Meanwhile, in Alaska…

‘The circus left town, but the clowns stayed on’.

Russian saying

The US war against Russia continues in the Ukraine, although the CIA has at various points also tried extending it to the Baltics, Georgia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Azerbaijan. President Trump’s bullying threats of illegal secondary tariff-sanctions against those who buy Russian oil, thus against India, although only against India’s gem and diamond industry (he had, as usual, completely misjudged the situation, thinking that India would be a soft touch), and also against Brazil and China, all failed. (Strangely, he did not threaten Europe, which hypocritically buys large amounts of Russian oil from India). In return, India has cancelled its order for further second-rate US warplanes, which Pakistan’s Chinese warplanes easily shot down; China can at any moment withhold its rare earths; Brazil is largely economically independent anyway.

As for his threats to Russia, the latter openly mocks them, as the 30,000 anti-Russian Western sanctions have only made Russia stronger. Trump’s war against BRICS, which is what all this is, has only consolidated its member-nations – the vast majority of the world – against the weaponisation of the dollar and against illegal US sanctions. So, like all bullies who are faced with those who are stronger than himself, Trump cancelled all his threats with excuses, leaving Kiev, whose leader ‘kills everybody’ (as Trump describes him) and the Western European elite in panic. So President Trump sent his real-estate agent envoy Witkoff to Moscow to sue for peace, cap in hand, and beg for a personal meeting with President Putin. Russia holds, as Trump would say in his poker mind, all the cards.

As Trump’s policies are destroying the US economy, his war against Iran failed, the Israeli Gaza genocide and the compromising Mossad/Epstein/Maxwell files hang over him, and Russia is victorious in the routed Ukraine, he is in urgent need of some PR victory. He needs to regain the lost support of his MAGA base. So why not hold a photo opportunity-meeting with the Russian leader? This will take place on 15 August, the feast-day of St Herman of Alaska and the 80th anniversary of the joint US/Soviet victory over Japan. It will be in what used to be called ‘Russian America’, known as Alaska, though Trump still calls it Russia. After secret Russo-American talks, the meeting was carefully prepared there by RF Kennedy a week before it was publicly announced.

The bankrupt US elite has no more money (37 trillion of debt) or any more obsolete arms to send to Kiev. The equally bankrupt Kiev/EU/UK elites are desperate, but there is nothing they can do either, except to continue to lie. Their favourite lie is that all that Russia wants from the Ukraine is some extra land. How absurd for what is by far the largest country and one of the least populated in the world! The war in the Ukraine had only one cause – the expansion of NATO to the east, when the US had time and again promised ‘not another inch to the east’.

In any case, Western arms are ineffective against the more advanced and far more plentiful Russian technology and are greatly depleted anyway. Moreover, disaffected Western peoples are opposed to their elite’s infantile militarism, and their astronomically expensive support for the bandit regime in Kiev (as also for the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv). This is all unacceptable in Western countries whose basic infrastructure is crumbling into third world status. Clearly, when Moscow, on the verge of military victory in the Ukraine, refuses to make any concessions in Alaska, as winning sides do not make concessions, Trump will be left with the ‘offramp’ or exit strategy (escape-route) that he really wants.

This is to walk away from the Kiev regime, stating as his reason the blindingly obvious, that Kiev, which depends on the war and its money to remain in power, does not want peace. This will leave the old Soviet and new Nazi Ukraine to the fate that its leadership has chosen for it, to disappear from the map. Once he has walked away from Kiev, he will claim that he is not responsible for the Western rout and blame it on Biden and the European dictatorships of Starmer, Macron and Merz. He will remain unstained, unlike Biden who was stained by the US rout in Afghanistan. And then Trump will be able to quit NATO, which is what he ultimately wants.

Perhaps, however, the US and Russia will at last come to an agreement about the new Eurasian Security Architecture, meaning a US retreat from its bankruptingly expensive arms spending. The US can leave the Ukraine to Russia on condition that all other national borders in Europe are guaranteed. This will give Trump the chance to grandstand as the great peacemaker and say he has ended the war and brought peace to Europe. True, winning the war will leave the military winner Russia, as the ultra-cautious Russian lawyer-President knows, to win the peace.

But that will be another story, which will also entail radical changes in the over-centralised, bureaucratic and so politically failed policies of the Russian Church, as well as the abolition of the absurd and $20 million CIA gangster fantasy of the ‘Orthodox Church in the Ukraine’. The time of reckoning is coming for all. It is all recorded in the Book of Life.

 

 

Church and State: Lessons from History for the Present Day

This is the Ukrainian Orthodox Viewpoint ( from the Society of Orthodox Journalists), which most Russian Orthodox also probably agree with. It begs the question as to why the once multinational Orthodox Church of All Rus, including the once free ROCOR Synod in New York which used to resist Sergianism (erastianism), has become dominated by Russian nationalist politicians, instead of Orthodox Christians, theologians and pastors. Nationalism is not the Church, but schismatic!

Author: Nazar Golovko

In the history of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Church often co-operated too closely with the State.

From Peter’s reforms to the Revolution of 1917: how state dependence affected the Russian Church – and what lessons the UOC should draw from this today.

Many today wonder: how could it happen that the devout Orthodox people, the “God-bearing nation” as Dostoevsky called them, suddenly rose up against their Church after the 1917 revolution? How could those who once went to their deaths “for Faith, Tsar, and Fatherland” destroy the faith, kill the Tsar, and tear down that very Fatherland?

Indeed, what happened after 1917 defies human logic. Tens of thousands of churches were closed or wiped off the face of the earth, thousands of monasteries and sketes were destroyed, hundreds of thousands of believers were executed, thousands of priests and hundreds of bishops were murdered, and millions were buried alive behind the barbed wire of the Gulag.

How could this happen? And, more importantly – why?

To answer this question – which remains deeply relevant today – we must turn to history.

When the Church ceases to be the Body of Christ

As early as the era of Peter I, the religious life of the Russian Church was subjected to harsh and merciless criticism. On one hand, the Church was attacked for excessive attention to outward ritual forms; on the other, it had fallen under overwhelming state control. Ivan Aksakov, a Slavophile and patriot well-versed in Church affairs, once wrote:

“Thus, in terms of administration, the Church now appears as a kind of colossal bureaucracy, applying – with the inevitable, alas, official bureaucratic falsehood – the methods of German bureaucracy to the salvation of Christ’s flock… Apparently, all the Church has been granted is outward order – a semblance of proper organization…

But one trifling thing is missing: the soul is gone. The ideal has been replaced – the Church’s ideal has been supplanted by a state ideal, inner truth replaced by formal, external correctness. A new measure has been substituted for the old – a governmental measure instead of a spiritual and moral one. Everything is now weighed and measured on the State’s official scale…

The worldview of the state has, like a subtle vapor, imperceptibly seeped into the mind and soul of nearly the entire ecclesiastical environment, with few exceptions, narrowing its understanding to the point where the living sense of the Church’s true mission has become barely accessible. Nowhere is truth so feared as in our Church administration; nowhere is there such flattery as among our hierarchy; nowhere is the spirit of Pharisaism so strong as among those who ought to hate falsehood the most.”

The Church and the Authorities: harm or benefit?

Indeed, it’s hard to deny that the Church of that era had surrendered itself to imperial will. For example, Peter I’s decree of April 22, 1722, required every cleric (including bishops) upon entering holy office to swear an oath “to be a faithful, good, and obedient servant and subject to the emperor and his lawful heirs,” to defend the emperor’s rights and dignity, “not sparing even their own life if necessary,” and to report any damage or threat to imperial interests – including “theft, treason, or rebellion revealed in confession,” as well as “any evil designs against the Tsar’s honour, health, or family.”

In other words, the secular authorities demanded that Orthodox clergy violate a foundational canonical rule: the inviolability of the sacramental confession. In effect, the Church became a mere “Department of Spiritual Affairs,” heavily influenced by the Chief Procurator of the Holy Synod – a layman appointed by the Tsar.

As a result:

The Church in Russia was perceived as an extension of the state. And if the people’s hatred was directed at the state, the Church was inevitably caught in that hatred too – a sentiment that had been simmering long before 1917.

Prince Ivan Gagarin, who converted to Catholicism, wrote: “The Russian Church needs independence; it senses this itself.”

Understanding that the Church in Russia was inextricably tied to autocracy, Gagarin believed that an attack on the Tsar would inevitably strike the Church as well. Moreover, he saw the deepening schism with the Old Believers as another wellspring of discontent with autocratic rule. In his eyes, Catholicism could save Russia – because it had the spiritual freedom the Russian Church lacked. He famously wrote:

“Let us repeat: it is one or the other – Catholicism or revolution. The Russian Church is powerless; the Tsarist regime may only delay the explosion. The union of the schismatics with revolutionary movements becomes more and more inevitable. There is no time to lose. I see no other way to avert this threat than a national Russian-Catholic clergy.”

Thus, Gagarin understood that the Russian Church – having bound itself so tightly to the state – lacked the strength to confront the revolutionary currents rising among the Old Believers and even within the lower clergy.

Church and Revolution

Here is just a short list of well-known revolutionaries who came from clergy families:

  • Nikolai Chernyshevsky (1828–1889), a major theorist of Russian revolution, son of a priest in the Saratov Eparchy; educated in a religious school and seminary.
  • Sergei Nechaev (1847–1882), organizer of the underground group “People’s Retribution” and a symbol of fanatical revolution; son of a deacon from Nizhny Novgorod province.
  • Nikolai Kibalchich (1853–1881), member of “Narodnaya Volya” and chief designer of the bomb that killed Alexander II; son of a priest in the Chernihiv Diocese.
  • Mikhail Novomirsky (Tikhomirov) (1850–1884), activist of “Narodnaya Volya”; son of a priest.
  • Alexander Mikhailov (1855–1884), one of the leaders of “Narodnaya Volya” and its Executive Committee; son of a rural priest.
  • Vladimir Ulyanov (Lenin) – came from a clerical estate.

Besides, let us not forget the failed seminarian Stalin.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of names of priest’s children who became revolutionaries. And many of them did not merely sympathize with revolutionary causes – they actively took part in terror and assassinations.

Why?

Because they saw the hypocrisy and servility that had become entrenched in the lives of their fathers.

Because they understood: the Church, subordinated to the state, had ceased to be a spiritual mother and had become a cog in the bureaucratic machine. And if that machine needed to be destroyed – so did its parts.

A Fatal Union

Thus, the revolution in Russia was not just a popular uprising. It was, in many ways, the outcome of an unhappy marriage between Church and state. A Church bound hand and foot by the government was unable to serve as the voice of conscience. In the end, it remained silent – or even offered its blessing – as the old order was dismantled.

For example, on March 5, 1917, just two days after Tsar Nicholas II’s abdication, the Holy Synod declared:

“The Holy Church of Christ greets the recent events as a mercy of God upon our people… May the Lord bless the Provisional Government and grant it strength to perform the work of serving the people.”

As a result, those forces that destroyed the Tsar turned their wrath on the Church as well. And the reason is clear: when the Church becomes part of the state, people see it as a target – not as the Body of Christ.

What about today?

Yes, the current situation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church seems unbearably difficult to many of us. We are forbidden to pray as our ancestors did for centuries. Our churches are being taken away. The authorities are doing everything in their power to erase the UOC from Ukraine’s religious landscape.

