September 2025: A Tale of Two Cities and of Two Saints

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way…

Charles Dickens

Two Cities (1859)

Dickens’ The Tale of Two Cities was published 166 years ago and concerned the two cities of London and Paris. Today these cities have become rather irrelevant on the world stage and been replaced by others. These are Ekaterinburg, which in 1918 became the New Paris, the City of Martyrdom, as was old Paris for a time after 1789, and Shanghai, which has become the new centre of commerce, the New London, as was old London until 1918. Ekaterinburg is in North Asia (Eurasia), at the very frontier of Europe and Asia, and Shanghai is in East Asia. In the first days of September 2025, they came to the fore, as three out of the four most important world leaders met because of agreements made in them.

Firstly, there was the meeting of the SCO (Shanghai Co-operation Organisation) and secondly that of the Intercontinental BRICS, founded in Ekaterinburg. The main languages were Mandarin and Russian. And on 3 September over twenty of the most important world leaders gathered in Beijing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Chinese victory over the Western puppet of Japan, turned rogue, and against Japanese Fascism. 20 million Chinese were killed in this struggle, 16.5 million of them civilians, for China had to fight for fourteen years from 1931-1945 against 70% of the Japanese Army. This is unlike the USA which fought only from 1941 to 1945 and lost 400,000 from its armed forces.

In its battle against German Fascism, the USSR lost 27 million, 19 million of them civilians. In other words, the USSR and China lost 47 million people against Fascism, whereas US lost fewer than 1% of this. The world leaders gathered in Beijing were national leaders, not tyrannical, oligarch-appointed sexual perverts and puppets of the global banking cartels, as in the West, like Trump, Merz, Starmer and Macron. BRICS is the Concert of Sovereign Nations, which preaches non-interference, co-operation, and refuses to engage in regime-change operations or assassinations of the democratically-elected leaders of other countries. They highlight today’s Tale of Two Cities and Tale of Two Saints.

St Nicholas of Ekaterinburg (1868-1918)

BRICS was founded in the Tsar’s Capital of Saint Petersburg in 2006 and its first summit took place in Ekaterinburg in 2009. Ekaterinburg is the City of the martyrdom of Tsar Nicholas II, his Family and four of his faithful servants in 1918, though the first of them had been martyred in 1916. Tsar Nicholas had reigned over a summit of cultural achievement: Dostoyevsky (1881), Chekhov (1904), Tolstoy (1910); Tchaikovsky (1893), Rimsky-Korsakov (1904), Rakhmaninov (1943); Levitan (1900), Serov (1911), Repin (1930). In 1917 this apex of culture was overthrown in a right-wing plot of aristocrats, generals, politicians and lawyers, orchestrated by British perfidy and hatred of Russia in wartime.

The plotters were themselves soon overthrown by the crude and reactive Western ideology of Marxism, accepted and imposed mainly by Non-Russians. Mass genocide followed. Today, those of us who are faithful to the memory of the righteous Tsar continue his mission. Count and Countess Benckendorff, ambassadors of Holy Rus, travel throughout the East of England and beyond, recently visiting Royal Sandringham and greeting King Charles III, and renewing with St Edmund, the last East Anglian King, who was martyred like Tsar Nicholas by the same heathen. This is despite the apostasy of certain members of the Russian Church, whose liberation from the politicians we all await.

Tsar Nicholas II spoke five languages, Russian, English, French, German and Danish. He was multinational, wanting to build a church for Orthodox in every Western European capital, before the First European War prevented him from implementing this project. Today the Benckendorffs fly the multinational White Russian flag combined with St Edmund’s standard as their confession of the Faith. But a number of Church leaders are still stuck either in the masonic (1721-1917), or the Bolshevik (1917-1991), or the Capitalist (1992-2022) past. Thus, the plagues of nationalism, centralism and sectarianism infect the once great multinational Russian Orthodox Church and sadly enslave it and limit it.

St John of Shanghai (1896-1966)

Ekaterinburg has its saint, but so does Shanghai. Multinational, Imperial and Prophetic like our Tsar, St John (Maximovich) preached repentance for his martyrdom not only to the apostatic Russians in Shanghai, Western Europe and the USA, but also to the whole Western world. As a result of the weaponisation of Western finance, trade, the dollar and diplomacy, the United Nations (UN) may yet move from New York precisely to Shanghai, together perhaps with the IMF (International Monetary Fund), the World Bank and the WTO (World Trade Organisation). Although St John was persecuted, suspended and put on trial by the apostatic Russians in the USA, his victory in Shanghai is coming.

After all, the three largest BRICS nations alone, Russia, China and India, that is, North Asia (Eurasia), East Asia and South Asia, represent over three billion people, some 36% of the world’s population. All Eurasia is now being interconnected, as symbolised by new pipelines which are only reinforcing these interconnections. Even West Asia, the greatest nation of which is Iran, is entering into those interconnections, despite the Western wars against it. Africa, Latin America and even Oceania are also now entering into those interconnections. Missing only is the self-isolated and barbarically aggressive north-western peninsula of Eurasia, that pretentiously calls itself ‘Europe’.

That ‘Europe’ and its US master is now a blend of failed (bankrupt) states and rogue (which murder the heads of other countries) states. As globalists, their leaders hate as ever their own peoples. The 750 + US bases worldwide are not threats to freedom, but monuments to its bankruptcy. The Western world, Northern America, Western Europe, the crusader settler colony of Israel, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and the 47 million of Oceania, is isolated. And so it mounts attacks against BRICS in Pakistan and Bangladesh, Nepal and Indonesia, Syria and Iran, Thailand and Cambodia, Venezuela and Brazil, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Serbia, Romania and Moldova, Hungary and Slovakia.

The Way Ahead (2025)

First the Western world lost its diplomatic, technological and military war against Russia, China and India. Then it lost its economic war of illegal sanctions and tariffs, against Russia in 2023, China in 2024, and India in 2025. Western Europe is still living in the past of its old empires. The Frankish Empire of Western Europe, built against Eastern Europe (from 882 on), against Southern Europe (from 999 to 1194), against Northern Europe (from 1066 on) and then against the coastlands of West Asia and North Africa (from 1096 on), is over. This millennial empire is why it is four times more difficult for Western Europe to give up its hubris and fantasy than for the USA with its mere 250-years of empire.

At this very moment Western European governments are collapsing in violence. Its European Wars, ‘World War One’ (1914-18) saw the suicide, or rather murder by Zionists, of the German Second Empire (Reich), the Russian Imperial, the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires. ‘World War Two’ (1939-45) saw the suicide, or rather murder, of the German Third Empire (Reich), the British, the French and the Japanese Empires. ‘World War Three’ (2022- ) saw the suicide, or rather murder, of the US Empire and that of its vassals in Western Europe, the Ukraine and Israel. At this very moment, Western European governments are collapsing. And the cause is the same – suicide or murder.

