We greet you in the wonderful Name of our Lord Jesus Christ and appreciate your fellowship.

From the Books of Daniel and Revelation we understand that the history of the past 2,000 years is the record of natural warfare (foretold in the Seven Trumpet mysteries) and spiritual warfare (foretold in the Seven Seals) between the successors of Rome and Israel in their rivalry for world hegemony. Today these identities are the apostate Roman Catholic FALSE church and her harlot daughters, and the self-styled Edomite "Jews" and their apostate followers. Genuine Christians, and Israelites who are Hebrews, are despised, rejected and ridden-over rough shod by both entities.

I am not suggesting that everyone identified with these groups is intentionally evil. Good and evil are found in all societies. The world generally is ignorant of the machinations behind these politico-religious systems, and of the identity of their masters. However "ignorance" will be no ground for appeal at the judgment where every man will be resurrected to account for his deeds in the body in which he lived his life.

The Bible and the Talmud portray Rome and the "Jews" as mortal enemies. What the protagonists do not realize is that they are each ruled by the same master under Lucifer, and brought into planned conflict in order to produce a predetermined outcome ultimately intended to destroy both groups and their beliefs. (See "Babylon versus Babylon" ).

This tactic is explained in ("Hegelian Dialectics and Conspiracy" ) where I began by saying, "As we examine the philosophy behind national and international affairs, we discover it has a common purpose and source in every major nation, with the exception of perhaps China." I was mistaken. The Communist take-over in China was managed by the same super-rich elite who masterminded and financed Fascism, Nazism, and the Communist takeover of Russia (at the expense of taxpayers in America and other Western nations), hence every Chinese salutes the red star of Zionism. America betrayed Chiang Kaishek (a 33 Degree Mason) in 1948 and switched support to the Chinese Communists via Communist Russia). And on January 31, 1949, Communists in American tanks rolled into Peking. The mass murderer, Chairman Mao (with Jewish "voluntary advisers" behind him), and his terrible Trotskyist experiments reached a frightening perfection in Pol Pot's Cambodia (in co-operation with Sir Henry Kissinger and the US Office of Population Affairs). Similarly the United States helped Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein.

The wealthy Jewish banker and Illuminatus, David Rockefeller, described Mao's reign of terror as "one of the most important and successful in human history" (The New York Times, August 10, 1973).

We may call these Luciferians Illuminati (meaning "illuminated ones"), a name that describes the followers of Lucifer, who was "the sum of wisdom and beauty" (Ezekiel 28:11). Lucifer's rebellion against God had its first manifestation in the garden of Eden where he "illuminated" Eve, causing the Fall.

His conspiracy reorganized after the Flood in the secret societies that arose in Babylon through his forbidden knowledge transplanted by Ham, whose son, Cush (also known as Hermes), claimed to be the interpreter of the gods. Cush was the original ring leader who led the people away from the one true God and as the "interpreter of the gods" enticed them to take another form of religion. He encouraged them to build the tower of Babel which his son Nimrod actually built. This encouragement brought the confusion and division of men, so that he was both, "interpreter and confuser".

Cush, was the father of the polytheistic system and Trinitarianism, so when men were deified by men, he became Bel whom the Romans called Janus and Chaos, the father of the gods. He is pictured as having two faces and he carried a club by which he confounded and "scattered" the people.

Amschel Mayer Rothschild financed the Illuminati, commissioning Adam Weishaupt to update the Alumbrado, (an earlier form of Illuminati whence the "Jew" Ignatious Loyola spawned the Jesuits) to establish "Jewish" world hegemony. Illuminatus Albert Pike outlined plans to accomplish this objective in a letter to Guiseppe Mazzini, head of the World Revolutionary Movement. This letter dated August 15, 1871, was once cataloged in the British Museum, but seems to have "disappeared".

