The Inversion of Jordan Peterson

We cannot do without the Russians on our side….

Jordan Peterson [i]

The feigned disunity of the communist world promotes real disunity in the noncommunist world.

Anatoliy Golitsyn [ii]

In his recent video on “Russia vs. Ukraine,” Jordan Peterson said that the West must join with Russia in order to counterbalance China; but, like most influential celebrities, Peterson has yet to realize that China and Russia have been secretly working together for a long time. He has not awakened to the fact that President Richard Nixon’s opening to China was a strategic blunder, and partnering with Russia at the end of the Cold War was also a blunder. Russia is now the world’s leading nuclear power, bar none. China is now the greatest industrial power in the world, bar none. Power of this kind is not attained by accident, but by policy. And the West, led by the United States, facilitated the strengthening of these hostile regimes.

Listening to Peterson’s video on the Ukraine War, I see that he does not know about a KGB strategy known as the “fake split.” In 1958 KGB Chairman Alexander Shelepin gave a lecture on how the KGB’s deception “machinery” could be used to engineer “fake splits” between countries of the communist bloc. The idea was to trick America into helping one communist country against another on the assumption that the two countries really had become enemies.[iii] Not all splits within the communist world have been faked, of course; but in his 1958 lecture Shelepin let slip that communist China was the ideal country for Moscow to have a “fake split” with. If this sort of scheme is thought to be too grandiose to be real, think again. The history of the Soviet Union is littered with grandiose schemes and outlandish deceptions; from Operation Trust in the 1920s, [iv] to the denial of the Ukraine terror famine in the 1930s, the WiN deception of the 1940s, and the perestroika deception of the 1980s. Russian power has continuously engaged in “active measures” to distort and confuse Western thought. The West’s media and intelligence services have been swindled by the communists, again and again.[v] In the short span of 32 years, Lenin’s followers got control of the world’s largest country (Russia) and the world’s most populous country (China). This suggests that communist leaders are gifted deception strategists. Given this history, should the West have taken the Sino-Soviet split at face value? The answer is “no.”

Because Peterson does not have a background in Soviet strategy, and because he is unfamiliar with the deception practices of the Russian special services, he blames the emerging alliance between Beijing and Moscow on the West’s “self-aggrandizing” behavior in Ukraine. He thinks we have driven Russia into China’s arms. He suggests that we are treating Vladimir Putin “like a cornered rat.” It is better, says Peterson, to make Putin into our partner. Of course, this was our policy twenty years ago; and it failed.

Many countries are now succumbing to communism because we made Moscow and Beijing our partners more than thirty years ago; and this cannot be a coincidence. Look at Peterson’s own country, Canada, and its slide toward communism under Justin Trudeau. In fact, communists are coming to power all over the Western Hemisphere – in Peru, Chile, and Colombia. Communists are entrenched in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela. Rather than marking the end of communism, the fall of the Soviet Union marked the stealthy acceleration of communist subversion around the world.

If we look at things from a strategic standpoint, Soviet-dominated Eastern Europe was the proverbial “poison pawn” in a Russian gambit that almost failed. In blaming the West for taking that “poison pawn,” Peterson has forgotten the ABCs of totalitarianism: NATO’s provocation against Russia was not its eastward expansion. NATO has provoked Moscow by being weak and stupid. In fact, nothing exemplifies our weakness and stupidity more than our readiness to form combinations with Moscow and Beijing by turns. For us, the “China card” was a crutch. And now Peterson wants us to play the “Russia card.” As KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn wrote nearly four decades ago, “False alignments, formed with third parties by each side against the other, make it easier to achieve specific communist goals, such as the acquisition of advanced technology or the negotiation of arms control agreements or communist penetration of the Arab and African states.”[vi]

Contrary to Peterson’s narrative, America and the West took Moscow at its word in December 1991 when the hammer and sickle flag was taken down from the Kremlin. And since NATO was no longer Russia’s enemy, why would Moscow mind NATO expansion? Some observers thought Russia was going to join NATO. After all, the West gave Russia credits, technology, and billions in investments and payoffs. At the same time America acted as if the Cold War was over, neglecting or destroying its nuclear weaponry. Yet Russia did the opposite. In fact, Russian pundits have openly bragged that Moscow outwitted the West. For example, a mocking Pravda article from November 2014 completely contradicts Peterson’s narrative of NATO driving Russia into China’s arms:

…Russia overcame the inertia of collapse and started reviving its power, while the West, being lulled by sweet day-dreams of the liberal ‘end of history,’ castrated its armed forces to the point, when they could be good [only] for leading colonial wars with weak and technically backward enemies. The balance of forces in Europe has thus changed in Russia’s favor.”[vii]

Dmitry Sudakov, the writer of this article, is not bemoaning Russia’s fate at the hands of an aggressive NATO alliance. He is laughing at the West’s idiocy. “The illusion of world supremacy played a cruel joke on Washington,” added Sudakov. “The West, having discarded Russia, had been cutting its tanks and destroying its tactical nuclear weapons. Russia, feeling its own weakness, kept all tanks and tactical nuclear weapons.” Thus: “When the Americans realized that [they had fallen behind], it was too late. In December 2010, Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, Rose Gottemoeller, sounded the alarm. The Russians had more tactical nuclear systems that the USA, she said.”[viii]

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not an act of desperation. It was an act of exploitation. Russia and China are now attempting to shift – or have already shifted – the balance of power in their favor. Some countries have already understood the nature of this shift. Consequently, Russia’s BRICS[ix] alliance is about to expand. It is whispered abroad that Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are preparing to join BRICS. If Saudi Arabia turns away from America and joins with Russia and China, an oil embargo might be used to break up NATO or force the realignment of Japan.   

Of course, Jordan Peterson may not care because he thinks that America and the West are less deserving of survival than “Christian” Russia. At the same time, our fool of a president “fist bumped” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman instead of shaking his hands during a recent Middle East visit. Biden also suggested, however indelicately, that the Crown Prince had murdered journalist Adnan Khashoggi.

While Peterson would make enemies into friends, Biden would make friends into enemies. Here are two sides of the same coin. Russian active measures have successfully disoriented Western leaders and opinion-makers. This disorientation gives significant advantages to Moscow and Beijing. The first rule in politics is to know who your friends are, and know who your enemies are. While Biden is a lost cause in this regard, Peterson may be open to changing his mind. Contrary to what Henry Kissinger built his career on, we cannot safely make friends with anyone we please. A cunning enemy will respond to an offer of friendship with false friendship. And what is more dangerous than a false friend? Fifteen years ago, SVR/KGB defector Sergei Tretyakov told journalist Pete Earley,

I want to warn Americans. As a people, you are very naïve about Russia and its intentions. You believe because the Soviet Union no longer exists, Russia is now your friend. It isn’t, and I can show you how the SVR is trying to destroy the U.S. even today and even more than the KGB did during the Cold War.[x]

A False Moral Tone

Jordan Peterson became a celebrity because he refused to go along with laws enforcing non-binary gender pronouns. He risked his career for the sake of free speech and many of us admired his outspoken and courageous stand. But now, in terms of the moral tone of Peterson’s discourse, his condemnation of Russian military aggression rings hollow. In fact, his analysis of the Ukraine War is riddled with equivocal statements.

According to Peterson, Putin is “a thug,” yet a “practicing Christian.” Peterson says the Ukraine invasion is “unconscionable,” yet Russia is a “bulwark against the moral decadence of the West.” Peterson says Putin collaborates with “a genuine philosopher, Alexander Dugin,” yet Peterson does not tell us that Dugin’s philosophy calls for the destruction of America and the smashing of liberal civilization. Out of this, a question rises up: What happened to Peterson’s moral discernment?

Here is Peterson’s thesis about the Ukraine War. He begins with the following question: “Are we [the West] degenerate in a profoundly threatening manner?” Peterson thinks the answer to the question “may well be yes.” Pointing to the culture war, he asks: “How serious is that war? Is it serious enough to increase the probability that Russia … would be motivated to invade and potentially incapacitate Ukraine – merely to keep the pathological West out of that country?”

To test Peterson’s thesis let us assume America is the prototype of Western degeneracy. Let us then compare America’s per capita drug overdose and abortion rates with Russia’s. After all, who would argue that the less degenerate country would have a higher number of drug overdoses and abortions? By this measure, of course, Russia is more degenerate than the United States. For example, a 2014 RT report states that 100,000 people die from drug overdoses every year in Russia.[xi] The same statistic for Americans in 2014 was 47,055.[xii] But then, America has more than twice as many people as Russia has. In per capita terms, this means Russia has roughly four and a half times the overdose rate as America. If we look at abortion, we find an even more interesting statistic. Despite a large drop in abortions over the past decade, Russia still has the highest per capita abortion rate in the world. The 2022 abortion rate in Russia was 53.7 compared to 20.8 for the United States.[xiii]

Question: Did Peterson give any real thought to his bizarre hypothesis of comparative Western degeneracy before promoting the idea? Quite obviously, it is inconceivable that he took any trouble with it at all. Furthermore, as he is an intellectual superstar, some people will take his malign anti-Western hypothesis as a profound insight. So, the question arises: Why is Peterson doing this? Why is he being so irresponsible with such a serious subject? Why forward pro-Russian/anti-Western bigotry to over 1.4 million online followers?

