The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been actively forcing its poor villagers to remove Christian imagery from their homes and replace them with pictures of Mao Zedong and President Xi Jinping or lose their welfare benefits.

The story: In April, CCP officials visited believers in the city of Linfen in the northern province of Shanxi and targeted welfare recipients, warning them if they refused to remove crosses, icons, and other religious symbols they would lose their government benefits, according to the religious liberty magazine Bitter Winter.

“All impoverished households in the town were told to display Mao Zedong images,” a local pastor told the magazine. “The government is trying to eliminate our belief and wants to become God instead of Jesus.”

In May, a CCP official raided a home in the eastern province of Shandong, replacing Christian images with pictures of Mao Zedong and Xi Jinping, The Christian Post reported.

“These are the greatest gods. If you want to worship somebody, they are the ones,” the official told the family.

The Vatican is no longer concerned with the Christian. It wants a one world religion that is made of bits of all other religions.

But of course. Naturally they want people to worship Chairman Mao and not Jesus.

Remember that in spite of changes in communism in recent years in China, the Communist ideologies is officially atheistic.

We are in a world war. Clearly. It is not a shooting war, yet, but we are in that war.

When the USSR fell, and America and Reagan won, all the smarmy pseudo-intellectual morons and Marxists (same thing) became initially hateful (like Hillary after her election loss), then starting plotting. Anyone who doubts this needs a very, very strong (Red Bull-like) dose of reality. Arrogant morons who actually think they are the intelligentsia of the world are the pinheads causing this. No question.

Statues of Newsome, Nan, and Di Fi in all CA residences.

All equipped with built in camera and microphone so worship can be monitored.
