sign the Prague declaration and defend freedom
Modern Westerners have been brain-washed into tolerating communism — something most Russians, Poles or Czechs, for example, would never do. Many of the older ones have lived through the murders of up to 20 million. They know what this barbaric system is and freely condemn it.
Thus only ignorance makes us tolerant of communism, which killed over 100 million people (not to mention the unborn) to Hitler’s 6 million.
Yet, despite the heavy loss of life and freedom, a history lesson etched in the hearts of all who witnessed it first hand, in the US today, anyone identified as anti-communist risks being labeled a McCarthyite nut. We’re clearly supposed to trivialize communism to get along. In Germany, you can even go to jail and face a heavy fine for saying in public that the communists killed more people than Hitler, because that is considered by some judges to be “trivializing the holocaust.” Obviously, the German government got it backwards. It is no exaggeration to say that the worst holocaust of the 20th century by far happened in Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China (up to 70 million dead), Pol Pot’s Cambodia (about one-third of the population killed) and other communist countries, and is still happening in Kim Jong Il’s North Korea.
Despite the facts of history, it is a risky thing to stand up in the Western world and denounce communism because the Left has infiltrated our education system, entertainment world, media, universities and almost every facet of our lives. The fact is, by denouncing communism, we are practically denouncing most Western governments, which practice wealth distribution, and that makes the elite ruling class very nervous.
Yet if we don’t denounce communism for what it is, we will lose our freedoms, the way the Germans did.
So please sign this petition to defend what is left of freedom:
And never be intimidated into being quiet.
Dare to say it now out loud: Communism is an evil system and I reject it.
And finally, remember that the initiators of the system called it by its near-synonym: socialism. Neither is a good system for a free people.

Communism never more.

Communism, Capitalism, Socialism, Denocracy, Republic, Monarchy? It matters not a jot! ‘Better a bad system, run by good people, than a good system run by bad people’. In Britain we have a bad system, run by VERY bad people! ‘Perfidious Albion’ was never more so than now. Norman Scarth, West Yorkshire, England. enscarth@hotmail.com

Hello Norman,
This is true. Our main problem, though, is that we are told we have a free market system when we do not. We have corporatism, also known as fascism, and we call it “free market.” And in Europe you have a communist system of wealth redistribution called the EU, which was sold to you under the name “European Economic Community” as a better way of doing trade between countries.
If our elitist leaders were honest, we could easily see what is happening, but they use false names. But they have been using the bait and switch technique with us for so many years we have forgotten what freedom is and what its name is.
Best,
Don

I just wanted you to know:
The number of signatures has risen steeply, from the about 4,000 gathered since the original petition went up over a year ago, to over 5,000 since this article and alerts went out. Praise God! And thank you! That’s a 20% jump in just a bit over a week compared to the first 80% that took about 18 MONTHS to gather.

What we are dealing with is Corporate Collectivism & the enslavement of the people to FINANCE CAPITAL. Essentially, Corporatism destroys free market capitalism wherein all men own the fruits of their labor. Whereas all free men own their labor & labor creates its own capital, all Corporate FICTION records labor as a “cost” of doing business. So, Corporations view labor not as an asset, but as a liability.
Through the alchemy & interface of CORPORATE FICTION, labor is transmuted into profit which acrues to the owners of the CORPORATE “PERSON.” The CORPORATE PERSONA serves only ITSELF & has no capacity for moral or ethical action of independent volition. This is the new CORPORATE FEUDALISM wherein labor is placed in servitude to DEBT FINANCE & accumulated capital. The FICTION is not a man & a man is not a FICTION. Labor & wages are neither PROFIT nor INCOME, but compensation. Whereas obedient servants are “rewarded,” more or less, masters are fairly compensated in a value for value exchange for their skills, labor & tools. Slavery has been instituted under the guise of legal FICTION or statute COLOR-OF-LAW. Slavery is unlawful & in violation of various human rights codes including & not limited to the American Constitution. The people must withdraw their sanction from the FICTION regardless of the tyranny of convenience under which we presently labor. Freedom & health are not convenient. For people to regain their freedom, power & authority, they must accept responsibility for their own health & lives. The people must not ask the state to do what they must do for themselves. The Corporate FICTION will not yield easily, so there will be a struggle ahead.