In his book, Hitler and the Germans, the political philosopher Eric Voegelin explained that our “first reality” is moral. It is Truth. And those who want to evade the Truth end up adopting a false reality which “permits killing” and other horrors. This is the essence of moral degeneracy, according to Voegelin. In the case of Jordon Peterson, we have a professor who once stood against moral degeneracy; but now he inexplicably offers an apologia for killing and other horrors perpetrated by Russia against Ukraine. Voegelin wrote, “this kind of cooperation is participation in crime, which falls under the notion of accessory.”[xiv]

One becomes an accessory after the fact by providing rhetorical cover for malefactors engaged in mass slaughter. For what else do we call it when a man suggests that the West is “degenerate in a profoundly threatening manner” thereby compelling Russia “to invade and potentially incapacitate Ukraine – merely to keep the pathological West out of that country?” This becomes more egregious when accompanied by Peterson’s grotesquely cynical comment that nobody “gives a damn about Ukraine.” And then Peterson conjures up the Holodomor – Stalin’s terror famine against Ukraine, suggesting that Western observers who oppose the invasion of Ukraine are hypocrites because they do not know what the Holodomor is. This insult to Ukraine’s supporters is compounded by the obscenity of a discourse that nowhere admits the validity of the Ukrainian cause or the courage with which Ukrainians are defending their country.  

It would have been far more respectable if Peterson had only said, “I believe we should abandon Ukraine because a nuclear war with Russia is not worth the risk.” We could then discuss the merits of appeasement versus confrontation. But Peterson says the West does not have the moral high ground. We have no right to oppose Russian atrocities. He suggests that the West has morally contaminated Ukraine so that Russia has been forced to stem the pestilence. There is only one faux pa in Peterson’s presentation: He failed to describe Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as “a special military operation.” As noted earlier, Peterson says the West is “self-aggrandizing” – a crime far worse than invading a neighboring country after declaring that it is no country at all; then knocking down its cities, killing and kidnapping tens of thousands of its citizens, and blocking grain shipments to starving countries in Africa.

Anna Politkovskaya was a Russian journalist. She was brutally assassinated in 2006. Here is what she said about Putin before her death: “I Dislike him for a matter-of-factness worse than felony, for his cynicism … for his lies, for the gas he used in the Nord-Ost siege, for the massacre of the innocents that went on through his first term as president.”[xv] Politkovskaya saw where Putin was taking Russia. She wrote, “In Russia we have had leaders with this outlook before. It led to tragedy, to bloodshed on a vast scale, to civil wars. Because I want no more of that, I dislike this typical Soviet Chekist as he struts down the red carpet in the Kremlin on his way to the throne of Russia.”[xvi]

These men of power, these bloody dictators, these serial liars and mass murderers have plagued us throughout history. They always sound reasonable on the surface. But deep down, underneath, they are the same. They want power and glory, wealth and immortality. As a schizophrenic once shouted after assaulting a passerby, “They shall know my name!”

At the outset of his invasion of Poland, Hitler said: “I have tried to solve the problem of Danzig, the Corridor, etc., by proposing peaceful discussion…. In my talks with Polish statesmen I discussed the ideas … from my last speech…. There is nothing more modest or loyal than these proposals … [which] have been refused. Not only were they answered first with mobilization, but with increased terror and pressure against our German compatriots….”[xvii]

Fast forward 82 years….

At the outset of his invasion of Ukraine, Putin said: “It is a fact that over the past 30 years we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement with the leading NATO countries regarding the principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe. In response to our proposals, we invariably faced either cynical deception and lies or attempts to pressure and blackmail, while the North Atlantic Alliance continued to expand despite our protests and concerns.”[xviii]

Is there no similitude here?

Given his previous denunciations of totalitarian dictatorship, Peterson should have been the first to denounce Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In addition, he should have recognized this invasion as an attempt to resurrect the Soviet Empire; for that is what is being attempted, even as statues of Lenin are being set up in the newly conquered Ukrainian oblasts.[xix] Is Putin evil? Peterson says “no.” He says Putin “is far less terrible than any leader that has preceded him for about a century.” But here, as elsewhere, Peterson sheds his credibility. Is Putin less terrible than Yeltsin, than Gorbachev, than Chernenko? Whatever happened to Peterson’s rules for life? Rule 8 says, “Tell the truth – or, at least, don’t lie.” Why lay down cover for Putin’s crimes? And what about Rule 37 from Peterson’s original 40 rules? – “Don’t let bullies get away with it.”[xx]

Peterson suggests the West should offer Putin the minimum terms Russia will accept for peace. In other words, let us sell out Ukraine the way Chamberlain sold out Czechoslovakia in 1938. Why? Because, says Peterson, a single Russian missile would be sufficient to “destroy Britain once and for all.”

How is Putin not a bully?

Here is what I cannot understand about Jordon Peterson. Nobody in the West is threatening Russia with nuclear war. The situation is entirely the other way around. Only Russia is making nuclear threats. Does Peterson realize that he is blaming the side being threatened? Does he realize that he is rhetorically supporting a nuclear bully? Peterson nowhere blames Russia for bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. Only the West – only the prospective victim – is blamed.

When a war is being fought, and nuclear war is being threatened, we ought to be more circumspect. Let us avoid rhetoric calculated to demoralize our own side. Demoralization, under present circumstances, opens the door to the slippery slope of appeasement. Suppose we could stop a nuclear war by feeding Ukraine to Russia. What countries will be fed to Russia next? How far out will Russia’s “sphere of influence” then extend? Will it stop at Poland or France? Spain or Portugal? Peterson hopes, like Chamberlain at Munich, that the dictator will be satisfied with one bite. Yet Russian officials are already suggesting the conquest of Alaska next.[xxi] Where exactly is Russia’s sphere of influence marked on the world Atlas? Does it include Peterson’s country of origin, Canada? How many nations must be sacrificed to the Russian Moloch? Furthermore, scorn should be poured on the idea that NATO has backed Russia into a corner. Consider, if you will, how large Russia’s corner happens to be. Russia has eleven time zones. How many time zones does Ukraine have? Does the largest country in the world really need further enlargement?

Russia promised to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, when Ukraine agreed to give up her nuclear arsenal. If Ukraine had kept that nuclear arsenal instead of trusting to Russian promises, there would be no war in Ukraine. Peterson thinks the West should negotiate with Russia. But Russia does not keep her treaty commitments. What is the point of negotiating when every negotiation is an exercise in self-deception? We ought to hold the Russians to their past promises before believing in further promises.

It is unfortunate that someone of Peterson stature has given rhetorical cover to Russian military aggression in Eastern Europe. In terms of strategy and morality, Peterson has hit a false note. Contrary to what he supposes, Ukraine is not some puppet state created by a CIA coup. President Yanukovych was not deposed. Yanukovych abdicated. He fled his country out of shame and guilt, knowing that innocent blood was on his hands.  

In closing I should say that the truth matters, especially when naked aggression has been carried out against an otherwise peaceful country. Jordan Peterson says, “All protestations to the contrary, none of us give a damn about Ukraine.” But that is untrue, Dr. Peterson. It is obviously and unequivocally untrue.

[iii] Edward Jay Epstein, Deception: The Invisible War Between the KGB and CIA (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1989), pp. 97-98. According KGB defector Golitsyn, “fake splits” in the communist bloc were used to draw the United States into supporting allegedly “independent” communist countries that were supposedly at odds with Moscow. After a 1958 lecture on this subject, KGB Chairman Shelepin “let it slip that China would be the perfect candidate for such a deception.” After working with the CIA’s counterintelligence staff in 1968, Golitsyn found evidence for the fake Sino-Soviet. But American experts did not take this evidence seriously. Without doing further research, even Epstein concluded that the experts were right and Golitsyn had been wrong about the Sino-Soviet split. Epstein came to this conclusion because of the documented “border war between Chinese and Soviet troops on the Ussuri River.” What Epstein failed to discover was that a Chinese defector, writing under the pen name of Yao Ming-le, alleged that PLA chief Lin Biao had staged the Sino-Soviet border war in collusion with Soviet generals. According to Yao, real regiments were to be decimated in this fighting, but it was – according to Yao – purely for show. Defector Yao’s bizarre story, which pretends to clarify the mystery of Lin Biao’s conspiracy and death, comes remarkable close to Golitsyn’s scenario of staging a “false split.” How do we explain Chinese defector testimony about a fake Sino-Soviet border war? In Golitsyn’s scenario the battles would have been staged as an outward show for American consumption; in other words, to fool the West into accepting the Sino-Soviet split as authentic. In Yao’s scenario, the battles were staged to fool Mao (so that the CCP leader would take shelter in a bunker where Lin Biao would gas him). Yao’s story is inherently improbable as a coup plot. There are easier ways to assassinate and overthrow a leader than creating a fake war. On closer analysis, Yao must have been a dispatched defector sent to allay suspicions by U.S. authorities. These suspicions might have arisen from an intelligence-related incident during that period which is mentioned in Kissinger and Nixon’s memoirs. A more interesting tidbit of defector testimony on this subject emerged in August 1998, when GRU Col. Stanislav Lunev told me that a close friend of his had been at the alleged Lin Biao crash site near Öndörkhaan Mongolia (Lin Biao or his fellow coup plotters – depending on which version of the story you believe – allegedly attempted to flee to the Soviet Union and were shot down as the plane entered Mongolian airspace). According to Lunev, Soviet investigators at the site determined that everyone on the crashed aircraft had been murdered previous to the flight and put on board to look as though they had been attempting to reach the USSR. Since the Soviet Union was accused of attempting to overthrow Mao Zedong, and the fabricated evidence was meant to implicate Moscow in a coup against Mao, why didn’t Soviet authorities publicize the evidence and use it do deny involvement in the alleged coup? Why remain silent and allow the world to believe false Chinese allegations? Again, the most likely explanation leads us back to Golitsyn’s scenario of a false Sino-Soviet split.