"Pike's plan was ingeniously simple. The inherent antagonism between different ideologies was to be stirred up and made to explode in three world wars and three revolutions. The first world war was to destroy the three European empires, at that time being the last remaining bulwarks against Illuminism. One of these (Russia) was to be made a centre of atheist totalitarianism (Communism). The second world war was to erupt from heightened tensions between the Jewish race (and its spiteful Zionism) and extreme European nationalism (Nazism and Fascism). This war would weaken Europe economically and politically and Communism would expand and become as strong as all Christendom, but not stronger, until the time was up for the final destruction of society. A third reason for the second world war was to create a Jewish state in Palestine. Gradually, it would be possible to thereby heighten the tensions between Judaism and Islam until they broke out in a war which would bring in all of the world powers."

"The first two revolutions, which would aid this carefully planned dissolution of all human civilization, were the Russian and the Chinese. If the plans of the international banker/Illuminati cabal were to be brought to fruition, Russia, Germany, Japan and the United States would have to be brought to their knees in unconditional surrender, poverty and ignominy (Des Griffin, "Descent Into Slavery", Emissary Publications, 1984, p. 38-40). The reader will realize that most of this evil plan has already become reality. Concerning the last stage, General Pike wrote the following:"

"We shall unleash the Nihilists and Atheists and provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment on be without compass (direction), anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time." (Juri Lina, "Under the Sign of the Scorpion", Referent Publishing, Stockholm, 1998, p. 48-49).

At this time the players are on their marks, and the starter's gun is being primed to begin World War III. Those who are wise can see how Islamic East and West Pakistan were partitioned from Hindu India in preparation for World War III. Likewise the partition of Israel and Jerusalem between the "Jews", Jordan and the Palestinians who are Moslems. And the Arab states were created to control their power. The City of London, U.N., U.S. and NATO have invested billions of dollars provoking warfare among Islamic and Orthodox Christian peoples in the Balkans and Chechnya, and between Islamic and Roman Catholic peoples in Africa and Indonesia. Their master wants a dividend in World War III. One world government.

So you see, my friends, that when you take arms to defend your nation, you are doing nothing of the kind. You are but a pawn in a rich man's game. And whatever your nationality, your leaders will obey the dictates of the "hidden hand" or suffer a "heart attack" or some such misadventure.

This week we welcome guest contributor, Washington Times columnist and Editor of Truth in Media, Bob Djurdjevic. Although I do not agree with his Orthodox traditions, his personal experiences show how Rome is transforming Pike's plan into reality -- NOW. Following Djurdjevic's article we quote Juri Lina's book, "Under the Sign of the Scorpion", which documents how the "Jews" too have worked ethusiastically to transform Pike's plan into reality. I recommend you purchase this informative book from the author [email protected]

"Now" is the time for you to make your decision, and ACT upon it. The New World Order is the great tribulation, when these evils now perpetrated "in the name of God" will come to be regarded as almost "the good old days".

Everything presented should be confirmed personally in your own Bible.

Vatican wants Multinational Jerusalem

IsraelWire, July 24, 2000 -- Realizing the time is right to place a claim on Jerusalem, Pope John Paul II on Sunday issued a call for Jerusalem to be placed under the control of the international community.

The pope called upon the negotiators at Camp David, explaining that only by placing international control over the holy city could free access to members of all faiths be guaranteed.

Anti-Christian Crusades of the 20th Century

by Bob Djurdjevic

Why Are Orthodox Christians the New World Order's Designated Victims?

During the original crusades, mediaeval Europeans tried to forcibly convert or kill non-Christians.  Nine centuries later, not much has changed.  The world is just as uncivilized now.  Only the tables have turned.  We are now witnessing pogroms against the Christians, especially the Orthodox Christians, the designated victims of the 20th century crusades.

As you saw in my last New Dawn column, nearly 200 million people have been killed by government actions alone in the last 100 years, according to a study by Prof. R.J. Rummell of the University of Hawaii.  More than 100 million of the victims were Christians.  A vast majority of those were Orthodox Christians.

