The world hated Hitler, and commiserated with Stalin. Hitler conquered half of Europe and the rest of the world declared war against him. Stalin conquered half of Europe and the world sent him greetings. To ensure that Hitler could not hold on to the conquered European countries, the West sank German ships, bombed German cities, and then landed a massive and powerful army on the European continent. To enable Stalin to conquer and hold on to the other half of Europe, the West gave Stalin hundreds of warships, thousands of war planes and tanks, hundreds of thousands of the world’s best vehicles, and millions of tons of its best fuel and ammunition, and supplies.

The history of the last 107 years must include the story of communism’s rise and transformation through a series of poses. First, as a worker’s movement, then as a collection of movements: not only for workers, but for peasants; not only for internationalism, but for national liberation. The communists also had this habit of retreating back into capitalism. There was Lenin’s NEP in 1922. This was repeated under Gorbachev, using the slogans of “glasnost” and “perestroika.” Through many twists and turns, zigs and zags, communism has advanced. People are so confused at this point, they are not sure communism even exists.
In the following discussions with Jimmy from Brooklyn, Jean Robin from France, and Alex Benesch from Germany, we touch on the manner in which the communists have twisted facts, history, and ideas.
Jimmy From Brooklyin: communism’s long game
Jimmy has been inside the Communist Party USA, he knows their literature, their tactics, and their ongoing push for total control of America.

“The attack on religions is at the core of the (communist) revolution…There must be no let up in the war against religion because as long as religion exists, Communism cannot prevail. We must intensify the obliteration of all religions wherever they are being practiced or taught…”
(Excerpt from Dec. 15, 1987 speech of the communist criminal Mikhail Gorbachov to Soviet military personnel in Uzbekistan…referenced in book Perestroika Deception by the editor – Christopher Story or perhaps by Golitsyn himself).
That ALONE should have closed all doors to any, ANY advances of whatsoever from the Soviet Bloc, ANY diplomatic and other relations, ANY economic aid, anything that could help the communist tyrants to continue their evils.
What is even more astonishing is the fact that this first rate blunder is being repeated by those who otherwise claim to be “Christian” in the US and western governments and legislature etc., including unfortunately Mr. Trump, who signed 50 Billion (with a B) agriculture sale package with the CCP Chinese communist criminals while Trump was in the White House.
These blunders, perhaps even in many cases intentional, including the blind acceptance of the false collapse of communism in late 1980s etc., will bring about the end of the existing system of somewhat liberty of conscience and the tyrannical communist destruction of religious and human rights, anywhere and everywhere in the world, the time of the Antichrist.
The ONLY comforting part is that this horrible communist terror oppression will last only 3 and half years, as it is written in the Holy Scripture.
At this point and time there is none in the western governments who is able to become true leader and counter this communist advancement and to resist this atheistic evil strategy of Moscow…they are all either controlled opposition of the communists, so that they will do nothing and or very little to resist this satanic godless evil, or they are in some cases unable to come up with any good solution, and are thus willing to compromise on the truth – which is (St. Paul to Ephesians 5 : 13):
“6 Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. 7 Be ye not therefore partakers with them 8 For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. 9 For the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and justice, and truth; 10 Proving what is well pleasing to God:
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. 13 But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.”
There is no remedy for those who don’t serve God in truth and justice, He will not help them to see the truth and to act upon it. They will have to endure the consequences of their denials and unbelief, and of their heresies. Perhaps some of them will be cured, perhaps, but only by the mercy of God.
And by destroying religion, I am astonished at the destruction done within the Churches, so that the Pope would consider a partnership with communists, and all these Protestant denominations have relations with Russia.
Mr. Nyquist,
the scandalous apostate layman sitting in the Vatican is NOT a valid true Pope, they are apostate sect (called Novus Ordo = New Order) and they don’t practice the Catholic religion but their own invented heretical falsehood. They do NOT have valid Sacraments, including Priestly Ordinations, and Bergoglio according to his biography was so called “ordained” in 1969, that is AFTER they perverted the Rite of Ordination, so he is still a layman…and an excommunicated apostate.
He’s not so much as a valid Catholic priest, and according to Canon Law and Church Laws regarding valid Conclave (which is the voting for a new Pope), this sect is excommunicated and so they cannot assemble in valid Conclave and elect one of their own to valid Papacy, it is automatically invalid, Bergoglio is just a horrible apostate with long-term communist connections in his native Argentina and with the Putin’s Kremlin as well.
Canons could be cited from the valid 1917 Code of Canon Law, and the Papal Bulls as well, about the conclave, but this above should suffice for your information.
If the current Pope is a layman, how is he sitting in the chair of St. Peter. This is a grave matter indeed. To what extent are all our institutions made into a mockery?
Concerned is right, Cardinal Bergoglio is not the real Pope. The last Pope was Ratzinger who gave up the ministerium but not the munus. From the 60 Moscow started to infiltrate the Vatican, in the 80 their “Man” was Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini who travelled many times to Moscow and founded the so called “”San Gallo Mafia” and with Cardinal Ivo Fuehrer and other ones arranged the election of the socialist Cardinal Bergoglio.
How does the Church resolve this crisis within?
Catholicism has never been about Christ or succession to Peter on the Earth, despite what they profess. It has always been about gain and power. There were a few good Popes (not enough) and there are some good people in this church. (Even though the devote Catholics I met are all messed up emotionally. Some have a holier than thou attitude, others sin and just can’t stop. I think it has a lot to do with fear and guilt used as a motivation for devotion). But there is a very big dark side historically. Now I think they still have dark side, but hide it better. In my perception Catholicism equals communism. Their ideology and methods are very similar.
Catholicism equals communism? Have you read Bella Dodd’s books, or her life story? She was a communist who became Catholic and worked to expose the communist lies.
No, I have not read Bella Dodds anything, either books nor biography. It would be interesting to do so. I went deep into subject of differences between religions, when studied Reformation and influence of Catholicism and Protestantism on art. Maybe Bella just focused on the gospel of Christ, while she thought of herself as being Catholic? The church itself does quite strange things, covering up pedophiles and uniting with communists. I also find enlightening the parable of the “Grand Inquisitor” in Dostoyevsky’s novel “Brothers Karamazov”, book 5, chapter 5. It shows a lot of parallels between the communism and Catholicism. Well, at least to me. Dostoyevsky actually foreseen future communism and the bloodbath that it would bring.
Human beings are fallen creatures, even if they are in the Church. As a rule, I do not want “religious wars” started here between different denominations of Christianity. Our common enemy is the communists. Shall we blame Eastern Orthodoxy for the Soviet Union? Shall we say it is wrong because the secret police has taken it over in Russia? It would not be fair to associate the corruption with the ideal.
I am really struggling with whether I will vote in the up coming election. In your interview with Jean Robin you said that Trump does not like communism however, he seems to have had communist connections his whole adult life. I have learned from someone on this site that his first wife had Russian connections, his current wife’s father’s connections, his borrowing money from Russian businessmen when nobody would lend to him, his Soros connection. He seems to have people in Florida like blatant Putin supporter Martin Armstrong in his ear when it comes to the Ukraine war and Armstrong is also one who thinks that commerce with communist countries will keep everyone playing nice and I can see Trump buying into that if re-elected. He was tough on China (clearly not tough enough) but, seems duped by Russia. Also, Trumps decision on the states deciding abortion laws is another way that he is giving into the communist movement. Trumps brilliant solutions seem to be to give into the communist. I know that you say that Trump doesn’t understand communism but I am not so sure about that. How could he be a successful businessman in New York City and businesses dealings around the world along with being president for 4 years and not understand the game. From what I have read he went back and forth from being a Democrat to Republican to no affiliation because of economic policies otherwise I think that he would have stayed a Democrat. Why would I vote for someone who seems grossly ill equipped to lead this war against communism? Some people say that it is civicly wrong to not vote but I am thinking that it will be morally wrong to vote. If you could ask Jimmy to lay out why he thinks that Trump is so brilliant and our answer to fight this communist take over it would be much appreciated. One more thing, I thing that Putin saying that he would choose Biden for the next president needs to be more thoroughly analyzed.
Yes, you are right, Trump might have been compromised by the Russians; or, they have been trying really hard to win him over for at least three decades. And maybe they have succeeded. Plenty of reason for concern. But Biden is worse. The Russians have tried hard to compromise Trump. They would not have bothered if he was like Biden — a nonentity whose political career owed everything to the KGB agent Armand Hammer and the Council for a Livable World. Trump built his business and, while the Russians bailed him out, he may not show gratitude. Cross your fingers. I would prefer, as I said, Ben Carson in the White House, but that may not be the choice before us. I hope Carson is Trump’s VP.
It’s depressing we’ve descended to the point where we have on one hand: a thoroughly corrupt career grifter in Biden, and on the other: a thoroughly immoral, crass buffoon in Trump. What does that say about us as a nation? I’ve been wondering if a truly honest person could even win enough support to be president.
Ben Carson does seem like one of the few guileless people out there. I’d be happy to see him as VP.
I voted for Trump in the primaries last month, and felt disgusted while doing so. I honestly don’t know if voting on the presidential level even matters anymore at this point. If a vacillating, double-minded man such as Kennedy was enough of a potential threat to the Communists to get himself assassinated, then a truly good man such as Carson wouldn’t have a chance. I think Obama so completely finished filling our bureaucracies and agencies with Marxists and their fellow travelers and useful idiots, that no good president could accomplish anything anyway.
Of course, I will vote for Trump if it comes down to it, even if it is a bit like playing Russian Roulette.
If it is between Trump and Biden we know that Trump is the lesser of two evils. We have no choice but to avoid the greater evil.
True
Perhaps there will be an epiphany, where people start to realize the danger. But then, it is a dream only. Not the way history generally plays out. We shall see as events test people. Men can improve.
