Dr. Michael Buhagiar reviews Arthur Koestler’s 1976 book The Thirteenth Tribe – The Khazar Empire and its Heritage

‘In Khazaria, sheep, honey, and Jews exist in large quantities.’
– Mugaddasi, Descriptio Imperii Moslemici (tenth century)… the Khazarians did not practice authentic Judaism, but rather Babylonian Talmudism, which featured child sacrifice and other bloody Babylonian rituals.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), seventh leader of the Chabad-Lubovitch dynasty, considered the most violent and destructive branch of Jewry, is described by chabad.org as ‘the one individual more than any other singularly responsible for stirring the conscience and spiritual awakening of world Jewry.’ There is a famous photo (Fig. 1) of a young Bill Gates worshipping at his feet.

Schneerson in a speech in 1994 had this to say about Ukraine and the Khazarians:
“Slav, Russian, can be destroyed, but never conquered. That is why this seed is subject to liquidation, and, at first, a sharp reduction in their numbers … Looking back in history, it must be admitted that these lands are the ancient ancestral lands of the Jewish Khazaria, that is Israel, captured by Kiev’s Rus [the ancient state of Russia with the capital in Kiev] in the tenth century. The Slavs are temporary guests on these lands and are subject to eviction. We will return this territory, and build the Great Khazaria – the Jewish state – on these fertile lands the same way as, 50 years ago, we created Israel, squeezing the Palestinians out. Israelis will partially relocate here, and we will drive Slavic cattle out far to the north, beyond Moscow. There will be a small Northern Territory, a reservation with a compact population — a reservation, like Indian reservations in America.” – Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson
This quote draws together four key themes of the contemporary mayhem:
- the identification by many commentators of Ukraine as the head of the NWO snake
- the planned mutual destruction of Israel and the Islamic lands, as described in the letter from the 33 degree Freemason Albert Pike to the Illuminist leader Giuseppe Mazzini in 2871, with the relocation of the Israeli survivors to Ukraine
- the press-ganging of Ukrainian civilians, including the old, the young, and women, into the Ukranian army to be sent to almost certain deaths against Russia, arguably for the purpose of depopulation of the native population, to make room for the later arrivals
- the development of bioweapons in Ukrainian laboratories, so Russia has argued, specifically targeted against the Slavic races — this was the most important justification for the Special Military Operation
‘The Deep State is panicking’ often seems to me to be mere wishful thinking. However, there is indeed arguably a note of desperation in Nathaniel Rothschild’s recent letter (Nov 2023) to the UK parliament (this has been fact-checked as fake, so is highly likely to be authentic):
“Vladimir Putin is the most dangerous man since the defeat of Hitler, with Xi Jinping a close second … Ukraine is an essential piece that we cannot afford to lose, in the geopolitical chessboard …Russia must be excised from the international banking and economic system. We must bring Russia to its knees through any means possible, to send a strong signal to the Chinese and to protect our global system of norms and liberal values … if we allow Vladimir Putin to seize Ukraine, it will send a signal to our enemies, Iran, China and North Korea especially, that we will do nothing when faced with an onslaught of force.” – Nathaniel Rothschild, November 2023
Notable here are the chilling threat of ‘by any means possible’; the staggering hypocrisy of Rothschild’s reference to ‘liberal values’; and the confirmation of the alliance of Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. What then is the validity of the Khazarians’ identity as Jews, and of their claims to a Ukrainian homeland? Arthur Koestler goes a long way towards answering these questions in his very well-researched and readable book The Thirteenth Tribe.
Let us cut to the scene of the Khazars’ famous conversion to Judaism around 740 CE: The Khazars’ homeland at that time was the territory north of the Caucasus between the Black and Caspian Seas, which included, yes, the modern Ukraine; and to that extent Rabbi Schneerson’s claim may be justified. After the defeat of the Persian Empire by the swarming Muslim ascendancy in 651 CE, the eastern world was dominated by the the three great powers of Islam, the Holy Roman Empire, and Khazaria (Fig. 2), which was an ally and adversary of the former two at different times.