But—

Perhaps this is, in fact, a blessing from God. A blessing that the Church should be free from all state dependence, so that it may possess the inner liberty necessary to fulfill its true mission – the preaching of the Gospel.

It may seem that without the “roof” of state protection or official patronage, the Church is weak and exposed. But maybe this is precisely the path Christianity calls us to walk – not to please power, but to serve the people.

And perhaps, painful as it is, a Church free from State dependence is walking a blessed path.

 

Three World Wars For Nothing?

‘It’s not peace, but a twenty-year long truce’.

Prediction of Georges Clemenceau, Prime Minister of France, about the Versailles Peace Treaty in 1919

‘If we aim at the impoverishment of Central Europe, vengeance, I dare say, will not limp. Nothing can then delay for very long the forces of Reaction and the despairing convulsions of Revolution, before which the horrors of the later German war will fade into nothing, and which will destroy, whoever is victor, the civilisation and the progress of our generation’.

Prediction in the book The Economic Consequences of the Peace by John Maynard Keynes, about the Versailles Peace Treaty in 1919

Introduction: Lives Destroyed By Futile Wars

I was brought up in a world shaped by the results of two World Wars. The lives of my parents, uncles and aunts (the men fought, several of the women, one was a victim of the London Blitz, were spinsters – there were too few men left to marry) had all been deeply affected by the Second World War, those of my grandparents, great-uncles and great-aunts (soldiers and spinsters) deeply affected by the First World War. They talked of little else, as their once peaceful and settled lives had been disfigured by the Wars. As for me I was born in the year of the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt, when the USA planted the last nail into the coffin of the British Empire, and Soviet tanks entered oppressed Budapest. Looking back today, as once more the Western world is at war against Russia, I cannot help seeing the continuity of these wars. However, I also see their futility, as they merely put off the inevitable rise of Russia, even though it repeatedly attempted suicide in its history in movements of spiritual apostasy.

Three ‘World’ Wars To Destroy Russia

We use the term ‘World Wars’ to describe the global disasters that were in fact European Wars, or more precisely Wars for the control of Russia. Thus, the First World War (1914-18) began after the Austrian annexation of Bosnia, the Second World War (1939-1945) began after the German annexation of Poland, and what I here call the Third World War (2022-2025?) began after the Western annexation of the Soviet Ukraine. All these wars were in reality the attempts by the ruling classes of Austro-Hungary and its allies, Germany and its allies, and the USA and its European vassals, respectively, to gain control of the territory (‘Lebensraum’) and natural resources of the Eastern half of Europe (from the Soviet-fixed borders of the Ukraine to the Volga, Stalingrad and Astrakhan). All have essentially been wars directed against the three different Russias, Imperial Russia, the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation, caused by the desire of the Western world to exploit and plunder its wealthy neighbour, which occupies the Eastern half of Geographical Europe and all Siberia as far as the Pacific.

Moreover, all these wars were underpinned and propagandised by a racist ideology which believes that Western Europeans, the Germanic and Latin, so-called ‘Aryan’, peoples, are racially superior to all others. This infers the racial inferiority of Slavs (Serbs/Poles/Russians etc), Jews, Gypsies etc to Western Europeans and their white descendants in the USA, Australia, Canada and elsewhere. In the Second World War this ideology came to be called ‘Nazism’, though its racist nature was already apparent in the First World War, but not by that name. Nazism conquered or subdued all of Western Europe in the Second War. In the Third World War all the Western countries, once more deployed against Russia, sometimes openly share this same ideology. It is most obvious with the SS-inspired armed forces in what is the Soviet Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, but also in the EU, where many of the main unelected Eurocrats and representatives like von der Leyen, Kallas, Baerbock or Metreweli, the head of the foreign spy service of the UK, are the grandchildren of Nazis.

This myth of racial superiority has been a constant throughout the last millennium of Western European history. The Russians first experienced it in a letter from Pope Hildebrand (Gregory VII) sent to Yaroslav of Russia in 1075, demanding submission. Next came the Russian defeat of the invading Teutonic Knights in 1242. It is precisely this hubristic conviction of superiority which lies behind the continual defeats of the West. These defeats, Napoleon’s, Hitler’s and Trump’s, all come from underestimating Russian realities. Thus, Russia is ‘only a regional power showing weakness’ (Obama, 2014) or ‘a gas station masquerading as a country’ (McCain, 2015). Its losses, according to Western propagandists, are ten times its real losses and ‘it has no more missiles, tanks, bombs, shells or troops’, who are being sent to Ukrainian lines ‘to die in human waves’. These people live in Hollywood and have grown accustomed to believing their own lies. The lies are written by Western PR scriptwriters, exaggerated by the Kiev Ministry of Propaganda, and then believed by stupid politicians.

The First War is called a World War only because it involved British colonial troops mainly from the Indian subcontinent and the Caribbean, as well as Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and then Americans, and French colonial troops mainly from Africa, and also involved skirmishes with German colonial troops in Africa. The Second War is called a World War only because it also involved the same colonial troops as well as American troops and took place in the Anglo-German battle for the control of oil in the Middle East and the war of the USA and the UK against Japan for control of the Pacific. And the Third War can be called a World War only because it indirectly involves BRICS, notably China, India, Iran and North Korea, and its other supporters in ‘the Global South’ of Africa, Asia and Latin America. This is the first War in which the West is isolated and in a tiny and technologically weaker minority, it is the 10% against the 90%. Therefore, it has always been clear who will eventually win and clear that the West was made foolish by hubris to fantasise that it could win.

In other words, all these Wars began in Eastern Europe and involved failed invasions of Russia, which Western Europe wanted to take over and exploit. This had already been rehearsed before them in 1812 under Napoleon with his collective, multinational invasion of Russia by ‘the French and the twelve tribes’. (However, others like the Poles and the Swedes had tried and failed even before him and the Anglo-French had tried again in 1853-56). Thus, it can be said that all three World Wars were ‘Napoleonic’, that is, failed Pan-Western attempts to destroy Russia. Napoleon, Nazi and NATO – those three even begin with the same two letters. All of them had been prepared, for tensions between the European Powers had been brewing for years, especially in the Far East (1904-05) and the Balkans from 1908 on. And Germany had been preparing for war under Hitler since 1933. As regards today’s war, it began with the overthrow in Kiev in 2014, followed by covid (a US bio-war virus, backfired on it and its allies) and the threatened genocide by the Kiev puppet regime of Eastern Ukraine.

This full-scale physical and cultural genocide of Eastern Ukrainians, already prepared on a low level (nearly 15,000 men, women and children murdered in the Donbass, as well as in Kiev and Odessa) between 2014 and early 2022, had been programmed by NATO, of which the separatist Kiev regime was already a de facto member, for March 2022. This threat provoked the initially small-scale Russian intervention in February 2022 there, in what until 1922, exactly a century before, had been part of Russia. Once the Western Powers forbade their puppet-regime in Kiev to sue for peace with Russia in March-April 2022 under its envoy Johnson, this developed into a full-scale war against Russia by the Kiev regime proxies, Western-trained, Western-supplied, Western-informed, Western-armed, Western-biolabbed, and Western-financed. It is this Russian war to deSovietise the Soviet-established Ukraine which continues today, three and a half years later, with Russia and the BRICS world victorious. Western leaders officially deny it because on admission they would have to resign.

After The Three World Wars

Our question is what would have happened if the three interdependent World Wars, in fact Anti-Russian Wars I, II and III (like the preparatory Anglo-American-financed anti-Russian War, launched by their Japanese proxy in 1904) had not taken place. Would the situation of the world be any different today from it would have been without those Wars? Of course, no definitive answer can be given to this question – we shall never know, because the three World Wars did take place, with their fifty million and more dead in Europe alone. However, we can make some striking observations.

Inside Europe, in 1914 Germany dominated Western Europe economically, technologically and militarily, not only because of its heavy industry with iron and steel, but also through its advanced engineering, chemical, electrical and automotive industries. But this was exactly the situation at least until 2022. Then began the deindustrialisation of Germany, enforced by the US cutting off its energy supplies from Russia, and the end of a Germany which had been the engine of the EU, the heart of the EU economy.

In 1914 France played a secondary role in Western Europe, albeit a jealous, petulant and resentful role, as a result of its defeat at German hands in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. This is the role it still plays in Western Europe today. In 1914 the Imperialist British ruling class looked to its role overseas, outside Europe, especially to the USA and India. This is the role it still plays today, though today the roles have been reversed. The UK, its snobbish and arrogant, fantasy-driven ruling class, stuck in the past, paradoxically still not de-Imperialised, is in fact dependent on its former colonies, rather than they being dependent on the UK.

In 1914 Russia dominated Eurasia (Northern Asia, the vast area from Eastern Europe to China), as Tsar Nicholas had opened the Russian ‘Window on Asia’ by insisting on the completion of and inaugurating the Trans-Siberian railway. He considered that Siberia would be to European Russia what North America had been to Western Europe. In 1913 it was estimated by Edmond Thery, the French economist, that by 1950 Russia would ‘dominate Europe politically, economically and financially’. However, in 1914 there was the German-led War against the Russian Empire, a British-orchestrated Revolution through Russian traitors, Western invasions after 1917, a German-led invasion in 1941, murdering 27 million, and for several years after 1991 the plunder of the Russian Federation by the Western world, as a result of which millions died prematurely in mafia crime, starvation, suicide and alcoholism borne of despair.

Despite the present tragic, post-Soviet conflict, one of whose aims is to deSovietise the Soviet Ukraine and restore the real, historic Ukraine (Malorossija), the three generations wasted by Marxism meant that the Russian economy became the largest in Europe only in 2024, 74 years after the predicted 1950. And 74 years was exactly the period during which Russia was taken over by the idiotic Western ideology of Marxism (1917-1991), sent by Germany in the form of Lenin to contaminate the Russian Western-educated class, who also designed the absurd borders of the Soviet Ukraine. Nevertheless, by 2024 the Russian economy had at last become the largest economy in Europe, indeed the fourth largest in the world, just as it had already been in pre-Soviet, Imperial 1914. Thus, the Three World Wars had only delayed the inevitable and the development of the future deWesternised, but once more Imperial (but not Imperialist, as it is deWesternised) Russia.

Outside Europe, in 1914 the USA was trying to dominate Latin America (starting with its land-grab from Mexico in 1846), Hawaii (1893), the Caribbean (Cuba (1898)), the Philippines (1902), and the Pacific in general, in rivalry with Japan (1941-45). Nothing has changed, though its imperialist delusions of today, now embodied in the egomaniac Trump’s ‘Make Israel Great Again’ government, run by the fanatical Zionist Lindsey Graham, are ‘globalist’. This is the dream of planetary rule by infantile tantrum and protection racket bullying, salesman’s ultimatum and deadline. He is a man who deploys nuclear submarines because his social media comment was contradicted by a Russian politician! As for China and India, their role in 1914 was negligible, as they were then controlled by Western colonialism.  However, today they have returned to what they were before any Western colonisation, 300 years ago, becoming the greatest industrial powers in the world, China at No 1 and India at No 3, even according to distorted official Western PPP figures.

