We’ve got a biological war going on. The Chinese are telling their people to get ready for nuclear war. The Russians are getting ready…. These are all pre-war signs. They [the Russians] are getting rid of [the dollars in their] sovereign funds; and then you have these mass assassinations, these drone attacks in Mexico…. This is very important for them, for pre-positioning [small units of Spetsnaz] troops.

Harrassment of this kind is illegal. Have any arrests been made? Is the Denver police going to investigate?
This is an epic interview. Would appreciate if you include sources.
Viktor Suvorov’s book “Spetsnaz” is a major source. My personal discussions with Colonel Stanislav Lunev. Colonel Skirdo’s “The People, The commander and the Army,” “Soviet Military Strategy,” Edited by Marshal Sokolovskiy, and Gulbransen’s “Silent Invasion.” Nevin can add his own sources, including his “Red Dawn in Retrospect” — Nevin’s book is comprehensive.
What is the source of the claim that Putin was selected by generals?
Marina Kalashnikova, a Russian historian. She told me this ten years ago.
Thanks for listening. Another source of mine is Stephen J. Cimbala, Joseph D. Douglass Ending a Nuclear War: Are the Superpowers Prepared? (1988). Douglass discusses details provided by Sejna on how the Soviets and their allies planned to subjugate the US during the Cold War through a kinetic attack and occupation. See pages 36-39. You can get this book through Inter-Library Loan since most copies on Amazon and Bookfinder are rather expensive.
The main citation is here: “Portions of the Soviet plans for seizing control of the United States following a nuclear strike were described by the head of this Administration for Special Propaganda to Sejna in 1967 just prior to Sejna’s defection. The description provides an interesting insight into the possible nature of Soviet plans and, in a certain regard, their efforts to clothe mechanisms in indigenous or nationalistic trappings. In 1967 the Soviets believed that, in addition to strikes against nuclear and critical military targets, roughly 110 nuclear strikes would be adequate to cripple the United States. A ‘Central Committee for Salvation and Restoration’ and counterpart Salvation and Restoration committees in newly established regions would be set up. The first action would be to seize radio and television networks and announce changes in national and state governments, that is, to the new Salvation and Restoration committees. A third party would be created out of the CPUSA, left-wing Senators, and prominent figures from finance, industry, and science. Recruitment here is directed toward those people who are regarded as naive and those whom the Soviets refer to as ‘chicken opportunists.’ Middle class radicals, blacks, and Hispanics would be recruited and organized into a national militia. ‘Salvation courts’ would be established and their immediate task would be to execute members of right-wing groups. There would be heavy reliance on outside ‘advisors’ provided by Soviet surrogates and agents, and the new government would be pushed to negotiate a peace treaty. In the attack, Europe would not be destroyed. Rather, Moscow would launch a propaganda campaign to tell the Europeans that the Soviets had saved their lives. The United States would be blamed for starting the war and an international committee for the neutrality of the United States would be formed. Pressure would be produced from the left and from Europe and elsewhere for the United States to give up.”
Notice how an attack against Europe is avoided. They hit directly at the USA.
Mr. Nyquist, it sounds like you think military attack against Europe is not planned. What about an all-european invasion by Russians to install their regime? They have their exercises called West 20…whatever every other day. Is this part of their misleading?
Everything is planned, but it is contingent.
Mr. Nyquist, thank you for the answer. Could you, please, elaborate?
Viktor Suvorov’s “Spetsnatz” is available to read on-line here:
http://militera.lib.ru/research/suvorov6/index.html
Mr Nyquist, you made this earlier statement (in the last essay’s comment section) which I’d like to address if I can. (As you might say, these days call for ‘engagement’ and ‘drawing’ me into a conversation;
” You must forgive me if I want to draw Vladimir into a discussion to learn — either from him or about him — and discover what he thinks. It doesn’t mean I am going to convert to his way of thinking. If he is trying to manipulate us, time will reveal it. I let communists post here because I sometimes like to answer their slanders, and give people a taste of the hate mail I receive. And yes, there are traps being laid by other people who post here, and there are many deleted posts you do not even see that are very nasty; troll stuff, sometimes having to do with religion or antisemitism. If I say yes to the wrong thing, or I am not careful, people come right after me. I get attacked quite often, and it is preferable to see it here where I can answer — rather than somewhere else where the enemy’s thought process remains hidden. This is a battle of ideas. One ought to engage. ”
I’m rather easy to figure out on a political level. I am a Monarchist, thinking that Monarchy best reflects the society engaged in the common good. There is much a Prince with good Aristocratic retainers can do for the betterment of his realm.
This makes me definitely fall on the premodern and traditionalist end of the scale in today’s world. I know it would take a miracle to bring anything resembling that ideal back into the world however at this stage of events.
There is a natural order and hierarchy to the cosmos. I don’t really argue or talk about it, just recall it and arm myself skeptically against the priesthood of the ”scientists”,draw much inspiration about ”science’ and it’s provisional nature in Thomas Kuhn’s ”the nature of scientific revolutions”. Reject Darwin, Freud, Einstein, and Marx.
Don’t believe that ”all men are created equal” in a natural sense of being exactly alike in a radical egalitarianism.
From the perspective of Western philosophy, I follow fairly closely G.W, Leibniz and his Idealist Monadology (and the Russian followers of Leibniz, Nicholai Lossky or Lopatin). Definitely not Marx or Lenin, the Idealists not the Materialists.
In political philosophy I am a reader of Lev Tikhomirov, who went from being a revolutionary radical to a traditionalist monarchist,and of Konstantin Leontiev and Nicholai Danilevsky.
That being the case, I believe that the modern age of representative democracy, capitalism, and science, naturally culminates in Communism, not that that is a good outcome in the slightest, but I do hold out that this age is not the last.
Mr. Nyquist,you had also commented to me in the same section that;
”I visited the Orthodox in the Scott Valley of Northern California to visit Bishop Chrysostomos of the Old Calendar Greek Orthodox Church. He was an amazing person. You could not believe the treasures of art they had built in their places of worship.”
Needless to say I have the greatest of admiration for all the Old Calendar Orthodox,wherever they are.
To address this ”Red Dawn” scenario somewhat; It appears to be to be logistically impractical in my opinion, my gut feeling. Certainly a serious nation with a serious government really actually should have a military that wargames out any realistic possibility for wars in the future. To militarily defeat an advanced modern nation it is plausible that the only way one could do so is to occupy that nation, invade it. And it would be dauntingly difficult to do in this specific case..
It is unrealistic for Russia, but for China — most of our “stuff” here is made in China. The logistics is already in place.
Good point, I must admit. I imagine that it would be hard for corporations and consumers of”stuff” alike to foresee China dropping the making of goods and providing of services so as to make war upon the West; ”where is the profit in that?”
Communism is not about profit. It is about overthrowing capitalism.
Agreed. As Colonel Lunev opined, Russia and China combined could defeat the US. And that was back in 1998. G-d only knows today how much damage Russia and China could inflict on the US. And yes China and to a lesser degree Russia could embargo all trade to the US. They did this with Japan re: rare earth metals. Communists (like the Nazis and some Middle Eastern regimes) use trade as a weapon. Ideas of profit and loss are tools in the perennial basket of communist tactics & tricks to cripple the US.
The Capitalists have never seemed to learn that about Communism, that the goal was with overthrowing Capitalism. That’s why I used to wonder about the future prospects for political sects like Ayn Rand’s Objectivism; could Rand be a future ”Marx” of sorts,and her Ideology sweep the world like Marxist-Leninism did? I think not, her grotesque parody of something already grotesque was a dead end from the start. Western Hyper-individualism and self sufficiency, idolized
No, when I think of your ”Red Dawn”, I think of China, and how alien her strategy must be to people in the West, alien and frightening. But something that should be understood as horrible. I employ the metaphor of the Chinese face changing wizards, ironically entertaining Western businessmen;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K76n__3tj0w
Ever-changing, but the same. Individuation almost disappears, as does the human person. All the same,can they pull off such bold moves? Does their actual history suggest the possibility?
We are stupid enough that they got this far. Look at how the pandemic has worked. They have infiltrated our media, government and business. This is obvious. Who is to say how far they might go? If I am Xi, I would still entertain high hopes. But China is shaky on stamina, on organization, on honesty in government. Too many people steal. I am not sure they can hold everything together as they advance. I was told that the Russians gave up the idea of invading the lower 48 states in 1991. This does not mean they won’t help China with the attack. I think they are committed to do so (if the war is set to happen). Communism is the common cause of the Socialist Camp, though the Russian leaders cannot say so publicly. Russia suffered attenuation of her force structure then. The Chinese had the manpower, shipping capacity, and the desire. Russia only wants Alaska and to dominate Europe. I suspect the communist ideal is going to break down because of ethnic differences. China will have its zone. Russia will have “the one common European home.” If one follows Moscow’s policy statements you will see that it takes account of the division of territory with China. We shall see how things unfold during the summer.
This aligns with the theory that Russia intends to use a Chinese breakout in the Pacific as a diversion for its own assault in the Middle East to secure the Leviathan gas field and remove from the equation Israel’s mooted South Stream pipeline which, if allowed to go ahead, would pose a strategic threat to Russia’s economic model of supplying gas to Europe. It might also explain thy the EU is so “incompetent” with its vaccine rollout compared to the US… too many dead Germans = bad for Russia’s economy. But that’s just an outlier theory, mind you!
Interesting comment re: Ayn Rand and the rampant, corporate incentivized individualism in the US. I’m a staunch critic of market fundamentalism and the cult of selfishness (i.e. neoliberalism) on the grounds that it exacerbates divisions within the US, breeds corruption, erodes nationalism, is weaponized by our enemies to gain political influence/technology/markets in the US, is bad economics, and breeds anti-capitalist sentiments amongst the young by fulfilling the worst stereotypes of capitalism and capitalists. This is one of the main reasons why I abandoned Reaganite conservatism and the Republican Party while avoiding and continuing to oppose totalitarian socialism.
Vladimir, I think this article may be of interest to you: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-13/a-2-500-book-on-u-s-decline-is-suddenly-a-must-read-in-china
“Wang Huning’s book, which was written during an academic visit to the U.S. in 1988, predicted that America’s emphasis on “individualism, hedonism and democracy” would eventually cause rifts that sapped its competitive drive. Countries like Japan — built on “collectivism, selflessness and authoritarianism” — had the upper hand, said Wang Huning, who’s now one of seven people on the Politburo’s supreme Standing Committee.”
Huning is correct insofar as his diagnosis of weaknesses of the US. However, it is the communist/socialist solutions that are way off base and morally objectionable to me. In order for the US to succeed (or to “Make America Great Again”) what we need to get back to is the formula advocated by Arthur Schlesinger Jr. which would “require individualism which does not wall man off from community; we require community which sustains but does not suffocate the individual.”
This is why I am a patriotic populist (or Radical Civic Nationalist-my coinage) and no longer a Reaganite conservative.
I have to say that much of your political and economic ideas (if I’m reading you correctly) make perfect sense within the context of American history; do the positions of men like Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Jennings Bryan resonate with you?
I will say that it’s possible that more than a few of the leadership in Russia,in my opinion, would love to have the Russian people more like those of Singapore and run Russia like Lee Kuan Yew did there, or other Far Eastern nations like Japan or South Korea. Maybe others among the leadership are more Westernized and more Neoliberal, and want Russians to be more like the Dutch or Germans or even English instead of the contrarian aboriginal savages they think common provincial Russians are…. ”Sovoks” and ”Gopniks”,etc… An interesting parallel to America and it’s elitist attitudes towards ”Deplorables”, yes?
By American standards and in the modern world, I probably would be considered a ”Leftist”, not sure Socialism can survive in the World for long or not, my big problem with most of the Socialist ideologues is their revolutionary materialistic atheism. But then I have the same problem with Ayn Rand on the other end of the scale…
If I may interject: I agree that materialism is a very damaging outlook for the human heart. I watched the “scientistic” ideal of many professors at the university. This view seemed stunted, unimaginative, dismal, nihilistic, unable to distinguish the important from the trivial. These dialectical materialists were grim. Worldly existence was too overloaded, too weighty, unbearable. Consequently, the Marxists I met were resentful, not grateful or joyful. It is a personal disaster to believe that THIS world is the only world. For life is too short, it’s tragic course too absurd if taken as the all in all.
Vladimir, I think Thomas Jefferson’s observation that “Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains” is instructive for comprehending the greed of the larger corporations and Wall Street banks who clinch trade deals with totalitarian powers.
It is the logic of ”the fable of the bees”, their fig leaf for the immoral and even traitorous things they do, their ”Gangster Capitalism”;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fable_of_the_Bees
And they have certain sophists to redefine what true ethics and morality consist of, of course.
Vladimir, yes you are reading my political and economic ideas correctly insofar that I subscribe to the American School of Political Economy, of which Hamilton, Lincoln, Henry Carey, Washington, and Teddy Roosevelt subscribed to. I support aspects of the New Deal and Great Society (along with some other social democratic programs) as correctives to pure laissez faire capitalism and a plutocratic dominated political system. I suspect this would place me at odds with the ideas held by at least of the commenters here on this blog, which is fine by me.
Yes, I would be dubbed a “socialist” and a “leftist” by today’s standards which has been pulled to the “right” at least by the standards of the market fundamentalist establishment which more or less governs economic thinking and much of our governance (expansion of Right to Work laws, more free trade agreements, deregulation-especially for finance and large multinational corporations, decrease in the power of unions, lower taxes for the super-wealthy, allowance given to virtually all major mergers and acquisitions, etc.). As Gus diZerega, a former friend of Charles Koch, remarked “As state socialism failed…the target for many within these (Koch-funded) organizations shifted to any kind of regulation at all. ‘Socialism’ kept being defined downwards.” Sadly, that is the reality of much discourse within the American Right. No nuance and a plethora of special interest buzzwords designed specifically to bolster large corporate interests who generally (with some exceptions) have no loyalty to the US or our national security and domestic tranquility.
In reality my goals are to bolster the basic tenets of an economy dominated by private enterprise-particularly independent businesses-and stave off the actual onslaught of socialist/communist thought (and yes even neo-Nazi ideology has gained some appeal as well). These thoughts honestly make me an outlier on the Right, even within good anticommunist circles I would imagine.
Thank you,and I’m fairly close to your position, the ”American School”, which resembles some of what List in Germany wrote about and what Pyotr Stolypin, Sergei Witte, and others also were attempting in Imperial Russia. There is in my view, a definite role for the State in all this. It should not be weak.
Also, I think that there is (at least theoretically speaking) an ethical Capitalism, in which the virtues of honesty, fair dealing, industry, thrift, frugality, consideration for the best possible products at a decent price, treating your workers as one would their own family, and so forth,would eliminate much of the extremist dangers to society. And not only that,probably force out of business the more predatory and unethical companies.
There has to be a balance, But even honest and good men will disagree on the structure and the details,of course. I oppose Marxism, but also the influence of Libertarianism around the world too.
One needs a governing class that prizes honor so highly that it cannot be bribed, and will not stoop to extortion. The old aristocratic ethic, so long as it holds, is the only one that approached this — however imperfectly.

Joe Biden And Allies Put America On A Track To Lose Our First Nuclear War: Democrats Want To Abolish America’s Biggest Impediment To A Surprise Nuclear Attack – What Could Go Wrong?
By Dr. Peter Vincent Pry for All News Pipeline:
https://allnewspipeline.com/Biden_And_Allies_Put_America_On_Track_To_Lose_A_Nuclear_War.php
Jeff, not sure if you can comment, in the video with Nevin Gussack, is he aware that the ‘father of Democracy in Hong Kong’, Martin Lee assisted the Chinese Communist Party getting PNTR (Permanent Normal Trading Relations) and joining the World Trade Organization. For people in the West who is not familiar with Martin Lee, he is considered by Hong Kong people as agents of the Chinese Communist Party:
PRESS RELEASE
14 November 1999
WTO Accession Can Fast-track China’s Development of the Rule of Law
The Democratic Party of Hong Kong has long supported China’s WTO accession. In a letter sent this week to the US President, Chairman Martin Lee underscored the importance to China’s long term development that the current discussions succeed. He also offers Hong Kong Democrats’ assistance in ratification should the negotiations reach a favourable conclusion.
Attachment: Martin Lee𠏋 letter to President Clinton dated November 14, 1999
For inquiries, please call Winnie Kwok at 9216-3454.
November 14, 1999
President William J. Clinton
The White House
Washington, DC 20506
c/o Mr. Klosson and by fax: 202-456-2461
Dear President Clinton:
In the year and a half since I last saw you in Hong Kong, there have been many changes in the US-China relationship, both setbacks and progress. As you might imagine, we in Hong Kong have closely followed the negotiations over China’s accession to the World Trade Organization.
As Chairman of the Democratic Party of Hong Kong, I wanted to write to assure you that as elected representatives of Hong Kong people, we strongly support China’s accession to the WTO. We do so not only because it would be of tremendous long-term benefit to China and to Hong Kong as part of China, but also because we believe it represents the best long-term hope for China to become a member in good standing of the international community. In Hong Kong, we have long seen the benefits of free markets and global competition. We also believe that China should be admitted to the WTO to enhance the development of the rule of law in the world’s largest country.
Now that you have reached a critical stage in the negotiations over China’s accession, we fear that should these negotiations or ratification fail, it could take many more years to reach this point once more.
Thus, I am writing to ask you to consider several relevant points. First, China’s joining the world trade club is obviously good for the new economic world order. Indeed, the benefits are not only to China, but to the entire Asia-Pacific region. However, the reverse is also true: should China not be admitted, there is a risk not only of economic back-pedaling and a slowing of the reform process, but also that the economic chill would affect Hong Kong and China’s neighbors in the region. I suggest to you that the world community cannot afford several more years during which China’s economic reform progress is slowed down. Clearly, any hope for the political and legal reform process would also recede.
Second, the participation of China in the WTO would not only have economic and political benefits, but would also serve to bolster those in China who understand that the country must embrace the rule of law, which of course is a key principle underlying active membership in global trade organizations. The rules of free and open trade are based on mutual recognition that all countries must regard each other as equals, with reciprocal rights and obligations. Impartial rules of trade among nations can thus help build acceptance domestically of the importance of equal rights under law. For those of us who have long pressed for vigorous adherence to the rule of law in China, it is encouraging that so many Chinese officials support the nation’s entry into groups such as the WTO.
Third, China is not yet a developed country and it would be wrong to impose terms on China on the basis that she is. We have to consider the great risks involved even if China were to accept unduly onerous terms which might cause considerable harm to her economy.
Obviously, many of these changes will be difficult and painful in the short term. But since Deng Xiaoping initiated China’s opening to the world in 1979, this has been an irrevocable process which has brought much good to the Chinese people as a whole.
I commend you and the members of your Administration who are pursuing this important objective. Should the opportunity present itself, I want to express my personal willingness to explain the importance of China’s WTO accession to wavering members of Congress or those with doubts in other important global roles. Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can be of assistance in any way.
Thank you for your consideration and for your continuing interest in Hong Kong and China.
Best regards,
Martin Lee
Chairman
The Democratic Party of Hong Kong
http://www.martinlee.org.hk/PR14.11.99.html
The Washington Post in 1999 also admits Martin Lee played a major role in obtaining Permanent Normal Trading Relations and assisted China in joining the World Trade Organization
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1999/11/16/the-rule-of-law-in-china/a93fd591-2086-4fcc-8bb2-d9910ec6cc3d/
On the Bill Clinton presidential website which has been archived
Martin Lee, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Hong Kong: “The participation of China in the WTO would not only have economic and political benefits, but would serve to bolster those in China who understand that the country must embrace the rule of law, which of course is a key principle underlying active membership in global trade organizations… For those of us who have long pressed for vigorous adherence to the rule of law in China, it is encouraging that so many Chinese officials support the nation’s entry into groups such as the WTO.” [Letter to President Clinton, 11/14/99]
Sadly I remembered this back when China was granted PNTR by a majority in Congress and President Clinton. Made me wonder about Martin Lee’s bona fides (legitimacy) as a leader within Hong Kong’s democratic opposition.
Perhaps Lee is an example of fake opposition on the model of the Lenin-era Trust operation of the Cheka/GPU? I tend to think so…the CCP would gain a strategic/PR advantage in trade negotiations with the US by having an “opposition” leader advocate for closer economic relations with Beijing. They can say “see even an ‘anti-communist’ like Lee supports PNTR, thereby disarming the true anticommunist opposition.”
There is definitely something wrong with Martin Lee.
Nevin, I am not sure if you have read the post on which Jeff Nyquist interviewed the Hong Kong Independence Party, if you ask them on what their perspectives or opinion on Martin Lee, Joshua Wong, Nathan Law, Szeto Wah and etc, they will tell you that they see the likes of Martin Lee, Joshua Wong, Nathan Law, Szeto Wah as working for the Chinese Communist Party, if a interview does take place, they really want to talk about Joshua Wong, Martin Lee, Nathan Law, Szeto Wah and etc. In order to get a understanding on the Hong Kong issue, attention must focus on Martin Lee, Joshua Wong, Nathan Law, Szeto Wah and etc.
Thank you Jeff for the interview. Very interesting. I want to make a couple of points that I hope that you can address.
1. What do you make of Biden and Putin talking about various weapon systems that they have during the recent meeting between them?
2. Given what I made mention of in point 1, would it be safe to say that the U.S. and Russia would join forces to go against an aggressive China?
3. Biden, within the last couple of days, stated that he would be pulling military equipment and personnel out of the Middle East in order to better address Russia and China. Is war closer than we could possibly think?
Thank you.
The U.S. already pulled a lot of military assets out of the Middle East. We now realize that Russia and China are coordinating their military forces. Europe and the Pacific are in danger. Russia and China are intensively training their forces; and they are, in this manner, revealing to us — simultaneously — that we have underestimated their strength. Before they did this China attacked us with a rapidly spreading and weaponized virus. This attack is still in progress and it is our stated policy to retaliate on anyone who attacks us with a bio-weapon. The present military demonstrations by China and Russia seem calculated to dissuade us from retaliating. That is the most benign interpretation of what is happening,. My sources, over the past 26 months, relying on contacts in Beijing and other communist capitals, claim that the ongoing biological attack is part of the lead-up to a larger war. I was given no further details; but my understanding of Russian and Chinese strategy — from defector sources — leads me to believe an attack on the United States is being contemplated. I also believe our leaders see some of these preparations and are struggling to prepare a defense. There has been talk of playing “the Russia card.” This is poorly considered because Russia and China are clearly allies. They have been fooling us for many years and now their trap is sprung. We are now caught short. My question to you is: Why would Russia and China turn against each other now? Their strategy worked! They have turned the balance of power in their favor. Ten years ago I asked the Russian historian, Marina Kalashnikova, why Russia and China were secretly coordinating their policy. She said, “Because they are both communist.” This is the key to understanding what has happened domestically and abroad over the last three decades. It is a global Marxist takeover. This is what we missed the whole time. I have explained this again and again, but people do not seem able to absorb it. Russia’s deception was too well played. We also have active communist groups in the United States, and Marxists in our government. Corruption is used to hold them in place. This is also part of the larger picture. Marxists, spies, and useful idiots are censoring and marginalizing the patriotic right, Christians, and anyone who would rally to the country’s defense. A strategy of divide-and-conquer is simultaneously underway. Expect more arrests, more threats, more pleas to “take the jab.” Biden is subservient to Putin. He cannot influence Putin. He is subject to serious pressure FROM Putin. He was not happy about this, as his irritable outburst before the press showed.
Thank you for your comment. I agree, wholeheartedly, with your assessment. As a Catholic Christian, I have to say, Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us. I’m sure that you know the story of Fatima.
Yes, I do,
This is perhaps a stupid question, but is there any mileage to the thought that Russia might be quietly hoping the US and China cancel each other out in a war? Just asking because, although Russia and China are plainly allies and ideologically aligned, if Russia wants to dominate the world, it might be easier to roll solo with it.
The root of that notion lies in the fact that there seems to be some kind of u-turn against China in the west with regard to the COVID attack; I think you recently noted there are signs the US might now be eager to detach itself from China’s economy, just as the kernel of an anti-China narrative is forming. A narrative that frames China, or rather, allows events surrounding the bio attack and the dangerous, genocidal vaccine to be visibly traced back to, and pinned on, China. That is to say, elements within the US Deep State might have allowed China to effectively frame itself as guilty aggressor.
This idea could be totally way off course, but I would be interested in what views you might take on that!
We will have to see if this is true. But if this whole strategy is about the victory of the Socialist Camp, then it is not about the dominance of Russia or China. It is about Marxism triumphing in the whole world. If they succeed, then we see if they fall out. Right now it is a question mark.
Jeff,
One small (but enormously important) fact that your SinoRuskie invasion of the US theory neglects to recognise – 80+ million armed-to-the-teeth traditional commie hating Democrat loathing patriots who, according to several blogs I’ve been carefully watching, are ready and willing……
They’ve done it twice don’t forget. They kicked out the English and the Confederates (the latter I concede being less of a nationalistic bent, but you get my gist)
I have mentioned this many times in interviews, especially in my discussions of Col. Skirdo’s book on the effect of partisans in modern war.
Maybe I could add some mainstream and non-mainstream scientific information relevant here. The mainstream information is (there has been even a “NOVA” PBS episode about this, and over 100 refereed journal articles) that a mere 12,900 years ago, a sudden, strange geologic or astrophysical event, which might or might not have involved an asteroid, occurred, mainly affecting North America, which exterminated the North American megafauna. For historical reasons, geologists call it the “Younger Dryas Event”.
The non-mainstream information, which has been buried under mountains of disinformation and ridicule, is that many of the greatest ancient monuments, seem to be indicating a date in late 2023. They all do this in pretty much the same way. The simplest example is the pyramid of Cholula, which is generally recognized as the largest known pyramid in the world, by volume. Arcturus, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere, comes to the zenith over the Cholula pyramid in late 2023. This is a simple fact which any amateur astronomer with a pocket calculator and a knowledge of precession, nutation and the like, can confirm in an hour. My guess is that the ancient planners of these monuments sought to warn future generations of a recurrence of the Younger Dryas Event which they were able to predict through a knowledge of astronomical cycles such as it is well known that the ancient Mayans and Hindus, at least, had.
If no one knows which continent will be hardest hit this time, it makes sense for China to hedge its bets by moving millions of their people to N. America or to Australia ahead of time. Russia is already pretty well set, having such a broad expanse of land. But Russia still might want Alaska in case “ground zero” for this Younger Dryas Event, or whatever the placement of the ancient monuments was predicting, happens to be centered on Russia.
If my theory is true, it gives a sort of deadline for the commies to make their big move.
For someone who’s an ordinary civilian, this is the stuff of nightmares! However, I’ve been reading where China is eating up Russia’s timber and practically taking over Lake Baikal and other areas in Siberia. I imagine there are are a lot more pristine resources there than in a developed country like the US and I expect climate change would make portions of Siberia more hospitable to farming. Wouldn’t it make more sense for China to simply wait until Russia becomes almost totally dependent on them and then just annex Siberia given its proximity? I’ve also read where China is stealing Russian technology and not lending them money, so doesn’t the current partnership speak more of a temporary partnership of convenience rather than a genuine alliance? I’m just thinking of Hitler eventually turning on Stalin in WWII because don’t these kinds of governments tend to eventually eat their own? Even without climate change, it seems China’s belt and road would make the farmland in Russia’s southern areas and Ukraine logistically more desirable.
About these stories of China stealing from Russia: Where do they come from? My friend, Colonel Lunev, who worked for the Russian general staff, used to laugh at stories like these. He would wave his hand and say it was all nonsense. There is no Chinese takeover of Siberia. There is no stealing of technology. This merely is used to cover the fact that Russia is helping China. Soon we will hear how they tricked us. They will brag about it one day. The Russians already published articles about tricking us about the Cold War ending. Pravda had a two part series on it. I wrote about it in “The Fool and His Enemy.”
I don’t doubt Russia is collaborating with China against the US. I read the part about Lake Baikal and the Siberian forests in a group on VK a few years ago where videos of massive logging convoys and forest hack jobs were being shared around. I actually saw it pop up in a couple of threads. That was before they seemed to start really going after independent news sites and groups they didn’t like. I also seem to remember reading something about protests to that effect, but I don’t recall any of the details. It was just something I read and remembered thinking what a mess that’s going to make of ecosystems, but it wasn’t in the US press. I think it was in our press though that I ready about a Russian arctic scientist being arrested recently and something else a while back about China copying Russia’s planes and military technology. It probably wouldn’t be difficult to find with Google. My comment wasn’t intended so much to question the current anti-American alliance because it’s pretty obvious, but to question at what point the honeymoon go sour and China just eat their lunch? I didn’t see the article in Pravda.
A good example of this propaganda is the story of the J-15 ‘Flying Shark’ which ia a derivative of the Russian Su-33 fighter. This is itself a descendant of the Su-27, a 30+ year old Cold War design and is known originally as he Su-27K, upgraded structure, landing gear, nose strut & wheel, folding wings, larger canards, aerial refueling, a must when you can’t take off with full tanks, & arresting gear.
The Chinese supposedly copied the SU-33 prototype they got from Ukraine (named T-10K), and rather than buying Su-33s from Russia and licensing production, and this has caused them no end of problems with a heavyweight underpowered carrier fighter.
Well it was a heavyweight underpowered Russian “carrier” capable fighter bomber as well, and the type is to be retired after the current 2 dozen active examples serve out their useful lives. It simply can’t compete with the US Navy F-18 series due to the ski-jump launch which requires less than a full combat load, as well as its greater weight.
Naturally a series of upgrades for the Su-33 including everything from uprated engines to various radar and targeting improvements and even a two seat version have been in produced but have found no traction or financial backing.
Arguments for this “disinformation” are all the crashes of the Chinese copies which total FOUR(!??!).
Obviously upgrading a fighter bomber for carrier use is clearly not the way to go, a pure design is required to avoid the problems inherent in adding great weight to an existing design, even though the Sukhoi “Flanker” series has been proven to be one of the best 4th generation designs in aviation history, perhaps even as important as the McDonald Douglas F-15 “Eagle.”
But the “story” is an excellent example of disinformation, Communist style.
The Russians and Chinese are focused on missiles. This is their military doctrine. Missiles are faster than jets, can wipe out air bases where jets are refueled, and destroy aircraft carriers — if armed properly (with vacuum bomb warheads or nukes). So east bloc efforts in the development of carrier operations has been almost comical. No matter. The Russians excel at rocketry, as dictated by their larger theory of war. And their allies (Iran, North Korea and China) have also benefitted.
Mr. Nyquist, you said in a very good ”interjection” that;
”If I may interject: I agree that materialism is a very damaging outlook for the human heart. I watched the “scientistic” ideal of many professors at the university. This view seemed stunted, unimaginative, dismal, nihilistic, unable to distinguish the important from the trivial. These dialectical materialists were grim. Worldly existence was too overloaded, too weighty, unbearable. Consequently, the Marxists I met were resentful, not grateful or joyful. It is a personal disaster to believe that THIS world is the only world. For life is too short, it’s tragic course too absurd if taken as the all in all. ”
This is why there have never been complete and utter Marxist Leninists even among the Bolsheviks;
Brezhnev’s widow crossed herself at her husband’s state funeral…
Ulyanov begged contrition of invisible figures in his final moments when he was unable to speak…
And one of Stalin’s bodyguards once saw a lone Stalin in the war years praying quietly and crossing himself before the murals and icons which remained in the Kremlin.
But there might be a possible downside to having a Bolshevik who knows and believes in a spiritual reality, which Dostyoevsky predicted through the voice of one of his characters in ‘brothers Karamazov;
“Allow me to tell you one little anecdote, gentlemen,” Miusov said impressively, with a peculiarly majestic air. “Some years ago, soon after the coup d’etat of December, I happened to be calling in Paris on an extremely influential personage in the Government, and I met a very interesting man in his house. This individual was not precisely a detective but was a sort of superintendent of a whole regiment of political detectives — a rather powerful position in its own way. I was prompted by curiosity to seize the opportunity of conversation with him. And as he had not come as a visitor but as a subordinate official bringing a special report, and as he saw the reception given me by his chief, he deigned to speak with some openness, to a certain extent only, of course. He was rather courteous than open, as Frenchmen know how to be courteous, especially to a foreigner. But I thoroughly understood him.
The subject was the socialist revolutionaries who were at that time persecuted. I will quote only one most curious remark dropped by this person. ‘We are not particularly afraid,’ said he, ‘of all these socialists, anarchists, infidels, and revolutionists; we keep watch on them and know all their goings on. But there are a few peculiar men among them who believe in God and are Christians, but at the same time are socialists. These are the people we are most afraid of. They are dreadful people. The socialist who is a Christian is more to be dreaded than a socialist who is an atheist.’ The words struck me at the time, and now they have suddenly come back to me here, gentlemen.”
~ Fyodor Dostoevsky (The Brothers Karamazov)
Part I. Book II: An Unfortunate Gathering
Chapter 5: So Be It! So Be It!
Fascinating. The double-minded man is the most treacherous. He double-crosses himself.
C.S. Lewis somewhere comments on the superstitiousness of non-believers. I think sometimes this superstitiousness takes the form of clinging to certain remnants of religious piety. For example, I have a relative by marriage who was baptized by non-practicing Catholic parents as a child and who knows nothing about the Faith. Sort of an insurance policy, like Achilles’ mother dipping him in the Styx to make him invulnerable.
Note to Ricardo Galvan: It is not weekly participation in Communion that marks a truly observant Catholic. It is attendance at the Mass. Reception of Holy Communion is not only not required every week but declining it can be a sign of true faith and reverence. It can mean that you take it seriously and tremble to receive it unworthily, for whatever the reason. Whenever I see a regular Mass-goer remain in the pew, I’m impressed.
I think most people really are their own worst enemy,that’s why I cannot judge people too harshly on a personal level. But people need to know the truth,the truth about themselves and the world around them.
“Note to Ricardo Galvan: It is not weekly participation in Communion that marks a truly observant Catholic.”
This is a minor point that doesn’t refute my overall argument: that Russia is not actually a religious country, but even engages in overt Christian persecution. I don’t think there are millions of devout Orthodox in Russia not showing up in surveys because they feel unworthy.
I’ll also add that Russia has undergone a kind of reverse natural selection and micro-evolution in Russia. The best and brightest were systematically killed while the worst were promoted and the most craven spared. Russia is in a worse condition than even the most depraved cities in the West. This is probably an advantage for us, but, then again, you don’t have to be terribly smart or noble to be a soldier. The Red Army in WW2 was going around gang raping the mothers and the daughters and finally executing them all with the gun jabbed inside their victim’s bodies. They even took photographs of such deeds. These people went back to Russia victorious and went on to torture and even video their torture in the middle east, Georgia or the Ukraine. Fighting Russia is like fighting Mordor, with an army of Orcs and Goblins just waiting to massacre the innocent.
Jeff, thank you for your scholarship and insights. As far as practical implications go, I’m reminded of two quotations: “No plan survives contact with the first encounter with the enemy” (paraphrasing Clausewitz, I think) and Dwight Eisenhower’s aphorism, “The plan is nothing. Planning is everything.” Knowing the nature of the enemy, the means available to fight the enemy, etc. allows one to quickly respond to the situation at hand. I hope more than a few military leaders read your columns and do better planning as a result.
It seems to me that nuclear weapons would have to be used very sparingly because even the exchange of 100 nukes could bring on a devastating nuclear winter, creating a lose-lose situation. If the Russkies and ChiComs want to take over arable farmland and working infrastructure (and avoid disasters like malfunctioning reactors at nuclear power plants), calibrated bio-warfare has a better chance than a prolonged power outage. But I defer to those who’ve seriously studied such matters.
BTW, Dmitri Orlov in his recent column believes that Biden was trying to persuade Putin not to abandon the dollar (and thus seriously undermine its status of being the reserve currency a while longer) in return for making sanctions against Russia toothless in practice. Events should soon tell us how accurate this analysis is.
Biological warfare is cheaper and cleaner if done right. That is true. But nuclear war is not as catastrophic as most people believe. This is something I have studied. Nuclear winter was promoted as a disinformation op of the KGB. We have multiple-sourced defector testimony that it was an active measure — a Soviet-inspired academic hoax, approved by Yuri Andropov. In the conclusion of the definitive study (not TTAPS) of whether this effect could be real, you would have to build a nuclear weapon the size of the Empire State Building, it would cost more than the gross national product of all nations, and you would have to mine the needed uranium on the moon because the Earth does not have sufficient uranium deposits to make such a bomb. If you did all that, you would have a bomb that could cause nuclear winter. I am recalling this from memory, and do not even remember the name of the government study. But the conclusion stuck in my head. It has been 30 years since I read it. Of course, it got no play in our media. Dr. Peter Pry wrote a less succinct but equally devastating critique of nuclear winter in his book, “Nuclear Wars: Exchanges and Outcomes.” The American public, as Pry points out, is seriously misinformed about the way nuclear weapons work, the kinds of fallout the weapons produce under various conditions, and the ways generals would use them. Hydrogen bombs are fusion and long-term fallout is a minor concern. Unless the weapons are ground-bursted, there is no short-term fallout either. Such fallout, when ground-bursting occurs, is generally limited to a cone-shaped area downwind of “hardened” targets. This intense type of fallout only lasts 13-18 days (but is quite lethal). Please note: Nuclear weapons are too valuable to use against cities. It costs several hundred times more to kill civilians with nuclear weapons than with biological weapons. Nuclear weapons are best used for destroying time sensitive military targets — not cities. Of course, you can always bomb cities if you want to make an ugly mess. But as Pry pointed out, a city in a country that has lost its military assets to nuclear strikes will have to surrender to the enemy anyway. Why bomb a defenseless city that you can compel to surrender? If you hate the people there and want to exterminate them, dump Smallpox or anthrax or bubonic on them. As for the attack on the dollar, the Russians will press home their economic attack together with the Chinese — and they will seriously arm-twist collaborationist like Biden (who have compromised themselves for many years). The problem with attacking the dollar and exploiting your “friends” in Washington is that such a push can backfire. It signifies a commitment to some kind of serious follow-through. Top players in power see this and were hoping to play the Russia card. The Russians made clear, even before the meeting, that they were playing the China card on us. They want to change the way the world works. Of course, their moves have been very carefully planned in advance. We are witnessing real choreography here. Stay tuned.
What the Geneva Summit made “official”, for the whole world to see, is the depressing fact that the post-WWII international order lies in complete shambles and that the so-far-non-communist world is absolutely leaderless.
Thanks for bringing my understanding more up-to-date regarding nuclear war, much appreciated.
😳🙉🙈🙊
Deborah Cole, I wanted to address some of the points you made;
”C.S. Lewis somewhere comments on the superstitiousness of non-believers. I think sometimes this superstitiousness takes the form of clinging to certain remnants of religious piety. For example, I have a relative by marriage who was baptized by non-practicing Catholic parents as a child and who knows nothing about the Faith. Sort of an insurance policy, like Achilles’ mother dipping him in the Styx to make him invulnerable.”
But at the same time, it an external sign of an inner reality that a person can never fully extinguish, and that little bit of light can grow to illumine one’s whole being.
”Note to Ricardo Galvan: It is not weekly participation in Communion that marks a truly observant Catholic. It is attendance at the Mass. Reception of Holy Communion is not only not required every week but declining it can be a sign of true faith and reverence. It can mean that you take it seriously and tremble to receive it unworthily, for whatever the reason. Whenever I see a regular Mass-goer remain in the pew, I’m impressed.”
That’s a similar reason to why Mr. Galvan (who doesn’t believe in liturgical/sacramental ”Apostolic Succession” Christianity anyway) is incorrect about the state of Russian Orthodoxy as well. Divine Liturgy typically lasts a good two hours or more even in regular times; during Holy Week a four hour or longer service is not unusual, and this doesn’t include the preaching, the homilies,of the clergy. It’s a real time investment that few people in modern times are able to make, as they’d rather not go if they can’t stay through the whole service of Divine Liturgy. Some are under a Canonical penalty for some grave sin or other impediment that limits their attendance at their local church for some length of time. On the other hand, Orthodox temples are always open,even late into the night and early morning there is someone there singing for the keeping the vigil, and there is usually a constant stream of people coming in however long or very briefly to light candles, say prayers before Icons, have their confessions heard, etc…And then they leave. Often on holidays they’re quite happy to attend, march in processions, joyously take part .
I will not judge them. Will they report ”going to church” very often when asked? Probably not, depending on how the question is phrased, as that makes a difference.
Thanks for the elaboration. I thought the Orthodox response would be parallel but didn’t want to respond for a communion which is not mine. As for Mass attendance, the first commandment of the Church (not to be confused with the First Commandment) is to attend Mass and abstain from servile work on Sundays and holy days of obligation. This reflects the obligation of worship we owe to God. We don’t go to “get fed”; we go to acknowledge and adore God the Creator and the debt we owe Him and the Blessed Trinity. Can Mass attendance become routine and perfunctory? Of course. Our priest recently admonished us for tepidity, noting that he is being inundated by non-Catholics on fire and seeking instruction. One of the unintended consequences of Covid. God writes straight with crooked lines.
As for your first comment, in a sense I agree. I have sometimes thought that in order for there to be a true religious revival, men would first have to revert to a form of superstitious paganism, a level of servile fear that would be a stepping stone to illumination. The modern materialist who fears nothing and lives only in the here-and-now is basically impervious to conversion.
The break between the modern and pre-modern human mind, regardless of whether the pre-moderns were Christian,Jewish,Pagan,or Islamic,is profound. It is almost as if there was the birth of a new species of mankind 500 years ago.
And the route to Communism naturally proceeds from Modernity, it is it’s logical result.
See my reply to him. These arguments are not logical and did not refute me.
Your conclusions are self refuting, so there is little necessity in refutation, only in pointing out where you stand;
In keeping with statements you make below, you’re intent on ”proving” that there are no Christians in Russia because that would undermine your racialist thesis that Russians are subhuman ”Orcs” from ”Mordor”..
”I’ll also add that Russia has undergone a kind of reverse natural selection and micro-evolution in Russia. The best and brightest were systematically killed while the worst were promoted and the most craven spared.”
So you subscribe to the racialist application of biological Darwinism to human beings, yes or no? And let me guess; you think that Russia is led by a new elite of Jews, right? Many of those ”best and brightest” were descendants of Germanic immigrants, correct?
”Russia is in a worse condition than even the most depraved cities in the West.”
So under your biological Darwinism applied to humans, are cities ”depraved” by the existence of biologically inferior human beings, yes or no?
”This is probably an advantage for us, but, then again, you don’t have to be terribly smart or noble to be a soldier. The Red Army in WW2 was going around gang raping the mothers and the daughters and finally executing them all with the gun jabbed inside their victim’s bodies. They even took photographs of such deeds.”
Sounds like wartime German propaganda to me. In fact,it actually was.
” These people went back to Russia victorious”
Are you upset by the historical Russian victory? Or are you upset at the German defeat?
”and went on to torture and even video their torture in the middle east, Georgia or the Ukraine. Fighting Russia is like fighting Mordor, with an army of Orcs and Goblins just waiting to massacre the innocent.”
People intent on murder and conquest engage in a long period of dehumanizing and demonizing rhetoric applied to their victims, to make it easier to kill and to plunder. Everything I read in you I read before in ”Mein Kampf”.
I understand that my comment did not bear on your main point. It was what to an outsider would seem a technical and unimportant detail. But it’s not to an insider.
As for me, my mother and grandfather escaped the newly established USSR. My grandmother died there from malnutrition and TB. ‘Nuff said?
The Catholic Catechism states that continual participation in the sacrament of Holy Eucharist is necessary for the sustainment of Salvation. Most Catholics don’t own or read their own playbook. Regardless, true faithfull is catholic small c and that Church is always open even to Orthodox big O. Unfortunately Putin signed into law the forbidence of the body of Christ meeting for worship outside of government approved Churches. A true man of God!
What part of “people come to this blog to discuss Communism, not religion” do you people not understand?
Gretchen, I understand your reproach and I realized that I was impinging on this barrier. The problem is that this is a struggle between good and evil and that means that Communism and religion cannot be strictly separated. Nevertheless, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
RCC almost never forbids Comunion. Father Forester of St. Edmonds Catholic Church in Rehobeth Delaware did forbid Biden Communion once about 15 years ago because of his stance on abortion. I wonder if the same ever happened to Putin?
Here is what the Catechism of the Catholic Church says on the matter:
1385 To respond to this invitation we must prepare ourselves for so great and so holy a moment. St. Paul urges us to examine our conscience: “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself.”218 Anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to communion…
1388 It is in keeping with the very meaning of the Eucharist that the faithful, if they have the required dispositions,221 receive communion when they participate in the Mass.222 As the Second Vatican Council says: “That more perfect form of participation in the Mass whereby the faithful, after the priest’s communion, receive the Lord’s Body from the same sacrifice, is warmly recommended.”
These two statements are not contradictory. Of course it is recommended to receive Holy Communion as frequently as possible. But sometimes we realize that we indeed are not worthy — we haven’t managed to get to Confession after a grave dereliction, we have had a serious domestic upset that makes it impossible for us to receive with a proper disposition; we realize that we inadvertently broke the pre-Communion fast; the possible reasons are numerous. So we refrain and make a spiritual Communion.
You yourself gave the counter-argument when you mentioned Biden receiving Communion. Shame on Biden and shame on the priest.
BIDEN WAS REFUSED COMMUNION at my Church(former). NOT granted it. BIDEN has a house in Rehobeth. There is one Catholic Church in Rehobeth. I prepared sushi for Bidens daughter at Bushi Sushi. I am friends with people that went to school with Biden’s daughter. Im intimately connected with this issue. I received first Communion at St Edmonds. My mother taught Sunday School there, my best friend and his wife were married there. My sister and her husband were also married there. Father Forester was Removed from St. Edmonds because of his refusal to give Eucharist to Biden and relocated to Mary Mother of Peace and other Churches in Ocean City Maryland. You don’t know what you are talking about. Father Forester is now retired. Incidentally when Biden was refused Communion he just skipped down the line and received the Host and wine from a Eucharistic minister who was clueless as to the initial refusal because Sunday Mass at St Edmonds in the summer is extremely packed. As to Cathesism and Communion you’ve neglected the bit about nessecity for it and continued Salvation. Anyone that cares can find out on their own. This is why in times past people who had fallen out of favour with RC leadership where desperate to have the “Sacrament” of Confession and the Sacrament of Communion. Because actually the RC Church “teaches”, only if one read moderately carefully, that there is no Salvation outside of of RC Church. And continual Salvation is conditional.
Interesting.
Hi J.R.Nyquist their has to be many aspects for a Red Dawn to take place you have to have help from our own Government to have and successful take down. You also got to finance it through other countries like isreal elites who control the United States.to bring in the U.N.Troops (ChiCom) I’m hearing from Dave Hodges that they won’t use nuclear weapons I thinking they will use Nuclear Weapons Washington D.C will be hit so will New York .china pretty much owns the whole United States Now it’s just a matter of time for them to invade and over throw the U.S.Gov and be under the communist Chinese less 2 years.
We were training ground troops to maneuver in winter. I believe we are still training Chinese fighter pilots:
https://www.rebelnews.com/exclusive_minister_of_transport_approved_chinese_fighter_pilot_training_in_canadian_airspace
Is there any risk of the Chinese people turning on the communists in the event of such massive upheaval within China that you describe is possible? What do you see happening in India?
Yes, the Chinese people have risen against their government many times in history. It can happen. Yet, it cannot be so easy now. The secret police is a powerful weapon in the CCP’s hands.
Mr Nyquist,
It is my understanding that the honorable Chairman-for-life Xi Jinping is an avid devote of the methods and dictums of the Cool Hand Luke School of Communications.
The following news item lends some credence to my suspicions:
“This weekend, news emerged from China of the death of one of its leading nuclear scientists. Vice-president of Harbin Engineering University Zhang Zhijian reportedly “fell” from his building.
No Cause was Given amid Beijing’s resolute denials of a nuclear accident at the China Taishan power plant.”
My take on this is that the Cause of Death is As Plain as Day.
My reading of this incident is that the good Comrade Chairman is Sending a Message.
The Message Reads:
What We Haaa-ve Hea-ahh Is a Fail-Yuhhhh TO COMMUNICATE.
That IS the Cause of Death.
It seems that Chairman Chairman Xi is broadcasting this message throughout the land.
Mr Nyquist as a Member in Good Standing of the IMPOSSIBLE MISSION FORCE;…

TIME is OF THE ESSENCE.
“
That kind of defector is never going to interview with me. In truth, he has not told us anything truly damaging to China. Actually, he helps with their damage control. Having seen how things are unfolding, I think there is no doubt that the Chinese government unleashed the virus intentionally. I mean, Chinese New Year is the most trafficked day out of Wuhan and China. They incubated the pandemic with a careful view to this timing. Then, after the holiday, they closed down the city. What are the odds that this timing was accidental? It is a hundred to one! On the face of it, given what Trump did to them in the trade talks, the intentionality is clear for all to see. And now we have the icing on our cake. A high-level defector comes to tell us the virus escaped from the Wuhan lab on accident. Oh? And we are supposed to believe him? Anyone who thinks this through must assume that COVID-19 was a carefully planned and prepared attack. This spymaster will not tell us anything important. He only serves China’s propaganda. Really, the Chinese are getting boringly predictable.
RedState, which co-broke the story and is getting information directly from the DIA, appears to be reporting the opposite, that the defector is claiming the Virus was deliberately leaked:
“Pause for a moment and consider this. Our government now has additional evidence that a virus that killed 600,000 Americans, sickened millions more, nearly destroyed our economy, and inflicted untold collateral damage, was a bioweapon created by the Chinese military and deliberately released.”
https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2021/06/11/exclusive-defector-provides-evidence-that-the-chinese-military-orchestrated-the-creation-of-covid-19-and-lab-leak-n395384
The article itself says that the defector claims this was a bioweapon from the PLA and that it was “leaked,” but it is not saying that he is talking about an “accidental” leak.
It’s not 100% clear to me if RedState is saying that this is merely “additional” evidence of a “deliberate release,” as if the defector is just one piece of the puzzle, or if the defector’s statements are the evidence of deliberate release because that is what he is saying.
A more recent article from RedState states the defector also gave the DIA models from China predicting what kind of damage it will do to the USA and the world, which would support the idea that this is an intentional leak.
Furthermore, this Defector is undermining the CIA, FBI and the Biden administration by telling them that they are compromised by Chinese intelligence. The defector was kept secret from the “intelligence community” and even the Biden administration, and that this defector’s information is what is forcing the media to acknowledge that this was a designed virus.
A leak is “accidental” by definition. Nobody in this article refers to an intentional attack. Sorry.
Jeff: you have a point there. So far what has been revealed is nothing new that was not already known from other sources. But by revealing his information, is he trying to instigate a civil war? Or at least a military revolt like the Egyptian coup of 1952? Where lower officers revolt against traitorous political generals and admirals? Time is too short between his “defection” and later this summer for the creaky mechanism of our justice system to take care of our traitors, but long enough to divide our country.
Civil war is a key subtext here. Check out KGB Col. Igor Panarin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Panarin
Ad: “A leak is “accidental” by definition.”
It’s also intentional by definition.
Ad: “Nobody in this article refers to an intentional attack.”
Author of the article does it 4 times:
“- Defector Provides Evidence That the Chinese Military Orchestrated the Creation of COVID-19 and Lab Leak
– (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)
– was … leaked
– deliberately released”
Whether the original source does it is a different story.
I do not know where you are getting this from, but the original Red State story does not say the virus was intentionally released. It says the opposite. Furthermore, I saw a piece late yesterday that the U.S. Government is officially denying there was a Chinese defector. So this is pretty sketchy as it is.
Ad: “I do not know where you are getting this from”
“It’s also intentional by definition.” is from dictionaries of english and common usage.

I thought you were responding to that.
If you leak to a newspaper it is intentional. If a virus leaks from a lab, it is an accident. If you spring a leak, you need a diaper.
(Off topic) It’s unbelievable how even on Jeff’s blog you’ll find russian propaganda. In that sense, I feel like I’m back in the Obama era, after the election of antipope Bergoglio, when Putin were portrayed by many christians as the “Savior of Christendom”. In that time, Eurasianism was on the rise in some european conservative middles. Eurasianists even tried to infiltrate the catholic traditionalist movement, but they failed.
I wholeheartedly agree, Mr. Alex. These types are unashamedly spreading here, well, the Putin line! What’s tthe weather “down under” right now? Must be heading into deep winter soon (“dark” or not, pun intended…)
It is like I said before, “Is this ‘defector’ a Golitsyn or a Nosenko?”
And the question “Why would he defect from the winning side?” And of course he indicts the whole American political system. Well, it is right out of the KGB playbook.
And Alex, we ARE back in the Obama era.
The “disinformation” we see here Jeff has used to further open our eyes, at first I disagreed with him allowing it on his blog, but now I believe he is using it to serve an educational purpose.
“Boringly predictable” is also incredibly dangerous, we are not dealing with single predators, but pack hunters, and they are clearly prepping the battle space.
“They know we know they know we know …..”
The clock is ticking, it is June 22 today.
The unpredictable part is the attempt to trick America into a civil war. Watch the crazies on the far left snd right. But this is too tricky for the American people, and has not worked to date. A push will have to come from somewhere. Can we guess where? Two narratives are being prepared: the vaccine and election fraud. Watch these carefully.
Alexander Dugin is the one to watch. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin
Dugin is more of a fringe character in Russia, because it is understood,his flirtation with Fascism.
The Wiki article is also incorrect-to the point of defamation-about the nature of the ”Old Believer” Orthodox Christians and Dugin’s connection with them (he is said-not confirmed- to be a parishioner of one of the very small ”Edinovery” Old Believer group churches, who receive the original liturgical services at the hands of clergy from the official church). Old believers are not amused by the new paganism and esoteric occult concepts of Dugin. His thinking is deliberately ambiguous and nebulous; because it boils down to Fascism, Asiatic despotism, similar actually to that thinking of Baron Von Ungern-Sternberg who we’ve discussed before.
Dugin has been an enthusiastic follower of Alister Crowley. A total fraud, and a creature of the special services.
In reply to Ricardo Galvan;

So you subscribe to the racialist application of biological Darwinism to human beings, yes or no? And let me guess; you think that Russia is led by a new elite of Jews, right? Many of those ”best and brightest” were descendants of Germanic immigrants, correct?
”Russia is in a worse condition than even the most depraved cities in the West.”
So under your biological Darwinism applied to humans, are cities ”depraved” by the existence of biologically inferior human beings, yes or no?
”This is probably an advantage for us, but, then again, you don’t have to be terribly smart or noble to be a soldier. The Red Army in WW2 was going around gang raping the mothers and the daughters and finally executing them all with the gun jabbed inside their victim’s bodies. They even took photographs of such deeds.”
Sounds like wartime German propaganda to me. In fact,it actually was.
” These people went back to Russia victorious”
Are you upset by the historical Russian victory? Or are you upset at the German defeat?
”and went on to torture and even video their torture in the middle east, Georgia or the Ukraine. Fighting Russia is like fighting Mordor, with an army of Orcs and Goblins just waiting to massacre the innocent.”
People intent on murder and conquest engage in a long period of dehumanizing and demonizing rhetoric applied to their victims, to make it easier to kill and to plunder. Everything I read in you I read before in ”Mein Kampf”.
“In keeping with statements you make below, you’re intent on ”proving” that there are no Christians”
I never said there are no Christians in Russia. In my original response, I stated regular church attendance is extremely low (7% regular goers from an old survey, 6% according to a more recent article from 2019) amongst orthodox in Russia. I also stated that the Russian government actively persecutes non-Orthodox, since the Orthodox Church is a state religion run by the FSB.
I never stated there are “no Christians” in Russia.
I also stated that your argument that people feel “unworthy” to go to church was illogical for the unstated reason that it would mean that millions of orthodox at any given time don’t show up in surveys for this reason. Only 7 or 6 percent ever feel worthy. I also stated that there is no “underground church” and that “devout” orthodox will still go to communion, regardless if their Priest is an FSB agent.
“hat would undermine your racist thesis that Russians are subhuman ”Orcs” from ”Mordor”..”
It’s plain that if you kill the best and spare the worst, that the children are going to be as bad as the parents. One does not need to be an evil “Nazi” to understand this basic principle (but since you are a Monarchist, what is your opposition to Hitler and the Communists when they–along with yourself– are all totalitarian and would ultimately do the same things?). But it is a fact that Russian society is very degenerate. Sodomy, and even rapes unto death in the Russian military are notorious. These sorts of brutal and sexual torture also occurred in Chechnya, Syria, and Ukraine. In my last post, I mentioned that these things were epidemic in WW2 amongst Russian forces (you called this “German” propaganda, but there was no Germany left to produce propaganda)–it was a literal rape army that even sodomized the mothers and the daughters with their rifles as a form of execution. I’ve seen photographs of such atrocities from every major conflict Russia has engaged in, one recent one being from Syria where an alleged Syrian deserter had his hands crushed with a sledge hammer, was burned, tied up, stripped naked, mocked and hacked by Russian troops (although this was a video) and then ultimately burned. This is a very common thing. The Russian security services are also notorious for the degree of torture they’ve inflicted on people since the start of Communism in that country. These things are well documented and acknowledged.

Talking of Russia and its people as fertile grounds for your religious “Christian” monarchy is a huge joke. Russian soldiers, who are conscripts taken from the regular people, are the type of soldiers that would even make the armies of Genghis Khan shudder. They will absolutely kill millions of Americans, and with glee at that. “Christians” in Russia, whether so-called Orthodox or whatever denomination you favor, are an utter minority. And even the sainted Navalny has called for mass murder at times on his social media.
Mr. Galvan,I see you’re doubling down. When you’re in a hole you should stop digging. You said;
”I never said there are no Christians in Russia. In my original response, I stated regular church attendance is extremely low (7% regular goers from an old survey, 6% according to a more recent article from 2019) amongst orthodox in Russia.”
And I stated the timing and logistical reasons why ”regular church attendance” is misleading as an indicator.
”I also stated that the Russian government actively persecutes non-Orthodox, since the Orthodox Church is a state religion run by the FSB.”
The Russian government actively discourages cults. And, you know next to nothing about the internal workings of Orthodoxy in Russia
”I never stated there are “no Christians” in Russia.”
No, because everybody would think that absurd,you have to dial down your lunacy a little bit to even have the slightest shred of credibiity. What you do do, is insinuate that most Christians in Russia are nominal,by your metric.
”I also stated that your argument that people feel “unworthy” to go to church was illogical for the unstated reason that it would mean that millions of orthodox at any given time don’t show up in surveys for this reason.”
That’s absolutely correct, and not illogical at all. Russians have a severe hesitancy to answer polls and give out information about themselves, especially their personal beliefs
”Only 7 or 6 percent ever feel worthy.”
That’s not what I said, you’re making an exceedingly stupid strawman argument.
”I also stated that there is no “underground church””
Then you would be incorrect,or lying,because that is the truth. Not every Orthodox Christian is a ”Sergianist” in Russia, or even follows the ”Nikonian” official church since the 1600’s. I’ve made dozens of posts talking to Mr. Nyquist about this very thing.
”and that “devout” orthodox will still go to communion, regardless if their Priest is an FSB agent.”
Yes, they are not Donatist heretics, they reason that the waters of life will flow through a lead pipe, a sinner,as well as a gold one, a saint. Besides, one can be trained to literally spot snitches by certain liturgical ”tells”, and they never know why few people go to them personally.
”It’s plain that if you kill the best and spare the worst, that the children are going to be as bad as the parents.”
Read you Bible. That’s not the case in salvation history,and hasn’t been the case in Russia either.
”One does not need to be an evil “Nazi” to understand this basic principle (but since you are a Monarchist, what is your opposition to Hitler and the Communists when they–along with yourself– are all totalitarian and would ultimately do the same things?).”
Are you usually this funny, intentionally? Monarchism is Monarchism, it isn’t totalitarian. Was King David ”totalitarian”?
”But it is a fact that Russian society is very degenerate.”
Back to your demonization project.
”Sodomy, and even rapes unto death in the Russian military are notorious.”
Really? What’s your source, Ukrainian Fascist websites? Chechen Jihadists?
” These sorts of brutal and sexual torture also occurred in Chechnya, Syria, and Ukraine.”
Bingo, consider the sources! I have the feeling you really are someone who has an ethno-religious tribal hatred against Russians,it’s obvious, I don’t think you’re telling the truth about being a western protestant in origin.
” In my last post, I mentioned that these things were epidemic in WW2 amongst Russian forces (you called this “German” propaganda, but there was no Germany left to produce propaganda)–it was a literal rape army that even sodomized the mothers and the daughters with their rifles as a form of execution.”
Goebbels and his fellow propagandists were busy right upon to the very end. Yes, I do believe you are one upset about the German defeat, so either a neo-nazi or a Muslim radical, I suspect. Come on, don’t be shy…I recall you didn’t answer when I asked you if you were upset about the Russian victory/German defeat in WWII.
” I’ve seen photographs of such atrocities from every major conflict Russia has engaged in, one recent one being from Syria where an alleged Syrian deserter had his hands crushed with a sledge hammer, was burned, tied up, stripped naked, mocked and hacked by Russian troops (although this was a video) and then ultimately burned. This is a very common thing. The Russian security services are also notorious for the degree of torture they’ve inflicted on people since the start of Communism in that country. These things are well documented and acknowledged.”
I don’t like ”whataboutism” but I recall ”Abu Graib” and other Western atrocities. You probably are seething about those too, given your likely background. But war does indeed bring out the worst in people. Especially when they’restirredup by a Bandera or Hitler or Mullah somewhere, right?

Chechnya…. And the liberal organization ”human rights watch”….
”Talking of Russia and its people as fertile grounds for your religious “Christian” monarchy is a huge joke.”
The joke’s on you pal.
”Russian soldiers, who are conscripts taken from the regular people, are the type of soldiers that would even make the armies of Genghis Khan shudder.

Like I said before, what I read in you I read in a book written in 1924.
“Sources”
Those sources relied… on Russian witnesses. The first article was the Moscow Times, where even former spies expelled from the United States go to work. No one is claiming that Russian rape in the military is a lie in Russia. Only you on this forum, relying on people being ignorant of internal Russian problems. The other relied on survivors and witnesses. Typically, however, the Russians provide the evidence themselves.

I’m tempted here to post compilations and photos of Russian hazing in the military, but every single one would be considered pornographic, as the soldiers are raping each other, forcing penises into mouths at gun point, torturing and other such horrific things, as documented by the Russian soldiers themselves bragging at their homosexual hazing. You are no doubt familiar with them since you are Russian, but for the sake of other readers, I will not post them.
““That day, [the officers] promised to turn me out. They warned me that, like, they’ll rape me,” the Baza news website quoted Shamsutdinov as saying.
“I know they’d turned all the other young ones out before me. If that evening was my turn, I had nowhere to go, what should I have done?” Shamsutdinov reportedly said.”

Mass homosexual rape of Chechen men in public:
“According to Andrei Mironov of the Russian human rights organization Memorial, as cited by Miriam Lanskoy of Boston University, Russian forces stationed in Chechnya recently committed an organized mass rape of Chechen civilian males. During a fact-finding trip to the North Caucasus, Mironov learned of an incident which took place earlier this month: “Over 700 men (I was given a list of 762 names) were taken to a field. They [the Russian soldiers] raped a woman in front of them.” The Russian troops, Mironov related, then taunted the Chechen men, calling on them to defend the woman’s honor. Those who intervened, sixty-two men, were themselves then “handcuffed to an armored personnel carrier, and publicly raped.” “Never before have I heard about public rape,” Mironov commented, “Of course, people were systematically raped in prisons and detention centers, and [in] military units. This was intended to break their character. But now this is being done in public.” Mironov added that many of the Chechen men who had been publicly raped vowed that they would now become suicide attackers (Eurasianet, July 19).”

