Errors of Russia | WHY OUR LADY

ERRORS OF RUSSIA

In her third apparition at Fatima on July 13, 1917, Our Lady warned the three visionaries that if people did not stop offending God, He would punish the world “by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and of the Holy Father,” using Russia as His chosen instrument of chastisement. She told the children that “to prevent this, I shall come to ask for the Consecration of Russia to My Immaculate Heart” and promised that, by this single public act, Russia would be converted and peace would be given to the world. The Mother of God cautioned that if Her requests were not granted, “Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer and various nations will be annihilated.”

At the time of the message, many asked what were the errors the Virgin Mary predicted Russia would spread? It soon became evident that she was referring to the violent Bolshevik Revolution of October, 1917. The Bolsheviks seized power and installed a dictatorship in Russia, beginning with a series of “wars and persecution of the Church” spreading their communist/socialist ideology beyond Russia.

Thus, the “errors” that Russia would spread throughout the world were the errors of socialism and communism. There is no need to prove how Russia has spread its errors throughout the world: Communist regimes were established throughout Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. Socialist governments were installed in several European countries and around the world.

So how did this happen?

Socialism - Karl Marx (1818-1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820-1895)

The two leading theorists of socialism were Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, founders of the self-styled “scientific Socialism.” Engels claimed the three greatest obstacles to socialism were “private property, religion and this present form of (monogamous and indissoluble) marriage.” It is no wonder, therefore, that socialist parties around the world seek to pass laws that undermine these institutions as soon as they come to power. A good way to understand the socialist doctrine and mentality is to analyze why religion, marriage and private property are opposed to socialism.

Religion

Karl Marx explained his contempt for religion in his famous expression that religion is the “opium of the people.” His faithful devotee Lenin also developed “Religion is opium for the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man.”

In other words, religion leads men astray from the present struggle because it promises them the prospect of a future life. There is no doubt that true religion diverts men from social revolution, but not from the fight for the implementation of a true civilization, which is the Christian civilization, as Saint Pius X declared.

There are other reasons why religion is so opposed to socialism. First, the transcendent character of religion is incompatible with the socialist’s secularist and materialistic worldview. In socialism, the universe is nothing but matter. God, the soul and the next life are only mirages. Thus, seeking complete happiness in this life is man’s only concern. With the help of science, socialists hold that all must strive toward the largest possible amount of pleasure and avoid any effort or suffering. As a result, all obstacles to happiness must be removed, be they religious, moral or cultural.

This view leads to atheism, and moral and cultural relativism. They believe that there are no absolute truths or revealed morals that establish immutable standards of conduct that apply to everyone, everywhere and always. Everything evolves, thus right and wrong, good and evil depend on the socio-economic development of mankind. Evolution is another of the main tenets of socialism.

The assertion of an infinite, omnipotent and omniscient God clashes with the principle of absolute equality. It must therefore be rejected. Indeed, what greater inequality is there than that between the Creator and simple creatures?

Moreover, the affirmation of Divine Providence that feeds the “birds of the air” and clothes the “lilies of the field” and has much greater solicitude than men (cf. Matt. 6:26-30) goes against the State’s ideology as the supreme provider and distributor of all goods and services. In fact, for socialists, everything must be planned by government agencies. There is no place for charity, since it affirms the principle of inequality and is thus unworthy of rational beings.

Family

There are many reasons why socialism is incompatible with the family.

First, socialist ideology considers sex to be a physiological function like any other. Consequently, there is no reason to restrict it to marriage, and even less to the “present form of marriage,” that is, a monogamous and indissoluble marriage between one man and one woman. Therefore, socialism is incompatible with the institution of monogamous and indissoluble marriage, which is the very foundation for the Christian family and of every family according to natural law.

After attacking marriage, socialism further removes the education of children from the parents’ hands, making it a function of the State. This is a very logical consequence of socialist doctrine. If socialism seeks to impose absolute equality, it must first remove unequal education, which is considered to be a universal source of social inequality. This can only be done by making education the State’s responsibility.