‘It would be a far, far better thing that you do, than you have ever done’ for the West to return to the Pre-West. This is the West of the Age of the Saints. For authentic Christianity is not a Western religion, but came out of Asia for the whole world. And so the West would become again part the rest of the world. This is the future, to rejoin the Concert of the Sovereign Nations, in respect and toleration. US intolerance, like its religion, does not export. US religion was cast out of Europe because of its intolerance, its intimidation and bullying are not Christian. Western intolerance, interference in the affairs of others, is dead, which is why the Western world is the museum and the cemetery of its past.

 

 

 

Eight Propaganda Myths about the Conflict in the Ukraine

  1. Putin is a new Hitler and he must not be appeased.

However much Putin is worthy of being liked or being hated, one thing is certain: the facts state that his policies are quite different from Hitler’s and from the appeasement by Western leaders regarding his invasion of the then Czechoslovakia. The ‘Putler’ myth was invented and repeated by politicians and journalists who know nothing either of the facts of Czechoslovak history or of the Ukraine.

Czechoslovakia was not formed out of Germany, it was formed out of Austria-Hungary after 1917. Czechoslovakia had a small German-speaking minority, which lived on excellent terms with the Czechs. However, the Ukraine was formed out of Russia after 1917 and had a Russian-speaking majority, about 53%, whose language, religion and culture were severely persecuted by the anti-democratically Western-installed Kiev Fascist regime. Hitler’s forces mounted a full-scale, unprovoked invasion of Czechoslovakia to take over the whole Czech part of the country, whereas limited Russian forces, numbering only about 100,000, entered Eastern Ukraine to liberate it alone from Kiev genocide (14,000 Eastern Ukrainians murdered since 2014), with NATO-trained Kiev forces of some 800,000 massing on its border to implement ‘the final solution’ and Kiev threats of biological and nuclear warfare against Russia. Russian forces gathered only in order to force peace talks. To mount a full-scale invasion of the Ukraine would take 1-2 million troops.

Hitler wanted ‘Lebensraum’, Putin, as the leader of by far the largest country in the world, does not want that at all, he wants people to live in freedom from Fascism and have their own language, culture and religion. Hitler hated the ‘subhuman’ Czechs, Putin loves the Ukrainian people, which is why hardly any Ukrainian civilians have died in this conflict. He sees Ukrainians as the persecuted brothers of Russians who live by the border (‘U kraja’). The ideology of Hitler was anti-Slav Nazism, just like the Fascist and racist ideology of the Western-created Kiev regime, whereas the ideology of Putin is Russian nationalism. For eight long years Putin tried to negotiate peace with Kiev’s Western puppeteers, but they lied, cheated and refused even to speak with him. This was not the case of Hitler, who did not want to negotiate at all – just like the Fascist regime in Kiev. Virtually the whole world abhorred Hitler, virtually the whole world either supports Russia or else remains neutral in the Russian fight for survival against Western aggression. It is the Nazi-supporting Western world which is isolated, not Russia. NATO, which controlled the Kiev armed forces, was founded by Nazi Germans, whereas the Russian Army evolved from the Nazi-hating Red Army.

  1. Russia is an existential threat to Western Europe

The NATO-armed, -financed, -supplied, -trained and -installed Kiev regime was an existential threat to Russia. It had by far the largest NATO Army, a mass of CIA operations and military biolabs, the ongoing genocide of the Russian-speaking population in the east of the Ukraine and the threat to obtain nuclear arms. All of this went against the Ukrainian Constitution, which was founded on neutrality. As the unelected EU ‘Foreign Minister’ Kallas has openly said, the aim of the Western proxy war in the Ukraine is to destroy and break up Russia, and as a NATO general said, he wants to invade Russian Kaliningrad in one day.

However, Russia is not at all an existential threat to Europe. It wants only a neutral Ukraine and does not want even to occupy the Ukraine, let alone any territory beyond that. It wants to take back the Russian part of the Ukraine and let the rest live its life but as a neutral, demilitarised country, rather as was the Kaiser’s aim in France in 1914.

Russia is not an existential threat to Europe, but it is to the wealthy European ruling class, which flies Ukrainian flags, with its millennial imperialism (‘globalism’) and racist supremacism, aggressive expansionism eastwards, financial corruption, the debauchery of its sexual perverts and cocaine addicts, and pedophile institutions like the BBC and parts of Western religious establishments. This unelected elite of oligarchs opposes diplomacy because it wants to continue the war, rejecting all peace talks because it wants to justify its highly profitable NATO. It justifies its existence by imaginary threats from Russia. It cannot lose face, but Trump can, by branding this ‘Biden’s War’, so blaming it on someone else.

  1. Russia has not been successful in the Ukraine because it has not learned the lessons of the past.

Invasions of Russia by the Collective West have been very common for centuries, even well before that of Napoleon in 1812. The threatened invasion of Russian-populated territory in March 2022, carefully prepared from 2014, and even before, had been anticipated by President Putin. He had clearly learned the lessons of mistakes made by Russia before previous Western invasions.

Firstly, he had learned lessons from the Western invasion of Russia through the Crimea in 1853-1856. Here Russia had been undermined economically by Western sanctions and by its use of old-fashioned rifles. As a result, the British destroyed the (British-built) port of Sevastopol and the war ended in a stalemate, portrayed in the West as a victory. Lesson: Use advanced military technology and be prepared for sanctions.

In 1903-4 the West attacked Russia through a proxy, Japan, which the West had armed and financed, almost bankrupting Japan, with modern battleships. Japan attacked Russia unannounced, just as they later did at Pearl Harbour, and the Russian Fleet was humiliated. Although the Russian land war went relatively well and was on the verge of victory, Russia was betrayed by internal political enemies who created social disorder and Russia had to agree to peace talks. Lesson: Build a strong Navy and ensure there is no reason for internal disorder.

In World War One, by the start of 1917, a rearmed Russia was on the verge of victory over Germany and Austro-Hungary, but it was betrayed by the treason of the Germans, the British (and other pseudo-allies), its own treasonous generals, aristocrats, politicians and the lies of treasonous but uncensored journalists, and lost. Lesson: Do not allow treason, be prepared to arrest foreign spies and aristocratic and other traitors, and use censorship.

In 1941, Hitler and all his Western allies attacked the Soviet Union and was at first immensely victorious on account of Stalin’s inept leadership which had left his armed forces totally unprepared. The situation was turned around when Stalin handed over leadership to the military professionals who had been trained in the Tsar’s armed forces. Lesson: Be prepared for a treacherous attack and let military professionals deal with any aggression.

Russia has been successful precisely because it has learned the lessons of the past Western invasions of Russia.

