Their stated philosophy was atheism and they closed Christian Churches and killed or imprisoned the clergy.&#8221;<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;However, did they also close Jewish synagogues and kill or imprison the rabbis? The answer to this question will explain many things about the early days of Communism and I hope you can provide the truth.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;\">Last week I stumbled across the answer in\u00a0a 1939 book, <em>Democracy and Wold Dominion<\/em> by American historian Edwin Schoonmaker:<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>&#8220;Fifteen years after the Bolshevist Revolution was launched to carry out the Marxist program, the editor of the <em>American Hebrew<\/em> could write: &#8216;According to such information that the writer could secure while in Russia a few weeks ago, not one Jewish synagogue has been torn down, as have hundreds&#8211;perhaps thousands of the Greek Catholic Churches&#8230;In Moscow and other large cities one can see Christian churches in the process of destruction&#8230;the Government needs the location for a large building,&#8221; (<em>American Hebrew<\/em>, Nov. 18, 1932, p. 12) Apostate Jews, leading a revolution that was to destroy religion as the &#8220;opiate of the people&#8221; had somehow spared the synagogues of Russia.&#8221; (p. 211)<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;\">If the Communists hated God and religion so much, why didn&#8217;t they destroy synagogues too? <\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;\">Do Christianity and Judaism worship the same God? Or can a religion that claims an exclusive God be a religion? Could it be that\u00a0Judaism is\u00a0a really a secret society like Freemasonry where the members don&#8217;t know the hidden agenda, which is\u00a0in fact expressed by\u00a0Communism?\u00a0\u00a0Although many religious Jews were anti Communist, Schoonmaker&#8217;s information suggests there may be an affinity between Cabala Judaism and\u00a0 satanic\u00a0Communism. <\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;\">My working assumption is that the London-based Judeo Masonic banking cabal\u00a0sponsored the Bolsheviks and is behind the NWO. Communism was part of a grand dialectical process by which &#8220;life in the United States &#8230; can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union,&#8221; in the words of Ford Foundation President Rowan Gaither, to Congressional Investigator Norman Dodd in 1953.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5>If indeed Communism and Democracy are being &#8220;comfortably merged&#8221; under the pretext of the phoney\u00a0&#8220;war on terror,&#8221; then\u00a0church destruction\u00a0will be\u00a0disturbing to Christians and\u00a0all God fearing people, including\u00a0ethnic Jews like myself.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ANTI SEMITISM<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 15.0pt;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"http:\/\/henrymakow.com\/001913.html\">Continues &#8230; <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A key article from 2007 unveils the true nature of the threat that imperils mankind<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Hidden_and_Revisionist_History","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=87852"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":87999,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87852\/revisions\/87999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=87852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=87852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=87852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