The family, by its very nature, clashes with the egalitarian mentality inherent in socialism. The family is necessarily formed of members who are diverse in age, development and capacities. On other grounds, the family is a center of authority and dedication, albeit restricted to its members. Thus, the socialists argue that the family undermines the authority of the state and deviates energies for “selfish end” that should be used for the benefit of the community.

It is true, in the psychological field, that man’s nature leads him to establish more direct links with certain things and closer relationships with certain people. Owning property or having a family is a condition or state that give the individual a sense of fulfillment. Living alone, without family or property, in a crowd of strangers, gives a feeling of emptiness, anonymity and isolation that is profoundly unnatural for man. On the other hand, the fulfillment that comes from family support and private ownership grants security and makes the person averse to state control and socialist collectivism.

Private Property

Practically speaking, there is nothing more contradictory to socialism than private property. For that reason, Marx and Engels state in their Communist Manifesto, “the theory of the communists (socialists) may be summed up in the single sentence: the abolition of private property.”

Besides abolition of private property, Engels and Marx also proposed a heavy progressive income tax; abolition of all rights of inheritance; centralizing the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state; and factories and production owned by the state and the cultivation of wastelands to achieve their goal.

As a consequence, socialism reflects the wage earning system as unjust because the employer, based on the right of private property, “exploits workers,” demanding for himself part of the product of their work, which should be entirely theirs.

As already mentioned, one of the ten measures put forward by Marx and Engels to achieve communism is “Abolition of all rights of inheritance.” This is a consequence of the rejection of private property. To achieve the complete abolition of private property, inheritance has to be abolished or so heavily taxed as to discourage widespread ownership.

Total Incompatibility Between Socialism and the Church’s Doctrine

The final conclusion could not be clearer: Socialism is incompatible with Catholic doctrine because of its conception of the universe and man. Finally, it seeks to destroy the pillars of Christian civilization, i.e., the family and private property.

This finding has real practical significance. Proposed measures often seem more “moderate” when labeled socialist. Actually, by knowing what socialism really teaches, one can show how they are harmful to the family, private property rights, free initiative, legitimate interests, and the true freedom of God’s children. Thus, Catholics need to have clear ideas about the socialist ideology and its degrees of application. They must see that even so-called “moderate socialism” is incompatible with Catholic doctrine and natural law. They must not be fooled into thinking that socialist initiatives are harmless or open to compromise.

Catholics must especially bear in mind Pope Pius XI’s warning:

Socialism... cannot be reconciled with the teachings of the Catholic Church because its concept of society itself is utterly foreign to Christian truth....

...Religious Socialism, Christian Socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.

Pope Pius XI also said that Russia was more sinned against than sinning in the Revolution of 1917; that the “errors of Marxism” originated in the West. This is a story in itself worth understanding when studying the “errors of Russia”.

At the same time Our Lady was appearing at Fatima, Portugal, in 1917, revolutionaries were planning the overthrow of the Russian monarchy to establish a movement that would institutionalize blasphemy against God.

Communism - Lenin (1917-1924) and Stalin (1922-1953) and successors

The Russian Revolution

Russia, in the minds of most people, is the originator of communism -- thought mainly to be an economic system competing with capitalism. However, when we really comprehend communism, the spread of Russia’s errors becomes easily recognizable. Too few people understand what is meant by Russia’s errors, so this paper has been prepared to help in understanding the term as well as the impact that Russia’s errors have had on the world.

In April, 1917, Lenin returned to Russia after years of exile in Switzerland. He brought with him about three dozen fellow revolutionaries. A throng of workers, soldiers, and sailors turned out to welcome him home. Lenin promised land for peasants, food for all, and the withdrawal of Russia from the war. Backed up by radicalized workers and members of the military, in November, 1917, one month after the final apparition at Fatima, Lenin and his Bolsheviks seized power in Russia and the communists launched a massive persecution of the Church in their zeal to wipe out belief in God and the practice of religion in the Soviet Union and later in Eastern Europe and China.