It is the “race to the bottom,” where standards fall and bungle-creep creeps in.
I will pray that Trump is given the wisdom to choose Ben Carson but Ben doesn’t sit at the popular kids lunch table so the chances are pretty slim.
@Greyknight, I don’t blame anyone for voting for Trump. I understand. When Biden is on the other ticket, it makes Trump look like George Washington.
I don’t blame them either. I was only speaking for myself.
Saw Trump’s abortion-statement on Truth Social yesterday. His physical appearance seemed somehow off, odd. Also, it was as if he wanted to mitigate his liberal stance on abortion by harping on about IVF. Hardly, I would’ve thought, an especially popular issue with conservatives. Strange..
@JRNyquist: Whether one loves or hates him, isn’t Trump the best option now for Conservatives? Just my opinion, but I like to think he’s better than ‘the lesser of two evils’.
I like Ben Carson too–he seems like a good, honest man, but I’m rather surprised that you have such regard for him, to think he’d be a good match for the highest office in the land. I mean, I don’t know whether he would be good or not in that role–I’ve never given it thought.
I do like, though, how you refer to Biden as a ‘non-entity’–that sums him up well, past and present.
It is hard to judge these candidates for President. I know about Carson’s career, his childhood, and his education; and as I said, his grasp of security issues involved hands-on reading and learning. So I cannot help preferring him to the others -/ if only because he might be the only politician to understand the problem we have with Moscow and Beijing. Always, it is the failure to understand this that promises trouble in the future. While Trump is better than Biden in my view, I do not trust his braggadocio.
CMA, immediately after Trump was elected in 2016 Russia celebrated openly (probably to discredit him and make him look like their agent). Since then, he did a lot to make European countries to invest in NATO, which made him look, as if he is opposing NATO by withdrawing America’s support. He was against the North Stream pipe, warning Germany that it increases their dependency on Russia. He ordered to kill hundreds of Wagner militants in Syria, without any fear of upsetting Putin. It’s only him and Erdogan, who shot down Russian plane, who were brave enough to oppose Russian military (except for Ukraine of course).
According to insider information from Kremlin, Russia will try to do most harm now, before Trump possibly comes to power, because Russian elites consider him unpredictable. Which I think is true. In some cases, his narcissistic personality brings about good results, because people with NPD are not easily manipulated by guilt or other manipulative techniques, used by Russians. And he is definitely better than Biden.
Thank you for that information, it is helpful.
@ВАЛЕНТИНА ЧЕРНЮК: Thanks for info. About Erdogan, he recently suffered a massive defeat in the country for his reluctance to deal with Palestine which is a Russian trap. There’s merit that Russia detests Erdogan since he is unpredictable as Trump.
Can you tell me more on what Erdogan has done to upset the global communists?
XENO MAN, if you were asking me about Erdogan, I do not know much about him. To me he is also a bit of a narcissistic type, where he is a law to himself and unpredictable as you say. I am not sure if Russia detests Erdogan. I know that Putin respected him even while implementing sanctions against Turkey for shooting down that plane.
Yes, Trump is unpredictable, and might do something in our favor. Biden is predictable and will hurt us all.
I want to add that first part of Russian aggression against Ukraine and Russian participation in Syrian war started during democrat Obama. Russia was quiet during Trump’s presidency. Then in January of 2021, immediately after Biden’s inauguration (the timing was very striking to me) Russia started the process of pulling their army to the Ukrainian border. Actions speak louder then words.
Trump visited USSR with Ivana in 1987 – her father was communist secret police informer, she was listed on Czechoslovak Foreign Espionage list, which is truly surprising they would let out, but the reason for it is then obvious – they wanted to create a confusion, so that people wouldn’t know what to believe, which is a know communist psychological warfare tactic.

Article about Bergoglio’s communist connections, except that they use the term “pope”, which he, as excommunicated apostate does not have…Can. 188, #4, and Can. 2314, 1917 Code of Canon Law…etc.
https://catholiccitizens.org/issues/marxismcommunism/89827/scalfari-book-exposes-young-bergoglios-communist-leanings/
The KGB etc. wanted to silence the Vatican, and when Pius XII died in 1958, they were glad that Roncalli was elected (validly), who had strong communist connections. He began all these changes that crippled the Church and brought in more communist agents, including Montini, Wojtyla and Ratzinger afterwards…and now Bergoglio.
Ratzinger wrote in his abominable “book” Principles of Catholic Theology, one of the worst kind of heresies, truly diabolical idiocy, and that is (if memory serves well, but then this is so evil that one doesn’t forget):
“The truth is by becoming…” – which means that what the truth always is and have been, according to Ratzinger it can become another truth contrary to the truth which is now…
Ratzinger in it also quoted Hegel the Marxist philosopher/ ideologue, which is another scandal. The book is full of heresy, Ratzinger is now paying for it in Hell, alongside Wojtyla, Montini (connections to the Kremlin while Vatican under-secretary of State during the 1950s).
The book is very hard to get, it is so far not available online, only physical copy for sale.

———–
Therefore what Mr. Trump says, i.e., to have good relationship with Russia, one must reject on principle such a relationship, and thoroughly, without the slightest compromise.
Trump got a 150 million loan from long-term KGB asset Soros, to build the Trump Tower in Chicago…this is when it was being built back then.
Trump did serious economic harm to China with the tariffs. He also made significant progress in closing the southern border. Russia did not make any moves against Ukraine while Trump was in office like he has with both Obama and Biden in office. Whatever Trump’s faults, and they are obviously many, it seems very unlikely that he has been compromised by the communists.
So, you hold that Ratzinger and Wojtyla were agents of the communist bloc? Is there any defense that could be offered for their actions? Can you expand on the diabolical idiocy of Ratzinger’s book? I have not read it.
Concerned, i red the Book of Ratzinger and there is a part where he clearly takes position against Hegel. How can you say that Wojtila and Ratzinger were socialists? I mean all the media, newspapers were against Ratzinger at the end he left. Look at Bergoglio, no one is criticising him (and he is cleaerly a socialist). Ratzinger excommunicated, as he was cardinal, many priesters who adhered at liberation theology, he was spied by communist agents. In Italy Carlo Maria Vigano spreads all these strange theories. Anyway also in his memories Ratzinger stated that during the second Vatican Council he distanced himself from Karl Rahner.
Thank you Giacomo, for clarifying. Philosophic and theological texts are very complicated and people can misunderstand what is being said. CONCERNED thinks Ratzinger was agreeing with Hegel. You read the book and say he was disagreeing. In a complex book, where you present an argument you later criticize, it may appear you are making that argument to someone who does not read carefully. Maybe this is the case here. I do not know.
How about this little item, Concerned:
https://t.me/uatv_eng/15091
To me, Trump proved he was no worthy leader when he worked the folks up on January 6, and then abandoned them -as president and commander-in-chief!
So, here we see that he can boast about how he would end the war in 24 hours; that Putin didn’t attack under *his* presidency; that in order for a peace deal to be worked out, Ukrainian land that Ukrainians have *died* for would have to be given to Russia…
We see Mike Pence and a several different Congress members go to Ukraine…
But, but, but Trump won’t go, *even though Zelensky has invited him to come see the situation for himself*, because it wouldn’t be appropriate since he is not the President.
But, he can host Bolsonaro at Mar-a-lago. He can recieve Putin toadie and Hungarian prime minister Orban at Mar-a-Lago.
He can talk matter of factly about giving blood soaked Ukrainian land away, but he won’t take Zelensky up on his invitation to see the situation in Ukraine for himself.
I speak only for myself, but I say Trump is a chicken. I’d like to describe him in a bit rougher language, but I refrain.
Chicken.
But what can one expect of a man with no convictions to give him courage? He is a man who talks junk, and knows what the people want to hear. But he has no bedrock convictions to fight the evils arrayed against America and the West.
I agree with Jeff, that we must vote for him just on the chance he could do something to help us – but to me, it’s like the old saying “every little bit helps.” He’s just a very little bit to add to all the other little bits and bigger bits.
I heard that treacherous Biden administration is giving another win to Iran where Israel will enter a permanent ceasefire with Gaza, while Palestine will become a state.
How bad will this be if it is true?

One more thing – about the Katyn Forrest massacre
this link is to one of the better documentaries about it, and it has lot of authentic video – film footage from that time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2djnWw751s
There is also the case of the dead of then Polish PM Gen. Sikorski, the Poles do not believe to this day that Stalin had nothing to do with it (it happened in Gibraltar, plane crash)…the only one who survived was the Czech pilot…Sikorski learned about Katyn etc. NKVD murders of these 20 thousand Polish officers, and he confronted Stalin with it, so one has to consider whether that evil man wanted his revenge…anyway, it adds to the point that Russian Bolsheviks must never be trusted…never.
Therefore what Mr. Trump says, i.e., to have good relationship with Russia, one must reject on principle such a relationship, and thoroughly, without the slightest compromise.
Things about to go hot between Israel and Iran?
https://open.substack.com/pub/andmagazine/p/is-iran-preparing-to-nuke-israel?r=z5cxo&utm_medium=ios
This is interesting. However, I maintain a steadfast view that primary Hamas assault last year was designed to prevent Saudi and Israel to normalize. The ongoing debacle in Israel/Palestine serves as a masterful political play from Iran to seize the total domination over Islam. Saudi Arabia and Sunni states have lost leadership over Islam over their falures to help Palestine, in the eyes of Islamic radicals, who now believe Iran is the savior. I suspect that Iran would rather want to destroy Saudi Arabia rather than Israel here. Because Israel serves as the perfect source of blame to galvanize Islamic radicals towards Iranian, Islamic communism. They can keep Israel to exist as a state in parallel with Palestine to maintain Iran’s leadership in Islam. Iran definitely wants to destroy Saudi Arabia as it has done against Libya whom Gaddafi had a historical feud with Iranian mullahs. Currently, crown prince MBS has done many liberal acts that are abominable towards Islamic radicalism. There’s an ongoing media campaign to demonize Saudi royalty and other Sunni leaders. I fear that Iran is cooking up the next Arab Spring to seize control over Islam and overthrow the Saudis whom military has significantly weakened after its failure to defeat Yemeni Houthis.