Being on the wrong side in these controversies can lead to censorship on social media, disqualification in certain professions, or legal actions by the Department of Justice.

    The Founding Fathers of The United States Of America, never envisioned, nuclear arms. Even if Americans could return to the original Constitutional Republic under Common Law, while ignoring incumbent dubiously elected officials and bureaucrats, the US Military has been purged of Conservatives. Only those who believe in Covid shots remain. If they were given saline shots as a test of loyalty, and aren’t going to die like those who got the actual lethal injections, then there will be a military of blindly obedient troops with no qualms about shooting Americans. On the other hand, if troops have been given the lethal injections, then the US armed services will consist of robotic weaponry.

    Question being, how is the nuclear arsenal to be secured, and how do the new agrarian Americans live in peace with Russia and China? The People are at a severe disadvantage on many numerous fronts.

    To Quietman’s comment of 4:45 PM I proclaim a hearty AMEN ! To those who may feel a flush of anger, take a deep breath and reread it. Jeff, this is no detraction from your mighty labors to awaken people but as QM ably stated – we have not hit on the root cause of our troubles.

    I know Jeff may throw up his hands in frustration at another “religious debate”, but I wont sidetrack much. How can we suppose a once mighty and great nation such as America is NOT in the Bible and was missed in Gods written account ? How can we suppose such a tiny (single) nation in the ME (although a multitude of nations was promised) to be the fulfillment of the multitude of blessings prophesied to the true Israel people ? We have been corralled and hoodwinked to a further extent than we realize.

    Our people must be awakened but the communists (and all enemies of Christ) are being drawn here BY GOD for their final destruction. Prepare thyself for the battle of the Day of the Lord. When the smoke finally clears, we wont be gazing upon the constitution but the Word of God.

    I often hear folks (partially) quote – Hosea 4:6 … “my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge …” (even heard Bill Clinton quote that much). But what of the rest of the verse ?

      Jeff’s approach is correct. He sticks to facts and documented events. If he spoke from a religious perspective, he could be discounted even easier from all non-religious people as a “crank”. As it is, I have never heard a legitimate criticism of Jeff’s scholarship, as he describes actual events, figures, names, dates, speeches. His approach is 100% the correct one. Religion has a place, but not as a foundation for waking the American people up.

But how can they know if we can’t tell them? How do you live in a country that wants to kill 90% of its population? Is our only choice to lay alive on the surgical table while they take out are organs to for their multi-billion dollar organ harvesting business?

    Surprise, surprise, surprise! (Gomer Pyle voice)

    Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that Russia’s goals were more ambitious than Moscow had declared at the start of the war in February, when it claimed its goal was to “liberate” the eastern Donbas border region. Moscow’s war aims now extend to the provinces of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine, which are mostly occupied by Russian forces, Lavrov said.

    Lavrov also said a “number of other territories” are additionally included in the new war aims, though without naming them.

    1. Who woulda thougt?, lol.

      One thing I am very encouraged about among folks in my area. Though most of the people i rub shoulders with on a day to day basis do not look into things on a political or historical level very deeply, with one exception I have yet to talk with anyone, black or white, young or old, who thinks Putin and Russia are the good guys.

      Most folks around here are busy working, farming, prepping, working in their communities or churches, taking care of their families. They dont really trust nor pay too much attention to media and talking heads.

      Many here still have good instincts for truth and lies, and it seems to me, the majority of us would fight like the Ukrainians, Lord willing. Big shoes to fill, I know. The Ukrainians are fighting valiantly.

    Firstly, there is no indication that this person is not connected in some way to the Russian communist scheme, if this Peterson is capable of producing such an idiotic compromise seeking opinion.

    But to reflect on this little more – so where is the limit of Russia’s intentions, how these, as evidently communist they are, how can they be countered if one quits before anything is in fact resolved ?

    Who have elected this Peterson to have any moral high ground at all, it is just his fraudulent opinion and in fact so disrespectful to the truth and true justice that one has to pause and think about it – so is he some kind of Moscow asset in all this ?

    Might as well begin to write for Pravda or Tass etc., or RT…

    One has to remember that there was never any true justice served against communism in the Soviet Bloc, none, and so majority of the communist crimes remained unpunished, including of those of the KGB criminal Putin, so how can anyone in good conscience defend Russian actions anywhere, as they are of communist criminals who do not have the authority of the legitimate state at all, as that involved criminal injustice and bloody criminal Bolshevik revolution in the name of condemned diabolical nihilistic atheistic philosophy !

    This goes back to Roosevelt and Churchill era, when the USSR was recognized diplomatically (Roosevelt) and then Stalin as a mass murderer and criminal appeased by land-grab etc. by Churchill at Yalta etc.

    Is there in the history of mankind any worst sell out on the principle of justice at all ? Millions of Polish, Slovak and other Catholics etc. were sold to Bolshevik dictator by the British Empire and the US government (by then already penetrated by CPUSA in some aspect).

    So now comes this dilemma – how to get out of this Russian and Chinese communist stranglehold when there is no military and diplomatic means to do so, as they are stronger than the NATO countries combined, and so such people then seek compromise to happen, and it isn’t there, so then the facts are rewritten to suit the mind in some way, so that it will all somehow fix itself at the end, and this doesn’t work, as justice is still thirsty and hungry, and there is no justice when victims of communism cry out for it from their graves – but looking back on this evil, what the UK and US governments have done in Eastern Europe in particular, now their own blunder comes back, and the appeasement of Russian Bolshevik criminals is the only solution such new Chamberlains are capable of, or they just continue sending arms to Ukraine without any consideration whether that is enough or not…and what happens when Russian KGB criminals as Putin begin to push nuclear buttons instead – and they most likely will push those buttons ?

    It is truly evident that since the regard for who these communists are in truth was completely set aside and they were simply accepted as tolerable partners instead of complete rejection and isolation and destruction of their abilities to further communism worldwide.

    So now come such people as this Peterson, not an isolated case at all, and lecture their flawed and disgusting opinions as if they were the arbiters of the truth and justice themselves, and they are not !

    The only time communism (Russian in particular) was fully defeated was the Spanish Civil War, which was in fact true Catholic Holy Crusade against Communism, 1936 -1939…otherwise all other attempts ended up in retreats and debacles…Vietnam, even Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc. – the devil’s servants approaching the victory, but the true Catholic Church alone cannot be defeated by them, and so this is the only comfort, to those who are Her members, as God is with Her and no Bolshevik criminal can succeed against Her.

    Excellent essay! It really shows the problem of so many pundits who can only reason in soundbites and artificial constructs of reality. They almost studiously avoid studying the truth.

    It seems from the comments here that there is credible evidence that Peterson is a Russian agent. If that’s the case then he’s not merely clueless, he knows what he is doing. Interesting that he has a background in psychology, it must come in very handy when trying to manipulate the masses. He also went for low-hanging fruit in opposing transgender pronouns, a relatively easy way to establish his conservative credentials. But regarding the war in Ukraine, his arguments are full of inexplicable moral contradictions and omissions that are designed to move conservatives into the Russian camp and make them uncaring about mass murder. This is very dangerous.

    Regarding Peterson’s invocation of the Holodomor to delegitimize people who oppose a second potential genocide (maybe another clue that he’s a hardcore Communist). How often in the past on conservative forums have I seen people mention Stalin’s famine as a way to score cheap points – to show that the NYT lied, that Communist economics suck, that the victims of Communism don’t get nearly as much attention as those of Nazi Germany (doubly ironic now!) etc. But the event is never discussed as a horrible act of genocide in its own right. Only through the lens of the Western Right vs the Western Left. And because Communism in Russia is ‘dead’ it’s old history and not relevant anymore. So of course, Russia’s new attempt is (dis)missed and now we have legions of conservatives unthinkingly playing the role of Walter Duranty. While taking potshots at the real Duranty!

    Some conservatives are now pushing a parallel inversion of morality to the Leftist one. The conservative-sounding inversion holds every insidious destructive practice of the West, from pronoun confusion to abortion and coercive vaccination, as being worse and more malignant than the military aggression and mass murder perpetrated by Russia (and China). And as much as they decry the softness and degeneracy of the West, they evidently assume the West will always continue. Although corrupt, they don’t think it will ever be called to account like the (comparatively less deserving?) Ukraine. In their exacting moral calculus, the fire and brimstone lands on the less guilty party’s house. There’s a self-centeredness here. Also hypocrisy. People like Peterson wouldn’t support a Russian-style of severe ‘incapacitation’ of the West, since after all they live there.

      I think You are right-

      Some do not care about unborn human beings, others do not care about Ukrainian childen and adults, and sometimes it is the same folk …..the Left talks about “inclusion”, but Down syndrome human beings can still be “aborted” läter than others. They talk about racial justice and delete “Uncle Ben’s” from the package, or forbid “blackfacing” for the star singers.

      Eastern and Western morality lacks have a common background. I think, understanding this is a clue.

