(Updated through: April 19, 2007)
“DEATH BY GOVERNMENT
AND DEATH BY CHURCH”
(“Innocents” Betrayed by Those
They Trusted!)
(And
Christians Exterminated by the “Church”!)
NOTE: All emphasis throughout this
newsletter, unless otherwise noted, is by the editor of “Tackling the Tough Topics (TTT)”.
WARNING: This issue of TTT may seriously
disturb some folks’ comfort zones; however, TRUTH is far more important
than any of our comfort zones.
DEDICATION: This issue of TTT is dedicated to “Jews for the
Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO)”. I am making
this dedication in appreciation for their outstanding documentary film entitled
“Innocents Betrayed” (2003).
DEFINITIONS (hopefully in alphabetical order):
“Croatia” (per Webster’s
New World Dictionary, Second College Edition; 1974): “[A former constituent]
republic of [the Federated People’s Republic of] Yugoslavia, in the
northwest part: formerly, until 1918, a kingdom.” [Ed. Note: In the 1940s
it was an “independent” Fascist State, and an ally of Nazi Germany.]
“Crusade” (per Webster’s
New World Dictionary, Second College Edition; first two meanings): “1.
Any of the military expeditions which Christians [Ed. Note: to be more
precise, Roman Catholics] undertook from the end of the 11th
[century] to the end of the 13th century to recover the Holy Land
from the Moslems. 2. Any church-sanctioned
war or expedition like this.”
((Ed
Comment to the preceding definition: The Papacy launched “holy” crusades
against Bible-believing Christian groups, such as the Albigenses in southern
France, and the Waldenses in southeastern France and northwest Italy.))
“Democide” (per Professor
R. J. Rummel, author of Death by Government): “The murder
of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide,
and mass murder.” (Death by Government; 1994; Page 31)
“Fascism” (per Webster’s
New World Dictionary, Second College Edition – second meaning): “A
system of government characterized by rigid one-party dictatorship, forcible
suppression of opposition, private economic enterprise under centralized
governmental control, belligerent nationalism, racism, and militarism, etc.:
first instituted in Italy in 1922.”
“Genocide” (per Webster’s
Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary; 1971): “The deliberate and
systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.”
“Genocide” (per Professor
R. J. Rummel, author of Death by Government): “Among other
things, the killing of people by a government because of their
indelible group membership (race, ethnicity, religion, language).” (Death
by Government; 1994; Page 31)
“Genocide” (per Frank
Chalk and Kurt Jonassohn, co-authors of The History and Sociology of
GENOCIDE): “A form of one-sided mass killing in which a state
or other authority [Ed. Note: such as a RELIGIOUS
authority] intends to destroy a group, as that group and membership
in it are defined by the perpetrator.” (The History and Sociology of
GENOCIDE; 1990; Page 23)
“Heretic” (per Darryl
Eberhart, Editor of TTT): “As concerns historical Roman Catholic use
of this term: A ‘label’ applied by the Papacy to anyone who dared in the past,
or who dares today, to question either (1) papal authority, or (2) any of the
unscriptural doctrines based solely upon ‘tradition’ that have been promulgated
by the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, such as ‘transubstantiation’,
‘indulgences’, ‘papal infallibility’, ‘purgatory’, ‘worship of images’, ‘a
celibate priesthood’, ‘auricular confession to a priest’, etc.”
“Heretic” (per Webster’s
Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary): (a.) “A dissenter from established church
dogma; especially: a baptized member of the Roman Catholic Church who disavows
a revealed truth”; (b.) “One that dissents from an accepted belief or
doctrine of any kind.”
((Ed.
Note: Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language adds this
important clarification for the term “heretic”: “In strictness, among
Christians, a person who holds and avows religious opinions contrary to the doctrines
of Scripture, the ONLY rule of faith and practice.”))
((Ed.
Comment to the preceding definitions of “heretic”: It is easy for corrupt
church officials to “label” a group of people (even an entire region) as
“heretics”, and then to send armies to crush them and loot their
property! This has happened far too
frequently in past centuries, and the culprit has been the hierarchy of the
Roman Catholic Church – i.e., Papal Rome.))
“Holocaust” (per Webster’s
Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary; 1971): (a.) “A sacrifice consumed by
fire”; (b.) “A thorough destruction esp. by fire.”
“Inquisition” (per Webster’s
1828 American Dictionary of the English Language): (Meaning #4): “In
some [Roman] Catholic countries, a court or tribunal established for the
examination and punishment of ‘heretics’.
This court was established in the 12th century by ‘father’
Dominic, who was charged by Pope Innocent III with orders to excite [Roman]
Catholic princes [i.e., rulers] and people to extirpate [i.e.,
destroy completely] ‘heretics’.”
“Jesuit Order” (per
Darryl Eberhart, Editor of TTT): “The Jesuit Order is a religious order of
the Roman Catholic Church, officially approved by Pope Paul III in 1540. The
primary goals of this order are (1) to roll back the Protestant Reformation and
the freedoms that it brought to many of the inhabitants of this planet; (2) to
enhance the power and prestige of the Papacy; and (3) to rule despotically over
the governments of the world through the Papacy. The head of the Jesuit Order is the Jesuit Superior General – the
‘Black Pope’ – the real power behind the Papal throne. The Jesuit Order is
infamous for fomenting revolutions and wars, assassinating heads of State, and
subverting nations.”
“Knights of Malta” (per
Darryl Eberhart, Editor of TTT): “A Roman Catholic religious-military order
headquartered in Rome with, and under the command of, the Jesuit Superior
General. Much of the wealth of the
Knights Templar, when it was disbanded in 1312, was given to the Knights of
Malta. Many Knights of Malta have held
top-level positions in various governments, in the world’s foremost
intelligence agencies, in international banking, and in the publishing
world. A number of Knights of Malta
continue to hold such positions.”
