“No form of order, no reasonable legitimacy or legality can exist without protection and obedience. The protego ergo obligo is the cogito ergo sum of the state. A political theory which does not systematically become aware of this sentence remains an inadequate fragment. Hobbes designated this … as the true purpose of his Leviathan, to instill in man once again ‘the mutual relation between Protection and Obedience; human nature as well as divine right demands its inviolable observation.”
Carl Schmitt, The Concept of the Political
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made a speech to America’s generals and admirals yesterday. Many will congratulate him on this speech, despite its inconsistencies. The inconsistency was in his praise for the excellence of the U.S. military while excoriating the lamentable effects of feminism and political correctness (i.e., the Woke military). The U.S. military cannot be as excellent as he claims while having the problems he lists.
Of course, the speech was necessary, and the problems must be fixed if America hopes to survive. This speech is nothing short of a declaration of war against Woke ideology. It is a turn towards real military thinking, and masculine values. Good order and rank order have always been essential to national survival. Such ideas are not without danger, of course. In my book, Origins of the Fourth World War, I called this “the problem of the Archgeneral.” Are the people in charge worthy? Are they excellent in themselves? Are they honorable or dishonorable? In every system there is hierarchy, and the quality of the system depends on the quality of the upper ranks
Unfortunately, confusion reigns on the right. We need to have serious discussions to sort things out. James Lindsay has begun to talk about something he calls “the Woke right.” I would like to refine this idea, but few are prepared to do this seriously. In terms of trajectory, the right itself is problematic. All factions appear sunk in self-misunderstandings and ideological delusions. As a critique of the so-called “Woke Right,” James Lindsay is himself caught in certain misunderstandings. The term “Woke Right” may or may not be apt.
Who is James Lindsay? The Southern Poverty Law Center lists him as an “Anti-LGBTQ conspiracy propagandist.” Anyone who opposes the leftist utopia probably qualifies for this epithet. The Center claims that Lindsay “shares conspiracy theories about the supposed communist takeover of the world … promotes ‘groomer’ rhetoric against the LGBTQ community and spreads the ‘white genocide’ theory that Marxists want to eradicate the white race.”
It is worth pointing out that Lindsay has opposed support for Ukraine. He once joked, “So, boys and girls, that’s why we have to be good and send Ukraine another $100 billion to be laundered a every year; so George Floyd will fly around and visit all the little Russian kids and take their toys and redistribute them to the poor Ukrainian oligarchs on January sixthmas.”
This is not a thoughtful formulation, and lumps the Ukrainians with the communist side. Logically, it supposes Russia to be some kind of anti-communist formation. The problem here should be obvious. Vladimir Putin is still a Marxist-Leninist. He is trying to put the Soviet Union back together. Anyone who misses the fact of Russia’s alignment with all the world’s communist countries, or who thinks the “evil” West is the motherland of communism, has accepted one of the main premises of the Dark Enlightenment.
Lindsay’s theme is to associate part of the right with wokeness, and with National Socialism. He recently attacked Matt Walsh for using the term “friends and enemies,” which Lindsay says is a distinction essential for Nazis and communists. He points to Carl Schmitt’s book, The Concept of the Political, saying that this book is evil and anyone who quotes from it is committing a sin. It is evil because Schmitt eventually joined the Nazi Party, edited a Nazi magazine for lawyers, and did legal work for Hitler. Matt Walsh appeared quite dumbfounded at Lindsay’s attack, countering that he never mentioned Carl Schmitt’s book in his remarks. I suspect that Walsh has never read Schmitt, and I am certain James Lindsay never read Schmitt (or, if he did, he read with such hostility that he failed to appreciate its depth).
In the larger context of political philosophy and theory, one does not have to agree with Niccolo Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, Thomas Carlyle, Friedrich Nietzsche, or Carl Schmitt to see the value of their insights and larger questions. To dismiss thinkers of this caliber as “Nazis” or communist precursors, is a serious error. To work our way through the self-sabotaging ideologies of today’s so-called rightwing groups, one has to solve a number of puzzles which nobody so far has had any stomach for. There is, indeed, something self-defeating in the libertarian, conservative, paleo-conservative and neo-conservative brands. Here we have a basic problem. There is no philosophic spirit in these people. Very little curiosity. But there is ideological conviction. In the end, such convictions are always self-defeating because ideology is never about the truth. It is more often about things we would prefer to be true.