    2. Laura, that’s a good point about the “self-centeredness” issue. Being self-centered never turns out well. These Republicans really do love to bring up the Holodomor to score points against Democrats. But then I’ll bring it up to them and say “Is it really surprising that Ukrainians want independence from Russia after the Holodomor?” and there is no response and it’s as if it cannot even penetrate their head.

      Bukovsky said something like, “When you make a serious break with the past, there is no need to conceal it.” Peterson is in psychology, was a college professor in Canada, worked/studied at Harvard. This background is as leftist and suspicious (for a “right-wing” activist!) as you can get really. Why can’t he have one clean explanation for his Russian Communist artwork? Why a dozen contradictory explanations?

  7. Please forgive me Jeff for this spiritual post. You can not post it if you think it is off topic. Satan has deceived the whole world. He has gathered all of the leaders together and would destroy the whole world if not restrained by God. This hopelessness we feel in the face of communism presents us with a spiritual battle which is the only battle we can win. Our leaders in the US of A are compromised and America has already fallen from within. They don’t care who votes but who counts the votes. We are at the very end of this age. Soon God will appear and reveal Himself to the world and call all into account. Therefore:
    31 What then shall we say to these things?
    If God is for us, who can be against us?
    (The Communists are nothing to God. He laughs at them and mocks them. Read Psalm 2.)

    32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all,
    How shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
    (God is with His people and will never leave us or forsake us. So we are of good cheer.)

    33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
    34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
    Who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
    (Christ is with us, so why live in fear of Communism, the tool of Satan?)

    35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation,
    or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
    36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long;
    We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
    (Communists can’t take away what God has done for us or remove His love from us. We have eternal life and nothing can take it from us. Jesus said, “And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.” John 10:28)

    37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
    (A true Christian believer conquers Communism by faith in Jesus Christ. We put on the full armor of God and are able to stand in the evil day. We’re told by Jesus, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in the fire.” – Matthew 10:28 Ephesians 6 teaches us to put on the full armor of God in order to stand in the evil day!)

    38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
    (And I am persuaded that communism cannot separate the true believer from the Love of God, so real, so strong and so true. His Love is so powerful and fills the soul with joy and peace and hope of better things to come. Those who are abiding in God, abide in His Love, and they shall never fall. It’s time to take out our Sword and sharpen it and know it and use it to fight this battle, knowing even if we die, we live.)

      We are definitely called to fight the spiritual battle that is going on, but there were also many times in the Bible where God called His people to fight a physical battle against evil. In this case, I think it begins with teaching what Communism truly is and exposing those who are a part of it. Knowledge is a powerful weapon! Is it too late to turn things around? Perhaps. But we still need to keep praying and fighting against it.

        I agree with you, PrayinginOK. It is “both/and”, not an “either/or” type reality. And bet we would agree, wisest to pray first and then step out to stand in what is true, right, and good– even if hard. May the modern day Bonhoeffers, TenBoom families, Daniels, Esthers, Deborahs, Joseph’s, Davids, etc, etc arise in our times too. “For such a time as this.”

        The Sons of Issachar, were also very key in biblical history. Part of their service included being the geopolitical watchmen/analysts for the nation, and “knew what Israel ought to do”. Bet we could all name at least one modern day “Son of Issachar”. 🙂 (From the Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible, complete and unabridged re: I Chron 12:23-40, esp vs 32)

        Mr. MARCO REESE:

        Selbst verstandlich mit Frau Merkel…

        This was excellent point – she was there when they, the communist plants, got rid of Helmuth Kohl, which was quite a sophisticated KGB op, to say the least, and then she was the successor, and the German people didn’t much care that she was brought up in Communist Germany and was part of the Communist Youth, and that even though she was born somewhere in Hamburg area, which was the American (or British, don’t remember which, but American sector is more probable, memory doesn’t serve), and her father took the whole family into the Soviet Sector, including her as very young child.

        So what does it tell you about her upbringing – it was evidently communist, no doubt. So how can such a person be trusted, when she is elected as German Chancellor and uses the similar policies which in fact enabled the Russian favorable situation today – and now you have suspected STASI agent in power over there, the CCP toxic injections and virus situation proved also how these communist plants are capable to abuse authority for the benefit of the communist cause.

        (This is just a small part of her background, but with photos and analysis, don’t know who the author is, but looks authentic and thorough enough to get the communist subversion picture…poor Germany !)

        Germany was a great country, although Austria is more Catholic in the sense of tradition etc., but today Europe is lost, unless God has mercy on it, and it was seen while on pilgrimage there that they don’t wish to be truly Catholic, and so God is allowing these evils to decimate whatever is still left, Our Lord is very offended by the sinful wicked lifestyle and immorality and heretical opinions, the general apostasy which have took hold on this world is what the cause of the Divine wrath truly is.

        St. Thomas Aquinas wrote somewhere that : “…sometime God allows a hypocrite to rule the people on account of (their) sin…” …and also “when multitude sins, vengeance must be taken on it…”.

        These are such evil times, very evil, but the good fight continues, we will prevail at the end.

        it was the British zone. But her father, the “Red Kasner”, a pastor with socialistic convictions, moved into GDR.

        On a podium in Chemnitz with Egon Krenz in Summer 2008 he asked, if children of pastors could not have study, why then Merkel could study- I cannot imagine Krenz did not know the reason (her father). A few years ago Krenz defendet the opening of the borders for non-EU-immigrants.

        As I have been thinking for a couple of years, the exclusion of Krenz, Honecker, Schabowski or Mielke by the “reformed” SED-PDS under Gysi was a fint and they are “Bauernopfer” – but now I think this maybe could have been planned together with those men.

        The podiium in 2008 was organisated by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, this is the foundation that is near by “The Left”, the former SED. But Krenz, as i mentioned, was excluded in 1990, so why should they chose him, a former head of state? He is member of the German Communist Party (DKP), and this one is the de-facto-successor of the Communist Party of Germany(KPD) that was outlawed in Western Germany in 1956

        And of course, the DKP was/is moscow-lined.

        So where are the real differences?

    Something about the recent death of Ivana Trump that is very suspicious, and cannot be set aside…her case is so misrepresented in the press and overall, as if she was some kind survivor of communism, or defector, but that is not the case…

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/29/czechoslovakia-spied-on-trump-to-exploit-ties-to-highest-echelons-of-us-power

    It is this article (The Guardian) that has some extremely important red flags about Ivana, and facts about her STB informant father, and her prominent communist education and contacts with various agencies, including STB Foreign Espionage file…(!!!)

    So one has to wonder whether her death was accidental or something else, that the knowledge of her past, which is far from being a genuine defector, could be a major liability to the domestic KGB operation.

    There is a picture of them both, in 1987 USSR on visit there by invitation directly from the Kremlin.

    Trump was financially helped by the long-term KGB asset Soros (his case is truly something else !), when he trying to finish his hotel in Chicago, it was something like 150 million dollars loan from Soros…

    But the question is not the economy results of Donald Trump, which did help more than any other administration, but the other things he was involved in – the China contract, to supply them with agricultural products worth 50 billion, and how he promoted friendship with China and Russia (until it was obvious it will not stand of course), and the warp speed promotion, which, the interview with Mrs. Owens, in which Mr. Trump said that it was a great success, how this all ties to the communist biological attack, and how this death of Ivana Trump is therefore very convenient as far as the timing is concerned…and there were some people who understood her past and knew that she was not what the official public opinion was about her…

    Soros video is here about him claiming that he supported the Czechoslovak “dissidents” financially…download it before they take it down, it has some subtitles in it, perhaps Serbian, but the video is in English – it is a major proof of his treason as US citizen and that he is truly KGB asset, because he claimed and wrote that in 1980s he was visiting the Kremlin and CCP General Secretary in Beijing and Kadar in Hungary, while at the same time he was supporting very actively their “anti-communist opposition” in Czechoslovakia and Poland etc. – this is impossible to coexist at the same time, if this was genuine effort, he would NOT have lived one more week afterwards…

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mx6gUD44JY

    Something is not right about Ivana’s death. And so this article of Mr. Nyquist adds more to this, how such people do exist who have sold their soul to the devil and are on the wrong side of justice and truth.

      “including STB Foreign Espionage file…(!!!)”

      STB had a file on everyone who traveled to the west or had relatives living on the west, or just was in contact with westerners. This proves nothing. Before she became a professional gold-digger, she was an athlete traveling abroad to competitions.

      The files of important people were discarded. The files on almost anyone else were made public. If you want to prove someone is a deep agent, checking non-existence of his file is the first thing to do.

      I find the idea that Soros is a communist agent ridiculous, he funds almost exactly the same activities and people as the CIA, NED, and American embassies.

      Yes, there are many agents among politicians in former eastern block, who were groomed for years and prepared for this role, but those are exactly the same people who are no friends of Soros and who Soros’s NGOs attempting to overthrow. In the Czech Republic, former prime minister and president Vaclav Klaus is the most notorious example.

        Well, all people who wanted to “travel abroad” during the openly communist era had to have permission from the state, proof of their non-involvement in some scientific military research, their good relationship with the communist tyrants and so on.

        And upon their return they had to disclose all details of their travels, and names and statements of people they met with abroad, and those who traveled into capitalist countries were solely people tied with the communist regime, ordinary people have had nearly zero chance of obtaining the travel permit.

        Your assertions are so far from the truth that one has to wonder who you are….QUESTION MARK red !