“Mass Murder” (per
Professor R. J. Rummel): “The indiscriminate killing of any person or
people by a government.” (Death by Government; 1994;
Page 31)
“Mass Murder” (per Darryl
Eberhart, Editor of TTT): “The indiscriminate killing of any person or group
of people by either a government, or by a religious institution –
or, by a government AND a religious institution working
hand-in-hand together to eliminate their perceived enemies.”
“Papal Rome” (per Darryl
Eberhart, Editor of TTT): “The government of the Roman Catholic
Church, whose headquarters is presently in Rome, Italy.”
“Politicide” (per
Professor R. J. Rummel, author of Death by Government): “The murder
of any person or people by a government because of their politics or for
political purposes.” (Death by Government; 1994; Page 31)
“Religicide” (per Darryl
Eberhart, Editor of TTT): “The murder of any person or people by a religious
organization or denomination because of religious differences
between the victim and the perpetrator (often with the victim being falsely
or unfairly designated a ‘heretic’ by the perpetrator).”
“Ustashi” – “Catholic
Actionists” – The Roman Catholic militia (and later army) in the Roman
Catholic Fascist State of Croatia during World War II.
HERE ARE SOME RELEVANT QUOTES:
“What happens when self-defense is
against the law? What happens when the protectors
become the predators? What happens when innocents are betrayed? [The answer]: 170,000,000 [murder
victims].
In the 20th Century
that’s how many innocents were slaughtered, tortured, starved, mutilated,
worked to death, bayoneted, hanged, [and] annihilated
at the hands of their governments! They had no means to defend themselves.”
As narrated by Dolcye Johnson in the
JPFO documentary film “Innocents Betrayed” (Script by
Claire Wolfe)
“Once people accept being disarmed,
they become surprisingly easy to control…and to kill. They have surrendered not only their weapons
but [also] their independence.
When innocents are rendered so defenseless,
the guilty can slaughter them with the most ordinary of weapons – a
club, a knife, a pitchfork…”
As narrated by Dolcye Johnson in the
JPFO documentary film “Innocents Betrayed” (Script by
Claire Wolfe)
“The mass murder by
emperors, kings, sultans, khans, presidents, governors, generals, and other
such rulers of their own citizens or of those under their protection or
control is very much part of our history.”
Professor R. J. Rummel (Death by Government;
1994; Page 45)
“[The JPFO documentary film] ‘Innocents Betrayed’
reveals the history of modern-day genocides. Other than the well-known Nazi
German Holocaust, most of these genocides are unknown or forgotten. With the complicity of [the]
mainstream media, the perpetrators have concealed some of these mass
murders, and global humanitarian organizations seemed to have ignored
others.
Most of these horrors – which have
killed some 170,000,000 innocents – have one thing in
common. They fit the ‘Genocide
Formula’:
‘Hatred +
Government + Disarmed Citizens = Genocide’.
Defenseless Americans are victims,
too. [The film] ‘Innocents Betrayed’ shows also how slavery, persecution,
lynching and murder have afflicted men, women and children in America
who had no power, no defense tools.
The film delivers the facts that
show how governments have deliberately murdered or enslaved their
own people or have left them helpless to defend themselves against outside
aggressors. In each case, the victims were first disarmed.
History can’t tell us how effectively victims would have
or could have protected themselves if they had possessed firearms. But it can
tell us that disarmament is necessary to make possible the mass
murder of helpless citizens.” (Text taken from page 1 of the brochure that accompanies
the DVD version of the outstanding JPFO
documentary film “Innocents Betrayed”)
((NOTE:
Information on how to order the JPFO documentary film “Innocents
Betrayed” will be provided in the final section of this TTT newsletter.))
“The founding fathers fully expected that Americans would
be prepared at all times to fight a government when the government becomes
the enemy of the people. The
founding fathers fully expected that the people would rise up against
that government.
…They [i.e., the founding fathers] expressly expected
that people would take to arms and stop a government that ‘went
too far’. So they built into the [U.S.]
Constitution the 2nd Amendment [Ed. Note: that spells out our
God-given right to keep and bear arms] to be sure that
Americans would never become the disarmed subjects of this government –
to make sure this government never became a ‘killer government’
– and to make sure that the scenes we saw in this film [i.e., “Innocents
Betrayed” by JPFO] could never take place in
America.”
Richard W. Stevens (Author; Attorney
at Law) (Quote is taken from an interview used as a trailer for the JPFO
documentary film “Innocents Betrayed”.)
“Resistance
to tyranny is obedience to God.”
William Tyndale (1492? -1536)
“He who passively accepts
evil is as much involved in it as he who helps perpetuate it.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)
“Genocide is horrible,
an abomination of our species, and totally unacceptable. It is an obscenity – the evil
of our time that all good people must work to eradicate.” – R. J. Rummel (Death by Government;
1994; Page 31)
Americans absolutely must get
informed about the numerous genocides that have been documented
throughout history – including the many genocides of the 20th
Century! And, Americans absolutely must
get informed about the role that “gun control” played in many of the
“more recent” genocides!
Why do we need to be informed about
such grisly, barbaric events? We need
to be informed because history has a very nasty (and frequent) habit of
“repeating itself”.
For some reason, many Americans have
been “conditioned” to believe that such terrible things as genocide, a
holocaust, or other types of barbaric mass slaughter could never happen here in
America. Such thinking as this on the
part of these Americans is not only unreasonable (showing a tremendous ignorance
of history), but it is also extremely dangerous! It is extremely dangerous because an
apathetic, complacent, and ignorant population is very easy to control –
and when the authorities decide – to slaughter, especially after
massive “gun control” has been implemented!