Lenin adopted an empire-wide program of oppression, violence, and terror, which he called “revolutionary justice.” He mocked the idea of democratic government and assumed absolute power. Lenin became a Communist tsar. He formed a new secret police called the Cheka that executed anyone suspected of opposing the revolution. Between 1918 and 1922, the Cheka killed tens of thousands; the exact number is not known. In 1918 Lenin ordered the construction of the first forced labor camp, large enough to hold up to 20,000 prisoners that ranged from political dissidents to religious believers. His government confiscated private property, then looted and destroyed countless churches and monasteries. With Lenin’s full approval, Bolsheviks murdered aristocrats, wealthy merchants, successful peasant farmers, and Christians, Jews, and Muslims, both laity and clergy. After a little more than a year in power, Lenin personally ordered the slaughter of Tsar Nicholas, his wife, and their five children. From Russia, Lenin’s successors exported their revolution to nations around the periphery of the old Russian Empire. Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, East Gernamy Lithuania, Estonia, and the little republics known collectively as Yugoslavia. Even such far-off lands as Kazakhstan and Tajikistan -- 22 nations in all -- fell to what became known as the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc. And in every place they occupied, the children of Lenin brought in a system of brutal repression, hopeless poverty, and aggressive atheism that manifested itself in the cruel persecution of Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, and Muslims.

When Stalin decided in 1932 to eliminate millions of Ukrainians in the genocide of Holodomor, he planned a famine as an instrument of social engineering, through which to nationalize agricultural lands and then allocate the profits to industry. Stalin wrote: “In order to eliminate the Kulaks as a class, the policy of limiting and eliminating single groups of Kulaks is not enough...it is necessary to break the resistance of this class with an open battle and to deprive it of the economic sources of its existence and development. (Josef Stalin, Questioni di leninismo, Rome, 1945).

Stalin then had wheat, beets, potatoes, vegetables, and every sort of food seized; he forbade any sort of commerce and confiscated the financial resources of the Ukrainians. Children fleeing the countryside were arrested and deported to collective farms called “kolkhozes” and to orphanages, where they died from malnutrition. The Central Committee prohibited movement - a sort of lockdown ante litteram - and accused those who denounced the massacre of the Ukrainians of being the enemy of the people. Holodomor deniers - using the term in its proper sense - maintain that the genocide of 1932-33 in the Soviet Ukraine never happened or that it occurred without premeditation. The regime’s ownership contributed to hiding a tragedy that today is recognized by many countries as a crime against humanity and that, upon analysis of its method and goal, was also an example of a “Great Reset.”

The Frankfurt School Spreads Russia’s Errors

During the 20th Century, the ‘Errors of Russia’ (Communism and Marxism) were propagated throughout the West. Instrumental in this effort was the Institute for Social Research (I.S.R.), a Communist think-tank. Founded in 1923 in Germany, the I.S.R. was initially funded by the Communist International (Comintern). In subsequent decades, the I.S.R. was bankrolled by many of the groups and organizations which support globalization, depopulation, and the ‘new world order”, which effectively consists of a tyrannical oligarchy controlling every government, all international finance, and promoting one creedless religion (ecumenical toleration).

Among the founders of I.S.R., popularly known as the Frankfurt School, were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. These men truly had diabolically perverse minds; yet the world has touted them as expert sociologists, psychologists, and ‘sexologists.’ These men realized that Communism as an economic and political system was severely limited. It simply could not achieve world dominance. Their evil genius recognized that what was needed was a cultural Marxism to permeate every facet of society. Thus, they set out to influence governments, mass media, popular culture, the arts, educational systems, and the family (the basic unit of society). Only when every element in society became Marxist in principle - even if not in name - could their illusory “man-made paradise without God” cover the face of the earth.