In short term, Iran just wants to remove Netanyahu who is also unpredictable as Trump or Erdogan, and US Democrats (Communists) want it to occur. In the long term, Iran wants to use this Israel crisis to destroy Saudi for good.
What do you think about the meeting between XI and MA? May it be that CCP was able to take the control over MA and its party?
I do not know the answer.
Re: GIACOMOAGUS:
Concerned is right, Cardinal Bergoglio is not the real Pope. The last Pope was Ratzinger who gave up the ministerium but not the munus. From the 60 Moscow started to infiltrate the Vatican, in the 80 their “Man” was Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini who travelled many times to Moscow and founded the so called “”San Gallo Mafia” and with Cardinal Ivo Fuehrer and other ones arranged the election of the socialist Cardinal Bergoglio.
———-
Ratzinger was never validly elected to the Papacy either, the cut off was with Roncalli in 1962.
The FBI back then was so alarmed about Montini and Roncalli having so many communist connections, the FBI started a file on each of them. When the source asked the FBI about both files some years back, the FBI replies with newspaper clippings on Roncalli (John XXIII) and lied that the file on Montini does not exist….because obviously he was so deep into it with the Kremlin that the communist penetrated FBI couldn’t possibly reveal the connections and details, even through the FOIA request.
The source says that this has happened about 20 years ago, so imagine how bad the situation is today over there.
The Vatican was (is) KGB priority #1, and it goes way back, further than anybody thinks. But as far as the Canon Law etc. is concerned, the cut off was in 1962, so those who dared to claim the Papacy after that are simply impostors, heretics and excommunicated enemies of the Church (with communist connections), INCLUDING today that layman impostor Bergoglio. Ratzinger was validly ordained to Priesthood, but excommunicated himself for joining this false non-Catholic religion, he is paying for it in Hell today – and the rest of them too.
What are the theological implications of the Pope not being Catholic, or not being a “real” Pope. Is it similar to Biden not being the real President? What does this do to the concept of the “Church,” if the Church itself recognizes him as Pope? Is it not mind-boggling?
No, there is no similarity possible as you describe it, because the Catholic Church is guided by the power of the Holy Ghost and can never fall into heresy or any other pernicious error whatsoever, and so those who claim to be Catholic “hierarchy” and teach heresy and have perverted the sacraments and Church Laws and on and on and on, they are automatically excommunicated and do not possess any authority nor jurisdiction in the Church.
The concept of the Church – well, God set it up, He is in charge, and so there is no change, as the primary mission of the Church is salvation of souls, and so those who work against it and claim to be Catholic, they are no longer (or from the beginning – that is at all) Catholic nor members of the Church.
Biden is an apostate, most likely fully committed communist, and playing his “catholic conviction” as part of non-Catholic Novus Ordo Sect, and so there is no comparison possible between the secular meaning and Divine Law and the Catholic Church as Divine Institution..
Of course Biden will have to pay to God for all his evils he has committed and he cannot be absolve of it unless he restores everything to justice and truth and repays everything he has done evil, to the last penny – and there is no indication he would do that, so he is safely on his way to his eternal place in Hell, and the Sect cannot absolve him as heretics cannot absolve from sins in confessional (among others, and Canon Law – Canon 873 or so, St. Thomas Aquinas teaches on this subject also that heretics cannot absolve from sins in the Sacrament of Penance).
CONCERNED: So what you are saying is that ninety percent or more of the Catholic Church is not Catholic or the Church. Right? Because they accept and go along with the current Papacy. And if anyone in the Catholic Church goes agaisnt the Church, do they get kicked out? How does that work if Catholics denounced the Pope. Don’t they get denounced?
Jeff, regarding comments that Jimmy makes regarding the Communist infiltration into our country via illegal immigration, Ann Coulter wrote a great book back in 2015, “Adios America!”
She writes on page 71-72 “Most Americans have no idea of the scale of Third World immigration pouring into the country.”
“There were 11 million illegals in the United States as of 2005…”
Coulter writes, “It’s been a decade and we’re still being told….that there are just 11 million illegal immigrants here.”
She wrote this book in 2015 and at the time she posed the real number was 30 million! Almost another decade now and how many more have poured across?
Plus, Chinese military Special forces as well as Russian Spetsnaz?
Ordinary Americans, should be training, becoming familiar with their rifles, small arms, and stocking up on food and ammo. Beans and bullets. Hard times are coming to our homeland very soon.
Our elected political representatives (both sides of the aisle) have no idea, or maybe they do, and are all helping our enemies.
Jimmy mentioned Diana West. I think it’s been discussed on another of your articles but West seems to have switched her opinions and writes pro Russian propaganda now.
I have not followed Diana lately. Does she really write pro-Russian essays? Perhaps she is merely against supporting Ukraine (which is inadvertently pro-Russian).
The Contemplative Observer commented this on your last article regarding Diana West. It seems she is against supporting Ukraine and not actually writing pro Russia essays. However, it would seem she is leaning towards conspiracy theories nowadays. Another disappointment in someone who is supposed to be on our side against disinformation and propaganda.
“It seems Diana West is now a believer in RFK Jr. and views Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination, 9/11, if not the 10/7 Hamas atrocities against Israel, as “inside jobs”. She could as well sign up with Alex Jones’ team of “investigators”. – Very unfortunate!”
Having read Robert Kennedy’s interesting book on Dr. Fauci, I found many questionable footnotes and sources used by RFK, including his use of John Perkins’s “Confessions of an Economic Hitman,” which I read the first half of and found to be an obvious piece of lying propaganda. When political scientists were asked to comment on Perkins, one said it was the usual “semi-truthful, exaggerated” nonsense. The book is not taken serious by academics or political scientists. And if any did take it serious, the embarrassment would be all theirs. We find, throughout RFK’s analysis, a conspiracy theorists resentments and hobby horses, strewn about. No serious analysis of Russian and Chinese motives, or of their vast intelligence networks and use of organized crime. Does Diana support RFK?
I follow Diana West fairly regularly, and I would say that Jeff’s characterization is closer to the mark; she is ambivalent about Ukraine and our involvement but definitely not pro Russia or pro Putin. She once expressed her surprise at Archbishop Vigano’s anti-Israel statements, and I posted a copy of an article reporting on Vigano’s Russophilia, saying that his position on Israel logically follows. She thanked me for that piece of information, and there was no indication that she was inclined to be defensive or apologetic about Russia.
She says frequently that the people who appear to be running things are not running things, that there is some other entity or organization above or behind it all. I hope she will soon connect the red dots — or tie the Red Threads.
I would be surprised if Diana thinks the organization undermining the country is not an arm of the communist movement.
As the deed is done, and the illegal immigrants — all thirty million — have been here for one or two decades or more — are their children now Americans? In what sense might they be “other” than American? And how does this relate to the overwhelming white upper middle class being essentially bourgeois/bolsheviks in the process of committing collective suicide? Can we predict what this soup will taste like after another decade?
I wouldn’t consider these people who have been here for decades Americans.

This is the question we must answer, and we must get a consensus on this at some point. If not, where do we go as Americans?
No, the children of illegal immigrants are not “Americans.” SCOTUS is corrupt. The uphold the law when is suits their purposes, and ignore when it does not. They have consistently misapplied the 14th amendment.
This is such muddy water, and the country needs clarity on it.
I read this article via The Washington Post yesterday.
Surprising, as The Post has been proven to be a pro Communist rag for years….
“Russian trolls target U.S. support for Ukraine, Kremlin documents show”
By Catherine Belton and Joseph Menn
When President Biden proposed an additional $24 billion in supplemental funding for Ukraine in August, Moscow spin doctors working for the Kremlin were ready to try to undermine public support for the bill, internal Kremlin documents show.
In an ongoing campaign that seeks to influence congressional and other political debates to stoke anti-Ukraine sentiment, Kremlin-linked political strategists and trolls have written thousands of fabricated news articles, social media posts and comments that promote American isolationism, stir fear over the United States’ border security and attempt to amplify U.S. economic and racial tensions, according to a trove of internal Kremlin documents obtained by a European intelligence service and reviewed by The Washington Post.
One of the political strategists, for instance, instructed a troll farm employee working for his firm to write a comment of “no more than 200 characters in the name of a resident of a suburb of a major city.” The strategist suggested that this fictitious American “doesn’t support the military aid that the U.S. is giving Ukraine and considers that the money should be spent defending America’s borders and not Ukraine’s. He sees that Biden’s policies are leading the U.S. toward collapse.”
The documents — numbering more than 100 and dating between May 2022 and August 2023 — were provided to The Post to expose Kremlin propaganda operations aimed at undermining support for Ukraine in the United States, as well as their scale and methods. The files are part of a series of leaks that have allowed a rare glimpse into Moscow’s parallel efforts to weaken support for Ukraine in France and Germany, as well as destabilize Ukraine itself.
Russia has been ramping up its propaganda operations as part of a second front that current and former senior Western officials said has become almost as important for Moscow as the military campaign in Ukraine — especially as congressional approval for further aid has become critical for Kyiv’s ability to continue defending itself.
“It is Russia’s top priority to stop the weapons, so they are throwing things at the wall to see what sticks,” said one Republican staffer on Capitol Hill. “We are seeing a broad-based campaign that has multiple lines of effort, some of which work better than others. The Russians don’t care. They are just trying to seed the environment.” The staffer and other Western officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive assessments.
The campaign has attempted to paint Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as corrupt, emphasized the numbers of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, called for border security to be funded over any aid to Ukraine, and described “white Americans” as the principal losers because of foreign aid, the documents show.