The esteem in which Khazaria was held is indicated by the story of the three gold seals, which Koestler relates:
The Byzantine Emperor and historian, Constantine Porphyrogenitus (913- 959) … recorded in his treatise on court protocol. that letters addressed to the Pope in Rome, and similarly those to the Emperor of the West, had a gold seal worth two solidi attached to them, whereas messages to the King of the Khazars displayed a seal worth three solidi. This was not flattery, but Realpolitik.
Koestler judges the Khazarians to have had a profound effect on mediaeval and consequently modern Europe. And yet, compared to the cultures of Islam and Christianity, they were primitives, and they knew it. Their shamanism was outdated compared to the great monotheistic creeds, and gave their Kagan (king) little spiritual or legal authority compared to the Caliph and Holy Roman Emperor. (We may note in passing that the married name of Victoria Nuland, who directed the Maidan revolution in Ukraine in 2014, is Kagan; and there is a Kagan – the Obama-nominated Elena Kagan – on the Supreme Court of the United States). Yet to convert to Islam or Christianity would have meant for the Khazarians submission to a foreign authority. Conversion to Judaism then was the natural course to follow. The obvious point, which has profound implications for our understanding of the current situation, is that the Khazarians, originally of Turkic descent, and now globally the most numerous variety of Jews, are not of the seed of Abraham, not at all sons of Shem, but sons of Japheth. The pejorative term ‘anti-semitic,’ which the Anti-Defamation League and its media and political eunuchs hurl at any critic of the Israel-Ukraine project (of which the H word, 9/11 and Covid frauds are major tactics), is therefore vacuous and inane. The above reasoning applies equally as well to the Khazarian-derived Ashkenazi.
Leo Zagami argues that the Khazarians did not practice authentic Judaism, but rather Babylonian Talmudism, which featured child sacrifice and other bloody Babylonian rituals. Koestler does not go there, but argues that their form of Judaism was close to that of the heretical Karaites sect, which abjured rabbinical teachings and the Talmud. That the Khazarians did not practice traditional Judaism seems likely. In this vein, Koestler refers to an eleventh century Hebrew Karaite author, who explained the word mamzer, ‘bastard,’ by giving the example of the Khazars, who became Jews without belonging to the race. Zagami, several of whose books I have reviewed, is a highly expert scholar of the occult, and it seems likely that there was a line of transmission from the Khazars through the Sabbatean Frankists, those masters of destruction, to the murderous Illuminati and then the Marxist Communists, and finally the Zionists, the tragic results of whose attempted engineering of a World War III we are now witnessing. That the Zionists, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, have never practiced Judiasm, but rather Luciferianism, must now be considered beyond dispute.
Orthodox scholars state that the Khazars lost their lands and independence after their defeat by the Russians in 965 CE. Koestler argues, however, that they retained their empire and independence but within narrower limits, and continued to practice their faith until their overthrow by the Genghis Kahn and the Mongols in the mid-thirteenth century. Before and after this cataclysmic event they sent offshoots into the surrounding lands, and for Koestler, ‘Here, then, we have the cradle of the numerically strongest and culturally dominant part of modern Jewry.’ This is of course contested by scholars who would like to relegate the Khazarians to secondary importance, but Koestler argues compellingly to the contrary. The scholar-eunuchs agree that Khazars migrated westward into Poland, Lithuania and Germany after the Mongol victory, but maintain that they were in the minority compared to the semitics who migrated eastward from France and the Rhineland.
