Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists
by Antony C. Sutton (Author)
Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government and, subsequently, the Bolshevik regime.
In a courageous investigation, Antony Sutton establishes tangible historical links between Russian communists and US capitalists. Drawing on US state department files, personal papers of key Wall Street figures, biographies, and conventional histories, Sutton reveals:
The role of Morgan banking executives in funneling illegal Bolshevik gold into the US.
The co-option of the American Red Cross by powerful Wall Street forces.
The intervention by Wall Street sources to free the Marxist revolutionary Leon Trotsky, whose aim was to topple the Russian government.
The deals made by major corporations to capture the huge Russian market a decade and a half before the US recognized the Soviet regime.
The secret sponsoring of Communism by leading businessmen, who publicly championed free enterprise.
Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution traces the foundations of Western funding of the Soviet Union. Dispassionately, and with overwhelming documentation, the author details a crucial phase in the establishment of Communist Russia.
This classic study―first published in 1974 and part of a key trilogy―is reproduced here in its original form. The other volumes in this trilogy are Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Wall Street and FDR.
Antony C. Sutton (1925-2002) was born in London and educated at the universities of London, Gottingen and California. He was a Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution for War, Revolution, and Peace at Stanford, California, from 1968 to 1973, and later an Economics Professor at California State University, Los Angeles. He is the author of 25 books, including the major three-volume study Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development.

"Sutton comes to conclusions that are uncomfortable for many businessmen and economists. For this reason, his work tends to be either dismissed out of hand as 'extreme' or, more often, simply ignored." ―Richard Pipes, Baird Professor Emeritus of History, Harvard University (from Survival Is Not Enough: Soviet Realities and America's Future)
Very, very informative!
I keep finding these books by Antony Sutton and I wonder why I have never heard of him or his work. This book explains in detail how the wall street devils with help from others in the government help to overthrow what was the first, rocky steps that Russia was taking towards a democratic society. I really wish they would have told us about this in high school. I recommend this book and all of Mr. Suttons books as they are clearly written and well researched (with evidence in the actual cable transcripts!)…unlike lots of over-hyped books of today.
Manipulations of Deceit
For years now I'd heard rumours of American capitalism playing a double game by assisting its official enemies with technical, financial and industrial expertise; the American subsidiary to I G Farben of zyklon B fame, or the idea that Henry Ford was a Nazi (covered in Sutton's third volume Wall St and the Rise of Hitler) are among two of the more well known examples. Well, finally, here is the smoking gun to a whole lot more.
My first impressions of this double game were formed in the most surreal manner by an earlier book I read on Russian affairs: Fitzroy MacLean's Eastern Approaches. MacLean was an eye witness diplomat to the Russian show trials orchestrated by Stalin and his henchman to eliminate rivals or just indulge in political revenge for its own sake. The process was surreal as many of the accused came from the tightly knit group of the Bolsheviks themselves where they were invariably labelled `Trotskyite Capitalists' who were out to ruin the revolution and bring down the State. Hence `Trotskyite Capitalists' were by their very nature either `Counterrevolutionaries!' or `Double Agents'. These were the beginnings of the Stalinist purges that would engulf so much of Russian society for years to come.
We all know of Lenin's re-entry into Russia in a sealed train that was given special access across Germany but just prior to Lenin's arrival, Trotsky and his entourage made their way from New York where he was feted upon by Wall Streeter's. Sutton provides evidence that Trotsky could not have maintained a chauffeur driven life style for himself and his family, nor paid for first class travel tickets on a meagre income generated from a few journalistic articles, the proceeds of which, Trotsky claims, he donated away. Trotsky was also sprung from his incarceration in Canada to enable his free passage by some well-connected private interests.
Sutton's thesis that these endeavours by private American Wall Street elites to facilitate the Bolshevik cause was with an eye for the main prize; a centrally controlled socialist state that was in need of virtually everything as it continued to collapse, thus providing the Wall Street cartels with their cherished of all working environments – a monopoly – and one of an extraordinary size. The Wall Street ideal of 'getting society to work for the few' while the cartels of the few are protected behind the power of the state, could hopefully be introduced for the benefit of the few. Of course Sutton's thesis doesn't rest upon the Trotsky narrative alone, we read about the American Red Cross Mission to Russia that was a front for financial interests. Once the minority of Doctors finally realised the ruse for what it was, they left in disgust. There are other converging threads to enlighten and enrage, making Sutton one of the loneliest voices in the wilderness. After providing the smoking gun, modern histories pass over his evidence in silence. Perhaps Sutton's work represents too much of a hot potato, as bound in with all of these events is the unfortunate (for the allies) withdrawal of Russian troops from the eastern front and the transfer of German troops and equipment to the West. Was Trotsky a double agent, working for German interests to help undermine Russia?
Wall Street backed many opposing players during those fluid times, but one thing is sure, they greatly assisted the Bolshevik bid for power, as the Bolsheviks were a violent minority who gained power by coup d etat and were generally despised by the Russian majority.
Antony Sutton's Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution is the first volume to a trilogy of books that should be more well-known than they are. The following two are . . .
Wall Street and FDR.
Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler.