Therefore, the Frankfurt School spearheaded a revolution based on culture, morality, and religion. They strove to destroy traditional secular values and religious standards so as to create a vacuum that would be filled by an atheistic, materialist, and secular worldview. Using Hegel’s dialectic they created conflict between groups, convincing large swaths of people that they were oppressed and needed to rebel against the establishment.

Favoring all kinds of perversion, Herbert Marcuse included homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals as ‘oppressed’ groups. Adding Georg Lukacs’ radical sex education produced cultural Marxism, more commonly known in the West as multiculturalism. The Frankfurt School further intensified this cultural revolution by including Theodor Adorno’s notion that Christianity, capitalism, and traditional family values all originate in and foster racism. According to them, anyone who admires or embraces Western Civilization (i.e., Christendom) or even upholds America’s traditional moral values and institutions is racist. They go so far as to claim that since racism is inherent to America’s traditional culture, “then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.

To achieve cultural Marxism, the Frankfurt School first sought to infiltrate institutions of higher learning and coopt academicians. Ideas shape the future, and academic thinkers regularly forge the ideas which influence society a couple of generations later.

Next, they targeted the arts, music, art, literature, architecture, etc. All use the ideal of beauty to elevate man’s soul to God. But if the chosen ideal is devoid of beauty, which speaks to man’s soul existing beyond the material, then men will only focus on the natural goods of this earth and forget their supernatural end. As the Frankfurt School saw it: “The purpose of modern art, literature, and music must be to destroy the uplifting potential of art, literature, and music, so that man, bereft of his connection to the divine, sees his only creative option to be political revolt.

Perhaps most importantly, the Frankfurt School sought to infiltrate all forms of media - i.e., newspapers, radio, television, movies, and later the Internet. When their leaders arrived in the United States in the 1930’s, they found a society ripe for cultural Marxism. But before World War II, their influence was mostly limited to academia and radio. However, in the fifteen years after the war, America “saw the domination of family life by the radio and television shaped by the Frankfurt School”, it being a period of political turmoil.

Possibly the most significant of the Frankfurt School’s successes was “the shaping of the electronic media of radio and television into the powerful instruments of social control which they represent today - in other words, shaping ‘public opinion’. Especially today, the mass media, smartphones always within reach, and a myriad of addictive social-media platforms are used to ‘manipulate the population’, to ‘brainwash’ the people into uncritically accepting whatever the ‘powers that be’ want them to believe. This is true of virtually every controversial issue in the public spotlight in recent years, especially regarding COVID-19 and political elections:

“The technique of mass media and advertising developed by the Frankfurt School now effectively controls American political campaigning. Campaigns are no longer based on political programs, but actually on alienation. Petty gripes and irrational fears are identified... Issues that will determine the future of our civilization, are scrupulously reduced to photo opportunities and audio bites... where the dramatic effect is maximized.”

In 1933, the National Socialists came to power in Germany. It was a bad time and place to be a Jewish Marxist, as was most of the school’s faculty. So, the school moved to New York City, the bastion of Western culture at the time.

In 1934, the Frankfurt School was reborn at Columbia University. Its members began to exert their ideas on American culture. It was at Columbia University that the school honed the tool it would us to destroy Western culture: the printed word. The school published a lot of popular material. The first of these was Critical Theory. Critical Theory is a play on semantics. The theory was simple: criticize every pillar of Western culture--the family, democracy, common law, freedom of speech, and others. The hope was that these pillars would crumble under the pressure. Next was a book Theodor Adorno co-authored, The Authoritarian Personality. It redefined traditional American views on gender roles and sexual mores as “prejudice”. Adorno compared them to the traditions that led to the rise of fascism in Europe. Is it just a coincidence that the go-to slur for the politically correct today is “fascist”?

