The Red flag was used as a slogan of battle, and there is a reference to it in this sense in the London Gazette of 1666. This significance is clearly derived from blood The hammer and sickle on the red flag of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics are also important symbols. Whereas Hitler chose an ancient symbol meaning well being for his red flag, the Communists chose symbols with a sinister connotation. In Oliver Day Streets Symbolism Of The Three Degrees (George H. Doran Company, New York, 1922) the hammer is described as a symbol of destruction from prehistoric times.

But, what these propagandists of the War Resisters League do not say is that the design was adopted from one created by the infamous Bertrand Russell. The Catholic Denver Register was less reticent.

The Daily Worker, official newspaper of the Communist Party, U.S.A., quoted Russell on October 26, 1931, as declaring: There is no hope in anything but the Soviet way. At the time, he headed the English section of the Communist League and followed the Communist Line so Hitler-Stali- n Pact he actually claimed to be a completely that during the period of the great admirer of Adolf Hitler. Bertrand Russell was serving as Chairman of the British By the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. During an interview with columnist Joseph AJsop on February 19, 1958, he explained why. Unilateral disarmament, he told Alsop, is likely to mean, for a while, Communist domination of this world of if the alternatives are the eventual extinction of mankind and a. temporary ours Communist conquest, I prefer the latter. Yes, Russell was an ideal figure to devise a peace symbol for the Communists. As a noted philologist, mathematician, and dabbler in philosophy, he was thoroughly he knew that he familiar with classical symbology. As an equally active had chosen a classical design long associated with Satanism. He hated the very thought of God. I am a dissenter from all known religions, he wrote in The Will To Doubt, and I hope that every kind of religious belief will die. Bertrand Russells design fits that philosophy perfectly. In Bernard Koerners Handbuch der Herald Kunst (four volumes, Gorlitz Schlef, 1920), the peace symbol later adopted for the Comrades by Russell appears both as a feature of right-sid- e alphabets. The Germanic up and upside-dow- n tribes who used it attributed strange and mystical properties to the sign. Such a rune in pagan incantations and black magicians is said to have been used by the upright use of condemnations. In Volume One of the Koerner book (Pp. 248-26this fork symbol was identified as representing Man. Inverted (as it is in the Russell e the fallen-ma- n rune, or the dead-ma- n design) it meant die gesturzte rune.

Erics researches into the origins of symbolism confirmed that the gesture of despair motif has been associated through ancient history with the death of man, and the circle with the unborn symbol. But why would Lord Russell choose a perversion of the Christian cross as a symbol for the radicalization of British Current Biography provides the impor and that both he and his wife were tant facts that Russell was an active a secret fellowship of wealthy Marxists bound to members of the Fabian Society work for the ultimate victory of international socialism. George Bernard Shaw, one of. the founders of the Fabian Society, revealed that this goal was to be achieved by stealth, intrigue, subversion, and the deception of never calling Socialism by its right name.'Fabian official John Strachey, typical of this group, admitted to the New York Times that Like all Socialists, I believe that the Socialist Society evolves in time into the Communist society. It is not at all surprising that the Communists would turn to Russell to design their peace sign. A Marxist from his earliest youth, he greeted the Russian Revolution nt The first mark on paper was a white circle against a black square. This was followed by various versions of Christian crosses drawn within the white spere sic on a black background and these in turn gave way to the final ND form Immediately following the First March (there had been previous small scale Aldermaston demonstrations) an ND badge version of the Symbol was devised be- Education And Speech Review Policies, Part 6, 1962) it is established that Bertrand Russell encouraged the at Aldermaston by show of force thousands of British students against NATO defense and for rapprochement with Communism.

Another esoteric symbol of the international socialist movement is the joined or the ancient sign of the god Fides. Mackey s Symbolism says this clasped hands design has been used historically to denote fidelity. It is now used by the Freemasons, the A.F.L.-C.I.Oand is frequently reproduced in the Communist Daily World to indicate union between Comrades. This insignia is the official symbol of the Communist-controlleStudent Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and serves as the logo for the Trotsky ite Communists Workers World. But surely the most omnipresent symbol used currently by the international socialists is the one which we are told is a sign of peace. The Communists love peace. You will remember that Lenin t declared more than forty years ago in The Tasks Of The Youth League that: As an ultimate objective, peace simply means And the Communist world control. Communists are campaigning for precisely that sort of peace. Their symbol is a part of the trappings of this scheme. Resembling a chicken track enclosed in a bomber in vertical circle, or a swept-win- g like the flight, the peace insignia other symbols of the international socialreflects what Lenin called that ists cursed Aesopian language. According to the radical World Without War Council: The Peace Action Symbol was. designed on February 21, 1958 for use in the first Aldermaston Easter Peace Walk in England. The symbol is the composite semaphore signal for the letters N and D standing for Nuclear Disarmament. The meaning of the symbol has broadened as other groups Action, Student Peace Union, American Friends Service (Committee for Committee, etc.) have used it A less guarded commentary on the origin and meaning of this symbol appeared in Win magazine, an official publication of the subversive War Resisters League. On Page of Win for October 1, 1969, we read that the Nuclear Disarmament twenty-seve- n Symbol was adopted immediately by Hugh Brock and Pat Arrowsmith on behalf of the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (London) who initiated and organized the first Aldermaston March at Easter of that year 7955. According to the authoritative Intelligence Digest , both Brock and Arrowsmith' have for years been affiliated with Communist enterprises in Europe.