Conclusion: The New World Order

As a whole, the world is returning to the situation of before 1914, though only in the sense that the world then was multipolar, that is, it was being led by a concert of Great Powers, and not One Power. All that has changed is the names of the Great Powers. But perhaps they would have changed anyway, without all the bloodshed of Three ‘World’ Wars, of attacks to destroy Russia, which is what the EU foreign representative Kallas so ardently and publicly proclaims as her aim? (But then Kallas comes from a Nazi family). In so many respects these Wars form one continuous War, interrupted by long, but temporary ceasefires. Then the Great Powers were the now collapsed empires of Western Europe, together with Russia and the USA. Today there are the Four Great Powers of China, Russia, the USA and India, as well as countries from Latin America (Brazil), Africa (South Africa and Ethiopia) and the Muslim world (Indonesia and Iran). This is the New World Order which has already begun.

 

 

 

 

World War and Chaos, America’s Megalomania and Crises, Europe’s Depravity and Fragmentation

Introduction: Millennial Revolution

The world has always been torn by rivalries between nations setting up empires. But all empires collapse. Thus, the Roman Empire, based in pagan Rome, actually had to build a wall against unconquered Northern Britain and man borders in what is now Germany and the Middle East, and collapsed. Its imperial overreach meant that it was divided into two, even into four at one point, but still the Western part collapsed under the barbarians. In 1204 the same barbarians sacked the capital of the Christian Eastern part, New Rome, and that too then collapsed under the eastern barbarians, the Ottomans. The British Empire, which conquered a quarter of the world, collapsed too, broken by bankrupting imperial rivalries in Europe and outraged national feelings and consequent liberation movements in Ireland, India, Africa and elsewhere. So today the American Empire (1945-2025?), which wanted to conquer the whole planet according to its post-1991 ideology, is also collapsing under the weight of its own hubris and overreach. You cannot keep the peoples of the world under, they will revolt and throw off your alien yoke, shouting, ‘Yanks Go Home!’

Like its immediate predecessor, the British Empire, which it imitates in everything, the American Empire was never able to conquer Russia and China (though Britain tried very hard by invading Russia between 1854-1856 and orchestrating the 1917 ‘Revolution’, which only made problems worse for it, replacing Imperial Russia with Soviet Russia, and in China by stealing Hong Kong for 150 years. After 1991, become ‘the only Superpower’, the Washington elite dared plan its universal domination (‘hegemony’), the aim of the science fiction US imperialists, who had even planted the US flag on the moon. That elite decided to try and destroy all opposition in the Middle East, succeeding in Libya and Syria, but utterly failing in Iran. This was partly because they had already utterly failed in Russia, where it corrupted the soft underbelly of the treacherous and eminently bribable atheist elite of the Ukraine – though the US elite still has not accepted this obvious defeat there. As for China, knowing that it was next on the list, it fully supports both Russia and Iran, and is joined by 90% of the world, which is gradually uniting into the Russian-founded BRICS.

Some comment that with the humiliating defeat of the Western world in the Ukraine, the Western domination of the world is over, after 500 years, ever since Columbus’ voyage of piracy in 1492. Apart from the fact that 2025 is more than 500 years since 1492, that date in any case only symbolises Western expansion to the ‘West Indies’ and its genocide in the Caribbean. It ignores Western expansion and genocides long before this, those by Charlemagne, and then to Southern and Eastern Europe from the 1000s on, to Northern Europe from 1066 on, and to Asia in 1096 and North Africa soon after. In fact, the Western domination of the world is finished after 1,000 years. The preference for Russian values in what was the Marxist Ukraine signifies that the Western world can no longer impose itself by organised violence and exploitation, slavery and colonisation, bullying and superior technology, sanctions and tariffs, on the rest of the world. The West has isolated itself in a corner against the 90%, the vast majority of the Non-Western world, which rejects its perversions posing as ‘freedom’ and its oligarchy posing as ‘democracy’.

Trump

‘TACO (‘Trump always chickens out’) Trump’, with his absurd contradictions, much-mocked buffoonery, megalomaniac hubris, astounding ignorance and pathological narcissism is typical of all the emperors of collapsing empires. Like them, he is full of contradictions and never keeps his word. He promised peace in the Ukraine within twenty-four hours, even before he had been inaugurated, but six months later the conflict is ever more violent. The culprits are Trump’s overweening opinion of himself and his total ignorance of reality and of history, typical of a New York real estate agent. Indeed, instead of peace, Trump has sent the terrorist regime in the Ukraine more arms, sponsored Israel’s genocide against Gaza and its massacres on the West Bank, in the Lebanon and Syria, so far to the tune of $17 billion, even by official figures, with US aircraft, bombs, missiles and US-trained pilots. Thus, only two countries in the world refuse to recognise Palestine: Israel and the USA. On Israeli orders, Trump even started a treacherous war against Iran, while at the same time conducting peace talks with it. Even Biden had twice avoided that Zionist bait.

Trump continues his aggressive rhetoric against China, trying to make the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Australia into ever more Georgian-and Ukrainian-style proxies for the US. They too have to die for the USA ‘to the last Ukrainian’. His tariffs are not only against China – he has created worldwide chaos with tariffs, which can appear or disappear at will, as the fantasy-bound Trump comes under pressure from real-world economics. For some reason he appears to imagine that tariffs are a tax on other countries, whereas they are in fact an inflationary tax on impoverished US consumers. Living with his head in the US-dominated 1950s, he imagines that the USA can replace imports, not realising that the US has deindustrialised itself, its greedy investors industrialising East Asia, making itself dependent on other countries’ manufactures. In his six months of ‘reign’, the US has become an open dictatorship, with the silenced Congress and the Senate playing hardly any role. US debt has increased even more, growing by over $1 million every second, over $12 billion a day, over $360 billion a month. Multiply that by twelve and….

Trump soon lost the support of the debt-cutting and anti-woke Musk, who was loved by MAGA nationalists. Although Trump has proved that the Obama ‘Russiagate’ was a fake, which we all knew anyway, this has not distracted from the Epstein pedophile scandal, which was run by two pro-Israelis, Epstein and Maxwell. Trump’s cover-up here has betrayed his promises to his MAGA base. He looks increasingly like a depraved Roman Emperor, and as a result about Trump there are now the worst possible rumours, for he knew Maxwell (real name Hoch) and Epstein very well. For his one-time MAGA base, Trump is now part of the very swamp which he had promised to drain. Showing signs of mental confusion like the early Biden, many wonder if the 79 year-old Trump will last the course of the full four years of his term. Vance is waiting in the wings. He may be needed. At least he appears to have some grasp of reality, not least as regards the Ukraine. Some are now saying that this is the only hope, that Trump will be relieved of his duties because of his mental health. He is now being disowned by his most ardent supporters and former fans.

Europe

Meanwhile, Trump has largely forgotten about Europe, as he is preoccupied with the Middle East and, above all, with the country that has a greater economy than that of the US, China. And why should he remember Europe? Europe is no longer the centre of the world, as the European elite like Borrell still deludedly imagines it to be, ‘we are the garden and the rest are the jungle’. As a result, European panic is turning into hysteria. ‘How will we cope without the Americans and NATO? Why has Trump turned NATO into a 5% protection racket? Why has the Roman Emperor abandoned his favourite mistress’? Why? Because he is a ruthless real estate agent. The three generation-old NATO, 1949 – 2024, is ending. Hopefully, RIP, and that it will not finish in nuclear holocaust, as NATO with its ever-aggressive hysterical rhetoric threatens Russia with invasion. So we now see the fragmentation of Europe. The Germans talk about obtaining nuclear weapons – the Poles shudder. The UK signs a ‘defence treaty’ with Germany. Why, both are already in NATO? The ex-Catholic South of Europe refuses to do so. It has better things to spend its scarce money on.

The end of the US-created NATO also means the end of its economic arm, the US-created EU. Both have headquarters very close to each other in Brussels and work hand in hand. Yet Brexit has already taken place, others speak of Frexit, Dexit, Italexit etc. France is as usual upset by Germany. Germany used to be the economic engine of the EU and nuclear France the political and military engine of the EU. Now Germany is in recession and France’s military is a laughing stock, though not as big a laughing stock as its recent crop of incompetent Presidents. Whether they concern the EU or NATO, the divisions are profound. As for the UK, it probably has the weakest and most depleted military of all, with more admirals than ships, aircraft that are leased and do not fly anyway, and a rapidly disappearing army with only 40 working tanks, though it does have 500 horses. Belgium wants to buy useless US planes, which is what the US wants to sell to everyone, and so has upset France, which wants to sell its planes to its Belgian vassal. Italy and Spain are going their own way. Ireland is pro-Palestinian. Hungary and Slovakia block every anti-Russian decision. Unity?

What will happen to this fragmenting Europe? It is already dividing into three separate parts. Firstly, there is the hysterical and fanatical, mainly ex-Protestant, mainly North-West: the UK, Netherlands, Germany (but will AfD East Germany go along with this?), the three Scandinavians, Finland and the three Baltic statelets. Secondly, there is the supple and even Russia-flexible, mainly ex-Catholic, mainly South-West: Italy, Spain, Portugal, probably bankrupt France, once it is freed of its fantasy-President, and probably Poland, once it has signed a security treaty with Russia and given up its imperialist claims to Belarus. Thirdly, there is the half-Orthodox, traditional Catholic, Muslim and pragmatic South-East. They look eastwards to their neighbour, Russia, in the North-East, and beyond it to China. They want to be the terminus of the Chinese New Silk Road. This is the only way out for them, to forget the aggressive US and EU policy towards China and to reconcile with Russia. All this means integration into Eurasia, which is not just logical, but also beneficial. They are ready to forget the Ukraine, which they have only ever known as the worldwide hub for corruption.

Conclusion: A Non-Western World Order

Trump resembles a school bully. Having just threatened and bullied the cowardly pygmies of the EU into paying him protection money of 15% and promising to buy $600 billion of US arms, he has now gone to Russia, China, India, Brazil and India and threatened them too. However, he has not noticed that they are much bigger than him, Russia militarily and China economically, and all of them morally, intellectually, culturally and diplomatically. Moreover, he has not noticed either that the rest of the world stands behind them, not behind him, and they are mocking him as a clown. And for that matter he has not noticed either that a lot of ordinary Americans and a lot of ordinary people in Western Europe are accusing him of supporting the Israeli holocaust of the Palestinians and of hushing up the disgusting Epstein files, in which his name his mentioned. Nor does he seem to be aware that doubts have been cast about Macron’s ‘wife’, Starmer’s links with Ukrainian male prostitutes, Merz’s and Zelensky’s alleged use of cocaine and von der Leyen’s Nazi ancestry. Perhaps he should think twice before consorting with such people in the first place.

Trump’s concept of ‘negotiations’ with Russia is to continue to subsidise and arm the Ukraine, not to listen to, let alone understand, the Russian side, but to flatter them and then bully them, like some mafia gangster imposing a protection racket, operated by sanctions and tariffs: ‘Accept our terms or else’. The ‘or else’ means further bullying, which in his case is utterly futile, as Russia is stronger than the US, with far more raw materials, is the breadbasket of the world, has a much greater industrial base, and has far better and more advanced arms. Also, it is not bankrupt to the tune of $37 trillion of debt. It is becoming ever clearer that the three ‘World Wars’ (the Third One with its encirclement of Russia by US bases is now) were futile and just delayed the inevitable, which is that Russia, stretching from the borders of Poland via Belarus to the shores of the Pacific, twice the size of Canada, with the fourth largest economy in the world and the largest economy in Europe, is destined to dominate Europe economically, though without humiliating it, as did the Soviet Union, which was the invention of the failed ideology of Marxism, which was imposed on Russia by the West.