Ideological perspectives fail because they are not entirely honest. They are muddled. They are not entirely mistaken, either; but a single error in an ideology can destroy you. When everything crumbles because of false assumptions, you get this push for violent solutions. People think ideas have failed and they turn to the dark side. They attempt to use force where thought previously failed. And this simply makes matters worse. In my book on World War III, the Archgeneral character comes to wipe out everything and everyone he thinks is responsible for the destruction of America. My account of him is of a fictional future person who, logically, is born out of the failure of the pre-war dispensation. He is contemptuous of ideas, of the bourgeoisie, of the money power, of democracy, of ideology, of intellectuals and theories. He is organically authoritarian. He is a post-nuclear Napoleon, with all the drawbacks of the dictator type. I depict him as marrying his daughter to a Russian general. In other words, he has a peculiar relationship with his enemies. He is ambiguous in the way the alt-right is ambiguous. He is a natural target of future assassination attempts whose fate will determine whether there will be a return to liberty in America or not. In short, he is not altogether pleasant or ideal.
Readers often misunderstand this depiction, as if I were describing something I want to see happen. No. Nothing in my book is what I want to see. Political science necessarily brings us face-to-face with things we do not want to see. It is necessary to understand what is real, and what is false. And that is where Machiavelli comes into the picture. There are two ways to view Machiavelli. There is the Machiavelli of Leo Strauss and Olavo de Carvalho, which is Machiavelli as “teacher of evil.” There is also the Machiavelli of James Burnham, who is a “teacher of political reality” which must be understood if freedom is to prevail. If we examine Machiavelli’s writings carefully, we can find evidence of both types of Machiavelli; that is to say, Machiavelli is both a “teacher of evil” and a “teacher of political reality.” We must appreciate both.
The problem of the Archgeneral is the problem we are presently heading into. War Secretary Hegseth’s speech indicates a move toward discipline and rank order. It suggests a more masculine stance. The ethical commitments of this administration are, however, decidedly ambiguous. Things can continue in the right direction or completely derail. Hegseth has declared war on feminism, cross-dressing, and Critical Race Theory. While this declaration of war is a move in the right direction, the outcome may carry negative consequences depending on how things develop.
We watch and we pray.

Lindsay seems to understand more than most about Communists, but this push about “woke Right” is new to me. If he means that Russia is cultivating strains of Naziism and fascism amongst them he would be correct, however Walsh is the furthest thing from that, and merely quoting a term is not proof enough.
He of course, in my opinion, does not understand enough, even to the point where he uses their terms. We should never use leftist language and should try to clarify it and recharacterize it when possible. When he uses the term “struggle session” or Cultural Revolution. “Struggle sessions” are one-sided abuse and torture sessions for the purpose of breaking the individual’s spirit, and the “Cultural Revolution” was a widespread massacre of the old guard and old traditions, carried out by deranged and indoctrinated youth who tortured and murdered their teachers to death.
There is a great documentary by Hu Jie called “Though I Am Gone” about a woman murdered by her Red Guard pupils.

I am leery of those on the Right that talk explicitly about Communism and yet do not consider Russia evil; this is part of the “bargain” the Soviets do as part of the ideological bribing. Accepting their version of the approved ideology means you are able to name the enemy as Communists and criticize them vociferously, that is your payment, along with a full acknowledgement of all that they are currently doing in the world.
The price is that you must believe that Russia is somehow anti-Woke or anti-globalist, you must be soft towards fascism, and of course must accept that the Joos are ultimately at the top behind it all. Every ideology artificially created by the Russians has bargains encapsulated in them: things to attract you and to pay you off, and the things they get in return.
