The Fall of the West and the Path to Orthodoxy

For thirty long years, from 1992 to 2022, the ruling class of the Western Empire was able to act with impunity, it had a monopoly of power, for it lived in a multipolar world, without opposition. Those members of the ‘liberal’ Establishment could do whatever they wanted at that time and that is what they did: from asset-stripping the ‘Third World’, to buggering one another (having made that legal), to harvesting the organs of Kosovan Albanians, to pimping hungry and immoral Ukrainian girls (‘Russian brides’) (Epstein), or using them for surrogacy, and sodomising Ukrainian boys (a Prime Minister). After all, they believed in ‘liberalism’, meaning do whatever you want, rape and plunder others, both literally and metaphorically.

And inevitably, at the same time, as a result of its amoral liberal free for all, the all-powerful Western Establishment began to collapse. Having asset-stripped other countries under the name of ‘foreign investments’, they asset-stripped at home, under the name of ‘modernisation’ and ‘privatisation’. The collapse started with the revelations about Roman Catholic pedophilia, which soon led to the exposure of Anglicans and later spread to the American Synod, on the fringes of the Russian Church. Then, in general, to the political, royal, business and media elite. In other words, to all the parasites, as per Epstein. The barbarians were not at the gates, they were running the show, as they always had.

Their unipolar monopoly was destroyed by the rising again of Crucified Russia from 2000 on, once the Russian Church had begun canonising its New Martyrs and Confessors. That is why the Western elite hates Putin. He did not agree to the destruction of Russia through its disintegration and its asset-stripping and, moreover, he does not accept sexual perversions. The destruction of Russia was Hitler’s idea, repeated by Thatcher, with the genocide of Russians, sending the remaining forty million Russians to live beyond the Volga, thus sending back ‘the Asiastics’. This is why they invested in the anti-Russian Ukraine, whose ‘rare earths’ they want, and whose people would die for them ‘to the last Ukrainian.’

Amidst this moral chaos, there are those who search for some kind of morality and found, from the internet, the Orthodox Church. However, the vast majority of those do not want to come to Orthodoxy with an open heart, they are merely running away from the chaos of the West and its Baal worship: ‘Any port in a storm’ and to their imaginary ‘Warhammer’ Russia, for example. They are by mentality zealot Protestants who adopt an outward appearance of Orthodoxy, buying icons, incense and rosaries from online ‘souvenir shops’, growing long hair and beards, or in the few cases of women, putting on long skirts and wearing what look like tablecloths on their heads. Very few of them wish to become real Orthodox Christians.

Most of those who want the uniform, but not the battle, do not come to the canonical Orthodox Church, they go to fringe convert groups which promote extremist ideologies and persecute canonical Orthodox. There they find weird convert priests and bishops. These are often closet homosexuals and dislike families, women and children, not to mention the canons. That suits them and their phariseeism, which denies the Love and Truth of the Church. And that is good for us. We can continue our witness, uncontaminated by those who do not love us and the Church, but want to come to us only because they hate others. Such we do not need. We only accept the repentant into the Church. For nothing can be built on hatred.

 

 

The Return to Civilisation?

I want ordinary Western citizens to hear me: You are told to blame Russia for your problems. That is a lie. Your hardships are the result of your own elites’ greed and their selfish interests. We are not responsible.

President V.V. Putin, 3 February 2026

Introduction: The New Attraction to an Old Church

Like other Orthodox priests, two or three years ago, after the end of covid, I began to be contacted by young people. They were nearly all males under the age of thirty and some were only teenagers. They all wished to join the Orthodox Church, which they did not know, but had heard theories about in internet podcasts. I have always told them to start coming to church (none of them had ever been before), all our teaching and theology are in our services. However, most of them never want to set foot in a real Orthodox church. It is all an internet theory. Only a few decide to come to church and wanted to stay. Those I receive into the Church.

The Return

Over the last twelve months I have received four such inquirers, though only one under the age of eighteen, with the permission of his parents, who were present at his reception. This is hardly a ‘mass baptism’. The word ‘mass’ should only be used for groups of 100 + and in any case I do not practise rebaptism, as it is against the Orthodox Creed. But it is equivalent to a ‘group reception’. Why is this happening now? Why do they want to join the Church and, hopefully, eventually actually become Orthodox? It is the first time in fifty years that numbers of local people have wanted to join the Orthodox Church. Where does this all come from?

Interest in the Orthodox Church and Faith is becoming more common in North America and Great Britain, where spiritual and so social decomposition are far advanced. A real mass reception/baptism of 200 took place in the Greek Church in England last year. This is all about a return to civilisational roots, which we have been inviting for fifty-two years, even since our first writings in 1974. However, this return to civilisational roots is worldwide, not only here. Why? It is the result of the collapse of both Globalist ideologies, of Western Communism in 1991 and of Western Capitalism in 2022, though the processes go back long before that.

The Return to Roots: China and One Century of Humiliation and India and Two Centuries of Humiliation

To say that China is Communist is today absurd. ‘Communist’ may be the name of the ruling Party, the CCP, and the national flag makes reference to that old-fashioned ideology, but it is not at all the reality. The Chinese State is today a Traditional Confucianist State, going back millennia, which runs a form of enlightened State Capitalism, overseen by ‘Emperor’ Xi, who provides efficient and very advanced national infrastructure. China is returning to National Tradition, after its ‘century of humiliation’ at the hands of the West and after a generation of Maoist Marxism, which was the revolt against the West and which ended in 1979.

To say that India (Hindustan) is the world’s largest democratic State also twists the truth. It cannot help being the world’s largest State as it is the world’s largest country and, yes, Indians do vote ‘democratically’ in their hundreds of millions for its ancient civilisational values, Hindu Nationalism. This is the return of Indians to their civilisational roots after two centuries of humiliation, exploitation and colonialism at the hands of the British and then the two generations of revolt against it and search for identity after 1947. Hindu nationalism is the return to Indian national identity, millennia of tradition – and it is also inevitable.