Review of Antony Sutton's Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution
As an American libertarian, Sutton believes in individualism, competition, and laissez-faire economics unfettered by governmental meddling. These values seem very American, and one might presume that those who prospered most under these conditions would be champions of these same values. But though lip service may be paid to the ideal of an economy unfettered by government intervention, it seems the tycoons of Wall Street see the world very differently.
"…it may be observed that both the extreme right and the extreme left of the conventional political spectrum are absolutely collectivist. The national socialist (for example, the fascist) and the international socialist (for example, the Communist) both recommend totalitarian politico-economic systems based on naked, unfettered political power and individual coercion. Both systems require monopoly control of society. While monopoly control of industries was once the objectives of J P Morgan and J D Rockefeller, by the late nineteenth century the inner sanctums of Wall Street understood that the most efficient way to gain an unchallenged monopoly was to 'go political' and make society go to work for the monopolists – under the name of the public good and the public interest." P. 16
Whether it was in railroads or oil, the big tycoons learned that the surest way to maximize profits was through monopoly, and so they did their best to do away with competition. But an essential element to establishing and maintaining a monopoly was through influence of government. (In 1913 a private banking cartel was able to influence congress enough to establish the Federal Reserve, a privately held money monopoly.) Competition and democratic processes were obstacles to be overcome. The elite class, then, viewed economics and politics differently than the rest of us – and their perspective was not one they cared to be honest about.
"Consequently, one barrier to mature understanding of recent history is the notion that all capitalists are the bitter and unswerving enemies of Marxists and socialists…. In fact, the idea is nonsense. There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolutionary socialists – to their mutual benefit. This alliance has gone unobserved largely because historians – with a few notable exceptions – have an unconscious Marxian bias and are thus locked into the impossibility of any such alliance existing. The open-minded reader should bear two clues in mind: monopoly capitalists are the bitter enemies of laissez-faire entrepreneurs; and, given the weaknesses of socialist central planning, the totalitarian socialist state is a perfect captive market for monopoly capitalists, if an alliance can be made with the socialist pawnbrokers. Suppose – and it is only hypothesis at this point – that American monopoly capitalists were able to reduce a planned socialist Russia to the status of a captive technical colony? Would not this be the logical twentieth-century internationalist extension of the Morgan railroad monopolies and the Rockefeller petroleum trust on the late nineteenth century?" P. 17
This is the context Sutton provides for understanding the underwriting of the Bolshevik Revolution by Wall Street financiers in 1917. He presents astounding assertions, but with strong evidence. And his evidence is very detailed. He doesn't just summarize his findings in a historical narrative, but often has you reading original cables, letters, committee transcripts, and the like. Because of the sensitive nature of much of the evidence, it is amazing he has been able to uncover what he has. There were people in high places who would want to see these sorts of things suppressed, after all.
What was it that motivated Wall Street financiers to become involved in the Russian revolution? Sutton examines the role of William Boyce Thompson, Federal Reserve Bank director who went to Russia in 1917.
"From the total picture we can deduce that Thompson's motives were primarily financial and commercial. Specifically, Thompson was interested in the Russian market, and how this market could be influenced, diverted, and captured for postwar exploitation by a Wall Street syndicate, or syndicates. Certainly Thompson viewed Germany as an enemy, but less a political enemy than an economic or a commercial enemy. German industry and German banking were the real enemy. To outwit Germany, Thompson was willing to place seed money on any political power vehicle that would achieve his objective. In other words, Thompson was an American imperialist fighting against German imperialism…" P. 97
Germany, at war with Russia at the time, also tried to influence the revolution. It is well established that the German government financed and organized "the return to Russia of Lenin and his party of exiled Bolsheviks, followed a few weeks later by a party of Mensheviks…" The dual German objectives were "(a) removal of Russia from the war, and (b) control of the postwar Russian market." P. 169
Wall Street's motivation for involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution had less to do than Germany's as to the outcome of the world war, and more to do with the postwar Russian market.
"Russia was then – and is today – the largest untapped market in the world. Moreover, Russia, then and now, constituted the greatest potential competitive threat to American industrial and financial supremacy." P. 172
"In the late nineteenth century, Morgan, Rockefeller, and Guggenheim had demonstrated their monopolistic proclivities. In Railroads and Regulation 1877-1916 Gabriel Kolko has demonstrated how the railroad owners, not the farmers, wanted state control of railroads in order to preserve their monopoly and abolish competition. So the simplest explanation of our evidence is that a syndicate of Wall Street financiers enlarged their monopoly ambitions and broadened horizons on a global scale."
"In other words, we are suggesting that the Bolshevik Revolution was an alliance of statists; statist revolutionaries and statist financiers aligned against the genuine revolutionary libertarian elements in Russia." P. 173
"The question now in the readers' mind must be, were these bankers also secret Bolsheviks? No, of course not. The financiers were without ideology. It would be a gross misinterpretation to assume that assistance for the Bolsheviks was ideologically motivated in any narrow sense. The financiers were power-motivated and therefore assisted any political vehicle that would give them an entrée to power: Trotsky, Lenin, the tsar, Kolchak, Denikin – all received aid, more or less. All, that is, but those who wanted a truly free individualistic society." P. 173-4
Money is power, and power corrupts. In reading this volume, as well as the other two books in the trilogy, Wall Street and FDR and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, the reader obtains a view of the profound influence big money has had on modern history. The big money players are without ideology, and without morals. The influence of big money continues to this day, and Sutton is the rare author who shows it to us for what it is.

