Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein
by Miles Mathis
First published May 19, 2020
They never tell you in
school the interesting or important things about historical figures, but I will.
Some of you may know I majored in philosophy and Latin. I sat in on a
graduate-level course on Wittgenstein my senior year, though I found it very
tiresome. I took it only because we had a Wittgenstein specialist in our
department, and he was highly regarded—though I don't remember by whom. Not by
me. We also covered Russell in another class, though briefly. I always had a
sneaking feeling he was big phony, and of course it turns out I was right.
However, at the time I would never have thought to connect either of these guys
to the rising Modern art movements of their time, or to Modernism at all. That
is because of the way they are taught—the way everything is taught in college.
IN ISOLATION.
In fact, I wouldn't now say that Wittgenstein and Russell were taught in
college; rather, they were promoted. We were supposed to believe they were
important for some reason, though no one ever really got around to saying why.
All the evidence was to the contrary, so everything had to be spun hard. I now
suspect that those promoting them must have been related to them somehow, though
I was in Texas. I can't figure out why else anyone would promote these guys, or
find them fascinating enough to study.
To start with, both of them come from fantastic wealth. Wittgenstein is admitted
to be Jewish—the family had previously been Meiers—and his father was one the
wealthiest men in Europe. Karl Wittgenstein was an industrial tycoon who had a
monopoly on Austria's steel cartel, and he was a friend of Andrew Carnegie. He
owned 13 mansions in Vienna alone. But we are supposed to believe his son's fame
had nothing to do with that. It also had nothing to do with being promoted by
his professor Russell, a future Earl, who was also from one of the wealthiest
families in Europe. Here is Pembroke Lodge, where Russell grew up:
And that picture makes it look smaller than it actually is. It was given by
Queen Victoria to her prime minister Lord John Russell, who entertained the
Queen there as well as Dickens, Thackeray, Longfellow, and Tennyson.
The Russells were dukes, earls, and everything else, descended from the Duke of
Bedford who had been raised to the peerage by Henry VIII and given land and
property in Tavistock stolen from the monasteries. In fact, that is one reason
why that name Tavistock is important. They try to hide the roots of these
Russells, scrubbing them before that, but it is not hard to find that they
descend through the female line from the de la Tours, top nobles of France
connected to the Royal lines back to the time of Charlemagne. See Hugh of Tours,
whose two daughters married into the Carolingian and Capetian dynasties. His
first daughter Ermengard married Lothair and become Empress of the Romans. His
second daughter married Robert the Strong, making her the grandmother of Hugh
Capet, King of the Franks. We also link to the Habsburgs, since Hugh of Tours
was an Etichonid, that is a descendant of Adalrich, Duke of Alsace. Through his
wife, we link to even earlier Merovingian kings of the Franks (including
Clovis), as well as to the kings of Thuringia (Germany). We are taught these
Frankish kings descended somehow from Roman generals, but there is no evidence
of that. So we may assume the most likely thing, given what we already know:
they were Phoenician navy.
I mean, just use your eyes! Does he look Jewish/Phoenician or not?

There is another recent Russell, Duke of Bedford. Any questions?
Also remember that Russell's mother was Lady Catherine Stanley, of the Barons of
Alderley, Isle of Mann. They are also Owens, Lathoms, Cholmondeleys, Warburtons,
Pitts, Leighs, Lennards, and Holroyds. Through his paternal grandmother, Russell
was also a Murray, so his parents were cousins. The Murrays and Stanleys are
closely related, and the Murrays actually took up the Stanley line. In this line
he is also a Steuart, a Spencer, and a Hamilton.
But although the Jewish thing is an easy card to lead with, it isn't why I am
here. I am here because I detest everything these guys stand for. Let's just go
down Russell's Wiki page to see why I say that. We are supposed to believe that
by his teens he had already come to the conclusion there was no free will and no
life after death. We are told that Mill's Autobiography convinced him to be an
atheist. So he was a sad case from the beginning, either ruined by his
aristocratic upbringing or recruited to promote those ideas to the plebes.
He soon ended up at Trinity College, Cambridge, AKA spook college #1. It makes
Skull and Bones at Yale look like a Tupperware party. This is where he became an
Apostle. These are the spooks that fed the Bloomsbury Group, which was mostly
gay and totally Jewish. They promoted “intrinsic value”, which was a misnomer
since it had no value. It was an excuse for these rich people to do as they
pleased with no regard for the consequences of their actions. Amazingly, even
Wikipedia now admits that on the Bloomsbury page. We are told the group reacted
against bourgeois habits. . . as if they knew anything about bourgeois habits.
Basically they were a group of miserable super-upperclass bastards and cunts who
hid behind fancy terms like philosophy, politics, and art, to justify doing just
as they pleased—and that was always vulgar, shallow, and ignoble. Same thing the
rich have always done and still do.
Bloomsbury is our first explicit link to Modern art, which I alluded to above.
These people fancied themselves writers and painters, but none of them could
write or paint—which is what makes them Modern. They linked themselves to the
post-Impressionists, which was the beginning of the end for art. It bottomed out
soon after that, in no small part due to these people and their pathetic ideas.
For more on this, see my old paper on Clive Bell and formalism.