It is important that we read books that deal with
such topics as “genocide by government”, “genocide by Church”,
and “gun control”! A number of such
books will be recommended at the end of this newsletter, and also within other
sections of this issue of TTT. When one
sees actual still photos – especially in color – of the innocent victims who
have been tortured, raped, maimed, dismembered, starved, and murdered by
their own governments, then one is better able to appreciate the great
danger posed by Police States that have largely – or completely –
disarmed their own civilian populations!
I have watched my copy of the JPFO
documentary film “Innocents Betrayed” at least three times. There are many photographs of “victims of genocide”
on that film – a film that every American should view. That outstanding
documentary film inspired this particular issue of the TTT newsletter.
II.
THE JPFO DOCUMENTARY FILM “INNOCENTS
BETRAYED”
NOTE: Direct quotes taken from the JPFO
documentary film “Innocents Betrayed” (that are used here in Section II)
are “italicized” within the text.
A.
Turkey (1915-1917): “Calculated Genocide”
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 1,500,000 (targeted group: Armenian Christians
living in Turkey) [Note: Armenia was once a powerful kingdom, whose inhabitants
converted to Christianity in the late 3rd century. After the kingdom
fell, portions of its former territory were taken by Russia, Turkey, and
Persia. Some of this former Armenian
territory is still held by Turkey and Iran.]
The new rulers in Turkey say that “they
want to rid the country of wrong and lawless ideas”, and that “they want
to protect national security.” Translation: They want to “eliminate
the Armenians in Turkey – by killing the Armenians.”
“In February 1915 Turkey’s political
leaders and Moslem religious leaders make a detailed, secret plan
to annihilate the largely Christian minority [i.e., the Armenians].”
(This is an example of State and “Church” cooperating in vicious
genocide. Americans should vigorously oppose any efforts to unite State and
Church – or any efforts to establish a “State religion” – here in the
USA!)
The “Innocents Betrayed” documentary
film by JPFO informs us that this brutal genocide committed against
the Armenian Christian people took place in carefully planned steps (or
stages). In the first step, thousands of Armenian Christian men were drafted
into the Turkish Army – and then separated from their military units and sent
to labor camps “where they [were] worked to death, starved, and
murdered in groups”. In the second
step, Armenian Christian civilians were relieved of their firearms – i.e.,
disarmed by “gun confiscation”. And, in the final step, the deportations of
Armenian civilians to remote camps in the desert began in earnest on June 26,
1915. Only a small percentage ever made
it to these remote camps, since large numbers of Armenian men, women, and
children were slaughtered and butchered along the way. Three quarters of
the Armenian Christian population in Turkey would perish in this brutal
genocide!
((Ed.
Note: Again, please remember that the religious authorities
cooperated with the government (the State) in planning this brutal
genocide!))
B.
[The] Soviet Union (1929-1936):
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 10,000,000 (mainly by State-orchestrated
starvation; targets: independent farmers – the majority of them in
Soviet-controlled Ukraine)
In this brutal genocide the
Communists use “starvation as a murder weapon”. The main regions affected: “the Ukraine,
the Volga Basin, and the Caucasus [a region between the Black Sea and the
Caspian Sea].”
The Communists took power in Russia
in 1917, and immediately “passed laws making it almost impossible for non-[Communist]
party members to own firearms”.
Then, in 1929 Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin “decrees that all
livestock, produce, and farmland belong to the State. Farmers are
ordered to surrender their land and livestock, and to move to government-owned
collective farms.”
((Ed.
Question to the preceding paragraph: Might American farmers face
a similar situation in the near future when the USA is placed
under total martial law, and foreign troops are brought in to help “protect”
us?))
“First, to terrorize the rest into
submission, several million of the most prosperous farmers are sent to forced
labor [camps] or killed
outright. These ‘Kulaks’ are demonized
[by the Communists]. Because of ten
years of firearms confiscation, farmers can only fight back with farm
tools.” ((Ed. Comment: The U.S. government is aware of this history of “gun
control” leading to horrible genocide. So WHY does our government
push “gun control” so vigorously?))
“By 1932 [Soviet dictator] Stalin controls food
supplies. He can cut off food
distribution and starve entire regions.
Because he controls all travel with internal passports [Ed.
Note: just like national identification cards], his secret police can force
starving millions to remain within the devastated areas.”
“Grain rots on the ground. The powerless people can do nothing to stop
their master. …10 million defenseless lives [are] wiped out by starvation.”
Here is a great example of how
America’s mainstream media has been tightly controlled for decades:
While millions starved to death in the Ukraine, New York Times
Pulitzer Prize-winning Moscow correspondent Walter Duranty assured the
world (especially the Western press) that there was no famine in
Soviet-controlled Ukraine. America has an extremely controlled
mainstream media, and if you doubt this, then please get a copy of the 381-page
hardback book Into the Buzzsaw (edited by Kristina Borjesson). It
deals with many journalists who had their stories “suppressed” by powerful
individuals above them. This book
is $25.50 postpaid. To order by credit card, please call “Radio Liberty” at 1-800-544-8927. Or,

Soquel, CA 95073.
C.
China (1934-1976): “Decades of Death”
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 35,000,000 (minimum) ((possibly as high as 100,000,000))
“In 1935 the [Chinese]
Nationalist government prohibits the private ownership of firearms.”
((Ed. Comment to
preceding quote: The German Weimar Republic’s “gun control” laws and its lists of
registered gun owners were later of great use to the Nazis when they
took control of Germany. Likewise, the Chinese Nationalist government’s “gun
control” laws were later of great use to the Chinese Communists when
they took control of China!))
“1942-1944: Four million die in famine
aggravated by government confiscation of crops.”
The “Innocents Betrayed”
documentary film by JPFO then goes on to show us a very horrible
result of a disarmed civilian population:
In 1937 Chinese troops fled the city of Nanking without offering any
kind of resistance to the advancing Japanese Army. The disarmed civilian population of Nanking was left to the
“cruel mercies” of the Japanese soldiers. “Hundreds of thousands of
children, women, sick, and old people are left to the Japanese [soldiers]
– without self-defense.” [They are] “raped, buried alive,
burned alive, used for bayonet practice, and forced to watch as their own
organs are cut out of them.”
“The Communists take over in 1949 –
they keep the population disarmed.
During 38 years of Communist violence and economic ‘experiments’, they
wipe out an additional 35 million Chinese – and possibly as many
as 100 million. [During all this time Communist dictator] Mao [Tse-Tung]
controls all the guns.”
D.
Germany (1933-1945): “The Master Murderers”
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: more than 11,000,000 die in concentration camps
(targets: Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and political and religious opponents)
((IMPORTANT
Ed. Comment: Most of the so-called nominal “Christians” in Germany (both Roman
Catholic and Protestant) either actively supported the Nazi killing machine or failed
to speak out against it. After 1933, relatively few Protestant
ministers (such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was executed by hanging), and
relatively few Roman Catholic priests, had the courage to speak
out against Adolf Hitler and his Nazi thugs. The hierarchy of the Roman
Catholic Church, in fact, supported both Nazi Germany and Fascist
Italy, signing Concordats with both of these wicked, totalitarian regimes. The
German Roman Catholic Center Party, under orders from the highest levels
of the Roman Catholic Church, endorsed and unanimously voted for the 1933 Enabling
Act. Their vote was crucial, and it gave Hitler the 2/3s majority he needed
to assume dictatorial powers. One of
the key men in bringing Hitler to power was Jesuit-controlled Roman Catholic Knight
of Malta Franz von Papen.))
((Note:
The 207-page hardback book Hitler’s Cross (1995) by Erwin W.
Lutzer tells the sad story of the Christian Church’s failure, for the
most part, to stand up against the murderous regime of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi
thugs. It also includes stories about a few of the relatively small number of
Christian clergymen who did have the courage to speak out against this
monstrous, totalitarian regime. It is $15.95 postpaid. To order it, please make

1.
Here’s what the JPFO documentary film “Innocents Betrayed”
had, in part, to say about the genocide in Nazi Germany and in Nazi
German-controlled territories during World War II:
“In January 1933 [Adolf] Hitler [comes to power]. The 1928 gun registration lets the
Nazis know who already owns guns.”
“In 1938 the Nazis create their own
gun control law. Jews are forbidden to
possess firearms, clubs, or sharp-edged weapons. Jews turn in their weapons or Nazis or police storm in to seize
them. The disarmed Jews await slaughter
– the National Identification cards and census data tell
them just who is a Jew! A few days
later 30,000 to 90,000 Jewish men – mostly leaders – are arrested and
sent to concentration camps.”
((Ed.
Question: Shouldn’t we Americans be concerned about the tremendous database
that has been compiled on us, and about the federal government’s efforts to
ensure that eventually every American will possess, and be required to “show on
demand”, a national identification card? Please remember that the Nazi
German authorities often demanded of people: “Show me your papers,
please!”))
“Three million German political
opponents are imprisoned in concentration camps from 1933 through 1945. Five
million Jews are slaughtered. [Those slaughtered also include] Gypsies, Slavs, the disabled… More than eleven million
total die in concentration camps.”
2. The following are some
additional comments that Editor of TTT would like to make concerning the Nazi
German-orchestrated genocide of World War II:
(a.)
The Vatican supported totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy,
Croatia, and elsewhere in Europe.
Please read the book Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII
(1999) by John Cornwell, a Roman Catholic historian and journalist. (The publisher is the Penguin Group;
its ISBN is 0-14-029627-1. This New
York Times “Bestseller” is currently out-of-print. Check your local library or try the Internet
to locate a used copy.) Cornwell exposes Pope Pius XII’s key role in
negotiating an accord that helped the Nazis achieve dictatorial power in
Germany. Here is what the back cover of
this 426-page paperback book states, in part:
“In [the book] Hitler’s
Pope, award-winning journalist John Cornwell shows that Eugenio Pacelli,
Pope Pius XII, was instrumental in negotiating an accord that helped the
Nazis rise to unhindered power – and sealed the fate of the Jews in Europe.
Drawing upon secret Vatican and
Jesuit archives to which he had unprecedented access, Cornwell tells the full,
tragic story of how narcissism, long-standing personal antipathy for the
Jews, and political and ‘spiritual’ ambition combined to make Pius the
most dangerous churchman in history.
Not just a firm and final indictment of Pius XII’s papacy, Hitler’s
Pope is also a searing exploration of its lingering consequences for the
Catholic Church today.”
Here are some quotes from the front
of the book Hitler’s Pope:
“A devastating indictment of Pius
[XII] as guilty of moral treachery so grave that it
defames his papacy and should deny his elevation to sainthood…”
The Philadelphia Inquirer
“As [John] Cornwell brilliantly demonstrates, Pius XII
brought the authoritarianism and the centralization of his
predecessors to their most extreme stage…Nowadays we may not know what a
saint should be, but we do know what a saint should not be – a man of narrow
spirit and heart, a man who could not find at the very least a
‘candid word’ when millions of human beings from all corners of Europe, some of
them from under his own windows, were led to their systematic extermination.”