Titans Remove WR Rishard Matthews from PUP, Place WR Michael Campanaro on Injured Reserve
Jim Wyatt
Donn Jones
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Titans have removed receiver Rishard Matthews from the team's Physically Unable to Perform list.
Matthews passed a physical and has been cleared to practice.
Also on Sunday, the Titans placed receiver Michael Campanaro on Injured Reserve.
Over the past two seasons, Matthews has led the team with 1,740 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions, and he's ranked second on the team behind tight end Delanie Walker with 118 catches. His 14.7 yards per reception average ranks ninth among all NFL players with at least 100 receptions during that time.
Matthews, who signed a one-year contract extension with the team last week, indicated late in the week he was close to returning.
On a team filled with young receivers, Matthews also said he was looking forward to returning to the field, and setting a good example for the team's young receivers.
"I try to lead by example, the way I practice, the way I play, and the way I compete," Matthews said on Thursday. "It's been tough, because I haven't been out there.
"I have been away for too long, and missed all of OTAs and training camp for the first time in my career. It is a first for me, but it is a part of the game and I just have to be on top of my things so I'll know what I am doing when I come back. I'm hoping to be back soon. Real soon."
Matthews didn't take part in the team's OTAs, and minicamp in May and June. At the start of training camp, he was placed on PUP.
"It will just be good to get back out there," Matthews said. "Just watching the guys and not being able to be out there and compete, it is something that you don't like, but it is part of the game and the training staff has done a great job of getting me back right, so it is there now."
In the interview with Titans Online last week, Matthews said he's been impressed with the team's young receivers. He said he's tried to encourage them, and offer advice at times. But he admitted he'll be more effective when he's back in uniform.
Matthews will rejoin a young receiving corps that includes Corey Davis, Taywan Taylor and Tajae Sharpe.
"I try to let a lot of guys learn on their own, and let the coaches teach," Matthews said. "If I feel like I can give advice, I definitely do. But at the same time I just sort of sit back and let them do their thing because it is tough. A lot of the guys have never seen me practice or do anything, so it is tough when I haven't been out there to show them what I am trying to tell them.
"In the meeting rooms and practice I try to give advice here and there. But I think the group has done a great job. We have a lot of playmakers who can do things with the ball in their hands, and get open."
A veteran of six NFL seasons, Matthews believes he can be effective when he comes back.
Matthews initially signed with the Titans prior to the 2016 season, and he's played in 30 games over the past two seasons. Matthews caught 53 passes for 795 yards and four touchdowns in 2017, one year after catching 65 passes for 945 yards and nine touchdowns. Matthews has 225 catches for 3,136 yards and 21 touchdowns.
He played his first four seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
"If you've played long enough, getting back out there won't be hard,'' he said. "It will be just getting back into football shape really."
Campanaro was signed by the team earlier this offseason after playing previously with the Ravens, and he enjoyed a solid offseason before being slowed by an injury. Campanaro was back for training camp, but was sidelined again.
The Titans return to the practice field on Monday.
The team plays its final preseason game on Thursday night at Nissan Stadium against the Vikings.

« Great News on the Electricity Front!
My story begins in 2001. I had just been hired by my current employer. We had been living in a mobile home park nestled in the city for eight years and we were ready to find a real home so I began to look at houses and compare mortgage rates because things had gone downhill in our neighborhood. When we first moved in, it was a quiet neighborhood and the monthly lot rental was low. The park was sold shortly after we moved into the park, and things started to change. Especially the lot rent. The woman I purchased our home from told me during the decade she'd lived there it went up every 3-4 years, and then only by $3 to $5 a month. The new owner had different ideas – he raised the rent by $50 per month as soon as he could, and then every single year after that raised it by $25 to $50 per month. The last two years we were there the lot rent went from $246 to $297.
At that time, my gross pay was $2040. My take home pay was $903.10 twice a month.
I'd volunteered for my employer for an entire year prior to being hired so I felt secure in my employment and soon we started thinking about moving out of the mobile home park.
I'd always had a dream of getting my mobile home paid off, then buying a piece of land somewhere and move the mobile home. So we looked into that first, but we soon discovered that thirty year old single wide mobile homes wired with aluminum are not permitted to move to any piece of land.
Back in 1986, when Mr. A and I were first married, we followed two standard rules of thumb to buy our home.
For every $10,000 worth of mortgage, expect to pay $100.
My gross being $2040 meant one week's worth of pay was $508.00, which told us we could afford $50,000 worth of home.
We started looking around in Phoenix, and the least expensive home we could find, in the least dangerous neighborhood which we were willing to move into was a fixer-upper on sale for just over $100,000. Right there I knew we couldn't afford it, but we went to have a look anyway. What a mess! The biggest problem was the kitchen had been moved from its original place to a built on room, and the roof had terrible leaks so the entire kitchen would need to be bulldozed. The swimming pool had a huge sinkhole next to it, which we were told meant it needed extensive repairs.