We are supposed to believe that the Bloomsbury Group, the Apostles, and people
like Russell were liberal, but that is just a joke. They weren't liberal, they
were Marxist, that is, crypto-fascist. Yes, they believed in sexual freedom, but
that isn't liberal, it is licentious. Liberal implies they were for fairness,
but how could they be when their lives depended on privilege? In a fair world,
people who could actually write, paint, and do math would have become famous
writers, painters, and mathematicians, instead of them. Do you think they really
wanted that?
If you don't think Russell was a spook, you may want to read more on the
Apostles, especially the later Cambridge Five (note how the Rothschilds are
involved there). You will say that was after the time of Russell's heyday, but
he was still around. He was alive until the 1970s, and the Cambridge spies were
admitted to be there from the 30s to the 50s. That was just one of the rare
cases it became public. The Apostles were always spooks, back to the very
beginning. They were founded in 1820 by George Tomlinson, later Bishop of
Gibraltar, who, during his time at Cambridge, was a protégé of Sir Robert Peel.
We are told Peel hired Tomlinson as a tutor. . . wink, wink, nudge, nudge. You
remember Peel, right? The guy who is on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's? The guy,
Baronet Peel, who was from a family of wealthy textile manufacturers? The guy
who was Home Secretary and twice Prime Minister of England? The guy who founded
the Metropolitan Police force and Scotland Yard? The guy who basically founded
MI5 eighty years before you are told it was founded?
Another thing to know is that Tomlinson's father-in-law was General Sir Patrick
Stuart, Governor of Malta. He was not only of the Lords of Blantyre, he was a
Hamilton, a Lyon (Earls of Strathmore), a Stanhope (Earls of Chesterfield), and
a Lindsay. So he was connected to the royal houses of England and Scotland in
many lines. Tomlinson's second wife was also a cousin, and his second
father-in-law was Colonel Charles Mackenzie-Fraser, 10th of Inverallochy. This
connected him to the Mackenzies (Earls of Seaforth), Forbes, Hays (Earls of
Erroll), Erskines (Earls of Mars), Douglases (Earls of Buchan and Earls of
Morton), Keiths (Earls Marischal), and Stuarts (Dukes of Lennox).
Anyway, back to Russell. By age 24 he was teaching German social democracy at
the London School of Economics, proving once again his spookhood. There is no
such thing as German social democracy: that is just another term for Marxism,
and we know what to think of that. Russell then joined the Webbs in the Fabian
Society, which was more of the same. The current Queen is a Webb. The Fabians
are the ones that proudly announce in their coat of arms that they are wolves in
sheep's clothing.
Their job, like that of Marx, Debs, and thousands of others, was to infiltrate
labor and utterly destroy it. Which they have done and continue to do. So you
can see why I scoffed at Russell's claim to be liberal. No one connected to the
Fabians and the London School of Economics is liberal.
In 1903 Russell published The Principles of Mathematics, which was rightly
called 500 pages of garbage at the time. Peirce, who they apparently forgot to
pay off, said it was completely unoriginal and “hardly literature”. Even G. H.
Hardy, who was paid to promote it, admitted that Russell's dismissal of
Relativity was a mistake. Russell ended up agreeing, since in later works he
jumped on the Relativity bandwagon, promoting Einstein far beyond his merits
while overlooking the obvious mathematical mistakes of the early Relativity
papers. You should ask yourself, if Russell was such a great mathematician, why
didn't he spot these basic algebraic errors in Einstein's published papers? Did
he even read the original documents, or did he just read reports of them?
Strangely, Hardy also admits:
The philosopher who attempts to read the book will be especially puzzled by the
constant presupposition of a whole philosophical system utterly unlike any of
those usually accepted.
Like Hardy, I also used to be puzzled by this, but no longer am. I now know that
Russell was on assignment, and like the rest of the Moderns he was instructed to
“presuppose” idiotic ideas in order to create chaos. It wasn't an accident.
You may wish to read Jules Vuillemin's 1968 review of this book a little more
closely:
The Principles inaugurated contemporary philosophy. Other works have won and
lost the title. Such is not the case with this one. It is serious, and its
wealth perseveres. Furthermore, in relation to it, in a deliberate fashion or
not, it locates itself again today in the eyes of all those that believe that
contemporary science has modifed our representation of the universe and through
this representation, our relation to ourselves and to others.
Yes, and that is precisely the problem. Contemporary science has certainly
modified our view of the universe and so on, but not in a good way. The analogy
is contemporary art, which has also modified our view of things. . . by
destroying art. Also curious to find it admitted that “contemporary science”
goes back to 1902 and earlier. That was before Relativity and before Quantum
Mechanics, so we are not talking about those things here. Russell and others had
already redefined science before those things came along. The destruction of
math and science has its roots in the 19th century, going all the way back to
Gauss and Lobachevsky in the 1820s—about the same time Socialism rose its ugly,
fake head.
Wikipedia also tacks on a tacit admission that Russell purposely blackwashed
Leibniz in this book, see Katz and Sherry, 2012, at ArXiv. [This ties into my
recent paper on Newton.] They accuse Russell of a string of non-sequiturs, which
is generous. The book is really just 500 pages of sludge, and doesn't bear
reading much less rereading or serious study.