But while the zeal to shed human blood is still here, a higher cause is missing in the 20th century edition of the crusades.  Early Christian crusaders sinned out of ignorance, blinded by the power of their beliefs, and manipulated by men with evil designs. The New World Order leaders are the men and women with evil designs. Their crimes are premeditated. They kill with their eyes wide open.  They snuff out innocent lives for money and power, while claiming “humanitarian” ideals.

What makes the anti-Christian crimes of the 1990s particularly heinous, perhaps even more repugnant than those of the Nazis, the Soviets or the Maoists, is that the New World Order leaders have no moral compass.  As I quoted in my Washington Times December 29, 1996 column, in reference to a Serb “opposition” politician, "(Zoran) Djindjic is close to Clinton as a postmodern politician. He really believes in "nothing."

"Close to Clinton . . . Believes in Nothing!" Now, that just about sums up the New World Order mantra.

Their creed is "I believe in nothing!"  Their crest: The Almighty Dollar. Their object of worship: The Golden Calf.  Their holy shrine: Wall Street.  Their holy water: Coca-Cola.  Their disciples: Washington politicians. 

In their world, everything is for sale.  Nothing is sacred.  Faceless uniformity and blind loyalty are the norm, as in communist dictatorships.   If God were to (re)create the world by the designs of the “Princes of the 20th Century” -- the multinationals who sit at the head table of the New World Order, there would be only three kinds of creatures:

  • All two-legged creatures would be ostriches
  • All four-legged ones would be sheep
  • All sea-living creatures would be sardines, anxiously waiting in long lines at the Princes' canning factory docks for their turn to jump into cans, and be exported to some distant low-cal, low-brow; low-IQ, but immensely happy consumer society. Thanks to a steady diet of CNN served with Coca-Cola.

By contrast, people who “believe in something;” who are proud of their uniqueness; who adhere to a strict moral code; who believe in trinity and laugh at the "menage à trois" -- people like that are the enemies of the New World Order.  They are the cogs in the Princes’ wheels.

Enter Orthodox Christians; the Serbs especially.  Why the Serbs first and foremost? Because they’ve always been Christianity’s frontiersmen.  And because they “believe.”  To the death!  Literally. 

Here’s, for example, an excerpt from ancient lore that every Serbian child sucks in with mother’s milk.  In this poem, God is addressing the Serbian king before the Battle of Kosovo on June 28, 1389:

"Prince Lazar of noble ancestry!
Which kingdom will you choose?
Will you choose the earthly kingdom?
Or you will choose the heavenly kingdom?
If you choose the heavenly kingdom …
All your army will perish,
And you, Oh Prince, will die with them …"

Prince Lazar answers God as follows:

"Dear God, the earthly kingdom lasts only a brief time,
But the heavenly kingdom is always and forever."

Prince Lazar and about 80,000 Serb knights and soldiers perished in that great battle fought on the Field of Blackbirds (the meaning of “Kosovo” in Serbian) 611 years ago.  But their noble and defiant spirit lives on… “always and forever.” 

It resurfaced again during the NATO bombing in 1999, when Belgrade residents, ordinary citizens, none of them regarding themselves as heroes …  guarded their bridges, night after night, with nothing but bare lives.  This writer had the privilege of joining them on the Brankov bridge one cold April night, and watching them sing and dance while staring death in the face.

That’s something materialistic, godless Western leaders may never understand.  For, that is a God-given power that only God-fearing people can muster.  NATO generals dismissed the Serb civilians as crazy.  But Belgrade residents did save their bridges.  NATO blinked, while staring God’s children in the face.

Fast forward to Szentendre, Hungary, May 2000 …

This picturesque little town on right bank of the Danube river, some 20 miles north of Budapest, is also home to no less than seven (!) imposing Serb Orthodox churches.  And to an unusual Serb museum in the heart of this predominantly Catholic Christian country. 