I wrote a piece about the history behind Alex Jones’ “globalist” term which has now become ubiquitous among the Right, even if in other terms. I was rather surprised to discover it emerged from a Canadian officer who began merging true Communist history with the new “banker / Rothschild / globalist” theme that would be built on over the years. The idea to investigate this came to me when watching a young Jones evangelize to a young Rogan. I wondered where Alex Jones got his theories from and lo and behold, he admitted himself that he got most of it from Gary Allen, that Jones was involved in and emerged from the “anti-UN / survivalist” mail order / newsletter networks of Willis Carto, and that those men got it from William Guy Carr. There could be others but those were the big ones. Another interesting fact is that when Carto’s empire collapsed, Jones took it over almost seamlessly, starting InfoWars. Almost like one taking over for the other.
I too would like to refine the history of how part of the Right was deceived. There’s a little more here if anyone is interested.
https://ideologicalhistory.wordpress.com/2025/09/28/the-hidden-thread-how-the-anti-globalist-ideology-may-have-been-engineered-to-divert-the-american-right/
Jones inherited Carto’s Empire? How do you mean? Literally? Or is this a figure of speech? Carto is one of the worst people in 20th century American publishing. I knew he went to Moscow after the fall of the USSR and he openly admitted they were supportive of him. I know this because I followed his activities and went to one of his events and asked him about his relationship to Moscow. I was researching the right’s links to Moscow long ago. He was very happy to tell on himself. I had suspected this was the case. I found Russian influence throughout these groups in the 1990s. It was one of my earliest discoveries about Russian penetration of the antisemites — my earliest investigations into what my reading suggested. The Birch Society was also infiltrated.
I meant it more figuratively, but wow that is very interesting. His operation seemed to me that it had to have foreign ties. That is fascinating that you already knew about him and his Russian ties, I believe we would possibly find the same or similar with some of the “key pieces” in this “anti-globalist” ideology, such as Gary Allen. The ones that wrote these kinds of seminal books which skillfully blend the true and the fake are the biggest red flags to me. It is very difficult to find foreign ties on William Carr, although he was a military officer, and one wonders if the Canadian government had been infiltrated to that level by the 50s already. The ones who explicitly use certain language and certain terms are the most suspicious in my opinion, and almost certainly have to have the assistance of a hidden hand somewhere, even if it is the lightest touch, because the specific words and terms the Russians want to inject into the target societies is incredibly important.
Nice piece. Yes, I had a reader here on this website praising Carr a couple years back. It’s just the most blockheaded nonsense. I did not hold back my critique. People who buy into this kind of thing deserve to be embarrassed. Is it really so difficult to tell this is nonsense? But then, you have to know some real history,
I do not blame them. The Right does not have the wealth of services that the Left does: think pieces, endless articles, documentaries, histories. To be a leftist is to have all of your talking points handed to you on a silver platter, to have the historical work done for you, reinforced, legends created, terminology polished.
I myself did not even know the through-line from Alex Jones to Carr until I began this research. I believe it is incumbent upon those who wish to open their eyes to do the historical work and I hope to help in some small part, just as you have done an incredible service to the nation in documenting the history of foreign involvement from the “former” Soviet Union to the current “non-communist” regime.
The globalist massonic clap trap is absolutely communist networking projection. Marxist political anthropology is all about organizing sanctuary societies, pseudo- cultural what not. It is quite open source conspiracy now out there that they do not hide like at McGill U or Columbia U. However for the plebe the disinformation is to project onto entities that simply the massons or a banker is incapable of fabricating intellectually in the first place. These are completely different classes of people, and to assign sovereign behavior in a merchant low caste would make a commoner in India laugh at your face, but not so in the west where we somehow have lost our bearings. Heck, the Catholic angel pantheon is a Hindu derivative put together by Zoroastrians. So, basically, conspiracy theorists are also subtly attacking their own cultural underpinnings that way while waving nationalist flags like newbies experts in patritotism and tradition with no clue about said traditions in the first place.
What is curious in this disinformation is that now and then some of it comes out cursorily “true”. You have communist billionaires, and the Curiel jewish bankers in Egypt in the 50s were also communists, but that did the jewish people no good there as they were expulsed by communists allied with muslim brotherhood after Israel shaped itself up. But one had to be reminded that even those communist banksters are not the top of the totem pole there, they are the bottom.