I mean, this is a guy who thought Wittgenstein was a genius. If you are disposed
to consider that possibility, based on prior promotion, you might wish to either
read the Tractatus, which is short, or— if you actually have a life—study this
list of his seven main propositions:
1. The world is everything that is the case.
2. What is the case (a fact) is the existence of states of affairs.
3. A logical picture of facts is a thought.
4. A thought is a proposition with a sense.
5. A proposition is a truth-function of elementary propositions. (An elementary
proposition is a truth-function of itself.)
6. The general form of a proposition is the general form of a truth function.
7. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. Given that, we wonder
why Wittgenstein didn't remain silent.
In fact, he admitted in later writings (Philosophical Investigations) this was
all bombast, but those writings were suppressed until after his death.
Here is another example of Wittgenstein's brilliance. In his “picture theory”,
we are told:
According to the theory, propositions can "picture" the world as being a certain
way, and thus accurately represent it either truly or falsely.[13] If someone
thinks the proposition, "There is a tree in the yard," then that proposition
accurately pictures the world if and only if there is a tree in the
yard[13]:p53.
Yes, someone actually found that statement worth footnoting. Good to know that
kids are now paying
$60,000 a year to go to college and learn such things (online).
In 1913 Russell and Whitehead renamed Principles of Mathematics as Principia
Mathematica, padding it out with a further 1,500 pages of schist, which probably
no one in history has ever read, or should read. This work is most famous for
solving Russell's own fake paradox of 1901, which I suppose he knocked together
just so he could be famous for later solving it. I have previously stated my
opinion that this was all a tempest in a teapot, and that any truly intelligent
person would have solved the paradox in about fifteen minutes. No, even that is
saying too much. An intelligent person would have never recognized a paradox to
start with, since the original “paradox” was just the manufacturing of a problem
where there wasn't one. These rich, talentless babies have to justify the air
they breathe somehow, at least to themselves, and this is the way they do it.
If you don't believe me, Wikipedia is good enough to admit it:
Somewhat infamously, several hundred pages of PM precede the proof of the
validity of the proposition 1+1=2.
Russell had three aims in writing this 2000-page work, the second one being:
to precisely express mathematical propositions in symbolic logic using the most
convenient notation that precise expression allows.
Part of that precise expression was the several hundred pages we just heard
about, which include this highly useful proof of 1+1=2:
If that's what you want to do with your life, have at it. I have better things
to do. Such as real math and real physics.
Now let's switch over to Wittgenstein for a bit. His cousin on his mother's side
was Nobel Laureate Friedrich Hayek. Think actress Salma Hayek, who played her
cousin Frida Kahlo. We are told Salma's father is Lebanese, but he is Jewish.
Salma is married to billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, who is also a Perrine
and a Gautier. Meaning, he is also Jewish, related to the Perons, Penns,
Pereiras, etc. He owns Gucci, Puma, Yves Saint Laurent, and many other brands.
Kahlo was also a Calderon, and she allegedly slept with Trotsky, remember, although these people are normally gay and just beards for one another. It is known Kahlo was gay, since she famously wore men's clothing and slept with Georgia O'Keeffe and Josephine Baker—although this is not mentioned on her Wiki page.
Baker of course was a spy.
Both her parents are hidden, though her father was obviously white. Her mother
was half-white as well. Baker had a long Jewish face and nose, so we may assume
her “German” father was Jewish, especially given her fame. Only Jewish people
get famous, you know, especially in the arts. Here's some numerology from her
bio to salt that in:
At 13 Baker worked as a waitress at the Old Chauffeur's Club at 3133 Pine
Street.
Just study her face: she looks 3 parts Jewish and 1 part black. She supposedly
married first at age 13.
Later she married French industrialist Jean Lion (Lyon/Lyons, the current Queen
of England is a Lyons). His mother was a Levy.
Kahlo's husband was artist Diego Rivera, real name Diego Maria de la Concepcion
Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera Barrientos Acosta y Rodriquez. So we can
tell he was not only nobility, but which nobility. Nepomuk Stanislaus—which
links him to the Nepomuks of Bohemia, especially Prince Klemens Nepomuk
Metternich, Chancellor of the Austrian Empire 1821-48. One of the premier
fascists and tyrants of all time. This tells me Rivera's famous run-in with
Nelson Rockefeller over the mural in New York was probably manufactured.
Rockefeller would have no problem with a painting of Lenin, since people like
him put Lenin in power to start with. Given the people involved, the mural flap
was probably an argument over money. Being an aristocrat himself, Rivera
probably expected to actually be paid for his work. The Rockefellers weren't
used to paying artists fairly for their time, you know. Plus, we know the story
about removing the mural with jackhammers is false. Why would you remove a mural
with jackhammers when you could just paint over it? If you want to be sure it is
never restored, just wash it with turpentine or some other solvent.
Rivera was later head of Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis in Mexico, which
had been founded in the US in 1915 by Harvey Spencer Lewis, who of course was
age 33 at the time. Lewis was also a Rittenhouse and a Hoffman. In 1905, at age
20, Lewis had also founded the New York Institute for Psychical Research,
proving that was also a spook front. It was a spin-off of ASPR, founded 20 years
earlier by another set of spooks, including William James, Granville Stanley
Hall, George Stuart Fullerton, and many others. They were all precursors of
people like James Randi, who is cut from the same cloth.