We were able to find a tiny one bedroom home near one of the worst parts of town in our price range, so we started looking at our other options.
Next we checked out buying a new manufactured home. The salesman tried his best to get us to sign on the dotted line. When I told him we couldn't afford an $80,000 mortgage, he started talking about points and buy downs and using other terms foreign to Mr. A and I. All I knew was $80K was too much, and told him so. I told him what about $100 per $10,000 and he assured me the payment wouldn't be over $500 a month. That might have been possible, but that would have only been the principal, and wouldn't have included the taxes and insurance.
We obviously couldn't afford to live in the city, so we started looking in rural areas that weren't too far away. After all, gas was only $1.39 a gallon back in 2001. We started with one realtor and she wasn't showing us anything we wanted to see, so we tried another guy a couple of weeks later.
He dealt in selling mostly foreclosed homes, and we went around to about six places in the same day. When we saw the place we now call home, we knew it was the one for us. 3.5 acres of fenced land to call our own! The home was an 8 year old manufactured home, a Cavco, said to be top of the line in manufactured homes. Three bedrooms instead of two, two bathrooms instead of one! The seller was asking $55,000 or best offer. We offered $53,000 and asked them to buy us a new refrigerator, and they went for it!
I'm sure you are hearing about the financial trouble the United States is in. Part of the problem can be directly traced to lenders and buyers not following the two rules of thumb mentioned above. Thankfully we did not allow ourselves to be charmed with the soothing promises of the salesman at the manufactured homes site.
So, the morale of the story is 1) Follow the two rules of thumb, 2) Don't let your heart lead the way when it comes to buying a home – make sure you can afford it before you take the leap.
Today and tomorrow is the last day you can sign up for my 1st year blogoversary. It's easy to enter, just leave a comment on the post.
If you are visiting from the Carnival of Money Stories #78, welcome to Out of Debt Again! Thank you Funny About Money for the hard work of hosting this event, and including my post!
I love this post. It's a great example of the *right* way to buy a house – in a nutshell, buy only what you can afford. My husband and I did the same thing, setting quite a conservative max for ourselves at a time when we probably could have qualified for double the mortgage. But we didn't want to struggle or stress about being able to make mortgage payments every month. It's just a little hard for me to be overly sympathetic toward the people who bought houses they had absolutely no business buying – of course the lenders are equally at fault, but to say borrowers had no responsibility is absolutely wrong.
Good for you! And how smart not to have been high-pressured into a situation you couldn't afford.
My mother-in-sin lived in a Cavco…it was nicer than my house. I've often thought I'd like to get one of the beautiful new manufactured homes and put it on 40 acres out in the country somewhere. Now that's livin'!
I like the rural areas around Phoenix much better than the smoggy old city itself. So you made a doubly smart move, in my humble opinion!


Made anyway pork chops taste yummy. You can fry them, stuff them, bake them or just steam them they taste absolutely fantastic. Baking is a great option as it is health friendly as well. These days we hardly get anytime to work out, so instead of putting junk in our bodies we, at least, need to eat a little healthy. That is why baked items should be top on your list.
Today we will be getting to know how to make baked parmesan pork chops. The best thing about this recipe is that its easy to make and is even yummier to taste. It takes a small amount of time to be prepared and can be devoured by anyone. The dish is everyone's favorite.
First of all you need to preheat the oven at 325-degree Fahrenheit. Then take a baking dish and oil it. Take the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and mix them well. Put this mixture in a large fridge bag.
Take a pork chop and dip it in butter. After that, drop it in the freezer bag, close the lid and shake it well. Shake until you're sure that the pork chop has been covered entirely in the mixture.
Carry out the same steps with each pork chop.
When all the pork chops have been covered, be sure to pour the remaining mixture over the pork chops.
Line the coated pork chops in the dish and bake for 30 minutes. Make sure that the dish is uncovered while it bakes.
Serve the pork chops with salad or garlic bread on the side. When feeling fancy, you can also prepare Singaporean rice or pasta to go with it.
Baked Parmesan Pork Chops make a great side dish or main dish and it's also a healthy option because its baked. Although its high on cheese but baking it is better than deep frying it.
When you make this dish for kids, you can make nuggets or chips to go with it.
Now when you're squeezed for time you know what to make.

Another bike rider has been killed by a heartless coward who tried to flee the scene.
But this time, he didn't get very far.
According to My News LA, a 35-year old Los Angeles resident was rear-ended by the driver of an SUV at 7:31 last night, on Concourse Avenue just past Allston Street in Montebello.
However, Google identifies the the location as being in East LA, which is supported by the CHP responding to the crash instead of the Montebello PD.
The southbound victim, who has not been publicly identified, died at the scene.
The driver attempted to flee, but crashed into a number of parked vehicles a few blocks away, where he was detained by local residents until CHP officers took him into custody. They identify him as 35-year old Montebello resident John F. Salvidar, noting that he did not appear to be under the influence.
A street view shows a divided roadway with a single lane in each direction on Concourse, with a 30 mph speed limit.
Anyone with information is urged to call the CHP's East LA office at 323/980-4600.
This is the fifth bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the fourth in Los Angeles County.