– Saul Friedlander, Los Angeles Times
“[The book] Hitler’s Pope reads like a thriller as it takes us
through the high-powered negotiations and international crises from an unusual
perspective… Given the campaign
to beatify [Pope] Pius XII, this meticulous, persuasive and impassioned
book is disturbing in its presentation of a profoundly flawed man
obsessed with absolute papal authority no matter what the
consequences for others.” – Detroit Free Press
“[This book provides] a devastating refutation of the claim that this
Pope’s [i.e., Pius XII’s] diplomacy can in any way be characterized as
wisdom. Instead of a portrait of a man worthy
of sainthood, Cornwell lays out the story of a narcissistic, power-hungry
manipulator who was prepared to lie, to appease, and to collaborate in order to
accomplish his ecclesiastical purpose – which was not to save lives or
even to protect the Catholic Church, but, more narrowly, to protect and advance
the power of the papacy.” – James Carroll, Atlantic
Monthly
(b.)
Not only did the Vatican support Nazi and Fascist regimes in
Europe, but it also helped many Nazi and Fascist war criminals escape
punishment at the end of World War II. Roman
Catholic prelates, with the full support of the Vatican, helped
hide these Nazi and Fascist war criminals in monasteries and convents – and
even in Rome itself – and then helped them to move to such countries as
Argentina and the United States of America. (This elaborate “escape tunnel” for
war criminals became known as the “Vatican Ratlines”.) Some of these escaped war criminals, such as
Knight of Malta Nazi German General Reinhard Gehlen, even ended
up in the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)!
(c.)
Hundreds of thousands of Germans (mostly Protestants) perished in
predominantly Protestant Northern Germany during World War II because of the
brutal firebombing of non-combatants [i.e., civilians] in major cities in north
and north-central Germany! Over a million Germans (mostly
Protestants, including many women and children) died either during the forced
mass emigration from former Prussia (predominantly Protestant northeastern
Germany) or in Allied (especially U.S.) concentration camps in West
Germany after hostilities had ceased at the end of World War II!
E.
Cambodia (1975-1979): “Purifying a Nation through Slaughter”
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 2,000,000 (1/4 of the population; targets:
Vietnamese, religious leaders, political enemies, professionals, intellectuals,
and students)
“In 1975 the Communist Khmer
Rouge seize power. …[The Communists] had strict ‘gun control’. [The civilian population is subjected
to] forced mass evacuation of cities, and are herded onto collective
farms. Many are slaughtered –
all of Cambodia is turned into a concentration camp.”
The only thing that mercifully
stopped this horrendous slaughter was an invasion by Vietnam in 1979, which
quickly led to the fall of the murderous Communist Khmer Rouge government.
F.
Uganda (1971-1979): “The Hidden Genocide”
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 300,000 (mostly Christians plus rival tribes)
Prior to dictator Idi Amin’s rise to
power in Uganda, the previous government had passed stringent “gun control”
laws. Amin was able to take advantage
of these “gun control” laws when he went after his “enemies”. “300,000 undefended people die”
in this Ugandan genocide.
G.
Rwanda (1994): “The 100-Day Genocide”
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 800,000 (mostly members of the Tutsi tribe)
The population of Rwanda in 1994 was
approximately 90% Hutu and 9% Tutsi.
When the Belgians had controlled the region, the Tutsis had held many of
the key government positions. However,
by 1994 “the Hutu regime has been in power for years. On April 1, 1994 armed Hutu gangs
participate in the slaughter [of Tutsis]. They had been issued weapons for the purpose.”
The “Innocents Betrayed”
documentary film by JPFO goes on to let us know that gun
registration and gun permits enabled the authorities to know who in the
country was armed. Soldiers checking national identification cards at
checkpoints were able to identify who was a Hutu and who was a Tutsi – and if
you were a Tutsi, then you were lucky if a quick death was your fate!
H.
Other Genocides:
(1)
Guatemala – 1980s – target: Mayan Indians – 200,000 murdered
(2)
Tibet – late 20th century until the present – target: Buddhists – 1,000,000
murdered
(3)
Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) – 1971 – targets: Hindus, students, and
intellectuals – one and a half million perish
((The
“Innocents Betrayed” documentary film by JPFO goes on to
briefly describe two late 20th Century genocides that are still
ongoing: the Sudan and Zimbabwe. It
also gives us a number of examples of the “ill effects” of “gun control” here
in America – to include the “gun control” laws that were used against
American black slaves for many decades. This documentary film, available in VHS
or DVD format, is an absolute “must-see” for every American. Please see the last section for information
on how to order it.))
IMPORTANT
NOTE: Governments are not the only perpetrators of genocide. Governments often
are urged on, and used by, the religious authorities – and
frequently take their orders from the religious authorities
(e.g., a powerful, hierarchical Church).
Indeed, history has shown us that elements at the top levels of the
Roman Catholic Church have instigated, choreographed, orchestrated,
participated in, and led some of the most brutal genocides of the past 1000
plus years! It would be appropriate
here to review one of the definitions given at the beginning of this newsletter
for the term “genocide”:
“Genocide” (per Frank
Chalk and Kurt Jonassohn, co-authors of The History and Sociology of
GENOCIDE): “A form of one-sided mass killing in which a state
or other authority [Ed. Note: such as a RELIGIOUS
authority] intends to destroy a group, as that group and membership
in it are defined by the perpetrator.” (The History and Sociology of
GENOCIDE; 1990; Page 23)
(1)
The Albigenses (i.e., the Albigensian Christians):
Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary
of the English Language states in part concerning the Albigenses: “A
party of Reformers, who separated from the church of Rome, in the 12th
Century; so called from the Albegeois, a small territory in France, where they
resided. …The [Roman] Catholics made war upon them…”
According the World Scope
Encyclopedia, 1955, the Albigenses were “a religious sect organized in
the 12th Century, and which was formerly well represented in France. …In 1209 a severe war broke
out between them and their allies on one side and the [Roman] Catholics
on the other.”