Reading about the lives of Baker, Kahlo, and these people may make you wistful.
You may think these people led such interesting lives. But most of that glamor
is only on paper. In real life they were awful people who soon burned themselves
out. Kahlo painted the same painting over and over for two decades, while being
a drunk and a floozy. Her husband was a fat ugly Jew twenty years her senior,
whom nobody could have wished to sleep with.
That picture is almost as painful to look at as the pictures of Salma Hayek with
her gnarly old husband.
Kahlo had syphilis and a
variety of other diseases, which killed her by age 47.
Friedrich Hayek was also a big fake of course, as all famous economists are. He
is famous for The Road to Serfdom, and no, I don't think that title is meant as
a handbook to serfdom, although it might as well be. We are told:
Hayek was concerned about the general view in Britain's academia that fascism
was a capitalist reaction to socialism and The Road to Serfdom arose from those
concerns.
Yeah, I'll bet. Are we really supposed to believe any thinking person thought
fascism was a capitalist reaction to socialism? Talk about turning the screw!
Fascism isn't a reaction against anything, since it is the fundamental, default,
and hidden position behind both socialism and capitalism. All the governors and
governments are fascist and always have been, though they later became
capitalist as well. That simply means that those with huge amounts of capital
own everything, and everyone else owns nothing of importance. Socialism is just
a curtain the fascists hide behind. So there was nothing for Hayek to be
concerned about one way or the other. Except that he was hired to provide the
second path of misdirection here.
Of course Hayek also came out of the London School of Fascism, I mean Economics.
Amazingly, they try to sell Hayek's ideas as Classical Liberalism. You have to
laugh. These spooks like Russell, Rivera, and Hayek are always liberal. We are
told that Hayek “warns of the dangers of tyranny that inevitably result from
government control of decision making through central planning”. Warns? As if
that is something that might happen in the future? Is Hayek implying he knows of
some government that isn't tyrannical by that definition? Can he tell us when or
where that existed? Hayek tutored David Rockefeller, which tells you just how
liberal he really was.
Guess who promoted The Road to Serfdom in the US right after the war in 1945?
Max Eastman, who we looked at in my paper on Eugene Debs. Eastman was Jewish,
Communist, protégé of Dewey, died in Barbados, mother was a Ford, pretended to
be Protestant, married a Bolshevik, brother-in-law of Soviet Commissar of
Justice Krylenko. Eastman early pretended to be a radical, but of course ended
up at the National Review. Enough said. The standard career arc of these people.
The Road to Serfdom was just the usual feint, written to make its readers think
the US hadn't always been a fascist state run by a small minority. It was the
standard flag-waving misdirection, meant to fool its Readers Digest-level
audience into believing their governors had their best interests in mind by
embracing capitalism and privatization. Also remember that Thatcher was a big
fan of Hayek, which tells you again just how liberal he was. Thatcher, like the
rest, wanted you to believe it was all a question of Socialism versus
Capitalism, when it wasn't. Both Capitalism and Socialism were fronts for the
same Tory fascists who had always been running the world, but they had to keep
your eyes off that by any means.
Wittgenstein grew up at the center of Viennese culture at the turn of the
century. His father collected Rodin, Klimt painted his sister, and Brahms and
Mahler played concerts in the house.
Wittgenstein and his siblings were tutored at home by the best teachers in
Europe. Despite this privilege, three of his four brothers later killed
themselves, and Wittgenstein was always suicidal. We are supposed to believe he
was raised Catholic, but they admit that, like Russell, he was an atheist by 15.
At the same time, Wittgenstein became a devotee of Otto Weininger (1880–1903):
Weininger, who was also Jewish, argued that the concepts male and female exist
only as Platonic forms, and that Jews tend to embody the platonic femininity.
Whereas men are basically rational, women operate only at the level of their
emotions and sexual organs. Jews, Weininger argued, are similar, saturated with
femininity, with no sense of right and wrong, and no soul.
Really? Well, I guess that explains a few things. As you see from his dates,
Weininger also died young, by suicide. No wonder. We are told Weininger
influenced August Stringberg, James Joyce, and the Nazis. That also fits like a
glove, doesn't it? A few months before his suicide, Weininger converted to
Protestantism. Wittgenstein attended his funeral at age 14, which tells us a
lot.
Wittgenstein and Hitler went to school together, proving once again Hitler was
from wealth, but this is papered over with all sorts of absurdities like this:
Laurence Goldstein argues it is "overwhelmingly probable" the boys met each
other: that Hitler would have disliked Wittgenstein, a "stammering, precocious,
precious, aristocratic upstart ..."[85][86] Other commentators have dismissed as
irresponsible and uninformed any suggestion that Wittgenstein's wealth and
unusual personality may have fed Hitler's antisemitism, in part because there is
no indication that Hitler would have seen Wittgenstein as Jewish.[87][88]
Except that they are forgetting several important facts: Hitler was also Jewish,
gay, precious, aristocratic, and an actor. But note who is promoting this
confusion: a Goldstein. So what do you expect. He has no soul.
