Q and A: On the Suicidal Path Taken by ROCOR since 2007

Nobody goes to heaven by sending others to hell.

Q: Looking back twenty years after the 2006 Church Council on the relics of St John of Shanghai, what do you think that the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) should have done after its reconciliation with the Moscow Patriarchate in 2007?

A: ROCOR played a very important role in the last half of the last century. Do not forget that from 1950 until 1966, it had a saint in its midst, Archbishop John of Shanghai and Western Europe. Then it witnessed to the Western world of the persecution of the Church by the Soviet atheist State, the inherent worldliness of KGB-manipulated ecumenism and modernism, it spoke in spiritual freedom in the place of its brothers and sisters in the Patriarchal Church, who were enslaved as hostages inside Russia. Having sent representatives to the Second Vatican Council, ROCOR’S greatest moment came in 1981, when, although sixty-four years late, it began the work of canonising the New Martyrs and Confessors. This work is not complete, as archives open, as we see from the July 2026 Synod in Moscow, where new names of New Martyrs and Confessors have entered the Church calendar.

Indeed, from the Year 2000 on, ROCOR no longer served a purpose, since the Church inside Russia had been freed from the State, as proved by the fact that it too had at last begun to canonise even more New Martyrs and Confessors. Since the generation of those who had been adults before the Revolution of 1917 had all but died out by 2000, ROCOR’s destiny was to become four autonomous Metropolias, part of the Mother Church, taking over its Diaspora, as its title of ‘Russian’ was already becoming mythical. If it had joined in with Moscow, it could have spearheaded Russian Orthodox missionary work and witness in the Diaspora, co-operating with others, separating out into four regional Diaspora Metropolias. It would not have become the Moscow Patriarchate, but simply the Russian Orthodox Metropolias of Northern America, Latin America, Western Europe and Oceania.

This is exactly what I worked for after 2007, the event of unity for which we had patiently been waiting since the repentance of Moscow at its Jubilee Council in August 2000. But ROCOR did not work for this after 2007. In May 2006, standing at the Fourth ROCOR Council in San Francisco, where I was one of the ten speakers, I heard the former US ambassador to Kiev, John Herbst, whispering behind me to the then Bishop Agafangel from Odessa, saying: ‘This looks bad. We shall have to work against it from inside’. He was talking about ROCOR’s Conciliar decision (by over 95% to under 5%) to merge with Moscow. He meant that since the decision had been taken, ROCOR would have to be sabotaged from inside, its infiltrated key assets, jealous narcissistic psychopaths, would be activated. And that is exactly what they did, using their agents, who had long ago been planted inside ROCOR for future promotion.

The Moscow Patriarchate? How naïve they are, just like the Russian State, outwitted, as usual, by the infiltration of the CIA! The first indication came immediately in May 2007, when directly after the service in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, where I had concelebrated, one of the most senior CIA-asset priests in ROCOR (he is still alive) turned to me and said in English: ‘We’ve done it’. I knew what he meant by that, though he thought that I did not. I was not a recruit. In May 2007, after the Act had been signed, one ROCOR bishop returned to his country to be greeted by his colleague, the local Moscow bishop, with a smile and the words: ‘Now we are one, we can work together as one’. The ROCOR bishop, a CIA asset since the 1960s, answered him shockingly, that nothing of the sort was going to happen. And herein lies the sin of ROCOR – it did not merge and so lead the way in the Diaspora.

At best it became a museum Church, a relic of the past, turning in on itself, and claiming exclusivity before the outside world as an ideological ghetto, all financed by you know who. Incredibly enough, some extreme right-wingers, later schismatics, in ROCOR before 2007 had actually predicted that Moscow would take over and destroy ROCOR, once the Act of Canonical Communion had been signed in 2007. This was a lie born of the paranoia of elderly pharisees, who were afraid of losing power. In fact, as we have said, it was just the opposite, it was ROCOR which deceived naïve Moscow, using its newly-obtained paper unity with Moscow in order to claim canonicity and so destroy itself. In reality, the small but poisonous American faction gradually destroyed the ROCOR of St John of Shanghai, whom it had already persecuted, suspended and effectively killed in 1966, now hypocritically claiming him as their own!

It denied that he had ever given his shoes away to the barefoot poor, saying that he did not wear shoes because he found them uncomfortable! (I quote a ROCOR bishop). ROCOR sent its control freaks outside the USA to impose its unexportable, Protestant-based, US imperialism on other countries, so ‘draining the swamp’, in fact, however, creating the swamp. It set up the new ROCOR as a sect, that was de facto in communion with no-one, because it considered that all other Orthodox were hated heretics and needed rebaptising. This was to reject the Catholicity and communion of the Church, as is typical of all sects. All it could do from this moment on, as the Russians and Russophiles of the Tradition left ROCOR or were even openly expelled from it, as we were, was to recruit young, naïve, male Protestant converts of the Zionist Evangelical type to replace the people and refill their ranks.

The old ROCOR was killed and the new ROCOR of ignorance of history and Russia, pharisaic condemnation and right-wing fanaticism (the same playbook as had been tried by the Grabbe faction in the 1960s and 1970s) and podcasts for incels, was substituted for it. The new ROCOR flattered their pride, telling neophytes that they had at last found ‘the One True Church’, hypnotising them into spiritual illusion (in Russian ‘prelest’). It was spiritual corn syrup for naïve Americans and a pool of votes for the desperate Republican Party, openly and naively supported by the then ROCOR Metropolitan. ‘You see’, he said, ‘we must vote Trump, as he took part in the anti-abortion march for life in Washington’. Astounded by his naivety, I thought, does he not understand that some politicians will do anything for votes? Does he not know about the misogyny of this man? Does he not know about his Epstein connections?

One day, after this nightmare is over, Moscow will wake up, ceasing to be distracted by the tragedy in the Ukraine, by the Greek invasion of its canonical territory there and in the Baltics, by nationalist centralisation, by the error in Africa, the distressing episcopal scandals of careerism, corruption and depravity, and behave as pastors and not as politicians. Then it will at last deal with ROCOR’s rebellion against the Orthodox Tradition and communion, and apostasy from it, too late realising the huge self-imposed losses of pastors, people and international credibility. Meanwhile, the other fifteen Local Orthodox Churches continue to witness, and we continue in them and with them. Moscow will have to catch us, through overcoming its schisms, restoring communion and concelebration, decentralising its Non-Russian parts, returning to the canonicity/conciliarity/catholicity of the Church.

 

 

The Restructuring of Europe

Foreword: Reason Replaced by Ideology

The elite of the contemporary Western world seems to be in the grip of insanity. Its political and media elite, paid by arms dealers, is irrational. This irrationality is the result of its unrealistic ideology driven by hubris, the same hubris which lay behind the insane and suicidal German invasion of Russia in 1941. This insane wishful thinking states: ‘We must destroy ourselves by rejecting cheap Russian energy and food because Russians are subhuman’.

The roots of this ideology are in the arrogant delusion or fairy tale ‘narrative’ that the West is superior to ‘the Rest’, that Western culture is better than all others. This came from the superior military technology that the West used to possess. This military advance led hypocritical European settlers to call Slavs, Muslims, Native Americans, Africans, Asians and Aborigenes ‘savages’ and genocide them. Now even its military superiority is over, as we can see in Iran.

Four Great Powers?

According to IMF figures, the Gross Domestic Product of China by PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) is about $44 trillion, of the USA some $32 trillion (without finance, insurance and real estate, in reality probably about $20 trillion), of India nearly $19 trillion and of Russia $8 trillion (its vastly underestimated military production means that it is probably about $10 trillion in reality). These are the four largest economies in the world, the Four Powers.

In today’s world reality, of these Four Powers, the three former Regional Powers, China, Russia and India, have become or, in the case of the narrowly nationalist India, whose anti-Muslim nationalism is hindering it, is becoming, Great Powers. And one Great Power, the USA, is fast becoming a Regional Power. This follows its successive routs in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and the Ukraine, the results of its irrational and hateful ideology of superiority.

As a result, the tribute-paying (that is, tariff-paying) Western European vassals and court jesters of the American King Donald are becoming even more irrelevant than their master. As we can see from the collapse of the much-divided NATO and planned US occupation of the last large European colony, Greenland. If Western Europe is to survive, its leaders will have to reverse their ideology and to depend on Russia for energy and food and on China for goods.

The radical contraction of the influence of Western Europe, delusional in its wishful thinking, and the end of NATO will also mean the long-awaited end of the much-hated EU. The whole south-eastern quarter of Western Europe, centred on the largely Orthodox Carpathians and Balkans, will be connected to the Chinese economy by rail. The impoverished Baltics may follow to embrace China, and after them south-western Europe – Spain, Portugal and Italy.