Update: The San Gabriel Valley Tribune places the location on the border between Montebello and East LA, and gives the age of the driver as 18, not 35.
Update 2: The victim has been identified as Jefferey Corden of Los Angeles.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for Jefferey Corden and his loved ones.
Thanks to Rory Montenegro for the heads-up.

Religious Liberty Defeated in Arizona
RUSH: Jan Brewer, the governor of Arizona, vetoed religious freedom — and, naturally, Democrats and their media allies are cheering. Even some Republicans are praising Arizona. Meanwhile, our Founding Fathers more than likely are spinning in their graves at about 400 rpm. In fact, folks, if you read Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims (authored by me), you might even come to learn how important religious freedom has been to this country even since before its beginning.
Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims is all about religious freedom.
It's all about freedom, period.
I'm beginning to think that people — in addition to 10- and 13-year-olds — need to read this. The Pilgrims escaped Holland and London for religious freedom. They came to the New World before there was an America, for religious freedom, and that voyage and their establishment of Plymouth Colony and everything that happened there gave birth — later on, years and years, decades later — to our founding documents. This is a nation that is founded on the principle of religious freedom. That is the reason this country exists, and it just bit the dust in Arizona.
Here are the audio sound bites. Let's start with Governor Brewer. We've got two of these bites. Here you go…
BREWER: I've not heard one example in Arizona where business owners' religious liberty has been violated. The bill is broadly worded and could result in unintended and negative consequences. After weighing all of the arguments, I have vetoed Senate Bill 1062 moments ago.
RUSH: She said that she has "not heard an example in Arizona where business owner's religious liberty has been violated." Maybe she's not aware what's happened in Utah, Colorado, where businesses were shut down for this reason. Here is the next explanation Governor Brewer…
BREWER: To the supporters of this legislation, I want you to know that I understand that long-held norms about marriage and family are being challenged as never before. Our society is undergoing many dramatic changes. However, I sincerely believe that Senate Bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. It could divide Arizona in ways we could not even imagine and no one would ever want. Religious liberty and a core American and Arizona value. So is nondiscrimination.
RUSH: You know, I've been reading some people's review of this, and the victors, the people that are crowing over all this, are claiming that what really happened here is that a phony bill that was rooted in phony religious freedom, under the guise of homophobia, was vetoed by Jan Brewer. So the people that won this thing are beating their chests, are out there claiming here that nondiscrimination triumphed over discrimination, that there was nothing about religious freedom in this bill at all. "It was all anti-gay.
"It was under the guise of religious freedom," and if you read the bill (it's two pages), there's nothing about homosexuality in the bill. The word isn't mentioned. Gay weddings, marriage, none of that is mentioned. Rich Lowry, "Brewer's Foolish Veto — It was jarring to read the coverage of the new 'anti-gay bill,'" quote/unquote, "passed by the Arizona Legislature and then look up the text of the" bill. I mean, jarring to read the way this bill was portrayed than to actually read it.
"The bill was roughly 998 pages shorter than much of legislation that passes in Washington…" Most bills are 1,000 pages; this was two pages. "[S]o reading it didn't take much of a commitment. … [I]t was easy to scan for disparaging references to homosexuality, for veiled references to homosexuality, for any references to homosexuality at all. They weren't there." There weren't any references to homosexuality.
"A headline from The Week declared, 'There is nothing Christian about Arizona's anti-gay bill.' It would be more accurate to say that there was nothing anti-gay about Arizona's anti-gay bill." The bill was not anti-gay; it was pro religious freedom. That's why the victors are out there beating their chest like Tarzan in the jungle saying that nondiscrimination has triumphed over gay bashing in the guise of religious freedom.
"The legislation consisted of minor clarifications of [Arizona]'s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which has been on the books for 15 years and is modeled on the federal act that passed with big bipartisan majorities in the 1990s and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton." In other words, the bill mirrors a federal law that is already the law of the land — of course, being ignored.
And just like Arizona had tried to pass its own immigration laws that mirrored federal immigration laws 'cause Obama wasn't endorsing them — the judge threw that out — Arizona said, "You know what? We're not gonna wait for a judge to throw it out. We'll just do it ourselves this time," essentially. Here's the real nub of it, and everybody knows it: "Arizona was going to lose the Super Bowl over this," a two-page piece of legislation. This was media coverage that portrayed this bill in ways that it wasn't.
This is how it works.
This is the Washington soap opera.
That's why I said two days ago that everybody here was being bullied, because the bill was mischaracterized from the get-go, and everybody — low-information voters, hell, everybody else — thought it was a gay-bashing bill. Who reads legislation, for crying out loud? Hell, members of Congress don't even read it anymore. Why would we expect John Q. Six-Pack Citizen to take the time to go find it and read it?
"Gov. Jan Brewer took no chances and vetoed it Wednesday. The bill was the subject of a truly awe-inspiring tsunami of poorly informed indignation. For The New York Times editorial board, the bill was 'A License to Discriminate.' It constituted 'the legalizing of anti-gay prejudice,' according to a piece in US News & World Report. It was, Salon scoffed, 'cartoonishly bigoted.' A reference to Jim Crow was obligatory in any discussion of the bill on [the mind vacuum that is] cable TV.
