month truce and peace
negotiations with Germany were approved. As feared by Canada, dozens of German divisions
were freed up and moved to France where they killed hundreds and more likely thousands of
American and British soldiers.

Sutton summarizes the US involvement with the Russian revolution as follows:
In brief, while the U.S. public was being assured by the U.S. Government
that the Soviets were dastardly murderers, while “Reds”: were being deported
back to Russia by the department of Justice, while every politician (almost
without exception) was assuring the American Public that the United States would
have no relations with the Soviets—while this barrage of lies was aimed at a
gullible public, behind the scenes the Guaranty Trust Company was actually
running a division of a Soviet bank! And American troops were being cheered by
Soviet revolutionaries for helping protect the Revolution.

Sutton refers to American troops being cheered by “Soviet revolutionaries”; this refers to
specific aid that was given to the Russian Revolution by the US military. In 1917, a Wall Street
attorney, Thomas D. Thatcher, who also happened to be a Skull and Bones member, had written
a memorandum urging US support of the Russian Revolution. The main portions of the
memorandum follow:
