Ukraine: Russian intelligence is outsmarting the West

In recent news, private diplomatic phone conversations between key officials dealing with the Ukraine crisis have been released on YouTube.

The first instance was a "secure" phone call between US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and the US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt in which Nuland infamously said, "F**k the EU!":



Yesterday another phone conversation was released via YouTube, this time between Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Urmas Paet and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton. This conversation features the Estonian Foreign Minister referring to the possibility that the snipers who fired on EuroMaidan protesters might have been instigated by EuroMaidan leaders (so he was 'told by someone in Kiev' during a recent visit there):



While the masses will be obsessed by the salacious details and potential implications of these released high quality intercepts of private phone conversations, the real questions that should come to mind most likely won't be popularly contemplated.

First off, how did Russian/Ukrainian intelligence acquire these intercepts?

The intercepts were clearly cherry-picked to serve Moscow's 'conspiratorial worldview' from what is presumably an ocean of communications surveillance available to the Kremlin. This worldview holds that the EuroMaidan uprising and government takeover in Ukraine was covertly backed and facilitated by the EU and US to further isolate Russia, and Western secret services are so evil they had assassins murder EuroMaidan protesters to foment the public outrage that seemingly caused Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovich to flee office on February 21st (of course, such brutality is characteristic of the Russian secret services rather than U.S. intelligence agencies worried about violating human rights).

Here's the problem with all this.

If Ukrainian and Russian intelligence services are able to gather sensitive communications like the ones leaked, how did the EuroMaidan "plot" ever succeed in taking control in Kiev? Every EuroMaidan move and plan should have been easily tracked and countered.

Yet, President Yanukovich and the secret police never even bothered to pull the plug to the giant, well-lit stage - big screen, professional sound system and all - in the middle of Independence Square in Kiev around which the EuroMaidan demonstrators rallied themselves:

What's more, police were never ordered to protect key public buildings from being "taken over" by EuroMaidaners such as Kiev's city hall and, more importantly, the Regional State Administrative (RSA) buildings throughout Ukraine.



After all, it was the takeover of the RSA's that was used to symbolize how the EU-backed EuroMaidan movement took over Ukraine from the elected government of Viktor Yanukovich:

Yet, the RSA building "takeovers" seemed to be facilitated rather than countered by authorities in the Ukraine. Why is that?

What's most troubling about the release of the two phone conversation intercepts recently is, at this point Russian intelligence apparently believes it's OK to show their hidden hand:

Still, the Nuland–Pyatt leak doesn’t just tell us about U.S.-EU relations. It affords us a deep insight into the intelligence modus operandi of the Russian government.

....Where Western intelligence services like to remain in the shadows — away from the public gaze (mostly) — the Russians use intelligence operations to build their reputation and in doing so assert Russian strategic interests. The Russians are aware that by leaking this phone call, they’re broadcasting their success in intercepting sensitive communications. They’re also teasing the State Department with a more subtle message — “You don’t know how long we’ve been listening, or where else we’re doing so.” Of course, it’s possible that the U.S. recently discovered the Russian operation and stopped it and that the Russians therefore felt they had nothing to lose by going public. However, assuming that wasn’t the case, by showing their hand, the Russians indicate that they are aware the U.S. will now move to harden its communications. In essence, by advertising their theft from this intelligence gold mine, they’ve knowingly allowed the U.S. to better protect it.

Presumably Western intelligence has been shocked to discover that Moscow's surveillance capabilities are what they are. That Western intelligence is far behind the curve versus Moscow is well reflected by how Russia's move on the Crimea came as a surprise:



The truth is that Western intelligence has been out-to-lunch regarding the Russian threat since soon after the 'Cold War ended (really?)':



The concern here is that, if Moscow is now willing to compromise its surveillance capabilities, it suggests the Kremlin believes this particular strategic advantage won't be needed for much longer. Why would that be?! You'd think Russian intelligence would want to keep listening in undetected as long as possible.

Consider this:

Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany told Mr. Obama by telephone on Sunday that after speaking with Mr. Putin she was not sure he was in touch with reality, people briefed on the call said. "In another world," she said. [New York Times, 3/2/14]

Here's a clue.

Have you noticed the Orthodox Christian priests that keep showing up in scenes from the Ukraine?

This is telltale.

Vladimir Putin is in another world alright....he and his Kremlin cohorts have been for decades....it's the world of Russian nationalism (what I call "theo-fascism") centered around the "Russian Idea". He revealed as much late last year in his Message of the President of the Russian Federation to the Federal Assembly, Moscow's equivalent of the American State of the Union address, when Putin quoted Nikolai Berdyaev, a Russian ideologue famed for his 1946 treatise on "The Russian Idea":

"And we know that there are more and more people in the world, who support our stance on the protection of traditional values, which over thousands of years have been the spiritual and moral foundations of our civilization, of all peoples: traditional family values, genuine human life, including religious life—not only material, but also spiritual life, values of humanism and diversity of the world.

Of course, this is a conservative stand. But, according to Nikolai Berdyaev, the meaning of conservatism is not that it impedes movement forward and upward, but that it impedes movement backwards and downwards—to chaotic darkness and the return to a primitive state.

Over recent years we have seen that attempts to impose a supposedly more progressive model of development on other countries have in fact turned into regression, barbarity, and great bloodshed."

What is the "Russian Idea"?:

Russia's Mission

The Russian Idea proceeded....from the belief that the contemporary world was suffering from a global spiritual crisis 'carrying humankind headlong toward catastrophe' (in the words of a present day prophet). It pointed to the inability of the secularized, materialistic and cosmopolitan West to come to grips with this crisis, whose historical source lay in the secular Enlightenment: in the West's rejection of religion as the spiritual basis of politics and in its inability to realize that not the individual but the nation is the foundation of the world order conceived by God; that 'humankind is quantified by nations'.

