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

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

Henry Kissinger

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

The New World Order and Orthodox Christianity

Eurasia

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

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

Europe and the Rest of the World

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

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

Greenland

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

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

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

Europe’s Weakness

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

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

Orthodox Christianity

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

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

 

 

The Collapse of the Globalists?

Russia hoped for a swift end to the genocide of Russians in the Ukraine by demilitarising and denazifying the illegal and Fascistic Kiev regime. Instead, after April 2022 Russia was obliged by the West to demilitarise and denazify the whole of the West, changing its racist and imperialist mentalities. The latter had depleted its weapon stocks and treasuries, sending so much of what it had to Kiev. Today, at last, although Kiev is running out of Ukrainian men, Ukrainian men are running out of the Ukraine. They do not want to die for a corrupt oligarchic regime. Russian victory is coming.

As a result, the EU and the UK are now in crisis. The unelected head of the EU has again faced a vote of no confidence. The French government has collapsed again and its disruptive narcissistic President, the Rothschild Macron, may have to resign, to the relief of the people he has bankrupted and the Sovereignist National Rally Party. In Britain there seems only to be hatred for the puppet Starmer, the bankers’ candidate, chosen by the oligarchs mainly on account of his Jewish wife and children. The UK Opposition, the 200-year-old Conservative Party, has all but disappeared beneath the tide of the Sovereignist Reform Party. In Germany the militaristic Blackrock Chancellor Merz, is just as unpopular as Starmer and Macron, even though he is trying to forbid the German Sovereignist AfD Opposition.

In Italy Meloni looks as though she could be replaced by the Sovereignist Salvini. The new Polish and Czech governments are realists, not ideologues, and are gradually dropping their support for Kiev. A Georgescu government in Romania would have done the same, only it was banned by the EU, and the EU only won in Moldova because of its massive electoral corruption. Meanwhile, although corrupt pro-EU cliques are still in power in Armenia and Azerbaijan and UK elites are trying to corrupt Bosnia and Kazakhstan, the democratically-elected government in Georgia has held firm against the latest EU attempt at regime change. In Canada, there is repression, as in Switzerland and Britain, where they want digital ID. Authoritarian, police-state movements are in power everywhere in the West.

In the other part of the Western world, the still neocon-controlled USA, there is bankruptcy and chaos, with threats of disastrous new wars against Iran, Venezuela and the Russia – wars of fanatics on three continents at the same time. However, National Sovereignist (Populist) leaders are challenging the old post-World War II order, with leaders like Trump in the USA, Orban in Hungary and Fico in Slovakia. Thus, Orban has rejected the EU euro currency, as he considers that it is dead. For them the future of South-Eastern Europe is with BRICS. Many consider that both the EU and NATO are doomed.

 

Orthodox Pray in Our Own Church in Dublin

The Church of St John of Shanghai in Colchester was built in 1855 and is the largest wooden church in the British Isles and Ireland. St John’s is attended annually by 5,000 Orthodox of 25 nationalities. It has two altars, three priests of different nationalities, two deacons and Sunday attendance is between 200 and 400.  It is administered by the East of England Orthodox Church Trust (Charity No. 1081707), centred in the City of Colchester, which cares for our Deanery of seven multinational Orthodox parishes in Colchester, the East of England and beyond.

St John’s is a parish of the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, part of the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of Western and Southern Europe with its Synod of 7 bishops and over 900 parish churches and many monasteries. Our rapidly expanding Archdiocese  already has 108 priests and 17 deacons in 95 parishes and 5 monasteries, as Vladica Atanasie ordains our many candidates throughout Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Next to us, however, with Bishop Nectarie of Ireland and Iceland there are another 10 parishes and 15 priests and his Diocese has had wonderful news:

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.

 

 

 

A Shakespearian Tragedy of our own Times: 1995-2025

“Tis the times’ plague, when madmen lead the blind.”

William Shakespeare, King Lear

There was once a small but international US Corporation, whose CEO was a stern and uncompromising elderly man called V, who was the King Lear of his age. He lived in nostalgia for a disappeared past and did not want to recognise the new world that had emerged. He was so strict that he used to insult one of the frustrated, well-educated, go-getter young executives, who was called M. From that moment on, M began to plot with other younger ones how to get rid of V. V, who had suffered much in life, had difficulty with all this stress from the young and finally became overcome by dementia. At last, the young ones succeeded and M saw that triumph awaited him. All he had to do was to seize his chance.

True, they had to use violence to get rid of V, as he stubbornly refused to die, and at one point one of the young executives even tried to kidnap him. Nevertheless, V was gone at last, M’s personal grudge was satisfied, and all could be reshaped in his own image, as he had patiently been planning during his several years of frustration. Although patient, he could brook no contradiction. Now the other young ones, all rather weak and also disciples of M and whom he could manipulate at will, had their greedy eyes set on an alliance with another much bigger Corporation. They thought that an alliance with a Corporation 100 times bigger, which had long been resisted by V, would bring them all the big time and big money.

