May 7 1920 This day in History. The treaty of Moscow
The Betrayal That Birthed a Beast: May 7, 1920
Georgia, Moscow, and the Pin That Lit the Fuse
“Without Georgia’s fall, the Soviet machine might never have survived long enough to starve Ukraine[3], defeat Hitler, or threaten the world with Cold War tyranny.”
As a young man—a teenager really—I knew nothing of the 1920 Treaty of Moscow[1], or the betrayal of Georgia by the Bolsheviks. History textbooks didn’t teach it. Churches rarely preached it. And even among patriotic circles, this early bloodstain in Soviet expansion was largely ignored.
When I was a kid, my dad had a lot of books from the John Birch Society. I remember those small paperbacks—maybe four by six inches—scattered around the house. Titles like None Dare Call It Treason by John Stormer, and None Dare Call It Education
Later, Stormer updated his book, and I called him. He was a pastor by then, and I had the privilege of interviewing him on the radio—twice, maybe three times. Brilliant guy. My dad had most of those books too, and while they were passionate and patriotic, I began to realize something deeper: Most of them stopped short of the real answer. They saw the disease but not the cure. Because without Christ settling the heart—without that inner lens to see rightly—all you're really doing is replacing one terrible system with another that may only be slightly less awful.
Meanwhile, above all of it, you had (and still have) the strange fellowship of elites: Bohemian Grove attendees, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderbergs, Freemasons, the Jesuits, the Illuminati, even the Vatican itself—all playing at being enemies while quietly advancing a shared agenda. It’s a world that breeds strange bedfellows. And the common thread tying them together is this: they are united in their rejection of Christ.
And that’s where the Georgia betrayal finally makes sense. The Treaty of Moscow[1] on May 7, 1920 wasn’t just a broken agreement. It was a carefully planned move in a much older game—one that has been playing out since Babel. It allowed the Bolsheviks to secure the southern corridor, gain access to vital oil routes, and set the stage for every major act of Communist tyranny that followed:
- The Holodomor[3]—Stalin’s man-made famine in Ukraine
- The Great Purge and mass executions
- The survival of the USSR through WWII—holding off Hitler with brutal resilience
- The rise of a nuclear, totalitarian Cold War empire that threatened the world for half a century
Books like these helped me piece it all together:
- The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin – A masterwork on the Federal Reserve and the monetary machinery of tyranny. I’ve spoken with Griffin.
- Thieves in the Temple by Andre Eggelletion – A bold call-out of economic slavery and central bank deception.
- None Dare Call It Treason by John A. Stormer – The Cold War classic that opened the eyes of a generation.
- None Dare Call It Education by Sally Reid – A devastating exposé of the NEA and the ideological corruption of public schooling.
- The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – Required reading on the brutal logic of tyranny.
The Treaty Was Signed—And Then Shattered
The Treaty of Moscow[1], signed on May 7, 1920, was supposed to guarantee Georgia’s independence. The Bolsheviks—masters of manipulation—recognized Georgia’s sovereignty on paper while plotting to overthrow it in secret. Less than a year later, in February 1921, the Red Army invaded. The treaty was worth nothing. And Georgia’s Menshevik-led government was swept aside in weeks.
This was the nature of Communism from the beginning. And that’s why a little book I read later in life, called You Can Trust the Communists (to Be Communists)[2] by Dr. Fred Schwarz, remains one of the most honest titles ever printed. The Communist doesn’t betray his nature when he lies, breaks treaties, or murders his allies. He fulfills it.
“The only morality of Communism is what advances the revolution. If truth works, use truth. If lies work better, lie.” — Dr. Fred C. Schwarz
Georgia’s leaders thought they could find ideological common ground with Lenin. They were Socialists too, after all. But they forgot what the Tsar’s family learned the hard way: revolution eats everything in its path—especially those who try to tame it.
The Children of the Crown and the Blood of Betrayal
We forget that the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, was a cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm II and King George V. All three were grandsons of Queen Victoria[4]. The monarchs of the major powers in World War I were literally blood relatives. But instead of peace, it led to a world war that crushed the old world and gave birth to something darker.