Frank Chalk and Kurt Jonassohn,
co-authors of The History and Sociology of GENOCIDE (1990), tell
us the following:
“The Albigensian Crusades slash
through the history of France and of the [Roman Catholic] Church like a
gaping wound. From 1208 to 1226 the papacy
sent army after army to the South of France to crush the Albigensian
‘heretics’ and to punish their supporters. …They [i.e., the
Papacy-ordered Albigensian Crusades] began with a calculated act of terror,
the massacre of [Ed. Note: large numbers of men, women, and children
at] Beziers; they ended with the establishment of the Inquisition,
one of the most effective means of ‘thought control’ that Europe has ever
known. ((Ed. Comment: The papal army butchered about 20,000 citizens of
this French city populated at that time by many Albigenses.)) They [the
papal armies] were completely successful: The losing faith, the Albigensian
‘Heresy’, was exterminated.
…Their
disappearance as a social group was carefully planned and executed
[Ed. Note: by Papal Rome]
with persistent cruelty.” (Pages 114, 115)
Dr. Henry H. Halley, in Halley’s Bible Handbook,
states, in part:
“[The
Albigensian Christians] preached against the immoralities of the [Roman
Catholic] priesthood, pilgrimages, worship of saints and idols…opposed
the claims of the Church of Rome; made great use of the Scriptures.
…By
1167 they [i.e., the Albigensian
Christians] embraced possibly a majority of the population of South France.
…In
1208 a crusade was ordered by Pope Innocent III; a bloody war of extermination
followed, scarcely paralleled in history.
Town after town was put to the sword, and the inhabitants murdered
without distinction of age or sex.
…Within
a hundred years the Albigenses were utterly rooted out.” (This excerpt by Dr. Halley was taken from Dave
Hunt’s book A Woman Rides the Beast; 1994; Pages 391, 392)
Here is a short and applicable excerpt from a July 13,
2005 letter of mine:
“These religious crusades [carried out by armies dispatched by order of the
Papacy] and [accompanying] genocide (frequently in the form of
State-Church genocide) were often directed at innocent
peasants and farmers (e.g., Albigenses, Waldenses, French Huguenots, etc.)
whose only ‘crimes’ were placing the Holy Bible in higher authority than the
pope, and refusing to recognize papal authority. These innocent people were falsely
called ‘heretics’ [by Papal Rome]. Papal armies were
raised (often using murderers, rapists, etc., who had been released from
prisons) and sent to exterminate entire villages and regions.”
The Albigenses were Bible-believing
Christians who were, for the most part, moral, hard-working farmers and
peasants who no longer wanted any part of the cesspool of corruption that existed
within Papal Rome and much of her priesthood. They studied Bible
verses whenever they could, and they placed God’s Word (the Holy Bible) above
papal authority. In general it may be said that they lived much more moral
lives than many of their Roman Catholic neighbors.
Why did Papal Rome hate
these simple farmers and peasants so passionately? It was because she
was losing members from the Roman Catholic Church to these
so-called “heretical” sects. When many Roman Catholics saw how moral, honest,
and hardworking such peoples as the Albigenses were compared to many of their
own Church members and clergy, they decided that there had to be something
better than what their own belief system offered them. Bottom line: The pope’s authority and power
base – and most importantly, his financial base – were being threatened
by defections of the “faithful”. As more parts of Europe looked as though they
might “defect” from Papal Rome’s fold, she responded with barbaric
crusades, religious wars, genocide, and Inquisition!
(2)
The Waldenses (i.e., the Waldensian Christians; also known as the Vaudois):
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: No less than 900,000 murdered (just in
the period 1540-1570)
Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second College Edition (1974) states the following concerning the
Waldenses: “A sect of dissenters from the Roman Catholic Church which arose
about 1170 in S France: excommunicated
in 1184, they survive in the Alps of France and Italy.”
The World Scope Encyclopedia,
1955, states, in part, the following about the Waldenses:
“A Christian sect founded in Italy
by Petrus Waldus (Peter Waldo), an influential merchant of Lyons. ((Ed. Comment: This Christian group existed long
before the appearance of Peter Waldo on the world scene.)) He became the
leader of a considerable number who looked upon the [Roman Catholic]
Church and the clergy as corrupt and went forth to preach with the view
of bringing about a reformation, though not intending to
secede from the established organization [i.e., the Roman Catholic Church].
…His French followers, the
so-called Paupers of Lyons, later united with the Humiliates of Milan, a
similar sect.
The Archbishop of Lyons published a
command charging that Waldo’s followers refrain from further activity. They [i.e., the Waldenses] appealed to Pope Alexander
III, but he prohibited their meetings.
At many [Roman Catholic] church councils, beginning in 1179 and
continuing through the whole 13th Century, their [i.e., the
Waldenses’] teaching was condemned, especially because of the stress they
placed on the Bible and because they allowed laymen to
preach. ((Ed. Comment: This threatened Papal Rome’s monopoly
on the priesthood as the sole dispensers of “truth”. Such an organized “Church” monopoly on the
priesthood poses a great danger to real Christians, especially when many in
this organized priesthood are corrupt, and are ignorant of the
Holy Bible.))
Finally their followers concentrated
in the valleys of Piedmont and Savoy.
The reform movement continued and gained strength steadily until the 16th
Century, when widespread persecutions took place. Pope Sixtus IV, in fact, had organized a crusade
against them as early as 1477. …The
Waldenses hold the Bible as the only rule of faith…”
The Waldenses were Bible-believing
Christians who were, for the most part, moral, hard-working farmers and
peasants who no longer wanted any part of the cesspool of corruption that
existed within Papal Rome and much of her priesthood. They
studied Bible verses whenever they could, and they placed God’s Word
(the Holy Bible) above papal authority. In general it may be said that
they lived much more moral lives than many of their Roman Catholic neighbors.