4. Negotiations bring an end to wars.

Wars are not generally ended by negotiations, they end with victory and defeat on the battlefield, like the First and Second World Wars. The negotiations follow defeats.

  1. Russia is losing because it has scarcely taken any territory since 2022.

By far the biggest country in the world, Russia does not want any extra territory. It wants security guarantees. Its aims were clearly stated on 14 February 2022 and have not changed since then and the main aim was to destroy the Ukrainian military by attrition. This means avoid making frontal attacks and waiting to be attacked by the enemy. Defenders suffer less than attackers.

The dreadful conflict in the Ukraine is then a war of attrition. Wars of attrition, like the First and Second World Wars, continue slowly for several years, with little movement, and then end suddenly. Thus, the First World War ended in five months between July and November 1918 after four years of attrition before that, and the Second World War ended in eleven months between Operation Bagration in June 1944 and D-Day and the Soviet liberation of Auschwitz and Berlin in May 1945, after five years of attrition before that. Russia is no hurry in the Ukraine, on the contrary, the longer it takes, the more the West is weakened.

  1. Russia wants to occupy the whole of the Ukraine.

The Ukraine is an artificial state, formed by three tyrannical Communist dictators, Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev, who brutally stole parts of Russia, Poland, Hungary and Romania to form the present, Soviet-bordered, Ukraine. Russia wants to recreate the historic Ukraine, more exactly ‘Kievan Rus’, within its real borders. The models for any future Ukraine are therefore Federal and democratic Switzerland, its neutrality guaranteed in 1820 and never violated since, or, in the second half of the last century, Finland and Austria.

  1. The Ukraine is a viable state.

The Ukraine has been renowned for thirty-five years as the most corrupt of the former Soviet Republics, ruled by the thirteen oligarchs, mainly non-Ukrainian, and a country deprived of human rights. The Ukraine has for long been bankrupt and now has the highest death-rate and lowest birth-rate in the world. Viable?

  1. Russia is a non-democratic, authoritarian regime.

The Russian President has for 25 years always gained between 60% and 85% of the popular vote. The EU Commissioners are unelected and all the Western leaders, who are now trying to impose censorship, were chosen by oligarchs and elected by between only 20% and 35% of their electorates. Perhaps the real leader of the Free World is President Putin?

Next week Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople is having to visit the USA. Almost certainly he will be told to abandon his gangster church in the Ukraine. It is one of the Russian conditions for peace, to have a Church that the people recognise, and not a nationalist State organisation imposed top-down, which the people ignore.

 

The Big Three: Who Will Collapse First?

At the Yalta Conference in 1945, the USA, USSR and Great Britain were called ‘the Big Three’. In the multipolar world of 2025 ‘the Big Three’ means China, USA and Russia. But there are also ‘the Big Three’ of the Western half of Europe: Germany, UK, France. In Europe many small countries depend on their economies and politics and especially in northern Europe, they depend on Germany. However, today the Big Three are either bankrupt or nearly so.

Even an IMF ‘bailout’ for France and the UK is being proposed and Germany, self-deprived of cheap Russian energy, is on the same path. Others suggest that both governments must issue bonds, to be bought by some still unknown bank, which are essentially war bonds, as the last straw in their indebtedness has been their insane support for the lost Ukraine. In the case of France, bankruptcy could mean the collapse of the whole euro fantasy. This means that the organisations that depend on the Big Three (given the US withdrawal from Europe as a result of its own bankruptcy), the EU and NATO, will also go bankrupt.

At the present time the UK Starmer, the repressive puppet of the financiers of the City of London, is hated and protests against him are universal. I have even recently seen signs in the UK declaring ‘Trump for Prime Minister’. In fact, however, the German Blackrock financier and Chancellor Merz, is equally hated, as is the French Rothschild financier, Macron, also. Macron’s second minority government under Bayrou is likely to fall in a few days’ time. Which government will collapse first? At present, some predictions state that France, the UK and Germany, will fall and in that order.

And we are talking about a fall within the next twelve months. The solution being put forward by some is a war with Russia, the ultimate distraction from the real problems of those countries. This is absurd, given the fact that Russia has shown no intention of aggression against Western Europe (though Western Europe is in a very violent proxy war against Russia). Western publics, unlike the elites, do not want war against Russia and in any case the pathetic militaries of Western Europe would not last even a few weeks against the Russian armed forces. War against Russia is all fantasy.

In such a case, what is the future of the Western half of Europe, the EU27 and the officially non-EU vassals of the EU, like the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, the ‘Western Balkans’ and Moldova? The most likely outcome is a change of elites in favour of realistic and pragmatic leaders, who will make peace with the Eastern half of Europe, Russia, Belarus and the New Ukraine, or whatever the latter will be called.

Thus, the countries of the south-east of Western Europe, those of the former Habsburg and Ottoman Empires, from Austria to Cyprus, from Moldova to Albania, from Romania to Greece, geographically closest to Russia, are likely to become members of BRICS, making their peace with Russia and renewing relations with China through the New Silk Road. Indeed, this rapprochement is already happening, especially with Hungary and Slovakia, although the EU elite is trying to foment regime-change in Moldova, Romania and Serbia as well, as it is losing them too.

Next, the countries of the north-east of Europe, Finland, the three Baltic statelets, Poland and above all Germany and probably Switzerland, will have to make their peace with Russia and the two other East Slav lands, Belarus and the New Ukraine. They will be followed by the Latin south-west (France, Italy, Spain and Portugal) and even the at present Russophobic Germanic north-west (the Scandinavian Four, Great Britain, Ireland and the Benelux Three) will have to make their peace with Russia, though it will need their hated, US-trained and appointed elites to be replaced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Europe and the Ukraine: Away From Union and Towards Federation?

The Return to Normality through the Renewal of Multipolarity

The post-1945 Western/Globalist Order is over. It is dying at its own hands, by suicide, having voluntarily cut itself off from cheap Russian energy. True, Western Europeans still cling on to their imperial and colonial illusions and the relics of that Order, like NATO and the EU. However, in the USA, on which that Order depended, they have been realising that it is over. Thus, on 1 February 2025 the U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio finally admitted this shift in the global power structure, stating that the unipolar (=US-controlled) moment was an anomaly and that the international community is returning to its multipolar framework. That multipolar world has been ushered in by the BRICS Organisation, founded by Russia in Ekaterinburg on the 90th anniversary of the martyrdom of Tsar Nicholas who foresaw it, but it is ignored by Western Europeans who are stuck in the past. This means that the USA is now again just one of the Great Powers in the world, having been pulled down by its hubris that caused it to overreach and go bankrupt amid a string of political, military and economic defeats. Those defeats have finally helped it realise the new reality.