The Return to Roots: Russia and Three Centuries of Humiliation

To say that Russia is Capitalist or Communist is today absurd. The reality is that the Russian State has since 2022 been returning to Imperial Russia, not so much to the Russia of before 1917, but to that of before 1721, which ran on a form of contractual State Capitalism. Russia is returning to the Tradition, as Tsar Nicholas II wished, after three centuries of humiliation by the West, by two centuries of Westernisation, then by three generations of anti-Russian Western Marxism and a generation of Capitalism. Today Russia has closed the window on the West, since the West has closed its window on Russia, whose militaristic ideology is for now that of ‘the Russian World’.

The Russian Orthodox Church is attached to the Russian State. Today Russian Orthodox clergy bless tanks, missiles and guns for what they see as the Russian liberation of the Ukraine from NATO. Unlike in the Tsar’s Russia, whose last representatives we knew well, though as in Soviet Russia, where the Church was controlled by the State, today’s Russian Nationalist Church is concerned only with Russians. True, certain of its senior clergy have not been cleansed of Western-style corruption and sexual perversions. That will come. Today’s Russian Church is no longer interested in Non-Russians – unless they are in Africa, where the Russian State has plans.

The Return to the Real West

But what does civilisational return in the West mean? As we have been writing and saying for fifty-two years, the West can only return to its roots, and that means to real Christianity, which was here a long time ago. That cannot mean going to a woke woman Archbishop of Canterbury, who succeeds an archbishop who did not know if he believed in God and shielded a pedophile, nor can it mean going to a Pope, whose antecedents invented infallibility only 150 years ago. It means returning to the ancient Orthodox roots of the West, to the first millennium, beyond the manipulations of the barbarian elite which has run the West for a thousand years.

After the 2016 resisted assassination threat against me from MI5, the ‘happy vassals’ of the Establishment tried to get me by destroying me through a CIA hack. The old Establishment did not want to give up. The potential assassins know that the collapse of the Western world Titanic does not mean that Europe and North America have been humiliated and defeated. They know that it means that the anti-Christian Western elite has been humiliated and defeated. And they belong to that. The defeat of the elite is a matter for rejoicing for us, the people. It means that we might yet return from the nightmare of the old elite and see for a new elite.

The Return from Sodom and Gomorrah

With the release of a heavily redacted part of the Epstein files, it is now clear to all that that old Western political, royal, business and media elite is morally bankrupt, riddled with satanic pedophiles, Zionist perverts to the core and even worse. ‘Robert Maxwell’, real name Ludwig Hoch, murdered or suicided, was a MI6 and Mossad agent, like his compatriots, the devil Epstein, the ‘Prince of Darkness’ Mandelson (Mendelssohn) and the French Jack Lang. The dirt that Epstein collected on Western elite perverts, engaged in orgies and satanic rituals, they used for blackmail. We need a new elite. A native Royal House is awaited in England after a millennium.

There should be no surprise at the perversions of the Western elite. They have long been rumoured. The British Saxe-Coburg Gotha Royal Family alone has recently provided the pervert Prince Albert Victor, the debauched Edward VII, the Hitler-saluting Edward VIII, the pervert Prince George, Duke of Kent, the notorious Mountbatten, the tragic Margaret, Diana and Harry and now the awful Andrew. The UK alone has in the last sixty years gone from the abortion holocaust of nearly 11 million lives to supporting the two-year long Gaza holocaust of some 250,000 lives. So they offer up to satan age-old child sacrifices too horrible to describe.

Conclusion: The Future Restoration of Russia

Meanwhile, the Iranian Theocracy, supported by Russian and Chinese warships, has scared off the Great Satan and the battleships of the blustering  bully/coward are again in full retreat, proving all Mossad’s and Trump’s Zionist threats empty. And China grows daily in strength. And Russian nationalism grows. Thus, the Russian Church has betrayed and abandoned Non-Russians, who had to leave it after generations of faithfulness to Christ. But all the prophecies agree that a Russian Tsar is coming to cleanse it from such impurity and other Western-style perversions to restore the multinational, Imperial Way. No Empire can be built on narrow Nationalism.

 

 

The Great Dictator (and the little dictator). Spoilt Child Syndrome: The Pathology of Trump and Trumpians

Foreword

Many are confused by President’s Trump erratic, ever-changing behaviour. I believe I understand his confusing behaviour very well. This is not because I know a lot, but because I had the same experience with another very similar narcissistic American, a ‘Trumpian’. He too was entrusted with an absurd title, though in his case he had a tiny amount of power, but he certainly suffered from exactly the same pathology of being spoilt by a parent.

Narcissism

First of all, we see that Trump is a narcissist. This is obvious – he lives in a bubble of vanity created by his father and preens and admires himself. His narcissism comes from the fact that he is a spoilt child. Spoilt children are always delusional narcissists. Hence his self-centred infantilism and tantrums, lashing out at others when he does not get what he wants. Spoilt children who are denied anything they want throw things out of their pushchair, threatening those who deny them what they want, blackmailing and bullying parents and others with ever more violent and noisy tantrums. Hence Trump’s threats of sanctions and tariffs, which are precisely the actions of a spoilt child. He finds issuing sanctions and tariffs ‘liberating’. For a spoilt child, revenge is indeed liberating.

The Weak Parent

If the parent is weak, then he will receive absolutely no respect and be subject to spectacular rudeness, tyranny and slander from the spoilt child. The spoilt brat demands total loyalty and total personal obedience because of his sense of entitlement and enablement. After all, he is the centre of the universe and must always be at the centre of attention, including at the centre of media attention. In other words, they demand exclusivity: ‘I am not like others, I am special and superior’. In the Trump case, this is clear, in the case of the other also, as he controlled ‘an exclusive church’. Jealousy rules these self-centred individuals and they feel obliged to try and destroy any possible rivals.

The Strong Parent

However, if the parent is strong and stands up to the emotional blackmail of the spoilt brat, the latter’s threats will turn into empty bluffs, his egomaniac bubble will burst. For the power of narcissists is only the power given to them by those who fawn on them and call them ‘Daddy’ or ‘Master’. Without the submissive fawning of the weak, they have nothing. Spoilt brats are extremely surprised and hurt when others refuse to fawn on them, to flatter their delusions, incompetence and ignorance, and turn away from them as a matter of conscience and integrity. ‘Conscience and integrity’ are words which spoilt brats do not understand. The spoilt brats’ surprise comes from the fact that they think that they are the centre of interest and that therefore there is no alternative to them.