The Borders of European Countries Redrawn: The Ukraine

However, none of this can happen until Western Europe’s old imperialist and racist elites, who hate Russia, China and all the ‘savages’ in the ‘jungle’ (they consider that they alone are in the ‘garden’), have collapsed in coming elections or in civil unrest. The First World War ended in injustices, which caused the Second, which also ended in injustices. As a result of those injustices, we now face the Third Recasting of Europe, which still seeks justice.

Firstly, the Soviet-invented Ukraine is over. The tyranny of Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev, supported by the West, will end. The Ukraine resembles tiny Wales, in the sense that 83% speak Russian as their first language and only 17% speak Ukrainian as their first language and have some limited Russian. And this is about the same as the proportions of those who speak English and Welsh in Wales, where only 17% speak Welsh better than English.

The war in the Ukraine is at last ending after Putin’s long years of diplomatic dithering. We suggest that the nine provinces of Novorossija may return to Russia, and, in a deNATOised (= deNAZIfied) and demilitarised form, the province of Chernivtsy may return to Romania, Zakarpattia may return to Slovakia and Hungary, and the three provinces of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and the western halves of Volyn and Ternopil as far as Pochaev may return to Poland.

The remaining eleven provinces, 40% of the old Soviet Ukraine, the real historical Ukraine in the centre, could retake their historical name of Kievska Rus, resembling a Southern Belarus, also landlocked, again as demilitarised zones. In return, the main beneficiary of land transfers, Poland, could grant a narrow land corridor to Kaliningrad. As for the Russian parts of Moldova like Transnistria and Gagauzia, they could by referendum be ceded to Russia.

In EU Europe

The three Baltic States are collapsing economically and therefore demographically. After the fall of the USSR, the Germans bought out and then closed the Baltic factories and their young people were forced to emigrate to live as wage-slaves in Western Europe. The Baltic elites must stop attacking Russia and grant their Russian minorities their human rights, or else be occupied, the American-appointed, poke-the-bear, puppet elites removed.

Then there are the massive injustices of ex-Yugoslavia. A whole set of non-viable countries were invented by the divide and rule US: Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia. Parts of Serbia were stolen by Croatia. Albania remains the poorest and most crime-ridden country in Europe. These all survive with a permanent NATO and UN presence, which is what prevents justice being done. Here there must be confederative resolutions with justice for all.

In Western Europe, there are four obvious cases of countries which have long sought independence. These are (a Reunited) Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, all at last to be freed of London-based British tyranny. The end of an oppressive and artificial union would mean freedom at last for all the peoples involved. No doubt, given their common history of oppression, they could co-operate together in some loose Confederation of Four Sovereign Nations.

There is also the case of Catalonia, long oppressed by Madrid centralism. However, there are also questions about the artificial, British-invented, post-Waterloo union of Belgium (in fact, the Netherlands, France and a small part of Germany), about a still not denazified West Germany (only East Germany was denazified), which perhaps should go from a Federation into a Confederation, a small part of Austria that is Italian and parts of Slovakia that are Hungarian.

The Restructuring of the Church: Twenty Local Churches?

Kievska Rus should receive autocephaly because few there will ever tolerate hearing the hated Russian Patriarch’s name at services. They will boycott any Russian churches there. If Kievska Rus is granted autocephaly, then Belarus should receive autocephaly too. The three Baltic States and Finland could also form an autocephalous Baltic Orthodox Church. This would mean three new Local Autocephalous Churches, their number going from sixteen to nineteen.

The Romanian Orthodox Church, the Polish Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church of the Czechs and Slovaks would have to take responsibility for the Orthodox in the parts of the Ukraine which returned to them. Carpatho-Russians in eastern Slovakia would be greatly reinforced. Any Orthodox who live in the small part of Zakarpattia, which would return from the old Soviet Ukraine to Hungary, could join the Orthodox Diocese in Hungary.

In the Non-Slav world, we think that the administration of the Patriarchate of Constantinople should move to Northern Greece, perhaps to the town of Ouranoupolis, ‘the City of Heaven’, at the foot of Mt Athos, from which it could at last obtain a monastic episcopate. After nearly 200 years the Church of Greece could return to it. And the Patriarchate of Alexandria should be decolonised by Greeks and Russians and become a black African Patriarchate.

As regards the new Moldova, in an ideal world the Russian and Romanian Patriarchs would together grant its Church autocephaly. In return, Western Europe, already with nearly fifty bishops, could at last receive a new Local Church, to be led by the majority Romanian Church, despite Greeks and some Russians wishing to remain in irrelevant national ghettos, whose nationalism puts them outside Church unity. Then there would be twenty Local Churches.

Afterword: Ecclesioclasm – The Sin Against the Holy Spirit

Certain members of the elite of the Orthodox world are in the grip of insanity, that is, of irrationality. This is the result of their passions for power, money and lust. We say certain members, because only the secularists are in the grip of this insanity, which is the sin of Infallibility, common among secular-minded people, because they have no humility. They say: ‘We do not care for Christ, we only care for our careers, honour, ambition, villas, cars and carnal lusts’.

These are the hireling clerics, the wolves in shepherd’s clothing, who are filioquists, as they consider that they are the source of the Holy Spirit. This is the sin against the Holy Spirit. They place themselves above the canons as despots, who recognise no laws, certainly not the law of Love. They are seized by schismatic anti-Conciliarity. This is the heresy of ‘Pneumatomachy’, of the rejection of the Holy Spirit, breaking the Church by their ‘Ecclesioclasm’.

 

 

 

Political Ideologies, or the Orthodox Christian Faith?

The gates of hell shall not prevail.

All around treason and cowardice and deceit.

Tsar Nicholas II after being overthrown

Introduction: The Judgement of the Nations

The world lies in evil, says St John the Theologian. This is why the world always refuses God’s Truth. But as we Christians are called on to live in the world, to which we do not belong, we have to know what spirit directs the world and how to remain faithful to God’s Truth despite it. Thus, although it is natural for Orthodox to defend our countries as patriots, we know that Christ stands above patriotism. Therefore, we clearly recognise that wars against or even between Orthodox Christian countries happen only because Orthodox Christian countries put nationalism above Christ. Such wars are the Judgement of God on apostasy. Such was the war between Serbs and Bulgarians in 1912-1913, such is the war between Russians and Ukrainians. God does not force Himself on others. Leave God and He leaves you. Those who do not live with God choose to live with the devil, the father of lies. Such is the choice possible with human freedom.

Political Ideologies Against the Faith

Wars of the Collective West against Russia, whether Hot or Cold, have never ended. Though they began earlier, they began in earnest after the Russian defeat of Napoleon’s multinational invasion in 1812, when it became clear that Russia had become a Great Power. Since then, the tide of War has only ebbed or flowed. It flowed with Napoleon in 1812, again with the Anglo-French-Muslim invasion of Russia from 1853 to 1856, again with the Western-financed Japanese attack on Russia in 1904, part of the Imperial British ‘Great Game’. Then it flowed with the German invasion of Russia in 1914, with the British-rigged overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II in 1917, with the Collective Western invasion of Russia between 1919 and 1922, and with the German-led invasion of 1941. It ebbed at times, recently after 1991 until the NATO proxy Georgian invasion of Russian-protected Ossetia in 2008, and flowed again in the Ukraine after 2014.

The situation is usually presented as follows. There are only two choices in this world: either to be for Russia and for all the propaganda in favour of Russian nationalism, for instance, for the nationalist Tsar Ivan IV (admittedly much less harmful than his dreadful contemporary Henry VIII), for Tsars, especially for Peter I and the German Catherine II, who introduced feudal serfdom, for Lenin, who created the Ukraine, for Stalin, who murdered hundreds of thousands, and for xenophobia against anything Western. Or else it is possible to be for the West and for all the racist Russophobic propaganda against Russia and Russian culture, playing on the inferiority complex of pseudo-Western Russian liberals, for anything in favour of the US substitute Patriarchate of Constantinople, for LGBT, or for the CIA-run ROCOR, and for spreading Russia-hating myths like ‘Russian roulette’, which was only ever an American invention.

In other words, the situation is all about a choice between alternative nationalist political ideologies, but not at all about the Christian Faith, it is all about viewing the Church through the lens of nationalist politics. And yet it should be about Faith. What about Christ and His Church? Have they forgotten? There are in fact 16 Local Orthodox Churches. 14, nearly 90%, of them, are not Constantinopolitan or Muscovite (even if those two have some 50% of the Orthodox people between them – once you subtract all the Non-Russians under Moscow, not least the Ukrainians). And in any case, the vast majority of Churches people and educated clergy even in these two Local Churches of Moscow and Constantinople are for Christ and have no truck with nationalist ideologies. Only their leadership is contaminated by the anti-pastoral, Papist spirit of politics, power, money and prestige. Some wonder if such even believe in God.

