What is the Left Hiding about the Spanish Republic?: The Red Terror
Los Enigmas del Tiempo ^ | 25/5/25

Posted on 06/27/2025 2:26:08 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

In this video, we reveal the truth about the left in the Spanish Republic during the Civil War. Discover the shocking history of religious persecution in Spain and the impact of the Law of Historical Memory on Spanish history. Throughout Spanish history, and more specifically during the Second Republic, Spanish politics and left-wing parties created an unbearable climate for certain segments of the Spanish population. In this video, we explore the burning of convents and churches that took place between May 11 and 13, 1931, when more than 100 religious buildings were set on fire in several Spanish cities, including Madrid, Malaga, Valencia, and Seville. In addition, we delve into the case of Joan Rovira i Roure, mayor of Lérida in 1936, who was sentenced to death and executed on August 27, 1936. His sentence was due, among other reasons, to the fact that, in his capacity as mayor, he authorized the celebration of the Three Kings' Parade in January 1936, defying the prohibitions on religious demonstrations imposed by the Republican authorities.

Interesting insight. Does this history clearly show the International Communist butchery ?

I may have mixed things up, but the Clergy in Central America was CLEARLY siding with the Communists.

Title could just as easily be: What is the Left Hiding about the Mexican Revolution of 1917?: The Red Terror

In 2020, definitely. Similarly in the UK.

What kind of anybody executes a small-town mayor for having a “Three Kings” procession. Disgusting.

Orwell advocated the anti-democratic system that all socialism is, but continually bemoaned the anti-democratic consequences of victory. And remember, Hillary said that the point of "1984" was, everyone should always obey the gov't.

A lifelong friend spent his college years as a commie wannabee, but I think his turning point came from two things -- one of his doinks of the time (she was tiresome to listen to, but easy), followed by his conversation at a Clash concert with an RCP (Revolutionary Communist Party) dip**** who was in his full 'look at me' regalia. After some period of time, my friend asked the clown a couple of questions and the mask came off as the brainwashing program responded.

During the 1976 POTUS campaign, a future family member had a poster for USLP Lyndon LaRouche up in his on-campus office. I'm pretty sure LL needs no introduction. Wikipedia scrubbed him from its page on the 1976 campaign, and its page on LL himself claims he went from far-left to far-right.

I've always thought that LaRouche may have / should have been the one used in that Apple "1984" commercial.

My future family member expressed concern about how LaRouche was getting money to run such a vast campaign. LaRouche blamed a lot of things on the CIA, a phenomenon perhaps best termed 'implausible undeniability'. Other practitioners claim that LaRouche himself was funded by the CIA.

The USLP/LaRouche on-campus 1976 campaign posters (unlike the big heroic-looking one in my FFM's office) had the message, "a vote for Carter will trigger thermonuclear war", and his infomercial in one of his later campaigns waxed rhapsodic about small-s socialism and how (apparently) the other kind (the only kind that actually exists) was a co-opting of what he regarded as the real kind. Yeah, that's a far-right position.

An old Korean War USAF vet recounted a story about sailing to France on an AVT carrying the latest version of the Saber Dog (radar equipped version of the F-86). The French dockyard workers (Le Havre( were all suspected Communists in 1947. Slinging the first F-86D over the side, the crane operator appeared to deliberately drop it hard onto the dock, badly damaging the plane. The ship’s Marine detachment surrounded the plane facing out, weapons hot.

I always suspected that DeGaulle was put up with by SHAEF and the other Western political leaders precisely to counter the heavy communist control of the French Resistance.

Watched this movie-Guernica. Pretty bad. The town of 1500 was bombed. Had to be Franco. Didn’t he have the planes?

It was the German Condor Legion (Luftwaffe) which bombed Guernica. The Nazis were there to help Franco against the Commies. Franco knew they were going to bomb Guernica which was in the hands of the Commies at the time - but it was the Germans who carried it out. It was not bad at all by WWII standards. It was just shocking to everybody because it was the first time an air force really bombed a city.

OMG. She’s either just plain evil, or utterly stupid. I vote for both.

Many years ago, I was home from school, watching a daytime movie the local station used to run (they were invariably films available on the cheap, generally either real bombs and/or obscurities). It was a Gregory Peck film about the Spanish Civil War and aftermath, but I could not make heads or tails of it at the time. Some years later I found out it was "Behold a Pale Horse" and I was urged to watch it by acquaintances at the credentialing/indoctrination mill (because it was SO good, and SO honest about Franco's inhumanity, and SO this, that and the other thing).

Watching it again was only valuable insofar as it provided me with another example of how eagerly Hollywood polishes the turd of communism.

“Also, don’t forget that between 23 August 1939 and 22 June 1941 the Nazis and the Communists were allies.”

Correct, and the French Communist Party, under instructions from Stalin, actively promoted defeatism when the Germans invaded in 1940. The Soviets were also providing the German war machine with food, fuel and other essentials at the same time.

NYT denied that Holodomor was happening in the 1930s, and after October 7 claimed that Israeli soldiers were indiscriminately killing children, mothers with suckling babes at their breasts, and old folks. The Left does not have any relationship to the truth. It’s all about agenda. If they have to say that Brandon is “sharp as a tack,” buhgawrsh, they will say it, until the lie becomes untenable so injurious to their agenda. Same thing with covering up leftist crimes in Spain, Cuba, China, Ukraine, or during the Pink Floyd (sic) riots.

That’s what comes of channeling the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt. What a flake.

Without question, which is why I consider him to be a good man, although he certainly could be a PITA sometimes.

Gregory Peck was a hardcore Leftist.