From this moment on, M and his team took over altogether. After all, M came from the upper echelons, he was the son of a Government Minister, he had completed higher studies and was very clever. He deserved power. However, M did not want to occupy the throne, rather he wanted to be the power behind the throne so he could pull the strings. The unpleasant task of occupying the throne could be fulfilled by his puppets. So he had L, a lovely, but elderly, poorly-educated, weak and malleable man, made the next CEO and an alliance with the big Corporation was made.

This alliance was supported by the vast majority, who worked for the small Corporation, though not because they sought power and riches like the executives. They were simply fed up with the isolationist antics of the past. Only a few really old or fanatical ones resisted. However, as the elderly L soon died, M replaced him with another puppet, this one, called H, was another lovely, but weak and malleable man. Now although H was scared stiff of M, he unexpectedly stood up to M in certain areas, wherever he could. M got very angry at this. How dare anyone resist him. M always eliminated anyone who resisted his high-handed and unprincipled ways and H had to bury the scandals for M.

Eventually, M got so angry that he began to undermine H, intimidating him and reinforcing his clique of young bloods, promising them even more power and riches. In this way the health of H worsened under pressure from the young bloods, who were led by and used by M. M began to sign all documents by autopen, behind H’s back. From this moment on, H was sidelined. In despair, H fell into dementia. Some days he knew his name, other days he did not, just like V before him. Then his physical health also gave way and he too died. H was replaced by M with another very weak character, N.

Much younger, N too was weak and malleable, just like L before him. In exchange for the flattering title of CEO, N had to take charge of all the scandals that M had been sweeping under the carpet for years. N knew that he was doing wrong, but his conscience was poorly developed and he was too weak to stand up for principles. Elsewhere, all were now waiting for the death of the by now elderly M, not least the big Corporation, with which M had allied himself. The big Corporation had for years been greedily and quite ruthlessly eyeing the valuable real estate of the small Corporation, like a tree with low-hanging fruit. They used to say there, a merger is OK, but ‘mergers have to be completed by acquisitions’, in other words, a single and unified administration, making the unneeded redundant.

They waited very patiently, as the small Corporation began to decay from the inside, as incompetent and greedy executives took over and argued among themselves. Disputes and scandals among the once young, but now ageing executives became ever more common. One scandal followed after another and court cases became frequent. When the rotten fruit fell, the big Corporation would take the lot. Outside the little Corporation, yet other Corporations waited alongside, as the sailors began to jump from the sinking ship of the little Corporation and were rescued and welcomed by them. Given the warm welcome, more and more jumped.

All could see what was going to happen, even M, who, now elderly, finally realised that his karma was coming: all his decades of intrigues had been for nothing. Death was coming and all his work would be swallowed up by the big Corporation. His little empire would be lost. It had all been labour in vain. Here was his Shakespearian tragedy, the tragedy of an old man, repeating the fate of V and becoming a new King Lear.

“Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.”

Fool, Act 1, Scene 5, King Lear

Then something quite unexpected happened inside the big Corporation….

Three World Wars For Nothing?

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

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

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

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

Introduction: Lives Destroyed By Futile Wars

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

Three ‘World’ Wars To Destroy Russia

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

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

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

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

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

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

After The Three World Wars

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conclusion: The New World Order

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

 

 

 

 

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

Introduction: Millennial Revolution

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

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

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

Trump

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

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

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

Europe

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

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

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

Conclusion: A Non-Western World Order

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

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

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

 

 

 

 

 

A Suggestion for the Future: The Church of the Western Lands

Foreword: Towards the Local Church

Following a recent post, some readers have asked me how I envision the shape of a future Local Church in Western Europe in concrete terms. You may read on for this, but only as long as you understand that my view may well be completely irrelevant. God creates the Church, human-beings do not. My first suggestion for a future new Local Church was made in 1988. It was thrown into the bin of an Archbishop, who suicidally had no vision and who literally considered that the Church should only ever use Slavonic or Greek in its services. He lost all the vital forces from his Archdiocese, including the present Metr Athenagoras in Belgium and his parishes there, as well as many others. Only the freemasons stayed with him from among the younger generation.

And yet this present proposition is based on the same one made 37 years ago. However, as the old Russian emigration has since 1988 died out and there has been mass emigration from Eastern Europe, it is also different. We have always navigated between the political extremes in the Orthodox Church. Since one extreme was, and is, Greek (racist, imperialist and still CIA-controlled) and another extreme is Russian (racist, imperialist and now nationalist-controlled), it is only natural that we in Western Europe should now be with the Romanian Church. In the last eighteen years this has become easily the majority Orthodox group in Western Europe, speaking a Latin language, in communion with all, and, in the mainstream, distant from both Greek and Russian extremes.