Marx was clear when he said the way to communism starts with capitalism. His diachronic pseudo-prophetic way of telling how it would go really was a synchronic structure of a world of socialists of different classes and castes, the lower one being the moneyed socialists, the mid caste being the Nazi warrior types and the upper caste being the Marxist-Leninist sovereign caste with an eye on all the false flag operations organizing. That Hitler surprised Stalin in an attack is typical behavior of the Warrior caste, being unpredictable, making friends enemies and enemies friends just like that. Mussolini’s self apointment as Duce indicates clearly he saw himself as a warrior servant class of the sovereign communist. He wanted to copy cat Lenin but his leftism was not popular in Italy, so, instead of rebuilding Italy as he should have done, he sold the Italians the Duce look while knowing it was a middle class socialism subservient to Marxist-Leninism and to the rhetoric joining all those three classes called materialsit dialectics.
America’s illiterates might think Hegseth as the Duce we need back when he might be subservient to a sovereign, but isn’t it strange we have nomidea who that sovereign is? America getting rid of King George is one thing, but disrespect of the sovereign as a thing happens to be exactly why people still look at us like crazy when we say there is a long range soviet plan. The downfall of the Soviets and Russia is the downfall of the lower castes of economy and military in their ranks, but certainly not the political shenanigans of manipulating the right into a subservient Duce role they can manipulate from there and from universities. Hegseth’s speech is not going to stop the rule of these Marxist accademics from adivising at the Pentagon and manipulating it all from there, because we simply have none, or if we do, they with Angleton have been pid pipper’d away as overstepping bounds or titles or caste that we do not belong with according to them despite the first amendment garrantying so.
I fear that Hegseth cannot make them obey.
Machiavelli reminds me of the Indo-European inherited Roman triple ideology of Zeus, Mars and Quirinus (Dumésile’s Destiny of the Warrior). To be a Lion or a Fox is the embodiment of either win by direct honorable duel or by the sin of trickery (sin for Mars and warrior) against the warrior oponent you seek to battle. However, the sovereign can use trickery or can ask a warrior to do battle against another sovereign, which is a sin for the warrior to wage a coup against a Brahmin class sovereign, even for another one or on the orders of another sovereign ruler. The sin of the sovereign is mental illness, lack of foresight and inability to strategize.
This is where people get confused. Acceptance of Biden’s senioity therefore was high treason. Granted a madness of King George is exactly what puts him at the sovereign level since that is the illness of the sovereign, it nevertheless is a sin and such ruler, while respected, should honestly be repented by making him step down.
Similarly, when Mussolini called himself Duce (Dux, Duke), this is the title of a military leader, not of a sovereign. So Mussolini sinned inherently by specifically mocking any form of sovereign Senate, King or religious leader, and instating instead a military form as leadership of Italy, Mars in the stead of Zeus.
Communists seem to even go further, because the hammer and sickle represent the lower class of Quirinus of the merchants/producers and doctors, and those were put there to replace the Tsar and Russian legislature that the Tsar had agreed upon to establish. The Tsar was of course betrayed by this impotent legislature in part, apparently, much like when Hitler took over the Reischtag like a bandit. Later, of course, the more Mars like Bolsheviks took over completely and crushed the Mensheviks and Trotzkists etc. This being said, unlike the disorganized more genuine warrior types like the Anarchists, Lenin seemed to have adopted a more sovereign Machiavellian role of his own, or at least he followed a plan with a discipline and method that was less subject to the passions and sudden switches of sides that the warrior types do in anarchist fashion.
To me it is clear Lenin must not have acted alone but there was some kind of sovereign type, cold and calculating, who applied a science of some sort. In fact, Karl Marx’s diachronic steps to communism as “scientific true socialism”, starting with capitalism and followed by socialism, reflects a more synchronic state of communism where capitalism morphing into monopolism is one of the “non scientific” forms of socialism, that of Quirinus alone, and thus incomplete unless it is coordinated with its fascistic socialist military counterpart and final sovereign “scientific” communism/Marxism. However, under this Marxist-Leninism, all these 3 “ideologies” are in a state of sin. The sovereign there are the “crazy people” Suvorov talked about, the Russian-Soviet army is notorious for its looting, cowardice and propensity to mock sovereignty (the Wagner rebellion against Putin not being mistaken but actual feature) and the Oligarchs are notoriously corrupting and not concerned with the overall health of the workers.