The 1960’s Counterculture: Perversion and Attacks Against the Family

The cultural situation in the 1960’s was fully exploited by the Frankfurt School to advance Marxism. In fact, the “founding document of the 1960’s counterculture... was Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization, originally published in 1955 and funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

The counterculture of the 1960’s entailed more than a revolution of “free love” which destabilized the basic unit of society - the family. Over time, it led to all the sorts of general moral decay and the perversions and movements seen in the decades to follow, and especially today: drug addiction, pornography, prostitution, contraception, abortion, feminism, emasculation and effeminacy of men, homosexuality, pedophilia, and now transgenderism (bestiality is next). These perversions are ultimately all the result of the Frankfurt School’s efforts to create a ‘new barbarism’.

Why was the Frankfurt School so intent on ‘liberating’ the sensual side of man? Because by encouraging lust, the Marxist knows that man’s intellect is darkened and he succumbs to his baser instincts. Man is then far more easily manipulated, brainwashed, and controlled. Moreover, man’s passions can only be controlled internally by virtue or externally by force. Thus, a lustful society tends towards greater irrationality and violence. The Marxist can in turn more easily seize dictatorial power under the false guise of protecting “safety, health, and the common good.”

Understand this well: all these moral perversions - vigorously advocated by Marxists and globally rampant today - stand at the forefront of the ‘Errors of Russia”.

More Russia’s Errors: Political Correctness and Related Movements

The Frankfurt School and its adherents also propagated the corresponding errors of political correctness, Critical Theory, Wokeism, and cancel culture. In essence, these Marxist-inspired movements are forms of psychological bullying, imposing on society a uniform way of thinking by all people. “They are the psycho-political battering rams by which Frankfurt School disciples such as the ACLU are forcing Americans to submit to and to obey the will and the way of the left.”

Political correctness is a diabolical idea in which people must not only be nonjudgmental but must also embrace the ‘new’ moral absolutes: diversity, choice, sensitivity, sexual orientation, and tolerance... Its purpose is the imposition of uniformity in thought, speech, and behavior.

Critical Theory rejects the idea that the rules of existing society are natural and inevitable. Instead, it insists that people must be allowed to enjoy full freedom in regard to thought and ideas, and that the ‘enlightened’ individual be free from societal norms, but that the ‘enlightened mind’ be properly controlled.

Wokeism seeks to silence all who disagree with the Marxists’ four primary principles: Anti-white racism disguised as social justice; rejection of traditional morality by promoting sexually-deviant lifestyles (e.g., homosexuality and transgenderism): environmentalism based upon the notion that it is possible and desirable to stop climate change; and intense hostility toward Christianity, which they accuse of being patriarchal, intolerant, and oppressive.

Similarly, ‘cancel culture’ is a form of exclusion (or censorship) in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles - whether online, on social media, or in person - and is said to have been “canceled”. Cancel culture constitutes a form of boycotting or shunning an individual who is deemed to have ‘broken the rules’ by acting or speaking in a disagreeable manner - i.e., one who is not ‘politically correct’. Another element of ‘cancel culture’ is labeling anything originating in Western Civilization as enlightened, discriminatory, and evil. Hence, not only should it not be studied and preserved, but all the related historical truths and cultural traditions ought to be actively destroyed (i.e. canceled).

All of these tools were used by the Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution. They have repeatedly and consistently been employed by every group that embraces Marxism. Today they have simply been “re-packaged” and updated for “modern man”. The terms may be new and innovative but they represent the same methods of intimidation and control so deftly used by Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro. Now they are at the beck and call of nearly every global leader.

The Frankfurt School has promoted the ‘errors of Russia’ precisely in order to enable Communism to take over nations. People don’t think of these as ‘errors of Russia’, but they are necessary tools used by Marxist atheism to promote its agenda. Thus the Communists have essentially taken over the United States (and Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom...) without firing a shot.

