 Reuters reported on October 14 that Benito Mussolini had been in the pay of British intelligence services during the First World War. The implication of the story is that Mussolini was paid to beat up Marxist peace protesters and that his “right wing” Fascist movement was a willing tool of British wealth.

The United States, which had declared war on Germany the previous month, was in the process of drafting millions of men, more than 100,000 of whom would lose their lives.

The second revolution — the October bloodbath that would thrust those living under Russian rule under the heel of Bolshevism — lay only months away.

The time was October 1940, and the curtain had descended upon the Jews in Nazi-occupied Warsaw.
