The late Father Malachi Martin was a renown exorcist and Jesuit, a one-time advisor to three Popes, and best-selling author. As a member of the Vatican Intelligence Network, under Pope John the 23rd, Martin helped extend the Church into Iron Curtain countries.
In 1964, concerned about the corrupting influences of power, Martin was released from his vows of poverty and obedience after 25 years as a Jesuit.
He left Rome for New York, where he did odd jobs until a Guggenheim Fellowship enabled him to write his first bestseller, Hostage to the Devil.
As someone who has always been very sensitive to social injustices and someone who has learned a thing or two in their 64 years, studied history and understands the language behind the rhetoric I wish to comment on this.
I have never been and never will be part of the Right and a lot of the language and assumptions still leave me cold.
However, when I saw the tweet below from an academic at Cambridge University I could see as clearly as night and day that there is a very dangerous movement to attack religious people and people who are conservative-minded and white.
Here is the tweet:
"Now we have the opportunity to carry out a resolute offensive against the whites, break their resistance, eliminate them as a class and replace their livelihoods with the livelihoods with the livelihoods of people of colour and LBGTQ.
First, who IS Priyamvada Patel?
The first thing I discovered that her twitter account has been made secret and the more I learn the more I can understand why.
Because of earlier involvements in left-wing movements I understand the language and what it REALLY means.
The Jacobin Revolution of 1789 in France had its reign of terror and Karl Marx in the 19th Century was in favour.
“There is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terrorism.”
– Karl Marx, “The Victory of the Counter-Revolution in Vienna”, Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Nov. 7, 1848.
Stalin followed by "eliminating the kulaks as a class" using even more extreme tactics and this was followed by Mao, Pol Pot and just about every communist movement since.
Let's see what Lenin and Trotsky had to say about this:
“We would be deceiving both ourselves and the people if we concealed from the masses the necessity of a desperate, bloody war of extermination, as the
immediate task of the coming revolutionary action.”
– V.I. Lenin, “Lessons of the Moscow Uprising”, Proletary, No.2, 29 August 1906.
“For us, we were never concerned with the Kantian-priestly and vegetarian-Quaker prattle about the ‘sacredness of human life’.
– Leon Trotsky, Terror and Communism 1920 (Toned-down for the Western audiences as Dictatorship Versus Democracy, Workers Party of America, 1922, p.63.)
This, also, has to be taken into account. Every revolution needs its "useful idiots"and ends up eating its own children.
The tactics of BLM and Antifa
This young woman qualifies as "useful idiot"
She is telling people how to break the windscreens of cars and drag the occupants out.
How this rhetoric can be seen as "peaceful" is beyond me.
Because she is a public representative and presumably took an oath to defend the US consitution this could easily be construed as sedition.
Here are some more quotes from the fathers of insurrection and revolution.
The Exercise of Political Power
"Political power ... is merely the organized power of one [socio-economic] class for oppressing the other."
From Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto. Cited in E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 46.
On the Need for Terror
"[The working class] must act in such a manner that the revolutionary excitement does not collapse immediately after the victory. On the contrary, they must maintain it as long as possible. Far from opposing so-called excesses, such as sacrificing to popular revenge of hated individuals or public buildings to which hateful memories are attached, such deeds must not only be tolerated, but their direction must be taken in hand, for examples' sake."
From Karl Marx, Address to the Communist League (1850). Cited in E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 66 or 135ff.
On the Need to Use Force
"Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can only be attained by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions (e.g. bourgeois democracy)."
From Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto, conclusion.
"The Communists support everywhere every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order (e.g. including in established democracies)."
From Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto, conclusion.
"The immediate aim of the Communists is the ... conquest of political power by the proletariat."
From Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto. Cited in E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 37.
"From the first moment of victory, we must no longer direct our distrust against the beaten reactionary enemy, but against our former allies (i.e., democratic forces)."
"The arming of the whole proletariat with rifles, guns, and ammunition should be carried out at once [and] the workers must ... organize themselves into an independent guard, with their own chiefs and general staff. ... [The aim is] that the bourgeois democratic Government not only immediately loses all backing among the workers, but from the commencement finds itself under the supervision and threats of authorities behind whom stands the entire mass of the working class. ...As soon as the new Government is established they will commence to fight the workers. In order that this party (i.e., the democrats) whose betrayal of the workers will begin with the first hour of victory, should be frustrated in its nefarious work, it is necessary to organize and arm the proletariat."