Communist Goals for the United States

Source: “Our Naked President” by Bill Siegel dated July 2, 2015)

In 1958, Cleon Skousen, a former FBI Special Agent, published a book, The Naked Communist, which listed the then current communist goals for infiltrating, transforming, and ultimately taking over the United States. A hero to some, fringe writer to others, Skousen had a perspective both fascinating and shocking to reexamine today in light of recent events including those concerning the Iranian nuclear “negotiation”, gay marriage, Obamacare, power grabs of both Presidents Obama and Vladimir Putin, the advance of Islam, the support for illegal immigration, the ubiquitous charge of “racism”, the endless expansion of “civil rights”, and the dismantling of our Constitution.

Of the 45 goals in Skousen’s list, some obviously do not fit today’s changed circumstances while others are far more devastating than originally fathomed. Still, the entire list is provided to furnish proper context. Repeated as read into the Congressional record in 1963, the goals below speak for themselves to show how Obama, Valerie Jarrett (herself from a family with various communist associations) and fellow comrades have advanced a great deal of this decades-old vision.

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions or the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy making positions.

21. Gain control in key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion.

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man”.

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture”.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to evolve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

We are living in Fatima Time

The message of Fatima remains urgently relevant today as new manifestations of Russia’s errors in the form of “new-Marxism” are spreading like a malevolent virus, infecting all the major institutions in the U.S.

Abortion

Beyond communism, another of Russia’s errors, abortion, has spread throughout the world. Abortion was first legalized in Russia in 1920 and to this day Russia has the highest abortion rate in the world per capita, with well over a million abortions per year. Geoffrey Strickland, J.D., J.C.L,, who serves as the Rome Office Director for Priests for Life, shares about the roots of abortion in the former Soviet Union: ”...history attests to the fact that Russia spread her errors throughout the world... through the single greatest error of our time: abortion.” Russia was the first country ever to legalize abortion up to birth without restriction and also developed and promulgated technology to this end. Russia and areas formerly controlled by the Soviet Union have the highest abortion rate in the world. Further, those countries sharing in the political and ideological legacy of Russia at that time such as China, Cuba and others continue to carry on this violent imperative.

Russia’s error of abortion later spread to the United States with the legalization of abortion in 1973. Strickland writes: “Thus ‘various nations’ - the innumerable children of every race, creed and culture - have been ‘annihilated’ through the fundamental error of abortion and the faulty logic behind it, namely that a human child is not a human being.”

From Red to Green

As it is generally known, the Soviet dictatorial government committed a multitude of crimes against humanity. More than 100 million deaths were attributed to communism. They controlled much of the people’s liberties resulting in a sub-standard way of living, loss of private property ownership, loss of religious freedom and the practice of radical egalitarianism, among many other atrocities. Eventually, when the Soviet Union collapsed in December of 1991, the Free World breathed a sigh of relief. At last, Soviet communism as they knew it had come to and end. Keen and realistic observers, however, believed all along, that what actually happened in 1991 was not the end of communism but “a metamorphosis of the revolutionary process, not its extinction.”

Vaclav Klaus, the first president of the Czech Republic after the end of Soviet dictatorship, warned that “Celebrating the end of communism is inappropriate. It is creeping back in different forms under different flags and slogans.” He continues, “As someone who lived under communism for most of my life, I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and property at the beginning of the 21st century, is not communism or its various versions. It was replaced by ambitious environmentalism.”

The collapse of the Soviet Union showed the world the disastrous failure of hardline communism practiced for almost seven decades. In view of this debacle, communists had to hide their failed ideology and emerge in a different form. Under the green flag of the environmental movement, communism crept in.

Stop Human Population Growth, Save the Polar Bears

As history has shown, Communism has no problem with eliminating millions of human lives by any means, the Soviet Union being the first to legalize abortion. Today, the green movement wants us to believe that human overpopulation is the cause of environmental and economic catastrophe. They declare that more humans are bad for the planet and therefore they push for population control. Even with legalized abortions, which includes late-term abortions and at-birth in some states, the green movement is still not satisfied. Instead, it is more concerned with preserving the polar bear, the spotted owl populations and other species.