        The case of Soros is so clear that there is no need to go into details about him, because there is no genuine defector from communist Red Army controlled Hungary, which was his claim and apparent case who would have later access to the Stalinist leaders of the Kremlin, Beijing and Budapest etc., and at the same time finance their “anti-communist opposition” in the Soviet Bloc and would be able to survive extra week after the KGB discovered it – THAT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIST as such in the KGB run countries.

        The KGB and related services have had many directorates, sometime directed to seemingly oppose each other so that one section gained more credibility in the West by publicly denouncing the strategy used by another section, which is called controlled opposition.

        Soros has funded lot of anti-American operations which fit perfectly into the Russian and Chinese communist MILITARY strategy – including Antifa, the Clintons and their evils, and Biden and so on, his claims about how he doesn’t believe in God at all, and so on, it is a matter of public record.

        To have a foreign espionage file in the communist country is an extremely important fact, they have not just opened the file on Ivana Trump and maintained it, but that she was there with Mr. Trump in 1987 Stalinist Russia on visit from the Kremlin, which means she had to be vetted herself for the necessary Soviet Visa to enter there, and of course the KGB had to approve it…

        There is no known case of genuine defector from communism who would willingly be entering the communist lions den and think that they will be able to leave again alive, so how come she was so secure to visit USSR with her husband in 1987 and, as he was known to have publicized in NYC quite often (a brief New York Times report from that time says so), Mr. Trump was interested in nuclear disarmament with the Russian Bolsheviks…so of course he was a person of interest (perhaps even ideological) for the KGB…

        So now Ivana comes, her STB informant father credentials included, and she doesn’t mind to go into the communist Hell with Mr. Trump and somehow the press claims her to be a “survivor from communism”…

        The article uses facts and photos, and there is another TASS photo of them both in Leningrad in 1987 during the same visit, both smiling on the camera and she had no problem going there a t all – it is truly fascinating.

        And then her contacts with the prominent people in NYC and elsewhere, her status as prominent communist athlete (CZ Olympic ski team – only STB vetted members, no exceptions)…so was she or was she not a liability…her death is something that is far too convenient in its timing and if she was pushed down those stairs by somebody, this would be the reason for it…

        And of course this conspiracy theory should be expected to come under ridicule by the very same people who may be ideologically and strategically interested in the results…her death.

        One more important thing about Mr. Trump – he claimed at least 3 or 4 times that he has rebuilt as POTUS the US nuclear arsenal – but the overall reports from experts, including Mr. Nyquist and Dr. Pry etc. dispute that claim with the truly deplorable facts of US nuclear inefficiency in comparison with what the nuclear strength of Russia and China etc. truly is…so why is it so, why would such statements be made about such an important topic…WHY ?

        That’s why her death is not an ordinary occurrence at this time, before the 2024 presidential campaign begins…the timing is vital…and yes, that wouldn’t be the first Manchurian inside the WH after all, there are serious precedents to the contrary !

      2. There are many things you find ridiculous that are facts. You just named one.

        Well, it is because of Mr. Trump and his actions and what he could have done and didn’t do, what he had done and should not have done, and what he had the authority to do and failed Kerensky style…

        It is all speculative at this point, but the facts about their 1987 visit to Moscow, Kremlin invitation, is so above the normal that it truly raises concerns what exactly is going on.

        Then there is a picture of Mr. Trump from early 2000s with some Russian emigrant who was at the same time tied to KGB front financial company, the name is a memory issue to remember, but the whole connection was so red flag that again these details are way too many at the same time to be passed over without at least taking a serious look at it how exactly this or that angle would serve or not serve the Russian Communist cause.

        His interest in nuclear disarmament while the SS-20s were pointed in large numbers at America is another red flag, his connection to Carter campaign, now the facts surrounding the warp-speed, not able to fire people like Milley and Fauci, and the worst of them all – Mr. Trump had to opportunity to act, while he was still the president, when there was enough substantial evidence of Democrat voter fraud, including the statement from that traitor Biden (excommunicated apostate on the way to Hell) about the most successful voter fraud organization in the history of American politics – Trump could have invoked the Insurrection Act and arrest these prominent Democrats (in truth communists) and have them transferred into GITMO for military tribunals for treason, which it is and nothing less – HE DID NOT DO IT !

        He could have stopped Biden and the whole Pelosi communist gang from gaining power, and he instead gave them the keys to the city…with legitimate information that serious voter fraud had occurred in Biden’s favor… Kerensky 2.0 (or worse !) And the worse part is that these so called “Christians” as Pence etc., knowing full well that no liar can enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, have had no problem or conscience issue to certify the electoral lie for the traitor communist asset Biden….and so on.

        So now you have this connection of his wife Ivana to the STB “illegals directorate” which is the Foreign Espionage section, highly trained spies, and if this leaks out or is explained, who can guarantee that, in order for her to save her neck, she wouldn’t spill the beans on the whole set up…

        It is truly a speculation, but an important to make, as the 2024 presidential campaign is approaching and God only knows what will happen before that…very unstable situation.

        There is something more about her sudden death that is truly evil, something is not right with it, something very evil…and so these questions are important to ask…

        JUST ONE MORE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POINT – the 1987 Kremlin visit – she was a witness there, and so was she present the whole time, and if she was STB Foreign Espionage agent, that itself would be affirmative…so WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED THERE that could be revealing who Mr. Trump really is, why it is that he allowed evident communist traitor as Biden and Pelosi to take over and nearly destroy the US of A…meaning the Great Communist Reset began…

        Ivana was a witness, and she saw what the KGB etc. was saying to her husband, and he then claimed that he was there to discuss building of a Trump Tower Hotel in Moscow, which he had to know that they would use for KGB ops, including communist spying, blackmail and recruitment…

        This was another red flag – and so one said he was there because of his interest (as a private citizen) in nuclear disarmament (with the communist pathological liars), and the other said it was the Hotel…

        It just have popped up – she was a witness.

        But again, it is ONLY a speculation, as the perfection of the act (to push somebody old down the stairs) is the mark of the communist plumbing services….if this is true !

        They don’t need such a witness when the triumphant comeback of the rightful president is scheduled…

      I just really can’t take this. Trump is a KGB asset? My goodness, people, have some discernment. He held up Nordstream. He killed hundreds of Russian mercenaries. He damaged the Chinese economy. He approved US energy projects. He threatened Putin over Ukraine. The list goes on and on.

      Are anti-communists really this stupid or are these merely KGB plants? Trump was a KGB spy because his first wife was iffy? Use your discernment, people.

      1. Yes, there is a problem arguing that Trump is a Russian agent. He has done things that hurt Russia and China. Who benefits from a leader’s actions? And you have to look at all actions, not looking too selectively.

        So, looking at the article photo of Mr. Trump with this person from the USSR, the data bellow the photo says this:

        Tamir Sapir, who died in 2014, was a Soviet emigre who knew Trump since the 1970s and who put him together with Bayrock Capital. Unger says the company was a shell set up to allow Russians to launder money under Kremlin supervision…

        So to comment on it – Soviet emigre – many people do not really understand that it was nearly impossible to escape from the USSR and remain genuine true defector, unless the person was somebody as Golitsyn for example, escaping from their circles outside the USSR, otherwise there was (probably still is to some extent) such a police security system in place that you had to show permit to enter city or town and your ID when leaving the town, there were checkpoints on all roads in and out. This is a known fact.

        The borders were extremely tight, nearly impossible to escape and remain alive from USSR.

        So while this person was “Soviet emigre” who knew Trump since the 1970s, and was involved in KGB shell company, then all things are then clearer…

        What many from the Soviet Bloc who managed to escape do not realize is the level of communist penetration of the Western Countries and the level of their communist fanaticism…and their willingness to betray the sacred principles of the truth and justice.

        To be able to promote and sign the 50 BILLION dollar deal with the CCP as Mr. Trump did, to supply the PLA with such a vast means of agricultural supplies is of concern.

        Then comes the more important part – the CCP bio-attack and what the US military research about the counter-measures (DARFA or something like this) said – and at that time in 2020 in April it said, the virus was around and the publication of the assessment of what works (Ivermectin and HCQ etc.) and the exact statement that the vaccines work poorly, why would then Mr. Trump promote the warp-speed, which now is proven to be nothing but disaster as it is – this is concerning as there is about 1 million Americans now dead because of the “vaccines” (and the virus initially, and the euthanasia of the old people in the nursing homes and the use of Fauci’s Remdesevir and so on…)

        Then the statement about the nuclear re-armament of the US military which Mr. Trump made at least during his 3 or 4 recent allies – a person who was so much interested in nuclear disarmament previously.

        His ties to the KGB asset Soros, how Mr. Trump protected Hillary Clinton from being prosecuted – he stated that he doesn’t want to hurt them, they are good people…

        Is your memory so short that you only see what you want to see and these important details are not there to see ?

        There is more to this, and this is very important – Mr. Trump promoted the toxic poison injections while speaking with Bill O’Reilly in that town-hall appearance last year, while the injections were known to cause already so much health damage and even deaths in thousands – how can this be reconciled with upholding justice and truth, which morally all are bound to do in front of God.

        Mr. Trump was the one who has picked Milley for the position he’s in now, Trump said so, then the “inability to act” when Biden and his CPUSA gang have stolen the elections, having people as Pence and the rest of the Congress sabotage the whole defensive procedure to the point that Mr. Trump is now not willing to help substantially the people who were arrested for being there on January 6th and protested the whole sellout…

        The Bill Barr fiasco and betrayal, Sessions before him, Fauci not fired when he should have been fired, all the lies and half-baked truths which don’t add up about the desire of being friendly with these Russian KGB criminals and even the CCP criminals before the Wuhan situation started.