With Proxyland Ukraine gone and the Western world routed and isolated, because it has insulted, intimidated and argued with everyone else, the whole Western world has become an international laughing stock. With its NATO terrorism, bullying and threats mocked and gone, the whole world changes. To start with, the UN Security Council will be seen as a 1945 anachronism, which is what it is. It will surely come to have eight members: not just those of the three Great Powers, China, Russia and the USA, but also India, Brazil and members representing Africa, the Asian Muslim world and Western Europe. There will be no more anachronistic France and the UK. At last, the real world will be represented. China, India and Africa alone represent over half of the world’s population. Of course, the 54 countries of Africa, as well as the Asian Muslim world, from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan to Indonesia) and Western Europe, from Iceland to Cyprus, will have to negotiate to find adequate representatives. Beyond this, Western organisations, from the IMF to the IAEA, will be overtaken by BRICS, which is destined to replace the UN anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

When Will the Western Cultural Revolution End?

Most have heard of the Russian (Cultural) Revolution, imposed in 1917 by utterly incompetent generals and aristocrats, who overthrew the Tsar as they wanted power for themselves. Within a few months they had opened the doors to the Bolshevik Communist regime, which was mainly led by Non-Russians and indeed Anti-Russians. It was a suicidal act, which led to several million deaths and tried to annihilate the whole of Russian history and culture. It is difficult to say when the hysteria ended. Some would say 1941, when the Nazis invaded the USSR, others say two generations later with the self-destruction of the USSR in 1991. Yet others would say that the end has still not come. This will come only with a new Tsar, who will appear after the death of President Putin and restore what Communism destroyed and what had already been shaken before 1917.

Most have heard of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. It was imposed by Mao Zedong and his Maoist Chinese Communist Party for ten years from 1966 to 1976. Its aim was to destroy anything pre-Communist in China, from Buddhism and Confucianism to Capitalism and Western culture. It was a suicidal act, which killed most cruelly hundreds of thousands (some say more) of Chinese people, of whom Communism had already killed millions in the two decades before the Cultural Revolution was organised by Mao through his personality cult. The economic and cultural results of the Cultural Revolution were disastrous, just as they had been in Russia after 1917, when Russia lost some thirteen years of economic and cultural development, not to speak of the sufferings of Russia and the other peoples of the USSR.

Few have heard of the Western Cultural Revolution, though all know that it is real. Some say that this began with the first part of the European War in 1914, which killed sixteen million people in Europe and intensified with its Second Part in 1939, killing over forty million people in Europe. But its most active phase opened two generations after 1914, in 1964. Since then, the bloodshed of war in the tens of millions has largely ceased, only to be replaced by the bloodshed of abortion in the tens of millions. Reproducing the decadence and debauchery of Ancient Rome before it fell, it has debased not only art, but also human appearance, with an epidemic of obesity, tattoos, coloured hair, metal inserted into the face, ‘gender change’, woke perversion and widespread pedophilia. Where did this ‘Cultural Revolution’ come from? What does it all mean?

Just like the Russian and the Chinese Cultural Revolutions before it, the Western Cultural Revolution is in fact not Cultural, but Anti-Cultural. Indeed, it is suicidal, for it preaches the Culture of Death, in abortion at one end of life and euthanasia at the other end of life, and in lowering life expectancy. And then it wonders why depopulation is rapidly taking place in the Western and Westernised world, as a result of the refusal to have children and cultivate family life. Although this Revolution was started by suicidal Western Europe in 1914, it has in the last fifty years been led by the no less suicidal USA. Ruled by Oligarchy, which it falsely calls ‘Democracy’, it censors all opinions that differ from those that its mercenary Zionist media publish and all the Western countries pay homage to as vassals of their feudal master in the USA.

Do we stop here, with these words of despair? No, we cannot and we must not. Surely, the Western world can ‘walk it all back’? Of course, it can, but it will have to give up the idol of what it falsely calls ‘Western culture’, that is, it will have to give up its culture of ignorance and arrogance, its culture of imagined racial superiority and exploitation of the rest. The proud era of ‘The West is Best’ is long since over. The Western culture that created both Marxism and Nazism, the concentration camp and the World War, gender change and totalitarian liberalism, has been found wanting. It no longer has any spiritual foundation, for it lost that long ago. Only by returning to its spiritual foundations and teachings, which it began to reject already a millennium ago, can it revive. And that will take the miracle of repentance and humility. A miracle indeed.

 

On the Human Remains Found near Ekaterinburg and the Last Tsar

Introduction

On the night of 4/17 July 2018 I was fortunate enough to be able to take part in the centennial pilgrimage of 120,000 Orthodox in the Urals. For hours after the Divine liturgy, led by Patriarch Kyrill, which had ended at midnight, we marched swiftly from Ekaterinburg to Ganina Yama in honour of the martyrdom of the martyred Tsar Nicholas, His Family and their four retainers (the pilgrims also prayed to the martyred layman, Gregory Rasputin). As we arrived, day broke. But where are the relics of the Imperial Martyrs and their four retainers?

The Past

In May 1979 two amateur enthusiasts found human remains at Ganina Yama (‘Gabriel’s Pit’) near Ekaterinburg, the reputed burial place of Tsar Nicholas II, His Family and their four retainers. As the Soviet tyranny fell, in July 1991 the alleged remains of five family members (the Tsar, Tsarina and three daughters) and four retainers were exhumed. After forensic examination and positive DNA identification, the nine sets of remains were laid to rest with State honours in St Catherine’s Chapel of Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg. In February 1998 the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church opposed the government’s decision to bury the remains, preferring a symbolic grave until their authenticity had been confirmed. Thus, when they were interred in July 1998, they were referred to by the priest conducting the service as ‘Christian victims of the Revolution’ rather than as the Imperial Family.

In 2007 the alleged remains of Tsarevich Alexei and one of his sisters, reckoned to be Maria by Russian anthropologists, were discovered at Porosjonkov Log (‘Piglets’ Ravine’), just a few hundred metres from Ganina Yama. These were positively DNA tested. In late 2015, at the insistence of the Church, Russian investigators took samples from the alleged remains of Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra for additional DNA testing, which appeared to reconfirm that the remains were those of the couple. However, very many serious Orthodox, Elder Nicholas (Guryanov), the historian Piotr Valentinovich Multatuli (the great-grandson of one of the martyrs) and many other medical specialists believed that the remains of the Romanovs had been destroyed at Ganina Yama during a ritual murder. Therefore, the alleged remains of the martyrs, as well as the place of one of the burials at Porosyonkov Log, are ignored by the faithful.

The Present

Why is there such opposition to the sets of DNA results, which clearly suggest that these are indeed the remains of the eleven victims of that dread night 107 years ago? Why has Patriarch Kyrill ‘kicked any official decision into the long grass’, as they say, by declaring that a Council of Bishops must be summoned in order to come to a decision? This is all the more a postponed decision, as no Council of Bishops could meet during the covid crisis or can meet now during the tragic conflict in the Ukraine, as the Ukrainian bishops, almost a quarter of the whole Russian Orthodox episcopate, cannot attend? The answer is because there is no unanimity within the Church or among the bishops. For the issue of ‘the Ekaterinburg Remains’ has been completely politicised, manipulated by politicians. This all began with the Western-installed Yeltsin State of the 1990s, which clearly wanted to dispose of the matter as soon as possible.

The Yeltsin regime, like its Western sponsors, wanted the DNA tests to be positive, so they could, literally, bury this painful subject. This was especially so given the Communist drunkard Yeltsin’s direct role in demolishing the Ipatiev House in Ekaterinburg, where the slaying of the Imperial Family had taken place. Furthermore, in the 1990s, DNA testing was relatively very primitive. Moreover, it took place in the UK and the USA, so many Russians believe this allowed a further manipulation for the Western-backed Yeltsin regime. As for today, President Putin, a political strongman whose character was forged by the Soviet State, he rather despises Tsar Nicholas II as a weak ruler. As to the Church’s bishops, there is another problem. Much of the Church hierarchy is despised by many people (and many clergy). They are seen as ‘mini-oligarchs’ (to quote Russians inside Russia), who have no love for popular piety.

The Division

Thus, a gulf of distrust exists between the centralised, bureaucratised and tightly-controlled episcopate on the one hand and, on the other hand, the people, the parish clergy and the monastics. Sadly, today’s Russian Church has returned to exactly the same clericalist problems as in the pre-Revolutionary Church, by which Tsar Nicholas II was himself embarrassed and tried so despairingly to overcome. Furthermore, problems also arise from the sharp political divide within the episcopate itself. This is again just as there were before the Revolution, say between the arch-liberal Metr Anony (Vadkovsky) of Saint Petersburg and the arch-conservative Metr Antony (Khrapovitsky) of Kiev. Today, this political divide is again between what in secular language is called ‘left and right’, between liberals and conservatives, or in historic Church language, between Arians and Monophysites.

Thus, the Arians emphasise the human side of Church life, sometimes in a lax and modernist way, almost to the exclusion of Christ-God, whereas the Monophysites emphasise the clerical and the ascetic, sometimes harshly and mercilessly, almost to the exclusion of the human. Thus, today, of two very well-known bishops who support the DNA results, one severely compromised himself by supporting the State persecution of the Church in Russia during the covid restrictions and the other was involved in ecumenism, liberalism and a homosexual scandal, totally discrediting himself. However, some of those who oppose the recognition of the remains as those of the martyred Imperial Family and their retainers are marked by ultra-nationalism and anti-semitism. Usually, these people appear to be Non-Churchgoers, for whom Orthodoxy is a political and racist ideology, not the living Faith. What of the Orthodox?

Conclusion

In the Tradition, saints are revealed to us not by archaeologists or DNA, but by miracles. It is our belief that only when Russians have repented for the crimes of their ancestors and for their present practical atheism and changed their way of life, will the truth be revealed. However, this repentance concerns us all, for all Orthodox need to begin to live an Orthodox way of life for the truth to be revealed. For the truth of the past is only revealed when there is righteousness in the present. Only then shall we be worthy to know the Truth of God.

 

 

The Consequences of the Russian Victory in the Ukraine

The Origin of the Western Delusion

The elites of Western European countries have always tried to invade and then colonise and exploit the lands nearest to them. This means the invasions, mainly from the lands between the Rhine and the Loire or else from Northern Italy, of Sardinia in 1015-17, then of Greek Sicily and Southern Italy, the Frankish-led 1064 Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula, the Norman-led invasion of England in 1066 and from there the invasions of the Celtic lands, the Frankish ‘Crusades’ in the Holy Land and the Teutonic Knight invasions of the Baltic States and Russia. These aggressions against Russia were later repeated in every century, by the Poles in 1609-18, by the Swedes in the Great Northern War, by Napoleon in 1812 and then by Hitler in 1941, both with Collective European invasions, which became routs of Western Europe. Now history is repeated in the Ukraine.