One sees this pattern in the Planet of the Apes. It is in fact instructive of the derth of philosophical understanding of the situation by the right when I hear right wingers tell me that the Gorrillas are black, Orangutans are the whites and chimps are the asians. The emphasis there is racial, IQ, what not., when it really should be ideological, where the gorrillas are the warriors, Orangutans the sovereign politicians and the Chimps are the doctors of Quirinus, although some have priest like sovereing function, I do not recall. Humans of course are the untouchable, or even lower since they basically are slaves and part of the harvest under Quirinus’ charge.
Ok, so, what to make of situation and speech of Hegseth. Well, indeed, there is possibility that the arch-general come of age there, this sort of military leader like Ceasar whose dream of sleeping with his mother is heralded as a good (but sinful!) omen for him to cross the Rubicon and successfully take over Rome and decapitate the Senate sovereignty and what not there. JD Vans also strikes me as a knucklehead of the same type.
This being said, one cannot deny that the previous admin has started this division in the military, by corrupting it and basically let the merchant Quirinus types of setting up shop there so they could sell to soldiers sex change cosmetic and hormonal packages. Let us not remember that just as a warrior is guilty of taking over sovereign caste position and not only usurp but mock sovereignty as a concept, the merchant class too can politically correctly or discretely decapitate a sovereign’s potency and mental sanity with corruption as well as weaken the arms of a warrior that way, humiliating the nation.
This is disgusting. On the one hand we can clearly see a communist division dialectics of classes and castes there, pitting a drama of Mars vs Quirinus, Qurinus vs Zeus, Mars vs Zeus etc…. And this has also been practiced in local courts where laziness, in intellect by judges, in courage by cops and in humbleness by the businesses/wives hell bent on corruption, has caused or allowed communist lawyers to play prosecution when they represent a client, judges behaving more like counsel for a defendant in preferential treatment and cops as social workers, or whatever salad that results in that pervasive state of cowardice and corruption in castrated courts.
The country is in utter chaos or near it. Trump meanwhile acts more like a Carthagene in Rome, seemingly imitating Tarquinius, co-ruling with his family and friends cotery in peculiar manner that too is a bit off hand. Liberals (the communist manipulated usurping Quirinus branch, some of which embracing communism even without knowing what they really are getting into other than seeking corporate monopoly) accuse Trump of fascism in hypocrite PC manner, a subtle insult to our armed forces, all the while they themselves corrupt and subvert functions that they should never have a hand in.
Definitely the arm forces need to be cleaned up of this diversion of tax money from troop training and protection and into generals who now have positions running the business of fashion and diversity good look “ uniformity” distribution in the force – pretty much taking also over the ethnic identity and image of the military and diluting it into a role of optics keeping.
The trap the communists have set of course is potential violation of the 3rd amendment and posse comitatus. Let us not forget that, unlike Jacobin France where the three castes are concentrated and allowed only in Paris while the rest of France are slaves and serfs with no freedom of speech or thought respected, the US first three amendments are to benefit all Americans and reflect Speech for sovereign, Bearing arms for the warrior class and freedom from real estates of the economy from being taken quarter by troops. Of course it seems the 3rd amendment is now abused whereby businesses have clearly taken quarters in our military to ridiculous levels, and we will not even talk of lobbyists and business religions having permanent quarters in congress.
This is no accident, the communists designed it that way, but the irresponsible American people embraced it and allowed it, and even accelerated it in the case of liberals. Because what is eggregious and dishonorable is the political resentment going with it. Even a warrior, decapitated, can repent to a sovereign and give back his strength thus through his blood being spilled, so as to reconstitute a military leadership. But these merchant types who feel they can hurt no one seem to never repent and they keep doing what they do of corrupting with zero of the shame that a warrior would express if found acting as a coward not backing another warrior or avoiding a fight and used cunning instead.
Truly is unnerving how people have lost their bearings. Even Hegseth seemed to struggle and at pain of persuading his audience because he ironically is not as armed and cognisant as the ones who undermine the military perfectly know how they are making it sin, know how it can further sin, and would manipulate or provoke it into further sin more easily thus.