        And also importantly – Mr. Trump was willing to shake hands with Russian KGB criminal murderers as Putin, and he was able to sign a deal with the CCP criminal Xi…this is all the communists desire, to have the door wide open…sure, the tariffs were set up but the deal was still going on, the CCP was still friendly partner, and those are still made in China items on Walmart shelves….so they are still being recognized as partners instead of crushed as Bolshevik murdering enemies…and now they have Biden in the WH helping them, to whom Mr. Trump had no guilty conscience giving the keys…instead of lacking them all up under the Insurrection Act authority, and half of the US Congress with it, if necessary.

        So yes, the 1987 Moscow visit is important, the recent death of Ivana Trump is important, as the whole thing is not yet finished, Mr. Trump will most likely run again, and it is important with all these KGB contacts to realize that this serious situation is not marginal at all…the role of the controlled opposition is not a small matter.

        There will be Siberian Gulag airlifts of people who knew the truth and did nothing about it and ridiculed those who saw the danger and knew there is a serious problem there…and there IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THERE now, and it will get even more serious soon.

        Do NOT complain that you were not warned, it will be too late then.

        1. One must always be skeptical of such leaders and connections, but we must consider an influence operation against such a person as by no means automatic and permanent. An attempt at ingratiation can produce a range of effects in a paranoid and pathologically independent egomaniac like Trump. Is someone like this controllable? Maybe or maybe not. You can always influence such a person, but can you really control him across decades? President Kennedy compromised himself with an East German woman. Did they control him? No. They had to assassinate him. The same goes for Pope John Paul II, shot by Memet Ali Agca, the Bulgarian-directed assassin. Blackmail is not always a successful method, for the blackmailer’s methods can also be exposed and a clever person realizes the KGB is also exposed when the blackmail reaches to a certain level. Col. Lunev commented that such high-level persons had to be treated strictly as “friends.” Any hint of blackmail risked permanent loss of the target. Especially a clever narcissist with certain accompanying traits.

      3. @Concerned, @Perseus

        Thank you, Concerned, for expanding on your original comment about Trump (just above, and further below). I asked you to do this because you sounded as if you had a larger case to make, and I wanted to see what arguments you would make.

        You made a strong case, strong enough to be worth entertaining even if we don’t embrace it wholeheartedly without further evidence. If Trump was able to stand in the 2024 Presidential Election and win, then that, for me (and for you also, I think) would be a strong indicator that Trump is controlled opposition, or at least that the Communists think that he can be of further use.

        I can understand the objections that Perseus makes, but there are two points that could be made in reply:

        1. the depth of Communist deceptions should not be underestimated (you have probably read Diana West’s American Betrayal and know this). Even in our time, we have the example of Putin presenting himself in such a way that the mere footsoldiers of the left have been tricked into believing that he is a conservative Christian nationalist, and therefore to be deplored; while much of the right, even at high levels, have fallen for the same trick, and that he is therefore to be defended and praised as a bulwark against LGBTQ+etc and Critical Race Theory. We have Angela Merkel heading the conservative German CDU party for two decades and acting in favour of Russia at crucial points. It should not be implausible then, that a Trump could emerge in the West who is not what he seems – “not implausible” does not necessarily mean “correct”, but it does mean that we should not reflexively rule it out before giving it proper consideration.

        2. We (at Jeff’s site) are all well aware of the deceptions of the Clinton côterie concerning Trump’s supposed “collusion” with Russia, and that this was used as a smokescreen to stop the US public from understanding that Clinton and Obama had been acting in Russia’s interests. Nothing in the case made by Concerned overlaps with this, and our rejection of the left’s collusion charge does not prevent us from at least entertaining the collusion charge made by Concerned.

        Jeff’s second reply to Concerned provides a useful qualification: Trump may have collaborated in the past without being permanently under Russian control, since it would be difficult to control a man of his character. Even so, Putin cultivated a radical change of character when he became President, so even this is not decisive.

  10. Jeff, thank you for the article.
    I keep hearing that Luda has more info on the recent Chinese leaked audio. Do you have any information on what more there is?

    The very best that can be hoped for, if the trend continues, is the second coming of Lucius Cornelius Sulla or Augusto Pinochet, the man who defended capitalism against the inroads of socialism in Chile between 1973 and 1990. His methods were brutal, but they ultimately preserved Chile’s bourgeoisie. The other countries of Latin America can now look with green-eyed envy on the relative happiness of the Chileans.

      Pinochet is the logical progression of nations that turn Marxist. Since most people, even anti-communists, do not notice their country being taken over, and are usually too incompetent to stop it even if they did notice, they usually only intervene at the last minute to stop it from becoming a dictatorship. At that point, the rot is usually so far gone only an army has the power to prevent that dictatorship.

      That’s all Pinochet was. Not some genius. Not some “fascist”, whatever that means. Not even some grand strategist. He was the last gasp of a democratic Chilean society that realized far too late they had just lost to a dictator. This is the logical progression of a slow internal Marxist strategy. Most simply allow it to happen, like Venezuela.

      The story of Pinochet is a story about Communism, not anything else. He was merely the face of a society desperately trying to stop the coming brutality and murder of a Communist dictatorship. And as we can see now, he merely delayed the inevitable. Their current Marxist President may put the final nail in the coffin. People generally never fully appreciate anti-Communists until they are fully locked in to living under a permanent Communist hell.

    Internationally, Pinochet was on the same side as Gabriel Boric, a comprador, imperialist puppet. Maybe in domestically they differ, cause the imperialists rebranded themselves.

      The question was about her death and the timing of it…and the conflicting reports about it, which initially stated that she had a cardiac arrest and on that account had fallen down the stairs, but the other from the medical examination report says that she has fallen down the stairs and that is what killed her…and it said that it was ruled as an accident…

      But the point you claim – no, even legal emigrants were carefully watched by the communists and if they so much as made a point about anything in the communist bloc which the commies didn’t like, they would be stopped at the border and never allowed in, or worse, they would be allowed in but not out again…if they remained citizens.

      There was a case reported of someone who emigrated and then wanted to join the French Foreign Legion, and did in fact do that, and then the person went back to visit his family in the communist bloc, as a French citizen and was arrested and sentenced to several years as a traitor…this was quite a scandal.

      Her case is even more remarkable because of that 1987 visit to USSR, again she had to have a visa, regardless what passport she used, as Russians didn’t allow anybody they didn’t approve into the country…even from their own communist bloc.

      During her college years says another report, as she studied at a prominent communist University in Prague, she had to pass exams in Marxism-Leninism…that was required for all college students, otherwise you didn’t graduate nor remain there…this is what the defectors were saying.

      You are trying to discredit legitimate questions, but they are just that – legitimate. Seems like the damage control is not working. This would mean bullseye right on the target.

        But during the Communist period in the Eastern Bloc, all colleges and universities were Communist and would not be teaching anything that contradicted Marxist-Leninism. Anyone who wanted to get a degree had to toe the party line and pay lip-service to the state ideology. That does not mean they were all ideological Communists. By this line of reasoning anyone alive today who graduated university before 1989 in the Eastern Bloc must be a secret Communist agent. This is painting with too broad a brush.

        As for Trump’s trip to the USSR in 1987, well it was during Perestroika when the Communists were trying to present a friendly face to the world. Wooing prominent Americans to visit the USSR could just have been part of the charm offensive. And President Trump’s energy and foreign policy was not exactly serving Moscow and Beijing’s interests. Trump lost his way when it came to Covid but so did a lot of conservatives initially. How many were questioning Warp Speed in late 2020, if anything it was seen as a great achievement that would assure Trump’s electoral victory.

      Wow! I never thought I’d see things like this in my lifetime. *shudder*

      1. The moderator of the Technocracy.news website has a phrase: “Technocrats build because they can, not because there is any good moral or ethical reason to do so”.

  14. To me personally, perhaps the most troubling statement from among those cited by Jeff is the very disturbing and manifestly false, “All protestations to the contrary, none of us give a damn about Ukraine.” Perhaps a crypto-communist like Peterson doesn’t give a damn about the suffering Ukrainian people, but many people of good will around the world most certainly don’t share such a heart-less attitude, whatever one may think of the current government in the country (and I personally have very strong misgivings in that regard). To me this smacks of nothing less than utter indifference towards our fellow human being, a recipe for genocide and whole scale destruction on the scale that the Russians are slowly perpetrating in Ukraine (and if one is to believe St Vladimir “the pious Christian” Putin, things are only getting started…). I remember some time ago hearing Ezra Levant (the man running the Canadian “Rebel News” channel) say that the opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference. How true I thought then! Those words have always stuck in my head. How many atrocities have been committed throughout the ages due to the utter indifference shown by vile amoral men devoid of that natural human empathy granted by God to all men?