The strategy promotes views from the far-right wing of the Republican Party and calls for some of the messaging to be voiced by American “public opinion leaders and politicians,” one of the documents shows, but it does not name any people who could be enlisted to do that.
Many of the documents contain metadata showing they were written by members of a team working for Ilya Gambashidze, head of the Moscow PR firm Social Design Agency. The United States imposed sanctions on Gambashidze last month for his involvement in “a persistent foreign malign influence campaign” at the Kremlin’s direction, including the creation of websites designed to impersonate legitimate media outlets in Europe, part of a campaign that Western officials have called “Doppelganger.”
Neither Gambashidze nor Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to a request for comment.
The campaign is part of an increasingly sophisticated strategy that has built on nearly 10 years of Kremlin efforts to elevate the voices of populist anti-establishment politicians opposed to the U.S. global role, analysts and former American officials said.
With the far-right wing of the Republican Party essentially blocking passage of any further assistance to Ukraine since August, the Kremlin’s efforts to undermine support for Ukraine may have so far gained more traction in the United States than anywhere else.
“The impact of the Russian program over the last decade … is seen in the U.S. congressional debate over Ukraine aid,” said Clint Watts, the head of Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center. “They have had an impact in a strategic aggregate way.
“You would never have previously heard … politicians in the U.S. saying Ukraine is not significant enough and we will not support NATO. On a digital platform, your ability to do these things works.”
Rep. Michael R. Turner (R-Ohio), who chairs the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Sunday it was “absolutely true” that some Republican members of Congress were repeating Russian propaganda about the invasion of Ukraine. “We see directly coming from Russia attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages — some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” Turner said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Watts said Russia “tells audiences 80 percent of what they are already hearing and 20 percent what they want the audiences to hear. They match the demand for information and then add some of their own information, and over time, that’s highly effective.”
Kremlin efforts to interfere in the U.S. political system first became evident in the run-up to the 2016 presidential elections, when the U.S. intelligence community concluded that Russia had deployed a network of trolls — creators of fake social media accounts — to spread disinformation boosting the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and seeking to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, including stories using material hacked from the Clinton campaign. Since then, some social media platforms have sought to tighten scrutiny of hostile state actors, but disinformation campaigns still proliferate.
Plans by Gambashidze’s team refer to using “short-lived” social media accounts aimed at avoiding detection. Social media manipulators have established a technique of using accounts to send out links to material and then deleting their posts or accounts once others have reshared the content. The idea is to obscure the true origin of misleading information and keep the channel open for future influence operations, disinformation researchers said.
Propaganda operatives have used another technique to spread just a web address, rather than the words in a post, to frustrate searches for that material, according to the social media research company Alethea, which called the tactic “writing with invisible ink.” Other obfuscation tricks include redirecting viewers through a series of seemingly random websites until they arrive at a deceptive article.
One of the documents reviewed by The Post called for the use of Trump’s Truth Social platform as the only way to disseminate posts “without censorship,” while “short-lived” accounts would be created for Facebook, Twitter (now known as X) and YouTube.
Pushing content every single day
The Kremlin turned in earnest to undermining American support for Ukraine in January 2023. Sergei Kiriyenko, the Kremlin’s first deputy chief of staff, called in the team of political strategists already working on campaigns to weaken backing for Kyiv in Europe, including Gambashidze, and asked them to expand their efforts, the documents show. The strategists employ dozens of troll farm employees and translators.
The Moscow spin doctors were soon ordered to create media content for Americans that would promote corruption allegations involving the Ukrainian leadership — “the sale and theft of weapons” given to Ukraine, one document shows.
The strategists were told to cultivate an environment in which “Americans are not ready to sacrifice their well-being for the sake of the conflict in Ukraine,” as well as representing Russia’s increasingly close relationship with China as a new threat “created by the U.S.’s own activities.”
When Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), a leading opponent of aid to Ukraine, warned of “a dangerous bipartisan consensus that is leading us into war with Russia” and slammed Washington’s initial $40 billion aid package for Kyiv in 2022 as coming “while Americans go without baby formula,” the Russians singled it out for their trolls as an example of the kind of message that should be amplified.
“It’s important to note that for effective work we need to keep fakes to the minimum and realistic information to the max,” one of the proposals by Gambashidze’s team of strategists states. “A constant refrain should be: ‘this is what’s really happening, this is what the official media are not telling you about.’”
A spokesman for Gaetz, Joel Valdez, responded to Kremlin strategists invoking the congressman’s statements by noting that Gaetz had been personally sanctioned by Russia in April 2022. Hundreds of House members were sanctioned at that time.
Social media posts and comments were to be created as well as YouTube videos that would stoke racial and social discord in the United States and amplify the themes of “universal poverty, record inflation, a halt to economic growth … the risk of job losses for white Americans, privileges for colored and degenerate people and invalids,” according to the proposal, the metadata of which shows it was written by a member of Gambashidze’s team.
The posts would promote fears that overspending on foreign policy had been to “the detriment of defending the interests of white people in the U.S.” and the idea that “America will lose, despite Biden’s efforts, that we will be drawn into war and our guys will die in Ukraine.”
The strategists wrote numerous recommendations for articles or social media posts, the documents show. One sought to compare the level of homelessness in America with that of Russia and states that the United States is starting to increasingly resemble a “Third World country.” A recommended social media comment from a fictitious American in response to the article states: “I am overcome with anger when another Ukrainian aid package is distributed right before my eyes into the pockets of American and Ukrainian officials. Indeed, it is hard to understand such gestures of ‘help’ when one’s own homeless sit at the feet of passersby [and] sleep under bridges.”
As the Biden administration prepared once again this spring to try to push supplemental funding for Ukraine through Congress, sites linked by Microsoft and other social media researchers to the Kremlin campaign launched fresh attempts to spread misleading content over immigration and the border with Mexico. In one instance, a site identified by Meta as part of the Doppelganger network posted an article about what it called a wave of illegal immigration that it claimed was “undermining the foundation of national security.”
“You just have to push content every single day,” Watts said. “It is really the availability of that over time that does work, as someone will stumble over it, a politician or celebrity will find it over time just based on the availability of content.”
The drafts proposed by the strategists reflect themes and narratives visible on the Recent Reliable News network and other related outlets — sites that remain online and that the documents show are controlled by the Kremlin officials working with Gambashidze and other strategists. The texts published were different, according to Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center, which reviewed a sample of the comments and articles created by Gambashidze’s team. Microsoft and the social media intelligence company Graphika said it was possible the draft articles were published on Doppelganger sites later taken down and blocked by social media platforms. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, joined social media research companies to first expose the Doppelganger campaign in September 2022.
As the Kremlin spin doctors worked, they closely monitored opinion polling in the United States and a decline in support among Americans, especially Republicans, for Ukraine. They also conducted twice-monthly surveys with a mechanism they called “river sampling” — conducting internet polls through online advertising and social media networks such as Facebook and TikTok. The results, showing small declines in support for Ukraine, seem wholly unreliable but were passed along to the strategists’ Kremlin masters as measures of success.
Fake news articles alleging Zelensky’s corruption pushed out by Russian-linked websites during the congressional debates on assistance for Ukraine in the fall have resonated. One of the most successful claims was disseminated by DC Weekly — a respectable-seeming internet outlet, which disinformation researchers at Clemson University traced back to domains affiliated with a former American police officer, John Mark Dougan, who has reinvented himself as a pro-Russian journalist in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.
Through DC Weekly, a fake news story alleging that Zelensky had bought two yachts with American aid money went viral in November. The claim — patently false and denied by Zelensky’s government — was picked up by far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who linked to a story about the rumor on X.
One pro-Ukraine senator, North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis, told CNN that the debate on aid had been halted in part because some politicians said they were concerned about the corruption allegations and the notion that “people will buy yachts with this money.”
The Russian active measures have been very effective on the Republican side. The Washington Post would not be against Russia, except that Putin has pretended to be a Christian and a conservative. And so, the great irony is, the Russians are betrayed by their left-of-center dupes and helped by their new right-of-center ones. Confusing, to be sure, and successful (so far). They have guessed that the left in America will not really defend Ukraine, that only the right would naturally do this. Now that the right is neutralized, they can finesse their “friends” on the American left.
You can really tell that the Gateway Pundit and the Conservative Treehouse -two sites that forged reputations for being unapologetically “Conservative”, and pro-American, have been infested by these Communist trolls for some time. And a lot of the content seems to be driven by such propagandistic goals.
That’s the problem with conservatives who do not know their enemy — or themselves.
Gateway Pundit (TGP) started pro-Ukraine and actually raised money for them. Sometime in the interval between 2022 and 2014, they did a 180 and came out as little more than a Putinist propaganda outlet. Larry Johnson, a geopolitical incompetent who is also a product of the CIA, publishes regularly there, and they also cite Ritter and MacGregor regularly. Ritter lied about Iraq, and MacGregor has shown no ability to judge the situation in Ukraine and has been uniformly wrong in his predictions.
TGP has ceased to be conservative, as has Sundance (Conservative tree house), Burning Platform, and a long list of others. I don’t think it is too strong to call them dupes.
Poor Larry Johnson. He was pro-Russian before the war started, as I had an argument with him in 2021. He was quite emotional on the subject, which I could not understand. There is a larger story here.
QUOTE: (Mr. Nyquist):
Yes, Trump is unpredictable, and might do something in our favor. Biden is predictable and will hurt us all.

Well, as the professional thieves and robbers they are, the Bolsheviks would sometime like to have the targeted country restored economically, but never militarily, and put the country into much deeper sleep, the old tactic of escalation and then de-escalation.
And then they are ready to hit as hard as possible and to come with the ground troops and rob the country blind…that is probably the overall intent, and not so little manifest, as they have done this before so they know how exactly to proceed and how exactly to conquer.