"Writing in The Week, Elizabeth Stoker said the logic of the bill 'threatens to twist Christianity into a vile, exclusionary isolating thing.' But it was beyond the power of Arizona lawmakers to redefine Christianity. Stoker must have mistaken the Arizona Legislature for the Council of Nicaea. In USA Today, the influential liberal pundit Kirsten Powers posited that the bill would enable all-out civil conflict, with Muslim pharmacists possibly refusing to give uncovered women antibiotics…"
That's already happening, and it's protected! I've got a story here in the Stack where the Regime sent the EEOC or some bureaucracy after a trucking company in Illinois. They fired a couple of Muslims who refused to deliver alcohol or some such thing, and the federal government said, "You can't fire 'em for that! They've got their religious freedom!"
Let me find it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I have a press release from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission bragging about this. "Star Transport, Inc., a trucking company based in Morton, Ill., violated federal law by failing to accommodate two employees because of their religion, Islam, and discharging them, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed [May 28, 2013].
"The lawsuit alleged that Star Transport refused to provide two employees with an accommodation of their religious beliefs when it terminated their employment because they refused to deliver alcohol." So the Feds went in and sanctioned Star Transport, sues them, because they fired a couple of employees who refused to deliver alcohol — and they refused because of a violation of their religious tenets. They're Muslims, and they don't want to be anywhere near alcohol.
"According to EEOC District Director John P. Rowe…'Our investigation revealed that Star could have readily avoided assigning these employees to alcohol delivery without any undue hardship, but chose to force the issue despite the employees' Islamic religion.' Failure to accommodate the religious beliefs of employees, when this can be done without undue hardship, violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion."
Well. So here while the religious freedom of business owners in Arizona is ignored, the religious freedom of employees in Illinois is upheld by the federal government. So this religious freedom business really does only go one way right now. Look, I'm not reviewing all of this Arizona stuff because I think there was a different outcome possible. There was no way this governor was ever gonna not veto this.
The bullying that was going on — and the NFL chiming in, trying to take the Super Bowl away, that's all it took. That was the end of it there, and then Apple, Inc. saying, "Hey, you know, we're bringing 2000 jobs to this state, maybe. It depends." There was no question it was gonna go. But since we are interested in the truth and having you know it, I'm gonna tell you a little bit more about this.
RUSH: Now, let me just reiterate: There was no way Governor Brewer was not going to veto this bill. So I'm not spending time on this trying to beat her up after the fact. There was only one possible outcome here. There was only one. This state has been beaten up by Obama. It's been beat up by every civil rights activist you can think of. They've been totally cowed. I think it's amazing they got this far, frankly, in getting the legislation they had passed.
But I want to go back to Rich Lowry's piece because and then a couple of audio sound bites from Bill Donohue from the Catholic League, who had to try to explain — to Chris Cuomo today on CNN — what this was really all about. "In USA Today, the influential liberal pundit Kirsten Powers posited that the bill would enable all-out civil conflict, with Muslim pharmacists possibly refusing to give uncovered women antibiotics," meaning women not wearing the burqa, for those of you in Rio Linda.
They think "uncovered" means something else there. "Christian pacifists refusing to let Army sergeants stay in their hotels, and Christian restaurateurs who oppose judging gays refusing to serve overly judgmental Christians." All of this was thrown out as, "Oh, my God, if she signs this bill, Katie, bar the door! We're gonna have people being denied services and products just everywhere. Because don't you know, this is just the most discriminatory, bigoted country ever!
The left has to come in and protect the bigots, and everybody, else from themselves. Well, as Rich Lowry writes, "If you'll excuse a brief, boring break from the hysteria to dwell on the text of the doomed bill, it stipulated that the word 'person' in the law applies to businesses and that the protections of the law apply whether or not the government is directly a party to a proceeding (e.g., a lawsuit brought on anti-discrimination grounds).
"Eleven legal experts on religious freedom statutes … wrote a letter to Gov. Brewer prior to her veto explaining how the bill 'has been egregiously misrepresented by many of its critics.' In addition to the federal government, 18 states have such statutes and about a dozen other states interpret their state constitutions as extending the same protections, according to the letter." In other words, this is common what Arizona was attempting to establish!
You know, if you want to get ticked off about something, it is… There is… How to phrase this a different way? Jonathan Turley, constitutional professor somewhere, Georgetown, showed up again to testify on Capitol Hill. He's up there and he's wringing his hands. "We are at a constitutional tipping point." I've got the sound bites here coming up later. "We're at a constitutional tipping point, 'cause Obama is just running roughshod. But so did Bush," he said, to qualify.
He's a good liberal, so he had throw Bush in there. It's not even close, Jonathan. Bush and Obama? It's not even close, the constitutional usurpation. There's never been anybody like Obama. Anyway, Turley says this is very bad. You know why Turley says it's very bad? It's very bad because the Founding Fathers never dreamed that the other two branches would basically lay down and allow themselves to be walked all over!
The Founding Fathers thought that the people in the judicial and legislative branches would be trying to get as much power from the executive as they could, but they would not just lay down and let an executive walk all over 'em. He said he can't believe it. He cannot believe that Congress doesn't care. They're losing power be with Obama's taking it. Now, Turley knew he was gonna be in trouble for this, so you know what else he said?