The Fruit of Replacing the Christian Faith by Nationalist Ideologies.

The bureaucratic elite of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, to be exact the tiny minority of Phanariots, are well-known for their love of money, prestige and power, which is why they worship and imitate the Vatican and present themselves as ‘Eastern Papists’, ‘first without equals’. They form a Dictatorship without Catholicity. Sadly, as none of them is married, this also leads to perversions, just as in their favourite Vatican. And so their political ideology is Ecumenism yesterday, the Green Patriarch today, LGBT tomorrow, and the day after the next fad from the Western woke bandwagon. But nothing changes, it all remains exclusivist Greek nationalism, phyletism, called ‘Hellenism’. The Archpastors have been replaced by Archpoliticians and, sometimes, Archbandits. And the bureaucratic and careerist elite of the Patriarchate of Moscow, where there was once great potential, similarly fell from freedom and grace.

Copying Greek nationalist Phanariots, in recent years they invented their exclusivist and racist ideology, ‘the Russian world’ – the same Dictatorship without Catholicity. However, unlike the secularist Greeks, they marketed themselves as having ‘traditional values’. Sadly, Lenin’s mummy is still revered in the centre of Moscow, the capital of abortion, and Russia is full of statues and the names of Stalin and his henchmen like Sverdlov. Traditional? And some bishops are sexual deviants or mini-oligarchs. Masculine? Well, have you seen the videos of Russian metropolitans with boyfriends and bishops? Masculine? Orthodox Christianity is about family life and that is definitely not anti-woman and anti-children. The Moscow Patriarchate will even support the new ROCOR heresy of rebaptism, as long as clericalist ritual is observed and the Patriarch’s name is heard. All others in the other 15 Local Churches are schismatics or heretics.

This is because, according to the nationalists, the schism and heresy of all the others is not to commemorate the Russian Patriarch, even though that is forbidden by the local State and ROCOR did not do it for eighty years. Certain of the senior bishops are mini-oligarchs who rule their dioceses under harsh, totalitarian regimes, as the new, all-American ROCOR has copied. One metropolitan in Russia has recently bankrupted his large metropolia. Some priests are very poor because their bishops take their money with threats, like mafiosi. As a result, you have many scandals, like those in the Skopin Diocese, in Kolomna, Rostov on Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Tatarstan, Kazan (among several others) and that here in England. And then there is the viper’s nest of careerist homosexuals who attack seminarians and honest priests. Where is the Russian Church of the Saints, of the New Martyrs and Confessors, part of the whole Church of Catholicity of All the Saints?

Conclusion: The Victory of Christ

And where is the glorious Church of Constantinople, led by the Antiochian St John Chrysostom, followed by a host of saintly patriarchs, persecuted monks and faithful? Archpoliticians and Archbandits instead of Archpastors. And it is the same problem everywhere. When bishops stopped being real monks, then it all went wrong, beginning with Rome in the late eighth century. Regardless of where human-beings live, in Moscow, Constantinople, or anywhere else, regardless of when they live, yesterday, today, or tomorrow, human nature remains the same and the temptations are the same. There is one acid test, the one that Christ gave us and lived for us in his Life on earth: By their fruits you shall know them, and, A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

On Athos, in Diveyevo, Optina and Pochaev, Putna and Prislop, and in all the other bastions of Orthodoxy, we are praying for the freedom of the Church. Away with luxury cars and yachts, private railways carriages, silken cassocks and gold! The Diveyevo Brotherhood is coming for the Great Cleansing of the corrupt in the Church. St Sergius of Radonezh, St Xenia of Petersburg, St Seraphim of Sarov, St Matrona of Moscow, Elder Nikolai Guryanov all lived in poverty. And so will you!

 

 

 

Orthodoxy in Western Europe After the Ukraine Debacle

The Political Situation

The conflict in the Ukraine has dragged on for years, perhaps because Russia had to be ready for a war to defend itself against Western Europe. Now the West has been divided into two, with the USA abandoning Western Europe and even withdrawing from NATO after its defeat by Iran, Russia is ready. It can defend itself in a war against Western Europe. The latter’s elite wants to launch that war as soon as possible. However, the people of Western Europe have no interest whatsoever in such an attack on Russia – the words of its elite are probably just empty bluster. In any case, the hated pro-Zelensky elite of Western Europe is collapsing, with the most aggressive, Starmer, gone first.

The most disliked man in the UK, a tedious and depressing bureaucrat, the dullest of all sociopathic, Establishment-appointed functionaries, with a fake wife and Ukrainian ‘male models’, has gone. The peoples of Britain cheer with happiness, even if he is replaced by his clone, Burnham. The highly unpopular Merz and Macron may be next to fall, together with all manner of sexual perverts and cocaine addicts who belong to the Globalist elite. After this, new leaders may begin siding with their peoples. Spain has already started in its campaign against Zionist genocide. Italy and Ireland are beginning, with Poland objecting to the genocide of the Kiev Fascists against the Poles in 1943.

After four lost years of diplomatic moderation and caution, Russia will reluctantly be obliged to take over all of the Ukraine, if it wants to demilitarise and denazify it. Then it will be in a position to negotiate with its neighbours: ‘Leave NATO and we will return the lands in the Ukraine which Stalin stole from you, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Poland’. Years late, a New Ukraine can at last be dragged out of its corruption, poverty and the oppression of its Zionist bandit-oligarchs and cocaine addicts, to Russian standards of living. This will leave the Orthodox Church problem to be solved at last, but only as part of the resolution of the general Church architecture problem in Western Europe.

The Church Situation

In 1988 we proposed that there should be a new Autocephalous Local Western European Orthodox Church, in six and then perhaps eight Archdioceses. The latter could eventually become Autocephalous Local Churches in their own right. These six or eight Local Archdioceses were: Italia = Italy, San Marino, Italian-speaking Switzerland and Malta; Iberia = Spain, Portugal, Andorra and Gibraltar; Iona = The British Isles and Ireland; Gallia = France, Monaco and French-speaking Belgium and Switzerland; Scandinavia = Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark; Germania = Germany, Netherlands, Flanders, Luxembourg, German-speaking Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria.

The latter three countries may now have enough Orthodox to be separated from an Archdiocese of Germania. And the two and a half countries of Benelux might one day be big enough to separate too. Eight new Local Churches? Geographically, nothing has changed since 1988, but much has changed in other respects. The Constantinople Church is now much smaller, as it dies out, though a few living parts have moved out of the Greek ghetto. The three parts of the Russian Church finally reached unity, until the now fully Americanised CIA ROCOR fell into schism from the Archdiocese of Western Europe. Now the latter is proposing to consecrate its Moldovan bishops, defying Moscow like Riga.

Above all, despite the presence of Ukrainians, Serbs, Macedonians, Bulgarians, Antiochians and Georgians, Orthodox Western Europe is dominated by the Romanian Church. Divided into two Autonomous Metropolias, there are now over four million Romanians and Moldovans (some of the latter also form the bulk of the Moscow presence, with two bishops) in Western Europe. With ten bishops, the Romanians and Moldovans have nearly 1300 parishes and thirty monasteries. This is about 65% of all Orthodox. Moreover, the Romanian Church is very close to the canonical Ukrainian presence. The two peoples get on very well and there are bilingual parishes, as in Romania and the Ukraine.

The Future?

The Patriarchate of Romania could yet move to establish an Autocephalous Western European Orthodox Church, given its majority situation, Latin language and its incarnation into several parts of Western Europe. It full well knows that, in any case, the Greeks and the Russians would not initially take part in any new Autocephalous Western European Church. They boycott localisation, as they both suffer from their anti-Incarnational, anti-Catholicity imperial ideologies, namely, ‘Hellenism’ and ‘the Russian World’. The hope would be that the below eight national Diaspora groups would band together, initially leaving Greeks and Russians out in the cold, as they so clearly desire.

Romanians, Moldovans, Serbs, Ukrainians, Macedonians, Bulgarians, Antiochians and Georgians together? The parishes of the Paris Archdiocese of Western Europe would join such a new Western European Local Church quickly, leaving Moscow Russian nationalists, ROCOR American Protestant nationalists and Greek Phanariot nationalists to die out in self-imposed isolation. Their second and third generations would vote with their feet, leaving the empty buildings and the old peoples’ homes behind them. What of the other European countries, which are not included above and are not part of a Local Church (Slovenia, Croatia, Czechia, Slovakia and Poland)?