The human population in 2019 is 7.6 billion. The green movement is concerned that the planet cannot support human population growth, and it wants to restrict or even prohibit the legitimate use of God’s creation to feed mankind. But, it is a fact that the entire world’s population could fit in the state of Texas with 1,000 square feet allotted per person and that food production and other resources needed to support the earth’s human population is adequate.

Environmentalism and Socialism

Disinformation is one tool communists often use to deceive the West. One of the great Soviet deceptions is the idea that humans were changing the climate and that humans could save the earth through socialism. The late Natalie Grant Wrage, a recognized Soviet expert who advised the U.S. State Department on Soviet deception wrote: “Protection of the environment has become the principal tool for attack against the West and all it stands for. Protection of the environment may be used as a pretext to adopt a series of measures designed to undermine the industrial base of developed nations. It may also serve to introduce malaise by lowering their standard of living and implanting communist values.”

...One of the prime movers of global environmental initiatives once said, “Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our duty to bring that about?”

Environmentalism and Pantheism

Communists do not believe in a supreme, all-wise, all provident Divine Being, distinct from the universe. Theirs is a pantheistic view that God is identical with the nature of things, and is therefore subject to change.

Many in the green movement want to introduce an earth-based religion to solve the world’s problems. They believe that the earth is a living organism, a deity, an “earth spirit.” Former Vice-President Al Gore, who has been a vocal environmentalist, wrote in his book, Earth in the Balance, that “Our religious heritage is based on a single earth goddess who is assumed to be the foundation of all life... all men have a god within. Each man has a god within because creation is a God.”

It is important to be aware of the dangers of the environmental movement in all its forms and to learn why its socialistic agenda will ultimately lead to communism.

The Great Reset

The lie is the consistent mark of the architects of the various Great Resets of the last few centuries. The Protestant Pseudo-Reformation was a Great Reset, which struck at Europe’s unity of faith creating a laceration whose disastrous consequences are still seen today. The French Revolution was a Great Reset, as was the Italian Risorgimento, as well as the Russian Revolution. The two World Wars were Great Resets, along with the Industrial Revolution, the Revolution of 1968, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Each time, if you notice, the apparent reason for these revolutions was a lie and never corresponded to the real one.

Now, no matter the publication or venue, the phrase The Great Reset seems to be popping up more and more. It should be taken seriously because the goal of the Great Reset is to:

· end national sovereignty,

· end personal liberty,

· end freedom of religion,

· implement a digital currency,

· end borders,

· eliminate private property,

· implement more vaccines which actually alter our DNA,

· push a global tax for climate change administered as a new slush fund by government,

· allow mass migration to the West,

· and make everyone a slave to the state - and much more.

The plan has been around now for years, but for the 2020 U.S. Presidential pre and post-election time frame, it is in full force for the control of America’s future. It is now everywhere - front and center. The globalists are the people behind the curtain who have planned this for years.

Many have written on the goals of the global elite in the last number of years. The internet has enabled people to get educated on a subject as fast as they want, and as thoroughly as they want on just about anything. That has been a game changer for those without power and influence. But the swamp masters will not go down without a fight because they think long term, and never quit. Policies to them is just a minor obstacle to work around no matter who holds office. Controlling currency controls public policy, and their primary agenda is to control political finance for their chosen public policies.

The global elite feel the end is in sight and their goal is now within grasp. They are now in the open and forthright about their agenda. They have taken control of financial institutions, the mainstream press, NGO’s, the judiciary, government agencies and personnel mainly at the SES (Senior Executive Service) level in the United States Government. They also have a very large percentage of the institutional churches of all denominations under their control.

With the coronavirus pandemic, the global elite (George Soros, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab) little by little told us that isolation, lockdowns, masks, curfews, ‘live-streamed’ Masses, ‘distance-learning’, ‘smart-working’, recovery funds, vaccines, and ‘green passes’ would permit us to come out of the emergency, and, believing in this lie, we renounced the rights and lifestyles that they warned us would never return: ‘Nothing will ever be the same again.’ The spread of 5G technology, which in many countries has gone unnoticed due to the lockdowns, will allow population tracking by means of apps or a subcutaneous chip in constant connection with the internet.