Alternatives to the Spoilt Child Syndrome

Turning away from the spoilt brat is what Prime Minister Carney of Canada has done and now the Europeans too, as they kow-tow to China, a country which only a few weeks ago they were spitting at. There are alternatives. In our case, ‘the Pope’ (which is what his nickname in Europe is, since he proclaims his infallibility) did not think that there are other Orthodox Churches, far greater and far more powerful than his minute cultish sect of 19 little groups which he rules. Normal people walk away from spoilt brat bullying. Only the weak and sycophantic, like those whom Trump and the other one have surrounded themselves with, remain.

Backing Down

When Trump, or the other one, see people standing up to them, they first react badly and escalate against those who have resisted them, accusing them of ‘betrayal’ or ‘conspiring against them personally’. How can anyone resist them? They are always right and so refuse to accept that they have been mistaken. For that reason they can never take responsibility for their crass errors. There are no conspiracies against the Trumpians, just masses of people who have seen through their nonsense at the same time. Indeed, if you refuse to be bullied, blackmailed, intimidated and ignore their personal threats, they will back down, suddenly forgetting the claims they made and what they did yesterday.

Violence and Selective Amnesia

Their ‘amnesia’ includes forgetting their threats of physical violence towards other far more senior to them who have protected those they persecuted. And their behaviour then easily becomes thuggish, gangsterish, like that of mafiosi. This amnesia is not dementia, it is pathological denial – ‘it never happened’, ‘I never said that’, ‘you misunderstood me’. In their denial, they invent false narratives to justify their lies and refusal to take responsibility for them. Thus, Trump invents phone-calls with world leaders and invents peace ‘agreements’ or simply conversations which never took place. Only the foolish believe their lies. Sadly, there are foolish people who believe both the Great Dictator and the little one.

History Remembers

Whatever their denials of their lies and slanders, the rest of the world remembers them only too well. History does not forget. These narcissistic spoilt children always bully and betray and then are surprised when nobody trusts them any more. All they do is hasten the development of rivals, which soon become much more powerful than they are. This is how recent US Presidents have created a profound alliance between Russia, China and Iran, speeded up BRICS and the alternative to the dollar. In the Church context, his self-destructive persecutions of the faithful accelerate the development of other Churches, thus destroying his own tiny church.

Afterword

The consequences of spoilt child syndrome are always self-destructive. Thus, Trump is literally destroying the USA, both its industry, and in the ignoring of the Congress and Senate, and in the use of his murderous Gestapo ICE police. He does not want to ‘make America great again’ (the word ‘again’ is an admission that America is no longer great), he wants to make Trump great again. Similarly, in the other case, he is destroying church life and discrediting in ignominy his little group, which through his incompetence he is reducing to a weird sect. Elsewhere it is very troubled by homosexuality and pedophilia.

 

 

What Happens to Church Life When People Renounce the Living God?

Mercilessly exiling any bishop who displeased him and spreading Arianism, the Emperor Valens began persecuting in Cappadocia. His prefect Modestus went to St Basil and threatened to confiscate his property, to banish or beat him and even to kill him. St Basil staunchly rejected his blandishments to betray the Faith and his threats to punish him as a criminal, answering, ‘Death would be a kindness to me, for it will bring me all the sooner to God, for Whom I live and labour and to Whom I hasten’. The official was stunned by his answer. ‘No one has ever spoken with such boldness to me’, he said. The saint replied: ‘Perhaps that is because you have never spoken to a bishop before’.

Introduction: The Definition of the Church

The Church is the Risen Body of Christ, radiated by the Holy Spirit, that is, it is Divino-human. However, if a part of the Church is taken over by men, it loses its Divinity. Thus, it becomes a mere human organisation, a corporation, commercial, political or ethnic, or a sect and cult. And as it is no longer the Risen Body of Christ, it is at once subject to corruption, like a human body rotting and decaying in the grave. This means that its four theological defining signs are renounced. Those signs are, as we confess in the Creed, One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. They mean:

The Church is One in Faith, whatever the outward administrative divisions. Whenever any group of human-beings changes the Creed or substitutes human values for Oneness of Faith, they fall away from the Unity of the Church.

The Church is Holy, in other words, the Church alone produces saints. When part of the Church persecutes saints or stops producing them, it is no longer the Church, it has fallen away from the Church and is spiritually impaired.

The Church is Catholic. This much misunderstood word means that, whatever ritual, outward or administrative variations, the Church always confesses the same inward Faith in all places and at all times.

The Church is Apostolic. This means that the history of the Church goes back directly to the apostles who, obeying the Holy Spirit at the Council of Jerusalem in 33 AD, began to organise the Church on earth.

From Church to Corporation, Ideology, Sect and Cult 

It is very sad to see part of the Church, however small, abandon these four qualities and thus become a sect and cult. This is especially so when you have dedicated decades to fighting against sectarianism and helping to implant the signs of the Church firmly (as we had thought) into the part that had been threatened by evil.

We can see that a part of the Church has renounced this Churchliness, when it ceases to be One and divides into many sects, each differing in the confession of the Faith and warring in hatred against one another. There is only one solution in this situation and that is flee to the uncontaminated Church which is in communion with all. Communion with all Orthodox is the guarantee of Unity.

We can see that a part has renounced Churchliness, when it ceases to be Holy, that is, when it ceases to produce saints and persecutes those who pursue Holiness. For example, there is a former part of the Church that finally produced its only saint 60 years ago, first having suspended him and put him on trial. We speak of St John of Shanghai and Western Europe (+ 1966).

We can see that a part has renounced Churchliness, when it ceases to be Catholic, part of the Catholic whole, and cuts off communion with other members of the Church. This is because its members declare like the pharisees their exclusiveness and superiority, that only they obey the canons and possess the truth.

We can see that a part has renounced Churchliness, when it ceases to be Apostolic, abandoning the practices of the apostles and inventing novel teachings, which are against the Creed, for example, rebaptising deluded Orthodox.