The foundation of a new Local Church presupposes that all Local Churches which have a Diaspora on the territory concerned are able to and wish to collaborate to grant autocephaly together. Therefore, our suggestion must presume that the Churches of Moscow and Constantinople have reconciled by the time that any proposition can be discussed. It also presumes that the splinters of the Russian emigration in Western Europe (one based in Paris, the other in New York, and neither now Russian in spirit at all) will have been absorbed into the Mother Church, once they have collapsed.

As one well-known and very experienced Russian Metropolitan from Moscow confirmed to me about a month ago: ‘It is inevitable that both parts of the Russian Emigration will fall into our hands, like ripe fruit hanging from a tree’. Of course he is right, it is inevitable and always has been, ever since 2007. Therefore, unlike one German ROCOR bishop who is extremely hostile to the Mother Church in Moscow and continually expresses highly critical and sectarian attitudes towards it, we believe it would be much better to be positive and contribute the real pre-Revolutionary heritage of ROCOR towards the new Local Church, instead of rejecting all others who have different customs.

The Suggestion

This new Autocephalous Local Church would cover the territories of the 412 million people and 21 countries of Western Europe, listed below and grouped into eight regions of on average some 50 million each. (We do not include here Eastern European Hungary and the three Baltic States with Finland, which will surely have their own two Local Churches, like Poland and Czechoslovakia, long before any of the eight regions of Western Europe below).

This Local Church would be composed of the at present 2,000 or so Orthodox parishes and monasteries and the seven million or so nominal Orthodox in Western Europe. There would initially be a Synod of 40 bishops (which is about the number of Orthodox bishops present in Western Europe today), led by the ‘Archbishop of Paris and All the Western Lands’. He would be in Paris, as this has long been the centre of most of the Orthodox jurisdictions in Western Europe.

Each regional Archbishop would be chosen from the Orthodox national majority of that particular region. The terminology used here is the Greek, in which an Archbishop is higher than a Metropolitan, who is in fact a Diocesan bishop (and called a Bishop in the Russian and Serbian practice), and a Bishop is in fact an assistant or vicar to the Archbishop or Metropolitan of his nationality, if there is one on that territory, or else he is simply a Diocesan Bishop.

A Diocese would usually be defined as about 50 parishes representing 25,000 practising Orthodox, indicating about 1 million practising Orthodox. These Dioceses would not initially be geographical, but ethnic, though with time, they could gradually become geographical. The total population is given for each region.

Afterword: Battling Against Exclusivism

There are those in the Church who unite and there are those who divide. The dividers are always exclusivists, but there are two different ways of being exclusive – racially and doctrinally. For example, the nationalist dividers will say such things as ‘Only Greeks are really Orthodox’ or ‘Only Russians have kept Orthodoxy’. In other words, they exclude all others on racist grounds and that swells their pride, as they of course belong to the ‘right’ nationality.

However, there are also those who divide by laying claim to alone possessing ‘the True Faith’, who exclude others by laying claim to an exclusive faith. Such love to be exotic and esoteric, using words like ‘temple’, ‘omoforion’ and ‘noetic’ for their pseudo-mystical cult, to be ‘more Orthodox than the Orthodox’. They spend their time digging trenches between themselves and other Orthodox, thus creating artificial divisions, for ever inventing new ‘teachings’ which are exclusive to them. This swells their pride, as they paint themselves even further into their ghetto corner. This has long been the temptation of some in ROCOR, especially the rebaptisers, whose hearts clearly lack love.

The uniters are those who do not pay attention to languages, for they are all only weak echoes of Divine language, or customs. We are Orthodox Christians, beyond nationalities. However, we are not abstract dreamers who promote some heady philosophy of intellectual theories and dreamy unfinished, because disincarnate, iconography. We are also down to earth, incarnate, and belong in our bodies to the places where we live and wish to have some influence to shape human reality there.

As long as credit is given to the exclusivists and they are put into power, there is little hope for a Local Church. However, today we are slowly moving towards a situation where the exclusivists are increasingly discrediting themselves. For instance, the same German bishop as mentioned above told the local Moscow Patriarchal bishop after the Russian reconciliation in 2007, who was rejoicing at unity, that, ‘No, we are not together, we are still enemies.’ Thus, we see that some of the greatest impediments to unity come from crazy converts, not only from Eastern European nationalists. And the crazy converts have merely used the canonical authority of the Russian Mother-Church in order to mask who they really are – sectarians and schismatics.

May God’s will be done.

 

10 May 2025: A Historic Celebration in London

After 75 years of presence, the Romanian Orthodox Church in Great Britain and Northern Ireland has been formed into an Archdiocese with its own Archbishop Athanasius/Atanasie (Rusnak). Aged 43, he is a Russian-speaking Moldovan, as we had hoped we would have, by background an engineer. He is highly educated, having studied in France and the USA and speaks five languages fluently (not through Google translate!). Archbishop Atanasie was previously bishop in Italy and has now been transferred here, to our great delight.