So when it comes to Mr. Trump, he will most certainly fix the economy and bring everybody into the communist desired mode of careless relaxation, even perhaps signing more contracts with the CCP and making peace with Russia and between Russia and Ukraine, but then without anybody expecting it, they will hit and hit hard, to get their final diabolical ends.
Of course, if there won’t be Trump’s presidency, then they would like to escalate even a civil war in the US, and the conflict in Ukraine might become nuclear, but this is uncertain.
The their nuclear blackmail of EU will commence, and their KGB agents inside those governments will be ordered to surrender…and run over by ground troops….this is one of the possible scenarios. Peace and prosperity is only for temporal reasons with the communists, destruction and occupation of entire countries is the final end for which they will sacrifice anything, even large parts of their own population.
Yes, there is an economic objective involved in Russia and China’s manuevers. Let’s hope they fail.
Mr. Nyquist:
If the current Pope is a layman, how is he sitting in the chair of St. Peter. This is a grave matter indeed. To what extent are all our institutions made into a mockery?
————-
Yes, he is a layman and no, he is not sitting on the Chair of St. Peter as that Chair is no longer in the Vatican…
It is truly a horrible situation but the Church Law is very explicit on this account – election of a heretic (beginning from Montini, then Luciani, then Wojtyla and Ratzinger and now Bergoglio), is invalid and it cannot obtain validity, even if the whole world accepts such heretics as the “popes”, a heretic cannot sit on the Chair of St. Peter and he does not possess the assistance of the Holy Ghost to teach and sanctify the Church with the doctrine of salvation, which is solely and only Catholic Tradition.
To make the entire account what evils this horrible sect has committed, you would have to leave the comment section open for an entire week, if not longer.
They changed everything, including the Sacraments (the Mass, Rites of Ordination etc,), everything, they desecrated all churches, including Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican, and much and much more.
Wojtyla was a valid bishop, Ratzinger was at least valid priest, Montini was just a Monsignor, and Luciani, he was most likely murdered to open the door for Wojtyla, but he was equally heretic as well. All automatically excommunicated – Canon 2314, 1917 Code.
The genuine Catholic Church is today in the catacombs again – scriptural reference is clear – 2 places speak about this point – Gospel of St. Mathew and St. Luke – both say: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together…
Which means that the body, which is the Catholic Church, will be removed from Rome and be elsewhere…God is in charge, the devil is trying to destroy the Church and these people, all and every one of them, with communist and socialist connections.
The quote from Gorbachov from 1987 is quite fitting…and the aftermath makes sense, as far as the results tell, because now these enemies of the Church control the Church property and teach evil and false religion which is not Catholic.
Pacepa wrote about what the KGB did in South America (“Liberation Theology”), but what they did in Rome, only very few understand – Sejna knew of 5 agents they had in the Vatican, so there must have been many more from other countries, but mainly Italian communist agents.
That article about Bergoglio and the communist woman in Argentina, that is just a tip of the iceberg. It is truly this bad, and perhaps even worse than anybody can imagine. God will visit these evildoers with horrible punishment, that is for certain.
If the leadership of the Church are enemies of Christ, what has the Church then become, in your view?
Depends on how one defines “church”.
They can never be leaders of the Church, as you put it, who are enemies of Christ Our Lord, that is impossible – and the Catholic Church stands protected, by Divine Law (St. Matthew 16 etc.), and by Church Law – Canon 2314, 1917 Code, automatic excommunication for heresy etc., and also Canon 188, #4, automatic loss of clerical office if the cleric, including validly elected Pope, falls into heresy.
The Catholic Church is Divine Institution and cannot change, and so those who betray the Church and become Her enemies, they are at that moment IPSO FACTO excommunicated and out of the Church.
The Catholic Church today is back in the catacombs…and very few understand this and very few believe this, and then they blame the Church for what the Church is not capable to do, nor has done, and instead the Novus Ordo Sect is guilty of…
It will take a miracle of God for people to realize where they stand and how they must proceed in order to save their souls, but that is up to God and His mercy, nothing less.
One more thing to add – and yes, it is very hard to believe that this is the truth, but it is the truth.
Since the Vatican is occupied by non-Catholic communist friendly sect, all diplomatic relations with it are nothing but scandal and biggest farce that have ever existed. This involves all countries in diplomatic relationship with the Sect in the Vatican – and they don’t even understand that they have been had…by the devil’s henchmen, most likely all communist agents in service of Moscow !
It has gone truly this far and it is this bad – people who don’t have any authority nor membership in the Catholic Church are recognized by the world as if they had it, and then people ask the question why it is so bad then ?
Because the world has become one godless cesspool of evil, crime, immorality and other such like wickedness, so God has left the world with this kind of sect and His Church is in hiding.
Now those who don’t truly believe, they will never understand this point. There are even those who claim horrible things about the Catholic Church and try to compare the Catholic religion to communism, which is completely sacrilegious and preposterous idiocy and a complete heretical nonsense.
Communism is atheistic, which is a heresy of heresies – to communists God does not exist. How can that be similar to Catholic religion ? A complete heretical nonsense and VERY insulting.
What about Catholics — good people — who do not understand the threat of communism?
True Catholics understand the threat of communism by the grace of God, and because of the teaching of the Church and prohibitions thereof, including excommunication – Decree of the Holy Office from 1949 AD, this was under Pope Pius XII Pacelli.
That was one of the first things this sect eliminated, that was already Roncalli when he was elected in 1958, he may have waited couple years, but that Decree is gone today.
Those who are good people, and call themselves Catholic, they have to make sure that leave this Sect and are reconciled with the Church, and that seems like impossible task for many of them, they simply don’t believe that the communist attack is in such a magnitude.
But the 3rd Secret of Fatima, which this Sect suppressed and never properly fully revealed, that speaks about this, and of course the Holy Scripture warns about this general apostasy etc.
The communists wouldn’t be able to proceed with the Perestroika fraud if the Vatican was still Catholic, and they couldn’t even succeed in Italy in elections while Pius XII was still alive, he condemned them and they lost at polls big time because those who would vote for them were declared excommunicated by that 1949 Decree.
That’s the tragedy of the world today. First time this truth was apparent, the present author didn’t sleep for a week, that’s how serious and how evil this scheme is, but the study of Church Law cannot be replaced by wishing the horrible situation not to exist…it simply cannot be set aside and ignored.
I find the comment by ВАЛЕНТИНА ЧЕРНЮК insulting and in violation of the guidelines that Jeff has repeatedly laid down for discourse on this blog. She apparently feels no inhibition about being insulting. There has been a lot of discussion about the Church in these comments, and they have been about the hierarchy, the legitimacy or non-legitimacy of the present occupant of the papacy and the infiltration of communists into the institutional Church. I am a “devote” [sic] and practicing Catholic, and I may agree or disagree with the opinions expressed on these matters. The comment to which I object is different in character. And I would add, an advantage of being a well instructed Catholic is the ability to smell gnosticism in Tarkovsky through all the lush, cinematic effects which ВАЛЕНТИНА ЧЕРНЮК finds so enchanting. And so, apparently, did the Soviet apparatus — and they approved.
Yes. Deborah Cole is right. It’s not appropriate to cast aspersions on an entire religion. Communism does not come out of Catholicism. It is opposed to Catholicism. This should be perfectly clear.
Thank you, Jeff.
I am sorry,Deborah Cole for hurting your feelings in any way. In my defence, I did say that there are good people in Catholic church. And I did not say that Communism came from Catholicism. I just saw some parallels. In the future I will try not to feel free to share my thoughts here.
Melgounov explains: “In fact, each Che-Ka seems to have had its speciality in torture. Kharkov, for instance, under Saenko, went in primarily for scalpings and hand flayings; and in Voronezh the person to be tortured was first stripped naked, and then thrust into a nail-studded barrel, and rolled about in it, or else branded on the forehead with a five-pointed star, or, if a member of the clergy, ‘crowned’ with barbed wire. As for the Che-Kas of Tasritisin and Kamishin, it was their custom to saw their victims’ bones apart, whilst Poltava and Kremenchoug made it their special rule to impale clergy (once, in the latter place, where a ruffian named Grishka was in command, eighteen monks were transfixed in a single day). Also, inhabitants have testified that Grishka would burn at the stake any peasant who had been prominent in a rebellion, and sit on a chair to enjoy the spectacle. The Che-Ka of Ekaterinoslav, again, went in for crucifixion and death by stoning, and the Che-Ka of Odessa for putting officers to death by chaining them to planks, and slowly, very slowly, pushing them into furnaces, or else tearing their bodies on a capstan wheel, or else immersing them in a boiler of water heated to simmering point, and then flinging them into the sea, before finally consigning them to the flames again.”
A refugee from Tiflis reported, “The town was wholly given up to pillage and rapine… One night a friend of mine saw a huge pile of corpses – 300 or so of them – lying in the Cathedral Square. All the house walls around them were bespattered with blood, and evidently a very large number of executions had taken place. In the pile were men and women, were old and young, were military and civilian, were Georgian and Russian, were rich and poor.”
Melgounov gives a quote from another book published in 1918, ‘Seventy-four Days of Bolshevist Rule’ by A. Lokerman, dealing with the massacres at Rostov: “After being divested of their clothing at Sivers’ headquarters (save that a few were allowed to retain their trousers and boots, and a few even their shirts as well, since those garments could, of course, be removed after execution), the prisoners, men naked and barefooted, were, in this twentieth century, marched along a snow-covered street to the churchyard, and shot. And though most of them died praying and crossing themselves, it need hardly be said that such concessions to ‘bourgeois prejudice’ as a blind-folding of the prisoners, or a permitting of a priest to be present, were ignored.”
