Jihad and cannibalism

It’s interesting to note that Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf means “My Struggle,” the same meaning of the word “Jihad.”

In an article by John Perazzo, author of the book “The Myths That Divide Us: How Lies Have Poisoned American Race Relations,” he writes about the famine engineered by Josef Stalin that artificially induced death in peacetime on a scale unsurpassed in the recorded history of mankind (affecting 40 million people).

“ . . . In general, the areas that were the richest agriculturally suffered most from the famine - quite simply because it was not a natural disaster but rather a calamity carefully engineered by Stalin himself.”

Perazzo reports that while “thousands were succumbing to starvation each day, the Soviet government continued to export huge quantities of grain abroad ‘in the interests of industrialization’—taking the official position that all was well in the USSR.

“When foreign dignitaries visited the country, the GPU led them exclusively to areas where the appalling stench of death did not fill the air, and where all signs of the human misery that permeated the land had been hidden from view.”

Now that we are seeing how potent the media is in deceiving a populace by cleverly propagating lies and bias and conveniently leaving out or disregarding facts, it’s not so hard to believe, as Perazzo writes, “Apart from those who were deceived, there were also many willing accomplices - particularly in the press - who were willing to ignore, or even to falsify their accounts of, the horrors they saw firsthand throughout Stalin's empire.

“Most notable was Walter Duranty, the New York Times Moscow correspondent in the 1930s, who concealed his knowledge of the great famine and Stalin's mass murders.

“In 1933, for instance, when the famine was at its height, Duranty wrote that ‘village markets [were] flowing with eggs, fruit, poultry, vegetables, milk and butter. . . . A child can see this is not famine but abundance.’

“Duranty's various dispatches during this period included also the following: ‘There is no famine or actual starvation, nor is there likely to be’ (New York Times, Nov. 15, 1931); ‘Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda’ (New York Times, August 23, 1933); ‘There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation, but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition’ (New York Times, March 31, 1933).

“Duranty's reports were not founded in ignorance; he knew very well that they were utterly false. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting.”

As a succinct overall assessment of Stalin’s lasting influence, Perazzo summarizes, “The great famine had an enormous effect on Soviet society and the character of the Soviet people. It fostered a proliferation of tyrants and local despots who, eager to please their superiors and ultimately Stalin himself, were prepared to resort to any measures to strip the starving peasants of every last morsel of food. It also led to the desperate abandonment of countless children and the rise of cannibalism.

“Coupled with these developments were the establishment of death camps and the unpredictable atrocities of Stalin's secret police. Barbarism and corruption became the defining characteristics of Soviet life.”

In Israel’s “national anthem,” written in song by Moses in Deuteronomy 32, the last verse takes the reader over to the Book of Revelation with its prophetic context being about the Second Coming of Christ, when He comes to ‘avenge the blood of his servants.’

Jordan explains, “The ending (of the national anthem) brings up a strangely fascinating issue in Rev. 17:9. John’s going to identify for you what the woman represents—who she is and what she’s doing.

“The seven heads are the seven mountains upon which the woman sitteth. Notice in verse 16 the issue about eating her flesh--those ten kings that reign with the Antichrist are demonic kings who are cannibals.”

“Verses 16-17 say, ‘And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
[17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.’

“What we’re talking about here is the Antichrist. He’s going to be in the land of Palestine. He’s going to be raised up ‘in the land.’ That’s where he comes from. This is an issue that takes place in the Middle East. It takes place ‘in the land’ God’s interested in reclaiming.

“In Psalm 53, a psalm associated with the ‘last days’ and the tribulation and with the Antichrist, verse 4 says, ‘Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.’

“It’s like they’re eating the bread, but when they’re eating the bread, they’re eating ‘my people.’ It’s like the bread turns into his people!

Deuteronomy 28 and 29, the chapters leading up to Israel’s national anthem, rehearse the Five Courses of Judgment Israel goes under.

Verse 53 reads, “And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:thou shalt eat the flesh of thy own body.”

Jordan says, “What he’s talking about here is in that 5^th course of judgment things are going to be so bad in Israel that ‘thou shalt eat the fruit of thy own body.’

“Somebody says, ‘Well, Brother Rick, nobody’s ever going to do that!’ But if you go to II Kings 6, you’ll see records of people doing it! Starvation got that bad!

“Lamentations says that a mother will ‘eat her baby a span long.’ A span is 18 inches. Things are going to be so bad that parents, even mothers, will wind up eating their own children in order to survive!

“Specifically, Lamentations 2:20 reads, ‘Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?’

“When the siege came up, Nebuchadnezzar carried them away; he didn’t just come up. I mean, you read that and say, ‘Did things ever get THAT bad?!’ ”