    Yes, because there is nothing more normal than your local psychology professor chilling out on his sofa with a HUGE painting depicting the glorious Vladimir Lenin calling on the masses towards the construction of the communist utopia, right…? I’m sure that’s just the most soothing way to sip your cup of tea while one takes the time to read Alistair Crowley, one of Hitler’s speeches, or the Communist Manifesto…

    https://www.rooshv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/jordan-peterson-lenin-2.jpg

    1. James, it’s interesting that he said this, “All protestations to the contrary, none of us give a damn about Ukraine.” He is the same guy who claims to be a huge fan boy of Solzenhitsyn and I think even wrote a foreword for his book. How can he care about Solzenhitsyn for his struggles against the Kremlin and now he says no one cares about Ukraine? And he is a Canadian who is obsessed with talking about what is going on in America, but yet he says Americans can’t care what is going on in Ukraine. A little bit of hypocrisy eh? But I don’t take anything he says at face value. It seems to me this is a carefully scripted and calculated message.

      Man I am looking at his video here. He looks to me like a drugged up mafiosa.

        1. Solzhenitsyn’s best years were not his last. He bought into Putin, which showed a disappointing want of discernment. His idea was to forgive the old KGB guys. But you cannot forgive when they are not sincerely asking for forgiveness.

      1. Deborah Cole, interesting. I don’t know much about Solzenhitsyn, but it’s amazing to me that he could think Russia has some moral right to geopolitical control over Ukraine after what the Kremlin did in the Holodomor. Or his position that Ukraine shouldn’t promote the Ukrainian language after how Stalin specifically tried to exterminate Ukrainian heritage. Or his defense of Putin being in the intelligence services. I really am not sure where he is coming from on this stuff.

        1. Solzhenitsyn always had this position on Ukraine. It’s a thing he has long been criticized for.

      2. Dan A & Deborah Cole: If even a brilliant mind like Solzhenitsyn could be duped by a devil like Putin, then I think that speaks to the Biblical-scale of deception being played out here (in all humility, I will confess that I too was once duped by Putin, but diligent research proved me wrong). I once listened to an interview with the grandson of an officer of the White (anti-Bolshevik) army. Asked about the positive attitude of Solzhenitsyn in his later years with regards to Putin, he answered that in his last years he had been heavily influenced by his wife (pure speculation here, but I can’t help wondering whether she may have been a KGB/FSB asset). And with regards to Putin’s infamous photo-ops during the liturgical services of the Orthodox Church, as an Orthodox himself, he said it was embarrassing for him to watch such events being acted out (literally) by Putin, because the man clearly was clueless with regards to the various actions taken by the faithful at the various points of the service.

      3. The more I watched and re-watched Peterson, the more his arguments seemed to be a pig’s breakfast. He was strategically wrong. He was morally wrong. And many of his facts were wrong or confused. Was this the same Jordan Peterson we watched and admired a few years ago? I am worried for him.

        Communism is a conspiracy so vast and long-lived that decades later its fiercest opponents end up serving its interests. So you have the works of Solzenhitsyn, a symbol of anti-Communist resistance, now being appropriated by a possible crypto-Communist like Peterson. But even more disturbing is that Solzenhitsyn was duped by Putin. I’m just speculating, but could it be because he was away from Russia for a long time so he may have missed the details of the Perestroika deception? Or maybe it’s because he was a philosopher and as such he was not familiar with the ins and outs of strategy and KGB deception? As for his views on Ukraine, the problem is that even if you remove Communism from Russia there’s always Tsarist imperialism to fall back on. Putin has so far successfully fused Communism with Nazism and Russian imperialism. Maybe Solzenhitsyn saw the nascent neo-imperialism in Putin’s early years and that’s why he was so favourably disposed toward him.

        On a different note, here is a very interesting site with a lot of information on the 2010 plane crash that killed most of the Polish leadership at the time. There is a lot of evidence that Russia manipulated the crash investigation and media coverage, so much that one can’t help concluding that the Kremlin had a hand in causing the crash. Given what Russia is doing now this is more than likely.

    There is a video of the KGB criminal Putin making the Orthodox sign of the cross and then kissing the icon of Our Lady, and it is a RT video (a short one) BUT the set up and photo-up is so clear in it, then the camera turns onto the people and then there is another view of Putin, without a tie, and he is waiting to make the sign of the cross and his face looks like he couldn’t care less what he is doing, it is all for to be seen doing it, that type of look on his face – absolutely insincere. The people who are in that video are also waiting for a cue from somebody to make that same sign of the cross, and their faces show it is all staged, it is so visible and they cannot hide it.

    So the conclusion is this – if Putin or anybody else in that Kremlin Communist MAFIA had received any Divine grace of genuine conversion, them as unrepentant communists, which is firstly highly improbable (but God can do all things, so the word impossible must not be used), then he would NOT have anything to do with Bergoglio, and the Novus Ordo Sect, he would not have anything to do with Kirril (KGB agent according to Mr. Pacepa), and Putin would have come clean and renounced all that he has done, in fact if his was a genuine conversion, he would know that for him to obtain true absolution from sins, he would have to find a true Priest, he would have to leave the Russian Orthodox Schismatics (and in Russia they are all KGB anyway) and he would know that he has to take back all communist evils and face genuine justice before he can obtain genuine and true absolution from sins, as it results from Divine grace, it has 3 essential parts – confession (truthful and sincere) of all sins, contrition for sins committed and satisfaction for them to the Divine Justice, including firm purpose of amendment not to offend God this way again.

    He would have to publicly give up communism…

    THERE IS SIMPLY no way Putin has ever done so…and so whomsoever dares to call him a “Christian” is deceiving those who may hear it – it is an evident lie and nothing else.

    1. There is no repentance in Putin. We can pray there will be, but I would not hold my breath.

  19. Jeff, I recently started following your work. I want to thank you for challenging people like me to question more and be more skeptical of the Russian narrative. There’s a guy on youtube that has been converting your written essays to audio as well New Lies For Old which has been helpful to understanding the Soviet long term strategy. Eugen Richter is the youtube channel.

    Also, I came across a twitter post from Jennifer Zeng today on twitter that perhaps your sources or connections could verify. She said the source said that over a dozen kilometers long procession of CCP military vehicles were seen on the Shenhai highway coming from the north heading south and communications command vehicles were also seen in Yangjiang, Guangdong. If this is true, this lines up with what was in the mobilization audio that was acquired does it not? That is moving the vehicles to the coast for loading on ro-ro ships. I’m curious what you think.

    This was big news this week – 651 charges of treason and collaboration brought against Ukrainian law enforcement agencies’ employees. More than 60 staff members of the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Security Service remained on Russian-occupied territories and collaborated with the Russians. Zelensky fired the Prosecutor General and head of the Security Service, who was his childhood friend. It seems the 2 top officials, who were appointed by Zelensky and had a reputation for tanking anti-corruption cases, were fired for incompetence rather than treason on their part. Earlier in the thread, CONCERNED speculated on whether the Ukrainian leadership could be a den of stealth Communists prosecuting the war to Moscow’s advantage and against the interests of their own people. If that were the case, I think they wouldn’t be calling attention to the problem of widespread KGB infiltration.

    Russian infiltration has been a problem in Ukraine for decades so this is nothing new, but at least it is being addressed (unlike in Western countries). Although this news can feel demoralizing, if the KGB infiltration was as deep and effective as Russia hoped then Ukraine really would have fallen within a few days.

    The agent network of the GRU included a MP who oversaw the creation of a number of private security companies that were to be used to quickly conquer Ukraine. But since corruption cuts both ways, the MP pocketed a large chunk of money for himself rather than using the funds to implement the GRU’s plan.

    Finally, here is some news from an independent Russian news site. It seems Russia is having trouble with recruitment. People are finding ways to oppose the war even at the risk of severe penalties. Let’s hope the opposition continues to grow.

    1. Note; The Ukrainian President directs diplomacy and the military/intelligence, not the domestic ministries controlled by the prime minister. The president’s is the sphere that seems to have broken with Russia — where Ukrainian counterintelligence succeeded in outwitting Russia’s agents. But the Ukrainian system has been penetrated by numberless KGB agents for decades. But in such a game who deceives whom? Only if Ukrainian counterintelligence penetrates Moscow does this kind of victory become possible. Could Moscow penetrate Ukrainian counterintelligence and get back control? Yes. How would we know? Ukraine would no longer catch any Russian agents.

    No idea who the author is, but it looks like enough facts and RED FLAGS of KGB involvement is present – and the video of Mr. Trump’s debate with the pro-communist asset Clinton is of interest, as at one point Mr. Trump says: (min. 1 or even before, it is a short excerpt)

    “…they are saying Russian hacking – maybe there is no Russian hacking (election hacking he means) – and then he says – I have no loans from Russia …”

    So the author goes into detail analysis that in facts how these “formerly USSR citizens”, one of them used to work for Soviet Ministry of Trade and Commerce for 17 years:

    QUOTE: Tevfik Arif is originally from the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Kazakhstan. During the Soviet Era, he worked for seventeen years in Moscow for the Ministry of Commerce and Trade. He quit that job in 1991 as the USSR was dissolving and caught quite a break. Somehow he was able to parlay his experience (which focused mainly on hotel management) at the Commerce and Trade Ministry into ownership of the Speciality Chemicals Trading Company, “an export-import business trading in rare metals, chrome, and raw materials.” Shortly thereafter, once Kazakhstan gained it’s independence from Russia, he took over ACCP, a chromium plant in Aktobe.

    From there, he took his riches and built a hotel in Antalya, Turkey which was completed in 1999. This was obviously more in line with his career experience than handling rare metals. Then, in 2001, he came to America and created the Bayrock Group, a real-estate development company based in Brooklyn. UNQUOTE

    So then it continues:

    QUOTE:
    It was then that he hired Felix Sater and made him a part-owner and partner, and these two then got involved with Donald Trump.