They admit Wittgenstein only attended college for three semesters, but for some
reason was given a diploma anyway, when he had just turned 19. You will remind
me that I almost graduated at 19, but I spent more than three semesters at
university. If I had graduated at 19, I would have been in school two full
years, plus three summer schools, plus testing out of 30 hours. We have no
indication Wittgenstein did anything like that. That same spring, he allegedly
began working on a doctorate in aeronautics at Victoria University of
Manchester, though they admit he was hopeless at that and soon quit. Suddenly he
took an interest in logic in 1911 and immediately showed his first work to Frege
at the University of Jena. You know, as you do. You dabble in something for a
few weeks and then introduce yourself to the world's foremost authority on the
subject. For some reason, Frege sent him to Russell at Cambridge—probably as
some sort of cruel joke upon Russell. They admit Russell's lectures were very
poorly attended, and that Wittgenstein became his fourth (unofficial) student.
Wittgenstein was not accepted to Cambridge at that time, so he was just sitting
in. Then we get this, which is quite easy to see through:
Three months after Wittgenstein's arrival Russell told Morrell: "I love him &
feel he will solve the problems I am too old to solve ... He is the young man
one hopes for."[114] Wittgenstein later told David Pinsent that Russell's
encouragement had proven his salvation, and had ended nine years of loneliness
and suffering, during which he had continually thought of suicide. In
encouraging him to pursue philosophy and in justifying his inclination to
abandon engineering, Russell had, quite literally, saved Wittgenstein's life.
So, the usual Greek thing. Wittgenstein remained a big baby his whole life,
needing the protection of older men, as we see from his later run-in with Karl
Popper in 1946. Wittgenstein was 56 by then, so he should have been capable of
debate, but he wasn't. Popper was guest speaker at the Cambridge Moral Sciences
Club, with Wittgenstein in attendance. Popper correctly pointed out that
philosophy was the study of real problems, or should be, not just the listing of
linguistic puzzles, when Wittgenstein started waving a poker at him and
demanding he give an example of any moral rule. Popper offered the rule that
guest speakers should not be threatened with pokers, but Russell had to
intervene. Wittgenstein ended up storming out of the room. I guess he went to
crawl under the bed and reread his Weininger.
Wittgenstein also became an Apostle, although he didn't like the meetings
because he wasn't the only beloved one there.
Russell had been worried that Wittgenstein would not appreciate the group's
raucous style of intellectual debate, its precious sense of humour, and the fact
that the members were often in love with one another.[16][McGuinness, 1988]
Hmmm. Interesting to see someone admit it. Actually, Wittgenstein's
homosexuality is well documented, which should bring into question Russell's
sexuality. But strangely it never does. Russell is protected by his four wives.
However, it is worth pointing out in this regard that Russell was always a
leader in homosexual law reform, later taking credit when homosexuality was
partially legalized in 1967. Not saying that is conclusive, but it is a clue.
In 1913, Wittgenstein's father died, making him one of the wealthiest men in
Europe at age 23. Why don't they ever teach that in school? I never knew it
until today. Wittgenstein earned no degree from Cambridge at the time, just
being allowed to hang out there because he was a rich guy, I guess. In his bio,
I find no evidence he was even accepted there. At any rate, after coming into
his inheritance, he took off for Norway, to write the misnamed Logik. While in
his cabin, he insisted Cambridge don G.
E. Moore visit him to help him with his manuscript. Again, as you do. You have
trouble finishing a paper in your cabin in Norway, so you helicopter in the don
of Cambridge.
By the way, Moore's grandfather was the famous British Israelite Dr. George
Moore. Not beside the point, as you now understand. Moore's grandparents were
cousins. As Sturges, they were peerage, related to the Marshalls, Sargents,
Clothiers, Clarkes, Newmans, Cadburys, and Russells. Geni fudges this as Rustell,
but they aren't fooling me. They were Quakers. Moore's wife was an Ely, also
peerage, related to the Stuarts.
Even with Moore's help, Wittgenstein made little progress. He demanded that he
should be able to spot a tautology on sight, but never really figured out how to
do that. So he gave it up and simply asserted that tautologies announced
themselves.
The next year, 1914, we are supposed to believe one of the richest gay men in
Europe volunteered for the Austrian army. Yeah, I bet he did. We are told almost
nothing of his first two years as a soldier, but then we are told that in 1916
he was on the Russian front, where he allegedly fought against British troops,
and was awarded many medals. He was finally promoted to lieutenant in 1918, so
we are supposed believe he was a private from 1914 to 1918? Oivay. We are then
supposed to believe he took military leave in summer of 1918, retiring to his
summer house in Vienna to complete the Tractatus. Yeah, that makes sense. You
get promoted to lieutenant near the end of the war, during the heaviest
fighting, and they immediately send you home to work on your famous book? And
you have no problem concentrating on that book after almost four years of being
in the army, in the worst war of all time?
After giving his book to the publisher, in October Wittgenstein was sent back to
the front and was allegedly captured by the Allies in Trentino. We are supposed
to believe the richest man in Austria then spent nine months in an Italian
concentration camp. I guess his bunkmate was Andrew Carnegie.