“Abudhabi”
Nothing exists on the western side of things on the scale of what occurs in Russia, even Abhu Dhabi. Your whattaboutism simply can’t match the sheer scale of Russian depravity.
“Read you Bible. That’s not the case in salvation history”
In light of the above, we might call Russia Sodom and Gomorrah, two ancient cities that God didn’t hesitate to condemn in mass. There’s also Gog and Magog, the beast with the hook in its mouth dragged to the final battle between heaven and hell, or maybe a den of iniquity and murder, or maybe one of the epithets attached to Jerusalem before it was destroyed.
As for your acceptance of persecution of “cults” (calling Protestants cults?) and other nonsense denials (Russians don’t answer polls!? But they even post photos of their penises in the mouth of their tortured victims!), they have no credibility, same as you.
Mr. Nyquist, you replied to me thusly;
”One needs a governing class that prizes honor so highly that it cannot be bribed, and will not stoop to extortion. The old aristocratic ethic, so long as it holds, is the only one that approached this — however imperfectly. ”
Ah,yes, that is the needle to be threaded, a discussion as old as Plato in ”The Republic” and ”The Laws”. And not only that, but is it to be hereditary or meritocratic, or some combination of both? I would aver that the response of such a class to the popular will and common good is a good indication of whether it is Aristocratic in the best sense, or is in fact Oligarchic.
An example from Russian history might be demonstrative; Most of the Boyars during the Smutnoye Vremya were Oligarchic scum. But the Rurikid Prince Dimitri Pozharsky rose up, in alliance with the charismatic meat butcher from Novgorod Kuzma Minin, to drive out the foreign invaders with a People’s Army. Afterwards, the popular will was that Prince Pozharsky be made Tsar, but during the Zemsky Sobor the Boyars intrigued and Michael Romanov was crowned instead. And the Romanovs inaugurated their reign with the first order of business being the execution of a five year old boy, the son of one of the ”false Dimitry” claimants, the boy’s body being hung upon the walls of the Kremlin. It was popularly regarded as an foul sign, of course, a beginning in innocent blood being shed.
It’s obvious who the Aristocrats were and who were the Oligarchs.
And Mr.Nyquist, the outcome of the Smutnoe Vremya, the setting up of a collaborationist regime and foreign occupation, followed by a people’s war and an expulsion of the foreigners, is an outcome whose lessons are not lost on any Russian who knows their own history. How this relates to a ”Red Dawn” scenario might have a creative and fruitful discussion.
Indeed. Our American Boyars are even worse than the Russian ones.
Sadly, real aristocrats are rare — and only appear in special places at special times.
And yet what a blessing from above they truly are-if the people have the wisdom to recognize them when their time comes.
Exactly. Just like Zawisza the Black whom I’ve presented to you few months ago. And his followers. However, the aristocracy in Poland has been acquiring more and more privileges and power, slowly becoming more and more cosmopolitan to finally contributing to the downfall of Poland. The current situation in the US resembles Poland in the late 18-th Century. Let’s hope that the history will be less cruel towards America than towards Poland
Regards – Bogdan
Oh, it’s going to be cruel.
Vladimir :
So Russian soldiers did not commit atrocities in Poland ( and yes East Germany also ) ? Including against civilians and women ? I just want you to make clear your position.
I am not sure you want to go too far down that road. He will end up mentioning Dresden, Hiroshima, etc.
There is enough excrement on everyone’s clothes,so no need for all the ”you too” and ”not better” talk. But, I will say that in the context of the Great Patriotic War the crimes of the Fascists were on a existential and cosmic scale. Nothing any of the Allies did reaches such abomination.
Hitler had exterminationist intentions toward the Russians. His valet, Heinz Linge, touched on this in his memoirs. Also, Walter Schellenberg wanted the Russian people to be an ally. But he was over-ruled and had to seek Himmler’s protection because so many others wanted his head.
Apparently, the World Wide Covid Live Exercise, was just a drill. Russia and China are in on the gag. Perhaps it was preparation for ET invasion. Juneteenth is the official end of slavery. As if mask for vaccination mandates don’t violate the Equal Protections clause of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits such creation of second class citizenship.
Mr. Nyquist, I had suggested earlier that you might try to get on Gab. But the more I look at things posted there, the more question marks I have. For example, the founder Andrew Torba, and others, regularly puts some anti-Jewish statements on there. I understand we must put America before other countries, but that the founder and others are promoting the idea that Jews are conspiring against the U.S, raises a red flag to me. Also, there are Nazis, or at least people pretending to be Nazis, making antiCommunist statements. I feel they may actually be Communists trying to discredit antiCommunist sentiment. I feel they would probably flock to your page in order to discredit you and the information you put out. Gab may not be the route to go.
I saw that, too, so I did not sign up. Please note: there are real Nazis out there. More now than I imagined there could be.
Duly noted. I didnt realize there were that many. Thank you.
Jeff, did you see that a US Ohio class “boomer” (definitely not a SSGN cruise missile carrier) made a 40 minute stop over in San Diego Bay yesterday? Exactly what would they do this for that couldn’t be coptered in (You don’t have to answer that question)?
New weapon system.
How could they add a new weapon system in 40 minutes?
Because that is how long it took to move it on board.

Mr. Nyquist,you said about Alexander Dugin that;
”Dugin has been an enthusiastic follower of Alister Crowley. A total fraud, and a creature of the special services.”
Interesting that Aleister Crowley himself was the creature of certain intelligence agencies in his times. I will say that Eurasianism as a geopolitical philosophy does not suffer in it’s pedigree by Dugin’s attempted association with it. There are men who wrote much good things worthy of reflection who were ”Eurasianists” long before Dugin came on the scene;
Dostyoevsky’s friend Nicholai Danilevsky;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolay_Danilevsky
The deeply historically pessimistic Konstantin Leontiev;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Leontiev
While Dugin bears more relation to the Soviet era Eurasianist (whose mother Anna Akhmetova coined the phrase;’new lies for old’ in her poetry) Lev Gumilyov;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev_Gumilyov
Whose ”Passionarity” is an interesting concept.
But nobody in Russia who praises Asiatic nomad invasions and the Mongol Yoke is going to get too far, I hope….Not to mention that some fell for the ”Trust” operation (and others were part of It).
Good overview.
Yes,I thought you’d probably like reading Leontiev. He after all by several decades before Oswald Spengler wrote of the organic development of cultures and their cyclic rise and falls. As english Wiki states;
”Preceding the latter’s theory of the cyclical nature of civilizations and The Decline of the West by several decades, Leontiev proposed that all societies undergo a state of flowering and increasing complexity followed by one of “secondary simplification”, decay and, ultimately, death. Leontiev felt that the West had reached the beginning of secondary simplification.
A pessimist, Leontiev made several predictions that turned out to come true. He prophesied that in the 20th century, there would be a bloody revolution in Russia led by an “anti-Christ” that would be socialist and tyrannical in nature and whose rulers would wield even more power than their tsarist predecessors. He said, “Socialism is the feudalism of the future”.[3] He felt that only the harshest reaction could prevent that scenario.
He also predicted that Germany would grow strong enough to make up to two wars against Russia and that China also would eventually threaten Russia’s power. He also claimed that technology would one day lead to universal destruction. ”
That’s not to say that Leontiev and others were opposed to a ”Socialism” that was organic to Russia and it’s cultural development, communal and collective without obliterating hierarchy and distinctions and the human person. But that ”Socialism” has nothing to do with Marxism (Marx by the way was rabidly Anti-Slav and hated Russia, in many ways a typical racist German ultra-nationalist of the 19th century)
Initially, a Russian ”Eurasianist” was basically stating the obvious; that Russia is neither East or West, but is it’s own Culture, and that Tsar Peter’s attempts at Westernization are doomed to fail.
Dugin however is entirely Asiatic in his thinking, going further than Gumilyev and lending credence to the worst Western slurs against Russia and the Russian people. His ”Eurasia” of his imagination is basically the Golden Horde, not Russia….
Dugin uses philosophical texts in a peculiar way. His focus is pure anti-Americanism. Yet he puts on a different face for Americans.
Jeff :
Just a thought. That Communism in its deeper sense could be called Revolutionism. I like the use of -ism at the end of words. Materialism puts the physical world and material goods on an unreal and sometimes immoral pedestal. Scientism puts science as the answer to everything and applies science where it has no business. Revolutionism treats revolution as an idol. The answer to our problems. An end in itself, not a means. Revolution as an obsession, mixed with power madness and bloodlust. ( Not sure if I made that up or read it somewhere. I’m not always original ). Food for thought.
Yes. That is something to think about.
Vladimir wrote, “The break between the modern and pre-modern human mind, regardless of whether the pre-moderns were Christian,Jewish,Pagan,or Islamic,is profound. It is almost as if there was the birth of a new species of mankind 500 years ago.
And the route to Communism naturally proceeds from Modernity, it is it’s logical result.”
He’s right on the first point, The more common name for that birth of modernism is the Reformation. This was not a biological birth of a new man, rather a philosophical revolution. Those areas not affected by the Reformation remained backwards, not biological backwards but philosophical.
However, he’s wrong on his second point. Communism proceeds from a rejection of modernism. It proceeds from a reversion, a slipping back, to paganism. An example is Darwin’s rejection of modern science to embrace Aristotelianism, which was the basis of medieval “science”. Yet it’s called “post-modernism” to make it sound like an advance. Post-modernism is over two centuries old. People and places have resisted post-modernism, which is why there are still traces of modernism in this world.
One of the results of post-modernism is a breakdown of morality. Notice, the leaders of communism are sociopaths with a complete lack of morality. The elites in the West display the same sociopathic tendencies, thanks to their embrace of post-modernism.
Now to return to the theme of Red Dawn, it makes sense for Russia and China to use nukes against major population centers. Biologic weapons are cheaper, but they are also slower. It is widely reported in the independent media that the Pfizer and Moderna shots are the second stage of a bio-weapon, but it may take years for those shots to kill. Nuking major population centers will result in a rapid reduction of the population that may number in the tens of millions. Seeing major cities under mushroom clouds also has a shock value. But Russia, China and all their allies don’t have enough nukes to take care of all the little towns like Nevada, Iowa or Muleshoe, Texas. Those will have to be taken care of by boots on the ground.
They need to hold most nukes back to threaten other countries. Yes.
I beg to differ with you about the Protestant revolution (I could write a book about the direct line between Martin Luther and Adolf Hitler, but here is not the place to write about it), but revolutionaries often try to deny paternity when their spiritual descendants are even worse than they were.
Vladimir: the Nazis already wrote your book. They lied. Will you repeat their lies?
Any line you propose linking Luther whose inspiration was the Bible (who was a man who made mistakes), and Hitler a pagan who persecuted and killed Lutherans, will by necessity go through heretics who denied Luther’s teachings. Those heretics break your line.
As I wrote before, post-modernism is a rejection of modernism and a return to paganism. The present post-modern movement had its start a little over two centuries ago. Europe was never 100% Christian, but its pagans were for the most part in the closet until the beginning of post-modernism. Communism is a post-modern religion. Darwin was a post-modern thinker. Hitler was a post-modern pagan. And so forth.
There is no intellectually honest line that connects modernism with post-modernism that rejects modernism.
The country with the largest percentage of modernists in the world today is the U.S. That’s why we must be destroyed in order for paganism to triumph. That’s why the communists will attack. Here we are a shrinking minority but still speaking out.
And the Church Fathers had nice things to say about Jews? Your illogical and deceptive nonsense just never ends.
Can we please stay away from religious topics?

Well,he ”disguises” it as what he regards as the battle between Water Powers and Earth Powers, between the ”Thassalocratic” and the ”Telluric” regimes; Atlantis versus Hyperborea, Athens versus Sparta, Rome versus Carthage, and now ”Eurasia” versus the West.
Recently he modified his dualism (in regards to America) into a battle between the Thassolocratic coastal liberal states of the USA versus the Telluric conservative heartland states.
There is some truth to this view, yet he uses it in a subtle propagandistic way. Albion vs. France (Seven Years War) worked out very different than his formula.
This is true,in your example of the Seven Years War and ”Albion vs. France”. After that with the rise of Germany in 1870, England needed the second great continental power in Western Europe (France) to help contain the first great continental power (Germany), and somehow have both contain Russia. Of course had Russia, Germany, and Austria-Hungary held to the ”Drei Kaiser Bund”, there would have never been anything England or France could do…
Article by Vladimir Putin ”Being Open, Despite the Past“
An article by the President of Russia has been published in the German weekly newspaper Die Zeit and is timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic war.