Church Life Degenerates as Sectarianism Takes Over

Once Love, which is the only message of Christ, the Head of the Church, is replaced by some secular ideology, for example, a commercial, political or ethnic ideology, Church life degenerates into purely secular modes of life. Thus, only careerists are left among the clergy and they bear no spiritual fruit, as they are opportunists. They are ‘flexible’ and will swim with the tide in return for tinsel awards. These careerists are used to ‘do the dirty work’, such as covering up the scandals, which occur at the decline and fall of all human organisations. The careerists are totally obedient to the heads of the totalitarian sect, for the heads insist on total and slavish obedience to themselves, as they have no spiritual or moral authority. And when they justify what they did wrong, ‘I was only following orders’, say the careerists. But that is too late.

At this point Church life is taken over by love of money. Those who have money, whether laypeople or clergy, take control and impose their perversions. All who do not ‘pay up’ are abused, bullied, intimidated, humiliated and slandered by the clerical extortioner. Money must belong to him and his total control.

Next come attempts at property grabs. All those who have built or restored Church properties, sacrificing themselves and their own money and time selflessly and resisting what is in fact attempted theft, are abused, bullied, intimidated, humiliated and slandered by the clerical extortioner. Property must belong to him and his total control.

Finally come the sexual perversions, homosexuality and pedophilia. These cases are duly covered up by the amoral careerists. See:

https://pokrovtruth.substack.com/p/explosive-new-audio-further-implicates

At this point, Love is replaced by their hatred, which becomes pathological because it is the end. The former part of the Church is controlled by the pathologically sick and has become a sect and cult.

Conclusion

It may sound obvious or naïve, but it is always best to make sure that candidates for the priesthood and the episcopate are both psychologically normal and are actually Christians, before ordaining and consecrating them. Not Christians in words (that can be forged), but in deeds. ‘By their fruits ye shall know them’.

 

 

 

After Globalist Davos: Will All Globalist Organisations Now Also Collapse?

‘It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal’.

Henry Kissinger

The current President of the USA may yet be removed from office either for insanity or else as a result of his poor physical health. We have only ever seen such narcissistic egomania and amoralism once before and that was in the case of a psychically deranged American bishop. In the meantime, however, Trump goes from his failed US proxy war against Russia in the Ukraine, which now faces military, economic and political collapse, to genocide in Gaza, to Caribbean piracy and murdering fishermen, to kidnapping the President of Venezuela, to a failed regime coup operation in Iran, to threatening Canada and Western Europe with tariffs because he wants to invade Greenland, to a disastrously failed ‘Board of Peace’ attempt to dissolve the United Nations, and to murdering his own citizens through his masked Gestapo Police.

At Davos the Prime Minster of Canada admitted that ‘the rules-based international order’ had indeed only even been a myth, a ‘narrative’, which justified the Western world’s grabbing of whatever it wanted from the rest of the world and sharing in the spoils. From Iraq to Venezuela, it had always been obvious. Nothing new here, except that a Globalist banker publicly admitted it. Also the President of the Ukraine, sent by Ukrainian oligarchs to garner even more lucre from stupid Europeans, had yet another spoilt child tantrum of entitlement. As usual, he vilified Europe for not giving him everything he wanted and received a standing ovation from the crawling Europeans. Nothing new here either, except that what was true all along has become undeniable.

Davos meetings always assembled Globalist oligarchs and promoted their ideology. However, the ‘battle’ for Greenland in January 2026 destroyed their ideology. The Europeans had thought that President Trump was bluffing about Greenland, for the idea of war between the USA and Europe was unthinkable to them. Instead, the American President deployed his favourite tool and threatened to levy import tariffs on Europe, with threats to raise them, in order to pressure the Danish government to give Greenland up. That was enough. The cowardly European NATO appeasers, who despise international law, compromised and forced little Denmark to give Greenland to the USA, piece by piece. It will be called ‘The Greenland Purchase’.

In retaliation, the Europeans are scurrying to Beijing, as the Canadians have already done. Will some of them sheepishly began crawling to Moscow, pleading for the gas and oil from which they had cut themselves off, and will some even apologise for supporting the Ukraine, hypocritically blaming the Americans? At the Russian request, Europeans and Canadians may yet leave NATO, giving an excuse to Americans, who will be all too happy to leave their NATO bases in Europe, Ramstein, Lakenheath, Aviano etc. Globalist NATO may duly be dispatched into the dustbin of history. The Europeans may gleefully begin to prosecute American tech giants like Google, Meta, Tesla and X and the Chinese would be happy to provide Baidu, BYD, Huawei and others instead.

By spring 2026 the Globalist regime in Kiev may collapse. New representatives in Kiev could sign a peace treaty acknowledging the long-awaited return to Russia of Novorossiya, that is, of Crimea, Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhia, Kherson, Nikolaev, Odessa, Dnepro, Kharkov, and guaranteeing human rights to Russian speakers elsewhere. As we predicted in 2022, two and a half far western provinces may be returned to Poland (Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and western Ternopil), one to Romania (North Bukovina) and one divided between Slovakia and Hungary (Zakarpat’e). The New Ukraine, demilitarised and renamed Kievska Rus, could consist of Kiev and eleven and a half provinces of the Soviet Ukraine. The evils done by Lenin and Stalin would at last be undone.

After the collapse of the Globalist NATO, its Globalist economic and political wing, the EU, may also begin to collapse. Former EU members, starting in central and south-eastern Europe, could leave the EU and join BRICS. followed by south-western Europe, Italy, Spain, Portugal. The EU would be left in tatters and dissolve itself. Meanwhile, Europeans may cancel orders with US defence contractors and begin placing orders with local producers like Rheinmetall, BAE Systems and SAAB. However, even small orders would take years to be designed and delivered and costs would overrun. Nobody would admit it, but everyone would wish that they could get back everything they had earlier given away to the Ukraine, where it was immediately destroyed by Russian arms.