Serbs in northern Hungary?  Yes.  Even if there are only a handful of Serb families left, they still speak their ancestral language without a trace of an accent.  After more than 300 years in the Diaspora!

And how they get there?  Back in 1690, Bishop Arsenije Carnojevic (pronounced Charnoyevich), led more than 200,000 Serbs in what history has recorded as the “Great Exodus of Serbs” (“Velika Seoba Srba”).  To avoid the Ottoman Empire’s brutal repression and forcible Islamization (one of the “reverse Crusades”), all these people packed up their most precious possessions and left their ancestral homes in southern Serbia (Kosovo, Montenegro). 

These refugees were welcomed with open arms by their Christian brethren in Central Europe (Hungarians, Slovaks, Polacks, Germans, for example).  Szentendre was just one example.  Eventually these Serbs became the staunchest defenders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire against the Turkish invasions, and were given special status and privileges by Vienna and Budapest.

Now, what do you think were some of the “most precious possessions” the Serbs had lugged on ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, or on foot in 1690, across hundreds of miles of rugged Balkan mountains?

Their Orthodox Christian artifacts.  And the bones and memorabilia of their ancestors.

One of them was a 16th century six-foot tall cross that this writer saw and photographed at the Szentendre museum on May 1 of this year.  Another was a huge stone-carved column that was once a part of Prince Lazar’s palace in Kosovo, also photographed during the same visit. 

These ancient Serbs behaved just as did the 250,000 Krajina modern-day Serbs when “ethnically cleansed” with the help of the “international community” in 1995.  And as the more than 100,000 Sarajevo Serbs did in March 1996, after the New World Order “peace” arrived in Bosnia via Dayton. 

"The international community does not see the tears of Serbian mothers,” Gen. Ratko Mladic, wartime commander of the Bosnian Serb Army, told the NIN, a Belgrade weekly, in a March 1996 interview.  “I have not seen such awful and distressing scenes in my entire life...(as during the Sarajevo Serbs’ exodus).  Can you imagine meeting an old woman, half frozen, carrying a plastic bag, into which she had gathered up the bones of her son, killed in 1992?" (see “ The Woman Who Broke Gen. Mladic's Heart”).

When this writer left Serbia more than 30 years ago, at the height of godless communism in Tito’s Yugoslavia, among his “most prized possessions” that fitted into two old suitcases he brought to America was an Orthodox icon of St. Nicholas, a booklet with pictures of the Serb monasteries, and a written diary of the most important Serb traditions. 

As a young man, this writer was not particularly religious.  Yet something told him that when a Serb leaves “forever,” he must take his soul with him.  Or at least the Christian symbols of his soul. Just as his ancestors have been doing for centuries, unbeknownst to him at the time.

Since the New World Order leaders don’t want humans with souls and traditions around, only the "menage à trois"-type creatures, they react with venom against any proud people who refuse to submit to their “diktats.”

Over three years ago, responding to one of my Washington Times columns, a Truth in Media reader, a retired U.S. Army veteran who had served honorably in Vietnam, among other places, asked me, "I wonder what is also special about the Serbs that would make them the intended victims of the same leadership types in the NWO Cabal?"

I replied as follows:

"The Serbs were the easiest to kill or enslave among the Orthodox Christians. They are isolated and surrounded by enemies. There are only 10 million of them (vs. 780 million people in NATO countries). Plus, the Serbs are fierce freedom fighters. Beating them to a pulp would discourage rebellion against the New World Order by others later on. Also, the Serbs are the most "Western" of all Orthodox Christians.
 
The Greeks may be next. They are also isolated and surrounded by enemies. Plus, a smaller nation than even the Serbs. Notice that Bill Clinton has appointed Richard Holbrooke (the “Balkan Bully”) a special envoy to Cyprus? What Holbrooke did to the Serbs in Bosnia, he is likely to do to the Greeks on Cyprus .”

