Communism Is Not A Jewish Plot

   In all seriousness, if you can answer this question, even delicately, why do many western communists seem to be of a specific ethnic group? Even Steven krasner, professor emeritus of political science at Stanford, told this to me personally in 1986!

   Of course, you are referring to the Jews in writing this. The long-time head of the communist party in America, during much of my lifetime, was Gus Hall. He was Finnish-American. TThe most famous American communist was John Reed. Not Jewish. Alger Hiss, the famous communist spy, not Jewish. Harry Dexter White, the other famous communist who infiltrated government, was of Jewish Lithuanian background. Notice that these people or their parents came from the Russian Empire. They had opposed Tsarism and embraced socialism, which was the fashionable among those who hated the Tsar. I do not have statistics on ethnic percentages within the CPUSA, but the Party initially had a lot of Finns in it, partly because the Reds lost the Civil War in Finland, and many fled to America and joined the Party. and people from the former Russian Empire. Since a lot of Jews also fled that Empire, before the Revolution, becuase of persecution, you will also notice a number from that ethnic community joining the Party as well. But communism is not a Jewish movement. That is a mistaken notion. At the time of the Bolshevik Revolution, the most influential Jewish leader was the banker, Jacob Schiff. He was not a communist and he did not support communism. Henry Ford promoted the lie that Schiff had done so, and was sued over it, and was forced to admit he was wrong. Instead of financing the Bolshevik Revolution, Schiff urged the influential Jews at the time to support Admiral Kolchak and the White Army. And so they did. In sorting this out, it helps to use a good research library.

   With regard to the dying of no less than the whole of Christian civilisation, the significance of what happened inside the Roman Catholic Church beginning with the pontificate of “good Pope” John XXIII in 1958, is rarely looked at, let alone understood, in Protestant circles. Given the prominence – and “weight”, if you will – of the old, traditional Roman Catholic Church, these changes amounted to a veritable seismic shift, a “French Revolution”, as it were, inside the institution, launched by infiltrators and wolves in sheep’s clothings. The magic word at the time, famously, was “aggiornamento”, i.e., a necessary “updating” of the Church in the face of technological progress and massive changes in the societies of the world (this was the deceptive rhetoric by which these modernist churchmen sought to justify their work of destruction). How upside-down! The Church’s task would have been to warn against the dangers of secularisation and nihilism, rather than embracing them. And so, within a matter of a decade, at the most, the Roman Catholic Church ceased being Catholic and became somewhat a leftist sister organisation of the United Nations, with a new role for the future: “unifying” the world’s religious traditions into one revolutionary hybrid “faith”. The late American Catholic scholar Rama P. Coomaraswamy wrote a groundbreaking book about the Second Vatican Council of 1962-65, titled simply: The Destruction of the Christian Tradition. It’s a book everybody should read:

      Protestants came to much the same conclusion as your synopsis, only much earlier at the time of the Reformation.