Quoting from a scene of Steinberg’s ‘The Moral Aspect of Revolution’ depicting events in Tambov Province: “In this district the peasants had a particular veneration for an ikon of the Vishinskaya Madonna; and when influenza broke out in the district, a solemn procession was held in the ikon’s honour, and a celebrating of Mass. And, on the Bolshevists seizing both ikon and clergy, and the peasants learning later that the Che-Ka had insulted the ikon, and ‘dragged it about the floor’, they set forth to ‘rescue Our Lady’, with women and children and the aged and everyone else joining the throng. And then the Che-Ka turned machine-guns upon them, and mowed them down in rows as, ‘with terrible eyes which saw nothing’, they moved forward over the bodies of dying and dead, and mothers, flinging themselves before their children, cried: ‘O Holy Virgin and Defender, bless us gladly we lay down our lives for thee!’”
(Sergey Petrovich Melgounov: The Red Terror in Russia. First German edition 1924. London-Toronto: J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd., 1926.)
Such is what socialism promises to mankind. Think how degraded Russia is even now that they obey V. Putin. The best people were killed in the old days, and still they are murdered in Russia — Navalny, Politkovskaya, Litvinenko. In Ukraine the people stood up and sent the murderers and thieves packing. Back to Moscow they fled. Only now they return with armies and missiles to punish Ukraine with daily atrocities. Over 120,000 war crimes have been documented. I cannot in my conscience understand those who think it unwise or immoral to support Ukraine.
ВАЛЕНТИНА ЧЕРНЮК, you did not hurt my feelings. You insulted my Church, the Church founded on the Rock of Peter. I do not feel sorry for you that you now feel constrained not to share all your thoughts freely here. There are plenty of thoughts I refrain from sharing, here and elsewhere, out of Christian charity, or its simple secular or natural corollary, civility.
You are so much better the me.
As for the perfidious manipulations and mind-games imposed on us by the communists (which includes communists muddying the waters by deceptively posing as “conservatives”), I just went back to the David Horowitz/Ronald Radosh attack, ten years ago, on Diana West’s immense book, American Betrayal: The Secret Assault On Our Nation’s Character (Jeff Nyquist wrote about this abomination in an article of April 27, 2014, titled, In Defense of Diana West, still to be found on his old website, jrnyquist.com). And so I came across this talk by Mrs. West of Oct. 18, 2016: “Where Did ‘Politically Correct’ Come From and What Is It Doing?” The talk is a treasure:
Jeff, not sure if you can comment, according to SuspiciousObserver (Ben Davidson), the Grand Solar Minimum is about to begin, also a Russian Climate Scientist by the name of Andrei Fedotov had this to say on a Moscow times interview last year in October:
“Warming is about to end. And the cause is not humans, but the interplay between the Sun and Earth. Currently, we are in a favorable period, but we will inevitably transition to an unfavorable [cold] one … around 2030-2035.”

Also are you interested on doing a joint panel/interview with people who are talking about the GSM such as:
1. Diamond (David Mauriello)
2. Adapt2030 (David DuByne)
3. SuspiciousObserver (Ben Davidson)
4. Hugh Simpson
I have also forgot to add:
5. David Dilley who formerly worked for the NOAA
That’s an interesting fellow, David Dilley.
Don’t forget the solar micronova, flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes, freezing cold, things falling from the sky, massive lightning strikes, extinctions, new species, and the possibility of either the planet tipping over (moon orbit disturbed?) or stopping and spinning the other way. Sounds like the contents of Roland Emmerich’s next disaster film.

Great idea for a program. I should call David DuByne and see about it. Will call him right now.
Wanted to add about the NKVD Katyn Forrest massacre – this link is to a documentary, which seems like one of the most accurate about the whole atrocity, lot of authentic footage in it. It is for the younger generations to watch, because it depicts the extensive evil Russian Bolsheviks inflicted on Polish military, and the reason is obvious – they were afraid that Catholic Poland would run them over after the War – WW2, if they try to take over Poland.
The documentary even depicts the evil role of Churchill in it, and also how the Polish PM (before he was killed {possibly murdered by NKVD} in plane crash in Gibraltar) Gen. Sikorsky brought it to Stalin’s attention and brushed off, of course, as the Bolsheviks were trying to blame Nazis for it, it is shown in the documentary also.
Russians somewhat “apologized” by Gorbachov, but that has to be viewed as part of the Perestroika fraud, not as their sincerity, they haven’t done anything else, just empty words as usual.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2djnWw751s
It is worth watching, historical facts in it. Don’t know the author or anything about them, but it all seems accurate.
Churchill was in a war with Hitler and aligned with Stalin. At the time he did not want to believe the Katyn massacre was the doing of his ally. But his cabinet forced him to accept it, though they agreed to cover it up because such news could demoralize the Allied cause. So they blamed the Germans, especially at Nuremberg. And that was not right, of course.
Hi Jeff,
I bought the book that Victor Kulish wrote (Hierarchic Electrodynamics and Free Electron Lasers: Concepts, Calculations, and Practical Application) after hearing you speak about it on a podcast. Very interesting…mostly over my head.
I believe I heard you mention that he heard the audible voice of God (telling him not to work on a specific project) during his work for the Soviets to create a specific weapon. Would you be able to share where I can find this story? I have not seen it in this book and cannot find it online anywhere but maybe I am missing it.
Thank you for all your writing and interviews!
The story you refer to was told to me by Kulish. It does not exist in any books.
Mr. Nyquist:
So, you hold that Ratzinger and Wojtyla were agents of the communist bloc? Is there any defense that could be offered for their actions? Can you expand on the diabolical idiocy of Ratzinger’s book? I have not read it.
————
Please, do NOT read the book, do NOT buy it, it is truly the work of the devil !
The head of a man has certain set and unchangeable size, and if one would remember everything which the person read, including this horrible book of Ratzinger, and that about 15 years ago, the size of his head would have to be considerably increased, which is physically impossible and contrary to Natural Law. (there is no excuse for any excuses).
Ratzinger said that the truth changes with times and it is by becoming – this is truly diabolical and heretical. There were quotes about how he helped to shape the new church and policies that need to guide the reforms and so on. No wonder the book is not available online to read. Ratzinger wrote something that was not really Catholic theology, but in truth direct Communist Manifesto against the Church.
And his connections to Wojtyla and how they were in it together from the beginning, and when Ratzinger was the so called “theologian” while the heretical changes were being implemented, he was one of the most important architects of this new non-Catholic religion.
His visit and friendliness with Castro in that AP video, that is very telling, as no true Pope would have ever done something like this. https://youtu.be/e548EiTc8pA
Wojtyla had the KGB agent Arafat (and Castro also) in the Vatican, and Arafat not once
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfd14p
Wojtyla kissed the Muslim Koran in public, which is act of public apostasy, and excommunicable offense, Wojtyla did it for the purpose to cause disillusionment among those who claim to be Catholic. He’s paying for all and much more he has done evil, in Hell, no, he is not a “saint” and the Novus Ordo Sect has no authority to declare Saints in the first place.
The book was chilling, truly in the physical sense of the human body, and very VERY stressful to read, full of demagoguery, heretical inventions and written by a completely misappropriated mind (if this can be said this way to express it).
If this was written during the middle ages inquisition, and Ratzinger didn’t reject it, they would have tied him up against a pole in the middle of the town square and lit the torch and burn him as the devil’s servant.
Wojtyla was able to travel back and forth from communist (Russian) controlled Poland to Rome, and his obvious role in the Perestroika fraud, he was in it with Gorbachov.
Golitsyn speaks about the attempt on Wojtyla’s life by that Turkish man that it was not the KGB, and it seems plausible and makes sense – why would they attempt to kill one who was their main ally in the fraud ?

—————-
The 1987 quote from Gorbachov is the guiding principle – no let up on the war against religion – that should have been the guiding principle for Wojtyla and Ratzinger to reject ANY advances of Gorbachov, Castro etc. towards the Vatican and any visits of these communists. They did the opposite and helped the communist cause.
Just a comment here: There is a detailed investigation of Memhet Ali Agca, who tried to assassinate the Pope in 1981. It appears Agca was involved with Bulgarian intelligence through Bulgarian criminal networks. The investigation on this is in Clare Sterling’s book, “Time of the Assassins,” which I have read and you ought to read as well. It is a brilliant book. The Italian police investigation of the shooting also affirmed that the communist bloc was behind the assassination attempt. Why they tried to kill the Pope is another question. We don’t know. The fact is, Agca was in Bulgaria after escaping from prison in Turkey. He was paid, armed, and sent to shoot the Pope. How to explain this? I think you have to be careful in saying the Pope was not shot by someone paid by the communist bloc. This question is very complicated, and communist actions are especially complicated. You may be right about certain theological pronouncements. I do not know. But the Bulgarians would have never undertaken such an assassination without an order from Moscow. That’s my opinion, of course.
M-r Nyquist, what do you think about killing of Navalny? Wasn’t he a controlled opposition of FSB? It is known that all enemies of Putin inside Russia are controlled opposition, then why Navalny was killed? Probably killed by GRU which is a competitor of FSB/SVR?
Controlled opposition does exist, but we have no rational or evidential basis for saying “all enemies of Putin inside Russia are controlled opposition.” This is not a statement we should make. And I certainly do not believe any such thing. Putin has had many enemies who were not “controlled opposition,” from Alexander Litvinenko and Anna Politkovskaya to Boris Berezovsky and Mikhail Kordorkovsky. The two oligarchs started out being agents of the system, but they broke off from the system and opposed the Kremlin. All but the latter name were murdered. People are very difficult to control. If Navalny was controlled opposition, why was he poisoned with a nerve agent? That makes no sense. And why did Navalny then prove that the FSB poisoned him by hoaxing a phone call to one of those who participated in the assassination, extracting a confession that was recorded? It is quite clear in retrospect: Navalny was not false opposition, whatever we may think of him otherwise. He is dead now, and I think his death pretty much shows he was the real deal.