From Karl Marx, Address to the Communist League (1850). Cited in E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 67.
On Disdain for Democracy:
"Democracy is of great importance for the working class in its struggle for freedom against the capitalists. But democracy is by no means a limit one may not overstep; it is only one of the stages in the course of development from feudalism to capitalism, and from capitalism, to communism."
From Karl Marx, The State and Revolution, p. 77. Cited in E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 756.
On Marxist "Democracy" and the Goal of Revolution:
"The proletarian movement is the self-conscious independent movement of the immense majority, in the interest of the immense majority."
From Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto. Cited in E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 35.
On the Purpose of the State:
"In reality the state is nothing more than a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and this holds for a democratic republic no less than for a monarchy."
From Friedrich Engels, Introduction to Karl Marx, Civil War in France (London: Martin Lawrence, 1933), p. 19. Also see E. Burns (ed.), A Handbook of Marxism (1935), p. 45.
On Moral Relativism as Linked to the Historical Evolution of the Class Struggle:
"What morality is preached to us to-day? There is first Christian-feudal morality, inherited from past centuries ... alongside [this] we find the modern bourgeois morality, and with it, too, the proletarian morality of the future."
From Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto. Cited in E. Burns, ed., A Handbook of Marxism (1935), pp. 247f
I have dropped everything for almost 2 months to try and warn people what I and others have been warning of. Now that the corrupt WHO has declared a global pandemic the whole narrative has changed on a dime as I and others have warned. With the news yesterday I finally had a crisis and meltdown and reached the end of the day feeling that something had broken in me. I simply don't know how much I have within me to carry that function on. I don't see the need any more to bring the daily headlines - it is becoming harder and harder to do that, so I will be concentrating on finding those things that you will not hear anywhere in the mass media.
In this time of trouble TruNews has been a great comfort to me and that is not because I am a born-again Christian (I am not) but because they are delivering a message that is sorely needed in today's world - that we need to look to a Power that is greater than the most powerful leader on the planet and look beyond just our own narrow desires. Call it God's Will or the Law of Karma but I strongly believe that it is too late for those who have not found their own Inner Peace or, as the Christians would say, got right with God. It is time to PREPARE, not to hoard, but to SHARE. It is time to hunker down and wait for the storm to pass. These words from the Old Testament resonate with me. It is also not a time for mocking those who do not agree with you or for finger-pointed. We are all humans and in this together. Yesterday's TruNew show is HERE
Here are a few of the headlines for today. I am not providing links. You can do that for yourself by simply entering the text of the headline into Google.
Nobody
who thinks this is OK could ever be a friend of mine.
To
think that people survived 70 years of militant
Bolshevikatheism
only to encounter this!
Revisionism in the Holy Bible
I
am not a traditional Christian, nor born-again but when I read this I
know Satan is walking amongst us.
This
came as a text from a young friend who is a Christian and highly
vulnerable due to a head injury from a car accident that was not his
fault.
His
one point of stability is his Bible:
"I
bought a new Bible just a few days ago and it was totally different
compared to the my original. Words and paragraphs have all been
changed " I was vaguely aware of this but never expected to have testimony of this from someone in my social circles
A
British doctor has warned that a dangerous precedent has been set
after a tribunal ruled that he was rightfully terminated for refusing
to use transgender pronouns, and that his Christian values clash with
those of UK society.
Dr.
David Mackereth was fired from his job at the Department for Work and
Pensions (DWP) after telling his manager that in a hypothetical
scenario, he would never “call
any 6-foot tall bearded man madam.”
The
case was brought before a Birmingham employment tribunal, which said
in its ruling that the government department had every right to sack
Mackereth, and that the doctor’s biblical beliefs have no place in
British society.
Belief
in Genesis 1:27, lack of belief in transgenderism and conscientious
objection to transgenderism in our judgment are incompatible
with human dignity and conflict with the fundamental rights of
others.
Mackereth
said that the ruling has profound and troubling implications for
freedom of speech and conscience in the UK.
The
question here is whether I can be forced to do something and to say
something that goes deeply against my conscience.
He
said that the judgment means that “you’re
not allowed not to believe the transgender movement’s
maxims,” while “core” Christian
beliefs have been labeled as unfit for modern life.