Bodybags of UK and US Corpses from the Ukraine at Lakenheath

I live under the flight path which runs between the very important US base at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, and Borispil, the main airport in Kiev. Flights overhead were very frequent in the second half of 2021. In October 2021 I saw why, when I visited Kiev again. I well remember seeing with surprise the massive numbers of NATO armoured vehicles and arms quite openly being unloaded and stored at Borispil in preparation for some new Kiev invasion of the Eastern Ukraine. These huge stores were among the very first to be destroyed by Russian missiles on 24 February 2022. Since then, flights from Lakenheath have varied in numbers according to the needs of NATO campaigning in its proxy war in the Ukraine, where the war is directed from the major US bases in Germany, in Wiesbaden and Rammstein. Last week a large US transport plane flew into Lakenheath from Kiev. According to someone I know well who works at the base, it was full of corpses of US and UK troops. These included those who had died after the Russian raid on Kharkov and their Special Forces raid on Ochakiv near Nikolaev, where three British operatives, officers and MI6, were captured.

Alaska Means Europe is Isolated

The bodybags in Lakenheath came against the background of the carefully-prepared meeting in Anchorage, Alaska last week. Russia only agreed to this, as Trump had promised to meet all the Russian conditions. We were reminded that, given Europe’s political, economic and military hostility to Russia, the latter no longer looks to Europe, but to Asia. As for the USA, given Europe’s political, economic and military irrelevance in today’s world, it too no longer looks to Europe, but towards Asia. We are reminded that even physically the USA and Russia are separated by only three miles, not by the Atlantic Ocean like Europe. Now it is Russia and the US versus old-fashioned Cold War Europe and the authoritarian puppet regime in Kiev. The old Unionist and aggressive Neo-Nazi Europe (the EU and UK elite) is isolated, only the inevitable and perhaps imminent fall of the already highly unpopular elites there can bring Europe back into the mainstream of the world. For the new USA and the new Russia are both set on finding a permanent peace that ends the proxy war, already lost by the West as Trump at least has realised, on the battlefield of the Ukraine.

Europe’s Shameful Decadence: The Fruit of Globalism and Liberalism

The Western European conglomerate (EU/UK/Kiev) is not only morally irresponsible (Globalism) but also morally decadent (Liberalism), like the ancient pagan Roman Empire. The leaders of ‘the Big Four’ (Germany/ UK/France/Kiev) are all said to be cocaine addicts. One of them certainly is, since the son of the former US President was one and supplied it in the Ukraine, where he lived. (He is also said to have done much worse than cocaine, but his laptop ‘disappeared’). Another is a senior agent for the US Blackrock financial company, which illegally owns much of the old Ukraine (and Germany). Another, a Rothschild banker, is said to be married to a man, who in any case is 24 years older than himself and whose relationship began when the future President was aged fourteen. And the final one, a ‘democrat’ who loves censorship and repression, is said to use Ukrainian male prostitutes and is in love with the Ukrainian dictator. The latter has been illegitimate since May 2024 and has banned the Church and all political opposition and opposition media. He was elected only because he promised to make peace, but instead made a disastrous war and ruined his country.

Europe Has No Cards To Play

It was clear that the USA had begged victorious Russia for the meeting in Alaska and that the Russian President only agreed to it because the US had at last understood Russia’s position and that the continuing war is now entirely the fault of the Kiev regime and its warmongering EU/UK backers. All the Western fantasies about a ceasefire, a frozen conflict, NATO ‘security guarantees’ and sanctions against Russia and its partners have disappeared. As the European vassals and warmongers, fawning on Daddy Trump’s ego, waited like schoolchildren in the corridor in the White House, Trump was teaching Zelensky a lesson about reality and giving him an exit strategy. All the talk that Russia is losing the war and has suffered huge losses is now known by the USA to be a mere ‘narrative’. If the bankrupt Europeans want to buy non-existent US arms with their non-existent money, they can still fantasise about that. The end of the war is in sight. There will be a new Ukraine, a much smaller one, with a democratic, federalised government and a free Church, and not ones imposed by the CIA and MI6. Europe’s problem is it wants peace, but refuses to negotiate.

Karma for Europe’s Double Standards

By psychological transfer the elite of Western European, founded on a millennium of genocide, accused Russia of ‘a full-scale, unprovoked’ invasion of the Ukraine. The Russian support for the liberation of eastern and southern Ukrainians from Kiev Fascism was small-scale and fully-provoked. Large-scale and unprovoked invasions, of Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, were, however, carried out, but by the West. The Western elite always uses Orwellspeak, using the opposites to describe others, thus, patriots are called traitors, traitors patriots, authoritarians are called democrats and democrats authoritarians, Fascist Ukrainians are called liberals, even men are called women and women men.  Today the only Soviet Union is the European Union: both were and are run by Western totalitarian ideology. All of this is happening against the background of the demographic crisis, which means, quite literally, that Europe is dying out: the young are mainly immigrants, for Western women have an average of only 0.8 to 1.5 children, the worst case being of course the Ukraine. This suicide is run by the elite, which encourages illegal immigration.

The European Elite Cannot Sell its Failure to its Electorates

The highly unstable and ever-changing European elite of politicians and journalists etc is extremely unpopular with its electorates. The people now vote for new, anti-Establishment parties (AfD, National Rally, Reform etc). None of the elite was elected by even 25% of its electorates, and they have painted themselves into an ever-shrinking corner. Last Saturday only five European leaders out of twenty-seven even signed an anti-Peace statement issued by the unelected EU – the coalition of the unwilling indeed. The senior European elite does not want peace, which is why it tries to prevent peace in Washington. Peace would mean that it has been wrong all along, as it was, and in part responsible for the deaths (or missing) of over 1.72 million Ukrainian soldiers and 120,000 ‘Russian’ (largely eastern Ukrainian) soldiers and civilians. And the elite is also responsible for the self-imposed economic crises in their countries, their crumbling infrastructure and mass poverty. That elite has refused time and again to even talk to Russia about peace. It wants war for its military contractors. Soon it will all be voted out by angry electorates and go into the dustbin of history.

The Evils of Dying Globalism

The Ukrainian battlefield was created by the movement of Unionism, the Globalist movement that reigns supreme in the EU and the UK, and reigned supreme in the USA until the end of last year, when ordinary Americans rejected it in their free election – that which is forbidden in Europe and the Ukraine. Although Trump is himself torn by what to do, he must act – the US faces bankruptcy. Peace could have come in the Ukraine at the outset, but it was forbidden by the EU/UK elite and the dark forces in the USA, who are now more and more excluded from positions of power. The US (Kerry) and Russia had agreed to peace and federalisation even in 2014, but the EU opposed it. Globalism and EU expansion to the Ukraine are the Unionist movements that caused the conflict. Western racism and moral bankruptcy are expressed in the words that the West intends to kill all to the last Ukrainian. The future is the federalised and decentralised BRICS world. This is the future for the New Ukraine, which will soon emerge in its new borders. For now, the EU/UK elite still clings on to past imperial power, failing to catch up with Russia and the USA.

