<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>I'm dead tired of talking about the "threat" and the "atrocities" committed by Nazism. When are we going to seriously address the Satanic crimes of Communism?<br><br>Nazism is dead - they lost the war. Communism on the other hand is alive and well - they WON the war but they never stopped there; the war continued and is presently raging all over the world. America is totally subverted by Communism. Should we not be addressing the global, physical, mental and spiritual threat of Communism?<br><br>Communism was and is still a Judaic/Zionist conspiracy. The Nazis decided to fight them on the Communists' terms and they fought not just for their own survival but for the survival of all Europe and the Germans - and Europe - LOST. Hence Europe's and all Western civilization's and the world's present, unprecedented degeneration, corruption and spiritual decay.<br><br>The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression By Stephane Courtois, Mark Kramer (Translator), Jonathan Murphy (Translator), Karel Bartosek, Andrzej Paczkowski, Jean-Louis Panne, Jean-Louis Margolin (Contributors); Introduction to the U.S. edition by Martin Malia Published by Harvard University Press, 1999 Originally published in France, 1997<br><br>Reviewed by Claire Wolfe<br><br>Examining the photos and reading their captions in The Black Book of Communism, you might expect the surrounding 700+ pages to contain a wail of outrage. The photos, though few, are as graphic and heart-rending as the worst from Nazi Germany.<br><br>But the text is no impassioned partisan cry. It's something more powerful than that; it's the facts. The Black Book has been called a catalog, an indictment, a prosecutorial manual against Communist crimes. It is a simply a dispassionate account - article after article - of the history of Communist power. Beginning with Leninist terror policies and concluding with the starvation produced by Afrocommunism, the historians of The Black Book list the events, tally the numbers, describe the conditions, name the names.<br><br>Their conclusion:<br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>* USSR: 20 million deaths * China: 65 million deaths * Vietnam: 1 million deaths * North Korea: 2 million deaths * Cambodia: 2 million deaths * Eastern Europe: 1 million deaths * Latin America: 150,000 deaths * Africa: 1.7 million deaths * Afghanistan: 1.5 million deaths * Communist movements or parties not in power: about 10,000 deaths<br><br>Nearly 100 million deaths. Not casualties of war, but civilian slaughter. Deaths in gulags and concentration camps. Deaths from a bullet to the head. Most of all, deaths by starvation - the result either of planned famines, meted out as punishment to internal foes (as in Stalin's USSR), or unintended consequences of central policy.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>American historian R.J. Rummell has tallied similar figures in his book Death by Government. But The Black Book is different in that 1) it focuses on death and terror in Communist regimes only 2) many of its contributors were (or are still) members of the left and 3) this book touched off an international storm when it was first published in France.<br><br>The "crime" of revealing Communist crimes<br><br>Why would this scholarly book - with its "just the facts, Ma'm" approach and its extensively documented claims - ignite a firestorm?<br><br>Partly it is because many crimes of Communism have gone unexamined, due both to bias among the intelligentsia and lack of access to archives of Communist countries. As such, this book is a shock to those who haven't been paying attention.<br><br>Partly it is that in Europe, and France especially, it is still chic to identify oneself as a Communist or Socialist. This book is an embarrassment and a shame to those who have practiced "ideological self-deception."<br><br>---------------------<br><br>You want to play a numbers game? Fine:<br><br>100 million. And yes, they were mostly belivers in God; mainly Christians and Muslims.<br><br>I should add that the USSR figures are VERY conservative, cautious estimates. The real USSR figures are closer to 60 million.<br><br>Check out the EU, A Monster thread, watch the film The Bloody History of Communism, read a thread about how the Allies treated German POWs AFTER the war, not to mention the main thread on CC about Communism and who was and is behind it, GULAG&Communism Still Operational.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.clubconspiracy.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2411&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=0&PHPSESSID=708ed57c298b4035c07124c243d9744a" target="top">linky</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v709/raichu4u/wiggle.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>