It seems to me that Finland and the three Baltic States should have their own single Baltic Church, with autocephaly granted by Moscow. All pro-Romanian parts of Moldova should return to the Romanian Church. And similarly, Hungary should have its own Church, if the 600 parishes of Carpatho-Russia return to Hungary and not to Slovakia. If to Slovakia, then Hungary should form its own Archdiocese, linked with the Romanian Church, which already has a bishop and diocese there. In a Russia in BRICS, where sovereignty is the norm, the Moscow Church would have to reform itself, at last escaping its Imperial and Soviet straitjacket, and grant autocephaly to the New Ukraine and Belarus.

 

 

A Note on Lost Church Unity in Northern America

When in December 1898 the future Patriarch and Saint, Bp Tikhon (Bellavin) (1865-1925), arrived in the USA via Berlin, Paris, Le Havre and New York, he was destined to take charge of a multinational Orthodox diocese: Inuits in Alaska, former Uniat Carpatho-Russian refugees from Hungarian religious and economic oppression in Pennsylvania, and Syrians in New York. Three main groups, not to mention small numbers of Greeks, Serbs and others. And Bishop Tikhon united them, moving his headquarters from Alaska to San Francisco and then to New York.

My memories of Fr Alexander Schmemann (1922-1982) are linked with this past. I knew many who had known him in Paris before and during World War II. I knew how, with the highly intellectual Fr George Florovsky moved, Fr Alexander had, miraculously, obtained Autocephaly from the then enslaved Moscow Patriarchate for the canonically disputed ‘Metropolia’, as it was then called, and from it manufactured the OCA – the Orthodox Church in America.

I had read all of Fr Alexander’s books in the 70s and had found much obvious common sense in them. I had understood that his seeming modernism and Parisian anti-monasticism were psychological reactions to the compromised and ritualistic aristocratic Orthodoxy brought to Paris, where he had grown up. Fr Alexander had done much to overcome that ritualism and point out that communion was not a once a year event, but should be at every eucharist. This came out very clearly in his Diaries, published in Russia, rather sadly ‘redacted’ in their English translation.

I met Fr Alexander in Paris in May 1980, and he invited me to St Vladimir’s, Knowing that I would be out of place there, I turned down his offer, not least since I had been offered more in London, an offer which then did not materialise. Looking back, perhaps I would have made a home at St Tikhons, of which at that time I had not even heard. I would have been closer to St Tikhon through St Tikhon’s, closer to the way.

If I had time and the means, I would love to compile a biography of St Tikhon in several volumes. This is because I believe that the future of Orthodoxy in Northern America is in St Tikhon. Unity there is surely in the return to the pre-Revolutionary piety and lack of nationalism of St Tikhon. Before us there still gleams the great prize of Orthodox unity and an authentic united Northern American Orthodox Church (NAOC). St Tikhon is the past, the present and the future in this matter, together with others who will reap the harvest.

Q and A Spring 2026

We do not want to go to Rome, Constantinople or Moscow, we want to go to Heaven! We want Archpastors, not Archpoliticians!

The Nature of the Church and its Governance

Q: With the schism between Greeks and Russians, some say that the Orthodox Church does not exist. What would you say?

A: Of course, it does not exist and never has done. But this is nothing to do with the current political dispute, created by the CIA. The words ‘the Orthodox Church’ are abstract, but the principle of the Church is concrete, it is the Incarnation. The Church it is not an abstract idea, as in the minds of Protestants, it is real in places. Concretely, we think of the real Local Orthodox Churches, of Orthodox Christianity, of the Orthodox Faith. Such was the situation in the New Testament, with the Local Churches in Corinth, Ephesus, Colossae, Philippi, Galatia, Thessaloniki, Rome. Today there are sixteen Local Churches, double the number 150 years ago. In 150 years’ time, that number may well double again to 32 Local Churches, in any case reaching at least 24. What is One and creates Unity is the Orthodox Faith, shared by all the Local Churches.

Q: Can the Church be corrupt?

A: If you see ‘The Church’ as a group of upper middle-class Anglican bishops appointed by an atheist or Hindu Prime Minister, as I think you do, then it is corrupt. However, that is not the Church, that is a mere human organisation, founded by a corrupt and evil King out of lust and some of whose properties were ‘privatised’ and handed out to his cronies, and which is run by accountants. In reality, the Church is the Body of Christ (in the words of the Apostle Paul), and it is run by the Holy Spirit. This can be seen clearly in the case of the Church in heaven.

As for the Church on earth, I think it can be likened to a huge Ship, carrying to Paradise those who sail in it, the captain, the navigator, the senior officers, mechanics, cooks, waiters, cleaners, plumbers, doctors, as well as the very many passengers, who are baptised. Some of these help the crew greatly, some do not, in fact they hinder. Sometimes some passengers decide to leave the Ship on lifeboats, which get lost or sink, others follow in the wake for a time and some from them get back on. Some passengers jump off, others come in new boats and climb on board. If the latest captain is bad, so what? Sooner or later the Owner of the Ship will come and change course, appointing a new captain. In the end, all are only passengers, who follow the Owner.

Q: Is the Church hierarchical or congregational?

A: If you are Roman Catholic, especially a traditionalist, then it is hierarchical. If you are Protestant, then it is congregational. If you are a normal Orthodox Christian, it is both. However, if you are some sort of old calendarist / ROCOR convert and you dream of dressing in clerical or monastic garments and hats and having a long beard or, if a woman, of dressing as a nun, then it is hierarchical. And if you are a liberal modernist, then it is congregational and you ignore and despise bishops.

Q: What happens in a Church if there is a shortage of suitable candidates for the episcopate?

A: We recently had the visit of a Romanian bishop. He told us how he and the Metropolitan are the only bishops in the Metropolia of Iasi of over 1,200 parishes. The Metropolia is in fact run by 15 deans, married priests. This system of delegation works very well. And that is in a Local Church which has a lot of active monasteries.

I remember in Moscow in 2007 being told that the Russian Church had 2,000 candidates to be bishops. This was quite untrue. They had in reality 2,000 single men who had an interest in a career in the Church. In fact, over 300 of the 2,000 became bishops. The results have been catastrophic and many have already had to be defrocked; many others will be. Single men with an interest in the Church do not make bishops! When will this common sense fact be understood in Moscow and Constantinople?

If there is a shortage of good bishops, then delegate! Thus, in the Russian Church exhausted bishops rush around at the end of Lent and in Holy Week doing long unction services, whereas in the Romanian Church priests can do unction services every month, if they wish. Such things are delegated. Only ordinations are not delegated.

Q: What sorts of bishop are there in your experience?

A: There are the real bishops, who are shepherds and love their flock, who loves them: St Spyridon, St Nicholas, St Nectarios, St John of Shanghai. The rest are lovers of themselves – administrators, narcissists, intellectuals, careerists, thieves, sadists, bullies, sexually disturbed homosexuals, pedophiles and psychopaths.

Q: What is more important, frequent confession or frequent communion?

A: Both. There should be frequent communion and confession, together with frequent prayer, the prayer of the heart and prayer from the prayerbook. This is different from the heterodox world, which has only frequent communion.

Q: Ever since the incidents in Amsterdam in 2022, the Russian Church has been known as ‘the Persecuting Church’ and lost most of its credit. How did a Persecuted Church become a Persecuting Church?

A: Persecution certainly was not present until 2008, when Patriarch Alexis was there. Then tens of millions of newly baptised and sometimes very zealous people and clergy worked enthusiastically hand in hand to rebuild the Church. The change came afterwards, with the spirit of centralisation (an old Soviet hangover), Papalisation (all those visits to the Vatican were a sign of this), bureaucratisation (the paperwork which was suddenly demanded by the Centre and detested by the priests), the military-style clericalisation (literal uniformity in dress, but also in political opinions), the closeness to the State and the Armed Forces, ‘blessing’ tanks, bombs and guns, and the insistence on rigid discipline, ritualisation and the use of archaic and little understood Slavonic.

All I can say is that the Persecuting Church developed in a process between 2008 and 2022. Let us take the mid-point of 2015 as a symbolic date for its appearance. And the essential reason for all this is that by then State politics, raison d’etat, had been put above pastoral love and above the support for Orthodox teaching. Schism followed. Schism always follows politics, that is why we speak of party (part) politics.

Q: Has your parish ever produced a monk?

