“Political Ponerology” is the name given by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej M. £obaczewski to an interdisciplinary study of the founders (i.e., Karl Marx, International atheist Jews) and gentile financiers of 20th century totalitarian political regimes. His study utilizes data from psychology, sociology, philosophy, and history to account for the propagation of man’s inhumanity to man through such phenomena as terrorism, aggressive war, ethnic cleansing, ostracism, genocide, and despotism:
“As many as 7 million Ukrainians were starved in Soviet Socialist dictator Joseph Stalin’s artificial, forced famine in Ukraine in 1932 and 1933. This is approximately the total population of Manitoba, Newfoundland, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.” (Inky Mark, M. P. Dauphin – Swan River House of Commons 2 June 1998, Famine-Genocide in Ukraine 1932-1933)
“Moscow employed the famine as a political weapon against the Ukrainians in the years 1932-1933. The famine was in its entirety artificially induced and organized.” ( Investigation of Communist Takeover and Occupation of the Non-Russian Nations of the U.S.S.R p. 35)
“… On one side, millions of starving peasants, their bodies often swollen from lack of food; on the other, soldiers, members of the GPU carrying out the instructions of the dictatorship of the proletariat. They had gone over the country like a swarm of locusts and taken away everything edible; they had shot or exiled thousands of peasants, sometimes whole villages; they had reduced some of the most fertile land in the world to a melancholy desert.” ( Malcolm Muggeridge, “War on the Peasants,” Fortnightly Review, 1 May, 1933)
“Food is a weapon.” ( Maxim Litvinov – Soviet Commissar of Foreign Affairs)
According to the authors of “The Black Book of Communism,” Communist and Socialist regimes did not just commit criminal acts but were criminal enterprises in their very essence:
“…all ruled lawlessly and without regard for human life (and) one particular feature of many Communist regimes (was) their use of famine as a weapon. The Bolsheviks had decided to eliminate…any challenge or resistance, even if passive, to their absolute power. This strategy applied not only to groups with opposing political views, but also to such social groups as the nobility, the middle class, the intelligentsia…the clergy…military officers and the police.” (pp. xvii, 8-9)
Atheist Jews (Bolsheviks) systematically stole the personal property of Russians, sexually perverted their children, conditioned children to hate Jesus Christ, their own parents, the Orthodox Christian church and their homeland. They also undermined and destroyed the traditional family, unleashed a holocaust of abortion, homosexualized children. and culture, desecrated and blasphemed churches, crucified thousands of nuns and priests and in general, committed monstrous crimes against Orthodox and non-believing Russian gentiles which took the lives of more than 100-million men, women, and children. For example:
“About 200,000 clergy, many crucified, scalped and otherwise tortured, were killed during the approximately 60 years of communist rule in the former Soviet Union, a Russian commission reported this week. In addition, another 500,000 religious figures were persecuted and 40,000 churches destroyed in the period from 1922 to 1980, the report said. Half the country’s mosques and more than half the synagogues were also destroyed” Clergymen were crucified on churches’ holy gates, shot, scalped [and] strangled,” said Alexander Yakovlev, head of the Commission for the Rehabilitation of the Victims of Political Repression. The commission prepared the report for Russian President Boris Yeltsin. “I was especially shocked by accounts of priests turned into columns of ice in winter,” Yakovlev said. “It was total cruelty.” (paulbogdanor.com)
“Persecution and martyrdom of Christians under 20th century totalitarianism – mainly of Russian Orthodox Christians under Bolshevism – is by far the greatest crime in all of recorded history….Attempts at “killing the soul” started only months after the Revolution of 1917.” Persecution and martyrdom was, “several times greater than the Holocaust in terms of innocent lives brutally destroyed. It has killed more Christians in a few decades than all other causes put together in all ages, with Islam a distant second as the cause of their death and suffering. And yet it still remains a largely unknown, often minimized, or scandalously glossed over crime.”(New Martyrs of the East and Coming Trials in the West, Srdja Trifkovic, OrthodoxyToday.com)
Though Lobaczewski’s study is a clinically accurate description of the nature of human evil it falls into the error of attributing evil to biological causes rather than the sin nature of man. Despite this failing, Political Ponerology is a shocking account of large scale evil super-heated by hatred of the Holy God and burning with envy, malevolence, and will to power – or what Lobaczewski terms ‘ponerogenic processes’ that overtook modern Russia and have overtaken whole societies and nations since time immemorial.