Sadly, this prophecy is now also coming true.  And not only in Cyprus. 

In late June, up to 800,000 people, according to some estimates, demonstrated in Athens against a new law that would prohibit religious affiliation to be shown on the Greek ID cards.  Some 98% of Greeks are Orthodox Christians.  The protest was organized and led by the church and led by Archbishop Christodoulos.

"Resist, my dear Christians," Archbishop Christodoulos told the cheering crowds on June 21. "The forces of globalization and religious marginalization are out to get us."

And who are the people behind some of these forces? They evidently include leaders of the American Jewish Committee, who came to Athens on March 12, 1999 to lobby against any religious affiliations being shown on the Greek ID cards. 

“Archbishop Christodoulos announced that not only he had long correspondence with this Committee, but its representatives also had visited him, as well as the Greek PM (Costas Simitis) on the same day,” Maria Dimitriadou, an Athens-based author and journalist, wrote to the Truth in Media in late June.

Judging by the size of the Athens protest and Archbishop’s feisty words, looks like this NWO foreign interference has had little effect on the Greek Orthodox Christians.

And what comes after Greece?  Here’s what I also wrote three years ago to that U.S. Army veteran:

“Killing, enslaving the Orthodox Christian Russia will take longer. But the process is already under way. The methods are the same. NATO is an "Iron Ring" around Russia's European neck. Islam will shackle her soft southern underbelly. China is supposed to finish the job from the east.
 
After the 250 million or so of Orthodox Christians are killed or enslaved, the Protestant Christians will become the next target of the NWO. They will be easier to kill or enslave than the Catholics. There are only 500 million Protestant adherents vs. over a billion Catholic ones.
 
Finally, the "NWO cabal," as you put it, will turn against the Catholics, too.
 
See a pattern? Like a pack of hungry wolves converging on unsuspecting animals, the NWO hyenas attack the weakest one first. Among the Christians, that was the Serbs. That's why the Serbs were the first victims. That's why they need/deserve support from other Christians around the world NOW -- before the others become too weak to help.
 
The NWO is a reverse (and more perverse) form of the Crusades. In fact, it is a revenge for the Crusades. It is a crusade against the Christians!
 
(Of course, in reality, things are not going to be happening serially, as described above, but in parallel -- with the above order of targets determining the NWO priorities. So the actual process may be faster than it seems)."

As NATO's Kosovo War has clearly demonstrated. 

In the case of Russia, however, the Orthodox Christian domination of that country could not have been avoided even in its shrunken form (147 million people).  Plus Russia still has enough nukes to incinerate the world.  And some of the world’s most advanced military technology. 

(Notice that the Chinese are doing all their shopping in Russia, and not in America?  And that even the U.S. Navy has ordered the Russian-made “Sunburn” missiles for its arsenals).

In other words, Russia is not to be messed with, even in its weakened state. 

So the New World Order leaders settled for a "salami" approach in Russia.  One slice at a time, they are "killing the Russians softly," by disease and starvation caused by western “reforms,” if not by bombs, as in the case of Serbia.  But as in the case of Serbia, also by inciting regional conflicts, such as in Chechnya or Dagestan.

"Only evil minds could have dreamed up such crimes against humanity,” I summed my 1997 message to the Truth in Media readers. “Which is why it's important for the Christians the world over to understand what awaits them next if they remain complacent; if the NWO is allowed to rule the world, as it has until now."

In short, what awaits them is -- conversion or extermination.  Just as during the ancient crusades.  Or during the “reverse crusades” (e.g., “Islamic Jihad”).

But power corrupts.  Empires crumble.  Usually from the rot within.  Sometimes, however, they bite the dust with a little “outside help,” too.  In the case of the New World Order neo-colonial empire, such “help” seems to be on its way.

Russia’s new president, Vladimir Putin, a born-again Christian after having saved his two young daughters from a fire at his St. Petersburg “dacha” (country home) three years ago, seems to understand what kind of “outside help” is needed. 