Politicians Inside and Outside the Church Oppose the Catholicity of the Church

This conflict between Unionism and Federalism reflects the constant human rejection of the Divine Model of the Holy Trinity, of Unity in Diversity. That Model has always been rejected throughout history by one human extreme or another, by the forces that centralise and so create national injustices and resentments among minorities, and the forces that divide and so cause warring and sectarian factionalism and xenophobia. In this matter the Russian State is at last far in advance of the administration of the Russian Church. The Russian State founded the multipolar BRICS organisation, whereas the Russian Church has remained, like the Greek Church of Constantinople before it, stuck in its centralising, imperialist, one size fits all, past. In the case of the Russian Church, that centralising past is in Sovietism, in the case of Constantinople that centralising power is the old, and new, Cold War of the CIA, which has controlled it, ever since Patriarch Maximos V was deposed in 1948. All the living forces of the Church await the transfiguring breath of the Holy Spirit, Who will bring back the spirit of Catholicity – unity in diversity and long-awaited decentralisation.

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 Narcissism of the Western Elite

Motivated by hatred and jealousy, narcissists detest it when empaths tell them that empaths do not need them, as we know from experience. This is what has happened between the narcissistic US elite and the rest of the world, which includes tens of millions of ordinary US citizens. Although the US elite began its war against Russia in Kiev in 2014 and has continued it until 2025, Trump has hypocritically pretended to be an intermediary in order to arrange a ‘ceasefire’. In reality, as he does not know what he thinks, he is still just as much controlled by the warlike neocons as was Biden and the Trump of 2017-2020. Nothing has changed. In reality, he has utterly failed to reach any agreement. No amount of bullying, bluster and delusional thinking is going to change reality.

He failed even in exploratory talks about a mere ceasefire with Russia and the Ukraine (originally, he had, amazingly, promised ‘peace’ within 24 hours and then within 100 days). And he also utterly failed to reach a peace agreement with Iran, in which Russia would have been a genuine intermediary, Now the US still supplies Israel which continues its unending wars against Gaza, the Lebanon, the West Bank and Syria. His warships are even hiding from the Yemenis. Trump has also failed with China and the whole world on tariffs. Here he thinks that he holds a gun to their heads – but they hold a cannon in his back. His tariffs are only taxes on poor Americans who pay the US government for cheap imported goods because the USA is so deindustrialised that it can no longer make them.

Nobody in the tightly controlled Western media has mentioned why Trump wants peace in the Ukraine – it is simply because the US elite has lost its war there and is now trying to save face. Trump is simply hiding his defeat. True, the war should have been over within a few weeks, but the West through Johnson forbade peace. This meant that Russia had to fight all NATO, which is why this war is in its fourth year. For in order to fight the whole of NATO, the Russian military first had to be reorganised, renationalised, corruption eliminated and then a huge programme of voluntary recruitment had to be implemented. Thus, the partial privatisation of the Army to the treacherous Wagner organisation, led by the corrupt oligarch Prigozhin, had to be reversed and all reorganised.

Thus, several corrupt generals and officers had to be sacked and put on trial. After such a purge of the corrupt, the whole of NATO, its poor quality arms and its thousands of troops fighting in Kiev uniforms, has been defeated. The Russian Army is today stronger and larger than all the puny NATO armies put together. It has come back from far. In 2014 it was weak, underequipped and led by naïve leaders, who thought that the West was trustworthy and honest. Thus, by its interference in Eastern Europe, the West has thrown Russia into the arms of China. And that Alliance includes Iran, North Korea, India and other countries. It is unshakeable and the more the West threatens and bullies, sanctions and tariffs all those countries, the more unshakeable the Alliance has become.

Now the West is isolated against the rest of the world, the billion against the seven billion. The Western elite is now engaged in wars against the world, not a single one of which it will or can win. Trump has failed every time because, as a narcissist filled with hubris, he hugely overestimated both his own abilities to make deals and also hugely overestimated the prestige and power of the greatly weakened US. His man-child narcissism only reflects that of the US elite. This has now reduced itself to being a Regional Power, isolated against the rest of the world. We see that the world no longer needs the US. Nowadays we can all trade and live without it and without the conflicts it has created with the rest of the world. Disaster looms for Trump the narcissist, as for all narcissists.

The Gospels are full of narcissists. Only there those self-lovers are called pharisees. Full of their own pride and imagined superiority to others and attributing great importance to their external appearance, they loved to sit in the important places and be flattered by others. However, they were whitened sepulchres decomposing and rotting on the inside. Here is the warning to all elites everywhere, not least that in Western Europe, whose worst export to the Far West, the USA, was its delusional belief in its own superiority. In reality, elites are tolerated by history only as long as they serve. Here today, gone tomorrow. For the indispensable and exceptional Nation, just like indispensable and exceptional Western Europe, is now also dispensable and unexceptional.

What was the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, called a ‘Crusade’ by the US President, if not Fascism?

The European elites were responsible for the two World Wars, which were in fact European Wars that were made into World Wars. Europeans did this by spreading them and tricking the USA into taking part, flattering it into abandoning its Republic and becoming an Empire. It was the elites of the same three countries, Germany, Britain and France, which were responsible for these European World Wars.

Now they want to create a Third European/World War by expanding the war of the Collective West against Russia in the Ukraine, killing the Ukrainians ‘to the last Ukrainian’, as they openly and shamelessly boast. After all, the Ukrainians are only subhuman Slavs, as the spiritual grandfathers of these Europeans, Charlemagne and Adolf Hitler, declared.

The war of hereditary oligarchic Eurofascist Globalists, clustered around banking elites, against the Nationalists of Washington, Moscow and Beijing is in full swing. The unelected Eurofascist Commissars of the Brussels Politburo are opposed to any restoration of sovereignty to the countries they rule – as we can see with the case of unrealised and reversing Brexit – for that would be to end their power, which exists through enforced dependence on them.

Now the Eurofascists even want to bomb the international Parade celebrating our Victory over Fascism in Moscow on 9 May. What further proof is needed to show that they are Fascists?

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.

The Message of Ekaterinburg

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

Old Saying

Foreword: The Present

In English one who causes chaos may be called ‘a bull in a china shop’. Without wishing to pun, the current US President may be described as ‘a bull in the China shop’. His bullying, threats and then retaliation are like those of a spoiled child, who throws his toys out of his pram in a tantrum when he is contradicted. However, apart from tariff terrorism, he also threatens threefold military war – against Iran and Yemen, China in the ‘Chinese Ukraine’ of Taiwan, and Russia in the Ukraine. Some call his policies suicidal, some doubt his sanity, though these are his equally insane political enemies. US authority used to be based on three pillars: military, moral and economic might. Today, the first has been pushed over by Russian military superiority, the second by the US genocide in Gaza and the third by the economic might of China. Can the Temple still stand now?