Koestler well describes the confusion that ignorance of Khazar history brought to scholars of the European Jews:
Yet east of the Rhine, in central and northern Germany, there were as yet no Jewish communities at all, and none for a long time to come. The traditional conception of Jewish historians that the Crusade of 1096 swept like a broom a mass-migration of German Jews into Poland is simply a legend – or rather an ad hoc hypothesis invented because, as they knew little of Khazar history, they could see no other way to account for the emergence, out of nowhere, of this unprecedented concentration of Jews in Eastern Europe. Yet there is not a single mention in the contemporary sources of any migration, large or small, from the Rhineland further east into Germany, not to mention distant Poland.
Linguistics provides evidence supportive of Koestler’s thesis. Yiddish, an amalgam of Hebrew, mediaeval German, Slavonic, and other influences, and the popular language of the Jewish masses, is moribund now, but was widely spoken before WWII in Germany, the United States, especially New York, and elsewhere. Some words have crept into mainstream English, for example scheister, chutzpah, klutz, schmooze, schmuck. The Three Stooges lapsed into Yiddish at different times in their movies :). Here is the critical evidence, as argued by the Khazar scholar Mieses:
No linguistic components derived from the parts of Germany bordering on France are found in the Yiddish language. Not a single word from the entire list of specifically Moselle-Franconian origin compiled by A. Ballas (Beitrage zur Kunntnis der Trierischen Volkssprache, 1903, 28ff.) has found its way into the Yiddish vocabulary. Even the more central regions of Western Germany, around Frankfurt, have not contributed to the Yiddish language…. Insofar as the origins of Yiddish are concerned, Western Germany can be written off….Could it be that the generally accepted view, according to which the German Jews once upon a time immigrated from France across the Rhine, is misconceived? The history of the German Jews, of Ashkenazi Jewry, must be revised. The errors of history are often rectified by linguistic research. The conventional view of the erstwhile immigration of Ashkenazi Jews from France belongs to the category of historic errors which are awaiting correction.
This is not what the Zionists want to hear, as it destroys the power of their ’anti-semitism’ trope. David Icke regards the Zionist deception as the greatest of all time. I disagree, I believe the H word fraud deserves that honour. But it’s a close contest. To recap the summary of H word fraud evidence from my last review: Yes, a great many people died in the camps, but the main cause of death was typhus, which had been exacerbated by the destruction of supply chains by the Allies’ carpet bombing of Germany. The camps were indeed labour camps, constructed by IG Farben and other global industrialists to provide labour for their factories. The sign Arbeit Macht Frei (Work Makes Free) on the gates of Auschwitz had a purpose, but it was not to fool the passengers on the trains. Zyklon B was indeed a disinfectant, as we know from its use on new arrivals in America in the 1920s, who were made to undress, sprayed with Zyklon B and showered, and then given their now fumigated clothes back, and were free to enter the country. Contemporary almanacs state that there were approximately the same number of Jews in the world (15 million) before and after the war. The famous Auschwitz chimney is not connected to any building or structure. It is fake, like the H word story itself.
We have noted in previous reviews the determinative influence of the Ashkenazim Jacob Schiff, Edward Mandell House, and Bernard Baruch, on the revolutions and wars of the twentieth century. The Zionists play a long game. I believe that when constructing the labour camps they may have already been looking forward to the H word fraud. Netanyahu, Zionist Chief Operating Officer, is almost certainly miles underground in a bunker somewhere watching the long planned Hamas-Israel conflict unfold, but maybe not with complete satisfaction. If Nathaniel Rothschild’s letter is genuine, as I believe it is, then for once I believe that, yes, the Deep State may be panicking.
End of book review.
The “Deep State”, which is Satan’s government and agencies, are in full awareness that very soon Jesus Christ will remove His Church and once that occurs, they will have less than seven years to try to subvert and trap as many souls as they can before Jesus the Christ returns to destroy the earth with fire and cast Lucifer and all aligned with him into the lake of Fire, which is quite possibly a Black Hole.
That’s why the Deep State is panicking. – LRLB

From 2018: https://eatingtoascend.com/2018/07/26/khazarian-mafias-system-of-cartels-to-subjugate-entire-planet/
All the evils in our society today can be traced back to the biggest crime syndicate that had its roots in the old Khazarian Empire.
The rogue phallus-worshiping Khazarian Empire may have been destroyed, but they did not disappear completely.
Over several centuries, the Khazarians have morphed into different nationalities, cultures and religions on the surface, but they have never forgotten who they were before today.
In order to achieve their grand plan of totalitarian control via One World Government, now upgraded to AI-based Global Technocratic Dictatorship, the core group Khazarian Mafia established an elaborate pyramid of cartels which covers every facet of our existence, creating a false sense of reality.
Here’s a good summary from Preston James about how this grand plan is in the process of being achieved …
A brief list of the various interlocked Cartels that the Khazarian Mafia has created that control America and have been placed under the control of the Establishment Hierarchy, (and not necessarily in the order of importance).
End of the hegemony of the Petrodollar system?
Each of these Cartels is organized into a large system best referred to as the Hierarchy, and the several wrinkled-up old men in wheelchairs that control it are called the “Select Few” by insiders.
- The Money Cartel aka the Federal Reserve System, a fraudulent illegal unConstitutional system that prints fake money debt-notes instead of real Gold or Silver Certificates. This is the epitome of RICO crime and fraud. Of course there is no statute of limitations on fraud, and all assets illegally asset stripped can be clawed back some day using the US military, if necessary.
- The Energy Cartel aka the Petro Cartel which has provided the linchpin of the US Petro Dollar.
- The Knowledge Cartel aka the US Educational system including public schools, private and public universities. Rigid controls have been imposed which prevent free thought and investigation or teaching about certain forbidden subjects like the Federal Reserve System or all the secretly run illegal, unConstitutional practices of the Establishment Hierarchy.
- The Military and Intel Cartel which has served as the World’s policemen and used American Soldiers as disposable cannon-fodder. This itself is one of the most sinister crimes against America and is a well-planned attempt to destroy Goyim men and prevent them from defending America from the KM’s “final solution” and final revenge for ever leaving England which is the mass-murder of 90% of all Americans, a repeat of what they did in Russian in 1917 and China in 1945.
- The Judiciary, Corrections and Police Cartel which is used to run interference and cover-ups for the Establishment Hierarchy. It is staffed by mostly Israeli-American “Israeli-first” Dual Citizens and ex-Jag Officers who serve the Establishment Hierarchy no matter what.
- The Big Medicine Cartel. Controls all medical schools, all medical, dental and nursing degrees, the CDC, the FDC and all USG health policies. Like all other Establishment Hierarchy Cartels it serves the Hierarchy’s needs and serves up limited truth about all health problems and is oriented to making people sick in order to gain maximum profits and control of the masses by weakening them and asset stripping them.
- The Big Pharma Cartel. This cartel has been designed to work closely with the Big Medicine Cartel in a symbiotic arrangement where each feeds the other and increases business for each other. This is a sinister result of what good be an asset to Americans that has turned bad, becoming a tool to gain major profits at the expense of the health and financial well-being of Americans.
- The Agricultural Cartel. This cartel has been created by infiltrating and hijacking corporations that buy, broker and process grains and produce. It is associated with the banks in various financing schemes designed to result in the loss of family farms to become part of large corporate farms.
- The Major Mass Media Cartel. This is best described as the Controlled Major Mass Media (CMMM). It uses an American Intel proprietary to vet every single story carried by the six networks which actually function as a virtual and illegal Monopoly. This KM proprietary is a major Investment House that claims to be on the Vanguard of progressive investments.
- The Entertainment Cartel. This is based on the sophisticated mind-kontrol served up by Hollywood and the Television networks and movie theaters. It controls the culture, values and mores of the American group mind and and keeps the massed sedated and satiated. When folks experience frequent “shoot em up” action scenario’s sitting in front of large screen TVs and in movie theaters and frequently see the impossible, this satiates their expectations and exhausts their motivation to actually change society for the better. Many have become so “programmed” mentally by the TV and movies that they have trouble distinguishing between fantasy and reality and easily accept their mind-kontrolled state.
- The Bread and Circuses Cartel. This is Big Sports designed to keep the masses appeased so they don’t have time to become concerned about how the Establishment is ripping them off at every level nor any inclination to be motivated to stop them from doing so. Much of the violence and filth in America can be directly attributed to this powerful mind-kontrol system which operates by the power of 60 HZ conditioned susceptibility, hypnosis for many. Hollywood superstars are paid big money because what they do is important to the Establishment Hierarchy, in terms of mind-kontrolling the American masses and much of the world.
- The Religious Cartel. Sad to say that the KM has infiltrated and hijacked almost every major religion in the World, including the Vatican and Catholicism, Lutheranism and all the rest. The illegal, unConstitutional 501-3C tax exempt status regulation for churches has kept them in line and restricted them from getting involved in politics or preaching much truth related to evil in the highest echelons of their own governments, local, state and federal.
- The Secret Society Cartel. The KM has established a worldwide network of secret occult-based societies which form the secret associations that control almost every major US Institution from the top echelons. This network is closely associated with Intel groups and actually has been secretly deputized as agents of national security which gives them immunity from any prosecution. This Cartel uses various occult groups in its network such as satanic cults like the Process to do its dirty work, often assassinations, gang-stalking, secret break-ins and other crimes for the Intel Agencies who want distance and deniability. There are cases where certain occult members who have embarked on missions to assassinate targeted individuals who have been clipped by a well-trained intended target and these incidents never get into the light of day for what really happened. As more and more Americans are becoming armed under the new concealed carry “shall issue” laws, it is not so easy anymore for these occult groups to assassinate targeted individuals without getting clipped in the process.
- The Government and Politics Cartel. This involves a coordinated system that controls all government in America, local, state and federal. Various manipulations are used to bring conformity to the wishes and edicts of the Establishment Hierarchy such as political favors, bribery, human compromise and even harassment, threats and assassinations often disguised as medical illnesses.
- The Arms Cartel. This is one of the biggest money makers for the wealthy KM families that own large blocks of stock in these defense contractors, especially those with no-bid contracts which are also involved in kidnapping and sex-slavery. War is extreme profitable for the FRS Banks and these KM investor Families. And that is why the Hierarchy pulls so many strings to hire mercenaries to conduct Gladio-style, inside-job false-flag attacks in order to start illegal, unConstitutional, unprovoked, undeclared, unwinnable, perpetual foreign wars. Because the Russian Republic has checkmated this war-making process in the Mideast, it is likely that the KM is planning on transforming America into a large GAZA II war-zone and eventually into the World’s largest open-aired prison camp while they complete their goal to depopulate America by 90%.
- The Narcotics Cartel. This is the most lucrative KM Cartel in America of all, next to the Money Cartel, which is the “head of the snake”. Retired DEA officials have privately spoken out and claimed that most of the large Wall Street banks would go under in a month unless they could launder the vast fortunes obtained from the Establishments with their international drug trafficking, especially into America. The richest, top Establishment Hierarchy (KM) families who are in the upper crust dress with the most expensive clothes, live in big mansions, and attend charity events and give token amounts from their vast tax exempt charitable foundations pretending to be caring folks, when they are actually the most two-faced and evil of all, and directly gain from the enormous drug cartel profits which they hid in these tax exempt foundations and draw money out as long term loans and “operating expenses”. This vast illegal drug income is split with the Intel agencies, who use it for black ops money and personal gain.

Having organized and occupied critical centers of global power, as stipulated above, gave them the opportunity to rewrote everybody’s history books to prevent us from retracing their sordid past.
This humongous closely guarded secret is their Achilles Heel, and the massive expose about their true history will crash their empire down.
We are all, therefore, cordially invited to join the global resistance and are all enjoined to take action within our means.