When he was released, he decided to become an elementary school teacher and give
up his fortune. We are supposed to believe he gave it all to his siblings, and
despite the fact they thought he was shellshocked from the war, they accepted.
Witty didn't do this because he admired the common man and wished to live more
simply. On the contrary, we are told he despised the riffraff around him. We are
supposed to believe he beat his students, even the females, scoffed at the
priests, and shouted insults at the headmaster.
None of this is believable in the least, and it is hard to believe anyone takes
the time writing it down.
The only book he published in his lifetime, the Tractatus, came out in 1921,
when he was 31. It was only 75 pages, but it was still at least as unreadable as
Russell. It was published only with the help of Russell, who wrote the
introduction. Wittgenstein couldn't even come up with a title: it was Moore who
did that, referencing Spinoza—who must have turned over in his grave. On the
authority of Russell, the book became a minor sensation. All the cool people had
to pretend to read it, pretend to understand it, and pretend to admire it—sort
of like with Derrida later, or Stephen Hawking even later.
Wittgenstein then moved to an even smaller town, where he thought even less of
the people.
These people are not human at all but loathsome worms," he wrote to a friend—and
he left after a month. In November he began work at another primary school, this
time in Puchberg in the Schneeberg mountains. There, he told Russell, the
villagers were "one-quarter animal
and three-quarters human."
Charming.
In 1926, Wittgenstein was teaching 11-year-olds, and beat one boy until he
collapsed. This reminds us that Witty was not only gay, but also imbalanced and
possibly insane. He should not have been teaching young boys at all. He had
previously beaten a young girl from the same class until her ears bled. The
police were called but Wittgenstein fled. A judge ordered a psychiatric
evaluation, but Witty was gone. And now for the punch line. The boy soon died,
but we are assured it was from hemophilia. Sure it was. The case was covered up
by family money, but it looks to me like Wittgenstein was a child murderer. I
don't remember being taught that in my class in college.
Somehow Wittgenstein got famous, probably by just buying fame outright. Early
on, it was claimed the Vienna Circle had formed just to discuss the Tractatus,
but the historians have changed their tune on that one. Those involved probably
spent their money and decided they didn't want that on their records, so they
changed the story. It was then Mach, Frege, and Russell who influenced them. It
doesn't really matter who influenced them, since it was just a Circle Jerk of
homunculi. Popper destroyed the whole lot of them with one hand, and even Popper
was no genius. He was sober and disciplined, and wasn't a Modern, and that was
all that was required.
This will give you an idea of the sort of fawning that went on over
Wittgenstein:
His point of view and his attitude toward people and problems, even theoretical
problems, were much more similar to those of a creative artist than to those of
a scientist; one might almost say, similar to those of a religious prophet or a
seer... When fnally, sometimes after a prolonged arduous effort, his answers
came forth, his statement stood before us like a newly created piece of art or a
divine revelation ... the impression he made on us was as if insight came to him
as through divine inspiration, so that we could not help feeling that any sober
rational comment or analysis of it would be a profanation.
That is from Rudolf Carnap, one of the logical positivists. Remind yourself that
Wittgenstein was a billionaire, lunatic, and child beater, and then re-evaluate
that statement. Carnap just sounds like a toady, doesn't he?
In 1929 Wittgenstein returned to Cambridge. Since he was 40 and had no degree,
he “initially” couldn't join the PhD program. So he entered as an undergraduate.
But he (or Russell) soon paid off the right people, and within a few months they
gave him a PhD, appointed him as a lecturer, and made him a fellow of Trinity
College. As you might expect, Wittgenstein didn't take this very seriously
either, and buggered off to Norway, France, or Ireland whenever he felt like it.
The Wittgensteins were granted mischling status by Hitler, though it is admitted
they had three Jewish grandparents (and they actually had four). Only 12 people
were granted this status in 1939, and six of them were Wittgensteins. But I'm
sure the fact they were billionaires had nothing to do with it. In fact, we now
know that this whole mischling thing was misch-direction, since Hitler and all
his top people were Jewish, including Eichmann, Himmler, Goebbels, and all the
rest. Most of Germany's generals and field marshals were Jewish. But
Wittgenstein getting a bye on the Jewish question is still informative, since
not all the richest Jews did, according to the mainstream stories. Many were
allegedly sent to camps, although these stories are false. So why not make up
one of these stories for the Wittgensteins? I guess because they had already
told enough tall tales about Ludwig during the
First War, and didn't feel like doing it again.
In 1939 Wittgenstein was given English citizenship and became head of the
philosophy department at Cambridge. As head, he came up with some more striking
and brilliant ideas, such as denying that there were any mathematical facts to
be discovered. He had previously denied that you could talk sensibly about
religion, aesthetics, ethics, and mysticism, and he was now adding math and
logic to that. He should have said that he could not talk sense about any of
those things, which was undeniably true. He never once did.
In these years, around age 50, Wittgenstein should have been at the peak of his
powers, but he wrote and published nothing and lectured very little—and when he
did it was unintelligible. Mostly he watched movies and read detective novels.