Meanwhile, following Ukrainian-style corruption scandals at last made public, the peoples of the three Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, may yet topple their old American elites and replace them with democrats. These would restore to their Russian minorities their human rights and restore Russian and Soviet historical monuments, hoping for desperately needed Russian investments in their deindustrialised and depopulated statelets. After referenda, the vast majority of Moldovans may return to Romania, though small parts in the east and south would join Russia and small numbers in the north join Kievska Rus. As for Finland and Sweden, like Switzerland, they too could overthrow their American elites and return to neutrality.

Prudently biding its time, China would be the last to act. In late 2026 it could blockade Taiwan, which would capitulate within weeks. Most Taiwanese would rejoice at long-awaited national reunion with the Motherland and the coming economic boom and investments in infrastructure. As the world enters 2027, the new geopolitical landscape would be unrecognisable. America’s occupation of islands and peninsulas in East Asia and in Oceania, as throughout Eurasia and Africa, would be over. The Philippines, South Korea, Japan and Australia would stop being American vassals – the failure of the bankrupt ($40 trillion) United States to defend Taiwan would sober them and they could all made friends with China, signing trade deals and demilitarising.

Viewed from outside, America’s One Hemisphere policy (in fact, One North-West quarter-sphere) would be a failure for the isolationist US elite. True, they might have their united Northern America, but not a united North America, since Mexico, let alone the rest of Latin America, would have nothing to do with ‘Gringo’ ‘Trumpland’, and would resist its imperialism. Turned inwards, the US elite would not see its failure. After all, in the North, Greenland could be absorbed as the 51st American State and then Canada might begin to crumble into US hands province by province. And so after four years in power, Trump could transform the world, though in reality he would only have acted as a catalyst in hastening the inevitable decomposition of the Western world.

 

 

 

Russian Orthodox Church Disunity

The Orthodox Church is the bimillennial Confederation of Local Christian Churches, each largely covering one nationality, one language, one culture and one territory, Russian, Romanian, Greek, Serbian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Arab, Albanian etc. Today there are sixteen Local Orthodox Churches in all and some have flocks in Western countries as a result of emigration, which has taken place either for economic or for political reasons. Over fifty years ago, in the 1970s in England, I was able to join the Orthodox Church through the émigré Russian Church, an emigration which had taken place after 1917 for political reasons.

Cut off from Russia and cut off from new emigres by Soviet atheism, the dying Church in the Russian emigration was really the only Local Orthodox Church which accepted or needed to accept Non-Russians. (Other Local Churches would generally not even accept those of another nationality. Since then, barriers to other nationalities have to some extent been broken, but that is another story). However, as a result of the political nature of its emigration, the émigré Russian Church was split into three warring parts, none of which was in communion. They were split by political beliefs, which is the only reason why Churches split.

The largest and most international émigré fraction was called the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR), composed of anti-Communist emigres and centred in the USA. Then came a smaller part which we may call the Paris Emigration (PE), centred in France and composed of emigres who favoured a Western liberal political system for Russia. Finally, there came by far the smallest part, called the Moscow Patriarchate (MP), composed of emigres who, though members of the Church, out of patriotism turned a blind eye to Soviet atheism. What is the position now, 35 years after Soviet atheism?

The ideology of Soviet atheism was replaced by another ideology, Russian nationalism. Nevertheless, as a result of the fall of Soviet atheism, both ROCOR and PE came into communion with the MP and, briefly, with each other. This was based on sympathy for Russia, but not on full sympathy, as the Westernised descendants of both émigré groups today represent not Russian nationalism, but, respectively, US nationalism and Western liberalism. And for this ironic reason the very aggressive and ideological ROCOR group is no longer in communion with the PE. Thus, division continues, again because of politics.

Thus, even if ideologies have switched from what they were when the Soviet Union existed, they are still here. Having worked for fifty years to bring the three warring émigré groups together, the present lack of communion is tragic for me. Sadly, the younger generation of ROCOR is so Americanised, one might say, narcissistically and imperialistically Trumpian, that it does not accept any views other than its own. Such sectarian exclusivity betrays a vision of the Church which is opposed to the Church as Christian communion and sees it as an exclusive and intolerant sect which condemns and punishes all who disagree.

As regards the fall of the MP into nationalism, this was a logical development from the old Soviet nationalism of the period before the fall of the USSR, but in a new form. Soviet nationalism was paradoxical for Orthodox, as how could Christians be loyal to Soviet atheism? However, this Russian nationalism is also paradoxical. It makes of the Church an Army, a spirit of militarism, ritualism and clericalism, according to which everything is literally uniform, in which there is no place for personal spiritual inspiration and diversity. All isms quench the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth and Love, and nationalism is no different.

Thus, all three parts of the Russian Church illustrate divisiveness and exclusivity through the adoption of different political ideologies, tragically putting Caesar above Christ. Until all three parts of the Russian Church revert to full Orthodoxy, abandoning political or nationalist ideologies of any sort, there will be no general Orthodox unity. The sign of the reversion of the Russian Church to Orthodoxy will be in its recovery of Catholicity, that is, in its renewed and visible communion with the peoples of all other Local Churches. Once we see that, we shall see a renewed and valuable Russian contribution to Pan-Orthodox unity.

 

 

 

The New World Order and Orthodox Christianity

Eurasia

In 2026 we have finally entered the real New World Order. Afro-Eurasia, including the Ukraine and Western Europe, is now being freed of the last remnants of the European and American colonial empires. Asia, by far the greatest and most populous Continent (over 60% of the world’s people) is being separated into North Asia (also called Eurasia, and eventually to include its Western European tip), led by Russia; East Asia, led by China; South Asia, led by India; and West Asia, which will be led by the Islamic world, once it has been freed from US-Israeli divide and rule policies and begins to work together.

After the US defeats in Eurasia, in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and a few days ago, in Iran, where it was frightened off by its advanced missiles, the Americans are scurrying back to the Western hemisphere and a first adventure in Venezuela, kidnapping the President and his wife. With the US leaving Eurasia, France too is being thrown out of its last footholds in Africa by Russia. It is clear that Africa and Eurasia are being freed, despite hesitations in the South Korean peninsula, on the island of Taiwan, in parts of Thailand, in the settler colony of Israel and in the north-western tip of the peninsula known as ‘Europe’.