I have seen the comments of those who are either naive about the nature of Capitalism, or hope that you are.
There is no Capitalism that does not eventually become Fascist Corporatism.
This is necessarily the case, as when people amass capital they then pay for its protection and use it to lord over others. There is always an imbalance of power between those who have more capital and those who have less and there can be no political equality if there is no economic equality. The framers of the Constitution, who were Freemasons and were funded by King George (yes he funded both sides of the “Revolutionary war” theatrical performance), knew this.
Going back to an earlier form of Capitalism, were that possible and that is very highly doubtful, is nothing more than leaving the legacy of what we are now experiencing to our grandchildren as Capitalism always, sooner more than later, degenerates into tyranny.
BTW: The United States is not a nation at all, but rather a corporation. It is a development of the Virginia Company. I refer you to a very important video on You Tube called 30 Little Known Facts About America.
We Jews says that the wise see the outcome from the inception. The inception of Capitalism always leads to the end we see now.
Anyone who calls for Capitalism does not love you as he loves himself, does not wish for you the very best that he wishes for himself, and you need not heed the words of those who have not attained this level.
When Torah calls for equal weights and measure, it means Communism, which was the structure of the societies of the Prophets and HaYacad (the Essenes) of blessed memory.

Communism is NOT a Jewish or Torah ideal. However, social justice is. The laws relative to damages & property claims are well enunciated & debated in Jewish law. Just as the Essene sect was an exception but an impractical offset to normal society, Communism is also an naively idealistic notion which rejects private property or an ownership of ones labor. The Torah does not call for “equal weights & measures,” but rather “just” weights & measures. Whereas the Essenes had their place in Jewish history & were a product of their times, neither they nor Communism are typically “Jewish,” but simply an aspect of what some Jews did, or did not do within the broader context of Jewish life which also involved a creation of wealth, trade & commerce. Capitalism, where a man owns his own labor IS a Jewish ideal. Indeed, this is a basic principle of social justice from both a Jewish & Torah perspective. Corporatism is simply an aboration of organic capitalism, just as Reform Judaism is an aboration of Jewish law. Properly understood, capitalism does not become Corporate fascism. In fact Corporate Collectivism/fascism is akin to Communism.
National Socialism & Communism are flip-sides of the same Collectivist coin – the “Fatherland” & the “Motherland” – a husband & wife team if you will. Communism will always lead to oppression & genocide just as it did in both Russia & Communist China. In fact, far more people died under Communism in the past 100 years than either National Socialism or Religion. So once again, social justice, A Jewish & Torah concept, is not Communism.

Wrong, Eliezer. Have you been learning Torah as translated by the Goi’im?
Torah tells us what the meaning of ??? is in that passage.
Torah says:
??: ???-??????? ???? ??????????, ????? ???????: ?????????, ??????????
??: ???-??????? ???? ??????????, ?????? ????????: ?????????, ??????????
??: ????? ???????? ??????? ???????-?????, ?????? ???????? ??????? ???????-?????–???????, ?????????? ???????, ??? ?????????, ??????-?????? ????????? ????? ????
I don’t learn Torah in Gentile translation. If you can’t read the Hebrew, shame on you.
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:17 pm
LOL
This site isn’t even set to be able to read Hebrew.
That says it all.

Doreen,
You claim to be a communist and I take your claim seriously. Since communism is an international system that was first implemented in Russia, then in China, how about if I send you a few articles on communism in those languages and you can give me your opinion of the content — in those languages, of course.
Ok?
November 3rd, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Sorry Doreen, but I believe you to be in error & your interpretation & understanding of the Hebrew text to also be in error. Social justice is a far cry from Communism which is often the anti-thesis to Jewish teaching. We see that among members of the Israeli left today. I have also learned in Tzfat & in an Orthodox environment. I do not believe however, this is an appropriate forum to debate the meanings & many aspects of any particular Jewish text. However, upon what basis or Hebrew text do you claim the Torah & the Jewish ethos is in concordance with Communism, an anti-G-d political ideology? And upon what basis would you justify this to the thousands of Jews who have been persecuted under Communism during the past century?

Good Eliezer !
Finally I am reading from a real knowledgable man something extremely similar to what is happening today in my own religious community (which is the Muslim world) — unfortunately most of them are reading the Koran in an extremely similar fashion to how Doreen read the sacred Torah.
May the Creator save us from such a malign way of understanding His Words.