A: Yes, we had one. However, he went to a monastery in the USA, where he was ‘touched up’ by a monk. He fled and came to complain to the bishop here, who had already turned down the offer of a free monastery, which had involved me in a lot of hard, but wasted, work. That bishop in turn made homosexual advances to the monk. The result was that the monk fled from him too. Later, others fled.

Q: Where do you think ROCOR is heading today?

A: In 2007 it had the opportunity of bringing its liturgical and ascetic heritage to help in renewing the life of the ex-Soviet Russian Church and the Local Churches in the Diaspora, as the late Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware) insightfully urged. Instead of making a positive contribution, however, ROCOR gradually began developing into a negative exclusive sect and cult, especially after 2017.

Having only a very small ethnic flock, it began recruiting crazies. The rest, as they say, is history. Therefore, today its American Synod is already in schism from most Local Churches, for which it has expressed hatred, not love. After its recent meeting at its former US church in Munich, donated to it by the CIA, I fear it may turn altogether into a Californian homosexual and pedophile sect.

The Undivided World and the Zionist World

Q: How did the Western world come to dominate the rest of the world until quite recently?

A: This is the question raised, but only vaguely answered, by the great Roman Catholic cultural historian and philosopher, Christopher Dawson (+ 1970), the English Berdyayev, in such books as Religion and the Rise of Western Culture. Here he writes that Western supremacy comes from a restless spirit, a spiritual energy, ‘a spirit that strives to change the world’. In Orthodoxy, we know what that spirit is; as a Catholic, he did not.

Before the eleventh century there was a multipolar world, as the Pentarchy of five Patriarchates was, which was not dominated by any one centre. We can see this in the life of the saintly English King Alfred the Great, who visited Europe, sent alms to Jerusalem, which he never, quite unthinkably, tried to seize from the Muslims. He also sent alms to India and despatched a mission to explore the countries around the White Sea.

Multipolarity is a sign of diversity and of unity in diversity, the sign of the Holy Trinity. The late historian Robert Moore describes in detail how from the early eleventh century on, any diversity was persecuted, in his The Formation of a Persecuting Society: Authority and Deviance in Western Europe, 950–1250.

Multipolarity was gradually destroyed by what we can call Zionism or Universalism. The First West, the West of the first millennium, was pre-Zionist, that is, diverse. The symbol and reality of this Zionism is the filioque. That heresy, adopted in the late eighth century as an imperial ideology in what is now western Germany and spread slowly until it was promulgated in Rome in 1014, is anti-Trinitarian. It dePersonalises the Trinity, making the Father and the Son into One and the Holy Spirit the mere link between them (as portrayed in many a heretical icon). This is why the Church insists on the Holy Trinity.

To the Vatican it was rather irrelevant, as the Unitarian Head of their ‘Church’ is the Pope of Rome, whom all must obey. Protestant Unitarians are like freemasons, who believe in One Architect-God. Thus, Western Europe moved away from the ascetic and grace-filled towards the legal and the moral, as seen, for instance, in Roman Catholic ‘days of obligation’ and Protestant puritanism.

Q: What is Zionism, in theological terms?

A: Zionism means universalism that is, globalism, the movement towards One World Dictatorship, homogeneity, unity without diversity, overseen by oligarchs. These think they are infallible, superior to those whom they consider to be lesser human-beings. Trotskyism is a classic example. Today’s extraterrestrial (or is that demonic?) ‘Muskism’ is another. Zionism can only exist outside the Holy Trinity, which is the principle of unity in diversity.

Here it is important to state that Zionism is by no means necessarily Jewish. By far the majority of Zionists are not Jews. Indeed, a great many Jews are anti-Zionists. For example, the last Non-Zionist US presidents were Eisenhower and Kennedy, that is, over sixty years ago. Since then, all US presidents have been Zionists, whether Democrat or Republican, but none has been a Jew. One of the greatest British Zionists was the psychopathic Churchill – he had no Jewish blood, despite what absurd conspiracy theories claim. His ancestor John Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, was also a Zionist. Other British Zionists include Cromwell, Rhodes, Thatcher and Blair, among many others.

Moreover, even among Jewish Zionists, there is huge variety of individuals, of left and right and nothing at all, for example, Rothschild and Marx, Trotsky and Zuckerberg, Freud and Spielberg, Sarkozy and Zelensky, in the UK Maxwell, Mandelson, Starmer (by his wife), Straw, the Milibands and Polanski, Milei in Argentina, or in the USA, Epstein, Witkoff, Kushner and Cohen (Trump’s mentor and friends).

Some homosexual politicians are also Zionists, for example, Mandelson (and many other Blairites such as N. Brown and Streeting), Lord Ali, the Dutch Rutte, several in the US-run Baltic States, and the US Bessent, Graham and many others.

Some pedophiles are also Zionists and are very active in the media, for example in the gagging-ordered, heavily censored (‘editorially controlled’) BBC. This perhaps should be called the ABCC (the Anti-British Broadcasting Corporation), as it appears to be controlled by Zionist journalists and pedophiles too numerous to name here, for Savile, Harris and Edwards are only the tip of the iceberg.

Today parts of the USA appear to be ruled by Zionist oligarchs and perverts, the so-called Epstein class, the majority of whom are not Jewish, but who are globalists. They run the banks, the oil corporations, Silicon Valley, the nuclear-armed military, Wall Street, Hollywood, the PR industry, the legacy media, the social media and pseudo-academia. They operate by sanctions and tariffs, instead of by encouragement and development. To drain the US swamp and not to be sucked into it must be very difficult.

Contemporary Wars

Q: Would you say that the wars in the Ukraine and Iran form one single World War?

A: Yes, but it must be understood that this World War is not only a military War and that it began decades ago. Indeed, for 35 years, since 1991, the West has been embarked on a war against the world, which has been composed of a series of campaigns to promote a ‘forever’ war in several phases, both military and social. This began in Iraq and Serbia, spread to Afghanistan, created the chaos in Libya and Syria, included the campaign against the anti-globalist Brexit, the social engineering attempts to enforce the manmade climate change and net zero myths and to poison the weak and elderly with manmade covid, and then the new phases of this one single war, in the Ukraine and Iran.

Is Today’s Rome Washington or Moscow?

Q: The US Secretary for War, Hegseth, has on his chest a tattoo in the form of a red cross, surrounded by four smaller crosses. It looks Orthodox. Is it?

A: No. This US Secretary for War wears the crusader cross. He has, after all, like the crusaders, tried to destroyed to invade West Asia and Eastern Europe. These crusades have since 1096 become worldwide. Thus, President Bush also launched a ‘crusade’ against Iraq, as he publicly declared, and that is why the current US Secretary of War wears a crusader cross tattoo. He follows a very long history.

It is all logical. Just as the Papacy used excommunications and indulgences, so his successors, the US President in his Capitol and the EU Commissars, use sanctions and tariffs. However, those ‘infallible’ and ‘exceptional’ Fascist crusaders, who are above the law, not only cannot win in the Ukraine against a Superpower like Russia, they cannot even win against a regional power like Iran. Washington is not Rome.

Q: Is Moscow the Third Rome?

A: When Archbishop Nikitas was at last appointed Archbishop of the Greek Thyateira Archdiocese in Great Britain in 2019, in order to save a Greek ethnic group from rapidly dying out, he gave a radio interview to the Spectator. In this he stated that the Moscow the Third Rome idea is absurd, that there is no Third Rome, only a First and Second Rome! In other words, he was only a mouthpiece for Phanariot ideology. As one very senior and outspoken (in private) Greek cleric from the Patriarchate of Constantinople said to me of his own Patriarch last year: ‘We are waiting for the toilet to flush’. His words, not mine.

Rome, First, Second or Third, are all an absurd and fatal distraction, worse still, a delusion and those who believe in it are delusional, whether in Washington or Moscow. We want Jerusalem, not Rome. Romes are the downfall of the Church. We do not want to go to some Rome, we want to go to Heaven. We want Archpastors, not Archpoliticians. The so-called First, Second and Third Romes are irrelevant in Church life, as they all fell, in 1054, 1453 and 1917 respectively. Why keep harping on about the fallen and disappeared past? Neither Moscow, nor Constantinople, nor Rome are of any importance or help now, as we face, potentially, the end of the world.

Hatred of Russia

Q: Why do so many politicians hate Russia, but not other Orthodox countries like Romania, Greece, Bulgaria? King Charles, for example, loves Romania, and owns properties there, tourists love Greece, yet many hate Russia.

A: The elite of the Western world hates Russia and not other Orthodox countries, because the latter are small, poor and weak, unlike Russia, which is vast, rich and powerful. In other words, it is all about jealousy and greed for resources.