Why did Papal Rome try
to exterminate the Waldenses?
It was for the same reasons that she had exterminated the Albigensian
Christians, and it is worth repeating:
The reason that Papal Rome
hated these simple farmers and peasants so passionately was that
she was losing members from the Roman Catholic Church to these
so-called “heretical” sects. When many Roman Catholics saw how moral, honest,
and hardworking such peoples as the Waldenses were compared to many of their
own Church members and clergy, they decided that there had to be something
better than what their own belief system offered them. Bottom line: The pope’s authority and power
base – and most importantly, his financial base – were being threatened
by defections of the “faithful”. As
more parts of Europe looked as though they might “defect” from Papal Rome,
she responded with barbaric crusades, religious wars, genocide, and
Inquisition!

The French Huguenots: (Per Webster’s New World Dictionary, Second
College Edition; 1974: A “Huguenot” is “any French Protestant of
the 16th or 17th century.”)
Here is a quotation from the book Smokescreens
(1983) by Jack Chick:
“On [the night of] August 24, 1572, the bloody St.
Bartholomew’s massacre began. This was to be one fatal blow to destroy
the Protestant movement in France. The [Roman Catholic] king of France
had cleverly arranged a marriage between his sister and Admiral Coligny, the
chief Protestant leader. There was a great feast with much celebrating. After four days of feasting, the soldiers
were given a signal. At twelve o’clock midnight, all the houses of the
Protestants in the city were forced open at once. The admiral was killed, his
body thrown out of a window into the street where his head was cut off and sent
to the pope.
…They also slaughtered
many other well-known Protestants. In
the first three days, over ten thousand were killed. The bodies were thrown into the river and
blood ran through the streets into the river until it appeared like a stream of
blood. …From Paris, the destruction spread to all parts of the
country. Over eight thousand more
people were killed. Very few
Protestants escaped the fury of the persecutors.” (Page 14)
The reasons for Papal Rome’s
attempts to exterminate the French Huguenots are basically the same
as her reasons (listed previously) for wanting to exterminate the Albigensian
and Waldensian Christians.
(4)
The Irish Protestants:
Here is a quote from the book Smokescreens
(1983) by Jack Chick:
“A similar massacre [Ed. Note: i.e., similar to the St.
Bartholomew’s Massacre of French Huguenots in 1572] occurred in Ireland in
1641. The [Roman Catholic] conspirators picked October 23rd,
the feast of Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order. They planned a
general uprising for the whole country. All Protestants would be killed at
once. To throw them [i.e., the Protestants] off guard while the plan was
being made, extra acts of kindness were shown to the Protestants. Early in the
morning [of October 23, 1641] the conspirators were armed and every
Protestant they could find was immediately murdered. They showed no
mercy. From children to the aged, they were killed. Even invalids were not spared. They were caught by complete surprise. They [i.e.,
the Protestants] had lived in peace and safety for years and now found no
place to run. They were massacred by neighbors, friends, and even
relatives.
Death often was the least they had to fear. Women were
tied to posts, stripped to the waist, their breasts cut off with shears and
left to bleed to death. Others who were
pregnant were tied to tree branches, their unborn babies cut out and fed to the
dogs while the husbands were forced to watch.” (Page 17)
((Ed.
Note: Similar atrocities occurred when the Roman Catholic Ustashi,
led by Franciscan priests, friars, and monks, slaughtered from 600,000 to
1 million innocent Serb Orthodox Christians in Fascist Croatia during
World War II.))
Jack T. Chick then gives us this
warning on page 17 of his book Smokescreens (1983) about the massacre
of Protestants (French Huguenots) in France in 1572, and the massacre of
Protestants in Ireland in 1641:
“What you’ve just read [about the massacre of Protestants in France in 1572,
and in Ireland in 1641] is fully documented and historically factual. It is found in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.
…Both of these murderous
assaults by the Vatican against the [Protestant] Christians in France
and in Ireland followed a similar pattern. Before the attacks, there was a time of healing when the
Roman Catholics became friendly and warm, and in both cases the [Protestant]
Christians were so relieved that they let their guard down and assumed
the Vatican had changed. This was their
fatal mistake and it cost them their lives.”
The reasons for Papal Rome’s
attempts to exterminate the Irish Protestants are basically the
same as her reasons (listed previously) for wanting to exterminate the
Albigensian and Waldensian Christians.
This same scenario of Papal
Rome-sponsored religious genocide was
repeated often on the European continent. Papal Rome also
ordered the massive slaughter of the Hussites in Bohemia. Dave Hunt, in his book A Woman Rides
the Beast, tells us: “Pope Martin V (1417-31) commanded the King of
Poland in 1429 to exterminate the Hussites (sympathizers with the
martyred Jan Hus)…” The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) was a
bloody religious war planned, orchestrated, and conducted by Papal Rome,
the Jesuit Order, and their surrogates with the goal of exterminating
all Protestants from off the face of the European continent. Only some great
military victories against Roman Catholic armies saved the remaining
Protestants in Europe from sharing the same fate [i.e., extermination]
that the Albigensian Christians had suffered centuries earlier.
TOTAL
NUMBER MURDERED: 600,000 to 1,000,000 innocent Serb Orthodox
Christians
Church-State genocide occurred
during World War II in Fascist Croatia, where Roman Catholic clergy energized,
orchestrated, urged on, participated in, and led one of the most brutal
genocides ever perpetrated in modern history. The clergy-led Roman Catholic Ustashi
tortured, crucified, raped, beat to death, butchered, and slaughtered from 600,000
to 1 million innocent Serb Orthodox Christian civilians. The vast
majority of the victims were simple farmers and peasants – and their
families. Many of the victims were
women, children, and the elderly. And
these barbarities occurred in the early 1940s! The horrors,
including vicious torture, that these clergymen and their murderous
accomplices committed against the innocent Serb Orthodox Christian people
matched – and probably surpassed – the worst horrors inflicted by any pagan
army in history.