If the ‘eccentric’ Mr Trump, whose slogan appears to be MMGA, ‘Make Me Great Again’, rules one part of the Collective West, what can be said of the other part, Western Europe? Here the sinister, pro-Nazi EU wants to raid the savings of EU citizens for a trillion euros for its forever war in the Ukraine, rigs elections in Germany and Moldova, bans the AfD, the most popular Party in Germany, imprisons the ‘far right’ (= Anti-Fascist) leader Le Pen in France, in Romania bans the priest’s son and future President, Calin Georgescu, so as to use the country as a base to invade Russia, just as Hitler used Romanians before, blackens Meloni in Italy and Orban in Hungary and tries to assassinate Fico in Slovakia. As for its ‘Big Three’ political leaders, Napoleon Macron, Blackrock Merz and Harmer Starmer, they seem to be squabbling for the crown of ‘Most Foolish in Europe’.

The Way Down: The End of the West

When I become Tsar, there will be no poor and unhappy people. I want everyone to be happy.

Tsarevich Alexei

Western hegemony is unsustainable, as we know from the huge accumulation of US deficit and debt, which are echoed in all Western European countries. The system has reached breaking point, it cannot go on any longer. This is why President Trump introduced tariffs, though they are not at all the solution and are instead threatening to collapse the US economy altogether, which is much smaller than the Chinese. The problem, after all, is caused by the US having lived far beyond its means for two generations and weaponising the dollar and its banking system against the rest of the world, policies enacted by US presidents for over five decades. Weaponising the dollar was a fatal error. At any moment, foreign investments in the dollar and US government bonds can be withdrawn, shattering the already weak US economy and causing a run on the dollar.

The Collective West, a mere 10% of the whole planet, has long lived off cheap Russian energy and cheap Chinese manufactures. It has now sanctioned Russia 30,000 times and the US has tariffed China by 145%. Both parts of the Western world now suffer suicidally from its own tariffs or sanctions – while 90%, the rest of the world, trades with one another normally, tariff and sanction free. As for Western Europe, it is ruled by degenerate colonial oligarchies, who live in a virtual reality, the delusion that makes them think that it is still the century before last. Its Empire is in reality determined by transnational banking corporations, whose anti-patriotic ideology is Globalism. To make matters worse, these Western European leaders have fallen out not just with European Russia and Asian China, but also with the new, post-2024 nationalist USA.

As a result, Western Europe, having squabbled with everyone, is now critically isolated. Although its leaders still maintain control of their captive populations through very tight censorship of their legacy media, intense surveillance and nightmare threats to the children of a bogeyman enemy, in effect, through Nazification and militarisation, there is ever greater polarisation between the rich 10% and the 90% of the rest within those Western European societies. Nevertheless, the decadent ruling elite, symbolised by a dying, divisive and perhaps even disbelieving Pope of Rome, is facing the growing possibility of a social uprising against its millennial control. The people laboured for 500 years under a feudal medieval con-trick, for 400 years under social control moralism and puritanism, and are now being zombified by their condescending elites.

As under Old Pagan Rome, so under New Pagan Rome, Western people labour under the rule of bread (consumerism) and circuses (the legacy media, ‘entertainment’ and ‘sport’). However, there is now a growing Sovereigntist wave of revolt, the revolt of the people, Populism against the Dystopian future offered by the Western Establishment, to the point where populations are starting to collapse. Fewer and fewer want to bring children into the Nazi world on offer. The Victory of Sovereigntism is the only solution if humanity is to survive in these countries. This Populism is already perceptible on the horizon in every part of the Western world, despite the imprisoning, slandering and persecuting of the leaders who oppose the Globalist ruling class. In some places, maybe first in violent France and Romania, this revolt may even turn violent.

The Way Forward: The Future

‘Today, we are fighting so that it would never occur to anyone that Russia, our people, our language, or our culture can be erased from history. Today, we need a consolidated society, and this consolidation can only be based on sovereignty, freedom, creation and justice. Our values ​​are humanity, mercy and compassion’.

President V.V. Putin, 2022

The Way Forward is in a World Alliance of anti-colonial peoples, a People’s Globalisation, founded on fairness and compassion. This is already here, the decentralising but co-operating BRICS, which already has 56% of the world trade. Its popularity and unity have been hugely reinforced by the incompetence of Western leaders, not least the US leader. Dozens more countries are waiting to join it, perhaps soon European Hungary, Italy and Spain, as well as other victims of Western colonialism of the past and its alphabet soup of UN, EU, NATO etc. Founded in 2009 in Ekaterinburg, the City between Europe and Asia where the Tsar and His Family were martyred ninety-one years before, BRICS has as its premier members Russia, India and China, the largest countries which were sabotaged or suffered humiliation under Western colonial manipulators.

From the eighteenth century on, the whole Indian Subcontinent endured its humiliation at the hands of the exploitative British elite; from the nineteenth century on, China endured its ‘century of humiliation’ from the Western world, symbolised by the anti-imperialist ‘Boxer’ rebellion between 1899 and 1901; and from the twentieth century on, the peoples of Russia endured their humiliation, from which they at last freed themselves only in 2022. Each time the humiliations included huge massacres of their peoples at the hands of Westernised materialists, in India by luxury-corrupted rulers, in China by Mao, and in Russia by Lenin and Stalin. Thus, BRICS began as an Anti-Colonial League, but it looks to a future together, of sovereign, independent, but co-operating peoples.  This is not Corporate Globalisation, but the People’s Globalisation.

Now is the time of the humiliation of the Western world. The West has failed to prevent Russia from freeing the peoples of the Ukraine from the Western-installed Nazi regime in Kiev. That regime was the unnatural extension of default Western European Nazism to the Eastern half of Europe, which eighty years ago valiantly and self-sacrificingly defeated the old Western European Nazism, at the cost of 27 million lives. After the defeat of the West in its proxy Ukraine, the peoples of Western Europe have been left with only one choice – to overthrow their Fascist elite and join BRICS as individual, respectful and respected nations, especially now that the USA is walking away from the imperialist Project Ukraine of its previous dementia. Already in Eastern Europe 75% of the population supports Russia, in Central Europe 65% and even in Western Europe up to 40%.

Hubris and Humility

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest those who are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and you would not!

Matt. 23, 37

The Marxists were installed with their materialist ideology by the Western Powers in Russia, after their useful idiots of aristocrats, generals and intellectuals had overthrown the old order and deposed the last Christian Emperor. It was after all from New York bankers that the order went out to murder the Tsar and His Family in Ekaterinburg in July 1918. The bankers feared only genuine Orthodox Christianity, the Orthodoxy of the Holy Spirit, of pastors and prophets, confessors and martyrs, not that of protocols and careerists, bureaucrats and politicians, who killed the prophets because the latter would not allow Jerusalem to be turned into Babylon. The bankers wanted to feudalise the peoples to enslaving finance. They tried to Sovietise the Russians and Americanise the Greeks, making both bow down to and worship pagan models.