The British elite especially hates Russia, because in October 1917 Russian-language, Marxist ideologues overthrew the masonic MI6 regime imposed on Russia by the British between December 1916 and October 1917. This is why they made up the Litvinenko, Salisbury and now El Money cases as cheap propaganda. In the same way, the American elite hates Cuba and Iran, because they are the only ones who successfully overthrew CIA-imposed regimes.

As regards British Russophobia, see in greater detail: The Genesis of Russophobia in Great Britain from 1815 to 1841: A Study of the Interaction of Policy and Opinion by John Howes Gleason, Cambridge, Harvard University Press, London Oxford University Press 1950.

President Putin

Q: President Putin seems to be very cold. Do you think he is?

A: I have only been able to observe him one in real life, in 2007, but I think his apparent coldness is because he is probably autistic, that is, he is someone who is brilliant at systems, but perhaps lacks people skills. He is an ultra-cautious diplomat and lawyer, who does everything by the book. He has an excellent memory and is brilliant at chess and German, but he presents a very blurred image of Russia.

Nobody quite knows where he stands. He used to be a devout Westerner, a protégé of Yeltsin, who wanted to join NATO. He has acknowledged publicly his many mistakes of naivety after 2014. Many blame him for the Ukrainian situation and not acting then, which would have been far less destructive of life and property. His present indecisive diplomacy is frustrating to some and makes him seem weak and naïve. As a result, he has led Russia into full-blown nationalism. Neither his previous Westernism, nor his present nationalism are Orthodox. We are still obliged to wait for Russia to move out of both these deviations, Westernism and nationalism, towards Christ.

Q: Who could replace Putin in this year’s Russian elections?

A: The elections in Russia next September are Parliamentary elections, not Presidential. President Putin will stay. But the influence of the former Westerner and now strong Russian nationalist Medvedev may become a lot stronger. Rightly or wrongly, he is seen as strong and decisive. Others have unflattering views about him. We shall see.

Personal

Q: Do you hope to live a long life?

A: I hope so, as there is still so much to do, or so it seems to me, but what I hope is completely irrelevant. God decides. Perhaps tomorrow I will be gone! As Chaucer wrote: The life so short, the craft so long to learn.

 

 

Resisting the Servants of Antichrist: Working for the Freedom and Unity of Old and New Orthodox Churches

You will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free

John: 8,32

Introduction: Patriotism Defeats Globalism

The enemy of local Patriotism has always been Globalist Imperialism. That means the hegemonic rule and tyrannical domination of the world by one monopolistic power. This is known as Zionism. And if we are speaking about Imperialism since 1945, we are speaking about Americanisation, also known as Globalisation, meaning Zionisation. This is the One World Dictatorship of Antichrist, which his servants have been working towards for ten centuries and was first attempted by the universalist claims of the Popes of Rome.

Today, however, we are entering a new period, that of a world without a monopoly of power, a world with at least nine different centres of power and influence, China, Russia, India, the USA, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Iran, South Africa. As a result, we are speaking about the Re-Sovereignisation of the lands of the world after the defeat of Globalism by Patriotism, described below.

Political ReSovereignisation

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave North Asia (Eurasia, known as Russia), abandoning its outmatched, outclassed and bankrupt Neo-Nazi proxy, the Kiev regime, which absurdly attempted to destroy Russia by sacrificing the lives of millions of its own citizens to the Zionist US elite.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave North-West Asia (the Western European Peninsula), abandoning to Eurasia the hated Globalist, illegal puppet elites the US put into power in the Neo-Nazi controlled NATO/EU countries.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave West Asia (‘the Middle East’), abandoning the Zionist settler state and its corrupt and tyrannical Gulf puppets to the Great Power of West Asia, which is, and always has been, Iran.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave East Asia (China), abandoning its local puppet elites in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, and withdrawing its missiles and troops from there.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave South Asia (the Indian subcontinent), which depends on Iranian and Russian energy to survive.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave South-East Asia (Australia and all Oceania), abandoning its absurdly expensive and quite unnecessary local NATO, called AUKUS.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave Africa, as its lands at last gain the courage to throw off colonial control.

Today we see that the USA is being forced to leave Latin America, having lost all support for the conquest of Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland and Canada.

Church ReSovereignisation

‘Those who put the Patriarch into power in Constantinople will remove him’.

Eldress Galaktia of Crete (+ 2021)

In Church terms, this means that the USA will also be forced to abandon its puppet in Constantinople. This it has controlled ever since, in one its first criminal acts, the CIA kidnapped the righteous confessor Patriarch Maximos V in 1948 and took him into exile in Switzerland in the presidential plane of the atomic mass murderer Truman. As a result, the CIA tried to exercise its anti-canonical control over all the Local Orthodox Churches through the deliberate Zionist misinterpretation of the Church canons, notably Canon 28 of the Council of Chalcedon, thus flattering anti-Christian Hellenist racism.

Freedom at long last for the Patriarchate of Constantinople would mean that the Russian Church would not have to try and be Zionist either. For, equally absurdly, Zionist, Soviet Moscow has in rivalry also tried to lay claim to universal domination of all the Local Orthodox Churches in the same way as Zionist Constantinople. Now they both harbour the same imperialist, that is, anti-Christian, anti-Catholic and anti-local, ambitions. The restoration of Russian Church governance through its Re-Sovereignisation would be possible. But for that it must overcome its stiflingly bureaucratic Soviet-style Papalised centralisation.

However, the corruption of the Russian Church, its Papalisation, Statisation, nationalisation, clericalisation, militarisation, bureaucratisation and ritualisation, goes back before 1917. For even in 1917 the vast majority of its bishops betrayed the Orthodox Tsar. But the heroic confessor and martyr Patriarch Tikhon did not. Before that, it was for 200 years enslaved as a Department of State on the Protestant model by a Tsar who was Protestant in all but name. Any number of episcopal quenchers of the Spirit, ‘good administrators’ (the words of Metr Antony of Kiev (1863-1936)), now called ‘effective managers’, were found then, as now.

The governance of the Russian Church is Papalised (they adore the Pope of Rome and go there as often as possible), controlled by a Sovietised senior clerical caste, for now schismatically out of communion with other Local Churches, is top heavy, irrelevant to the people and above all has been unfaithful to the New Martyrs and Confessors. The New Martyr Tsar Nicholas knew this 120 years ago and prayed for the spiritual renewal of the clergy. The best of the Russian emigration like St John of Shanghai knew it too. But freedom and restoration have still not come. Soviet-style nationalism is not patriotism, for it makes Russia hated.

Conclusion: The Suicide of Psychopaths Brings Life to Others

A few days ago, the psychopathic and foul-mouthed Trump, the master of vulgarity and bad taste, resembling the mafia boss of a gangster Empire more than a President of a democratic republic, threatened that a ‘whole civilization will die tonight’. In his malignant narcissist folly mixed with dementia, the main representative of the anti-family Epstein class threatened to kill 5,000 years of Iranian Civilisation. This was just like another American narcissistic bully, a spoilt brat and virulent supporter of Trump, only a few of whose effeminate and sycophantic clergy had the guts to resist. He threatened to kill 50 years of English Orthodox Civilisation, its foundations in the distant past and threatened to destroy its families today.

In fact, both shot themselves in both feet, Trump, by losing in the Ukraine and then in Iran, the bishop by creating a schism against Orthodoxy and then against English identity. Trump is isolated from the rest of the world, he has no allies and has blasphemed against Christ, so he will finish badly. The bishop has isolated himself from fifteen Local Churches and will be isolated within his own, once it comes out of its schism against the Greek Orthodox world. Once his own Local Church is no longer distracted by politics, he too will find himself totally isolated. Thus, we successfully resist the servants of Antichrist, when they commit spiritual suicide.

 

 

 

I Had a Dream: Twelve Days that Would Shake the Orthodox World

Moscow, Wednesday 1st, The Ascension Thursday 2nd, and Friday 3rd June

After the Liturgy for the Leavetaking of Pascha and the resignation of the previous Patriarch, Metropolitan Pavel was elected Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox (ROC). The first act of the Patriarch and his Synod was to rename the Soviet-era ‘Moscow Patriarchate’ ‘the Patriarchate of New Jerusalem and All Russia’ and to move his administration to the New Jerusalem Monastery outside Moscow for deSovietisation. Then the Synod refrocked all who had been defrocked for political reasons by the old regime and cleansed the Church by defrocking ‘the princes of the Church’, placed there by the old regime. These were all the corrupt careerists, thieves and sadists, who had humiliated and persecuted faithful priests and people, the sexually disturbed narcissists, intellectuals, homosexuals, pedophiles and psychopaths who hated married priests, women and children.