    Mr. Sater, a Russian immigrant, had recently joined Bayrock at the behest of its founder, Tevfik Arif, a former Soviet-era commerce official originally from Kazakhstan. Bayrock, which was developing commercial properties in Brooklyn, proposed that Mr. Trump license his name to hotel projects in Florida, Arizona and New York, including Trump SoHo.

    If you know anything about the Yeltsin Era of the 1990s or the rise of Vladimir Putin, you know that that the Russian state was sold off to KGB-connected or approved businessmen and intelligence officers who quickly formed into a ruling oligarchy. Mr. Arif’s rise from a hotel management functionary in the Commerce and Trade Ministry into a rare metals trader is highly, highly suspicious and ought to be looked at very carefully.

    ————————

    It continues (and DO NOT FORGET Soros and his connections to Mr. Trump !!!)

    QUOTE:
    The second person I want to focus on is Tamir Sapir (nee Temur Sepiashvili), who died in 2014. An Ashkenazi Jew who was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in the former Soviet Union, he emigrated to Israel just prior to the outbreak of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. From there, he quickly re-emigrated to Kentucky where he worked as a laborer.

    There was a war between Arabs and Israeli in 1973, so Temur decided to leave Israel and head to a small town in Kentucky. “I was ready to accept any job, so I ended up caring for elderly women. Every day I took them to a special facility where they entertained themselves by knitting, singing and other things. They were the ones who taught me English. Right next to me lived a rich man who owned several shops. He had a business selling tools and offered me to work for him.” – remembers the billionaire. He worked as a driver, janitor and a loader, while dedicating his free time to studying English and saving up money.

    Before long, he relocated to New York City, becoming a cabbie.

    In 10 months, his family came to live in New York and Temur Sepiashvili became a cabbie. “I worked day and night, because I wanted to buy out the car. I slept at the airport, waiting for the first flight to arrive. In six months, the taxi became mine. I made 300-400$ per day and had time to go with my family to the park, to the movies, to the restaurant”, – says Sapir.

    What happened next was either the work of Russian intelligence or one of the most surprising and unlikely success stories in history. According to the legend, Mr. Sapir and a fellow USSR emigrant named Sam Kislin pooled their savings and bought an electronics store on Broadway in Manhattan. They hoped to attract business from the Russian emigre community, but they had a different kind of luck.

    Former President of Georgia Eduard Shevardnadze played an important role in his success. “Once USSR’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eduard Shevardnadze, visited my shop. One of his bodyguards, Murad Kazishvili, turned out to be my childhood friend. Back in the day, an organization existed called “Council for American-Soviet Trade”, in which over a hundred large American companies participated, among them “Occidental Petroleum Hammer” and “Pepsi-Cola”, which also had business ties with the USSR. With Murad’s help, I also joined this organization and went to Moscow with Vice-President Bush, who headed the Council,” Tamir says. According to him, during his stay in Moscow, one of his friends advised him to start exporting carbamide to America. This substance is necessary for oil production and during Soviet times it cost 5 times less than in the US. The Carbamide trade gave Tamir his first million and as he says, whet his appetite.

    He exported American clothing, footwear and tech to USSR while importing oil and oil products from there, investing profits into real estate in New York. Prices on real estate were low in 1995-1996: for example, a skyscraper that is now estimated to be worth approximately 1.5 billion dollars cost just 17 million back then. Sapir got incredibly lucky; according to his own words, it was nothing less than divine intervention. In 1997, real estate prices grew and property that Sapir bought for miniscule prices was sold for colossal amounts of money. This is how Sapir got his first billion.

    So, supposedly this guy went from sleeping in his cab to being a billionaire because he quickly made enough money selling VCR’s and Walkmans to make major investments in Russian carbamide which he then used to buy a skyscraper for 17 million dollars. In the process, he was invited to join the Council for American-Soviet Trade and meet with then-Vice President George H.W. Bush.

    You won’t find it in his official biography, but I found the following in write-up on Sapir in a local Georgia news outfit that was profiling native Georgians who had emigrated and made a fortune (emphasis mine):

    In order for Tamir Sapir’s biography to be complete, recollections of his classmate, Sergo Davlianidze, must be also mentioned. “We managed to be friends and also fight in the 60’s. My classmate from Tbilisi State School #45 was a boxing enthusiast, just like me. Who could imagine that he would become a businessman? He lived in a communal apartment near an Ashkenazi synagogue in Old Tbilisi, where all neighbors had to use the same water closet. Last time I saw Temur was in 1984 in Moscow, when he studied at Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs’ academy. He already had his own business then and offered to provide me with foreign electronics and tech if I wanted to.

    The article goes on to laconically state that “It is noteworthy that the fact of [the] émigré billionaire’s study at Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs isn’t featured in any of his biographies and neither does Sapir himself talk about this in his recollections.”

    Now, here is where I tie all these individuals together with Donald Trump. They all were business partners on the Trump SoHo project. The project was a collaboration between the Trump Organization, the Bayrock Group (of Arif and Sater), and the (Tamir) Sapir Organization.

    The potential Russian intelligence connections of Arif and Sapir should be obvious considering their unlikely rises to great wealth. Sater is already known for his well-established connections to the Russian mafia, and he was also turned back against the Russian mob and probably Russian intelligence, too, by our FBI. UNQUOTE

    It is long read, but so will be the flight into Siberia, and out of charity for our fellow human beings, that is on our part UNCONSCIONABLE…

    If anything looks RED, then it should be regarded as RED and it most likely is RED after all…the term controlled opposition is NOT a meaningless term at all !

  23. While doing some reading on religious matters, I came across this article. Regarding an interview with Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin concerning homosexual marriage and related topics. I am thinking that Peterson was perhaps never particularly traditional in his moral / philosophical beliefs. ( And perhaps never claimed to be. ) ( Mr. Horvat clarifies this in his article ). And also I have noticed that he often seems to over-intellectualize things.

    Religious and traditional people have to make sure we do not see prominent people as “dream catchers”. Just because they have an opinion or two that are correct, we should not assume they are a new conservative champion ( J.K Rowlings, Naomi Wolf, etc. ). We should be wary. And not get our hopes up only to be disappointed.

    Something is going on with Peterson ( psychological or brain problems ? coercion, threats ? simply revealing who he has always been ? ) I feel bad for him. Let’s pray he stays safe and moves in the right direction.

    My 2 cents. See link below.

    1. Thank you for the link to the article. What else could be expected of a man that can’t even describe clearly whether he believes in God or not? “But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.” Matthew 5:37

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jiqlhw-hJM

      Of course, Peterson is dead wrong here: one does not even remotely have to be good in order to know that God exists, and hence to “believe” in Him. The Adversary sure as heck knows there’s a higher power up in Heaven ready to crush him at a moment’s notice. Notice also the gnostic language introduced ever so subtly (and I would argue, slyly, because I would think the overwhelming majority of his audience has no clear sense of the full sense and implications of these terms): “spark of divinity that’s within you”, “Logos that’s within you”…

      1. My criticism of Peterson is regarding his dangerous political ideas. Let’s stick to politics. People’s religious views are hopelessly complicated by theological differences and interpretations. We have a big war coming. Let’s not start making lists of who to burn at the stake for heresy.

    2. He has never claimed to be religious.

    Is this true? Soros counsel oversees NATO military? If it is, it’s like a communist python is steadily encircling. But God…

    The NBA will never get another penny from me! This is only 5 minutes long and well worth watching to see what is happening:

    The NBA allows zero criticism of China

    1. This has been true for a long time.

        Another area where we need more exposure of what is going on.

  26. Did you remove a post about nuclear targets in the USA?

    1. No

      1. Sorry, it must have been somewhere else. I live near pensacola (targeted due to NAS) was wanting to show my wife/follow the link.
        Do you have a link to the Chinese man in the white suit telling an overwrought woman to trust the CCP and that they were going to war with America? This was from the Glazov interview.

        1. It was on Twitter. Maybe someone has the link.

    God rules the kings of the earth despite what they believe (Revelation 1:5).
    Men speak abusively about whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals-these are the very things that destroy them (Jude 1:10).
    They think they see but they are blind (John 9:39).
    The heart is deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9).
    Satan traps humans by having them see things from a human point of view and not Gods (Matt 16:23).
    My thoughts are not like your thoughts, says the LORD. And my ways are far beyond anything you can imagine (Isa 55:8).
    You have to KNOW the truth for the truth to set you free (John 8:32).

    God hates “religion” it is man made rules, regulations and traditions, full of impure motives, polluted by the world, causing division ect. God is all about a “personal relationship” living and abiding in Him alone and led by His Spirt not man. “You don’t need anyone to teach you, His anointing teaches you about all things-by remaining in Him (1 John 2:27).
    Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2).
    “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God (Matt 5:8).
    The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6).

    We are living in times where the heart of most will grow cold because of the increase of wickedness (Matt 24). God calls us to patiently endure in suffering continuing to do good (Revelation 1).

    God said we would be persecuted, hated by the world, put in prison, put to death.
    “Woe to those who the world speaks well of.”

    God designed us to live in community and encourage and rely on each other in these times of great need.

    Have a blessed week seeking God with your whole mind, heart and soul daily and you will find Him.

    Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD (psalm 33:12).

    Thanks Jeff! God bless you!
