Winston Churchill on Communism and Judaism.
Bob, here is an interesting article by Winston Churchill about the Jewish origins of Communism. Churchill was perhaps the most politically informed person in the world at the time he wrote this article. What are your comments on Churchill's views on the origin of Communism? How does this knowledge of the origin of Communism fit with your "international conspiracy" theories? I would certainly like to here your and others views on this subject? Does the antichrist nature of Talmudic Judaism explain the extreme antichrist nature of Communism? How does this fit with the evil antichrist kingdom that is to arise in the last days?

A STRUGGLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
by the Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill
[Illustrated Sunday Herald, February 8, 1920]
SOME PEOPLE LIKE Jews and some do not; but no thoughtful man can doubt the
fact that they are beyond all question the most formidable and the most
remarkable race which has ever appeared in the world.
Disraeli, the Jewish Prime Minister of England, and Leader of the
Conservative Party, who was always true to his race and proud of his
origin, said on a well-known occasion: "The Lord deals with the nations as
the nations deal with the Jews." Certainly when we look at the miserable
state of Russia, where of all the countries in the world the Jews were the
most cruelly treated, and contrast it with the fortunes of our own
country, which seems to have been so providentially preserved amid the
awful perils of these times, we must admit that nothing that has since
happened in the history of the world has falsified the truth of Disraeli's
confident assertion.
Good and Bad Jews.
The conflict between good and evil which proceeds unceasingly in the
breast of man nowhere reaches such intensity as in the Jewish race. The
dual nature of mankind is nowhere more strongly or more terribly
exemplified. We owe to the Jews in the Christian revelation a system of
ethics which, even if it were entirely separated from the supernatural,
would be incomparably the most precious possession of mankind, worth in
fact the fruits of all other wisdom and learning put together. On that
system and by that faith there has been built on the wreck of the Roman
Empire the whole of our existing civilisation.
And it may well be that this same astounding race may at the present
moment be in the actual process of producing another system of morals and
philosophy, as malevolent as Christianity was benevolent, which, if not
arrested, would shatter irretrievably all that Christianity has rendered
possible. It would almost seem as if the gospel of Christ and the gospel
of Antichrist were destined to originate among the same people; and that
this mystic and mysterious race had been chosen for the supreme
manifestations, both of the divine and the diabolical.
"National" Jews.
There can be no greater mistake than to attribute to each individual a
recognisable share in the qualities which make up the national character.
There are all sorts of men--good, bad and, for the most part,
indifferent--in every country, and in every race. Nothing is more wrong
than to deny to an individual, on account of race or origin, his right to
be judged on his personal merits and conduct. In a people of peculiar
genius like the Jews, contrasts are more vivid, the extremes are more
widely separated, the resulting consequences are more decisive.
At the present fateful period there are three main lines of political
conception among the Jews, two of which are helpful and hopeful in a very
high degree to humanity, and the third absolutely destructive.
First there are the Jews who, dwelling in every country throughout the
world, identify themselves with that country, enter into its national
life, and, while adhering faithfully to their own religion, regard
themselves as citizens in the fullest sense of the State which has
received them. Such a Jew living in England would say, "I am an
Englishman practising the Jewish faith." This is a worthy conception, and
useful in the highest degree. We in Great Britain well know that during
the great struggle the influence of what may be called the "National Jews"
in many lands was cast preponderatingly on the side of the Allies; and in
our own Army Jewish soldiers have played a most distinguished part, some
rising to the command of armies, others winning the Victoria Cross for
valour.
The National Russian Jews, in spite of the disabilities under which they
have suffered, have managed to play an honourable and useful part in the
national life even of Russia. As bankers and industrialists they have
strenuously promoted the development of Russia's economic resources, and
they were foremost in the creation of those remarkable organisations, the
Russian Co-operative Societies. In politics their support has been given,
for the most part, to liberal and progessive movements, and they have been
among the staunchest upholders of friendship with France and Great
Britain.
International Jews.
In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish effort rise the schemes
of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are
mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews
are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all of them, have
forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all
spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not
new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down
to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and
Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow
of civilisation and for the reconstituition of society on the basis of
arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has
been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so
ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French
Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during
the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary
personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and
America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and
have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.
Terrorist Jews.
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of
Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by
these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. It is
certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the
notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews.
Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the
Jewish leaders. Thus, Tchitcherin, a pure Russian, is eclipsed by his
nominal subordinate Litvinoff, and the influence of Russians like Bukharin
or Lunacharski cannot be compared with the power of Trotsky, or of
Zinovieff, the Dictator of the Red Citadel (Petrograd), or of Krasin or
Radek--all Jews. In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is
even more astonishing. And the prominent, if not indeed the principal,
part in the system of terrorism applied by the Extraordinary Commissions
for Combating Counter-Revolution has been taken by Jews, and in some
notable cases by Jewesses. The same evil prominence was obtained by Jews
in the brief period of terror during which Bela Kun ruled in Hungary. The
same phenomenon has been presented in Germany (especially in Bavaria), so
far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the temporary
prostration of the German people. Although in all these countries there
are many non-Jews every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish
revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their
numbers is astonishing.
"Protector of the Jews."
Needless to say, the most intense passions of revenge have been excited
in the breasts of the Russian people. Wherever General Denikin's authority
could reach, protection was always accorded to the Jewish population, and
strenuous efforts were made by his officers to prevent reprisals and to
punish those guilty of them. So much was this the case that the Petlurist
propaganda against General Denikin denounced him as the Protector of the
Jews. The Misses Healy, nieces of Mr. Tim Healy, in relating their
personal experiences in Kieff, have declared that to their knowledge on
more than one occasion officers who committed offences against Jews were
reduced to the ranks and sent out of the city to the front. But the hordes
of brigands by whom the whole vast expanse of the Russian Empire is
becoming infested do not hesitate to gratify their lust for blood and for
revenge at the expense of the innocent Jewish population whenever an
opportunity occurs. The brigand Makhno, the hordes of Petlura and of
Gregorieff, who signalised their every success by the most brutal
massacres, everywhere found among the half-stupified, half-infuriated
population an eager response to anti-Semitism in its worst and foulest
forms.
The fact that in many cases Jewish interests and Jewish places of worship
are excepted by the Bolsheviks from their universal hostility has tended
more and more to associate the Jewish race in Russia with the villainies
which are now being perpetrated. This is an injustice on millions of
helpless people, most of whom are themselves suffering from the
revolutionary regime. It becomes, therefore, specially important to foster
and develop any strongly-marked Jewish movement which leads directly away
from these fatal associations. And it is here that Zionism has such a deep
significance for the whole world at the present time.