The Russian Idea pointed to the providential role of Orthodoxy, as uniquely capable of pulling back the world from the brink of the abyss, and to Russia as the instrument of this great mission. While the Russian Idea rejected the 'government's interference in the moral life of the people' (the police state), it also denounced the 'people's interference in state power' (democracy). To both of these it opposed the 'principle of AUTHORITARIAN power'. The state, it taught, must be unlimited because 'only under unlimited monarchial power can the people separate the government from themselves and free themselves to concentrate on moral-social life, on the drive for spiritual freedom'.

The Russian idea did not acknowledge the central postulate of Western political thought concerning the separation of powers (as the institutional embodiment of the neutralization of vice by vice). Instead, it advocated the principle of separation of functions between temporal and spiritual powers: the state guards the country against external foes and the Orthodox church settles the nation's internal conflicts....It cherished the ideal of the nation cum family, requiring neither parliaments, political parties, nor separation of powers. Like the family, the nation would have no need of legal guarnatees or institutional limitations on state's power and its focus should not be the rights, but rather the obligations of its members. The nation's conflicts, according to the Russian Idea, must be reconciled by spiritual, rather than constitutional, authority.

The ideal of the nation as family presupposed the need for salvation from the sinful influences of the 'street' (the West) and, consequently, from a spiritual rebirth and a moral revolution. In the course of this Russia would return 'home' to its pure rural roots, to the tsarist Rus'...

(Excerpt from Yanov's The Russian Challenge, pp.24-25)

You see....the Kremlin (which is a fortress for Russia's executive church and state buildings) has in mind establishing a "kingdom of god" on earth or, more so, a totalitarian, Stalinist "tsardom" where the "czar" (Caesar) is god's holy, annointed king - the holy Muscovite emperor of the "Third Rome" - i.e., christ incarnate.

To further understand what the "Russian Idea" is about, please read the articles on the right side of this blog under my profile with the heading, "The Psychotic 'Russian Idea'".

Thus, there truly is a diabolical logic to Putin's seeming madness, and it's well represented in THIS VIDEO.

And the world's concern is focused on the mullahs in Iran?!

"If we presume the coming transformation of the Communist Party into the Russian Orthodox Party of the Soviet Union, we would obtain truly the ideal state, one which would fulfill the historical destiny of the Russian people. It is a question of the Orthodoxization of the entire world." - Gennadii Shimanov, as quoted on the opening page of Alexander Yanov's "The Russian Challenge and the Year 2000" (1987)

Shimanov did not emphasize the mystical aspects of Christianity; for him, as is typical in a fundamentalist outlook, religion was but an instrument of proper social organization and a code of behavior. In Shimanov’s view, religion was designed to be a substitute for the Marxist ideology as a method of better organizing of the society. Like other fundamentalists, Shimanov believed that God had a decisive influence on politics and that the Soviet state had been predetermined to accomplish some universal mission; it was nothing less than “the instrument for making the millenary kingdom on the earth.” On the one hand, Soviet communism revealed the fallacy of “old Christianity,” unable to realize its principles in practical life and therefore consigned to oblivion. On the other hand, the USSR brought a principally new type of the “ideocratic state” to the world; this was the state that perfectly met—at least in theory—the requirements of a society of true believers. The core of the Soviet system was the omnipotent Communist Party, permeating every single cell of the society, and therefore capable of carrying out an independent policy, free of selfinterests and the “rabble’s whims.” In principle, this provided an opportunity to transform the Communist Party into the “Orthodox Party of the Soviet Union,” and, consequently, to create a “truly Christian community.” In this way, Shimanov actually tried to justify the Soviet regime, claiming that it was “God’s instrument.” - Mikhail D. Suslov in "The Fundamentalist Utopia of Gennady Shimanov from the 1960s–1980s"

"An empire of the Orthodox Balkan peoples together with the empire of Holy Russia - not the present marxist, un-Russian Russia, but Holy Orthodox Russia - can bring happiness to all mankind and realize that mystical millennial kingdom of peace on earth, which appeared in a vision on the island of Patmos to that glorious apostle and visionary, St John the Evangelist. For that Millennium has never yet been made a reality in the history of the world, and what has been destined by God, must become a reality. Who will make it a reality if not those who up to the present day have been the most martyred and reviled, carved up and downtrodden, i.e., the Slavs and the other Orthodox Peoples?" - Serbian Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich (1880-1956) in "A Treasury of Serbian Orthodox Spirituality"

"My feelings tell me that someday a Slavic Orthodox tsar shall take the socialist movement in hand and, with the blessing of the Church, set up a socialist form of life in place of the bourgeois one. And this Socialism will be a new and severe....form of slavery..." - Konstantin Leont'ev

Note that Vladimir Putin became Russia's "president", in effect the new "annointed czar" (read: Caesar) of a resurgent "Holy Russian Empire", with the start of the third millenium (i.e., he became acting president on New Year's Eve in 1999)

. This is symbolic in that Putin "rose to power" and the Russian empire began to rise again on the prophetic "third day" just as Christ rose again 2000 years earlier:

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. [2 Peter 3:8]

Oh...


And then the lawless one will be revealed,
whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
[2 Thessalonians 2:8]

Staging World War Three: First Kiev, Now Kharkiv?

"History is a capricious creature. It depends on who writes it." - Former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev

"The events witnessed by our country and the whole world are an example of a coup d'etat." - Former (?) Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych



My guess is that the world is now about to witness a popular revolt and bloodshed in Kharkiv, Ukraine in the wake of the apparently successful popular "EuroMaidan" revolution in Kiev.

Why?

One reason is that riot police shields were being distributed to demonstrators there this evening as can be seen in the following video (particularly toward the end it's clear this crowd is not police):



When demonstrators in Kiev started to appear with riot police shields, at least it could be explained by prior scuffles where shields might have been torn away from police:

As for Kharkiv, the story is being set ahead of time.

Another telltale sign that trouble is about to unfold in Kharkiv is a large stage has been setup for demonstrators similar to the one in Kiev's Independence Square:

I presume authorities, as in Kiev, will fail to cut the power to the lighting and speaker system in a timely way for whatever is planned in Kharkiv.

Finally, Since Kharkiv is a city split evenly between Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking peoples that lies just 24 miles from the Russian border, it's reasonable to guess that its the location selected by Moscow for a flash point between East and West.

