Many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

J. Edgar Hoover, Masters of Deceit: The Story of Communism In America and How to Fight It (Pocket Books, 1959). This is considered the top anti-communist book ever written. This book, along with Dr. V. Raymond Edman’s sermon “The Big Lie,” served as the basis for Dr. Rice’s preaching against communist ideas.

1984 (Virgin Films, 1984). Available on VidAngel to clear out the bad stuff. This is what I used for the clip at the beginning of the podcast. This story was inspired by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. A terrifying depiction of a state where the government controls thought itself (brainwashing). Deeply anti-totalitarian and often interpreted as a critique of Marxist regimes, especially Stalinism. Strongest philosophical and psychological portrayal of the loss of freedom.

The Printing (Unusual Films, 1990). Censorship of Bible printers in the Soviet Union. This movie might be the clearest at communicating the how Marxist ideology criminalizes Christianity, suppresses free speech, and controls nearly every aspect of life. Even printing a Bible is seen as a punishable offense. Freedom of conscience and speech are shown as completely annihilated under Marxist rule. Unlike other films that touch on broader themes (war, oppression, personal stories), The Printing is focused explicitly on the suppression of freedom under Marxist ideology. There’s no ambiguity—the government is Marxist, and the loss of freedom is total and ideological.

China Cry (TBN Films, 1990). Persecution and torture of Christians by Chinese communist soldiers. Exposes the horrors of communist China’s ideological purges, forced conformity, and abuse of dissidents. Strong anti-communist message, particularly regarding religious and personal freedoms.

Doctor Zhivago (MGM, 1965). Depicts the communist revolution that happened in Russia under Vladimir Lenin starting in 1917. What happens when Marxist ideas take over a government. Its awful.

Tortured for Christ (VOM, 2018). Persecution and torture of Christians by Romanian communist soldiers. Shows the brutality of Marxist regimes, especially toward Christianity.

The Twilight Zone. “Death’s Head Revisited,” “In the Presence of Mine Enemies,” “The Obsolete Man,” and “He’s Alive,” are all against Nazism, Hitler, and totalitarianism.

Schindler’s List (Universal Pictures, 1993). Available on VidAngel and Clearplay to clear out the bad stuff. Portrays life in Nazi concentration camps.

The Hiding Place (World Wide Pictures, 1975). Portrays life in Nazi concentration camps. Persecution of Jews and Christians.

Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand (VOM, 2009). Documentary.

The Truth About Communism (Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, 1962).

Communism and Co-Existence (Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, 1963).

Russia claimed to be the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and so Russia really was a socialist republic. That is, communism is socialism. There is no real difference. One avowedly takes the way of terrorism and murder and anarchy, while the other seeks the same end by infiltration, propaganda, creeping socialism. So communism and Karl Marx’s socialism are really out-and-out enemies of the Bible.
–Dr. John R. Rice, False Doctrines Answered, p. 379–

We stand for organized terror–
this should be frankly admitted.
Terror is an absolute necessity
during times of revolution.

U.S. Department of State, “2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Saudi Arabia.” There were no significant changes in the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia during the year. Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: arbitrary or unlawful killings; disappearances; torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; arbitrary arrest and detention; transnational repression against individuals in another country; serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom, including unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists and censorship; restrictions of religious freedom; and prohibiting independent trade unions or significant or systemic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association. The government did not take credible steps or action to identify and punish officials who committed human rights abuses in a verifiable way.

—. “2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: United Kingdom.” The human rights situation worsened in the United Kingdom during the year. Significant human rights issues included credible reports of serious restrictions on freedom of expression, including enforcement of or threat of criminal or civil laws in order to limit expression; and crimes, violence, or threats of violence motivated by antisemitism. The government sometimes took credible steps to identify and punish officials who committed human rights abuses, but prosecution and punishment for such abuses was inconsistent.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
–Luke 16:25-26 (KJV)–

²⁵ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
–Luke 16:25-26 (NKJV)–

²⁵ “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: ⁴⁸ Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
–Mark 9:47-48 (KJV)–

⁴⁷ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire–⁴⁸ where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
–Mark 9:47-48 (NKJV)–

⁴⁷ And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, ⁴⁸ where “‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
–Mark 9:47-48 (NIV)–

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
–Revelation 14:11 (KJV)–

And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.
–Revelation 14:11 (NKJV)–

And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.

HE WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE PUNISHMENT THAT BROUGHT US PEACE WAS ON HIM, AND BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED.
–Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)–

God, we thank you and we lift up our requests
Holy Spirit manifest
Give us the words to minister
Open minds, soften hearts, in Jesus’ name
Lost souls
I want to tell you ‘thank you’, Jesus
People your eyes are blind
Make new your hearts
(Throw away selfishness, works won’t save.)
My God help us to be bold, amen, pointless, worthless, lifeless life
(This world and its lusts will fade away)
There’s nothing you can to do to stop it, dunamis
Power (You can’t stop it dunamis) lost souls
(“This burning feeling inside of me
I hold this blood in my hands, it runs over exceedingly
I shall not break my stance.”)
Satan we expose you, you’re a liar
You’re a liar
Satan we rebuke you in the name of Jesus

–Eso-Charis, “Dunamis”–