When Putin was nominated president on Dec. 31, 1999, he specifically asked for the Russian Patriarch Alexy's blessing during the three-month transitional period.  And he received it.  “He was the first politician who asked for the Holy Patriarch's blessing," a prominent Orthodox priest, who asked not to be identified, told the Moscow Times last January.  The cleric confirmed that Putin was a "believing Orthodox man."

Putin also made the sign of the cross and listened attentively during the televised Christmas service in the newly-reopened Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow (which Stalin had razed).  It was Orthodox Christmas Eve (Jan. 6, 2000), and Putin went straight to the essence of the Christian understanding of the holiday. 

"Why did Christ come into the world?" he said, apparently speaking without prepared text, or a teleprompter. "To liberate people from sickness, troubles, from death. In its essence, Christmas is a holiday of hope." 

Putin's remarks could have come straight from a sermon, the Moscow Times noted.

But having lifted a page from the “Book on Perfidy” the Princes had written, Putin is publicly presenting himself in the West as a “moderate” politician and an economic “reformer.”  Music to Wall Street ears.

At the same time, however, he is trying to divide the European Union, and is strengthening Russia’s military ties with “rogue” countries by the New World Order standards (China, North Korea, Iraq, Serbia…). 

In other words, Putin is putting Russia back on the world powers map.  And leading mankind toward a new multipolar world. 

Bad news for the 20th century crusaders.  Good news for Christians, though, especially Orthodox Christians, the designated victims of the New World Order.  Lest they think that one man can save them without themselves paying the price for freedom from the shackles of the anti-Christian crusaders.

Here is a "sneak preview" of an article by Bob Djurdjevic, American vs. Serbian “Demo Farce”, scheduled for publication in mid-September:
http://www.truthinmedia.org/Bulletins2000/tim2000-7-6.html

Lenin's Terror

". . . Here it must be pointed out that the Cheka was under the control of Jews, according to documents now available. Much of this was known already in 1925. The researcher Larseh wrote in his book "The Blood-Lust of Bolshevism" (Wurttemberg, p. 45) that 50 per cent of the Cheka consisted of Jews with Jewish names, 25 per cent were Jews who had taken Russian names. All the chiefs were Jews."

"Lenin was well informed about all those crimes. All of the documents were placed on his desk. Lenin answered: "Put more force into the terror . . . shoot every tenth person, place all the suspects in concentration camps!"

"The idea of "concentration camps" was not Hitler's invention, as many now believe. Actually, the first concentration camps were built in 1838 in the United States for Indians. This method of isolating people appealed also to other cruel rulers. In 1898 concentration camps were built in Cuba, where the Spaniards imprisoned all opposition elements. In 1901, the English used the same form of collective imprisonment during the Boer war, where the name "concentration camps" was also used. 26,000 Boer women and children starved to death in the British camps; 20,000 of them were under 16 years old. Lenin incarcerated people without any sentence, despite the establishment of revolutionary tribunals, as was the case in France under the Jacobins. Lenin actually claimed that the concentration camps were schools of labour (Mikhail Heller and Aleksandr Nekrich, doctors of history, "Utopia in Power", London, 1986, p. 67). Lenin also claimed that the factory was the workers' only school. They did not need any other education. He emphasised that anyone who could only do simple arithmetic could run a factory."

"Just like the terror of the Jacobins in France, the Jewish Bolshevik functionaries used to drown people in barges. Bella Kun (actually Aaron Kohn) and Roza Zemlyachka (actually Rozalia Zalkind) drowned Russian officers in this way in the Crimea in the autumn of 1920 (Igor Bunich, "The Party's Gold", St. Petersburg, 1992, p. 73). The unusually cruel Jewish Chekist Mikhail Kedrov (actually Zederbaum) drowned 1092 Russian officers in the White Sea in the spring of 1920."