That this is where the Ukraine crisis is heading can be surmised from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's conversation with the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry today:

Russian Foreign Minister telephoned U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday and complained about ongoing violence in Ukraine, blaming the opposition for it.

"Lavrov drew [Kerry's] attention to the fact that, after the signature on February 21 of the agreement between the Ukrainian government and opposition, the situation in that country deteriorated sharply because of the inability or unwillingness of the opposition forces to respect the terms of the agreement, which had been concluded with the active participation of Germany, Poland and France," the ministry said in a statement posted on its website, www.mid.ru.

"The illegal extremist groups refuse to surrender their weapons and are de facto taking control of Kyiv with the connivance of the opposition leaders in the Verkhovna Rada [parliament]," it said.

"The Russian minister reminded the secretary of state that this issue was discussed in detail in yesterday's telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama, in which the Russian President called upon the American leader to make use of all resources to prevent illegal activities by radicals and bring the situation back into the constitutional framework," the statement said.

"Kerry reaffirmed the United States' loyalty to the agreement of February 21 and promised to make urgent use of Washington's means of pressure on the opposition," it said. [KyivPost]

So you see....whatever happens from here on out in the Ukraine is the West's fault because President Barack Obama is able to tell the protesters and Ukrainian members of parliament what to do. Of course, one question is: Who told Ukraine President Yanukovych to leave Kiev right after signing his agreement with the opposition? Certainly this facilitated the collapse of his government today.

Notably, one would think the foreign ministers of Germany, France and Poland would have been a little more prudent when invited to negotiate the February 21st agreement between Kiev protesters and the Yanukovych government. After all, Moscow's trying to paint the picture that the civil unrest in the Ukraine is the fault of the "imperialist" EU and US, so why act directly on behalf of the Kiev protesters and fulfill that story line? Of course, this is why these Western representatives were invited to negotiate on behalf of the demonstrators in the first place, i.e., to cement the West's culpability for whatever comes next.



The problem is, Western intelligence and leaders are too stupid to realize they are being played.

And if you don't think stupidity is essential to believe what the world is being told about events in the Ukraine, just consider how the Ukraine's parliament unanimously voted to remove Viktor Yanukovych from his presidency today. Really? The entire parliament switched to the "EU"-side of the EuroMaidan demonstrators just like that?!

It's remarkable how gullible this world is. I imagine Vladimir Putin and his satanic cronies are very thankful for everyone's mindless cooperation in their own destruction and subjugation.

I choose to resist...

Kremlin Astrology: Third World War to begin in February/March of 2014?

"Astrology is a quite serious science. It helps us launch spacecraft, missiles; we use it broadly to forestall suicides among the personnel. Experience shows it is unreasonable to reject it. Our estimates and forecasts are usually corroborated up to 70-75 percent." - Viktor Yakovlev, Commander of the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces

"Believe it or not, every three months a summary of astrological prognoses predicting the place and date of future extraordinary occurrences is sent from the St. Petersburg Naval Scientific Research Institute to the Russian Defense Ministry's General Staff." - Komsomolskaya Pravda; January 21, 1998

In March 2011, a rather curious article appeared in Pravda (the Russian word for "truth") dubbed, "Third World War to begin during Winter Games in 2014". Here's an excerpt:

On March 24, well-known Russian astrologists, shamans and parapsychologists gathered to discuss forecasts for near and distant future.

....

The participants of the meeting....unveiled the date for the beginning of Third World War. The new war is said to begin in March of 2014, during the Olympic Games in Sochi. It is also possible that the war may start five days after the Games end. Globa did not say in which country exactly the war would begin.

Jeff Nyquist, former columnist with WorldNetDaily.com and FinancialSense.com, examines this article and its potential implications on his web site:

Predicting World War III – Part One

Commentary of 20 January 2014

A friend in Europe reminded me that on 24 March 2011 a group of “well-known Russian astrologers, shamans and parapsychologists gathered to discuss forecasts for the near and distant future.” Since almost nothing of importance in Russia occurs without the state or the FSB having a “finger in the pie” (so to speak) it is worth taking notice of Russian predictions – whatever the source. Readers are directed to the 2011 Pravda.ru article titled Third World War to Begin during Winter Games in 2014. A wise man once said, “Never make predictions, especially about the future.” Indeed, the article contains predictions that obviously did not come true. Anyone who monitors major predictions about the future will find a very poor track record in 99 out of 100 cases. What is most curious, however, is that “participants” of the aforementioned 2011 meeting offered up a date for the beginning of World War III that already has some of us jittery.

According to the article war supposedly begins in March 2014, during or shortly after the Olympic Games in Sochi. Since there have been bombings in Russia, and since Russia has threatened to take unspecified actions against Saudi Arabia if terrorists bomb the Sochi games, there may be reason to worry. We know that supposed Islamist terror bombings in Russia have, in the past, been carried out by the FSB along with other “false flag” operations. We know that Saudi Arabia is the key to the West’s oil lifeline. Is Russia setting up a pretext for war?

In the case of the assembled astrologers and parapsychologists in Russia, how did they arrive at the March 2014 date for the start of World War III? The best predictions are often made by those who have sources on “the inside.” If an astrologer is trying to boost himself, wouldn’t it be prudent to have friends in the special services or General Staff? After all, such predictions would greatly strengthen the livelihood of any self-respecting astrologer or parapsychologist. Therefore we may ask if the Russian astrologers are merely reflecting an open secret within Russia’s ruling circles. As it happens, an answer to this question is ready at hand. I received a note from a practicing non-Russian astrologer about the March 2014 time frame for World War III. Apparently, in the lore of astrology, March 2014 looks rather frightening. My notion of “insider information” is therefore unsupported.

MORE...