Europe and the Rest of the World

Some ask why it is the tiny Baltic States in ‘Europe’ which are so opposed to being part of Russian-led North Asia. It is because its US-imposed elites are the last converts to the obsolete Western Establishment ideology that ‘the West is Best’. The UK left the EU – the Baltics are fanatics for it. For as recent converts, these Eastern European neophytes are more Western than the West, ‘more royalist than the King’, as the French say. They are the last believers in Western superiority, together with the tiny number of its ideologues of the Western European elite. Western people have never believed in their elitist nonsense.

As for Africa, it is separating into Northern and Islamic Africa and Southern and Christian Africa. Then there is Oceania with its very large territory but tiny population, dominated by Australia, whose economy is now largely dependent on China and East Asia. It too has already moved away from the UK and the USA. Finally, there are the Americas, or ‘the Western Hemisphere’, dominated by the USA, which is separated into Northern and largely English-speaking America, and Southern or Latin, largely Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking America. The latter has yearned for generations to liberate itself from Yankee oppression.

Greenland

However, Latin America is now breaking free from US domination. For the USA is too busy absorbing Greenland and may be too busy trying to absorb Canada. After all, Greenland is the Western shield of the USA and once it has been absorbed, Canada will be surrounded. Tiny colonialist Denmark and weakling Europe, whose self-styled Napoleonic leader, Macron, sports dark glasses to cover his black eye, given him by his husband, will not defend the colonial anachronism of Greenland. In 1974 NATO Turkey invaded Cyprus and NATO Greece and the rest of NATO did absolutely nothing. Why would they act now?

Trump’s interest is to end European colonies in North America through taking Greenland. His excuse? The waters around Greenland are infested by Russian and Chinese ships – invisible to everyone else. If Europe expels the USA from its bases in Europe, Trump will be only too pleased to end NATO – and also to distract from Epstein. The European Globalist banker leaders will simply appease Trump, as they did Hitler in the 1930s. Yes, Trump is prepared to go to war to obtain the Nobel Peace Prize. In this distraction, Kiev oligarchs argue and Russia cuts off power in the Ukraine, copying the tactics of the USA in Serbia.

Although Greenland is much smaller than shown on absurd world maps, it is still twice the size of California, currently the largest state of the USA. However, unlike ‘the sunshine state’, with a population some 750 times greater than Greenland’s, Greenland is covered in very thick ice. Possibly, if you knew where to drill down through hundreds of metres of ice, some useful minerals could be found. But that would make them very expensive minerals. The Greenland block of ice is rapidly turning into the block of ice that sank the Titanic, only this time this Titanic is the sinking ship of relations between the USA and Western Europe.

Europe’s Weakness

Trump wants to seize Greenland in a land grab vanity project. It is inhabited by 55,000 people who live in peace and do not want to be invaded, but that is OK with Europe. However, when Russia invaded the Ukraine, inhabited by huge numbers of ethnic Russian Ukrainians, who asked to be invaded, or rather, ‘liberated’ by Russia, since they were being genocided by an illegal, anti-democratic, Fascistic, US-installed regime in Kiev, that was not OK. Hypocritical double standards have morally discredited the Western world so much that the phrase ‘Western values’ has now become a subject for worldwide laughter.

Trump saw European weakness, when they called him ‘Daddy’. So he decided to take European territory in a repeat of US Independence from Europe in 1776, 250 years ago. The Europeans have brought this on themselves. The Germans allowed the Americans and their proxies (Russian-hating Danes among them) to blow up the Nordstream pipeline, so they would become dependent on overpriced US liquified gas. Russia never cut Europeans off from Russian gas. The Americans did. Now the Europeans have no Russian gas and, if they defy the Americans in Greenland, they will also lose American gas. Karma for Denmark.

Orthodox Christianity

We have for now entered a Tripolar World of China, Russia and the USA. The last of these is, nominally, Orthodox Christian. All the prophecies agree that its present leader will be succeeded by a Tsar. After various Orthodox peoples, like the Ukrainians, the Belarussians, the Baltics etc have at last received their inevitable Church independence (Autocephaly), this Tsar will still directly represent over 50% of all Orthodox. Then at last authentic Orthodox missionary work can begin. At present, this is not possible, as the Russian Church, once captive to Soviet atheism, is now captive to extreme Russian nationalism.

Russian nationalism openly and publicly rejects, sometimes very aggressively, all Non-Russian Orthodox. They complain how for decades they have been treated like third-class citizens by Russians. In fact, the Russian Church is now in schism with other parts of the Orthodox Christian world. However, it has also alienated many other Orthodox, in the Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Baltics and throughout the Orthodox world. It will need a Tsar to reverse the disastrous clericalism, ritualism, militarism and nationalism that so disfigure today’s Russian Church, which is lost in the labyrinth of these post-Soviet deviations.

 

 

The Yugoslavisation of Europe

The Greatest Comedy Show on Earth

In Moscow and Beijing they are sitting back, relaxing in the world cinema, ready to laugh. The comedy film tonight is called ‘Trump versus the Europeans’.

The Bully and the Weaklings

President Trump is a typical spoiled child and coward, who knows only how to bully and bluster in tantrums and, in his case, how to use tariffs and sanctions, that is, to use extortion rackets to get what he wants immediately. This is made worse because he is so spoiled that he has become a psychopathic malignant narcissist. As soon as he faces real opposition from those with backbone, who can see through him, he, like all cowards, backs down and runs away. This is what he has done in the Ukraine, Venezuela and, for now, in Iran, where he was frightened off by the warning phone calls of President Putin to all concerned.

Goodbye, Canada

Will Europe face up to him in Greenland? Of course not, though no doubt Trump is trembling, as he learns that Norway has sent twice as many soldiers as the UK to Greenland. Yes, Norway has sent two soldiers. In all, Europe sent, it seems, 34 European soldiers. But the 15 German soldiers from the mighty Wehrmacht left in full retreat after 44 hours; apparently, Greenland was too cold for them. When the US sends a few thousand troops, the remaining few will also run away. Laughing-stock Globalist Europe has plunged itself into global irrelevance. Trumps’ next easy targets may be Iceland, but before that, Canada.

