The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 241
First of All… the Allies should discourage Japanese intervention in
Siberia. In the second place, the fullest assistance should be given to the Soviet
Government in its efforts to organize a volunteer revolutionary army.
Thirdly, the Allied Governments should give their moral support to the Russian
people in their efforts to work out their own political systems free from the
domination of any foreign power…

(Emphasis added)
In his memorandum Thatcher expressed a desire to allow the Russian people “to work out
their own political systems” but in truth there was no such desire. The desire of the elite of
America was to force communism on the people of Russia. These Russian people who had
overwhelmingly voted against communism in the first general election held in Russia on
November 25, 1917. The government of Kerensky had originally scheduled the election and the
Bolsheviks under Lenin subsequently carried it out. Nearly 42 million votes were casts in the
election. The communist were defeated by a “seventy to thirty margin.”
941
But this did not
discourage them. “On July 18, 1918, the People’s Congress convened, having a majority of anti-
Bolsheviks” This did not detour Lenin on the next day his armed communist forces disbanded
the legally elected “People’s Congress.”
942
Nor did the vote of the people and the resultant
military coup detour American intentions to aid the communists.
The United States of America complied with the urgings of the Thatcher memorandum.
“The United States took over and held the Siberian Railroad until the Soviets gained sufficient
power to take it over” themselves. Additionally, “State Department records show that guns and
ammunition were shipped to the Bolsheviks.” The assistance from the Americans in the Russian
Revolution was greatly appreciated by the Soviet government. So great was their appreciation
that the New York Times reported on February 15, 1920 that: “revolutionary leaders mounted
steps of buildings… making speeches calling the Americans real friends who at a critical time
saved this present movement.”
943
Max May became the first Vice President of the Soviet Bank “RUSKOMBANK”; he
was in charge of foreign operations. May was Vice president of Guaranty Trust (a US
corporation). Skull and Bones member, W. Averell Harriman, of W. A. Harriman and Company,
also participated in the bank. This was a very significant development because in order for a
modern government to survive, it must have a banking system.
944
A. Ralph Epperson, in his book
The Unseen Hand, makes the case that participation in RUSKOMBANK was a reward from
Lenin to those who had helped him in the revolution.
945
Numerous wealthy and powerful Americans participated in the actual funding of the
Russian Revolution. Some of this US funding included $20 million delivered by Elihu Root,
attorney for Kuhn, Loeb & Company of which Paul Warburg, Federal Reserve Chairman, was a
member, this money came out of President Wilson's Special War Fund (as reported in the
Congressional Record of September 2, 1919);
946
an estimated $20 million from Jacob Schiff; at
least $1 million from the JP Morgan organization
947
and $1 million from William B. Thompson,
a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
948
The Rockefeller interests are also said to
have contributed unknown amounts of cash to the revolution.