When the Bolsheviks took power in 1917, not all was silence. The United States, Britain, France—even Japan (who had humiliated the Russian Empire just a decade earlier in the 1904 Russo-Japanese War)—each sent troops, supplies, and advisors to support the White Russian armies fighting the Communists. One of the early hopes of the White movement was to rescue the Tsar and his family, restore order, and prevent the Soviet nightmare from being born.
But by the time Allied support truly took shape—late 1918 into 1919—it was already too late. On July 17, 1918, Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, and their five children were executed in a cellar in Yekaterinburg—murdered by Bolsheviks who feared the advancing Whites might liberate them. The bodies were burned, disfigured, and buried in secret. When White forces finally reached the city, they were days too late.
So yes—there was an effort to save him. But it came after betrayal had already sealed the fate of an empire.
This is what happens when evil moves quickly, and good reacts slowly. This is what happens when treaties with liars are trusted instead of resisted. And perhaps worst of all, it was a betrayal not just of Russia’s monarch, but of a family of monarchs—Queen Victoria’s grandchildren, who all held power, and yet did nothing in time. Maybe because by then, even the crowns had grown weary of defending old values. The new world they were helping to build—whether through war or welfare—was less about thrones and more about Fabian ideology and bureaucratic control.
Victoria’s grandchildren abandoned the majesty of moral order for ideologies—some wore uniforms, some wore suits, but many began to act like Fabian socialists with fangs. The Fabians in Britain pushed for slow, bureaucratic takeover. The Bolsheviks didn’t wait. But both wanted the same thing: a man-made utopia, ruled from above, without God or gospel.
“Mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted... hath lifted up his heel against me.” — Psalm 41:9
And just like that, the Romanovs were gone. Their deaths opened the door for Lenin’s Russia to become Stalin’s Soviet Union—and for the rest of the world to fall into a Cold War trap that still haunts us today. And it all started with betrayal. Georgia believed the lie. And the world paid the price.
When the World Was Ruled by German Cousins
There was a time, not so long ago, when three German cousins ruled most of the known world. The British Empire, the Russian Empire, and the German Empire—each led by grandsons of Queen Victoria[4], each fluent in German, and each raised in palaces built by the same web of aristocracy and finance.
And yet, for all their power and family ties, they couldn’t preserve peace. They couldn’t save the world from war. In fact, it was their pride, suspicion, and worldliness that helped bring the entire structure down. The House of Romanov was slaughtered in a basement. The House of Hohenzollern collapsed in defeat. And the House of Windsor survived by changing its name and outsourcing its sovereignty.
But this is what happens to kingdoms without the true King. Whether they wear crowns or wave banners, whether they claim divine right or democratic mandate—if they reject the Lord’s Christ, they will fall. Their treaties will fail. Their armies will fail. Their revolutions will fail.
“The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.” — Psalm 33:10
The Final Empire and the Coming King
And yet, all of this—the betrayals, the wars, the empires—are just a prelude to something greater and more terrible. For the world is not done with its towers of Babel. One more kingdom is rising, and it will dwarf all that came before it. The prophet Daniel saw it. John saw it. And Christ warned of it.
The Antichrist’s empire will be global, digital, and total. It won’t need family trees or royal blood—it will be powered by surveillance, deception, and spiritual darkness. But like all the rest, it will be a kingdom without the true King. A throne built on sand. And it too will fall.
But before it does, there will come a time unlike any other: Jacob’s Trouble[5]—a time of purging, tribulation, and testing for Israel and for all the world. And in that hour, there will be no more backroom betrayals, no more hidden treaties, no more Masonic cloaks and Vatican daggers.
Revelation will be just that—revelation. Every eye shall see. The Son of Man will appear in glory. The Lamb that was slain will come as the Lion who reigns. And the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him…” — Revelation 1:7[6]
Not in secret. Not negotiated by Illuminists or traitorous Vicars. Not through compromise or council vote. But by fire, by glory, and by truth.
The King is coming.
You have a choice you can trust a Communist to be Communist
Or
You can Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and Be Saved!