ВАЛЕНТИНА ЧЕРНЮК: “Maybe Bella just focused on the gospel of Christ, while she thought of herself as being Catholic?” Jeff’s suggestion that you educate yourself on Bella Dodd’s story is a good one. The above speculation is nonsense.
The existence of bad men in the visible structure of the Church is right out of the Gospels: read the parable of the wheat and the tares, Matthew 13. It is, however, important to understand the meaning of the term “Church,” as been noted here. The Church is the Bride of Christ, without spot or stain. It is also “the pillar and foundation of the truth,” (columna et firmamentum veritatis), 1 Timothy 3:15. How can this be true, given what we see in her recent history? Well, perhaps a parable would be helpful. We Catholics refer to Holy Mother the Church. If we saw our own mother, defiled, violated and bleeding, lying in the street, would we fastidiously lift up our skirts and walk past her (I am reminded of another parable…) and repudiate her? To ask the question is to answer it. It is only by the supernatural sustaining power of the Holy Ghost that the Church has survived for two thousand years. The fact that occupants of the Seat of Peter and the hierarchy have worked to undermine the deposit of the Faith which it is their primary duty to protect and propagate does not mean that the deposit of the Faith has ceased to exist as an objective fact. And it is the duty of Catholics to cling to that deposit whatever the fury of the storms that lash the barque of Peter.
P.S. The comparison of the Catholic Church to communism is analogous to the comparison of Simon Peter to Simon Magus.
Dear Ma’am,
for the sake of your soul, here are 2 Canons of the valid 1917 Code of Canon Law, that contradict your assertion about the bad man IN THE CHURCH. This is an act of charity to inform you where you are wrong, in accordance with the Church Law.
Canon 188, point #4:
The office of a cleric becomes vacant by way of tacit resignation, by the force of law (ipso yure), and by the fact the act if consummated – committed (IPSO FACTO), without any declaration, if a cleric : Point #4: …has publicly defected from the Catholic Faith.
———-
Canon 2314:
Excommunication specially reserved to the Holy See Speciali Modo befall :
all apostates, schismatics and heretics – this is also IPSO FACTO and does not have to be declared.
——
Fr. Ratzinger who was never valid Pope, as excommunicated heretics cannot assemble validly and elect one of their own to the Papacy, he knew the 3rd Secret of Fatima, he even stated that he entails the life of a Christian (meaning it is extremely serious matter regarding danger to eternal salvation of the soul), and he remained silent about it and didn’t disclose any of it – WHY ?
Because it is about them, the abomination of desolation in the temple of God, the horrible Novus Ordo Sect with the Protestant ceremony first introduced by Luther, which is not valid Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which is the Tridentine Mass in Latin, valid Priest facing the altar and not the people with the table, as the Novus Ordo, showing them the re-enactment of the Last Supper, which is heresy.
Montini, who instituted this abomination, had invited 6 Protestant ministers to cooperate on this new ceremony, Montini had secret ties to the Kremlin behind Pius XII’s back, when Montini was Under-Secretary of State in the Vatican – Pius XII found out about it through Swedish contacts of the See, and threw Montini out of the Vatican.
https://oamoramaededeus.blogspot.com/2012/10/as-62-razoes-para-nao-assistir-missa.html (no association with this person)
So the KGB directorate, after long study how to destroy religion from within (Gramsci’s scheme) has decided to use the Protestant and other angles to force it upon the Catholic Church through the communist agent-sleepers inside the Vatican, Montini was one of them, Gen. Sejna even mentioned one of their agents inside the Vatican Secretariat of the State which fits Montini as a glove.
But the main damage was done in 1962 when Roncalli attempted to destroy the Sacrament of Holy Orders, so that the Apostolic Succession of the Church would be cut off and the Priesthood etc. destroyed. It is truly this serious and this analysis didn’t come overnight but took about 20 years of extensive study of Canon Law, Church Law and so on.
Bergoglio is just a layman and no Pope at all. He cannot be removed because he doesn’t have the clerical office from which they would remove him, and they cannot remove him as they are all outside the Catholic Church (excommunicated as apostate Sect) and don’t have any clerical office either, there is no Ecclesiastical judicial authority with them, which is the consequence (one of them) of the 3rd Secret of Fatima.
Dear Concerned: I appreciate your comment and I intend to spend some time reviewing its arguments. I don’t want to prolong the discussion here; I had a few points to make in rejoinder but have decided to leave it here for this public forum; I don’t want to impose on Jeff’s forbearance.
You have written forthrightly and in charity, and I thank you.
Jeff has asked us not to push ideas that will divide us. One of those ideas that divide are interpretations of the Bible by different denominations—which is the true church, which are the true teachings, who is a heretic, what does the Bible say about the future, etc. People take offense. On this blog, I have decided not to take offense even with what I strongly disagree, nor to engage with theological disputations.
The Bible is the bedrock of Christian theology/philosophy/religion. All denominations claim to follow its teachings. Therefore the way to avoid controversy and offense is to limit our discussion to direct quotes from the Bible, and recognize and avoid what are interpretations. The end result is that there is very little theology that we can discuss on this blog.
What even non-Christians on this blog can recognize and agree to is the modern secular infiltration into the churches, all denominations, documented as early as 1805. The documentation shows that that infiltration was well underway throughout Europe as early as 1820. The documentation shows that the secularists were joined by the communists in a big way after 1920. I don’t know a single denomination that doesn’t have a struggle with that secular/communist subversion, or at least touched by it.
Now I happen to read the Bible in its original languages—Hebrew and Aramaic for the Old Testament, Greek for the New. Some of the denominational interpretations are based on poor or even mistranslations from the original. But my response here is the general statement that some people here push ideas that I can’t find in the Bible, and then I don’t elaborate.
Some day I might be in a fox hole, joined on one side by a Roman Catholic, and the other side a Baptist or Lutheran who believes that the Pope is the anti-Christ and the Roman Catholic church a heretical organization, yet we’ll need to have each other’s back against a common enemy. In fact, we’re already there, though not yet physically. So on a blog that’s dedicated to that common enemy, let’s not push that which divides us.
Very good point, R.O.
I agree with your last sentence. I made a short response to Concerned with which I desired to conclude our exchange precisely because I didn’t want to distract from focus on the common enemy; for some reason it hasn’t posted, so I am wrapping up my end of that exchange right here.
WordPress evidently changed its chat protocols. It sent some comments to the spam filter. I am not sure why. It makes no sense. Maybe is that thread chain is too long? Because it posted later comments.
We all must hang together against the Marxists, or else…we shall all hang separately.
To borrow and tweak a phrase from Ben Franklin.
Communism/marxism is really nihilistic to the core.
I just finished reading (actually I listened to) C.S. Lewis’ “Abolition of Man” wherein he examines the modern tendency to question and uproot traditional values handed down to us over the millennia (what he calls “the Tao”) and warns of the consequences of a value-free society. Brought to mind RIchard Weaver’s thesis in “Ideas Have Consequences.”
It struck me that the “Abolition of Man” could just as easily have been written today in view of the relentless effort to uproot longstanding values like traditional marriage, the two genders, property rights, etc. C.S. Lewis would challenge the credentials of any such critics to question such “first principles.”
Lewis’s book is a good one.
C.S. Lewis’ intellect would tower over that of any of today’s Ivy League faculty.
I wonder if they would tolerate him if he were still around. He surely wouldn’t get past the DEI screening committees.
I should post this reminder. I used to get alerts when comments do not post because of more than two links. I do not get those and it’s visually hard to spot unless I go into a special back door and look. I often forget about this. So please limit links to two per post. It encumbers the page processing and the system tries to discourage it.
Another C.S. Lewis book that seems very relevant to today is his sci-fi novel “That Hideous Strength”.
Do you have an opinion on what is going on in Vietnam? Many people charged from corruption one woman sentenced to death. Are those bad guys or good guys?
Vietnam pretends to oppose China, but I have intelligence that the Vietnamese Politburo is full of Chinese agents. The same can be said for the other Southeast Asian socialist regimes that were formed after April 1975.
It is interesting when I examine how Sino-Vietnamese War was exactly like Sino-Soviet split. The VCP is full of Russian agents as their members lagely locate in the Armies. Vietnamese armies are fanatic towards Russian causes, and they have been the biggest cheerleaders for Russia in Ukraine War. In extension, Laos and Cambodia are client states of Vietnam, while the rest of ASEAN is under control of China through Vietnamese proxies.
I have talked to the colleagues in Japan who express extreme dissatisfaction against ruling elites of Japan (LDP, Komeito, Japan Communist Party) who have been compromised by China, North Korea and Vietnam for years. Many conservatives in the West hail Japan as the pure land of no immigration but this is wrong. Japan’s Imperial Family and top political elites are either having Korean blood or politically captured by North Korean agents through cults (Unification Church or Soka Gakkai). North Korea got nukes through the money sent from its Korean agents in Japan. Chinese elites have purchased almost all lands and everything in Japan, so they can dominate Japan at anytime since most Japanese companies have hidden Chinese control. Vietnam is at lesser level than China but higher than North Korea since Japan is running out of workers, so treacherous Japanese elites import Vietnamese communists in massive numbers. Crimes in Japan are getting rampant that you can pick any Japanese newspapers where crimes section will have more than 50% of Vietnamese names. At this rate, Vietnamese will form organized crimes to kick Yakuza out, and the global communists love using organized crimes for strategies. There are already massive Chinese and Vietnamese hamlets/villages across Japan for communist occupation. If you want to see the future of America under communists, just look at Japan!
I would keep in mind about Vietnam in a next few years as they’re likely emerging as a powerful communist to deliver One Clenched Fist agains the West.
It may surprise you, but the Chinese infiltration of Southeast Asia is massive and hidden.
Ho Chi Minh wasn’t really a Communist.
