Today,
China’s Communist Partocracy commemorated its 70th anniversary of
coming to totalitarian power. This year, the infamous event in world history,
coincides with the Jews celebrating their New Year; Rosh Hashanah is both a Day
of Remembrance and a Day of Judgment. After 70 years, is a Day of Divine
Judgment coming upon China?
The
following articles are well worth reading to begin to comprehend
the human costs of communism “with Chinese characters.” Mao embarked on a
state planned “grassroots socialism,” to achieve his “Great Leap Forward.”
Instead, Mao’s economic planning resulted in a most severe political famine.
Helen Raleigh “…death toll during the Chinese famine ranged between 30 and 60 million. To understand the scale
of this atrocity, it is important to know that the estimated death toll for
World War II was 60 million. So Mao inflicted
human suffering in one country possibly equivalent to that of the entirety of
World War II.” *

Why
China at 70 needs to listen to the voices of those it silenced by James

As Communist China Turns 70, Its Dark Past Haunts
Its Future by By
Helen Raleigh OCTOBER 1, 2019
Raleigh:
"As communist China turns 70, an inevitable question is how long it will last.
All we know for sure is that 'those who forget history are condemned to repeat
it.'" "In
my autobiography, 'Confucius
Never Said,' I
documented
the suffering of my family at this time.
My
father lost a number of family members, including two uncles, his aunt and her
family of five, his maternal grandmother, and his favorite teacher from high
school during the famine. The
most devastating loss was his baby brother,… We
can only estimate that the death
toll during the Chinese famine
ranged between
30 and 60 million.
To
understand the scale of this atrocity,
it is important to know that the
estimated death toll for World War II was 60 million.
So
Mao inflicted human suffering in one country possibly equivalent to that of the
entirety of World War II.
---While
millions of Chinese people were starving to death,
China
continued to provide food to other countries, including the murderous Khmer
Rouge regime in Cambodia.* Many
people inside and outside China credit Chinese Communist leader Deng Xiaoping
for saving China through economic reform.
But
the truth is that we wouldn’t talk about the economic miracle in China today if
not for 18 ordinary villagers in Xiaogang village of Anhui Province. In
1979,
tired of constant starvation, these
farmers proposed a bold idea to their village leaders.
The
leaders would secretly allow these farmers to be responsible for the gain and
loss of their own production in the field.
Extra
production exceeding the government quota belonged to the farmers who produced
it.
Farmers
were allowed to sell their extra produce in the black market. The
village leaders ran the risk of being executed as
counter-revolutionaries
if this arrangement were discovered. So
they signed a “life and death” contract,
which stated that farmers agreed to take care of the leaders’ families if
anything bad happened to them. This gamble paid off. Once set free, the
production and the standard of living of these farmers increased in a very short
time."*PCB:

MAOISM:
A GLOBAL HISTORY By Julia Lovell Knopf, 610 pages
"The
most impressive sections of Ms. Lovell’s book are well-researched accounts of
Maoism in Indonesia,
Cambodia, Africa, South America and India.
For
French Maoist aficionados in the 1960s, Ms. Lovell writes, the era was seen
as “one long, fantastic liberation fiesta.”
"Ms.
Lovell’s account of the Maoist cult
in Europe is sound,
and damning." PS
PCB: I
don’t know if she dealt with the Maoist cult by Canada’s Mao sympathizers
Jacques Hebert – and Pierre Trudeau; in 1958 the two traveled to
China. Trudeau became Prime Minister and appointed Hebert to
the Canadian Radio and Television Commission as well as Co-Chaired A
Task Force on Cultural
Policy
(global and national). In 1980, Hebert called
for the launching of a "Building Bee for Peace in Canada ". '"To
get the operation well under-way, we must, from the very first day of the first
year, use absolutely every means to mobilize each and every citizen of Canada:
Members of Parliament and other community leaders, workers and bosses, scholars
and non-scholars, professionals and unemployed, artists and drop-outs:
everyone. During
the first six months we'll organize an information blitz such as has never been
seen in the world [except, perhaps, in Mao's
China
