Read the following brief outline by Frère Michel. Upon reflection as well as on reading "Countdown to Destruction" in this issue you can see how this lesson from history applies to current events in the Middle East. The conclusion is clear. You must do all you can to promote Fatima. The truth that Our Lady of Fatima tells us infallibly is that if Her requests are not granted "Russia will raise up WARS," and "Russia is the instrument of chastisement chosen by Heaven to punish the whole world (for its crimes) if we do not obtain the conversion of that poor nation."

Taken from The Whole Truth About Fatima
               by Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité

After Stalin 'backed' Hitler and then amassed whole chinks of Europe after the 3rd Reich fell, so Gorbachev supports Iraq and after the devastation of war in the Middle East, Communist Russia will the spoils of war of over 1/3 of the world's oil supply.

"The War Of Hitler" Or The War Of Moscow?

       In refutation of our critics, who wrongly and too hastily considered as historically evident what in reality was a very partial and superficial view of history of World War II, gradual access to secret archives has allowed us to establish one fact more and more clearly. Bolshevik Russia was not only the great beneficiary of this atrocious war, but it was also the most effective active accomplice of the Nazis, and even instigated the war. This historical truth gives the Fatima Secret an unexpected profundity: we will establish conclusively that because Stalin's Russia was not converted, because it was allowed to pursue its political double-dealing with diabolical Machiavellianism, the Second World War broke out only twenty years after the original slaughter of 1914-1918.

War, The Ultimate Objective

       It would not be false to apply the well-known adage to Stalin: is fecit cui prodest. (The one who took action was the one with something to gain.) This indeed is one of the first points that can be solidly established: Stalin had foreseen for many years this European war between Germany and the Anglo-French bloc, he had desired it and he had taken all possible measures to provoke it. He had the highest interest in doing so. Already on January 22, 1934, Kaganovich, Stalin's brother-in-law, had avowed in Izvestia: "The conflict between Germany and France reinforces our situation in Europe ... We must widen the differences between the European states."³⁰

The Germano-Soviet Accord

       The Germano-Soviet accord was the masterpiece of this clever policy, whose ultimate, declared and considered end was the European war, which in every respect would profit the USSR and the international Left. Far from being a last minute arrangement, it had been, on the contrary, Stalin's major objective, as Sovietologists have gradually discovered.

       Originally the Kremlin had worked for Germany's recovery, and even for Hitler's stunning rise to power. A. Rossi, one of the experts of Soviet history writes:

       "In 1917, the Bolshevik leaders were convinced that the fate of the new regime in Russia depended on what kind of relations it succeeded in establishing with Germany." After 1920, "to a politically isolated Germany, they offered a common chance of 'rebuilding', and the first pact was signed in April, 1922, at Rapallo ...

       "The idea was to exploit the resentments and sufferings of a defeated Germany and make her an ally in the struggle against the Western powers ... It was also a question of jumping out of the straitjackets of the Versailles treaty ... When the rise of the National Socialist movement became obvious and menacing after 1930, Stalin was not troubled at all; on the contrary, he rubbed his hands ... And he squarely played the "Nazi card" ... the idea was to aggravate Hitler's pressure and pit it against Western Europe. If the operation succeeded sooner or later there would be a war, from which only Russia would be preserved.

       "These perspectives and calculations were in no way changed when Hitler later came into power."³¹

       To provoke the war, the USSR had to come to an understanding with Germany. "Stalin's international policy during these first ten years" — wrote a high Soviet official in 1939 — "was nothing more than a series of maneuvers designed to put him in a favorable position to deal with Hitler."³² In 1982, Heller and Nekrich give numerous and solid proofs of this interpretation of Stalin's policy.³³ Among others, there is the following: when Germany, in 1935, broke the military provisions of the Treaty of Versailles and restored compulsory military service, "Stalin showed his understanding and even approved this new step towards war. At the end of March, 1935, he said to Anthony Eden during the course of their conversations in the Kremlin: 'Sooner or later the German people had to liberate themselves from the chains of Versailles ... I repeat, a great people like the German people had to cast away the chains of Versailles'."³⁴

"The Crusade Of The Democracies"

       But while Moscow secretly informed Berlin of its desire to arrive at an understanding, and even proposed on December 21, 1935, "a bilateral non-aggression pact", Stalin pushed England and France into war against Hitler. After having entered the League of Nations on September 18, 1934, on May 2, 1935, Stalin signed a treaty of mutual assistance with France. From that moment until August, 1939, the communists became the most fervent apostles of the "crusade of the democracies" against Nazism, and the fiercest supporters of an immediate and all-out war against Germany.³⁵ It was necessary, no matter what the cost, to defend Poland and die for Danzig!

The Cynical Double-Dealing Which Led To War

       Although publicly anti-Nazi, Stalin had continually been making secret advances to Germany and looking for an alliance with her. The stages of this rapprochement were outlined in 1933 and became very clear after October, 1938: excellent accounts are found in Heller and Nekrich, or Rossi. "The secret archives of the Wihelmstrasse" also testify to this process.³⁶

       Stalin's cynical double-crossing is well known. On August 23, 1939, while the English and French military delegations were still at Moscow, the Germano-Soviet non-aggression pact had been signed. Hitler had accepted all of Stalin's demands. Stalin was to receive his share of the dismemberment of Poland, along with the Baltic states in the north and Bessarabia in the south. With reason do Heller and Nekrich write:

       "The conclusion of the accords with Hitler's Germany crowned Stalin's efforts to forge a Soviet-German alliance ... 'It is difficult to overestimate the international importance of the Soviet-German pact,' Molotov declared on August 31, 1939. 'It is a turning point in the history of Europe and not just of Europe.'"

       Nekrich then comments, again with reason:

       "It was true. A turning point really had taken place in the history of Europe and the world: the Soviet Union had opened the door to a war by signing a pact with Germany ... One week later, on September 1, Germany attacked Poland. It was the beginning of the Second World War."³⁷

       To summarize: Stalin desired a war, the longest war possible, where his adversaries would be mutually exhausted. Then late in the game, he would intervene on the side of the victors, and walk away with all the fruits of the victory.³⁸ He was able to maneuver perfectly to achieve these ends:

       1) By contributing to Germany's recovery.

       2) By supporting since 1933, and especially since 1935, the warmongering designs of Judeo-Masonry, which had decided on provoking a war against Hitler.

       3) By continuing at the same time to let the Fuhrer know that he desired to reach an understanding with him, and would not in any way oppose his expansionist projects.

       4) Finally, by concluding his famous pact with Ribbentrob in August, 1939, he encouraged Hitler to attack Poland, certain that this offensive would definitely provoke a declaration of war by France and England.

       Since his rise to power, Stalin had made this horrible war the major objective of his foreign policy. He was bold enough to say it publicly on May 22, 1939: "The renewal of broad international action will not be possible unless we succeed in exploiting the antagonisms between the capitalist states, to precipitate them into an armed conflict. The principal work of our communist parties must be to facilitate such a conflict."³⁹

       Here is the key to the apparently inconsistent and contradictory maneuverings of Bolshevik policy between the two world wars. In the end, nobody could have desired this war more than Stalin — not even Hitler, and certainly not Mussolini, who had been drawn into it by the democracies' odious attitudes towards him. Nobody could have desired this war for so long, nobody could have planned it so cold-bloodedly, and cause it to break out at the right time, and according to the interests of world communism. Nobody could have profited from it more than the USSR, since at the end of this war its empire became the vastest empire in the entire globe.