"By the way, I happen to agree with everything the president's doing policy-wise. I just have a problem with how he's doing it." Give me a break! That is a qualifier that's a bit suspicious to me. "Oh, yeah, I agree with the president policy wise most of the time. I'm just worried how he's doing it. It's a constitutional tipping point." Well, the same here. Turley is right. The other branches are just laying down. They're just allowing this to happen, and you and I know why.
It's the same reason why everybody, why the governor and all of the forces behind this bill laid down. There is just abject fear of minorities right now. There is fear of being labeled a bigot or a racist. The whole debate is set up. Everything the majority wants to do now is bigoted, discriminatory. It's the way everything's been characterized, and so the people who are trying to do the right thing never stand up for themselves after they're trying to do it. The right thing has no defense.
The right thing has nobody shouting in its defense.
The right thing has nobody. After they write it, and after making effort, they let it die. They allow themselves to be walked all over. They allow themselves to be mischaracterized. They allow their work to be mischaracterized. We've never seen anything like it, and we all know why. Fear of the media. It's clear as a bill what made this in Arizona happen. The media and the left-wing bullies were able to totally mischaracterize what this was.
And the people who knew that they were being mischaracterized didn't dare stand up and say, "No, you're wrong." They just didn't want to take that risk. They figured they have nobody on their side. They figured they'd have no support, no help, an ddidn't want to be a lone wolf or a series of lone wolves. They just said, "You know what? We'll get this issue off the table. We'll come back and we'll get 'em on… on… uh… on… Well, we'll get 'em on the next one," and they cave on the next one and say, "We'll get 'em on the next one!"
And they cave on that, and you and I know why. So what Arizona had on the table is something that's already federal law and essentially the law of 18 states and others. Now, let's wrap up Lowry: "Eleven legal experts on religious freedom statutes … wrote a letter to Gov. Brewer prior to her veto explaining how the bill 'has been egregiously misrepresented by many of its critics.' …
"The letter argues that, properly interpreted, the federal law that inspired the Arizona statute covers cases that don't directly involve the government and covers businesses. So Arizona's changes weren't radical but in keeping with a federal law once championed by none other than Sen. Ted Kennedy. A religious freedom statute doesn't give anyone carte blanche to do whatever he wants in the name of religion.
"It simply allows him to make his case in court that a law or a lawsuit substantially burdens his religion and that there is no compelling governmental interest to justify the burden," and now that's even been taken away here. "For critics of the Arizona bill, the substance was almost an afterthought." The substance didn't matter. It was the opportunity the bill gave them. A, mischaracterize it. B, call it gay bashing.
C, attach it to the Republicans and make 'em out to be the usual racist, sexist, bigot, homophobes. D, scare them into paralysis. E, we get what we want — and what we want is this Constitution shredded and bastardized every chance we get. "The question isn't whether businesses run by people opposed to gay marriage on religious grounds should provide their services for gay weddings," but it became that. Not only is this the denial of religious freedom, this is using the force of government to force people to act in ways they don't want to act.
It's a double whammy.
Again, "The question isn't whether businesses run by people opposed to gay marriage on religious grounds should provide their services for gay weddings; it is whether they should be compelled to by government." That's the question, and that's what just happened. The government can now compel people, just like they can't compel you to buy a product or insurance, but now they can. The government can't compel you to do business with people you don't want to, except now they can.
"The critics of the much-maligned Arizona bill pride themselves on their live-and-let-live open-mindedness…"
Oh, yeah. They're the tolerant ones, you see. They're the ones that are not closed-minded! They're the ones that are not bigoted. Oh, noooo. And they certainly aren't the bullies. Oh, no. They're just loving, kind, soft-spoken, gentle people who just want everybody to get along — except when you don't agree with them, and then they become like jackbooted thugs, and they start bullying everybody in their way. They become highly moralistic in their support of gay marriage, judgmental of those who oppose it, and tolerant of only one point of view: Their own.
They are the exact opposite of the way they portray themselves.
RUSH: We got a guy who works for the Star Trucking Company on the phone. He's driving through Wisconsin. Hey, Jim. Welcome to the program. Great to have you here. Hi.
CALLER: Hi. Hi. Can you hear me?
RUSH: Yeah. You're Jim, right?
CALLER: Yeah, I'm Jim.
RUSH: Okay.
CALLER: It's the first time I've ever called you. Well, yeah, I don't work for Star anymore. I used to. But what I was trying to tell your screener was that Star has a policy. When you first go in for orientation, you have a what they call a force dispatch, which means the dispatcher give you a load and you have to take it. You sign that paper.
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to make sure I understand this. So when you get hired at Star trucking, Star trucking gives you a piece of paper that you agree to sign, and when you sign it, you are agreeing to ship whatever they give you? Whatever's in the shipment, you'll drive it?
CALLER: Yes. Yes. It's basically the dispatcher gives you a load, sends you a load, and you haul it.
RUSH: So when you sign this, you know that you have no choice. You can't refuse whatever they may put in the trailer. You've got to take it.
CALLER: Yes. Yes. Yes.