This barbaric religious
genocide (i.e., “religicide”) had the full blessings of Papal
Rome (i.e., the Vatican), which had signed Concordats with both Nazi
Germany and Fascist Italy. The Jesuit and Franciscan orders in
Fascist Croatia played a major role in orchestrating and carrying out this
brutal religious genocide against the innocent Serb Orthodox Christian people.
((By
the way, the Nazi SS was modeled after the Jesuit Order,
and had a top-level Jesuit priest (Heinrich Himmler’s uncle) as a high
ranking SS officer!))
The Nazi genocide against the Jews
has been meticulously documented, as it should have been. So why is this barbarous religious
genocide against innocent Serb Orthodox Christians (that occurred in Fascist
Croatia in the 1940s) so little known? Who has had the power and
influence to keep accounts of this brutal religious genocide hidden from most
Americans?
((NOTE:
To learn more about this little-known (in America) genocide against innocent
Serb Orthodox Christians during World War II, please get a copy of the book The
Vatican’s Holocaust by Avro Manhattan.
Please see the last section of this newsletter for information on how to
order it.))
There is indeed a “serial killer”
– a mass murderer – who is firmly entrenched here in America. This “serial
killer” has never been brought to justice!
“He” was famous in Europe for his “murder sprees”. “He” would appear from time to time,
slaughter many innocents, and then go “under cover” until “his” thirst for
blood would cause “him” to make another appearance.
This “serial killer” is the “Holy
Office of the Inquisition” (and the Jesuit Order that now controls
it). Because of the “bad press” that
the Inquisition was given in many books written in Europe, the
Vatican changed the name to the much more benign “Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith” – an office long headed by Joseph Cardinal
Ratzinger, the current “white” pope of Rome! (The Jesuit Superior
General is known as the “Black Pope”.)
The Soviet (now Russian) Internal
Security agency has also changed its name a number of times: from Cheka
to OGPU to NKVD to KGB, and most recently to the “new” FSB. The name of this internal security
agency changed; however, their mission did not
change! Likewise, the mission of
the “Holy Office of Inquisition” has not
changed! And the mission of the
infamous Jesuit Order has not changed! A Roman Catholic
religious order, the Dominicans, initially ran the office of Inquisition. The Jesuit Order later took it from the Dominicans.
The “Holy Office of Inquisition” has frequently been guilty of “religicide”. To partially cover its bloody tracks,
it has frequently tortured “heretics”, and then turned them over to the State
(i.e., the government) for execution.
Here are two quotes that deal with
the subject of the Inquisition:
(1)
Dave Hunt, author of numerous books, tells us:
“To wring out confessions from
these poor creatures, the Roman Catholic Church devised ingenious tortures
so excruciating and barbarous that one is sickened by their
recital.” (A Woman Rides the Beast; 1994; Page 80)
(2)
This second quote also comes from Dave Hunt’s book A Woman Rides the
Beast (1994), and is by Church historian Bishop William Shaw Kerr:
“The most ghastly abomination of all
was the system of torture. The
accounts of its cold-blooded operations make one shutter at the capacity of
human beings for cruelty. And it
was decreed and regulated by the popes who ‘claim’
to represent Christ on earth…”
(Page 80)
NOTE:
The mission of the Jesuit Order was to destroy the Protestant
Reformation, and to eliminate any other “competition” to the Papacy. Their
primary “tools” have been infiltration, subversion, Inquisition, genocide,
and political intrigues (e.g., fomenting wars and revolutions).
Additionally, the Jesuits have literally hated
Jews, Orthodox Christians, Protestants, and Bible-believing Christians not
affiliated with major denominations, and have slaughtered, raped, tortured,
and butchered them whenever and wherever the opportunity presented
itself! The Jesuits, headed by
the “Black Pope” (i.e., the Jesuit Superior General), have also not
hesitated to assassinate “White Popes” who either “got out of line” or
tried to suppress the Jesuit Order (before the Jesuits had completely
taken over the Papacy). The Jesuits, for example, in 1769 poisoned to
death Pope Clement XIII the night before he was to sign a document suppressing
their order. In 1774 the Jesuits
poisoned to death Pope Clement XIV fourteen months after he had signed a
document banning the Jesuit Order. In
1978 Pope John Paul I was poisoned to death by agents of P-2 Masonry
(which is controlled by the Jesuit Superior General) as he was preparing to transfer
the many Masons in the Roman Curia out of their power positions within
the Vatican.
The Jesuits became so
hated in Europe that they were even expelled from many Roman
Catholic countries. Many predominantly Roman Catholic South American
countries also expelled the Jesuit Order. By 1931 the Jesuits had been expelled
from 83 countries, city-states, and cities!
Here is what Lady Queenborough had
to say on this topic back in 1933:
“They
[the Jesuits] were abolished by papal bull in 1773 at the
demand of France, Spain, Portugal, Parma, Naples and Austria. They are, however, still to be found
everywhere, and they hold considerable property in England. A modern writer justly calls them the ‘Black
International’.”
During this expulsion of the Jesuit
Order from much of Europe, please guess to which countries many of the Jesuit
priests fled? They fled to both England
and America – then strongholds of Protestantism. The Jesuits set up many prominent
universities in America, including the very famous JESUIT Georgetown
University.
Back in 1912 Jeremiah J. Crowley warned the American people: “Today they [i.e., the Jesuits] are stronger in the United States than they ever were in any of the countries of Europe which expelled them as a