Goodbye, NATO

NATO is over. The US has no partners in Europe, only vassals and serfs, such as the three Ms, Macron, Meloni and Merz. And those three are now all saying that Europe must talk to President Putin. They have been joined by the ex-head of NATO, Stoltenberg, now replaced by his double, the homosexual Rutte, who only a few months ago was chanting the exact opposite. Blinded by their arrogant ideology, their change of mind comes four years too late. Two million Ukrainians are dead or maimed. That should be on the conscience of all the Western warmongers who wanted to fight ‘to the last Ukrainian’.

Goodbye, EU and UK

The Western warmongers have almost achieved their aim. However, American imperialism is ending the globalist, supranational European bureaucracies: the absurdly unnecessary EU and NATO protection rackets. It is the return to sovereign nations, nation-states, and the ironic end of the last European home-empires, outclassed by the American. It is the end of the Russophobic Danish Empire in Greenland, the Russophobic British in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England (perhaps they should have been Americanophobic?), and of the Spanish Empire in Catalonia. Freedom and sovereignty for the peoples.

Goodbye, Greenland

As for Greenland, it should join Inuit Nunavut. It covers a similar huge area (2 million square kilometres), has a similar tiny population (40,000 +) and they are almost joined together. That is very unlikely. Occupied for centuries by the Danish colonial Empire, which was practising eugenics, the sterilisation of Inuit girls, right into the 1960s, now the Inuits will be occupied by the American colonial Empire. What the US has been doing in Latin America and Asia for 200 years, it is now doing to the last European colonies. The European hypocrites dared not criticise the US when it was regime toppling in Latin America and Asia.

Goodbye, Europe

Then it began in Europe, notably in the corrupt Ukraine. Europeans had no problem with that, after all they are only Slavs, not good Aryans like us. Now in Greenland they are having a taste of their own medicine: they do not like it. Some Americans will say: ‘Serves the European hypocrites right’. The world has seen off all their empires, the Venetian, the Portuguese, the Spanish, the Dutch, the French, the British, the Italian, the German and the Soviet (that was founded on European Marxist ideology). They all came crashing down. What America does not know is that the end of its Empire is coming too, and very soon.

Man Up

As we well know from personal experience, there is only one way of dealing with malignant, psychopathic, narcissistic bullies from the USA: You stand up to them.

 

 

 

 

Keeping the Faith: Pastoral Considerations and Church Unity in the Diaspora

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Psalm 133, 1

Exactly 50 years ago I stood in the then newly-built Serbian church in Birmingham and listened to a sermon given by the late Fr Vladimir (later Bp Basil) Rodzianko. He spoke of the ‘sin of jurisdictions’ and looked forward idealistically to a time when there would no longer be any jurisdictions. I knew then that that was unrealistic. Indeed, 50 years have passed and there are now more ‘jurisdictions’ than ever. After over fifty years of life in the Orthodox Diaspora in Western Europe, divided into several separate Church jurisdictions, I have come to certain conclusions.

These conclusions were fed firstly by observing how the post-1917 Russian Diaspora died out in Western Europe (as a clergyman in Paris in the 1980s and 1990s I buried many of its last very elderly representatives, who had been adults before 1917). Then, secondly, I have seen how the 1950s Greek Cypriot Diaspora has also nearly completely died out in Britain. They both died out because they failed almost wholly to pass on the Faith to their locally born generations.

In 1973, I met the future Metr Kallistos (Ware), who tried and failed to unite local Russian, Greek and Serbian Orthodox into one shared church in Oxford. In 1980 I met the late Fr Alexander Schmemann, who invited me to become a priest in the USA. I politely refused his offer, as I felt my place was in Europe. I witnessed how in North America his attempt to found a new Local Church, called the OCA (the Orthodox Church in America), failed to unite Orthodox there – it unites only some 10-15% of Orthodox. Both were valiant attempts by sincere and often admirable people to do good, but both failed.

Others also tried to do something in this respect, like those who argued with each other, Fr (now St) Sophrony (Sakharov) and Metr Antony (Bloom), who tonsured me reader in 1981. The outstanding figure with Fr Sophrony was undoubtedly Fr Raphael (Noica), who gave me very good advice between 1975 and 1983. Another influence was Protopresbyter Alexei Kniazev, the rector of the St Sergius Institute of Orthodox Theology, where I studied.

However, the most outstanding figure I met was Archbishop Antony (Bartoshevich) of Geneva, who ordained me priest in 1991, after I had served for seven years as a deacon. He led the multinational Archdiocese of Western Europe, veering neither towards liberal modernism, nor to sectarian old calendarism. He was the successor of St John Maximovich as Archbishop of Western Europe. Clergy of seventeen different nationalities concelebrated at his funeral.

One of the problems with the experiments in Oxford and the USA was the lack of respect for the people in the parishes. Firstly, any Diaspora parish must use at least two languages, that of the main national group (or national groups, if there is more than one) and the local language. The latter is necessary for the children and grandchildren of immigrants in the Church, for the locally-born spouses of the inevitable mixed marriages, as well as for those received into the parish from local people who wish to join the Orthodox Church.

We do not wish the children of immigrants to lose the language of their parents, but they go to school in English, they think in English, they speak their parents’ language with an English accent. If they can understand the Church in English, then they will not reject the Church in the language of their parents. This is a psychological fact and, as any pastor will tell you, more than 50% of what we do is understanding our parishioners’ psychology.

Respect must also be shown for the calendars used by the parishioners, and for their cultures and customs. In order to do this, there may need to be at least two priests of different nationalities in each parish and choirs must be organised. We have seen too many cases of just the opposite, of disrespect and even mockery for different languages, calendars, cultures and customs. That is unacceptable because it is unChristian. Expressions of hatred for others are unChristian and eventually will lead to the downfall of parishes and even of whole dioceses. We are eyewitnesses of this. You cannot build a Church on negativity or hatred.

