Worldwide ode to Communism

The recent death of Nelson Mandela, a communist by every definition, has attracted enormous response world wide with declarations of sympathy – all with the full complicity of the entire mainstream media – they are all now serving one master. Flags have been lowered everywhere and newspapers, TV and the internet run round-the-clock coverage of the event. The days of the former USSR seem to have been long forgotten. Russia somehow has just been “cleansed” and “transformed” into a word wide force of good. Obama himself did not miss the opportunity to praise Mandela as “the last great liberator of the 20th century” and urged the world to continue his life’s work for justice and equality. Few are indeed still recognizing the truth for what it is.

Readers of our site may remember our recent articles on the subject of christian-communism:

Pope trashes capitalism and calls for worldwide socialism
Google zeitgeist social justice and Orthodoxy
The beast that was and is not, but shall appear again
The harlot of the apocalypse
The dragon of the apocalypse

As we have been trying to show, the fall of Communism in Russia was not random, but a carefully orchestrated event meant to bring about a new form of communism, a spiritual one. Today, one of the little known quotes of Mikhail Gorbachev made just before the “fall” of Communism, resonates stronger than ever:

We are witnessing most profound social change. Whether in the East or the South, the West or the North, hundreds of millions of people, new nations and states, new public movements and ideologies have moved to the forefront of history. Broad-based and frequently turbulent popular movements have given expression, in a multidimensional and contradictory way, to a longing for independence, democracy and social justice. The idea of democratizing the entire world order has become a powerful socio-political force. At the same time, the scientific and technological revolution has turned many economic, food, energy, environmental, information and population problems, which only recently we treated as national or regional ones, into global problems. Thanks to the advances in mass media and means of transportation, the world seems to have become more visible and tangible. International communication has become easier than ever before.

The complicity of the entire media is sometimes even being revealed in the mainstream media itself. FoxNews had a recent article in which they did recognize this mass mind-control experiment, but just like all other reports, it mainly goes unobserved in the sea of worldwide propaganda:

My fellow Catholics should be suspicious when bastions of anti-Catholicism in the left-wing media are in love with him (the pope). Much is being made of his ‘compassion’ and ‘humility,’ but kissing babies and hugging the sick is nothing new. Every pope in recent memory has done the same, yet only now are the media paying attention. Benedict XVI and John Paul II refused to kowtow to the liberal agenda, and so such displays of tenderness were under-covered.

The mainstream media carefully counter-balances any articles like this with others like the following one, which portrays the pope as a leader in the fight against the ruling elite:

And just to make the media complicity complete, today we hear that Pope Francis has been named the “person of the year” by the time Magazine.

“He took the name of a humble saint and then called for a church of healing”

The calls for Communism as a solution to all injustices are widespread. One can hardly open a newspaper of a news website without coming across it. Take this for example:
