Badlands Book Club: The Creature From Jekyll Island - Chapter 13

CannCon and Ashe in America move on to Chapter 13 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, and this one takes a hard turn into geopolitics. This week's theme is Masquerade in Moscow, unpacking the secret society founded by Cecil Rhodes, its American offshoot known as the Council on Foreign Relations, and the surprising role outside financiers played in funding the Russian Revolution. The hosts challenge the popular narrative that the Bolshevik uprising was purely a grassroots rebellion, tracing the money and influence back to bankers in Germany, Britain, and the United States, with the Rothschild formula popping up once again. Expect a story that starts with the Russo Japanese War and spirals into one of the most consequential cover ups of the century, plus the usual candid commentary and a few detours along the way.