As for what specifically these Russian astrologers are looking at, SineWave Astrology offers the following commentary:

....there is a long series of these type of triggering configurations occurring from the summer of 2013 through the spring of 2014 which will make this the most intense and eventful phase of the entire forecast period. On top of the ongoing Uranus/Pluto square, which is exact again in October of 2013, Jupiter turns retrograde in November, just as Saturn reaches the mid-point of Scorpio and as Mars enters Libra - more indicators of stress, strain, upheaval and turmoil. What's more, Venus also turns retrograde in December, and then, in January of 2014, Jupiter is opposite Pluto while Mars is square Jupiter. Then Jupiter is square Uranus in February followed by Mars turning retrograde March. And all of these negatve astrological indicators culminate in an explosive climax in March and April of 2014, with the formation of a highly explosive and disruptive Grand Cross in the Cardinal signs between Mars, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto.

The Grand Cross in March and April of 2014 is especially violent in nature because Mars is retrograde in Libra, a classical astrological sign of war, while also square Pluto, also retrograde - perhaps the most powerful explosive and disruptive astrological combination possible, while joined by the also very negative squares and oppositions of Jupiter and Uranus - a very rare and tumultuous combination.

MORE...

While the scientifically-minded dismiss such astrological prognostications as fantasy-prone nonsense, there is reason to be concerned. What if the Kremlin is shaping history according to astrology? I've been warning about this possibility for more than two decades in my Kremlin Astrology posts on the internet:

Since the radical transformation of the Soviet Union kicked off with Gorbachev's rise to power in 1985, world history has been unfolding according to astrology in a profound and blatant way. While some may dismiss the correlation between significant astrological configurations and important historical events as mere coincidence or because of the mystical power of the stars, there's reason to believe there's more to the story than that. Indeed, one might conclude that leaders from from totalitarian powers in the East, led by Moscow, are intentional shaping history according to a multi-year plan guided by astrology....similar to what Hitler did in planning his military campaigns in World War Two (see, for instance, Wilhwelm T. Wulff's 'Zodiac & Swastika; How Astrology Guided Hitler's Germany', 1973). Ultimately, I believe an objective of the long-term plan unfolding is revealed by the initial event that was apparently timed according to a related symbolic astrological event: Chernobyl (see below). The world is being misled into a nuclear third world war through which Russia and its allies hope to wrest control of the world. That the Kremlin is so audacious as to carry out its historical machinations according to astrology indicates of just how megalomaniacal Russia's ruling elite have become.

Is Moscow planning to stage something horrible for the upcoming Sochi Winter Olympics or soon thereafter?

Let's hope and pray not, but there's good reason to watch out.

Boris Berezovsky Assassinated By Putin?

From the U.K. Telegraph article, "Assassination fears over death of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky":

Boris Berezovsky was discovered dead yesterday afternoon at his home in Berkshire.

Early this morning police said they had called in specialist officers to investigate whether he had been killed by a chemical or biological agent or by radiation.

A cordon was put around his home last night after his body was discovered by a bodyguard. Reports from Russia said he was found in the bath at his house in Ascot.



Thames Valley Police said they had called in Scotland Yard and other experts and had kept the 67-year-old’s body in place as the investigation began.

Did Boris Berezovsky fall victim to an assassination ordered by Vladimir Putin?

Berezovsky, an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, had long feared for his life and had survived repeated assassination attempts — although none in recent years. He had been due to be a witness at the inquest next month into the death of Alexander Litvinenko, the former KGB spy who was murdered in 2006 after being poisoned by radioactive polonium-210 in what is believed to have been a Kremlin-sanctioned assassination.

Billionaire Boris Beresovsky was a close friend and confidante of Alexander Litvinenko, my associate who was assassinated with radioactive Polonium by the Russian secret services in 2006.



In 2005, I started up and ran the Litvinenko Chronicles at the Final Phase forum after learning that Litvinenko, a defector from the FSB who sought refuge in the U.K., had revealed what I long suspected, i.e., that al Qaeda is a Russian-run proxy for Moscow's long-standing program of international terrorism.

The number two person in the terrorist organization al Qaeda, who they are crediting with the series of explosions in London, Ayman al-Zawahiri, is an old agent of the FSB. Being sentenced to death in Egypt for terrorism and hunted by Interpol, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in 1998, was in the territory of Dagestan, where for half a year he received special training at one of the educational bases of the FSB. After this training he was transferred to Afghanistan, where he had never been before and where, following the recommendation of his Lubyanka chiefs, he at once ... penetrated the milieu of bin Laden and soon became his assistant in al Qaeda...

....I can definitely say that the center of global terrorism is not in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan or the Chechen Republic. The terrorist infection is spread worldwide from Lubyanka Square and the Kremlin cabinet. And until the Russian special services are outlawed, dispersed and condemned, the terrorism will never stop: bombs will blow up and blood will be shed. Terrorism has no expiration date.... I would like to repeat, that all the terrorists, whom I have named, were supported by the heads of the Soviet and Russian special services - Yuri Andropov, Vladimir Putin, Nikolay Patrushev and others. These people are the main terrorists.... And until we condemn them ... global terrorism will continue.

I believe it was this revelation in particularly that cost the FSB defector his life.

Boris Beresovsky was Alexander Litvinenko's benefactor who provided the defector a home and helped produce the following documentary based upon Alexander's book: "Blowing Up Russia: Terror From Within":



In Alexander Litvinenko's book and the above documentary, the case is clearly laid out that Vladimir Putin's rise to power was paved with the blood of hundreds of innocent Russians murdered in the 1999 apartment bombings in Russia which were blamed on Chechen rebels but actually carried out by the FSB.

If you find it difficult to fathom that Russian secret services were behind the brazen assassination of Alexander Litvinenko, the 1999 apartment bombings in southern Russia and acts of international terrorism including 9/11, then I suggest you examine the following video showing Russian troops shooting dead the remaining survivors from the 2010 "crash" of of Polish Air Force Tu-154, effectively Poland's "Air Force One", that killed the political and military leadership of Poland:



Time and time again Russia's secret services have committed spectacular acts of assassination and terrorism around the world and are getting away with it because Western intelligence is downright stupid to the fact that the infamous KGB never ceased to exist with a simple name change.

Kremlin Astrology Update: Ring Of Fire Solar Eclipse & Upcoming Lunar Eclipse + Rare Venus Transit + Pluto Square Uranus

In the context of my Kremlin Astrology hypothesis, a particular region where events seem to unfold according to the stars is the Balkans, particularly with regard to Serbia.

