5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful; Enlightening; Imperfect, February 24, 2005

This review is from: World Revolution: The Plot Against Civilization (Hardcover)

Nesta Webster is one of the most frequently quoted authors in conspirational genre of history. On reading her work, I now understand why. Her writing is simply excellent. And her scholarship is outstanding. Herein, Mrs. Webster has left us with a beautiful and compelling account of the revolutionary movement from the French Revolution to the Bolshevik, the Chinese, the Indochinese, and the African. According to her excellent account, there is a guiding thread throughout all of this revolutionary activity, illuminated freemasonry. And the author certainly makes a solid case for this, skillfully tying together the writings of Weishaupt with the pronouncements of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion and the actions of the Soviet state.

However, the work has two flaws, which may in fact be related. Mrs. Webster inveighs against Continental freemasonry, but honors Anglo Saxon freemasonry. She also portrays communism as a monstrous evil, but leaves the evil of zionism totally unaddressed. As it seems that Continental freemasonry is most closely affiliated with the communism movement and Anglo Saxon freemasonry with zionism, it may be that these errors are both intentional and related. In any case, this is an outstanding book, which this reviewer highly recommends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doing justice to Ms. Webster and to the Jewish Nation, October 14, 2009

This review is from: World Revolution The Plot Against Civilization (new edition) (Paperback)

Without a doubt, Ms. Webster, an accomplished woman in times when not many did it, is of an excellent breed, the old type, the one that we, at these times, don't meet anymore, not in high frequency, anyway. Erudite, eloquent and wise, not just intelligent, she makes her point pointedly and in an elaborate manner, supported amply by a broad bibliography. I certainly recommend it.

One point which I am set to emphasize, is the Jewish question as to their participation and initialization of the World Revolution, an issue that continues to be a thorn in their side stuck there by their vilifiers, those of all kinds, but especially the antisemites and the extreme right, in short their haters, the ones that will use any kind of argument, even the worst or, worse yet, the false, to do that.

I would like to bring here a note about this book, written by the American Opinion Bookstore, which is carrying conservative, constitutional and libertarian materials, so no stoogery here. The note is attached to each copy of the book purchased.

quote

"OBITER DICTUM

Before her death in 1960, Nesta Webster corrected errors she had made in earlier
editions - mostly due to the limited information then available. In those editions, she had been led to overemphasize the involvement of conspirators of German and Jewish extraction.

In the 1971 hardback edition of World revolution, published in London , we find these corrections: on page 10, she states "... I devoted some pages to the Protocols. Today, however, both the German and Jewish questions have undergone changes which necessitate a different viewpoint." Again, on page 300, "... To regard World Revolution therefore as merely a Jewish conspiracy seems contrary to the facts of history..."

These corrections are consistently ignored by both her critics and those who wish to perpetuate these errors."

end of quote

This should tell anyone who is of the opinion that it's wise to do so, that this is not so, and to just stop the perpetuated vilification of the Jews, and the deliberate falsification of history.

I live in Russia and I am old enough to remember last decades of the "Communist" rule. I was interested in a book with external view, with ideas, thoughts and information that could be new for me, with something strange, unimaginable etc. I found standard curses towards the Bolsheviks. I appreciate and I share them but they are of no real interest.