Finally, in order to make the assault complete, the global elite increased illegal immigration thanks to our “humanitarian” foundations and NGO’s, thereby increasing crime, diverting funds from citizens that are earmarked instead towards dealing with immigration costs. Their presence allows the inexorable break up of the social and religious fabric of nations, in the name of “welcoming” and leveraging the sense of guilt, the danger of racism and do-good rhetoric that they have even succeeded in getting the Catholic Church to accept.

The global elite’s overall plan has been to create fear of an “invisible enemy”, then to make make people believe that the salvation of the world depends on vaccines, then to blackmail billions of human beings by telling them if they want to return to some form of loosening of restrictions that have been imposed they must accept the “green pass” in order to travel abroad, go to the stadium, or go shopping.

And finally, the plan is for the masses to put out their hands to have a subcutaneous chip implanted that will then be needed not only for COVID, but as well for electronic payments in place of cash so that “No one could buy or sell unless he had the mark” (Rev 13:17).

And even if the pandemic farce does not have the desired effects due to unforeseen events, the Global Elites will have the climate emergency ready as the pretext for imposing “ecological transition” and “sustainable development.” Or even another conflict (Ukraine?) which the Global Elites believe will sow panic among the population that believes everything the mainstream media tells them - no matter how absurd and irrational it may be. If you see it on television, it must be true!

Heaven Has a Reset Plan

During Our Lady’s last apparition at Fatima on October 13, 1917, she gave us an event unparalleled in Church History, the most momentous and important event of our time. Many believe that this Miracle of the Sun was the end of the Fatima story, yet the story is still unfolding to this day.

As incredible as it may seem, 2021 was an even more dramatic and challenging year than 2020. Nature is clearly disturbed, as evidenced by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the globe. Unrest and popular demonstrations blanket many nations. The terrible specter of war hangs over the world. Popular democratic elections are now suspect. Healthcare practices and hospital protocols are seriously questioned. Many worry about job security. Increasingly despotic governments severely restrict personal freedoms. The ability to ask questions, to discuss and debate objective evidence, or to challenge the predominant narrative has been canceled. It seems that Satan is everywhere!

Yet, where Satan abounds, grace abounds all the more. The Blessed Mother has been battling the cohort of evil with the host of Heaven for millennia. Now we are in the time of the Mother. She is prophetess of the New Times, and her role as the Woman Clothed with the Sun (Revelation 12:1) is now. The time before her appearance is a time of great turmoil of all kinds in the world (Rev 11:19). We are in those times now. As Queen Esther interceded to save her people before the king, so too the Blessed Mother will intervene in the affairs of mankind as she has done at countless apparition sites globally. She has not come for tea and crumpets, but for battle with Saint Michael at her side. She has the cohort of Heaven behind her, which is why she has been appearing at Medjugorje since June 25, 1981, and all over the world. Heaven knows with its infinite wisdom why mankind needs her messages like never before. She doesn’t make a move without the endorsement and Will of the Father. Those who are detractors of her messages need to deeply ponder why this grace is rejected.

What we are looking at with the confluence of events at the supernatural and preternatural level is Heaven’s own version of a Global Reset Plan. As Our Blessed Mother said at Medjugorje: “I have a great plan for the salvation of mankind...” , and as she said at Fatima: “... in the end, My Immaculate Heart shall triumph”, The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart is the ultimate Global Reset. Exactly how, and when is not known, but come it will.

What does the Lord require of you?

To act justly, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8)

Quote from Thomas Michael from the Fatima Center: “Our Lord promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. He also promised that He and the Holy Ghost will remain with and guide the Church for all ages. If, amidst this great trial and suffering akin to possession, Catholics remain faithful to the Church, they will also share in the victory and glory that is destined to come with the great Marian age of renewal and peace”.