There was only one good thing about Wittgenstein: he knew he was a fraud and
kept returning to manual labor. He hated being department head at Cambridge and
took a job at a nearby hospital running errands. He delivered drugs from
pharmacies to patients, then advised them not to take them. You have to like
that. He should have been a janitor or a ditch digger. At 50 he still couldn't
speak English well, which doesn't say much for his intelligence. He admitted
throughout his life that he was miserable everywhere he went, and constantly
thinking of suicide. More indication he was out of place in academia.
So why did Russell and these other people promote him? Was it all just a cruel
joke? Was it all just for money? Did he give millions to the college with the
understanding they would sell him as a philosopher? Or was it all just one more
script of Project Chaos: sell this nitwit as the greatest sage since Spinoza, to
confuse the Gentiles? That is the only way I can make sense of it. In that way,
he was part of the Modern Art project. The grand 20th-century plan of purposeful
dissolution of everything, the destruction of society for further profit and
control. Wittgenstein should have been sold as part of Dada, except that would
have been to admit it was all a purposeful absurdity. That wouldn't do because
they wanted you to take all this philosophy, math, and science seriously. If you
did your ability to think would be permanently short-circuited, and you would
believe anything and agree to anything. It was a form of brainwashing via a
faux-education.
And of course that is the right answer, since that project has continued to
expand and accelerate every decade since then. All of modern life has been
subsumed in that project, which we might call “confound the Gentiles”. The
analogy is the Native Americans hunting pronghorns with magic wands, hypnotizing
them with chanting and weird motions, except here the Jews are the hunters and
we are the pronghorns. We are the ones that pile up in a running wreck, where we
are slaughtered for our fur and horns.
But let's finish off Wittgenstein before returning to Russell. They admit
Wittgenstein was sleeping with his students at Cambridge, including some young
men who were only teenagers. He just gets more endearing the more we know,
doesn't he? At least he didn't kill any of these kids, as far as we know. Or
maybe he did. One of them was Francis Skinner, who became his lover in 1930 at
age 18. Witty was 41. But Skinner didn't make it 30, dying in October 11, 1941,
allegedly of polio. Given Wittgenstein's known past, that should look
suspicious, and to me it does. Although Skinner took a degree in mathematics and
was awarded a postgraduate fellowship, we are told he dropped out of school and
became a mechanic—with Wittgenstein's encouragement. So, either Skinner faked
his death and joined MI5, or something more sinister happened there.
Anyway, Wittgenstein then hooked up with Skinner's bodyshop pal Keith Kirk, who
was even younger. This was 1939, so Wittgenstein was now 50. That didn't last
long, since Kirk allegedly got married (or went into MI6, or ended up in the
Thames). So Wittgenstein then hooked up with Basil Reeve, a young doctor he had
met at the hospital where he worked. So now I guess we know why he wanted to
work in the hospital. Not enough first-rate tail at Cambridge. That lasted a
couple of years, but then Wittgenstein moved on to Ben Richards (above), who
remained with him until his death about five years later. Wittgenstein had
looked very young his whole life, but suddenly at age 60 he hit the wall, we are
told due to prostate cancer. He died two years later, but given he had been
sleeping with so many young men, my guess is he died of some kind of venereal
disease. Who knows. Who cares?
You will say I seem to have lost my usual cheery demeanor, along with my usual
levels of pity and sympathy, which is true. These people will do it to you. I
think you see why I am disgusted by Wittgenstein. It isn't his Jewishness or
homosexuality. It is that he is such an obvious fraud, promoted
only because of his money and background. It is that his bio is such a pathetic
lie. It is that he beat up children and called country people worms and animals.
It is that he used his positions to prey on young men. It is that he continues
to be promoted by his cousins, although they must know all this. It makes me
wish the corona hoax will bankrupt all the universities, and that students will
refuse to return to them in the fall, to pay exorbitant amounts to be lectured
to online by a series of charlatans, liars, and monsters.
Perhaps the most amazing thing is that all that I have shown you above is freely
available at mainstream sites. I have not done any original research here. Most
of it is posted at Wikipedia, so it isn't like people don't know any better.
Academics and other professionals know exactly what is going on, and they
continue to promote it.
OK, so let's finish off Russell so that I can go take a series of showers,
washing this misery from me. I now think that Russell's Socialism, pacificism,
and other political stances were misdirection, Russell being an agent of the
Eugene Debs sort. Debs fooled me for years, until I finally looked closely at
him. At that point, everything flipped 180 degrees. Debs was clearly an agent
whose job was to infiltrate the unions and detooth them. Russell was simply his
British counterpart, both of them controlling the opposition. What clued me into
this was the claim that Russell spent six months in Brixton prison in 1918 for
his vocal opposition to WWI. Exactly like Debs did in the US. But there is no
possibility Russell ever spent a minute in prison. Remember, he was a
46-year-old Earl by that time, and world famous. His prison term was faked to
scare others from opposing the war. What better way to squelch dissent?
Like others we have looked at, Russell couldn't maintain the pose for long, and
he later was in favor of preventative nuclear war, nuking Japan, world
government, and other clearly fascist enterprises. He also supported the war
against Hitler, so he was just reading from whatever cue-cards his cousins were
feeding him. If they wanted him to pretend to be against WWI, he was. If they
wanted him to be for WWII, he was. If they had told him to go on all fours and
bark like a little terrier, he would have done that, too.