Being Open, Despite the Past
On June 22, 1941, exactly 80 years ago, the Nazis, having conquered practically the whole of Europe, attacked the USSR. For the Soviet people the Great Patriotic War – the bloodiest one in the history of our country – began. Tens of millions of people lost their lives, the economic potential of the country and its cultural property were severely damaged.
We are proud of the courage and steadfastness of the heroes of the Red Army and home front workers who not only defended the independence and dignity of our homeland, but also saved Europe and the world from enslavement. Despite attempts to rewrite the pages of the past that are being made today, the truth is that Soviet soldiers came to Germany not to take revenge on the Germans, but with a noble and great mission of liberation. We hold sacred the memory of the heroes who fought against Nazism. We remember with gratitude our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition, participants in the Resistance movement, and German anti-fascists who brought our common victory closer.
Having lived through the horrors of the world war, the peoples of Europe were nevertheless able to overcome alienation and restore mutual trust and respect. They set a course for integration in order to draw a final line under the European tragedies of the first half of the last century. And I would like to emphasize that the historical reconciliation of our people with the Germans living both in the east and the west of modern united Germany played a huge role in the formation of such Europe.
I would also like to remind that it was German entrepreneurs who became ”pioneers“ of cooperation with our country in the post-war years. In 1970, the USSR and the Federal Republic of Germany concluded a ”deal of the century“ on long-term natural gas supplies to Europe that laid the foundation for constructive interdependence and initiated many future grand projects, including the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
We hoped that the end of the Cold War would be a common victory for Europe. It seemed that just a little more effort was needed to make Charles de Gaulle’s dream of a single continent – not even geographically ”from the Atlantic to the Urals“, but culturally and civilizationally ”from Lisbon to Vladivostok“ – become a reality.
It is exactly with this logic in mind – the logic of building a Greater Europe united by common values and interests – that Russia has sought to develop its relations with the Europeans. Both Russia and the EU have done a lot on this path.
But a different approach has prevailed. It was based on the expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance which was itself a relic of the Cold War. After all, it was specifically created for the confrontation of that era.
It was the bloc’s movement eastwards – which, by the way, began when the Soviet leadership was actually persuaded to accept the united Germany’s accession to NATO – that turned into the main reason for the rapid increase in mutual mistrust in Europe. Verbal promises made in that time such as ”this is not directed against you“ or ”the bloc’s borders will not get closer to you“ were quickly forgotten. But a precedent was set.
And since 1999, five more “waves” of NATO expansion have followed. Fourteen new countries, including the former Soviet Union republics, joined the organization, effectively dashing hopes for a continent without dividing lines. Interestingly, this was warned about in the mid-1980s by Egon Bahr, one of the SPD leaders, who proposed a radical restructuring of the entire European security system after German unification, involving both the USSR and the United States. But no one in the USSR, the USA or Europe was willing to listen to him at the time.
Moreover, many countries were put before the artificial choice of being either with the collective West or with Russia. In fact, it was an ultimatum. The Ukrainian tragedy of 2014 is an example of the consequences that this aggressive policy has led to. Europe actively supported the unconstitutional armed coup in Ukraine. This was where it all started. Why was it necessary to do this? Then incumbent president Yanukovych had already accepted all the demands of the opposition. Why did the USA organize the coup and the European countries weak-heartedly support it, provoking a split within Ukraine and the withdrawal of Crimea?
The whole system of European security has now degraded significantly. Tensions are rising and the risks of a new arms race are becoming real. We are missing out on the tremendous opportunities that cooperation offers – all the more important now that we are all facing common challenges, such as the pandemic and its dire social and economic consequences.
Why does this happen? And most importantly, what conclusions should we draw together? What lessons of history should we recall? I think, first and foremost, that the entire post-war history of Greater Europe confirms that prosperity and security of our common continent is only possible through the joint efforts of all countries, including Russia. Because Russia is one of the largest countries in Europe. And we are aware of our inseparable cultural and historical connection to Europe.
We are open to honest and constructive interaction. This is confirmed by our idea of creating a common space of cooperation and security from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean which would comprise various integration formats, including the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union.
I reiterate that Russia is in favour of restoring a comprehensive partnership with Europe. We have many topics of mutual interest. These include security and strategic stability, healthcare and education, digitalization, energy, culture, science and technology, resolution of climate and environmental issues.
The world is a dynamic place, facing new challenges and threats. We simply cannot afford to carry the burden of past misunderstandings, hard feelings, conflicts, and mistakes. It is a burden that will prevent us from concentrating on the challenges at hand. We are convinced that we all should recognize these mistakes and correct them. Our common and indisputable goal is to ensure security on the continent without dividing lines, a common space for equitable cooperation and inclusive development for the prosperity of Europe and the world as a whole.
Should Moscow be the capital of Europe?
Mr Nyquist, you wrote about Igor Panarin (who I have read and watched before, along with professor Andrei Fursov);
”Civil war is a key subtext here. Check out KGB Col. Igor Panarin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org
/wiki/Igor_Panarin”
Funny thing, that whatever his background decades ago, Panarin cannot be a doctrinaire Marxist Leninist,I’m thinking. Why do I say that? Because he writes on his website an article about the famous Russian General Skobolev (one of my favorites!), who helped conquer Central Asia and helped liberate Bulgaria from the Turks. And why would that be important?
Because Panarin mentions Skobolev dying under very mysterious and even convenient circumstances detrimental to Russia at a critical time, when Skobolev was beginning to become politically involved in what Marxist-Leninists would call ”Reactionary” and ”Populist” circles, while at the same time making Romanovs rather uneasy…Panarin doesn’t write like a Marxist Leninist, if he’s not a Russian patriot he certainly is doing a very good impression of one. Sure, he predicted the USA’s collapse into several new nations by 2010 (and caught a lot of hell for that when 2010 came and went), but prediction isn’t exactly the same as trying to bring it about either. Mainly he seems to write about European and World Civilization going into a phase which will be (in his opinion) animated by Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy.
Here’s the article in question;
http://panarin.com/istoria/70-general-skobelev-osvoboditel-bolgarii.html
With a critical part here towards the end;
”Alexander III, who ascended the throne in March 1881, was wary of the loud glory of the “White General”. Mikhail Skobelev’s worldview was formed several years before the end of his life. Already at the end of the war in the Balkans, he said: ” My symbol is short: love for the Fatherland; science and Slavs. On these whales we will build such a political force that neither enemies nor friends will be afraid of us! And there is nothing to think about the belly, for the sake of these great goals let us make all the sacrifices. ” It was in the last years of his life that the general became close to the Slavophils and especially I.S. Aksakov, who influenced him a lot, which was noticed by his contemporaries. With Aksakov and the Slavophils, he was brought together by common views on the foreign policy of Russia, which they all considered unpatriotic, dependent on external influence.This conviction developed in Skobelev after the Berlin Congress, where the statesmen of the non-belligerent European powers dictated their terms to the victorious Russia. Skobelev was an ardent supporter of the liberation and unification of the Slavic peoples, but without a harsh dictatorship from Russia. It should be noted that his attitude to the Slavs was romantic-altruistic, similar to the position of F.M. Dostoevsky.”
In June 1882, he died under very strange circumstances in the Moscow Hotel Dusseau. “Heart paralysis” has been officially reported. But rumors circulated around the Mother See: some assumed that agents of foreign states or Masons had poisoned him, others considered it a political murder. And until now the secret of his death remains a secret sealed with seven seals …
… Skobelev’s funeral turned into a grandiose popular demonstration. From the Church of the Three Saints to the station, the coffin was carried in their arms. Along the entire movement of the funeral train, to the very homeland of Skobelev – the village of Spassky, peasants with priests came out to the railway – whole villages, towns with banners and banners.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Mikhail Dmitrievich could decisively change the course of all Russian history. There is no doubt that it was he who would become the Minister of War. And if this happened, then, probably, Skobelev became commander-in-chief during the Far Eastern campaign of 1904-05. And, of course, he would not have missed the victories either at Liaoyang or at Mukden, and would have saved Port Arthur, and the entire campaign as a whole. Then the political situation in Russia would have been completely different and, quite possibly, the country’s development would have gone on a more successful track, without the revolutions of 1905 and 1917. But, alas, history cannot be rewritten …”
See what I mean,Mr. Nyquist?
Someone just told me that Putin recently mentioned Russia’s place in a future United Europe. Can you imagine?
And by ”making Romanovs rather uneasy”, I mean a direct threat to their dynasty, General Skobolev was that popular and well regarded. Kaiser Wilhelm wrote to his cousin Tsar Nicholas (in the famous ”Willy and Nicky” letters, written in English); ”Dont [sic] forget Skobelew and his plan for carrying off the Imperial family at a dinner once?” .I think they killed the General.
Curious.
Yes. As H.L. Mencken once said, “Never make predictions, especially about the future.” It is worth remarking that it is always a curious thing what KGB Colonels say and what they privately think. You will always find an odd differential there. Careers under such a system are what they are. As it happens, the academic KGB folks are often very interesting people. A lot of learning there, unusual opinions, an unexpected breadth of insights. Analyst creativity is tolerated provided they are loyal. That is the key. Certainly, Panarin is keeping to the fashions of the moment (as opposed to the underlying substance). Perhaps if apparatchiks pretend long enough to be Russian patriots, some will become Russian patriots. Of course, it doesn’t matter what a Colonel believes. He is not running the show. But his ideas are suggestive.
They are suggestive indeed. While I do not share some of his enthusiasms I do understand them in their context. There is a defining video of Panarin which I’ll share;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwZpk5lg_pg
As to General Skobolev, as a history devotee as I am, you might enjoy reading an english language book about him, first his military campaigns and then his career as a politician, by a friend of his;
https://archive.org/details/personalreminisc00nemi
And this;
https://books.google.com/books?id=KsIEAAAAYAAJ&q=dusseaux#v=snippet&q=dusseaux&f=false
Field Marshal Montgomery said that General Skobolev was the world’s greatest military commander of the period 1814 to 1914 (died in the 1880’s), and it’s easy to see why. watching this classic Russo-Bulgarian movie, the ”Heroes of Shipka”;

As to President Putin and a ”United Europe”…. Given his Westernizing background (all Russian rulers have been favorable to the West and it’s ideas in some fashion since the 17th century,Tsars or Commisars) I’m sure he wants unity with the West. But I think we are incompatible given the larger but more concealed spiritual and cultural problems.
R.O., you replied to me that;
”Vladimir: the Nazis already wrote your book. They lied. Will you repeat their lies?
Any line you propose linking Luther whose inspiration was the Bible (who was a man who made mistakes), and Hitler a pagan who persecuted and killed Lutherans, will by necessity go through heretics who denied Luther’s teachings. Those heretics break your line.”
I suppose you have read Luther’s ”Table Talk”? And Luther’s ”On the Jews and their lies”?
”As I wrote before, post-modernism is a rejection of modernism and a return to paganism. The present post-modern movement had its start a little over two centuries ago. Europe was never 100% Christian, but its pagans were for the most part in the closet until the beginning of post-modernism. Communism is a post-modern religion. Darwin was a post-modern thinker. Hitler was a post-modern pagan. And so forth.”
Not sure I buy into your nomenclature on ”modernism” and ”post-modernism”,but it is true that many people are pagans at heart.
”There is no intellectually honest line that connects modernism with post-modernism that rejects modernism.”
It’s like I said, even with knowing about Derrida, etc…They started from a naturalist and rationalist foundation, all Hume and Kant did was re-arrange the deck chairs on a sinking ship.
”The country with the largest percentage of modernists in the world today is the U.S. That’s why we must be destroyed in order for paganism to triumph. That’s why the communists will attack. Here we are a shrinking minority but still speaking out.”
Have you seen the layout of Washington D.C.? It’s statues and temples, murals and such? I say this because it’s a Pagan city through and through literally by design. Sure, St.Petersburg in Russia is the same way and built by people with similar worldviews, but still…
Mr. Nyquist, you asked me;
”Should Moscow be the capital of Europe? ”
Lenin didn’t want it to be,that’s for sure. He wanted the capital of Europe to be Berlin. Besides, everyone should know deep down that the capitol of Europe is Rome.
Moscow should be the capital of Russia.