After the Ascension Feast Liturgy, Patriarch Pavel set up four new Autocephalous Local Churches. These new Churches were: the Kievska Rus Church (for the new Ukraine), the Belarussian Church, the Baltic Church (for Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania) and the Central Asian Church (for the five stans of Central Asia). Also the OCA (Orthodox Church in America), founded by Moscow, was renamed the NAOC (Northern American Orthodox Church). The ROC gave up its Northern American parishes to the NAOC, those in Oceania to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, those in South America and those in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean to the Patriarchate of Antioch, and all those in Western Europe and Hungary to the Patriarchate of Romania. They also told the rogue, schismatic ROCOR group that it had one year to follow or be excommunicated.

Finally, the Patriarch also transformed the Church’s Department of External Relations into the Department of Inter-Orthodox Relations. On Friday afternoon the new Patriarch left Moscow and proceeded with his delegation to Istanbul for reconciliation and the renewal of concelebration with the Patriarchate of Constantinople and the other Greek-speaking Churches.

Istanbul, Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th and Monday 6th June

After the resignation of the previous Patriarch, Bishop Petros was elected Patriarch of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. The first act of the Patriarch and his Synod was to cleanse the Church by defrocking ‘the princes of the Church’, placed there by the old regime. These were all the corrupt careerists, freemasons, thieves and sadists, who had humiliated and persecuted faithful priests and people, the sexually disturbed narcissists, intellectuals, homosexuals, pedophiles and psychopaths who hated married priests, women and children. Then Patriarch Petros and his Synod abandoned the fake ‘Church’ in the Ukraine, which had been known as the OCU, and told them to join the canonical Church. It then decided to recognise and concelebrate with the Patriarchate of New Jerusalem and all 20 Autocephalous Churches, including the four new ones.

Finally, all agreed to establish a new Autocephalous Church for Oceania, also giving its parishes in Northern America to the NAOC, giving up parishes in South America, and those in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, to the Patriarchate of Antioch, and those in Western Europe and in Hungary to the Patriarchate of Romania, where new Local Churches would be established.

Alexandria, Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th June

After the resignation of the previous Patriarch, Bishop Moses was elected Patriarch of the Patriarchate of Alexandria. Born in Uganda, he is the first black Patriarch of Africa. The first act of the Patriarch and his Synod was to cleanse the Church by refrocking those who had been defrocked for political reasons and defrocking ‘the princes of the Church’, placed there by the old regime. These were all the corrupt careerists, freemasons, thieves and sadists, who had humiliated and persecuted faithful priests and people, the sexually disturbed narcissists, intellectuals, homosexuals, pedophiles and psychopaths who hated married priests, women and children. He replaced all these with black African bishops. Then Patriarch Moses decided to move his administration to Nairobi, the Church keeping its ancient title as the Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa.

A number of Greek, Cypriot and Russian bishops were appointed to continue to serve in the Patriarchate as consultants. However, the Church is now dominated by African bishops, selected from the local clergy, who are spread out all over the African Continent. A plan has been drawn up to greatly expand their numbers, which is vital to the Africa-wide spread of the Church.

Cisinau, Thursday 9th and Friday 10th June

The Moldovan President greeted Patriarch Pavel of Moscow, Patriarch Daniel of Bucharest, their delegations, and both Metropolitans of the two still separate parts of the Moldovan Church. As nationwide democratic referenda had already been organised on self-determination, the results were announced. Apart from Transnistria in the far east, Gagauzia in the far south and a small area in the far north, which all transferred to Russia, over 80% of Moldovans had voted to join the Republic of Romania, their new region to be called the Autonomous Republic of Bessarabia. Following this decision, Orthodox in Bessarabia joined the Autonomous Bessarabian Metropolia under the Church of Romania. Patriarch Daniel accepted this and agreed to lead the formation of a Western European Orthodox Church and also a Local Church of Carpatho-Rus and Hungary.

In return, Patriarch Daniel ceded Romanian Orthodox parishes in Northern America to the NAOC, the few parishes in Latin America, and the few in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean to the two new Churches to be organised there by the Patriarchate of Antioch, and those in Oceania to the new Church to be organised there by the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

Bucharest, Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th June, the Great Council and Pentecost

At the new Cathedral of National Salvation in Bucharest, the largest Orthodox Cathedral in the world, all the leaders of the Local Churches held the Great Council of the whole Orthodox Church. There Patriarch Petros announced that his Patriarchal administrative centre would move to Thessaloniki, as the Church of Greece, centred in Athens, was merging with the Patriarchate after the uncanonical British-enforced separation of Greece some 200 years before. Thus, the episcopate of the old Church of Greece joined the renewed and cleansed Patriarchate of Constantinople and All Greece. The Church of Cyprus was represented by its new head, after the resignation in Nicosia of the old Archbishop of Cyprus. The Patriarch of Jerusalem announced a renewed episcopate, dominated by several Palestinian bishops and a Russian and a Romanian bishop.

In this way the Diptychs of the Church were renewed, listing 24 Local Churches in all, nine new. Thus, after the Great Council, on that great day of the Feast, the Feast of Pentecost, Sunday 12th June, all 24 Patriarchs, Metropolitans and Archbishops of the 24 Local Churches, old and new, concelebrated in the Cathedral for the first time: of Constantinople, New Rome and All Greece, of Alexandria and All Africa, of Antioch and All the East, of Jerusalem and All Palestine, of Georgia, of New Jerusalem and All Russia, of Serbia, of Romania and All Bessarabia, of Bulgaria, of Cyprus, of Albania, of Poland, of the Czech Lands and Slovakia, of Northern America, of Macedonia, of Kievska Rus, of Belarus, of the Baltics, of Central Asia, of Western Europe, of Carpatho-Rus and All Hungary, of South America, of Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, and of Oceania.

 

The Madness of King Donald and the World Responsibility of Orthodoxy

The War for the Liberation of West Asia and the Ending of Western Domination

It seems that every 250 years, the people of the USA need to gain the courage to choose a Constitutional People’s Republic against an Oligarchic Autocratic Empire, led by some narcissistic, megalomaniac Napoleon. Having lost its Empire in North Asia (Russia), despite arming to the teeth its proxy in the Ukraine, East Asia (China), despite its armed and occupied proxies in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Taiwan, South Asia (India), despite inferiority complexed traitors inside India, and Central Asia, despite CIA bribes of corrupt locals, the US elite is still desperately trying to hold on to its last foothold, West Asia (Iran), despite its overarmed and subsidised Israeli proxy.

The only bases that the USA has ever held in Asia have been on its fringes, on islands, coastal strips and peninsulas: Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, Israel, the UK and the North-Western Peninsula of Asia, called Western Europe. It lost everywhere else, in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and Central Asia. Now the Western world is being pushed out of West Asia (‘the Middle East’ in its ethnocentric vocabulary). The feudal and corrupt Gulf tyrannies such as Shia Bahrein and Qatar, the puppets of the Western world, and the hated CIA puppet regime in Pakistan, which imprisoned its real leader, are set to fall and their Shia peoples are set to be liberated from persecution.

A wave of regional war has been unleashed by the USA by murdering the elderly and ill Shia leader Ali Khamenei, who wanted to die as a martyr. An erudite peacemaker who forbade nuclear weapons, he was in everything the opposite of the Western leader, Trump, who rejects international law and obeys only his Epstein conscience, supported by his vassals in the Western world. Having murdered 165 Iranian girls in a primary school, Trump has unleashed a war without end. He spreads his anti-BRICS tentacles from the Arctic to the Ukraine and now to Iran, in order to cut off the north-south trade corridor from Russia to Iran and the new east-west silk road of China.

The Iranians may have killed the sabbath-breaking Netanyahu (real name Mileikowsky), who was/is wanted by the International Criminal Court for genocidal war crimes. They have also attacked and damaged Trump’s real estate interests in the Gulf, as well as downing at least three US planes, attacking US ships and attacking Gulf hotels occupied by US troops. This long war, and it will be long, could end the Pan-Western settler State Israel and the end of pro-Western despots in the Gulf, in the Jordan and Syria. Here a terrorist regime has been installed by the USA. This may also be the end of the Western European trio, Merz, Starmer and Macron, who are so hated by their peoples.

Will two million Chinese troops be sent to Mesopotamia, hurrying to aid Iran via the new railway from China to West Asia? We do not know. Washington thought that this war was the solution to the chronic and exploding US debt crisis and a distraction to Epstein. It is not. It merely hastens the end of the millennial ‘Globalist’ tyranny of the West over the Rest. Now all refuse to negotiate with the backstabbers from the White House, since they even backstabbed, again, amid peace talks. The corrupt 20% of the West who form the Zionist Epstein class faces its nemesis. The Western peoples now glimpse freedom on the horizon. But at what cost will that freedom come?

