Communism Remains

“I am talking about the Communism of Leon Trotsky that is based upon hatred for Christianity. Remember that Communism and Christianity can never live in the same atmosphere. Communism is older than Christianity. It is the curse of the ages. It hounded and persecuted the Savior during His earthly ministry, inspired His crucifixion, derided His dying agony, and then gambled for His garments at the foot of the cross; and has spent more than 1900 years trying to destroy Christianity and everything based on Christian principles. The alien minded communistic enemies of Christianity and their stooges are trying to get control of the press of this country… They are trying to take over the radio. Listen to their lying broadcasts in broken English and you can almost smell them. They are now trying to take over the Motion Picture industry, and howl to high heaven when our Committee on un-American Activities propose to investigate them. They want to spread their un-American propaganda, as well as their loathsome, lying, immoral, anti-Christian filth before the eyes of your children in every community in America.”

John Rankin (D) — Mississippi US Congressman
Chairman — House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC)
Speech on the floor of the US Congress — 1945

Was Rankin correct?

1.) Communism does indeed hate Christianity.

Communism embraces a Atheistic-Materialistic Worldview wherein the State is God and in the State man lives and moves and has his being.

2.) Communism and Christianity indeed can’t live in the same atmosphere.

Wherever either of these exist in their purer forms they will always push out the other. Christianity, when it is faithful will destroy Communism and Communism where it is faithful will destroy Christianity. Neither will allow the presence of the other for where the other is allowed to exist it threatens the very existence of the other.

3.) Communism was largely and disproportionately populated by the descendants of that Edomite / Khazar tribe who persecuted Christ.

This is not disputable though it is typically a PC sin to notice this fact.

4.) Communists did get control and retain control of our press.

From yester-years Edward R. Murrow, to Walter Cronkite to today’s Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon our Lugenpresse is controlled either by closet Communists or fellow travelers. The Worldview of the Lugenpresse is Atheistic-Materialism.

5.) Communists did take over motion pictures and have retained control.

“Of all the Arts, for us the cinema is the most important.”

Vladimir Lenin

The Hollywood 10 really existed and were merely the tip of the iceberg of the Communist problem in Hollywood. When you view a Hollywood film you should just assume that you will be being served up some kind of Marxist egalitarian atheistic materialistic pablum.

The following linked video provides explicit connections between Communism and Hollywood. Do not view this video if four letter words trouble you.

6.) Communists have corrupted our children.

The Government schools as Institutions catechize our children in to the atheistic-Materialistic worldview.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him. View all posts by jetbrane