RUSH: You think these two Muslim drivers knew full well when they signed on that they might have to drive some alcohol?
CALLER: Yeah, yeah. That's basically what the paper says. You have to take whatever. It's a forced dispatch company, and you have to take whatever you're given. You know, whatever dispatch, you have to take that load. You can't refuse.
RUSH: Not anymore, Jim. Not the case anymore. What's happened is the government has just told Star Trucking that they can't do that anymore. They can't force people to haul. Now, they could make you drive a bunch of condoms. They could make you drive whatever you don't want to drive. You couldn't object to it.
CALLER: Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't matter. You have to take the load.
RUSH: No, you don't. That's the point.
CALLER: Well, most companies are like that. Most companies don't have a no force dispatch policy, but the Star was one of the companies I worked for that had — well, the first company I'd worked for that had.
RUSH: So the point is that these two guys knew full well. They signed a release, in essence. We know what's going on here, too, folks. This didn't just happen, and this just isn't some couple of guys randomly offended and doing something about it. We know what's going on.

Crystal structure and low-temperature emission of [(dmp)Cu(μ-S2butphos)2Cu(dmp)][BF4]2·6CH2Cl2 (dmp=2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; S2butphos=1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinesulfido)butane)

The synthesis and crystal structure of a bimetallic luminescent Cu(I) complex containing 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphinesulfido)butane and the α-diimine 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp) is described. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) center is pseudo-tetrahedral. Interplanar interactions between phenyl groups on the phosphine sulfide ligands and the phenanthroline exist which are indicative of intramolecular π-stacking, leading to compressed S-Cu-S bond angles. The complex displays emission from a single metal-centered charge-transfer state at 77 K in a 4:1 ethanol/methanol (v/v) glass. This is in contrast to the triphenylphosphine complex, which exhibits dual luminescence from a charge-transfer and an intraligand state at 77 K. Crystal data: triclinic, {Mathematical expression}, a=13.619(4) Å, b=13.673(2) Å, c=15.384(2) Å, α=75.08(1)°, β=80.35(2)°, γ=80.67(2)°.

There's just something about MAC which makes it hard for me to resist. Whether it's lipsticks, eye-shadows, MSFs or blushes, MAC is one of my most top rated brands. Paint Pots are one of those products that you hear bloggers and MUAs rave about all the time, but for me they were a product I was weary of trying. My experience of cream bases or shadows is minimal, with a steady collection of drugstore alternatives that are nice, but nothing special. Over the past year I've turned my attention to more high-end alternatives, to see if I could finally find a base that fits the bill, ticking all of my critical boxes whilst still working as a fantastic shadow and able to work with other products.
My first MAC Paint Pot buy was a shade which caught my eye for how specially pretty it was in the pot. Let's Skate is a Pro-Longwear Paint Pot (Selfridges, £15), a delicate pale pink with a flattering golden shimmer running through. It applies really well, providing enough pigmentation teamed with a good, creamy formula, to create an opaque yet soft finish. Liking to build mine up when worn alone, or lightly applied if teaming with powder shadows as a base. The golden shimmer holds up really well, better than other shimmering culprits in my collection which seem to disappear (read, fall around my eyes) throughout the day. If MAC were to release a powder highlight akin to Let's Skate, I'd be sold.
Often mentioned as the MAC Paint Pot to buy, Painterly (Selfridges, £15), it wasn't long before I decided to try this coveted shade myself. At first, I wasn't smitten. The shade, a perfect warm, yellow toned beige, akin to that a touch warmer than your eyelids, just didn't seem right in formula. It sat in the back of my drawer for a while, then I decided to give it a go again - finding the formula much firmer and far easier to work with. It effortlessly provides a nice, smooth, neutral shade that can be worn alone as a natural wash of colour, or teamed with other favourites as an ideal base. Slightly firmer than Let's Skate, the matte finish and dreamy formula which has longevity like no other, have made Painterly one of my most reached for products.
Eclair is my one and only limited edition Paint Pot, and boy is it something special. Eclair is like no other shade in my collection, a luxurious chocolate brown with incredible copper undertones and a lovely touch of bronze shimmer. Perfect for any time of year, I adored it during the colder months and will surely be even more smitten come summer paired with bold bronzes, warm coppers and glittering golds. Heavenly.
I love pretty much everything about this little pots of perfect cream shadows. The packaging is spot on, there's a decent amount of product, 5g, which due to the quality of the product, means they're lasting a long while (just what I like with my high-end products, too!) and I think they're very reasonably priced. Although there's a humble 3 in my Paint Pot collection, I adore each shade and hope to add a couple more shades over the coming months. If you've tried Paint Pots, I'd love to know what your favourite shades are, do you love them as much as me?
I've never tried any of MAC's Paint Pots but I'm in love with Benefit's version!
I love paint pots! I was loyal to Painterly for years, but I recently decided to try Soft Ochre and its my new go-to for concealing any darkness on my lids. I love their consistency and they really are a great deal, my last pot lasted me 2 years!
Paint pots are fabulous products. Painterly is my most reached for with Soft Ochre coming a close second.
Painterly is such a staple in my makeup bag!
I never tried any Mac Paint Pots but they're on my wish list and will get them soon!