Also a clue is that Russell was promoted in rank. His father was only a
Viscount, but Bertrand was promoted to Earl. So the monarch couldn't have been
too upset by his pacifism, eh? In 1949 Russell was awarded the Order of Merit by
George VI. George pretended to be embarrassed at giving the award to someone
jailed by the Crown for a conviction under Defense of the Realm Act (passed on
August 8, 1914, by the way, aces and eights, Chai), saying "You have sometimes
behaved in a manner that would not do if generally adopted". But this was all
more theater, of course, since if Russell had really caused the Crown any
trouble, they would not have given him awards. Same thing we saw in earlier
papers with the Rolling Stones, who were knighted despite supposedly attacking
the monarchy on many occasions.
We have more evidence of this when, immediately after the War, he was reinstated
at Cambridge. This after being dismissed in 1916 for his pacifist writings and
statements. Why would they reinstate him right after he got out of jail? I am
telling you why: because he was never in jail. It was all a stageplay, and after
the war the stageplay was over. Time to get on to the next project.
That project was another spook project, since as soon as he had he rejoined
Cambridge he travelled to Russia to “investigate the effects” of the Revolution.
Right. He and his delegation weren't there to investigate effects, they were
there to manage their actors. As cover, Russell later wrote he wasn't a fan of
Bolshevism, but that didn't stop him from dumping his wife for Dora Black, who
was
simultaneously selling the Revolution as the greatest thing since. . . since the
previous fake revolution. Dora's father was Order of the Bath, but her mother is
scrubbed at both Wikipedia and thepeerage.com. Geni gives her as Davisson, then
scrubs her. Geneanet has several pages on Russell, but all of them also scrub
Dora Black. However, the Blacks were baronets at the time, related to the la
Touches, and through them to the Pagets of Anglesey. Also related to the Leesons,
which linked them to the Leighs. Russell was also a Leigh, so Dora was a cousin.
Of course. This tends to support the idea that she was mainly a new beard. The
Blacks were also related to the Jocelyn Earls, and through them to the Hamiltons.
Linking Dora and Bertrand a second time.
Dora was six months pregnant when Russell finally asked Alys for a divorce. He
married Dora six days after the divorce was finalized. So, a lovely man. He had
started the relationship with Dora when he was 47 and she was 25. Their
relationship lasted only about ten years, since at that time she had two
children with an American journalist. Russell then married Marjorie Spence, an
undergraduate at Oxford who had been his children's governess. She was 21 when
they met. They married on January 18, 1936, aces and eights, Chai. She was known
as Peter and smoked a pipe. A previous lover female lover of Russell called
herself Barry. Strange. Spence is scrubbed in the peerage, but the Spences are
there, since it is just a variant of Spencer. Strangely, there is a second
Marjorie Spence in the peerage with almost the same dates, though she was from
Buffalo. The Spences of the peerage are extremely well scrubbed, with many
listings that don't go anywhere or link to any peers. But we do find they are
related to the Leighs, Flemings, and Dukes of Hamilton, indicating Marjorie was
another cousin of Russell. This marriage also lasted about a decade, and was
equally unhappy.
In 1950 Russell joined the Congress for Cultural Freedom, later admitted to be a
CIA-funded anti- Communist organization. So we at last have absolute proof
Russell was a spook. He kept up the antics until he was almost 90, and we are
supposed to believe he spent a week back in Brixton prison in 1961, this time
for an anti-nuclear demonstration. Daniel Ellsberg has taken his script from
Russell in many ways, continuing to infiltrate and control the opposition
decades after his premier projects ended.
In 1957 Russell won the Kalinga Prize via UNESCO, a known CIA/MI6 front. It was
front-funded by Biju Patnaik, an Indian spook and buddy of Nehru working for the
Brits. Biju had several palaces in India, including this one:
He was one of the richest men in India, and you don't get there by being honest.
Patnaik was the Union minister for steel and mines, in which field he had made
much of his money. He was also a shipping magnate, linking him to the Phoenician
navy. That is why we see him here. He built the port at Paradeep, supposedly
with his own money, though of course the government reimbursed him. One of his
most famous quotes is “To be born poor is not a crime but to remain so is indeed
a crime”. So, another lovely man.
At age 90 Russell had a role in the fake Cuban Missile Crisis, sending Kennedy a
fake telegram pretending to take the event seriously. He did the same thing
after the fake assassination of Kennedy, selling it as real in the Who Killed
Kennedy Commission. In this Russell was, as usual, the controlled opposition,
questioning the Warren Commission but never questioning the event as a whole. As
late as 1970, at age 97, Russell was pretending to be the opposition to Israel,
condemning their aggression in the Middle East. In this, he was showing the way
to Noam Chomsky, who would take over his role as controlled opposition in this
and many other questions. It was all another pose, since Russell admitted he was
a Zionist in his writings and speeches. The Jews knew exactly who he was, since
he was awarded the first Jerusalem Prize in 1963. Do you think they award that
to their opposition?
On the way out, I am afraid I have more bad news. I tripped across this photo
while searching for those of Wittgenstein:
The hidden hand
That's Nietzsche, telling us who he was at that age. Did he turn against his own
people, or was he also controlling the opposition? Grist for a future paper.