Originally, such imperialism came about because Western Europe began to consider that it possessed a superior religion under its leader, the infallible Pope, who had by dogma replaced Christ and from whom alone the Holy Spirit comes into the world. Then it laid claim to a superior civilisation, because it had superior military and industrial technology. Next it claimed to be a superior race (most visibly among the ‘Aryan’ Nazis), and today it considers that it is superior because it has ‘liberal’ values. In fact, like all its other ‘European values’, its liberalism is Fascist, as it denigrates others. Among them, even the word ‘liberal’ has come to mean intolerant. Indeed, unsurprisingly, the grandfathers of many of the unelected, but ‘infallible’, ‘Papist’ and Neo-Carolingian EU leaders were Nazis, for example those of von der Leyen, Kallas, Merz, Baerbok etc.

The End-Game in the Ukraine

The ill-advised Trump has lost the US proxy war against Russia, whatever the PR drone stunts of Kiev. Ignorant of the geography, history and politics of all countries outside the USA, he believed the propaganda lies which were fed to him, that Russia was losing the war with huge losses and sacrificing ‘human waves’ of its soldiers, its leader was dying, its ‘tiny economy’ (‘the same size as Spain’s’) was ‘in meltdown’, its forces had no arms, no fuel, no weapons, no soldiers, that it ‘was a gas station masquerading as a country’. Trump may be a poker player, but he has ‘no cards’, so he cannot win. He has and never had any ‘leverage’ and the latest EU threats of piracy are laughable. Russia’s economy is in fact the fourth largest in the world, at least four to five times larger than Spain’s, indeed, the largest in Europe. Perhaps slowly, but reality is dawning.

Russia is not a poker player, but a chess player. Thus, in the Ukraine there will be no frozen conflict, no stalemate, no ceasefire, no DMZ, as there was in Korea, in that war which the Western world also lost. No, the Ukraine will be another Vietnam or Afghanistan, a humiliating capitulation, as in Saigon or Kabul. Millions of Ukrainians who had to flee to Russia from the genocidal Fascist regime in Kiev will return to the New Ukraine, once peace has come there, as well as many of the more than six million Ukrainians who took the politically-motivated bribes of the West and emigrated there after 2022. When peace comes, there will be a New Ukraine and it will be remade as a neutral State, with very deep suspicion of the West which wanted to genocide the Ukraine ‘to the last Ukrainian’, for clearly Ukrainian lives do not matter to the racist and anti-Slav Western world.

The conflict in the Ukraine has been a civil war and also a war of attrition. The Russian aim from the outset was to wipe out the NATO-trained, -armed and -financed Ukrainian armed forces. This is what Russia meant by ‘Demilitarisation’. Russia, by far the largest country in the world, needs no new territories, but the ‘Ukrainian’ territories inhabited by persecuted Russians will become part of Russia. Trump is no mediator in this conflict, the USA has always supported Kiev in every way and is still doing so, so his PR peace efforts to try and win a Nobel prize, funded by the CIA, are all in vain. The war will end on the battlefield. All wars of attrition end suddenly. This one will end suddenly too and that end may come in the next few months. In that case the conflict will have lasted about as long as the Second World War in Russia (June 1941-May 1945).

Consequences: A World of Spheres of Influence

Given NATO aggression, which caused the war in the Ukraine through its sponsorship of the puppet Fascist regime that it set up in Kiev, and the imminent NATO defeat, there will be great bitterness and a spirit of revanchism against Russia in defeated and humiliated Western Europe. We can imagine a barbed wire fence being laid out along the border between the New Ukraine and the Uniat Galician far west of Stalin’s old Ukraine, which will be separated from the Russian world by that fence. This will prevent invasions and terrorist attacks, perhaps planned, as so often happens, by the British MI6 and SAS, from Galicia or Poland. This situation will last until such time as there is a new pragmatic and realistic elite in Western Europe, the old ideological one swept away by its long-suffering peoples, who want good relations with their neighbours.

The post-Ukrainian world will be a multipolar world of spheres of influence, dominated by the three Great Powers and perhaps later by a fourth, India, if it can overcome its narrow Hindu nationalism. Thus, the USA will dominate or control Greenland (to be invaded by it), Canada (seceded Alberta may well become the 51st State of the USA), Mexico, Central America as far as Panama, the ‘Gulf of America’ and the Caribbean. China will dominate East Asia and its influence will become ever greater in Japan, Korea, South-East Asia, the Western outpost of Australia, South America (which the US is about to lose to China) and, together with Russian arms and diplomacy, Africa. Russia will help all Northern Asia, from Europe to the Sea of Japan, including the Caucasus and Central Asia and any in Western Europe (see below) who wish for co-operation.

Consequences: An Isolated Western Europe

Now Europe has for a millennium been divided into two halves. The Western half (‘Western Europe’ – see above) consists of the former Catholic and Protestant countries. The Eastern half belongs to Eurasia and consists of Russia, Belarus and the future New Ukraine, whose precise borders are yet to be set. Western Europe is sociologically and ideologically divided between the tiny bankster- and oligarch-controlled ruling elite, supported by and consisting of some 20% of the population who benefit from the elite, 20% who oppose the feudal, oligarchic and exploitative nature of the West and then the 60% inbetween. This 60% swims with the tide, looking only for its own survival and benefit. Nobody can rely on the support of this unprincipled mass. However, we do not condemn them, they too have to eat and feed their children.

The tragedy of Western Europe is that its elite has actually believed in its own lies, known variously as ‘propaganda, spin, narrative, fantasy, fairy tales, wishful thinking, virtual reality, a parallel universe’. All of these such fantasies are delusion, more precisely self-delusion. The result is that Western Europe will be defeated and then will separate from its artificial ‘Union’ into its various constituent parts, north, west, east and south. For example, the sixteen countries of south-eastern Europe, from Austria to Cyprus, could leave for the sphere of influence of Russia, with all Northern Eurasia, linking them with the New Silk Road of China. Many in Hungary, Slovakia and Non-EU Serbia are already thinking of doing this. This will leave the twenty-five countries of the rest of Western Europe even more abandoned and isolated.

They will have to define themselves afresh, retrieving their roots. It will then be quite possible that the six countries of south-western Europe, Italy, Malta, San Marino and then Spain, Portugal and Andorra will leave the EU, in that order, to join south-western Europe and the BRICS world led by the Russian Federation. This will leave the nineteen countries of north-western Europe, from Iceland to Estonia, even more isolated. Only through such isolation and self-examination can come repentance and the decolonisation and devassalisation of the Western European peoples, the French, Bavarians, English, Poles, Dutch, Swiss, Scandinavians, Finns, Balts and all the others, from their corrupted and barbarian Neo-Carolingian elite, which today is centred in Brussels. For some, like the long-oppressed Irish, this repentance will be easier than for others.

The Consequences for the Russian Orthodox Church

By allying itself with the State of the Russian Federation, the Sovietised and nationalistic Moscow Patriarchate (and its New York ROCOR satellite) have lost their influence outside the Federation, in the Ukraine, Moldova and the Baltic States, just as it lost the Orthodox in Finland, Poland and Slovakia after the 1917 Revolution, when those countries were recreated. In other words, a bureaucratised, clericalised, nationalised and militarised ideology replaced pastorship in the Russian Church. In bitterness Western countries may yet ban any Russian Orthodox churches in Western Europe. This is already happening in the Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia and its Patriarch has already been officially banned from the Ukraine, Lithuania, Canada and the UK. It is becoming a ghetto-Church, both voluntarily and involuntarily.

The problems of the Patriarchate of Moscow and its ROCOR subsidiary all came about through the desire of certain of its leading bishops to create an Orthodox Vatican. They have long admired the Statist ideology of the Vatican, espoused by Patriarch Sergius. This meant competing against Constantinople, which had already advanced much further along that same Statist path, that of replacing pastors with political ideologues, replacing Churchmanship with politics. The Vatican is a Church-Business, a Church-State, a Church of the filioque, according to which the Pope is the Head of the Church, replacing Christ, from Whom ‘proceeds the Holy Spirit’ and who has the right to persecute real Christians. But the real Church of God, Orthodoxy, is not a State, not a Business, not the filioque. The elitist Vatican model is alien and rejected by all sincere Orthodox.

 

 

Translation of an Interview with the Russian Chrisma Church Website

Bright Tuesday 22 April 2025

https://t.me/s/chrisma_center

 Part One: The Orthodox World and Inter-Orthodox Relations

How would you characterise the situation of the Orthodox world and of inter-Orthodox relations today? What are the main forces and factors influencing this situation?

In the fifty years that I have been a conscious Orthodox, I have never known such a situation. The Schism, indeed multiple schisms, between Local Orthodox Churches today are unprecedented. This is a crisis.

As you know this crisis began with the action of the Patriarch of Constantinople, whose Patriarchate  received $20 million from the CIA to set up a fake nationalist Church in Kiev, composed of gangsters and murderers. (In reality he only got $15 million, as $5 million ‘disappeared’ in Kiev. Someone has to pay for the villas and the Bentleys….).

The West has used either naïve or else mercenary Ukrainians, exploiting their sense of entitlement, for its purpose, which is to destroy Russia, so it can then plunder its resources, which it has valued at nearly $100 trillion. (The Ukraine itself is irrelevant to these Western war criminals). Setting up a fake Church and using Nazis in the Ukraine were merely parts of the Western operation to weaken, destroy and then dismember Russia. It convinced nobody and failed utterly.

We see then a new ‘Cold War’, though that expression was always absurd. Both the first Cold War and this Second Cold War have been hot wars, which have left millions dead. After its rout in Vietnam, the US decided that Americans should no longer die to expand their Empire, that others should die for it, Afghans in Afghanistan, Iraqis in Iraq, Ukrainians in the Ukraine, ‘until the last Ukrainian’, as the West proclaims.

However, I remind you that the word ‘crisis’ means in Greek ‘judgement’. And this war is the Judgement of God on all concerned, on Orthodox and Non-Orthodox alike, not least the Judgement of God on Ukrainians and Russians. This is the Judgement of those who bear the Orthodox Christian Spirit, dukhonostsy, and those who fight against the Orthodox Christian Spirit, dukhobortsy. Which side are we on? That is what we must ask ourselves.

What are the fundamental positive and negative tendencies in the Orthodox world and in inter-Orthodox relations?

A Schism means that there is no communion between two parts. Negative tendencies are among those who create schisms. Thus, the only positive tendencies are among those who are trying to restore communion, despite the nationalist politicians, money-lovers and ‘Orthodox’ chauvinists, who caused these schisms. And I remind you that there are multiple schisms, although that may not be clear to all in Moscow.

Once Constantinople started in the Ukraine and Moscow broke off communion with it, other Greek chauvinists in Alexandria, Greece and Cyprus, who put their Hellenism above Christ, followed. Then Moscow moved into Alexandria’s canonical territory in Africa, apparently in revenge. There followed another schism and the Non-Greek and Non-Russian Local Churches began to lose sympathy for Moscow, which they began to see as no better than the Greeks, for it too had begun to operate on someone else’s canonical territory.