This may be because, if I'm right that Moscow is executing a long-term plan according to astrology geared for a war with the Western powers, then Serbia is a strategic linchpin in the rivalry between Russia and NATO. My guess is that the struggle over Kosovo, which is an 'Orthodox' touchstone for Russian and Slavic nationalists, may be used as a flash-point for direct military conflict between Russia and NATO at the beginning of World War Three. (Of course, Syria, Iran & Korea are all possible flash-points for this as well.)

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev & Prime Minister Vladimir Putin receive the Saint Sava award from Serbian Orthodox Church

One should note accordingly that with the "ring of fire" annular solar eclipse watched around the world yesterday, a Serb ultra-nationalist, Tomislav Nikolić, won the run-off election for the new president of Serbia:



This could mean a new fight between Serbia and Kosovo in the near-future that could easily pull in Russia and NATO on opposing sides.

Next up is a total lunar eclipse on June 4th immediately followed by an extremely rare Venus transit of the Sun:





This will come just as a rare, and purportedly ominous, square between Pluto and Uranus takes shape that will be exact on June 24th:

Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn is the most significant and most challenging planetary influence in a generation. These planets came together in the mid 1960′s and will oppose each other from 2045. There are seven exact Uranus Pluto squares between June 2012 and 2015. So for the next five years we are living through a major generational upheaval.

AN ASTROLOGICAL SIGN OF SATAN?

The upcoming Venus transit of the Sun has certain characteristics that suggest it may constitute an occult sign of Lucifer, i.e., Satan.

As noted above, there's an 8-year cycle of Venus conjunctions with the Sun that when mapped out draws a pentagram:



Pentagrams are commonly associated with Satanism:

Satanists use a pentagram with two points up, often inscribed in a double circle, with the head of a goat inside the pentagram. This is referred to as the Sigil of Baphomet. [Wikipedia]

Furthermore, the planet Venus represents Lucifer:

Traditionally, Lucifer is a name that in English generally refers to the Devil or Satan, especially in reference to his status as a fallen angel. In Latin, from which the English word is derived, Lucifer (as a noun) means "light-bearer" (from the words lucem ferre). It was the name given to the Morning Star, i.e. the planet Venus when seen at dawn. Use of the name "Lucifer" for the Devil stems from applying to the Devil what Isaiah 14:3–20 says of a king of Babylon whom it calls Helel (Shining One), a Hebrew word that refers to the Day Star or Morning Star (the Latin term for which is lucifer). [Wikipedia]

Does this mean that the upcoming Venus transit of the Sun is going to coincide with events associated with Satanic forces overtly taking control of the world?

It's possible.

Consider what's occurred with past 8-year cycles when the pentagram has formed in the paths between Venus inferior conjunctions.

Below is a table of Venus inferior conjunctions with the Sun:

The five columns represent the five points of the Pentagram star formation in the path of Venus transits of the Sun. Note that the points in each column are returned to every eight years.

While the majority of dates appear to be irrelevant, there's some points that are noteworthy.

The transits in June of 1988 and June of 1996 correlated with two important political junctures in Russia separated by eight years. In June of 1988 the Central Party of the Soviet Union held its 19th Party Conference, the first such gathering up to that time since 1942. At the conference, Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev initiated the democratic political reforms that eventually led to the breakup of the USSR. In June of 1996, Boris Yeltsin was reelected Russia's president in a close contest with Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov. Yeltsin was purportedly sickly and unpopular yet somehow won a second term during which liberalization in Russia met its end. Thus, this eight-year 'Venus pentagram cycle' involved two key points marking the beginning and end of liberal reform in Russia.

A second noteworthy pentagram cycle of Venus-Sun conjunctions started in August 1991 and ended in August 1999. In August 1991 there was a KGB-staged coup by hardliners in Moscow. This coup purportedly failed leading to a dismantlement of the KGB and the eventual breakup of the Soviet Union. On August 23, 1991, the exact date of the inferior conjunction of Venus with the Sun, the iron statue of Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the KGB (whose birthday was on 9/11), was brought down:

Then, in August 1999, when the Venus pentagram cycle completed, Vladimir Putin became Prime Minister of Russia marking the beginning of counter-reform that would eventually lead to a neo-KGB state as it is today.

Given that key political reversals in Moscow are associated with 8-year pentagram cycles of Venus inferior conjunctions with the Sun, one wonders if there's anything planned for the upcoming, rare direct transit in June.

The 'Great Transformation Of The World'

Leaning over the police barricade, the former KGB officer began to chat with the frum Jewish man who apparently is an immigrant from the former Soviet Union.

The man related the importance of the Kotel to the Jewish nation, and mentioned the Beis Hamikdash and Shlomo Hamelech who first built it.

"That's exactly the reason I came here (Western Wall in Jerusalem) - to pray for the Temple to be built again," Putin responded, according to a report on the Bechadrei Chareidim website.

"I wish you that your prayers will be received," the president added and warmly shook the man's hand. [SOURCE: "Putin's Chat at the Kotel"]

The "Great Transformation" appears to be nearing completion:

"Today the Soviet system can no longer seriously strive toward the spectre of Communism - but at the same time it cannot yet abandon the grandeur of its tasks, for otherwise it would have to answer for fruitless sacrifices which are truly innumerable. But in what then can the Soviet system find its justification? Only in the consciousness that it was unconsciously in the past, as it is now quite consciously, God's instrument for constructing a new Christian world. It has no other justification, and this is . . . a genuine and great justification. By adopting it, our state will discover in itself a truly inexhaustable source of Truth, spiritual energy and strength, which has never before existed in history . . . The old pagan world has now finally outlived its era . . . In order not to perish with it we must build a new civilization - but is Western society, whose foundations have been destroyed, really capable of this? Only the Soviet sytem, having adopted Russian Orthodoxy . . . is capable of beginning THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD." [Passage written by Russian nationalist G.M. Shimanov quoted in Alexander Yanov's The Russian Challenge & The Year 2000 (1987), p.236]

For two decades I have been desperately trying to warn the world that the collapse of the Soviet Union was not what it appeared to be:

Rather than constituting a victory for the West and emergence of a freedom and democracy in Russia, what the world witnessed was a staged strategic deception spearheaded by the KGB.  The purpose of the historical ruse, as spelled out ahead of time by defectors like Anatoliy Golitsyn, was to mislead the West into lowering its guard in order to open the way for 'The Final Phase' which ultimately will involve using thermonuclear force to destroy Israel and America and vanquish the Western powers once and for all.