Here is a brief outline as to how we could perhaps proceed to keep locally-born generations inside the Church and also to help unite the Diaspora Church, which is divided administratively. The secret is in not being exclusive. Thus:

  1. No National Flags

A Church with flags is a Church which divides. Christ has no flag. Our only ‘flag’ is the Cross. Flags belong to the secular world, not to Christ. The absence of a flag, Russian, Greek, Romanian, Serbian or other, does not of course mean that it can be replaced by a local flag, by some sort of local nationalism, British, American, French or other. That is just as negative. If we want to have flags with their nationalism, let us keep them at home and not bring them to church.

  1. No Political Ideologies or ‘Isms’

Ideologies, or ‘isms’, are always divisive because they are narrow and sectarian. For instance, I have witnessed how the OCA tried to impose the new calendar on Slav origin parishes in the USA and condescendingly impose non-traditional, liberal and even modernist liturgical practices on them. This was very divisive and as a result many parishes left the OCA and many more did not want to join it. They felt they had been excluded.

On the other hand, I have also witnessed how certain clergy in one Russian emigration splinter tried to impose an extreme right-wing ideology, allied with old calendarism. They promoted themselves rather pharisaically as an exclusive ‘One True Church’, refusing concelebration and communion with the Local Churches, as ‘they are in error’ and ‘we do not like them’.

This sectarianism was very divisive and it only attracts converts from Catholicism and Protestantism with pathological problems, while turning away from the Church those with healthy psychologies. Such an aggressive splinter can never be part of a future Local Church and does not want to be. That is why we belong to the Romanian Orthodox Church, away from all extremes and schisms.

  1. No Money

What makes Orthodox of all nationalities reject their own Church more than anything else is the story that the clergy are only interested in money. Fixed tariffs for baptisms, weddings, funerals, memorials etc are fatal in this respect. The stories of laypeople about such matters, true or untrue, are legion. Either priests must have a secular profession and parishioners pay only for the often high costs of the church-building, or else an arrangement must be made with parishioners that they make known their salaries and they give a percentage of their salaries to the priest. In this way the priest’s salary will be the average of their salaries. For example, if there are 100 salaried parishioners, they could each give 1% of their salary to the priest. If there are 200 salaried parishioners, they could each give 0.5% of their salary to the priest etc.

The Church as a Family

Without national flags, political ideologies or money scandals, if we wish to keep everyone together inside the Church, then we must experience the Church as a warm and loving Family, to which all Orthodox can belong.

Orthodox who have been uprooted from their homelands, usually for economic or else, as in the Communist past, for ideological reasons, want to belong to something. Perfectly naturally, they have a problem of identity. ‘Who am I’?, they ask. However, those born locally, of such Russian, Greek, Romanian, Serbian or other immigrant parents, and who all speak the local language better than that of their parents, also want to belong to something, they also have a problem of identity. I tell all my people that, although we have a State passport with a flag on it, our spiritual passport has no flag, or political party, and under the Nationality section, it says: ‘Orthodox Christian’. This is our spiritual nationality and identity, we belong to the Orthodox Christian Family. Our unity is in our common Orthodox Christian Faith and Love.

 

A Time of Folly in State and Church

Folly in the State

Western Liberalism is in fact Fascism. They proclaim to all who refuse their dominion and asset-stripping: ‘We will bomb you into liberalism’. This is what they call ‘humanitarian bombing’.

The Coalition of the Killing declares: ‘Let us create our own reality’. Here is the justification for their lies, propaganda, spin, narrative, fairy tales, virtual reality, that is, for their delusions, in which they, and a few brainwashed old people, actually believe.

Meanwhile, the dictatorship in the US is ending. Like all ending empires, it is ending in decadence, ‘conquering’ Venezuela, Iran and Greenland. Fraud, aiding genocide, kidnapping, theft, piracy, attempted murder – the charges are mounting. Like all narcissists, including Church narcissists, he is first sexually perverted, then deluded, then spectacularly rude, then sadistic, allowing his Gestapo stormtroopers to murder openly on American streets, and finally he goes mad, like Caligula of old.

Folly in the Church

Everything here is recounted objectively by a very moderate journalist who is not Orthodox and has no axe to grind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPgwY1eyT8s

Let us compare today’s Church Folly, as related above, with the events of 1963.

In 1963 Archbishop (now St) John of Shanghai was suspended from his office by the American Synod (Sanhedrin?) of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) and removed from the See of San Francisco. As St John related, several bishops of the Synod almost came to physical blows about him in a ‘punch-up’, accusing him of being a Communist (!). Others accused him of being ‘preoccupied only with spiritual matters’, as though this were a major fault meriting ‘defrocking’! (Nothing has changed here). Of course, it was a major fault, as the accusers and slanderers were only preoccupied with secular matters, grasping money and power. (Nothing has changed here).

On 6 June 1963 the future saint received a summons to court and on 9 July he sat as a defendant on the court bench, supported by only three other bishops from the whole New York Synod of the Russian émigré Church. This unmercenary Archbishop, who had always lived in poverty was accused of embezzling money! Russian parishioners even spat in the face of this fragile old man, shouting hysterically against him, as one of the eyewitnesses, Hieromonk Seraphim recalled.

However, the judge, Edward O’Dey, an Irish Catholic, showed only respect for St John during the four-day trial. And like the four-day dead Lazarus of old, St John was naturally found innocent. However, in the 1990s the bishops who had accused him were still denouncing him with venom.  I know, because they denounced him to me.

St John kept and renewed the living Church Tradition in the Diaspora, not introducing anything from outside the Tradition and rejecting decadent political divisions of any sort. He created churches from nothing, helped the poor and sick, and was a beacon of unity for people of all nationalities. He united not by politics, but by his example of a holy life, living in prayer and fasting, keeping liturgical and spiritual traditions. He had spiritual authority because he kept strictly to Orthodoxy, rejecting fanaticism and extremism. He showed that bishops can make a spiritual and not administrative contribution to Church life.

For eight days now, beginning on the Vigil for Old Christmas on 6 January, the feet of St John of Shanghai, depicted in the icon giving our church to St Alban the Protomartyr of Britain, as he had promised in November 1962, have been giving off a scent of roses. Today the feet of St Alban are also giving off the scent of roses.