Then Moscow, through its Soviet centralisation, lost the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which now has over 100 of its own churches in Western Europe, outside the jurisdiction of Moscow. In Moldova there are now also over 200 parishes which have transferred from the Moscow Church there to the Romanian Church. Not a single one is going the other way and others are leaving Moscow every month. Will Moldova declare that it is autocephalous and set up its own jurisdiction in Western Europe, taking its many clergy and parishes there from Moscow? What exactly is this self-destructive streak in the Russian Church, which centralises and then attacks those who object to centralisation in search of freedom and the right to use their own language?

Then Orthodox in Latvia broke away from Moscow with a self-declared autocephaly, Estonia may follow, some in Lithuania have already left. And many liberal clergy and parishes in Western Europe and several liberal pastors inside Russia, like Fr Alexei Uminsky, have left Moscow because of what they see as Patriarchal support for the conflict in the Ukraine. His case sparked a huge scandal and reached the mainstream Western media. How, they asked, did the Persecuted Church of Russia become the Persecuting Church?

Fr Alexei has been well-known for years as a liberal, a charming but very naïve man, in the style of the former Bishop Basil (Osborne). We may not agree with liberals and their anti-patriotic streak, but he was an excellent pastor, sincere and kind, and he received the support of well over 14,000 Orthodox, who were opposed to his defrocking. And yet he was defrocked. Which is the canon that states that a good and loving priest can be defrocked because his political opinions differ from those of his bishop? Then Fr Alexis’ place was taken by an aggressive and militant maximalist, of whom it is asked: Where is the love in his words? Why do Church authorities persecute good pastors? We have received no answer to this question.

However, it is not only the pro-Western liberals who have opposed Moscow, the very conservative bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) have also publicly called on Russia to withdraw its troops from the Ukraine. And yet they have not been defrocked, even though on top of this they fell into schism from Moscow’s Western European Archdiocese and into the heresy of rebaptism, persecuting those who uphold Moscow’s viewpoint.

We are reminded that the CIA has great influence and also recruits in ROCOR and that eighty-three years ago ROCOR bishops supported Hitler and his Russian Fascist Vlasovtsy troops. Moscow appears to have no objection to this anti-Russian position of the highly Americanised ROCOR, which seems to have completely forgotten its Russian and Orthodox origins, despite its name. But inside Russia, it is different….

The falling away of the same New York-run ROCOR into the heresy of rebaptism, rebaptising Orthodox who want to go to its churches, despite the Creed which proclaims that ‘I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins’, and this, apparently, with the full support of Moscow, is serious. Yet ROCOR has since 2017 increasingly become just another American convert sect with cult followers, like other old calendarist sects. It has no knowledge of the real European Orthodoxy and it has become a type of Uniatism, a closely imitated Orthodox rite, but without the inward Orthodox and Christian spirit.

In all this I am reminded of a story from the life of President Putin. At the end of 1989 he was stationed in Dresden in East Germany and that country was breaking up around him. So they phoned Moscow: ‘What shall we do? What must we say?’. And there was no answer. ‘Moscow is silent’. Those words really marked him. But today Moscow is still silent, though this time Moscow means the Moscow Patriarchate, the administration of the Russian Orthodox Church. Moscow is in denial.

Since the refusal of Moscow to deal with the unresolved ROCOR schism and then heresy (unresolved schisms always turn into heresies, look at the Roman Catholics), over thirty churches, 10% of the whole, have already left ROCOR for the Patriarchates of Constantinople or Bucharest. The former has set up a whole vicariate for them in the USA and a whole group with several churches and 15 clergy left for Bucharest in England. The fact is that the Russian Church is beginning to collapse outside the borders of the Russian Federation and Belarus. Why? Because it appears to have no adherence to the catholicity and canonicity of the Church. Moscow is silent.

Here is the fruit of Moscow’s breaking of communion. The Moscow jurisdiction is itself breaking apart. Unity is the most important thing in Church life, but it can only exist where there is love. Now chauvinism is hatred. Little wonder that in view of all this, heterodox, and not only Roman Catholics, say that the Orthodox Church no longer exists, it is broken into warring pieces, it has no catholicity. Moscow is silent.

Do you think that practical unity between the Local Orthodox Churches can be restored? What must happen for this unity to reappear? Could there be some kind of Amman format meeting?

Of course, the restoration of unity is possible, everything is possible. But it will need repentance. You may say that Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople is too proud to repent, as he started it all. But there are two groups in Constantinople, that around the present Patriarch and the other, who quite openly declare that their Patriarch is mistaken. I think one of these will be the next Patriarch. The present one is very old and it is clear to all that he blundered in the Ukraine under financial pressure from the Americans, then governed by Trump who gave the Ukrainians military training and weapons, but who has now changed his tune in view of the Russian victory over the US-run NATO in its proxy war in the Ukraine.

However, there is also the schism between Moscow and Alexandria. There must be a solution here too. Moscow lost so much sympathy in the Orthodox world by entering into Africa, Alexandria’s canonical territory.

I think that after the Special Military Operation (SMO) is over in the Ukraine, there must be a Council of all 16 Autocephalous Local Churches. It is the Catholicity of the Church that has been under threat, ever since both Constantinople and Moscow insisted on centralisation. Both want unity, but Orthodox, unlike Roman Catholics, want unity in diversity, on the model of the Holy Trinity. And the word for Council is basically the same as the word for Catholicity in Slav languages. Constantinople and Moscow should not impose some Roman Catholic type of unity, that is, centralisation and rejection of Non-Greeks and Non-Russians.

Which hierarchs, theologians and others are working for the destruction of or, conversely, for the building up of Orthodox unity?

All who work in the Name of Power, Money and Outward Splendour, instead of in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, work for the destruction of Orthodox unity. The latter are the prophetic voices, those of Patriarch Porphyry of Serbia, of the Patriarchs Daniel of Bucharest and Sofia, of the late Archbishop Anastasy of Albania, and of all the others, in Poland, Georgia and Jerusalem. But all are waiting for peace in the Ukraine first. Nothing can be done until then, when a host of decisions will be taken, after the present paralysis is over.

  1. The Russian Orthodox Church. The Ukrainian Question.

What successes do you think that the Russian Orthodox Church has in external affairs, Church diplomacy, its foreign missions etc?

Here there are no successes, only catastrophic failures. Even its embraces with the Pope of Rome discredit the Russian Church. Why do you want to embrace the leader of a Church of so many homosexual and pedophile clergy, whom ordinary Catholics cannot stand? Orthodox and Catholics begin to think that the Orthodox who embrace Catholic clergy must themselves be homosexuals and pedophiles. Birds of a feather flock together, as they say.

One very young, very inexperienced, very racist and very arrogant Moscow Metropolitan said a few years ago, when he learned that masses of Non-Russians were leaving Moscow: ‘Too bad for them’. He did not see that in fact it is too bad for the Moscow Patriarchate, which is the loser, and so much the better for those who leave it. In such a situation, the Russian Orthodox Church should be renamed ‘The Russian Nationalist Church’. Perhaps he would agree to that? Catastrophic failures, indeed.

Only 20 years ago, the Orthodox world was praising the Russian Church, the Church of the New Martyrs and Confessors, the bastion and hope of Orthodoxy. In 2003, His Holiness Patriarch Alexiy II, whom I knew, wanted to found a Local Western European Orthodox Church. And now all is lost! Moscow is losing its Diaspora, of which at least half, if not three-quarters, is made up of Ukrainians and Moldovans, whom Moscow has continually treated as second-class citizens. Last year Metr Vladimir of Moldova himself wrote publicly about this ill treatment to His Holiness Patriarch Kyrill. We, who are at the grassroots, have seen concrete examples of this racism and hatred towards Non-Russians every week over the last fifty years. Non-Russians have gradually been chased out of the Russian Nationalist Church.

As a result, the numbers attending Russian chapels and communities in this country, outside the Cathedral in London., are of the order of 10, 20 or 30 people. The numbers are tiny. Conversely, Greek and Romanian churches get hundreds, up to a thousand every Sunday. The Russian Church is dying out. For example, in our Romanian parish we have to give communion from three or four chalices every Sunday to those who have had confession.

I was brought up in the old Russian emigration. Metr Antony of Sourozh, who tonsured me reader in 1981, the St Seraphim-like Archbishop George (Tarasov) in Paris, who had been a pilot on the Western Front in the First World War, Archbishop Antony of Geneva, the successor of St John of Shanghai, and who ordained me priest nearly 35 years ago, and above all the greatest Russian emigre of them all, Vladyka John of Shanghai, the saint, born in what is now the Ukraine, would be horrified by what is happening now. I spent my life working for the unity of the Russian Church; now the young and inexperienced, younger than our children, have been allowed to destroy that unity. Why? Who are these Young Turks who create schisms, sects and heresies?

What would you say are the strengths and the weaknesses of the Russian Church as regards its external activities and in inter-Orthodox relations?

I can see no strengths at all, as it has quite isolated itself from the Orthodox mainstream and at present shows no humility or desire to return to the mainstream.

The weaknesses of the Russian Church are eight in number, as follows:

Centralisation, militarisation, nationalisation, bureaucratisation, oligarchisation of the episcopate (corruption). From here you have a great many cases of careerism, ecumenism, episcopal homosexualisation.

It is all politics instead of pastors, protocols instead of the Gospel of Christ, chauvinist hatred instead of Love. Ask any Ukrainian from Kiev. Ask any Moldovan. Ask any Orthodox in Western Europe.

What could reinforce the positions and authority of the Russian Church?

The restoration, not reinforcement (it is too late for that), of the authority and positions of the Russian Church can only come through repentance and missionary work. The latter can only be successful if it accepts Non-Russians as they are. Otherwise, the Russian Church will die out here, just as the first and second waves of the Russian emigration died out here. You cannot Russify what is not Russian, though you can make it Orthodox. To do missionary work means to decentralise and grant autocephaly to the missions, once they are large enough to stand on their own two feet.

To my mind, the Church of the Ukraine (that is, the Church inside the new borders of the new Ukrainian State, whatever they will be and whatever it will be called) should receive autocephaly, as should Orthodox in Moldova and in the four Baltic States of Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Lithuania. These three should at once receive autocephaly. Otherwise, the Orthodox in those countries will go on splitting into different groups in disunity. It is still not too late to recover Church unity in the Ukraine, Moldova and Estonia in particular. Moscow centralisation only kills unity, as we can see everywhere in the Diaspora.

I have to mention here that the quality of the Russian bishops sent from Russia to Western Europe has been disastrous, apart from the one exception of Metr Nestor, who is excellent. There has been one scandal after another, though I will not go into details here. You cannot hide or censor scandals in the open, internet societies of Western Europe. For example, in London there lives Maxim, the ex-bishop who was defrocked for running a drugs factory with his boyfriend in Saint Petersburg. He was already notorious for his depravity when he was a priest in London, so they sent him back to Russia, where they made him a bishop, along with the two Ignatys! It is all so sad.

And in ROCOR it is no better, we have seen them all pass by here, one an anthroposophist, another a fanatic, one an alcoholic, another a homosexual parading with his boyfriend and his narcissistic and vindictive rages and alcohol, another CIA…God save us all!

How is the Russian Church perceived in the Western world today?