In the place of the modern 'free world' Moscow intends to establish its 'idea' of God's 'kingdom' on earth, i.e., a globally dominant totalitarian dictatorship, the revived 'Holy' Roman Empire, in which Russia's leader is not just "czar" (READ: "c-zar" = Caesar) but Czar of Czars, i.e., King of Kings, i.e., Christ:



Well....the "GREAT TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORLD" is well underway and nearing completion.  One need only watch videos of Vladimir Putin's recent presidential 'coronation', his associated blessing by the ROC Patriarch and this year's official Easter ceremonies in Moscow to realize the return to a Czarist 'Holy Russian Empire' is effectively complete:







 Now it's a matter of the "Orthodoxization" of the rest of the world:

"If we presume the coming transformation of the Communist Party into the Russian Orthodox Party of the Soviet Union, we would obtain truly the ideal state, one which would fulfill the historical destiny of the Russian people. It is a question of the Orthodoxization of the entire world." (Gennadii Shimanov)

Of course, the historical reality is that I'm the true Christ, and I've returned to this world to counteract the theft of my inheritance by a most evil imposter, i.e., the Antichrist.

How Western Civilization is completely oblivious to the existential threat that has emerged in Moscow I can only ascribe to the following prophecy from the Bible:

"The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12]

NOTE: On the Russian anti-semitism front, I commonly quote Gennady Shimanov, a founder of the Russian New Right, a movement that came to dominate Russia's intelligence elite (KGB) in the late-1970s and early-1980s (Andropov era). This intellectual movement is what has taken over Russia. To get a better idea of Shimanov's thinking, take a look at this excerpt from Vadim Rossman's Russian Intellectual Antisemitism in the Post-Communist Era (click hyperlink to read thoroughly at Google Books):

Alexander Yanov, like Anatoliy Golitsyn, accurately forecast what we've seen unfold in Russia and around the world over the past 25 years. It is the combination of the insights of BOTH of these Russian defectors that allows one to understand the inherently deceptive, staged transformation that has occurred.

Russia has tacitly become the Third Rome, a parallel garrison state to the Third Reich, with like chauvinism and irrational hatred of the Jews and 'liberal' Western society, except this power is armed to the teeth with WMDs.

Yeltsin and the failure of reform was planned to allow for the "crisis", i.e., Weimar Russia, from which a totalitarian, neo-KGB state could emerge with (nationalistic) Christianity as the ideological basis for power instead of Communism.

To get an idea of Alexander Yanov's insight, read the following, somewhat-dated review of his work:

ALSO SEE - The Fundamentalist Utopia Of Gennady Shimanov

EXCERPT:

There are similarities to fundamentalism in the right-wing dissidents’ perspectives on nationalism and religiosity. In principle, nationalism was unacceptable to the fundamentalists because it undermined the supra-natural character of the Soviet Union and contradicted universalistic and messianic Orthodoxy. However, fundamentalists such as those who came to power in Libya and Iran often adopted nationalist rhetoric in order to ethnically and spatially enhance their visions of a “land of purity.” So the Soviet underground fundamentalists referred to the Russian nation as “Holy Russia”; as is stressed in the pages of Veche, Holy Russia does not reside within each individual Russian, but the quintessence of “Russianness” dwells in three or five utterly righteous men (pravedniki), who must be living in Russia at the present time. Leonid Borodin interpreted the nation as a medium between people and divine harmony, as a “means for the striving for God” (Bogoiskanie). And Osipov’s other work Zemlia, also a samizdat journal, purports that “Nationalism is unthinkable in separation from Christianity. Any form of pagan or atheistic nationalism is devilry. . . . The principal aim of the nationalists at the moment is to revive people’s good morals and national culture.” In this way, integrity and the restoration of traditional mores were matters of greater consequence, in the view of right-wing dissidents, than the well-being of ethnic Russians. The Manifesto of Poresh’s Christian Seminar notes that the quintessence of Russia is that it houses “Christ’s people.” Shimanov echoed these ideas, noting that only an orthodox believer could be true patriot; he also coined the principle: “Love your Motherland, [but do] not idolize it. Love it as far as it is not disgusting to God.”

Thus, nationalism was of secondary importance for Shimanov and his circle, though it coalesced with his strong anti-liberalism. Like other underground religious revivalists of that time (for example, the Christian Seminar), Shimanov believed that Orthodoxy indissolubly bonded with the Russian people; Russia, in this sense, had housed “Christ’s people” from the earliest period in the country’s history. As distinct from Poresh and his circle, Shimanov accentuated the close ties between Christianity and the Russian state.

Shimanov’s utopian formula of combining the Soviet state and Orthodoxy was altogether devoid of nationalist elements. Instead of nationalism, Shimanov proposed universalistic Messianism. In an open letter to Liah Abramson, a dissident who wrote for the samizdat journal Evrei v SSSR (Jews in the USSR), Shimanov wrote that at the moment there remained the two cultures in the world that were still capable of spiritual renovation and global leadership—the Russians and the Jews. They were both infatuated with Messianism and highly cultured, he noted, but the Jews, seduced by Zionist nationalism and liberalism, had forfeited the right to claim a leadership role. The Arab-Israeli conflict, in Shimanov’s understanding, had manifested the fallaciousness of Jewish contemporary policy. Therefore, there remained only the Russian people, who could still possess a leadership role in a forthcoming spiritual renaissance. In this sense, Shimanov called for the “spiritual Russiafication and Orthodoxing of the whole universe.” Many other underground Rightists drew a parallel between the Orthodox believers in the Soviet Union and early Christians, concluding that Russia’s calling was to redeem humankind.