Thus, the Russians were supposed to admire the Soviet-installed Patriarch Sergius and his followers, who like new Popes of Rome wanted to ‘save the Church’, by glorifying the atheist State and imprisoning the righteous in its Russian Vatican. And as for the Greeks, to their everlasting shame, they were bought out by the CIA-installed, American Patriarch Athenagoras through the power of the Almighty dollar, a model just as Western as a Russian Pope. It is time for Russians and Greeks alike to return to real Orthodoxy, to quit centralising bishop-politicians, who amass power and wealth and are wolves in shepherd’s clothing. It is time to return to the spiritual values of the New Martyrs and Confessors, to the pastors and fathers, who are shepherds in shepherd’s clothing and who denounce the wolves in their shepherd’s luxury camouflage.

The essence of the millennial barbarian Western ideology is Hubris. This is the fatal pride which believes that the Western world represents God on earth, arrogating to itself all that is Divine, giving itself the dogmatic right to lord it over the rest of the world, when in fact it is at best human, at worst devilish. From the Western Institutions of Papacy to Parliament and President, each Western European nation in turn went through this absolutist Nazi sickness that it is God on earth: the Papacy that preached bloody ‘crusades’, Spain that massacred in the Americas, France with its narcissistic Sun-King, Britain with its never-setting imperial sun that nevertheless set, Belgium with its massacres,  Germany with its racist Nazism, and the USA with its Global Empire. They all preached the same ideology that Might is Right, of their ‘rules-free international disorder’.

It is time to turn away from the Hubris of the Jerusalem that killed the prophets and stoned the envoys of God, silencing their voices for a while, and turn back to the Humility of old, which each people of Western Europe once had in the Lives and voices of its Saints, the followers of Christ. This means returning to Europe’s spiritual roots, to turn away from those who tried to conquer, exploit and oppress the rest of the world, justifying themselves like Bush by claiming that ‘God told them to do it’. These spiritual roots are those of the Old West, the Western Europe of the first millennium which followed the Light of the Son of God Incarnate in Asia. For the Saints what is Greatness? It is in His Victory over Death, not in power and riches. It is in the Civilisation of the Saints which is not the Civilisation of Death and Decay, but the Civilisation of Life and Resurrection.

The New World Order and Communion and Decentralisation

Foreword

I had a great interest in British and European history and geopolitics long before I started lecturing on these subjects at the ESSEC Graduate School of Business in Paris in the 1980s and 1990s. I suppose that I am probably one of the few Orthodox priests in the world who has also worked in lecturing in geopolitics and Western and Russian history. As such, I cannot help applying observations – and they are observations and not opinions – about the political world to Church life. Church life after all exists in the world shaped by politics, so the human side of Church life reflects politics, Cold War and post-Cold War. For example, the decentralisation or deglobalisation, now going on internationally, will be followed in Church life, though Church decentralisation originates from the model of the Holy Trinity, Unity in Diversity. But let us first look at the world and this process of momentous changes, which began with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and has now reached the highest political level in the USA.

Part One: The End of the Old World Order

The End of the Millennial Western Cycle

In the last millennium Western Europe gradually came to dominate the world, reaching an apogee in the British and French colonial empires of the nineteenth century, which controlled nearly half of the planet. (Indeed, quite anachronistically today, those two countries, which no longer have colonial empires, still have seats on the unrepresentative UN Security Council). Then, as a result of Western Europe’s twentieth-century suicidal wars, falsely dubbed ‘World Wars’, power passed to the USA and to the ‘Wild West’ in California. Now that the US has also failed to keep its supremacy because of its own countless lost wars, we are returning to the old multipolar, pre-Western Globalist world, a decentralised world, which is what the ever-expanding BRICS, founded in Ekaterinburg in Russia in 2009, is. BRICS exists because it is representative of the real world, unlike the unrepresentative UN Security Council. And BRICS has been hugely boosted by the rout of West in the Ukraine and now by Trump’s tariffs.

The Rout of the West in the Ukraine

The Collective West’s last attempt to cling to power was to try to hang on to its domination by fighting a proxy war in Europe itself, against Russia in the Ukraine. Once Russia had been ‘reduced to rubble’ by the West, as promised by the demented Biden in 2022, the plan was to destroy China. This is why the ‘West is Best’ Westerner, the discredited liar, Boris Johnson, rightly warned that if the West lost in the Ukraine, it would lose its ‘hegemony’, that is, its domination of the world. This is correct as the Western rout in the Ukraine is now obvious. The recent sight of ‘invincible’ German tanks burning in their scores in the south of Russia’s Kursk province, a repeat of the same German defeat there in 1943, tells us the outcome of that attempt. As a result of seeing this NATO defeat, the West has been divided and Trump’s bankrupted USA is walking away, recognising that that his resources are much too limited and the Ukraine lies in the Russian sphere of influence. The ball is in the court of ever-squabbling Western Europe.

The End of Western European Power

With the anti-diplomatic insults wielded by European politicians like Macron and Starmer against Trump (anti-diplomatic because diplomacy only exists where there is free speech, and there is no free speech in Western Europe today, which is why it now has no free trade), it is clear that Western Europe has little future. None of its war criminal leaders, guilty of the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, has more than 25% of support from their electorates. Thus, Trump marks the end of the globalist and centralist EU and NATO as he marks the end of centralisation. The EU elite is opposed to such decentralisation because it benefited the most from centralising Globalism, unlike the 90% at the bottom of their societies. That is why, for example, Brexit was supported by the bottom half of society and is opposed by the UK Metropolitan elite of politicians and journalists, who hate economic nationalism in favour of their self-interest.

The End of the EU and the UK

The West is divided. Europe collapses. Leading an authoritarian regime, the unelected EU elite, like the anti-Brexit UK elite, is based on top-down centralisation. European centralisation (‘unity’), like Europe itself, is artificial and depends on a European Deep State, a Superstate, an authoritarian EU or ‘Frankish’ (in the UK, it is not Frankish but Norman) Dictatorship. Thus, the EU is run by autocrats and commissars like von der Leyen. They are opposed to democratic leaders like Georgescu and Le Pen, trying to imprison them, and also to states like Russia and China, where leaders, who govern in the national interest, are very popular. (The only exceptions to unpopularity in Europe are pro-Trump leaders like Orban and Fico). As they say, Western countries are governed by different Parties, but by the same Policy and therefore the Parties are called the ‘Uniparty’. On the other hand, countries like Russia and China are governed by One Party, which changes its Policies in the national interest.

