PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, February 8, 1980
Page 2
Vladimir Lenin must be accounted to have possessed the qualities of
GREATNESS, if not holiness which he abhored, or RIGHTNESS! It was during
World War I, in 1917, that Lenin led his band of fanatically-dedicated
men, including, originally, Joseph Stalin, and Leon Trotsky. The latter
defected to South America.
It all started with an inner core, the original founders of the
Communist Party.
Lenin's idea was not alone to conquer the minds--that is, the pocket­
books and the hearts of the Russian people--but those of the WHOLE WORLD.
As Jesus Christ is to rule the WHOLE WORLD at His now soon coming,
Satan moved men of the human GREATNESS of men like Marx and Lenin, to
attempt to beat Christ to it!
Therefore the Communist PARTY was formed, not merely as the ONE
political Party to be allowed in Russia--but an INTERNATIONAL PARTY
active in all nations!
Before World War II the Communist Party in the United States was
making great headway. They began infiltrating our colleges and univer­
sities. If they could not "convert" professors, they worked on students
who would become teachers later. Thus they were recruiting TEACHERS to
teach their doctrine all over the United States.
And don't think they were overlooking Britain, France, Italy, Spain
and Portugal, and Germany where the idea was first hatched. But they did
sow the seeds in China, and left it for the Chinese Communists, like Mao
Tse-tung, and Chow En-lai and present Vice-Chairman Tan Zehn-Lin, to
organize a Chinese Communist Party and put two of the three largest
nations on earth under Communism. However, the Chinese Communism is
different, and Vice-Chairman Tan told me it is the Russians who have
departed from original,pure Communism. But you will see a very large
statue of Lenin, along with the late Mao, in Peking.
Communism has also
made big inroads in Southeast Asia.
They almost took over both Singapore
and Indonesia (fifth most populous nation), which just barely escaped
Communism only a few years ago.
The GOAL is to bring the WHOLE WORLD under Communism. The Russians
admit conditions in their country are not yet perfect--but they saw the
real benefits of Communism cannot be experienced and enjoyed until the
whole world has become Communist.
Now as to Russian Communist strategy. They admit they cannot conquer
all nations without one final all-out military war. But to them that is
the LAST RESORT, but that is the primary reason for keeping the Soviet
Union military strength at either number one or number two in the world.
But their first approach is EDUCATION. It is not alone education in
Communism. It is, first, education on the EVILS of other systems (which
are many). Second is the advantages of Communism. For example, they knew
how to plunge New York City into total darkness one night. All electric­
ity was cut off. Subway trains stopped in their dark tubes--passengers
unable to move from their cars.
