3: Satan and Marx WorldwideI have written that Marxism is satanic. But is not every sin satanic by its very nature? Can there exist satanic and non-satanic sin? I pondered long about this. Then I had a dream one night that clarified my thinking. In my dream I saw a prostitute hooking young men who were just leaving church. I asked her, ‘Why did you choose this particular place to work?’ She replied, ‘My delight is to lead young men into sin just as they come from worship. The Greek word for worship in the New Testament is proskun, which means etymologically “to kiss.” The worshipper stepping out of the house of prayer still has the imprint of Jesus’ kisses on his mouth. What a satisfaction to defile him just then, to make him wallow in the bed of lasciviousness and then say to him, “You see, Jesus to whom you prayed could not keep you from sin for even five minutes. He is not the Saviour. My master is more powerful than He.”’ Sexual impurity is a common human sin. But Mephistopheles asks Faust to seduce Gretchen just as she is walking to church with a prayer book in her hand. This is satanic. It is also satanic to plan the seduction of a clergyman and to perform the act in a church. To write, read, or view pornography is another common sin. But it is a characteristic of American pornography, which promotes incest, pederasty and perversions, that it is full of the names of God, Christ and Mary. With every obscenity there is a sacred word, with every ugly gesture a heavenly expression, to defile and profane the holy. This is satanic. To crucify the innocent is a very common sin. To crucify Jesus, the Son of God, between two thieves to suggest guilt by association is satanic. To kill political enemies, to make war and stir up revolution—even with mass killings—is human sinfulness. But the Russian Communists, after having killed millions of their enemies, turned their violence against their friends, including even their most illustrious comrades, the chief perpetrators of their revolution. This is the seal of Satanism. It is revolution not for attaining a goal, but revolution and killing for killing’s sake, what Marx called ‘the permanent revolution.’ Of 29 members and candidates in the Central Committee of the Soviet Communists in 1917, year of the revolution, only four had the good fortune to depart this life before being deprived of it. One of the four was posthumously declared ‘an enemy of the revolution.’ Thirteen were sentenced to death by their own comrades or disappeared. Two were so persecuted by Stalin that they committed suicide.101 To be a criminal or a mafiosi is a heinous human sin, but the satanic goes beyond even what the Mafia allows. Tomasso Buscetta, one of the representative figures of the Sicilian Mafia, who became a police informer and revealed the crimes of this organisation, said: ‘Crime is a necessity that one cannot avoid, but that always has a reason. With us gratuitous crime, which is an end in itself or the result of an individual impulse, is excluded. We exclude, for example, “transversal vendetta,” i.e., the calculated killing of someone near the target of our crime, such as a wife, children, or relatives.’ Satanic crime is of another order. Hitler killed millions of Jews, including babies, with the excuse that some Jews had done harm to the German people. For the Communists it was a matter of course to imprison and torture the family members of a person they considered guilty. When I was jailed, it was taken for granted that my wife must be jailed, too, and my son must be excluded from all schooling. Marxism is not an ordinary sinful human ideology. It is satanic in its manner of sinning, as it is satanic in the teachings it purveys. In certain circumstances, it openly avowed its satanic character. One can judge a teacher by his disciples. To give just one example: Consider this dictum of the painter Picasso: ‘An artist must discover the way to convince his public of the full truth of his lies.’102 Who was the man who wrote this monstrosity? It was the same one who wrote, ‘I came to Communism as one comes to a fountain ... My adherence to Communism is the logical consequence of my entire life and work.’103 One becomes a Marxist because his ideal is a lie. To gain an insight into the life and thinking of a key Satanist, one need only read a few mild excerpts from the writings of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), notorious for his involvement in occult practices: ‘Pity not the fallen. I never knew them. I console not. I hate the consoler and the consoled.’104 ‘The wolf betrays only the greedy and treacherous, the raven betrays only the melancholy and dishonest. But I am he of whom it is written: He shall deceive the very elect . . . ‘I have feasted myself on the blood of the saints, but I am not suspected of men to be their enemy, for my fleece is white and warm, for my teeth are not the teeth of one that tears flesh, and my eyes are mild, and they know me not as the chief of the lying spirits . . .’105 ‘Beautiful art thou, 0 Babylon, and desirable ... 0 Babylon, Babylon, thou mighty mother, that ride upon the crowned beasts, let me be drunken upon the wine of your fornication; let your kisses wanton me unto death.’106 Crowley quotes a multitude of sayings like this from completely unknown older Satanist works, unavailable to the uninitiated. Blasphemous Versions of the Lord’s PrayerThe Soviet newspaper Soviestskaia Molodioj, of 14 February 1976, adds a new and shattering proof of the connections between Marxism and Satanism. It describes how the militant Communists stormed churches and mocked God under the Czarist regime. For this purpose the Communists used a blasphemous version of the ‘Our Father’: Our father, which art in Petersburg The ultimate aim of Communism in conquering new countries is not to establish another social or economic system. It is to mock God and praise Satan. The German Socialist Student Union has also published a parody of the Lord’s Prayer, indicating that the ‘true’ meaning of the prayer upholds capitalism: Our Capital, which art in the West, The identification of Christianity with the interests of capitalism is outrageous. The church knows that capitalism, too, is stained with blood. Every economic system bears the marks of sin. Christians oppose Communism not from the viewpoint of capitalism but of the Kingdom of God, which is their social ideal. The above is nothing less than satanic mockery of the most holy prayer, just like the one published by the Soviets. Mockery of the Lord’s Prayer is customary in many Communist lands. Ethiopian children are taught to pray as follows: Our Party which rulest in the Soviet Union, Over the Lutheran radio station confiscated by the Communist government a Satanist version of the Bible is broadcast. 1 Corinthians 13 sounds like this: ‘Though I speak all the languages and have no enmity towards the landlords and capitalists, I have become as sounding brass ... Class hatred suffers no exploitation and is brutal. Class hatred envies their riches and vaunts itself with the successful revolutions in many Socialist states ... And now abide faith, hope, and class hatred, but the greatest of these is revolutionist hatred.’ During the general strike organised by the French Communists in 1974, workers were called to march in the streets of Paris shouting the slogan, ‘Giscard d’Estaing est foutu, Les demons sont dans la rue!’ (Giscard de’Estaing [the French president] is done with. Demons are now in the street.) Why ‘demons’? Why not ‘the proletariat’ or ‘the people’? Why this evocation of satanic forces? What has this to do with the legitimate demands of the working class to have better salaries? Deification of Communist LeadersCommunist leaders have been and are deified. Listen to the following poem honouring Stalin in Pravda (Moscow, 10 March, 1939; Pravda is the central organ of the Communist Party in the U.S.S.R.): The sun shines mildly and who would not know that you are this sun? Thousands of such poems have been composed. Here is another hymn to Stalin of extraordinary fervour and beauty, reminding one of Eastern Byzantine Christianity in the fourth and following centuries: 0 great Stalin, 0 leader of the peoples, The foregoing hymn was published in Pravda in August 1936. In May of 1935 the same official Party newspaper had published the following extraordinary effusion: He commands the sun of the enemies to set. A much later composition by a leading Soviet poet shows development in style but hardly in subject matter: I would have compared him to a white mountain—but the mountain has a summit. I would have compared him to the depths of the sea—but the sea has a bottom. I would have compared him to the shining moon—but the moon shines at midnight, not at noon. I would have compared him to the brilliant sun—but the sun radiates at noon, not at midnight. Mao-Tse-Tung has been hailed as the one ‘Whose mind created the world.’ Kim-Il-Sung, dictator of North Korea, is also deified, as is Nicolaie Ceaushescu, Communist dictator of Romania. Ceaushescu is another Satanist figure. He is the object of a personality cult and is likened to Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Pericles, Cromwell, Napoleon, Peter the Great, Abraham. This distinguished roster, it seems, is not enough. So he is also called ‘Our lay God.’ Communist Romania, which does not allow international religious conventions, permitted a witches’ convention in the spring of 1979 in Curtea De Argesh. In Bucharest there is a museum containing gifts brought by the people to Ceaushescu. In it is a watercolour painted by a blind man, who regained his sight through a miracle. He attributes it to the fact that ‘he concentrated all his thoughts on the President, who not only can make the blind to see but can move the Carpathian mountains.’ Another portrayal shows Ceaushescu with King Vlad Tsepesh, who was known as ‘the vampire Dracula’ because he used to impale his adversaries. In similar fashion, Stalin magnified the personality of Czar Ivan the Terrible.109 The Little and the Big DevilsAccording to official Marxist doctrine, which as has been illustrated, is only a disguise, neither God nor the devil exists. Both are fancies. Because of this teaching, Christians are persecuted by the Communists. However, the Soviet newspaper Kommunisma Uzvara of April 1974 reports that many atheist circles have been created in Red Latvia’s schools. The name given the children in those circles from 4th through 6th grade is ‘Little Devils’, while 7th graders are called ‘Servants of the Devil.’ In another school 8th graders have the name ‘faithful Children of the Devil.’ At the meeting the children come clothed as devils, with horns and tails.110 Thus, it is forbidden to worship God, but devil worship is openly permitted and even encouraged among children of school age. This was the hidden objective of the Communists when they seized power in Russia. In Vietebsk (U.S.S.R.), Zoia Titova, member of the Communist youth organisation, was caught practising black magic. When her case was brought before the assembly of Communist youth, there was unanimous refusal to punish her, though members who decide to worship God are expelled. The Communists consider it wrong to believe in God. For this ‘crime,’ many children have been separated from their families and kept in special atheist boarding schools. Moreover, the Communists wanted to make Satan worshippers of church leaders. The Russian Orthodox priest Platonov, an anti-Jewish agitator, went over to the side of the Communists when they came to power in Russia. For this he was made a bishop and became a Judas who denounced members of his flock to the Secret Police, well knowing they would be persecuted. One day on a bus he met his sister Alexandra, an abbess who had been arrested many times, apparently with her brother’s knowledge. He asked her, ‘Why don’t you speak to me? Don’t you recognise your brother?’ She answered, ‘You ask why? Father and mother would turn over in their graves. You serve Satan.’ Though an official Orthodox bishop in the Soviets, he replied, ‘Perhaps I am Satan myself.’111 Pravoslavnaia Rus writes, ‘The Orthodox cathedral in Odessa, so much loved by the Odessites, became the meeting-place of Satanists soon after the Communists came to power ... They gathered also in Slobodka-Romano and in Count Tolstoi’s former home.’ Then follows a detailed account of Satanist masses said by deacon Serghei Mihailov, of the treacherous Living Church, an Orthodox branch established in connivance with the Communists. An attendant describes the Satanist mass as ‘a parody of the Christian liturgy, in which human blood is used for communion.’ These masses took place in the cathedral, before its main altar. Also in Odessa, a statue of Satan used to be exhibited in the Museum of the Atheists. It was called Bafomet. At night, Satanists would gather in the museum for prayer and chanting before the statue.112 Religious ObscenitiesIt might be understood that Communists would arrest priests and pastors as counter revolutionaries. But why were priests compelled by the Marxists in the Romanian prison of Piteshti to say the mass over excrement and urine? Why were Christians tortured to take communion with these as the elements? Why the obscene mockery of religion? Why did the Romanian Orthodox priest Roman Braga, whom I knew personally when he was a prisoner of the Communists, and who presently resides in the U.S.A., have his teeth knocked out one by one with an iron rod to make him blaspheme? The Communists had explained to him and others: ‘If we kill you Christians, you go to heaven. But we don’t want you to be crowned martyrs. You should curse God first and then go to hell.’ In the prison of Piteshti the Communists Would force a very religious prisoner to be ‘baptised’ daily by putting his head into the barrel in which his fellow-sufferers fulfilled their necessities, meanwhile obliging the other prisoners to sing the baptismal service. A theology student was forced to dress in white sheets (to imitate Christ’s robe), and a phallus made out of soap was hung around his neck with a string. Christians were beaten to insanity to make them kneel before such a mocking image of Christ. After they had kissed the soap, they had to recite part of the liturgy.113 Prisoners were compelled to take off their trousers and sit with their naked bottoms on open Bibles.114 Such blasphemous practices were perpetrated for at least two years with the full knowledge of the Party’s top leadership. What have these indignities to do with Socialism and the well-being of the proletariat? Are their anticapitalist slogans not merely pretexts for organising Satanic blasphemies and orgies? Marxists are supposed to be atheists who believe in neither heaven nor hell. In these extreme circumstances Marxism has lifted its atheistic mask to reveal its true face, which is Satanism. Communist persecution of religion might have a human explanation; the fury of this persecution beyond any reason can only be Satanic. In Romanian prisons and in the Soviet Union, nuns who would not deny their faith were raped anally and Baptist girls had oral sex enforced on them.115 Many died as martyrs. But the Communists were not satisfied with this. Through Luciferian techniques they made martyrs die blaspheming in the delirium provoked by paroxysms of torture. Only once in all his works did Marx ever write about torture. During his own lifetime, many of his followers were tortured by Russian Czarist authorities. Since Marx is usually described as a humanist, one would expect him to write with horror about this abominable practice. But his only comment was, ‘Torture alone has given rise to the most ingenious mechanical inventions and employed many honourable craftsmen in the production of the instruments.’116 Torture is productive, it produces inventions—this is all Marx had to say about the subject. No wonder Marxist governments have surpassed all others in torturing their opponents! In 1923, there were in the Soviet Union mock trials of God, in the presence of Trotsky and Lunatcharski,117 But such events do not belong only to the past. Satanist desecrations of Catholic churches have occurred in the 1970s in Upyna, Dotnuva, Zanaiciu, Kalvarija, Sede, etc., localities in Soviet Lithuania. The most recent about which we know happened in Alsedeai on 22 September 1980.118 In his book Psychiatric Hospital 14, Moscow, Georgi Fedotov tells of his conversation with the psychiatrist Dr. Vladimir Levitski about the Christian Argentov detained there. The physician says, ‘You are pulling your friend Eduard toward God and we toward the devil. So I’m using my rights as a psychiatrist to deny you and your friends access to him.’ The Christian Salu Daka Ndebele was interrogated by the Secret Police of Maputo, Communist Mozambique. The officer said to him, ‘We want to kill your God.’ He raised his gun toward the head of the prisoner and declared, ‘This is my God. With this I have the power of life and death. If your God comes here, I will shoot Him dead myself.’119 In Chiasso, Communist Angola, Communists slaughtered animals in the church and placed their heads on the altar and pulpit. A poster proclaimed, ‘These are the gods whom you adore.’ Pastor Aurelio Chicanha Saunge was killed, together with 150 parishioners.120 When the Catholic Lithuanian priest Eugene Vosikevic was killed, the Communists evidently performed a Satanist ritual, because his mouth was found to have been filled with bread.121 Vetchernaia Moskva, a Communist newspaper, let pass a Freudian slip of the pen: ‘We do not fight against believers and not even against clergymen. We fight against God to snatch believers from Him.’122 ‘The fight against God to snatch His believers is the only logical explanation for the Communist fight against religion. We do not wonder at these words in the Soviet newspaper. Marx had said it already in his book German Ideology. Calling God ‘the Absolute Spirit,’ as his teacher Hegel had done, he wrote, ‘We are concerned with a highly interesting question: the decomposition of the Absolute Spirit.’ It was not a fight against false belief in a nonexistent God that preoccupied him. He believed that God does exist and wanted to see this Absolute Spirit decompose, like many prisoners of the Communists who were made to rot in jail. In Albania, the priest Stephen Kurti was sentenced to death for having baptised one child. Baptisms must be performed in secret in Albania and North Korea. The prosecutor at the trial of Metropolitan Benjamin of Leningrad said, ‘The whole Orthodox church is a subversive organisation. Properly speaking, the entire church ought to be in prison.’ The only reason all Christians are not in jail in the Soviet Union is that the Communists are not quite powerful enough. But the will to destroy everything is there. Unrestrained by the Spirit of God and empowered by the forces of evil, they would destroy the whole earth, including themselves. In the Soviet Union baptisms can be officiated only after registration. Persons wishing to be baptised or have their child baptised must present their identity cards to the representative of the church board, who in turn must report them to the State authorities. The result is persecution. Kolkhozniks (workers on collective farms) have no identity cards and can therefore baptise their children only secretly.123 Many Protestant pastors have received prison sentences for baptising people. The Communist fight against baptism presupposes belief in its value for a soul. Religious people in Israel or Pakistan or Nepal oppose baptism in the name of their own religious outlook, because it is a Christian seal. But for atheists—as Communists declare themselves to be—baptism should mean just nothing. Supposedly it neither benefits nor harms the baptised. Why then do these Communists fight against baptism? It is because Communists ‘fight against God to snatch believers from Him.’ Their ideology is not really inspired by atheism. ‘Among other purposes’, said Lenin, ‘we created our party specifically for the fight against any religious deceiving of the people.’ More about the relationship between Marxism and the occult can be found in Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain,124 by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroder. It is highly significant that the Communist East is much more advanced than the West in research about the dark forces manipulated by Satan. Dr Eduard Naumov, member of the International Association of Parapsychologists, was arrested in Moscow. The Moscow physicist L. Regelsohn, a Hebrew-Christian who took his defence, tells us the reason for his arrest: Naumov endeavoured to keep the psychic sphere of life free from the domination of evil forces that used parapsychology as a new weapon only for the oppression of the human soul.125 In Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, etc., the Communist Party spends huge sums on secret investigation into this science. There is an Iron Curtain which does not allow the West to know anything about what happens in the twenty parapsychological institutes located in the Soviet Union. Komsomolskaia Pravda (Moscow) published a lengthy article about hypnotists who make people regress to past lives.’ For the induction process they use the following suggestions: ‘You descend into earth, deeper, even deeper. You and the earth become one ... You are deep in the earth. You are surrounded by thick darkness ... Around you is eternal night ... ‘Now we approach a spot of light far away ... nearer and nearer. We sneak through a small hole to the sky, leaving our own body deep in the earth ... We overcome the frontiers of time ... and we return to your past . . .’ In such articles the Soviets use intentional double talk. Aware that some might become frightened, they are purposefully reserved, claiming they only inform without agreeing. But what would readers think of an editor who reprinted provocative articles and lustful pictures endlessly from Playboy while claiming that he did not agree fully with what he was purveying to the public? Soviet writers say clearly that this ‘time machine’ is not science fiction. ‘Transpersonalism’ offers this voyage in time. In the Satanist black masses, all prayers are said from the end to the beginning, and the priestly robe is worn inside out. Inversion is the Satanist rule, which is applied even to the doctrine of reincarnation. Whereas Indian devotees are concerned about their future reincarnations and try to better themselves by obeying what they believe to be God’s commandments, the Satanists offer a return to former incarnations. They care nothing about a better future in eternity. Marxism as a ChurchJust as Satan came to Jesus with Bible verses, so Marx used texts of Scripture, with much distortion. Volume 2 of the Works of Marx and Engels opens with Jesus’ words to His disciples (John 6:63), as quoted by Marx in his book The Holy Family: ‘It is the spirit which gives life.’ Then we read: ‘Criticism [his criticism of all that exists] so loved the masses that it sent its only-begotten son [i.e., Marx], that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have a life of criticism. Criticism became masses and lived among us, and we saw its glory as the glory of the only-begotten Son of the Father. Criticism did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made itself of no reputation, taking the form of a bookbinder, and humbled itself up to nonsense yes, critical nonsense in foreign languages.’126 Those knowledgeable in Scripture will recognise this as a parody of Biblical verses. (John 3.16; 1:14; Philippians 2.6-8) Here again, Marx declares his own works to be ‘nonsense,’ as well as ‘swinish books.’ Marxism is a new religion. It uses Scripture. Its main work, The Capital by Marx, is called ‘the Bible of the working class.’ Marx considered himself ‘the Pope of Communism.’127 Communism ‘has the pride of infallibility.’128 All who oppose the Communist ‘creed’ (this expression is used by Engels129) are excommunicated. Marx wrote, ‘Bakunin should beware. Otherwise we will excommunicate him.’130 Those who died in the service of Marxism are feasted as ‘martyrs.’ Marxism has its sacraments: the solemn receptions in the toddlers’ organisation ‘the Children of October,’ the oaths given when received as ‘Pioneers,’ after which come the higher grades of initiation in the Komsomol and the Party. Confession is replaced with public self-criticism before the assembly of Party members. Marxism is a church. It has all the characteristics of a church. But its god is not named in its popular literature. In this book I have provided the proof that Satan is its god. It is strange that, though Marxism is clearly satanic, it is not seen as a threat by many churches in the free world. Some illuminating statistics are available. Seminary professors in the U.S.A. were asked, ‘Can an individual consistently be a good member of your denomination and adhere to Marxism?’ Below are the percentage figures of those who answered Yes:131 Episcopalian 68 Marx and DarwinWhat was the specific contribution of Marx to Satan’s plan for mankind? It was important. The Bible teaches that God created man in his own image. (Genesis 8:24) Up to the time of Marx, man continued to be considered as the ‘crown of creation.’ Marx was Satan’s chosen tool to make man lose his self-esteem, his conviction that he comes from high places and is meant to return to them. Marxism is the first systematic and detailed philosophy which reduces abruptly the notion of man. According to Marx, man is primarily a belly which has to be constantly filled and refilled. The prevailing interests of man are economic in nature. He produces in order to satisfy his needs. For this purpose he enters into social relationships with other men. This is the basis of society, what Marx calls ‘infrastructure.’ Marriage, love, art, science, religion, philosophy, everything other than the needs of the belly, are all ‘superstructure’, determined in the last analysis by the state of the belly. No wonder Marx rejoiced greatly upon reading Darwin’s book The Descent of Man, another masterstroke to make men forget their divine origin and divine purpose. Darwin said that man springs from the animal world and has no aim other than mere survival. Man, who was given dominion over nature, was dethroned by these two. Satan could not dethrone God, so he devalued man. Man was shown to be the progeny of animals and a servant to his intestines. It is a coincidence that the 19th century gave the world three leading personalities opposed to Christianity, all bearing the name of Charles: Karl (German for Charles) Marx, Charles Darwin, and the French poet Charles Baudelaire. The latter wrote in Abel and Cain: Race of Cain, ascend to heaven Marx wrote to Ferdinand Lassalle on 16 January 1861, ‘Darwin’s book is very important and serves me as a basis in the natural sciences for the historical class struggle.’ Marx’s son-in-law, Paul Lafargue, in Socialism and the Intellectuals says, ‘When Darwin published his Origin of Species, he took away from God his role as creator in the organic world, as Franklin has despoiled him of his thunderbolt.’ The terrible thing is that it was not Darwin’s original intent to harm religion. He had written, ‘There is a grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one.’ In order to make his position more emphatic, Darwin inserted the phrase ‘by the Creator’ after ‘breathed’ in the second edition. It remained there in all the succeeding editions he published. Later, Freud would complete the work of these two satanic giants, reducing man basically to a sex urge, sublimated sometimes in politics, art or religion. It was the Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung who returned to the Biblical doctrine that the religious impulse is man’s basic urge. The age of Marx was a time of Satanist ferment in many spheres of life. It was the period in which the French poet Baudelaire wrote The Flowers of Evil, proclaiming himself openly to be on the side of immorality. The Russian poet Sologub, wrote, ‘My father is the devil;’ another Russian poet, Briusov, ‘I glorify equally the Lord and the devil.’ Marx was a child of the time that also gave us Nietzche (Hitler’s and Mussolini’s favourite philosopher), Max Stirner, an extreme anarchist, and Oscar Wilde, the first theoretician of freedom for homosexuality, a vice which today has met with acceptance even among the clergy. Satanic forces prepared Russia for the victory of Marxism. The time of the revolution was a period when love, good will and healthy feeling were considered mean and retrograde. Girls hid their innocence and husbands their faithfulness. Destruction was praised as good taste, neurasthenia as the sign of a fine mind. This was the theme of new writers who burst on the scene out of obscurity. Men invented vices and perversions, and were fastidious in their avoidance of being thought moral. How was it that Stalin became a revolutionist after reading Darwin?132 As a student in the Orthodox seminary he obtained from Darwin the concept that we are not creatures of God but the result of an evolution in which ruthless competition reigns. It is only the strongest and most cruel who survive. He learned that moral and religious criteria play no role in nature and that man is as much a part of nature as a fish or an ape. Then long live ruthlessness and cruelty! Darwin had written a scientific book setting forth his theory of origins. It had no economic or political implications. But though many might go so far as to concede that God created the world through a long process of evolution, the end result of Darwin’s theory has been the killing of tens of millions of innocents. He therefore became the spiritual father of the greatest mass-murderer in history. Beyond the intellectual turmoil of the nineteenth century can be traced the influence of the French Revolution, which was spiritually very much akin to the Russian cataclysm of the twentieth century. During the upheaval in France, Anarchasis Clootz, a leading French revolutionary and Illuminatus, declared himself to be ‘the personal enemy of Jesus Christ.’ He proclaimed before the Convention on 17 November 1792, ‘The people is the Sovereign and the God of the world ... Only fools believe in any other God, in a Supreme Being.’ The Convention then issued a decree proclaiming ‘the nullification of all religions.’ All these aspects need to be studied. I call upon scholars to do so. For those of us who take seriously the words of the Lord’s Prayer, ‘Deliver us from evil’, the meaning is clear: we implore a loving God to protect us and society around us from false doctrine, from pernicious art that accustoms us to evil under the guise of beauty, and from immorality in life. Then we need have no fear of the devil’s snares. You have the choice: do you want to become like a devil, cruel and vicious, or like Jesus, the God-man of holy love and peaceful soul? Moses Hess’s False ZionismTo complete the picture, we adduce a few more words about Moses Hess, the man who converted Marx and Engels to the Socialist ideal. There is a tombstone in Israel inscribed with the words, ‘Moses Hess, founder of the German Social Democrat Party.’ Hess expounds his beliefs in the Red Catechism for the German People: ‘What is black? Black is the clergy .... These theologians are the worst aristocrats ... The clergyman teaches the princes to oppress the people in the name of God. Secondly, he teaches the people to allow themselves to be oppressed and exploited in God’s name. Thirdly and principally, he provides for himself with God’s help a splendid life on earth, while the people are advised to wait for heaven . . .’ ‘The Red flag symbolises the permanent revolution until the completed victory of the working classes in all civilised countries: the Red republic ... The Socialist revolution is my religion ... The workers, when they have conquered one country, must help their brethren in the rest of the world.’133 This was Hess's religion when he first issued the Catechism. In the second edition, he added a few chapters. This time the same religion, i.e., the Socialist revolution, uses Christian language in order to accredit itself with believers. Together with the propaganda of revolution, there are indeed a few nice words about Christianity as a religion of love and humanity. But its message must be made clearer: its hell must not be on earth and its heaven beyond. The Socialist society will be the true fulfilment of Christianity. Thus Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. After Hess convinced Marx and Engels of the Socialist idea, claiming from the very beginning that its purpose would be to give ‘the last kick to medieval religion’.134 His friend Georg Jung said it even more clearly: ‘Marx will surely chase God from his heaven.’135 An interesting development took place in Hess’s life: he who had founded modern Socialism also founded an entirely different movement, a specific brand of Zionism. Thus Hess, founder of a socialism whose aim was to ‘chase God from heaven,’ was also the founder of a diabolic type of Zionism that was to destroy godly Zionism, the Zionism of love, understanding and concord with the surrounding nations. He who taught Marx the importance of class struggle wrote in 1862 these surprising words: ‘Race struggle is primary, class struggle is secondary.’136 He had lighted the fire of class war, a fire never extinguished, instead of teaching people to cooperate for the common good. The same Hess then breeds a distorted Zionism, a Zionism of race struggle, imposed upon men who are not of the Jewish race. As we reject Satanic Marxism, so also must every responsible Jew or Christian reject this diabolical perversion of Zionism. Hess claims Jerusalem for the Jews, but without Jesus, the King of the Jews. What need has Hess of Jesus? He writes, ‘Every Jew has the making of a Messiah in himself, every Jewess that of a Mater Dolorosa in herself.’137 Then why in the world did he not make of the Jew Marx a Messiah, a God anointed man, instead of a hater bent on chasing God from heaven? For Hess, Jesus is ‘a Jew, whom the heathen deified as their Saviour.’138 Neither Hess nor the Jews seem to need Him for themselves. Hess does not wish to be saved himself, and for an individual to seek personal sanctification is ‘Indo-German,’ he says. The aim of the Jews, according to him, must be ‘A Messianic state,’ ‘to prepare mankind for the revelation of the divine essence,’139 which means, as he acknowledges in his Red Catechism, to make the Socialist revolution through racial and class struggle. Moses Hess, who allotted to his idol Marx the task of putting an end to medieval religion, replacing it with the religion of Socialist revolution, writes these amazing words, ‘I have always been edified by Hebrew