According to a friend of mine, who served as a Navy Seal then became a Chief on a nuclear submarine, told me that Ho Chi Minh asked the United States to help rid the country of corrupt government officials. The US declined, so he went to the Soviet Union for support.
Today, it’s not as if Vietnam pretends to not be Communist.
Hi Chi Minh was a communist. We were giving a lot of help to communists in the 1940s. Why wouldn’t he have his hand out? Somebody in DC knew better than to give him money. He was a mass murderer. Your Navy friend had a very poor understanding of Communism in Vietnam.
@Jeff Nyquist: I hope you raise the questions regarding Vietnam and Southeast Asia to Mr Lude Wang and other Chinese defectors. While we’re being occupied with Iran and Ukraine, the entire Southeast Asia is forgotten as their economic power is rising in prominent under Chinese control
How do you explain Vietnamese aggression against Democratic Kampuchea? Did not seem faked.
Is it possible that Pol Pot was the good guy and refused to play those deception games along with them?
https://www.unz.com/ishamir/pol-pot-revisited/
Pol Pot was stupid and giving the communists a bad name. He is literally defiant against them like Nicolae Ceaușescu.
The order to kill the communist dictator of Romania almost certainly came from Moscow. See Andrei Codrescu’s “The Hole in the Flag.” When they say to move right, you move right. If not, the communist bosses in Moscow and Beijing kill you.
He was not a good guy, but when the policy changes and you do not — they get rid of you.
@Jeff Nyquist: The Romanian dictator was similar to Tito of Yugoslavia. They were both praised by the West back in the days for maintaining their neutrality stance. Basically not listening to the global communists. The case of Pol Pot was exactly the same as he stopped listening to the Vietnamese communists who were ardently loyal to Moscow, and Soviets used to have a military naval base in Vietnam there until the fake collapse of USSR in 1991. Of course, the Chinese definitely did not like Pol Pot, who is reviving even the worse version of Maoism in Cambodia, while they and Vietnamese were about to initate the Long Deception plan with Moscow. China used Pol Pot as the perfect excuse for the deceptive Sino-Vietnamese War which the US was naively enough to invest into China and now later Vietnam. Basically, this was due to the Third Indochina War that China became an economic superpower today.
It was due to Nixon going to China. A stupid move which we shall pay dearly for.
Communists kill each other at times.
@JRNyquist: I didn’t get a chance to mention it in the comments section of the original post, but that conversation that you had a few weeks ago with Alex B. of Germany about Carl Jung, &c. was fascinating. I appreciated and I enjoyed how deep and far-ranging it was.
Thank you.
Of course.

Przede wszystkim USA odpowiadają za stworzenie tego czerwonego potwora oraz za jego intensywna hodowle. Przez wasz kraj, w dużym stopniu , moja ojczyzna tak wiele wycierpiała. Nie dość tego, USA przehandlowały nas i pół Europy za czapkę śliwek. Wiarygodność USA i tzw. Zachodu jest zerowa w oczach świadomych ludzi z Europy Wschodniej. Prawdopodobnie jesteśmy w momencie, kiedy Historia wystawi Wam za to słony rachunek. Pracowaliście na to w pocie czoła. Amen.
America is to blame for communism? I am to blame, as an American? I have done what I can against communism, but the communists are powerful here as in Eastern Europe. There are communists in every country, in most governments, in education and media — everywhere; and there is no specific nation to blame for it. The communists are an infection, a psychopathology, extending to every nation. America is no more free of communists than Poland or Ukraine.
I would like to share something that greatly impressed me. I do not know how I found it, maybe even here. It is about people, who were able to escape Holodomor and WW2 occupation in Ukraine and were led out by God to different places.
This text is about 20 pages long. Beginning might be difficult to read for some, but it’s easier when you start with the story that begins on second page with words “So, in my infirmity I’m going to share how the Lord has shown mercy to Russia.”
I think this story is important, because with hard times approaching us connection to God and ability to receive His guidance is crucial. (Which is actually always important to have.) Here you will read many examples of that.
Some people who read it were relieved. They finally saw that there was a way out of that horrible suffering that Ukrainian people went through.

Mr. Nyquist wrote:
So what you are saying is that ninety percent or more of the Catholic Church is not Catholic or the Church. Right? Because they accept and go along with the current Papacy. And if anyone in the Catholic Church goes against the Church, do they get kicked out? How does that work if Catholics denounced the Pope. Don’t they get denounced?
—————
These heretical changes which took place about 63 years ago, they caused many people to go along with them and thus they incurred the sentence of excommunication, as the Catholic Faith comes first and before anything else, and it is only and solely Catholic Tradition and cannot be changed, not even by a valid Pope, he has no such authority to change it and when someone like Roncalli attempted to change the Sacraments, including the Rite of Priestly Ordinations and Episcopal Consecration, which are protected by Council of Trent and cannot be changed at all, then Roncalli lost the Papacy and became heretic and excommunicated for that.
There are people today who claim to be Catholic and do not belong to the Catholic Church, and in their blindness and pride they don’t even realize that they are outside the Church and cannot be saved.
They are denounced by the constraints of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, Canon 2314, and so that is fully binding in conscience and if they reject it, they are heretics and outside the Church.
In regards to your assertion about Ratzinger quoting Hegel, as far as memory serves, he didn’t write anything against Hegel, but quoted him, and yes, Ratzinger even quoted the arch-heretic Luther and agreed on one or two points of theological doctrine with Luther, and excommunicated heretic, formerly monk in the Order of St. Augustine in Germany.
These changes were prepared long time before, and these enemies of the Church waited for their opportunity to bring them about, and when Pius XII died in 1968, they elected pro-communist Roncalli and that was it, and then the whole chain reaction began.
———–
In regards to your question about these people when they try to denounce the “Pope” – well, an election of a heretic or apostate is NULL, and so it is a horrible sin of heresy to recognize someone who is a heretic as the Pope, when the constraints of the Catholic Faith and the heresies this Novus Ordo Sect disseminates in their non-Catholic religion speak against it, it is manifestly and publicly visible and so those who go along with it and still call themselves Catholics are not Catholics and are outside the Catholic Church.
The safeguards are first and foremost regarding the integrity and purity of the Catholic religion, and none can change them, not even one who claims to be the Pope, as the Catholic Faith was revealed by God Himself and no man has authority to alter it in any way whatsoever – that’s why it is called Divine Deposit of Faith.
Now, if these people were truly Catholic and denounced real Pope, to whom they must be obedient in all matters of the Faith and Morals, and Church discipline and government, then yes, they would be excommunicated for schism and even for heresy – denial of the Authority of the real Sovereign Pontiff, but today, the situation is much much worse as these people do not belong with the Catholic Church from the beginning, they were born into a non-Catholic apostate Sect and are outside the Catholic Church.
And as it was said before, in their lack of humility and thus without the grace of God, they cannot be admitted into the Church and God will not help them to convert and become truly Catholic, which would be for the most of them for the first time in their lives if they converted. It is truly the work of the devil, the essence of the 3rd Secret of Fatima.
————-
Your opinion about Wojtyla being shot by Ali Agca as potential Bulgarian asset is an opinion and so is the one from that person and book you quoted, but the guiding principle is that Wojtyla, who was already excommunicated apostate and no longer Catholic, much less the valid Pope – which he never was in the first place, he had the duty towards God to teach the truth and warn the “Catholics” not to trust these “anti-communist revolutions” which were all of them complete Russian communist fraud and nothing else.
The Pope has no choice but the raise his voice when something so evil and in such a magnitude is being done by the atheistic communists or any other enemies of the Church, and Wojtyla did the exact opposite – he shook hands with then, and then went into Assisi and had inter-religious gathering and caused so much scandal, kissed the Muslim Koran and so on…he’s paying for it in Hell, they cannot absolve themselves from these sins of apostasy, and he would have to take all of it back if they were able to absolve themselves from it…
It is the work of the devil, none other could have pulled this off, but the devil through these trusted servants of his…and it is truly the pinnacle of all evils because it involves the salvation of souls – for these people that chance is terminated (so far, if they don’t learn the Catholic Faith and convert).
I heard a priest only last Sunday say that the Ukraine War was not a just war according to the Church’s just war doctrine. Apparnetly Ukraine has no right of self defense. If this is so, I do not understand this Just War. Must a country be perfect to defend itself against an almost perfect evil? I do not think there has ever been a perfect country, or a perfect way of fighting a war. But the right of a nation to self defense should be affirmed, right? And this Catholic priest, who is very sincere and conservative, said communism was not the cause of the Vietnam War. Communism was simply a label used for tribal animosities. In other words, there was no communist side in the Vietnam War, and therefore one side was not the declared enemies of the Faith. It’s a very strange argument for getting out of one’s responsible to side with the non-communists. But then, everyone is so misinformed, or so confused. In terms of moral judgments, I am taken aback by what I see around me. I had this problem in the Presbyterian Church. But the Catholic Church has it, too. And look at who the Pope is. One must conclude that there are few Christians and Catholics left, if such people are obligated to oppose communism. Where is the moral discernment of the clergy? If we have no right of self defense there will be no more Christians on the Earth; for that is the communist plan, whether we want to admit it or not. There is something wrong with an organization when its principles do not allow it self defense, or when it does not recognize its enemies. But then, this explains why its enemies have so easily taken it over. When you deny there is an enemy, you let him into the organization and then he ends up running it. For who will oppose him? Suppose I said that I am against eating? That would be a self-negating thing. So is a refusal to fight enemies. But to fight them, you must correctly identify them. This is what most people today cannot do. I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but we are watching an entire civilization commit suicide because the leaders of that civilization (politicians, clergy, intellectuals) are unable to tell friend from foe.
Pope Pius XII dies in 1958, the above is a typo.
To whom it may concern, here is a bit of a summary of what has become (and why) of the Roman Catholic church ever since 1958, when Pope Pius XII died:
