Rasputin, described as “The Holy Devil,” moved to St. Petersburg in 1906 and began to gain access to the royal family of Tsar Nicholas II. Posing as a mystic, Rasputin was known for strange prophecies, claims of superstitious healing powers, and sexual excesses. As the Tsar and his family came under Rasputin’s spell, the monarch’s credibility suffered, his authority was undermined, and public distrust spread.

At this time, Tsar Nicholas escalated his father’s policy of restricting Jews and implementing a full anti-Jewish “pogrom” of cruel persecution. More then 2 millions Jews fled, many to the United States. It was a tragedy, which, in a way, spared them from future Russian tragedies.

A little long but IMHO worth the read. Then again, those that NEED to read it or SHOULD read it, either can't or won't. A lot of us already know some of the info but it never hurts to refresh once in a while. Of course today's proponents of socialism KNOW they'll get it right this time. NOT!

Oh, so that is what they do...

“Russia’s disillusionment with the Tsar grew. This, together with severe cold weather and food shortages, allowed Vladimir Lenin’s community organizers to agitate and fan unrest, leading to the Bolshevik Revolution – Red October of 1917.”

Stalin used a tactic called “psychological projection” or blame-shifting, where a politician publicly accuses his opponents of what he himself is privately guilty of.

Well, well. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Dems do this all the time. I picture Dems sitting on Stalin's knee, listening to him in rapt attention...

Rasputin... Putin..... Hmmmmmmm…..
The mad monk believed one couldn’t be forgiven unless there was some sin to be forgiven about. So, lots and lots of orgies were in order.

Did I hear “lots and lots of orgies?” Where do I sign up? ( I expect to be one of the first recruited , of course ....)😼😼😼😺

The Tsar’s regime was nominally Christian, but was so weak in pagan leanings that it could not stand up to the sway of what drove Rasputin.

Too bad he didn’t read. Asked and answered:

Shall we sin so that grace may abound? God forbid!