After all the above and then after the Budapest scandal, how do you think the Russian Church is perceived? It has totally discredited itself and is seen as hypocritical. How can the Russian Church be against the LGBT brigade, when it has so many homosexuals? If a priest were homosexual, he would be defrocked, but not a bishop. Strange. It is so sad, when 15-20 years ago the Russian Church was riding high on zeal for the New Martyrs and Confessors, and everything was still possible.

What for you would be the best outcome of the Ukrainian Church problem?

Let us be frank. The Soviet Ukraine, exactly like ‘Europe’ or the UK, is an artificial construct, created for purely ideological reasons. The Ukraine must be broken down into its component parts. It was constructed by three atheist dictators, Lenin who in 1922 gave Novorossija to the Ukraine from Russia, Stalin who between 1939 and 1945 grabbed land from Poland, Hungary and Romania, and then Khrushchov, who in 1954 gave Russian Crimea away to Kiev. It is strange to see how the West, supposedly the advocate of self-determination, freedom and democracy (!), so ardently supports the oppression and injustices of these three Communist dictators! Kiev oppresses all its minorities, some 40% or more of the population, and the West supports that oppression. But then the West is just as atheistic as the Communist dictators, so I suppose it is normal. Atheists everywhere have the same values, whether Communists or Capitalists. They are all oligarchs.

It seems to me that North Bukovina (Chernivtsy) should be returned to Romania, so-called ‘Zakarpat’e’ (Subcarpathian Rus) to Hungary and the two and a half Greek Catholic provinces next to the Polish border (‘U-krajina’) of Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and the western half of Ternopol should be returned to Poland (or else they should become an independent Galician State and be closed off by barbed wire from the Orthodox world). Novorossija should be returned to Russia, leaving the ten and a half provinces of Kiyivska Rus, Kievan Rus, to be independent and sovereign. All that would have to be confirmed by self-determination, by referenda, after the full liberation of the Ukraine from the Neo-Nazi Banderists in Kiev and Galicia. Then the canonical Church in the new Kievan Rus State should be given autocephaly by Moscow. Will any of this actually happen? God will decide.

What could change in the Orthodox world after the end of the SMO in the Ukraine?

I think Patriarch Bartholomew will retire or ‘be retired’. There are plenty of anti-Ukrainian Greek bishop-candidates ready to take his place and Trump and Vance would support one of them. Just as Biden supported Patriarch Bartholomew.

More generally, there would have to be an Inter-Orthodox Council, a free one, held in humility, unlike the absurd meeting in Crete nine years ago.

It is a strange thing that the greatest economic and political event in the world in the last sixteen years was the Russian foundation of BRICS in Ekaterinburg in 2009. BRICS is an Alliance of Sovereign Nations, based on the profoundly Orthodox principle of Unity in Diversity, the principle of the Holy Trinity. It is strange that secular countries can follow that principle and hold summits every year, but not the Church, which seems to want Roman Catholic style or Soviet-style centralisation, instead of Councils and Conciliarity/Catholicity.

President Putin has on numerous occasions remarked that: ‘He who is not nostalgic for the USSR has no heart, but he who wants it back has no brain’. It seems to me that there are some in the Russian Church who have not yet heard his words.

Do you have refugees from the Ukraine among your parishioners?  What churches do they attend? How do they see the conflict between the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox Churches? Are there any difficulties with them?

Of course, we have many refugees, who come from the canonical Church of Vladyka Onufry. They attend any churches except for Russian churches. In London they have their own Ukrainian parishes. Russians must understand that the vast majority of Ukrainians will now never attend churches where His Holiness Patriarch Kyrill is commemorated. The Russian Church has lost the Ukraine for ever. We have no conflicts with any Ukrainians, because we accept them as we accept all Orthodox nationalities, including canonical Ukrainians who have been here for many years.

Does the British government support these refugees?

Of course, as do all Western governments. However, that support is political, not humanitarian. One day Western governments will drop them. All that Western governments are interested in is people who are anti-Russian. It is all very hypocritical, they do not care for Ukrainians as such.

  1. Orthodoxy in Great Britain

What is the situation of the Orthodox community in Great Britain? Is it growing? Or is the Orthodox presence the same as before?

There has been massive growth here over the last 15 years. This growth has been by immigration, specifically that of Romanians and Moldovans. Until then, there had been about 300,000 Orthodox here, with 200,000 Cypriots, and some 100,000 Serbs, Russians (mainly from the Baltics), Bulgarians, non-canonical Ukrainians and others. Then, over the last fifteen years, there arrived 1.1 million Romanians and Moldovans, meaning that today 1.4 million, 2% of the UK population, are Orthodox, I in 50, the vast majority Romanian-speaking.

Which Orthodox Churches are the most active and authoritative in Great Britain today?

Without doubt the Greeks and the Romanians. The Greeks now have several bishops, I think, six, and only on Lazarus Saturday they baptised 200 adults, nearly all Non-Greeks, in a mass baptism. They own many churches, though they suffer from the problem of elderly clergy, the result of 30 years of paralysis before their new Archbishop arrived here in 2019.

The Romanians are continually opening or buying new churches and dozens of seminary-qualified men are being ordained priests. I cannot remember when a Russian man was last ordained priest. It must be at least 10 years ago. As a result, the Russian Church is dying out. Other Orthodox, like the Serbs, Bulgarians and Georgians, also live in very small national ghettoes and do not produce their own clergy. As for the very small Antiochian group, virtually without Arab immigrants, they are intent on recruiting minute numbers of Anglicans Evangelicals, which is all rather strange and, just like the very small ROCOR, including their bishop, their clergy are not trained in Orthodox seminaries, but are untrained and the priests are part-time. That level of ignorance creates many problems. Thus, the Antiochians here are proud to give Copts and Ethiopians communion.

What is the attitude of the British government to Orthodox? Does it favour one jurisdiction over another? Is any support given? Are there political pressures on Orthodox clergy?

The British government remains, as always, completely indifferent to all. The government is atheist. There is no support at all for Orthodox, but no political pressure or persecution either. It is a free market.

Do native English, Scottish etc people join the Orthodox Church? If so, what attracts them?

Over the last 75 years some thousands of native people have joined the Church. I am one of them, 50 years ago. The late Metr Antony of Sourozh was one of those who played a role in this movement, though he seems to have converted almost only from the upper class. But a few thousand is a very small number over 75 years and many have passed away in that time. What attracts them? Spirituality, definitely not politics or nationalism. Nationalist parishes never have any converts. The heterodox world is unspiritual and woke. Who is attracted to that? Spiritual emptiness does not attract, just as a desert does not attract. The Faith of authentic Orthodoxy attracts, but not flag-waving nationalism, meaningless ritualism or corruption. Some Orthodox will die out, others will survive and expand. It all depends on spiritual content, or lack of it.

How do Orthodox perceive the immigration of Africans and Asians. Are there conflicts with them, with Muslims for example? Are they frightened for their future?

Forgive me, but this is a very strange question! You live in Russia, where there are two to three times more Muslims than here! Here most Orthodox are immigrants themselves, why should they have problems with other immigrants? The second language in England is Romanian, the third is Polish. I find Muslims especially respectful. One of them told me that only Orthodox are real Christians. They have little time for the others. We have baptised three former Muslims into our congregation, two Turks and one Iranian. One of our Ukrainian parishioners, who has been here for over 15 years, is a builder and helps build mosques for them. What a pity that Orthodox do not build churches! There are certainly no conflicts with such immigrants. We are not racists! Why should we be frightened of them? I do not understand your question.

Russia’s Defeat of the European Delusion: From Old England to New England

Foreword

With panic and lunatic rhetoric, the Brussels and London elite are now developing fantasy schemes. These consist of spending their non-existent money, or else stolen Russian money, on rearming themselves against an equally non-existent ‘Russian threat’. Trying to intimidate and zombify the Western European public, from the now electricity-starved Baltic statelets to Finland and Sweden, ‘surrounded by Russian submarines’, from Germany to France and the UK, and even from once-neutral Switzerland and to impoverished Southern Europe, the paid Western European media are inventing and developing mythical narratives of ‘Russian threats’. The belligerent elite and their media do not want peace, they want war. Once impoverished Western people have been intimidated, the elite believes that they will pay even more tax to it. But the US no longer believes the lies of that elite. The US wants to rid the world of the cocaine-riddled actor Zelensky and replace him with the politician Timoshenko. Only they are not the ones who will get to choose.

Part One: Western Europe and Russia

The Underlying Russophobia

The Western European elite has always been anti-Russian because Russia is the nearest target, rich with natural resources, and so is the easiest option for expansion and pillage. The ‘Drang nach Osten’, the ‘Onslaught towards the East’ is the ambition of the whole elite. Today it still suffers from a delusional fantasy, born in the virtual world where it lives. Having fought almost to the last Ukrainian soldier, this delusion is to declare a ‘ceasefire’ in the Ukraine without Russia, not consulting the winning side, to win the war with a pathetically weak army, obsolete arms and no money, and to have peace talks and peacekeepers only in order to keep the war going. For them ‘Peace is War’. It is as if Hitler in early 1945 had offered peace terms from his bunker: ‘If you declare me the winner and withdraw, then I will stop fighting’. The incompetent elite offers only the continuation of their already failed Ukrainian fantasy. The only hope for the peoples of Western Europe is to withdraw from the failed Imperialist project, of which NATO and EU are the outward symbols, and to find new leaders.

The Decomposition of the European Delusion

We are witnessing the unravelling of the millennial Imperialist dream and so the decomposition and fragmentation of Western Europe. However well-masked, the founding ideology of Western Europe has always been Nazism, ever since the 11th century Crusades, and like the whole Non-Western world, Russia has always opposed Nazism. And now the US has at last realised that it has all along been used as a dupe to continue the Western European elite’s project. As regards the Ukraine, the French Macron, a typical narcissistic pseudo-intellectual, preaches the violent dream of a new racist Crusade as in 1854, Blackrock’s German agent Merz continues to commit suicide as in 1945, and the UK Starmer et al are capable only of imagining propaganda terrorist operations, dramatic PR, but strategically irrelevant, like the disaster at Dieppe, the Dambusters attack, or the hubris of Arnhem in World War Two, repeated at Bucha, in the disastrous 2023 counteroffensive, at Krynky, in drone attacks on Russian refineries and homes in Moscow, Belgorod, Rostov and Kursk.

The Tribal Rivalries of Western Europe

Western Europe is at a turning-point. Isolated and squabbling with one another, its elite is set against the whole world. The post-World War II settlement with its NATO and EU is over, as all the old institutions are crumbling. The fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact were the first signs, then the reunion of the two Germanies, Brexit, failed EU centralisation, which trampled over every European nation and culture, the crazy attempt by Western Europe to extend into Non-Catholic and Non-Protestant Eastern Europe, even into the Ukraine, and finally the suicidal defeat of NATO in Europe’s Second Crimean War against Russia in the Ukraine. All this is giving rise to the revival of old rivalries. Who will lead Europe? France, Germany or Britain? Who will be the last emperor? Macron who imagines himself as Napoleon, Starmer as Churchill, or Merz as a new Bismarck? It is all sheer fantasy. They have come to believe in their own lies. Peace between the political and economic tribes of Europe will be guaranteed by Russia and the USA, which are far greater than all these midgets combined.