Kony 2012 = Putin 2012?

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke

Absolutely brilliant:



Joseph Kony is a diabolical, evil man who turns the name of the "Lord" completely upside down with his Uganda Lord's Resistance Army. The man invokes the name of God and then uses this as cover for mass deceit, murder, rape and theft.

See how this works in that those who are total liars are, well, total liars?

Is this any different from what the Kremlin is up to?

Russia has spent the last twenty years replacing the false ideological front of Communism, which purportedly involves a stateless utopia, with the even more glaringly dishonest ideological front of Christianity:



"By all accounts, we will not manage to escape a big war (that)....may lead to the annihilation of cities."
- Russian Orthodox Church Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin
The Capitalist West - selfish, decadent, ignorant and indifferent - is mindlessly going along with Moscow's global ruse. The consequence of the unfolding deceptive Zeitgeist is an ultimate act of premeditated mass murder in the form of a nuclear third world war. This will be followed by the subjugation of those left standing into a global totalitarian tyranny of man made out to be the 'kingdom of god' (in Islam, the prophetic "caliphate").

Could there be a more urgent cause for people to stand up against?

Yet....somehow, I'm virtually alone.

How is this?

Putin Cries With Laughter At The World

"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." - Joseph Stalin



Video and pictures of Vladimir Putin with a tear-filled eye are being transmitted around the world as the Russian Prime Minister's defrauding of humanity continues unabated with his purported reelection as president of Russia.



From SkyNews:

Vladimir Putin has claimed victory in Russia's presidential election, amid allegations from his rivals that voting was marred by fraud.

Speaking at a rally attended by tens of thousands of supporters outside the Kremlin walls in Moscow, the prime minister insisted it had been an "open and honest" contest.

He added: "I promised you we would win. We have won. Glory to Russia".

From Bloomberg:

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin claimed victory in a presidential election that his opponents say was marred by fraud, accusing protesters against his rule of seeking to usurp power.

“We won in an open and honest fight,” Putin said in front of thousands of supporters near the Kremlin last night as tears streamed down his face. “We showed that our people can easily distinguish between a desire for novelty and renewal from political provocations which have only one goal: to destroy Russian statehood and usurp power.”

Putin, 59, who has been at Russia’s helm for 12 years including the last four as premier, won another six years in the Kremlin with 63.7 percent of the vote, with more than 99 percent of all ballots counted. About 65 percent of the country’s 110 million eligible voters cast ballots, Central Election Commission chief Vladimir Churov said on state television. Opposition groups plan a rally in Moscow today.

While the masses will undoubtedly fall for the notion that Vladimir Putin became teary-eyed out of joy in returning to the Russian presidency (like he had lost control as prime minister?), the truth is that if there were any sincerity to his tears it would be from his inside laughter at the mind-boggling gullibility and stupidity of this world.

Vladimir Putin is one of the most corrupt, murderous, tyrannical leaders in modern history.

As head of the FSB and Russian president between the 1999 and 2008, he and his associates amassed multi-billion dollar empires through looting of national resources:



What's worse, Putin's ascension to the Russian presidency was built on the corpses of hundreds of innocent Russian citizens murdered in the 1999 FSB bombings of apartment buildings that were blamed on Chechen separatists:



The FSB defector who helped reveal to the world this diabolical crime, Alexander Litvinenko (I ran the "Litvinenko Chronicles" prior to his murder), was assassinated with radioactive polonium in 2006. The KGB men who carried out the dastardly deed have been treated as heroes in Russia and protected from extradiction to the U.K. for their murderous crime.

Rather symbolically, in April 2010 Putin and his cohorts in Russian intelligence surreptitiously took down Poland's 'Air Force One' in Smolensk Russia killing President Lech Kaczyński and his wife, much of his staff, former Polish President Ryszard Kaczorowski, and a large chunk of Poland's military high command including Chief of Staff Franciszek Gągor. The Polish entourage was headed to a commemoration ceremony for the 1940 slaughter of 22,000 Polish officers and others in the Katyn Forest by Russia's secret police:



Vladimir Putin took charge of the investigation and blamed the tragedy on an accident caused by Polish negligence and incompetence.

But all these crimes will likely end up a footnote of history compared to what Vladimir Putin and his demonic henchmen ultimately have planned for this world:


"By all accounts, we will not manage to escape a big war (that)....may lead to the annihilation of cities."
- Russian Orthodox Church Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin



How easily people forget history:



Of course, why should I even bother trying to explain the truth to a world that doesn't care?

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12]

Everyone seems to think they are above 'The Truth' in this day and age. How smart is that?

Return Of The King Or Rise Of The Antichrist?

At a convention of the United Russia party in Moscow on Saturday, which was reminiscent of the 1984-style Soviet Party Congress meetings of yesteryear, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev announced that Vladimir Putin would again be made president via sham elections in 2012 after a four-year hiatus as prime minister:



[Of course, that there is now a slick global news network, RussiaToday, that doles out Kremlin propaganda via fluent English-speaking anchors, reporters and commentators speaks volumes about where the world is heading.]

As has been highlighted in this blog over and over and over again, there are substantial reasons to believe that Vladimir Putin is being made more than just the head of a Russian autocracy.

Let me remind readers that Vladimir Putin became President of Russia the evening of December 31st, 1999, i.e., on New Year's eve into the third millennium. Why was this strange point selected for him to become Russia's new "czar"? Simple. On the third day Christ arose and 1000 years is a day to the Lord. Putin isn't just being made king of Russia....Moscow's objective is to establish their version of the kingdom of "god" on earth and coronate their leader 'king of kings', i.e., Christ returned. The Communist utopian nightmare is morphing into a 'christian' one.