"Lenin and his accomplices did not arrest just anyone. They executed those most active in society, the independent thinkers. Lenin gave orders to kill as many students as possible in several towns. The Chekists arrested every youth wearing a school cap. They were liquidated because Lenin believed the coming Russian intellectuals would be a threat to the Soviet regime (Vladimir Soloukhin, "In the Light of Day", Moscow 1992, p. 40). The role of the Russian intellectuals in society was taken over by the Jews. Many students (for example in Yaroslavl) learned quickly and hid their school caps. Afterwards, the Chekists stopped all suspect youths and searched their hair for the stripe of the school cap. If the stripe was found, the youth was killed on the spot."

"The author Vladimir Soloukhin revealed that the Chekists were especially interested in handsome boys and pretty girls. These were the first to be killed. It was believed that there would be more intellectuals among attractive people. Attractive youths were therefore killed as a danger to society. No crime as terrible as this has hitherto been described in the history of the world."

"The terror was coordinated by the Chekist functionary Joseph Unschlicht. How did they go about the murders? The Jewish Chekists flavoured murder with various torture methods. In his documentary "The Russia We Lost", the director Stanislav Govorukhin told how the priesthood in Kherson were crucified. The archbishop Andronnikov in Perm was tortured: his eyes were poked out, his ears and nose were cut off. In Kharkov the priest Dmitri was undressed. When he tried to make the sign of the cross, a Chekist cut off his right hand."

"Several sources tell how the Chekists in Kharkov placed the victims in a row and nailed their hands to a table, cut around their wrists with a knife, poured boiling water over the hands and pulled the skin off. This was called "pulling off the glove". In other places, the victim's head was placed on an anvil and slowly crushed with a steam hammer. Those due to undergo the same punishment the next day were forced to watch."

"The eyes of church dignitaries were poked out, their tongues were cut off and they were buried alive. There were Chekists who used to cut open the stomachs of their victims, following which they pulled out a length of the small intestine and nailed it to a telegraph pole and, with a whip, forced the unlucky victim to run circles around the pole until the whole intestine had been unravelled and the victim died. The bishop of Voronezh was boiled alive in a big pot, after which the monks, with revolvers aimed at their heads, were forced to drink this soup."

"Other Chekists crushed the heads of their victims with special headscrews, or drilled them through with dental tools. The upper part of the skull was sawn off and the nearest in line was forced to eat the brain, following which the procedure would be repeated to the end of the line. The Chekists often arrested whole families and tortured the children before the eyes of their parents, and the wives before their husbands."

"Mikhail Voslensky, a former Soviet functionary, described some of the cruel methods used by the Chekists in his book "Nomenclature" ("Nomenklatura" Stockholm, 1982, p. 321): "In Kharkov, people were scalped. In Voronezh, the torture victims were placed in barrels into which nails were hammered so that they stuck out on the inside, upon which the barrels were set rolling. A pentacle (usually a five-pointed star formerly used in magic) was burned into the foreheads of the victims. In Tsaritsyn and Kamyshin, the hands of victims were amputated with a saw. In Poltava and Kremenchug, the victims were impaled. In Odessa, they were roasted alive in ovens or ripped to pieces. In Kiev, the victims were placed in coffins with a decomposing body and buried alive, only to be dug up again after half an hour"."

"Lenin was dissatisfied with these reports and demanded: "Put more force into the terror!" All of this happened in the provinces. The reader can try to imagine how people were executed in Moscow."

"The Russian-Jewish newspaper Yevreyskaya Tribuna stated on the 24th of August 1922 that Lenin had asked the rabbis if they were satisfied with the particularly cruel executions."

". . . Returning to the Bolshevik terror: in order to control the people's hatred of their Jewish torturers and executioners, people suspected of having an anti-Semitic attitude were also executed. Those in possession of the book "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" were executed on the spot." Juri Lina, "Under the Sign of the Scorpion", Referent Publishing, Stockholm, 1998. p. 91-93). nl129