For the moment, the family of the Israeli leader have fled, as has the family of the Ukrainian leader. Now that the delusional Trump, who believed in his own propaganda, is losing against Iran, ships, planes and bases destroyed or damaged, he is pleading for peace, but he has opened a Pandora’s Box. Peace will not come, as Iran wants to cleanse West Asia of the Empire’s proxies. One third of Trump’s Navy and his Air Force face obliteration, though no doubt at great cost to Iran. But the USA faces ejection back to Northern America and Western Europe at last faces the humbled reality that it is just another part of the world. The clock is turning back 250 years from 2026 to 1776.

The whole Muslim world, nearly one in four people on the planet, has been incensed by the full-scale, unprovoked Israeli-US attack on Iran and their assassination of its spiritual leader. The missiles aimed at Iran – they dare not bomb it, Western warplanes would be shot down – have sparked a firestorm. That has further discredited and bankrupted the whole Epstein ruling class of the Western world, together with its religions, Zionist Protestantism, based on the Hebrew Old Testament, and Imperialist Papism, based on Western barbarianism. Therefore, the future of the Church and authentic Christianity now depends on the Orthodox Church, which is only a tenth of the size of Islam. That is a terrifying responsibility, but there is nothing new in this.

 

Half a Century in the Orthodox Church in Western Europe (2)

Fleeing the Extremes

The first Christian Emperor was called Constantine. The last Orthodox Emperor was called Nicholas. He was overthrown in the so-called 1917 Revolution, that is, in the palace coup of the aristocratic traitors to the Tsar, orchestrated by the British ruling class. As a result, all the Orthodox Churches, which the Tsar had protected when still in power lost their protector and were called either to martyrdom or else to confessordom. Once infiltrated, the Churches had to resist either the CIA, by confessordom, or else of the KGB, by martyrdom and their earlier equivalents. (Earlier they had had different names, but they were still engaged in the same intrigues). Our balancing act has meant avoiding both these extremes. In our context this has not yet meant becoming martyrs, but it has meant becoming confessors.

Combating the extremes has on the one hand meant avoiding and combating globalism, liberalism, modernism, freemasonry and Vatican-style perversions and, on the other hand, avoiding and combating sectarianism, phariseeism, hateful censoriousness, political ultra-conservatism and Old Ritualist style obscurantism. Both extremes are marked by anti-Christian ‘bishops’, who are in fact thieves, homosexuals and pedophiles. Thus, we fought against the influence of the liberal modernists in the Orthodox Churches in the 1970s and 1980s and then against the sectarian pharisees in the Orthodox Churches in the 1990s and 2000s, until Russian Church unity was achieved in 2007. This was a victory over both extremes, a miracle. But the devil does not like miracles and those who announce that God is Love.

The devil attacked the Greek Church of Constantinople through nationalist racism, called ‘phyletism’ in Greek. However, he attacked the Russian Church, replacing faith and piety with the negativity of nationalist politics, which led to State-orchestrated ritualism, rigid militarism with its blind obedience and harsh punishments, instead of integrity. Professional choirs assured that everything was provided and the people were made passive, without responsibility. From there it was only one step to anti-clericalism. As they say in Russian, ‘mnogo popov, malo batjushek’, ‘there are many fake priests, but few real ones’. And so in the Russian Church, persecution always comes from the bishops. Thus, the Russian Church isolated itself and fell out of communion and catholicity with the 15 other Local Orthodox Churches.

The USA

Thus, our 2007 victory was to give us only temporary respite, a decade of peace. The programme of Americanisation, or more precisely of Trumpisation, of the American Synod of the Russian Church, known as ROCOR, began in 2017. It sent out its US agents to the still ‘unreformed’ (= normal and traditional) parts of ROCOR in Western Europe and Australia to transform these too into ignorant and arrogant convert crazy zones, like themselves, who yearned to create a rigid and ritualistic sect. This all coincided, and not coincidentally, with President Trump’s first term of belligerent Americanism and also with the second phase of the infiltration of ROCOR by the CIA. The latter activated its sleeping agents in the American Synod and recruited new ones, sending them out worldwide to what is an ecclesiastical NGO.

The Age of Trump also coincided with the consequences of the earlier activities of the notorious Mossad agents, Maxwell and Epstein, who worked hand in hand for the greater glory of worldwide Zionism. Epstein was before his murder the model psychopath: charming, superficially brilliant, very manipulative, narcissistic, a pathological liar, with no sense of empathy, a ruthless pervert and a cynical egomaniac. His psychopathic spirit became the standard for the Age and for the CIA agents in question. So much for the psychopathic narcissists of the USA and its Epstein regime. What of the other half of the Western world, Europe and the UK? Here we have not narcissistic psychopathy, but the creeping power grab of centralising Sovietisation, the old megalomaniac temptations of power and money.

Europe and the UK

Immediately after the fall of the SU (Soviet Union) at the end of 1991, the EU (European Union) was founded. The demons behind the former Union had simply fled westwards to an easier prey, the new Gadarene swine of Western Europe. Russia was no longer attractive, as it cast off the yoke of compulsory atheism. Thus, with the Treaty of Maastricht, signed in 1992, the EU became a geopolitical project. Instead of a trading community, it had become the political wing of militaristic NATO. The creeping centralising Sovietisation and Epsteinisation of the EU, obvious in its practices, was also clear in its vocabulary. Thus, the (European) Council is the translation of ‘Soviet’, the EU Commissioners mirror Soviet Commissars, the oligarchy mirrors the nomenklatura and the ‘narrative’ mirrors ‘the Party line’. SU = EU.

As for England, it continued on its historic cycle. In 597 it was converted to Christ from that Old Rome, which still openly condemned universal pretensions. In 1066 it was converted to barbarianism from Norman France, sponsored by the ideology of the new schismatic and ‘universal’ Rome, which stifled Christ with the Pope and England with Britain. In 1535 it was converted to anti-sacramentalism from Luther’s neo-pagan Germany. In 2004 it was converted to imperial delusions from Nazi Ukraine and its orange revolution. The cycle is repeated every 469 years. Today, the British Establishment is trying to revive its long-lost past glory, which was not glory, but shame. This imperialism is repeated all through the ex-imperialist Western European ruling class, nostalgic for its delusions of greatness.

The Collapse of Kiev Creates Regime Changes in the USA, Europe and the UK

What the ruling elites in both the EU and the UK have not understood is that all unions break up. The Soviet Union, the USSR, broke up. So did Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and now the Ukraine, so will Belgium, the EU, the UK, and quite possibly the US. The Four Nations of Britain and a reunited Ireland can work together, not in a Union or a Federation (which is a half-way house from a Union, as is the semi-Soviet Russian Federation), but in a Sovereign Confederation, the Ionan Confederation, IONA, the ‘Isles of the North Atlantic’. England must yet depose the British monarchs who have ruled it for so long, invited by the merchant-oligarchs of the City of London from Germany to become an Imperial House, but the Imperial Age is long over and so are they. A new Sovereign England must restore its own English Royal House.

As for the EU and the UK, they are entirely dependent on the black hole of the Kiev regime. They have bet everything on that loser, playing at the casino wheel of geopolitics, without knowledge and understanding, but with a fanatical and blinding, ever-expanding ideology of European unionism. But every time that Europe falls to union, and it is always a fall, whether under Napoleon, or Hitler, or the EU, it then sets about attacking Russia. ‘Europe’ always attacks European Russia, because Russia does not conform to the morally and financially bankrupt ideological narrative of the Eurocommissars. This is why they do not want peace. War is their self-justification, as only war gives them a unifying purpose. However, the Russian Federation frustrates them immensely, for it is playing the long game against the Kiev regime.

Moscow’s methodical advance by attrition, metre by metre, keeping its losses very low, is because it is awaiting the political collapse of Kiev, which will precede its military collapse. (This was why Germany, Britain and France, as Japan had tried in 1904-5, first brought about Russian political collapse in 1917, since political collapse always precedes military collapse). When political Kiev collapses, its army will have nothing left to fight for. Then, Russia will take over most of the old Soviet Ukraine at little cost, allowing Poland, Romania, Hungary and perhaps Slovakia to take back the far western fragments of Stalin’s Ukraine which used to belong to them, as they wish. And then there will be regime change, not in Moscow, but, ironically, in peace-hating Washington, London, Berlin, Paris and wherever Kiev Fascism was supported.