From outward appearances it would seem that the old Soviet Union has returned. A thing crucified, dead and buried has been resurrected. Four weeks after Vladimir Putin’s re-election, a procession led by the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church arrived at the Church of Christ the Redeemer in Moscow. In keeping with ancient tradition the doors of the church were shut, symbolizing the sealed cave where Christ’s body was placed following crucifixion. “After midnight,” noted Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, “the Orthodox faithful taking part in the procession await the opening of the church doors. The patriarch stands on the steps at their head and is the first to enter the empty temple where the Resurrection of Christ has already occurred.” In due course the Patriarch offered up a prayer, the doors of the Church of Christ the Redeemer were opened and out stepped President Vladimir Putin. If any Christians were present for this ceremony they offered no protest to this blatant sacrilege. The woman who reported this event for the benefit of Western readers has since been assassinated. The KGB defector who was investigating the circumstances of her death has been poisoned (i.e., Litvinenko). [SOURCE]

Of course, the utter insanity around me is that everyone is mindlessly cooperating in their own demise like lemmings being herded off a cliff.

"War to the hilt between Communism and Capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in 20 or 30 years. To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard-of concessions. The capitalistic countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we will smash them with our clenched fist."

- Dimitry Z. Manuilsky, Soviet Chairman of U.N. Security Council, 1949

No matter how hard I cry out the truth and try to stop the suicidal madness, I'm ignored, ridiculed and/or ostracized as insane.

What nonsense have I been born into and what is the freaking point?

Unreal...

"The Lord has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts--so that their eyes cannot see, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and have me heal them." [John 12:40]

NOTE: I can't dismiss the possibility that Gorbachev is the prophetic 'Evil One' at this point. Albeit, he's rather old to be returning as world destroyer/savior, but the Kremlin's "grand historical deception" did originate with him and, given his messianic quotes in the past and the fact that he's been seeking to paint himself as some sort of global peacemaker and good steward of the earth, he's a candidate for the Antichrist as well:

"Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep." - Mikhail Gorbachev, November 1987

"The socialist tradition....goes back to Jesus Christ, not (Karl) Marx." - Mikhail Gorbachev, USA Today, October 28th, 1996

The excerpt below is from "Vital Gorbachev refuses to let go of politics", Reuters, December 8, 1996:

(Gorbachev) is frank, though hardly contrite, about the failures of judgement that led him to promote to senior positions the very men who would plot to overthrow him in 1991.

"How do you explain Judas -- right there next to Jesus Christ?" he asks. "How do you explain that? And Christ did not recognise him for what he was. You could say that's a metaphor."

Either way, one can be pretty much certain that Russia is the site of Satan's headquarters in the modern world:

Today, if you would observe the climate of the world, you would find a demonic presence. You may come to realize that a dark cloud is fast approaching just beyond the horizon.

What if the coup d'etat in 1991 in Russia was staged by their leaders to disguise a more sinful plan? A master plan that would dethrone the belief in an unseen God. A plan that involves acting out the bibilical prophecy concerning the antichrist. What if the Russian plan is to test the waters, the biblical waters? It would be the most diabolical plot in world history.

Russia is an atheistic government that relish on its communist past. This is what Joseph Stalin said, "We have deposed the czars of the earth and we shall now dethrone the lord of heaven." Have the Russians abandoned this belief or have they incorporated this belief into a master plan?

Satan's master plan is to remove Jehovah God as master of the universe. His objective is to dethrone God as ruler over the earth. His plan is to destroy our faith in Jesus Christ. Doesn't this belief of Satan mirror or imitate the atheistic belief of Russia?

On October 4, 1957 Russia became the first country to put a rocket ship into outer space. The rocket ship was named Sputnik. This great accomplishment advanced their idea of denouncing the existence of Jehovah God. While in space American listening devices overheard a transmission from the Russian orbiting space craft. What was heard is how they view the universe. They said, "Our rocket has bypassed the moon. It is nearing the sun. We have not discovered God. We have turned out the lights in heaven that no man will be able to put on again. We are breaking the yoke of the gospel, the opiate of the masses. Let us go forth, and Christ shall be relegated to mythology."

Has Russia become the headquarters of Satan? A country that walks a thin line between an atheistic belief and democracy. While we have the advantage of time we must look at past history with biblical eyes. We must reevaluate Gorbachev's legacy and the statements he made concerning the world we live in. The atomic clock is ticking. Time is running out for the world. He said, "We need a new paradigm of development in which the environment will be a priority.... World civilization as we know it will soon end... We have very little time to act... We have to change our mindset, the way humankind views the world."

At first glance these statements by Gorbachev look innocent, but the fact that he is president of the Gorbachev Foundation which promotes the idea of one world government gives one goose bumps. (Randolph Wright, Mikhail Gorbachev Is The Biblical Antichrist, pp. 25-26)

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. [2 Thessalonians 2:9]

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. [Ephesians 6:11-17]

The 'Lawless One' continues to lay the groundwork for forthcoming global tyranny...

Vladimir Putin, who I deem to be the prophetic 'Lawless One' from 2 Thessalonians 2, continues to lay the groundwork for the forthcoming global tyranny of the Antichrist IMHO. In this regard, please read the following recent posts at the LaRussoPhobe blog:

Welcome to the Horror of Neo-Soviet Russia

Putin Moves Russia From Authoritarianism to Totalitarianism



Interestingly, in the first blog linked to above, Welcome to the Horror of Neo-Soviet Russia, the following commentary appears...

The NKVD, like their successors, were responsible for horrific crimes against the people of Russia and were a legion of goons that terrorized the country in order to support the Stalin dictatorship. They were integral in carrying out one of the most infamous crimes against humanity in world history, the Katyn massacre in 1940 Poland.

...without elaboration. Yet, under Vladimir Putin's supervision, Russia's current intelligence services just recommitted a massacre of Polish high officials not far removed from that of 1940, and somehow the world failed to take notice:



The ongoing problem is that ALMOST NO ONE CARES that the Antichrist is rising to power in this world and a satanic plan is unfolding to vanquish the free world via a surprise nuclear third world war.

Why is this so?

Because everyone is too busy 'having pleasure in unrighteousness' to care about the historical reality around them and bother doing something to change HIStory. It is much easier for people to merrily ride along with everyone else on the crazy train to global war and tyranny than risk a smidgen of their personal comfort and/or reputation standing up for The Truth. So the fate is what man makes...