prayers.’140 What prayers do those who consider religion the opiate of the people say? We have seen already that the founder of scientific atheism prayed while wearing philacteries before burning candles. Jewish prayers can be misused in a blasphemous sense just as Christian prayers are in the Satanist ritual. Hess had taught Marx that Socialism was inseparable from internationalism. Marx writes in his Communist Manifesto that the proletariat has no fatherland. In his Red Catechism Hess mocks the fatherland notion of the Germans. He would have done the same with the fatherland notion of any other European nation. Hess criticised the Erfurt programme of the German Social-Democrat Party for its unconditional recognition of the national principle. But Hess is an internationalist apart. Jewish patriotism must remain. He writes, Whoever denies Jewish nationalism is not only an apostate, a renegade in the religious sense, but a traitor to his people and to his family. Should it prove true that the emancipation of the Jews is incompatible with Jewish nationalism, then the Jew must sacrifice emancipation ... The Jew must be, above all, a Jewish patriot.’141 I agree with Hess’s patriotic ideas to the extent that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander too. I am for every kind of patriotism—that of the Jews, the Arabs, the Germans, the French, the Americans. Patriotism is a virtue if it means the endeavour to promote economically, politically, spiritually, and religiously the welfare of one’s own nation, provided that it is done in friendship and cooperation with other nations. But the Jewish patriotism of a revolutionary Socialist who denies the patriotism of all other nations is highly suspect. This seems to me like a diabolic plan to make all peoples hate the Jews. If I were a non-Jew who saw the Jews accept Hess’s plan of a unilateral patriotism, I would oppose it too. Fortunately, no Jews have accepted this satanic plan. In fact, it was Herzl who gave a sane turn to Zionism. In its modem form no trace of Satanism has remained. The race struggle proposed by Hess is false, as false as the class struggle he enjoined. Hess did not abandon Socialism for this specific kind of Zionism. After having written Rome and Jerusalem, he continued to be active in the world Socialist movement. Hess does not state his thoughts dearly; therefore it is difficult to evaluate them. It is enough to know that according to him ‘the Christian world views Jesus as a Jewish saint who became a pagan man.’142 It is enough for us to read in his book, ‘We today long for a far more comprehensive salvation than that which Christianity was ever able to offer.’143 From The Red Catechism it follows that this more comprehensive salvation is the Socialist revolution. It could be added that Hess was not only the original source of Marxism and the man who attempted to create an anti-God Zionism, but also the predecessor of the liberation theology current in the World Council of Churches, and of the new tendencies in Catholicism which speak about salvation. One and the same man, who is almost unknown, has been the mouthpiece of three Satanic movements: Communism, a racist, hateful brand of Zionism, and liberation theology. No one can be a Christian without loving the Jews. Jesus was Jewish, as were the virgin Mary and all the apostles. The Bible is Jewish. The Lord has said, ‘Salvation is of the Jews’ John 4:22). Hess, on the other hand, exalts the Jews as though he consciously wanted to create a violent anti-Jewish reaction. He said that his religion was that of Socialist revolution. The clergy of all ‘other’ religions are crooks. Revolution is the only religion for which Hess has a high regard. He writes, ‘Our religion (the Jewish) has at its point of departure the enthusiasm of a race which from its appearance on the stage of history has foreseen the final purposes of mankind and which had a foreboding of the messianic time in which the spirit of humanity will be fulfilled, not only in this or that individual or only partially but in the social institutions of all mankind.’144 This time which Hess calls ‘messianic’ is the time of the victory of the Socialist world revolution.145 The idea that the Jewish religion had as its paint of departure the concept of a godless Socialist revolution is an ugly joke and an insult to the Jewish people. Hess speaks persistently in religious terms, but he does not believe in God. He writes that ‘our God is nothing more than the human race united in love.’146 The way to arrive at such a union is the Socialist revolution, in which tens of millions of specimens of his beloved mankind will be tortured and killed. He makes no secret of the fact that he wishes neither the domination of heaven, nor that of earthly powers, which are both oppressive. There is no good in any religion, except that of social revolution.’ It is useless and inefficient to elevate the people to real freedom and to make them participate in the goods of existence, without freeing them from spiritual slavery, i.e., from religion.’147 He speaks in one breath about the absolutism of celestial and earthly tyrants over slaves.’ The satanic depths of Communism can be understood only by knowing the kind of man Moses Hess was, for he influenced Marx and Engels, with whom he founded the First International, as well as Bakunin who joined them later. Without a knowledge of Hess, Marx is unintelligible, because it is he who brought Marx to Socialism. Let us remember Marx’s words already quoted: Words I teach all mixed up into a devilish muddle. Marx wrote in such a manner. Hess’s writings are an even more devilish muddle, which is difficult to untangle but which has to be analysed for possible connections between Marx and Satanism. Hess’s first book was called The Holy History of Mankind. He proclaimed it to be ‘a work of the holy spirit of truth,’148 saying further that as the Son of God freed men from their own slavery, Hess would free them also from political bondage. ‘I am called to witness for the light, as John has been.’149 At that time, Marx, who was still opposed to Socialism and had not known Hess personally, started to write a book against him. For unknown reasons, this book was never completed. He became Hess’s disciple later on.150 As previously indicated, Hess’s avowed aims were to give the last kick to medieval religion and to produce ravages. In the introduction to his book Last Judgment, he declares his satisfaction that the German philosopher Kant had allegedly ‘decapitated the old Father Jehovah together with the whole holy family.’151 (Hess covers his own ideas with the name of the great philosopher. Kant had had no such intentions. He had written to the contrary: ‘I had to limit knowledge to make place for faith.’)152 Hess declares the Jewish as well as the Christian religion to be ‘dead’153 which does not prevent him from writing in Rome and Jerusalem about ‘our holy writings,’ ‘the holy language of our fathers,’ ‘our cult,’ ‘the divine laws,’ ‘the ways of Providence,’ and ‘godly life.’154 It is not that at different stages in life he had held different opinions—in his pseudo-Zionist book he declares that he does not disown his former godless endeavours. No, this is an intentional ‘devilish muddle.’155 Hess was Jewish and a forerunner of Zionism. Because Hess, Marx, and other people like them were Jewish some people consider Communism a Jewish Plot. Yet Marx also wrote an anti-Jewish book. In this respect, too, he has simply followed Hess. This ‘Zionist’ who elevates Jewry to heaven wrote in his book About the Monetary System: ‘The Jews, who had the role, in the natural history of the social animal world, to develop mankind into a savage animal, have fulfilled this, their professional job. The mystery of Judaism and Christianity has been revealed in the modern Judeo-Christian. The mystery of the blood of Christ, like the mystery of the old Jewish worship of the blood, appears here unveiled as being the mystery of the predatory animal.’156 Don’t worry if you fail to understand these words. They were written ‘mixed up into a devilish muddle,’ but the hatred for Jewishness contained in them is clear. Hess is a racist. Jewish as well as anti-Jewish, according to the needs of the spirit which inspired his works and which he calls ‘holy.’ Hitler could have learned his racism from Hess. He who had taught Marx that social class is a decisive factor also wrote the contrary: ‘Life is an immediate product of race.’157 Social institutions and conceptions, as well as religions, are typical and original creations of the race. The problem of race lies hidden behind all the problems of nationalities and freedom. All of past history was concerned with the struggle of races and classes. Race struggle is primary; class struggle is secondary.158 How will Hess manage to have so many contradictory ideas triumph? ‘I will use the sword against all citizens who resist the endeavours of the proletariat.’159 We will hear the same from Marx: ‘Violence is the midwife which takes the womb of the old one.’160 Marx’s first teacher was the philosopher Hegel, who merely paved the way for Hess. Marx, too, had sucked poison from Hegel, for whom Christianity was wretched in comparison to the glorious past of Greek culture. He wrote: ‘Christians have piled up such a heap of reasons for comfort in misfortune ... that we ought to be sorry in the end that we cannot lose a father or a mother once a week, while for the Greek ‘misfortune was misfortune, pain was pain.’161 Christianity had been satirised in Germany before Hegel. But he was the first to satirise Jesus Himself. We are what we feed upon. Marx fed upon satanic ideas. Therefore he set forth Satanist doctrine. The Organisation ‘Hell’Communists have a habit of creating front organisations. All of the above suggests the probability that Communist movements are themselves front organsations for occult Satanism. This would explain why all the political, economic, cultural, and military weapons used against Commmunism have proved so inefficient. The means to fight Satanism are spiritual, not carnal; otherwise, while one Satanist front organisation, such as Nazism, is defeated, another will rise to greater victory. Himmler, the minister of Interior Affairs of Nazi Germany, thought himself to be King Henry the Fowler’s reincarnation. He believed that it was possible to harness occult powers to serve the Nazi army. Several Nazi leaders were involved in black magic. What was mere supposition when I published the first edition of this present book is now a proven fact. The proof has been given by the Communists themselves. The story begins with the Netchaiev case, which prompted Dostoievsky to write his renowned novel, The Demons. Netchaiev, called a ‘splendid, young fanatic’162 by Bakunin, Marx’s collaborator in founding the First International, wrote The Catechism of the Revolutionist as the guide for the Russian organisation ‘Popular Revenge.’ It appeared around 1870. The purpose of this organisation was formulated as follows: ‘Our cause is terrible, complete, universal, and pitiless destruction ... Let us unite with the savage, criminal world, these true and only revolutionists of Russia.’163 The first man the Netchaiev group killed was one of their founding comrades, Ivanov, who dared to criticise his leadership. No criticism was permitted. Netchaiev’s plan was to divide mankind into two unequal parts. ‘One tenth gets personal liberty and unlimited rights over the other nine tenths. These must lose their personality and turn into a kind of herd.’164 ‘They will engage in spy work. Each member of society will spy on the others and will be obliged to denounce ... All are slaves and are equal in slavery.’165 Netchaiev wrote in his Catechism: ‘A revolutionist must infiltrate everywhere, in the upper and lower classes ... in churches ... in literature.’ His disciple Peter Verhovensky commented: ‘We are already terribly powerful ... Jurors who acquit criminals are completely ours. The district attorney who trembles in courts not to be considered liberal enough is ours. Administrators, men of letters, we are many, very many, and they don’t know they belong to us.’166 On the basis of such a programme an organisation with an impressive name was formed: ‘World Revolutionist League.’ Its constitution was signed by Netchaiev and Bakunin, Marx’s intimate collaborator.167 In the beginning it consisted of only a handful of men. The revolutionist duke Peter Dolgorukov wrote on 31 October 1862: ‘In London I met Kelsiev (who belonged to the above organisation), a narrow minded but good man, terribly fanatical, with the face of a soft man. Kelsiev told me softly, with a benevolent look: “If we have to slaughter, why not slaughter, provided this is useful?” . . . All these London men speak continually about “burning down, slaughtering, cutting in pieces.” These words have never left their tongue since Bakunin came to England . . .’ In 1869, in Geneva, Netchaiev wrote a proclamation in which, referring to the man who shot the emperor Alexander II, he advises: ‘We must consider what Karakazov did as prologue. Yes, this was a prologue. Let us see to it that the drama itself begins soon.’168 From another proclamation: ‘Soon, soon the day comes when we will unfurl the great flag of the future, the Red flag, and we will attack with great noise the Imperial palace . . .’ ‘We will have one shout, “To the axes!” then we will kill the party of the emperor. Do not pity ... Kill in public places if these base rascals dare to enter them, kill in houses, kill in villages.’ ‘Remember, those who will not side with us will be against us. Whoever is against us is our enemy. And we must destroy enemies by all means.’169 In 1872, a revolutionary society was formed under the simple name ‘The Organisation,’ which has a super-secret kernel chillingly called ‘Hell.’ Though it has pursued its goals for well over a century, its existence was unknown to the outside world. Soviet historians dared write about the activities of ‘Hell,’ mentioning this circle, which was the forerunner of the Russian Communist Party, only as recently as 1965—93 years after its formation. In Revolutionist Underground in Russia, E. S. Vilenskaia wrote: ‘“Hell” was the name of the centre above the secret organisation, which not only used terror against the monarchy, but also had punitive functions toward the members of the secret organisation.’170 In Tchernishevsky or Netchaiev,171 we read that one of the members (Fediseev) of ‘Hell’ took it upon himself to poison his own father in order to give the organisation his inheritance. Tchernishevsky, who belonged to this movement, wrote, ‘I’ll participate in revolution; I am not frightened by dirt, by drunkards with sticks, by slaughter. We don’t care if we have to shed thrice as much blood as the rebels in the French revolution. So what if we had to kill a hundred thousand farmers?’ Here are some of the expressed aims of the satanic organisation: ‘Mystification is the best, almost the only means to impel men to make a revolution.’ ‘It is enough to kill a few million people and the wheels of revolution will be oiled.’ ‘Our ideal is awful, complete, universal, and pitiless destruction.’ And finally: ‘Mankind must be divided into two’ unequal parts. One tenth receives personal liberty and unlimited rights over the other nine-tenths. The latter must lose their personality and become a kind of herd.’172 In their writings, we continually find the phrase ‘we are not afraid.’ A typical example is the following proclamation: ‘We are not afraid that we might find out three times more blood will have to be shed for the overthrow of the existing order than the Jacobins (French revolutionists) had to shed in their revolution in 1790 ... If for the fulfilment of our obiectives we had to slaughter 100,000 landlords, we would not be afraid of this either.’173 In reality, the number of victims was much greater. Churchill says in his Memoirs of World War II that Stalin confessed that 10,000,000 people died as a result of the collectivisation of agriculture in the Soviet Union. The important fact to remember is that the Communists have now confessed, after a delay of almost a hundred years, that at the inception of their movement was a circle called ‘Hell.’ Why ‘Hell?’ Why not ‘The Society for the Betterment of the Poor’ or ‘. . . of Mankind?’ Why the stark emphasis on Hell? Today the Communists are more cautious. But in the beginning their very name revealed that their avowed aim was to recruit men for eternal damnation. OrginformA gigantic organism has been created by the Soviet Secret Police to destroy the churches in the whole world. Their first aim is to cancel or minimise the hostility of religions toward Communism. Additionally, they seek allies within the churches so they may use clerical prestige to bring the mass of believers into the camp of revolution. The name of this department is Orginform. It has secret cells in every country, in every large religious organisation. One can assume that anti-Communist organisations and missions working behind the Iron Curtain are its main target. Communist agents specialising in propaganda and provocation infiltrate churches and missions to prepare the ideological disarmament of the faithful. Its first director, Vassilii Gorelov, was formerly an Orthodox priest, an apostle turned Judas. The head quarters are in Warsaw. The actual leader is Theodor Krasky. Orginform has one school in Feodosia for training agents for Latin countries and one in Moscow for North America. The agents for Britain, Holland, Scandinavia, etc., are trained in Siguel (Latvia) and those for Moslem countries in Constantza (Romania). These schools prepare false pastors, priests, imams, and rabbis; each must understand thoroughly their respective theology. Some of them entrench themselves in churches or missions by posing as refugees. The Jesuit Tondi, an Italian Communist, after attending the Lenin School in Moscow, was instructed by the Communist Party to enter a religious order. He became afterwards a secretary to Pope Paul VI. His true role was discovered. Now he openly declares himself to be a Communist and has married a comrade. He is still active in religious matters for the Communist Party and claims to have been forgiven by the Pope.174 The Satanist MassDr. Lawrence Pazder in Michelle Remembers175 gives us the exact words of a highly secret Satanist mass obtained through regression analysis from a girl who had attended such some twenty years before. In the mass Satan appears and says: Out of dark and fire red Satan is obviously personified by the high priest of the sect. Then Satan takes a Bible in his hand and says: No eyes can see what this book said. Then follows the chant of the congregation: It’s time to change from black to red. Satan again: The Holy One, the One most high— Friedrich Nietzsche, in the fourth part of Thus Spake Zarathustra under ‘Awakening,’ provides the text of another black mass he himself composed. Its spirit does not differ much from the one above.176 Tragically, it has come to light that black masses have infiltrated the lives of many Americans, especially children.177 Satan, Satan, Satan. He is God; he is God; he is God. These blasphemous words are hidden in the lyrics of rock records that children listen to by the hour, many without even an awareness of what they are being subjected to. The words are hidden in the lyrics through a ‘backward masking’ technique. ’When the record is played forward, the message is received by the listener’s subconscious mind which, like a computer, stores it away. The conscious mind hears one thing-the subconscious another.’ A number of rock groups have used the technique. Led Zeppelin’s best-selling record ‘Stairway to Heaven,’ which admittedly, makes little sense as written, contains the masked message, ‘I will sing because I live with Satan.’ Another song contains the words, ‘I decide to smoke marijuana.’ Subliminal persuasion is more powerful, and therefore more dangerous than conscious influence. Public black masses are rare today, but Stefan Zweig in his biography of Fouché describes one held in Lyon during the French Revolution. A revolutionary, Chalier, had been killed. The black mass was celebrated in his honour. On that day crucifixes were tom from all the altars and priestly robes were confiscated. A huge crowd of men carrying a bust of the revolutionary descended on the marketplace. Three pro-consuls were there to honour Chalier, ‘the God-Saviour who died for the people.’ The crowd carried chalices, holy images, and utensils used in the mass. Behind them was an ass wearing a bishop’s mitre on its head. A crucifix and a Bible had been tied to its tail. In the end, the Gospel was thrown into the fire together with missals, prayerbooks and ikons. The ass was made to drink from a Communion chalice as a reward for its blasphemous services. The bust of Chalier was put on an altar in place of the smashed image of Christ. Tens of former Catholic priests participated in such actions. A medal was issued to commemorate this event. Secret black masses do not take this shape, but the spirit is basically the same. The Russian magazine ‘Tunii Kommunist,’ Moscow, December 1984 describes in detail a Satanist mass in which bread and wine, mixed with dung and tears taken from operating on the eyes of a living cock, are ‘transubstantiated’ into the alleged body and blood of Lucifer. During this ceremony the words of the mass are read from the end to the beginning, as is customary in Satanist rituals. Then a covenant is concluded between Satan and his worshippers. The points of the contract are: renunciation of Christian teaching; new baptism in the name of the devil, with a change of name; renunciation of godparents, with the substitution of other protectors; bringing some personal clothing as a gift to Satan; swearing loyalty to Satan, while standing in a magic circle; inscription of the new member’s name in ‘The Book of the Dead’, as opposed to Christ’s Book of Life; the promise to consecrate one’s children to the devil, as well as gifts and deeds pleasing to him; an oath to keep the secrets of the witches’ coven and to demean the Christian religion. Why would Communists dig out such teachings from old books of demonology and recommend them to the youth, saying ‘they are rich food for thought?’ Is that in essence all that Marxism has to offer the human mind? The Communist magazine continues: ‘In this devilish anti-world, which externally is completely like ours, man must reply with evil to every success in life.’ Then it brazenly affirms the following as the Slogan of the Satanist doctrinaire: ‘Satan is not the foe of man. He is Life, Love, Light.’ The article ends with a quotation from Uspenskii expressing the hope of the Communists: ‘There are ideas which touch the most intimate corners of our lives. Once these are touched, the marks remain forever ... They will poison life.’178 This insidious material is presented in a subtle manner as if to provide information, but its aim is to arouse the reader’s morbid curiosity, with ravaging effects. During the initiation ceremony for the third degree in the Satanist church, the initiate has to take the oath, ‘I will always do only what I will.’ In other words, there is no authority beyond the polluted self. This is an open denial of God’s commandment, ‘Seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to go a whoring’ (Numbers 15:39). Marxists appeal to the basest passions, stirring up envy towards the rich and violence towards everyone. ‘It is the evil side which makes history’, wrote Marx, and he played a major role in shaping history. Revolutions do not cause love to triumph. Rather, killing becomes a mania. In the Russian and Chinese revolutions, after the Communists had murdered tens of millions of innocents, they could not stop murdering. They brutally killed one another. Is Everything Permitted?The Satanist cult is very old, older than Christianity. The prophet Isaiah might have had it in view when he wrote, ‘We have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him (the Saviour) the iniquity of us all’ (Isaiah 53:6). True religious feeling is at the opposite pole. There were Hassidic rabbis who never said ‘I’ because they considered it a pronoun that belonged only to God. By way of contrast, when a man or woman is initiated into the seventh degree of Satanism, he swears that his principle will be, ‘Nothing is true, and everything is permitted.’ When Marx filled out a quiz game for his daughter, he answered the question ‘Which is your favourite principle?’ with the words, ‘Doubt everything.’179 Marx wrote in The Communist Manifesto that his aim was the abolition not only of all religions but also of all morals, which would make everything permissible. It was with a sense of horror that I read the mystery of the seventh degree of Satanism inscribed on a poster at the University of Paris during the 1968 riots. It had been simplified to the formula, ‘It is forbidden to forbid,’ which is the natural consequence of ‘Nothing is true, and everything is permissible.’ The youth obviously did not realise the stupidity of the formula. If it is forbidden to forbid, it must also be forbidden to forbid forbidding. If everything is permissible, forbidding is permissible, too. Young people think that permissiveness means liberty. Marxists know better. To them, the formula means that it is forbidden to forbid cruel dictatorships like those in Red China and the Soviet Union. Dostoievsky had said it already: ‘If there is no God, everything is permitted.’ If there is no God, our instincts are free. The ultimate expression of this kind of liberty is hatred. Whoever is free in this sense considers loving kindness a weakness of the spirit. Engels said, ‘Generalised love of men is an absurdity’ (Anti-Duhring) The anarchist thinker Max Stirner, author of The I and Its Property, and one of Marx’s friends, wrote, ‘I am legitimately authorised to do everything I am capable of.’ Communism is collective demon-possession. Solzhenitsyn in Gulag Archipelago reveals some of its horrible results in the souls and lives of people. The Mythical MarxLet me say again that I am conscious that the evidence I have given to date may be considered circumstantial. The problem will have to be studied more thoroughly by someone else. But what I have written is enough to show that what Marxists say about Karl Marx is a myth. He was not prompted by concern for the poverty of his fellow men, for which revolution was the only solution. He did not love the proletariat but called them ‘nuts,’ ‘stupid,’ ‘asses,’ ‘rascals,’ even obscenities. (Correspondence with Engels.) He did not love even his comrades in the fight for Communism. He called Freiligrath ‘the swine,’180 Lassalle ‘Jewish nigger,’181 Bakunin ‘a theoretical zero.’182 A lieutenant Tchekhov, a fighter in the revolution of 1848 who spent nights drinking with Marx, commented that Marx’s narcissism had devoured everything good that had been in him. Marx certainly did not love mankind. Giuseppe Mazzini, who knew him well, wrote that he had ‘a destructive spirit. His heart bursts with hatred rather than with love toward men.’183 Mazzini was himself a ‘Carbonari.’ This orgarisation founded in 1815 by Maghella, a Genoan Freemason, declared its ‘final aim to be that of Voltaire and of the French Revolution—the complete annihilation of Catholicism and ultimately of Christianity.’ It began as an Italian operation but subsequently developed a broader European orientation. Though Mazzini was critical of Marx, he maintained his friendship with him. The Jewish Encyclopaedia says that Mazzini and Marx were entrusted with the task of preparing the address and the constitution of the First International. This means that they were birds of the same feather, though they sometimes pecked at each other. I know of no testimonies from Marx’s contemporaries that contradicted Mazzini’s evaluation. Marx the loving man is a myth constructed only after his death. In fact, his favourite bit of verse was this quotation from G. Werth: ‘There is nothing more beautiful in the world than to bite one’s enemies.’ In his own words, he said outright, ‘We are pitiless. We ask for no pity. When our turn comes, we will not shun terrorism.’ These are hardly the sentiments of a lover. Marx did not hate religion because it stood in the way of the happiness of mankind. On the contrary, he simply wanted to make mankind unhappy in this world and throughout eternity. He proclaimed this as his ideal. His avowed aim was the destruction of religion. Socialism, concern for the proletariat, humanism—these were only pretexts. After Marx had read The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, he wrote a letter to Lassalle in which he exults that God—in the natural sciences at least—had been given ‘the death blow.’184 What idea, then, preempted all others in Marx’s mind? Was it the plight of the poor proletariat? If so, of what possible value was Darwin’s theory? The only tenable conclusion is that Marx’s chief aim was the destruction of religion. The good of the workers was only a pretence. Where proletarians do not fight for Socialist ideals, Marxists will exploit racial differences or the so-called generation gap. The main thing is that religion must be destroyed. Marx believed in hell, and his programme, the driving force in his life, was to send men to hell. Robin GoodfellowThe documents proving Marx’s connection with a Satanist sect continue to accumulate. Marx wrote, ‘In the signs that bewilder the middle class, the aristocracy, and the prophets of regression, we recognise our brave friend, Robin Goodfellow, the old mole that can work in the earth so fast—the revolution.’185 Scholars who have read this apparently never looked into the identity of this Robin Goodfellow, Marx’s brave friend, the worker for revolution. The 16th century evangelist William Tyndale uses Robin Goodfellow as a name for the devil.186 Shakespeare in his Midsummer Night’s Dream calls him ‘the knavish spirit that misleads nightwanderers, laughing at their harm.’187 Thus, according to Marx, considered the father of Communism, a demon was the author of the Communist revolution and was his personal friend. In Argentina, groups of Communist terrorists kidnapped industrialists, demanded ransom money, and obtained millions. This money was multiplied in capitalist banks by a certain Graiver, who convinced poor people as well to entrust him with their savings. With the profits he financed terrorists. Then he went bankrupt, ruining the poor. Former presidents of Argentina and leading newspapermen were his accomplices, among them a man who had taken the name of Satanovsky. It is worth remembering here that Stalin started writing under the pseudonyms ‘Son of the devil’ and ‘Son of the demon.’ Lenin’s TombIn his revelation to St John, Jesus said something very mysterious to the church in Pergamos (a city in Asia Minor): ‘I know where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is’ (Revelation 2:13). Pergamos must have been a centre of the Satanist cult in that period. Now the world-famous Baedecker tourist guidebooks for Berlin state that the Island Museum contained the Pergamos altar of Zeus until 1944. German archaeologists had excavated it, and it had been in the centre of the Nazi capital during Hitler’s Satanist regime. But the saga of the seat of Satan is not yet over. Svenska Dagbladet (Stockholm) for 27 January 1948, reveals that: 1) The Soviet Army after the conquest of Berlin, carried off the Pergamos altar from Germany to Moscow. This tremendous structure measures 127 feet long by 120 feet wide by 40 feet high. Surprisingly, the altar has not been exhibited in any Soviet museum. For what purpose was it transported to Moscow? We have already indicated that men in the top echelons of the Soviet hierarchy practice Satanist rituals. Have they reserved the Pergamos altar for their private use? There are many unanswered questions. Suffice it to say that objects of such high archaeological value usually do not disappear but are the pride of museums. 2) The architect Stjusev, who built Lenin’s mausoleum, used this altar of Satan as a model for the mausoleum in 1924.188 Thousands of Soviet citizens wait in line every day to visit this sanctuary of Satan in which Lenin’s mummy lies in state. Religious leaders of the whole world pay their homage to the Soviets ‘patron saint’ in this monument erected to Satan. Not a day goes by without wreaths of flowers being brought here, whereas the Christian churches on the same Red Square in Moscow have long since been turned into museums. Satan rules in the Soviet Union in a highly visible manner. The Satanist temple at Pergamos was only one of many of its kind. Why did Jesus single it out? Probably not because of the minor role it played at that time. Rather, his words were prophetic. He spoke about Nazism and Communism by which this altar would be honoured. Since this is the story of Lenin’s tomb, it is worth noting with irony that on the grave of his father there stands a cross with the inscription ‘The light of Christ illuminates all’ and a multitude of Bible verses. Call for ActionAll these things I write in an exploratory manner. Christian thinkers, like other scholars, often succumb to the temptation to prove some preconceived ideas. They do not necessarily present only the truth as far as they have ascertained it. Sometimes they are prone to stretch the truth or exaggerate their argumentation in order to prove their point. I do not claim to have provided indisputable proof that Marx was a member of a sect of devil-worshippers, but I believe that there are sufficient leads to imply this strongly. There are certainly enough leads to suggest Satanic influence upon his life and teachings, while conceding that there are gaps in the chain of evidence that would lead to a definitive conclusion in this matter. I have provided the initial impulse. Let others continue this important inquiry into the relationship between Marxism and Satanism. Meanwhile, how can the church defeat Marxism? The secular anti-Communist world can use the weapons of economic sanctions, political pressure, military threats, and broad-based propaganda. The church should certainly support any actions that conscience can endorse in the battle against the enemies of God. But it also has a weapon of its own. The Ukrainian Metropolitan of the Catholic church, Byzantine rite, Andrew Count Sheptytsky, requested that Rome order prayers of exorcism against the Communists, whose ‘regime cannot be explained except by a massive possession of the devil.‘ Jesus did not tell His disciples to complain about demons but to cast them out (Matthew 10:8). I believe this can be effectively accomplished. However, this book is not the right forum for entering into details about such prayer.
