In 1920, Winston Churchill announced that a cabal of godless “International Jews” had incited the Bolshevik Revolution. Why did he say this? It turns out Churchill was covering for the real Great Britain’s own secret intelligence services. In his new book, How the British Invented Communism (And Blamed It on the Jews), New York Times-bestselling author Richard Poe reveals that the same secret network that brought down King Louis XVI and Tsar Nicholas II also raised up Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum. Poe weaves a riveting tale of intrigue, espionage, seduction, assassination, and mysterious secret societies working in the shadows for centuries—a story that has never before been told.

I admit that I was skeptical when I started reading this but the skepticism gradually reduced. The author does manage to tell this story and back it up with some evidence which makes for a fascinating rabbit-hole that I am going to explore further by reading some of the books he referenced. Very thought-provoking book that challenges so much of the history that I thought I knew.
The only problem with a convincing story about an alternative world history is, who are you going to believe. I do like details, known to the world, that expose a flaw in the official story. Many know, history is written by the victors so often details like truth Have been omitted. So, did the British invent all the history of Jewish conspiracy to rule the world? Did they invent the powerful Color Revolutions concept and use it throughout history to control who runs the countries that previously were Not Cooperating with the British goals for the planet? This book has a compelling story.
An interesting thesis which makes some sense. The British seek to control the world to whatever extent they can. This goal requires seeding dissent among its largest rivals. They have done this for centuries to minor countries to grab vassals.
In todays day and age, conflicting, alternative views are the norm, back in the day, a powerhouse newspaper would write history. What is said here, with substantiated collaborations throughout, makes a person wonder. It makes sense that Britain would see Russia as their fiercest competitor and do what they did to build their global empire. Its interesting to ponder how these certain events affected future generations for hundreds of years. Did it cause the holocaust? The instability in the middle east? Its also interesting to ponder the socialism/communism push, not for the better good, but to create weakness in our enemies. Wars aren't necessarily fought with guns and weapons, but also with mental warfare. In today's age, could this socialism push be to weaken our great, strong country? Who's behind it? Why would goodreads continue to recommend trans books based on books I've read that have absolutely nothing to do with trans. Whats their agenda?
The path of this book I felt was very circular. I look up many areas addressed and found them consistent with Poe's arguments. I curious to speak with others who have read this book.