Import Tariffs

The irrational, plutocratic, narcissistic and even megalomaniac import tariffs of President Trump exist because he is the only one who has the courage to try and wipe out the huge US deficit and debt of $36.7 trillion, accumulated since 1991. Though the tariffs are not the solution, they mark the end of Globalism and US domination of the world, known as ‘Unipolarity’. Unipolarity began in 1991 after the fall of Bipolarity and the fall of the Marxist Soviet Union and rule by only one Power, the USA. These tariffs are not new. They echo the attempt by Great Britain to keep its Empire through ‘Imperial Preference’. Although the decline of the British Empire can be dated to 1878, Imperial Preference, that is, British Protectionism, was systematically implemented only in the 1930s. It failed. The introduction of Protectionism, through import tariffs or other anti-free trade measures, is a survival method which comes at the end of empire, when a country is on the way out, as is the USA, despite Trump’s fantasies.

BRICS: Decentralisation Defeats Globalism

As we have said, in 1991 the world moved from Bipolarity to Unipolarity and so Western-controlled Globalism. Today we are rapidly moving back to Multipolarity, which historically speaking is Normality, for Bipolarity and Unipolarity are historically abnormal, as we can see in India before 1711, China before 1839 and Russia before 1917. And today’s Multipolarity is embodied in BRICS, the Alliance of equal and sovereign countries, the model for decentralisation and anti-imperialism. BRICS, with half the world’s population and GDP, already has many representatives from the whole Non-Western world and dozens of countries are waiting to join it, and is led precisely by three of the world’s four largest economies, China, India and Russia. Thus, China overtook the USA in 2020, even on corrupted PPP figures, in reality, probably in 2008. India is fast catching up. And, at No 4, sanctioned Russia, which two years ago overtook Germany and then Japan, already has the largest economy in Europe.

Part Two: The New World Order

The USA versus BRICS

Today, the USA elite has isolated itself through imposing its bullying tariffs and united the world against it. All Afro-Eurasia’s 128 nations are uniting against it, despite resistance from the isolated, discredited and tariffed EU, former US allies, but now isolated from Russia, China and the USA. Thanks to the tariffs, the former enemies, China, Japan and South Korea, have met together. South-East Asia is drawing towards China. China is meeting Pakistan and Afghanistan. India is meeting Bangladesh. China and India are meeting together in friendship. Russia is meeting African countries. Powerful Indonesia has joined BRICS. Few of these countries need the USA, especially a USA which imposes tariffs on their goods. They not only can, but now have to, trade with one another. Even Western Europe and Anglosphere Oceania will be thrown into the embrace of China and, in the case of suicidal and much-weakened Western Europe, ironically, also into the embrace of the Russia that it once hated. How?

The Anglosphere

The US appear to be abandoning Africa and Western Europe with its EU and NATO, which Trump hates, but it is laying claim to Latin America, together with Greenland and Canada. In the Americas it is very doubtful if the USA can lay hold of Latin America or anything outside Northern America, that is, outside Greenland and Canada. It could, if it wished, probably and logically lay hold of the whole of the rest of the Anglosphere, the UK, Ireland (once both are divorced from the EU) and also Oceania, though with new elites. As for the rest of Western Europe, the suicidal old Western European elite must also be replaced, once the people have grasped that elite’s defeat in the Ukraine. This will mean the appearance of a new political governing class, drawn from the people, one which will respect others because it respects the people. It will mean introducing a democratic system, for the first time and respecting others, including Russia, which answers our question as to how Western Europe can embrace Russia.

England Versus Britain

Norman-founded Britain caused nearly a thousand years of continual violence, invading 171 of the world’s 193 countries, mainly since the seventeenth century, at war all the time, like the USA since 1941. But the Norman regime’s first victims were always the English, followed by the other native peoples of these Isles. Despite them and despite perceptions, parts of England still survive among the people, in the countryside, market towns and hidden places. True, films exist comparing the best of other countries with the worst of British England. This is as absurd as comparing the worst of others with the best of English England. True, the worst does exist. In Britain political instability has become the norm, with one minority authoritarian government after another, there is mass illegal immigration, caused by the Globalist elite, money is given to corrupt Kiev, parts of the health service are in a disastrous state, while potholed roads and litter-strewn pavements make parts of the country look rundown and third world.

Pessimism and Optimism

Thus, there are indeed good reasons for pessimism. And yet, England has been under threat since 1066, but we the English ‘plebs’ are still here, still alive, as are the Irish, the Scottish and the Welsh. The day of liberation of all of us and of our lands from the oppression of the British Norman elite is at last dawning. We all await liberation and the overthrow of British oppressors. A new political elite in the UK will also mean the end of pedophilia, which pollutes its politicians, economists, media like the BBC, the bishops and clergy of its strange Establishment Religion, founded by the sadistic maniac and thief, Henry VIII, and for centuries its queer German Royal Family. The fall of that perverted elite will be the end of the Norman Empire, whose first pervert was William Rufus. And he was only the first, which culminated in Victorian times, with Victoria’s children, and the stream of twentieth-century royal perverts, from the Duke of Kent, who died while crashing a plane in 1942, to the rotted Battenbergs.

Part Three: The Church

The Decentralisation of the Church and Communion with the Church

In May 1983, I asked Fr, now St, Sophrony (Sakharov) why heresy and schism are dangerous. He replied that danger comes from them because they are based on a lack of love. I learned from this that if you see a bishop consciously, self-justifyingly, and publicly falling into schism, and even condemning other Orthodox peoples in order to justify schism, you must leave him as soon as possible, unless you want to take part in his spiritual suicide, caused by his hatred of others and their views. In 2021 our alarm bells rang, when schism, falling out of communion after we had worked so hard and for so many decades to regain it, was implemented. We could not take part in it. So we all left. We do not regret obeying our conscience, indeed, we thank God that we escaped from that sin of hatred of others, which even the blood of martyrs cannot wash away. To fall into schism and so to fall out of communion with the Church is to be dreaded. Communion is the sign that we belong to the Church. And we do.

Communion and Decentralisation: Unity in Diversity

Schism is caused by excommunicating yourself from the Church because you are trying to enforce a politically-inspired, Papist centralisation. This can be seen very clearly in the present shameful schism between two of the most important Local Orthodox Churches, Moscow and Constantinople, which is a purely political combat about centralising power and gaining money. In the Church, unlike in the secular world in recent centuries, we have not Excommunion and Centralisation, but Communion and Decentralisation. If we have in our hearts and minds, as we should as Orthodox Christians, the Holy Trinity, Three in One, Unity in Diversity, there is no contradiction between Communion and Decentralisation. Like the Holy Trinity, Three in One, Communion and Decentralisation describe relations of Love. It is time for Moscow and Constantinople to respect other nationalities and other lands, decentralising without losing Communion, the sign that we belong to the Church. And we do.