Vladica lives at the monastery in Stanbridge near Luton, where we have been many times and spoken to Vladica, in front of the photographs of his, and our, beloved spiritual fathers, Metr Kallistos (Ware) (Eternal Memory!) and dear Fr Raphael (Noica). Vladica calls Fr Raphael his ‘spiritual grandfather’, which is most interesting, as he was my spiritual father. This is logical, because Vladica is exactly a generation younger than myself, but we have the same spiritual and theological heritage.

The Archdiocese is part of the expanding Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of Western and Southern Europe, with its bishops in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Iceland and now Great Britain. In the last twenty years of intense immigration and missionary conversion of native people, it is now four million strong, and has many monasteries and convents. The Metropolia is led by the dynamic Metropolitan Joseph (Pop), who is respected internationally for his love of the monastic life, his knowledge, experience and pastoral wisdom. Its Synod of Bishops and network of parishes and monasteries is now the centre of hope for a future multinational Local Church of Western Europe.

On Saturday 10 May we celebrated the Divine Liturgy and Vladica’s Enthronement at our new St George’s Cathedral in Enfield in North London. Present were 14 bishops, Romanian, Moldovan and French, some 120 priests from the for now 90 Romanian parishes in this country and abroad. The Cathedral was packed, even though the Enthronement had to be by invitation only, as so many thousands wanted to come. The service was mainly in Romanian, but parts of it were celebrated and sung in English, as all realise that the use of English is essential in order to keep the children in the Church.

Present was Romanian Orthodox Trinitas TV, the Lord Chamberlain, representing King Charles, who so loves Romania and Romanian culture, as well as the Romanian ambassador, Dame Laura, whom we know very well. Old friends from the Serbian, Georgian, Antiochian and Greek Churches and from the canonical Russian Church under Bishop Matthew of Sourozh were present.  They all concelebrated, except for the latter because of the political dispute between the Russian Church with the Greek Church, one of whose bishops concelebrated, but he did take communion with us.

Fortunately, despite its dispute with the Greek Church, the canonical Russian Church is in full communion with the Romanian Church. The Sourozh group recognises the sacraments of other Orthodox, unlike the schismatic Russians, who tried to steal and close our church (when it remained open in faithfulness), actively slandered us and made death threats. Why other Russian Orthodox bishops tolerate such behaviour remains a mystery, though the schismatic and violent ‘Russian’ has had to be restrained by the canonical Russians.

The Romanian and Moldovan Diaspora in this country now numbers over one million and the Church is growing rapidly, with many ordinations of properly qualified and educated, seminary-trained young men to the clergy. More are now training at the largely Romanian-run Theological Institute in Cambridge, including three more candidates from our ever-expanding Colchester parish, as well as in the Romanian Institutes in Paris and Rome. Within a few years, there is no reason to think that the total number of parishes, each of which is already attended by hundreds every Sunday, will not grow to several hundred.

Just in the last few weeks, large churches have been bought in Southampton in southern England and in Dundee, in Scotland and consecrations are going ahead. The Church is young and energetic, as witnessed to by the vibrant Cathedral choir, there are many children, and the average age of clergy and people is about 35. Many, especially women, dressed in national costume for the celebration. Although in Colchester we do about 150 baptisms a year, another parish does 1,000 a year. After the celebration all the priests were awarded a pectoral cross and certificate/gramota in honour of the event.

Afterwards, 300 of us, including ‘the Colchester Diocese’, as we are known(!), attended the reception at a Romanian-owned hotel complex with large grounds, situated in Elstree. We had a very nice dinner at 4,00 pm and were able to talk to several bishops, including the new young Moldovan Bishop Benjamin, and learned many interesting and positive things, especially from Metropolitan Joseph, who is so kind to us.

Vladica related to us events at the consecration of the new Serbian bishop in Paris last year. (I studied at seminary in Paris with the former Bishop, the now departed Bishop Luka in the 1970s. Eternal Memory!). We were very touched by the words of Archbishop Atanasie who said to us: ‘Thank you for everything you do for us’. These words rang in our ears. It is clear that we will be able to continue to help the Romanian Church with liturgical texts in English, as we have already done over the last ten years, as well as with the many Ukrainians and Russians who come to us, refugees in search of a non-political Church.

Having set out at 5.00 on Saturday morning, we returned home at 10.00 in the evening, very tired, but very happy on this historic day. We now look forward to Vladica’s visit to us on All Saints Day, 15 June. The Church moves forward by leaps and bounds, in the mainstream of the Orthodox Life, as we look forward to the future, away from the petty nationalistic and ideological political disputes of others in the past.
