NY banker Jacob Schiff ordered the hit on the Russian Tsar and his family, funded Bolshevik Revolutions and founded the ADL to shield the Rothschild banking cartel's plot to take over the world.

This is why it's often confusing to designate any single country as "the bad guys" when it's usually the central bankers operating out of many different countries and attempting to subvert all nations with Communism.

In the Bolshevik Revolution we have some of the world's richest and most powerful men financing a movement which claims its very existence is based on the concept of stripping of their wealth, men like the Rothschids, Rockefellers, Schiffs, Warburgs, Morgans, Harrimans, and Milners. But obviously these men have no fear of international Communism. It is only logical to assume that if they financed it and do not fear it, it must be because they control it.

Going further back before the Illuminati seems to be the Alumbrado's of Spain who then founded the Jesuits to subvert Rome, along with the Sabbatean-Frankists which is where that quote came from, Sepehr's book 1666:Redemption through Sin.