Unfolding the Meaning of Poneros
Poneros is the Spirit of the Evil One:
‘The passion which causes evil, the father of death, the first entrance for sin, the root of wickedness, the birth of sorrow, the mother of misfortune, the basis of disobedience, the beginning of shame. Envy banishes us from paradise….Envy made Joseph a slave. Envy is the death-dealing sting, the hidden weapon, the sickness of nature, the bitter poison, the self-willed emaciation, the bitter dart, the nail of the soul, the fire in the heart, the flame burning on the inside…” (Life of Moses, Gregory of Nyssa, quoted in Death by Envy, Fr. George R.A. Aquaro, p. 74)
“Scripture combines envy with jealousy, covetousness and stinginess, into a single concept that is a manifestation of idolatry (narcissism) of self and belief that there is a limited supply of good…” (ibid)
Scripture attributes poneros to the Evil One, the leader of all forces of evil. The Evil One is the spirit of rebellion and negation, the father of lies, “the adversary” “the accuser,” “calumniator” and undiluted essence of envy who works through the principle of negation and rebellion in the fallen souls of lawless natural men:
“The evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil (poneros) things” Matthew 12:35
Poneros has played a part in human dynamics ever since the Evil One persuaded the envy-bitten Cain to murder his brother Abel, Judas to betray Jesus Christ, evil Powers and Pharisees to crucify Him, Saul to obsess over murdering David, Bolsheviks to brutally murder Orthodox Christians, priests, and even attempt to kill the souls of Christians at Pitesti Prison, Romania. Today, the politics of poneros are playing out in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon where whole cities and ancient villages and churches have been leveled, vast numbers of people–men, women, babies, children–slaughtered, and starving survivors forced to leave their homelands. At this level, Poneros is the Spirit of Cain:
“We Jews, we are the destroyers and will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet our demands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a world of our own.” – (You Gentiles, author Maurice Samuel, p. 155)
In the final analysis, malice and envy toward the Triune God, Jesus Christ in particular, His creation, and the human beings He created compels the envy-bitten atheist Jew to destroy creation and to annihilate his God-given soul/spirit by imagining he has an uncreated divine soul or divine spark and is therefore a chosen one with a mandate to destroy homelands and exterminate gentiles living there since they have the souls of animals.
This is the definition of damnation, said Fr. Aquaro. Hell is not a punishment meted out by a hateful Holy God as some would think, but an absolute refusal of a pardon granted all mankind. It is impossible to receive good from a person one envies, and so it is that one cannot be saved if one resents the Holy Triune God. This is the message of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-32 when the elder brother refused to enter the house upon his brother’s return. It is also the underlying meaning of CS Lewis’s pointed observation that the door to hell will be slammed and locked from inside:
“The man wakes from the final struggle of death, in absolute loneliness…Not a hint, not a shadow of anything outside his consciousness reaches him…Soon misery will beget on his imagination a thousand shapes of woe, which he will not be able to rule, direct, or even distinguish from real presences.” (C.S. Lewis: George MacDonald, an Anthology, p. 61)
One final cautionary note: there are real Jews, the Ultra Orthodox and Orthodox who are peaceful, productive, religious and live right here in our homeland. Then there are the genocidal Bolsheviks of the 20th century and their cousins today–genocidal Israeli Zionists, Chabad Lubavitcher Jews, Woke/Left, and Transhumanist jews (with exception of Musk) behind the building of data centers. All of these jews are ideologues who blame God for all evil and say Mary is a whore and Jesus Christ is in hell boiling in excrement. Let is not confuse the former, the spirit of peaceful Abel, with the latter, the spirit of Cain.