Russia and the Third Defeat of the Combined West

During its millennial history the Russians have defeated many enemies, only one of whom, the Mongol-Tartars, came from the East. All the others came from the suicidal West. These were the Teutonic Knights, the Poles, the Swedes, the British, French and Turks in 1854 in the Crimea, the Germans and Austro-Hungarians in 1914, and the three invasions from the Combined West: under Napoleon, the French and the 12 Nations; under Hitler, the Germans and the 5 Nations; under Obama and Biden, the East Galicians (‘Ukrainians’) and the 28 Nations. This last effort at conquest used the Ukraine as the proxy battering ram to destroy Russia, but failed miserably, although it took Russia over three years to defeat all of NATO and Western Europe, though not the USA, which has retreated, seeing the obvious coming rout. After this final defeat of suicidal Western Europe will come collapse and the foundation of a New Europe, most interestingly for us of a New England. England has been awaiting refoundation and resurrection for nearly a thousand years. Let us look back.

Part Two: England and Russia

The British Assassination of England

The ‘British’ were assembled and appeared in 1066. They were composed of all the scum of North-Western Europe, all the worst Viking, Norman, Fleming, Breton and Frankish bandits. They have always been anti-English, massacring the Old English in the years after their invasion, calling them ‘Anglo-Saxons’, ‘peasants’, ‘villains’ and ‘plebs’. The British, who took their name from the no less sadistic Romans and their Imperialist name for these islands, ‘established’ themselves, and then extended their sadism to the Celtic peoples in Wales, Scotland and Ireland, ethnically cleansing everywhere. After massacring them, the British then began to massacre others in Europe, notably French, later Germans, more recently Russians, and at the same time peoples in the New Worlds, in the Americas, the Caribbean, India, China, Africa and Oceania. Always, however, the English were the first victims of the British and remain so until this very day. Only today they are victims of mental and spiritual massacres, those of self-censorship (wokeness) and brainwashing, not of physical massacres.

Old England

There was once another England. This was pre-British or, if you prefer, pre-Norman, England. Naturally, like all societies it had a social hierarchy, but those at the top and those at the bottom were basically the same English-speaking Anglo-Celtic race, together with the genetic heritage of pre-Celtic peoples. Relations with the purely Celtic peoples were delineated by borders, to the west by Offa’s Dyke and then the Irish Sea, to the south-west by the River Tamar, to the north by the Roman-built walls. A high point in the history of Old England was the saintly King Alfred and his immediate successors, who assimilated the Danish and Norwegian Viking minority by accepting their voluntary baptism and brought unity. There was no place for racism here, the outlook was international, England was part of the concert of nations. Notably, King Alfred had been to Rome as a child, used diplomacy, recruited many helpers from the Celts and Continental Europe. He sent alms to Jerusalem and India, and sent merchants to the ports of Continental Europe and as far as the White Sea.

The British Assassination of Russia

In 1916, facing bankruptcy, the British Establishment saw that it was losing the War in Europe, for which it was itself in part responsible by not mediating peace between the two Continental sides. Its only way of winning would be to involve its US ‘transatlantic cousins’ in the war. Having contrived to bring down the Tsar’s Russia in Saint Petersburg and obtain huge loans from Zionist bankers in New York, all was set for the fateful events of 1917, including later the Balfour Declaration, as demanded from New York. Russia was assassinated in the assassination of the Russian Royal Martyrs. They were martyred by the British/Norman Establishment, the New York banksters and the jealousy of treacherous Russian aristocrats, so-called ‘liberal democrats’ and ‘Constitutionalists’. Today in Britain it is the same ‘Liberal Democrats’ who are opposed to Russia, though almost all Conservatives and Labourists share the same prejudices. They also continue to want to co-opt the USA as their catspaw, as they did in the First and Second Wars and under the sick and foolish Biden.

New England

A close friend of the saintly King Alfred was the righteous King of East Anglia, St Edmund the Martyr – who was assassinated by the Vikings/Normans. Through his sacrifice he became the Patron-Saint of England and remains so to this very day. St Alfred the Confessor and St Edmund the Martyr are the symbols of any future National Liberation and National Cultural Revival, of a Freed New England and a Freed New English People and Culture. Freed, that is, from the British/Norman Yoke, from the Oligarchic Establishment and its State propaganda mouthpiece media, which, despite people’s heroes like Hereward the Wake or Robin Hood, have zombified the masses, feeding them on bread and circuses since the century before last. However, for freedom to come, attention has to be paid to healing England and the English People, and this means rejecting any temptation to interfere in the affairs of others. Attention must be paid to Altar, Throne and Cottage, to Faith, Government and People, for England to become once more a nation in the concert of many nations.

Afterword

In its paranoia, the British Establishment which still dreams of and even still lives in its Imperial past, is obsessed with its Victorian Great Game fantasy. Therefore, it is constantly inventing fake Russian plots against itself: the MI5 poisoning of Litvinenko, the Malaysian aeroplane Flight 17, downed over the Donbass by Kiev in 2014 and blamed on Russia, the MI5-poisoned Skripals in Salisbury, fake Russian cyberattacks and fake Russian spies are all myths, ‘narratives’, invented in self-justification. Moreover, the Establishment still wants revenge for its failed invasion of the Crimea in 1854, which was so disastrous that it led to the fall of its government of the time, and for the failed British coup d’etat in Russia in 1917. Those of us who are believers, despite the CIA infiltration of the Russian Orthodox Church here and its bishops who demand that Russian troops leave the Ukraine, know that all that is hidden will be revealed. The Truth will out. Here are fearful words of warning to the corrupted British and to the Western European elite: You are only punishing yourselves, for God is not mocked.

The Western European Elite Isolated

The Western proxy war in the Ukraine continues, though it is now more or less without the US, which is tired of losing so much money in that entirely unprofitable project. Thus, it is now a Western European proxy war. It seems as though the US will next abandon the equally absurd and loss-making NATO, which Russia has all but destroyed anyway. And the Ukrainians are running out of soldiers to die. Meanwhile, Zelensky has said that he will quit, providing he gets more money. ‘Give me the money and I will go away’. This is typical of a narcissist, whose sense of entitlement is such that he can only be compared to a spoiled brat. Given the new attitude of the US, Zelensky now has to find more dupes to exploit. And the dupes are queueing up for him in Western Europe. This is especially so in the UK, where the proud Establishment is still living in the delusional fantasy of Imperial greatness, although dead long ago, and in vainglorious Napoleonic France, where this fantasy is also shared.

Why do such delusions still exist? Sadly, the greater the empires of the past – the British and the French – and the longer ago they began (in Britain in 1066, in Capetian France a century later), the greater their delusions in the present. Moreover, the British and, in theory, the French, came out as victors in 1945, though they were victors only on paper, their victory was Pyrrhic. In reality, the British had begun handing over their Empire to the US as early as 1916, according to Milner’s Round Table plan. This plan was to destroy the Tsar’s Russia and then use the US as a catspaw to prolong British Imperialism. However, all that was good in the Tsar’s Russia, State-regulated Capitalism and free healthcare and education, survived in the USSR. It proved unvanquished. We clearly see that continuity today – Russia is still the largest country in the world and the largest economy in Europe. The Tsar’s Russia, with even its flag, is rising from the dead. Nemesis is coming for those who tried to destroy it.

The Western European elite has now isolated itself from both the Russian Federation and the New USA. There is no more ‘Collective’ West, for only Zelensky and the warmongering Europeans want to continue their war. Thus, that elite has made itself even more irrelevant and laughable in the eyes of the rest of the world and of its own non-zombified peoples. The future German Chancellor Merz (whom 71.5% of German voters do not support) and the unelected ‘Brussels Empire’ bureaucrat, Empress von der Leyen, have both expressed that isolation very eloquently. As the USA prepares to lift sanctions against Russia, the self-harming and very unpopular EU and UK elites (with about 20% of support) are applying even more sanctions to further destroy their own economies. Given the hostility of the Western European elite to both its Great Power neighbours, east and west, and the complete absence of any positive foreign policies or strategies, what possible future can they have?

First of all, we have to understand why the Western European elite refuses to grasp reality, whereas the USA, under Trump, has finally grasped the reality, that it has been willingly deceived by Kiev and its own former, very corrupt elite. The reason for the obtuseness of the Western European elite is because it is profoundly stuck in that above-mentioned thousand-year-old rut. This comes from belief in its snobbish and arrogant prejudice of its own mythical superiority, that somehow, mysteriously, ‘The West is Best’, that is, ‘We are best’. Conversely, the USA has, at worst, only a 250-year-old mentality of superiority, arguably, it may only be 80 years old, going back only to 1945. After all, we should not forget that the greatest ally of the USA in the nineteenth century was Imperial Russia, indeed Russia probably saved the US Union during its Civil War. And both countries fought together against Germany in two World Wars as allies. Are we returning to that once more?

Thus, the US elite is throwing off that mentality of superiority, which it took on from Western Europe, especially from the British elite. However, in Western Europe we can see how that anti-Christian mentality of superiority was shared by its most important leaders during the 1940s. For example, Hitler hated his neighbours, the Slavs (he slaughtered 30 million of them in his holocaust) and the Jews, just as they did during the Teutonic Crusades. Churchill hated ‘blacks and browns’, Africans and Asians, his imperial neighbours. As for De Gaulle, he hated his neighbours, the Arabs, just as they did during the Crusades against the Holy Land. Typically, by the end of 1940 all the Roman Catholic countries in Europe were run by Nazis. It can be said that this Nazism, the hatred of neighbours, is the common ideology of the Western European elite. Look back to Mussolini in Italy and Ethiopia, the Belgian Leopold in the Congo, the Dutch in the ‘East Indies’, the Spanish conquistadores, or the Italian Columbus.

But what will post-Yalta Western Europe be replaced by? Surely there needs to be a New Yalta? The Old Yalta was 80 years ago and is no longer relevant. A New Yalta would be attended by the New Big Three, Presidents Trump, Putin and Xi (instead of Churchill). ‘Eastern Europe’ (in fact the eastern half of Western Europe) is already making its choice, in Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, even in former East Germany, probably in freed Romania next May and, as riots take place against the EU in Sofia, probably in Bulgaria too. Others will follow them. Thus, most of ‘Eastern Europe’ is already deciding on its future – it is in free trade and shared cultural contacts with the Russian Federation. Independent of Russia, it will also be independent of the EU. Western Europe also needs to return to and reintegrate the rest of Asia or, if you prefer, Eurasia. The people want it. After all, Europe is a fake Continent, it is part of Asia and all ‘Europeans’ came to the European Peninsula from Asia.

In other words, the future of Western Europe is also to be with, though in no way under, Russia, that is with the rest of Europe, half of which is precisely inside Russian borders. Today the symbolic head of Western Europe, the elderly and ill Pope of Rome, lies close to death, like his Religion in Western Europe, as also the Protestant groups in Western Europe, which broke off from the Popes, and which are now also dying out in pedophilia. This is also deeply symbolic. Is there a viable alternative in Orthodox Christianity? True, parts of both the Russian Church have been infiltrated through hatred-preaching ‘Orthobro’ bishops and the Greek Church through bribes, but there are other Orthodox Churches, which are free, not subjugated to the USAID of Biden.