On a more precise note, the first amendment does englobe sovereignty by restraining the establishment of religion and monarchy (by extension), while speech itself ties in all three amendments of sovereignty, bearing arms and economic integrity.
The problem in the US is that the rejection of the King of England and Monarchy had resulted in the people’s own neglect and despise of any sovereignty, disrespecting the King himself and his function. It is one thing to restrict it in government, it is another to generally sneer at the notion of sovereignty altogether, wherever it may exist. I believe antisemitic rumblings of late from the right (a warrior slant) and obviously from the left (but there as a liberal merchant slant with zero shame) has to do with this sort of puritan suspicion for the sovereign. God Himself is also paid lip service to. This passive waiting for a second coming of Christ instead of the Christians prepositioning themselves to increase Him and to undertake the wisdom of the Founders as an opprtunity to do so, being engaged in fulfilling it and defending it politically, has been ridiculous stuff of sheep-slaves, unashamed in sinful passivity of empty praise and unincreasing worship while the enemy is taking active measures. A hand out to the church on Sunday is not exactly the mission.
I will not even go much into the inane scriptural interpretations of sin. For instance, Jesus does punish Mary Magdalene from her ambitions, and the sin of the stone throwers was hypocrite cowardice of taking over her business altogether (prostitutes also were psychologists and had a hand in figuring the health issues of the sovereign, ironically). Cain the same, his job failing at the Quirinus level, the lower caste where Abel was successful, kills his brother out of cowardice when he should have been restrained, knowing he could offer himself as a warrior class blood of own offering to God, but he refused. Which is why he is to wander alone, often the punishment or curse of warriors who failed or who are distrusted because unstable. Suffice to say, a lot of people are out there doing things or taking roles in woke fashion that they are not supposed to usurp, while others are not doing what they are supposed to do. I think this is why Nietsche said that God is dead. He truly is dead in this or to this population.
Really excellent episode of Friends and Enemies, Thank you!
Jeff, I am curious about your opinion. This Western mouthpiece went to Moscow to bolster Russia’s image. He seems to have been treated very well. There is another YouTuber named Sabbatical who went to Russia and was thrown in prison. We know that they monitor everyone who comes in to the country. I just found it interesting the two women he interacts with, especially the second one. What are the odds that she is a handler assigned to him? Someone straight up mentions it in the comments, after you wade through all the other propaganda ones.
It is likely.
There are others that he meets with. One American woman who of course praises the city and its architecture, one man who is literally called a “communist” by his friend. All of them seem incredibly confident without any fear, not a care in the world, visiting the nicest places. I wonder what the common thread line or unifying organizing principle is among them.
Contrast that with the treatment of a traveling YouTuber named Tommy who runs the channel Sabbatical. He was thrown into prison in Russia and almost didn’t make it out. In one instance, he recounts where the FSB took him in a SUV and threatens his life. You can tell he is not affiliated with anyone and has no ideological allegiance; he is extremely gifted with languages and has a natural curiosity for the world, in other words exactly the kind of guy these totalitarians can’t buy off like those other preening mouthpieces. I have never done a deep dive on YouTubers, but it makes me wonder that there must be some kind of organized campaign to cultivate young Westerners for pro-Russian views and propaganda, possibly even irrespective of ideology.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pZzXEJ3bcw4
From what I could reason, in Russia the fear is from the possibility that you may be caught, but in North Korea and China dissent is dealt with immediately, there is no leniency, or slack to speak of. In the end all dissenters are squashed, it’s just that in Russia they seem let out a little slack on the line, to see where it goes. This is why people will have second thoughts when they see that YouTube video. Where are the videos outside of Moscow? How about interviews with workers of the copper and asbestos mines?
I wonder if Jeff has a term for this type of YouTube persuasive confusion. Also, curious when his new book will be out about the UAV stuff.
North Korea is a different category from China and Russia I think. After Otto Warmbier’s torture and murder, I doubt if any school “trips are still occurring there. People still visit China, although the anti-American hostility has grown. In descending order, I would probably imagine NK, then Russia, then China, in terms of danger of arbitrary imprisonment. China was presented as the “friendly face” in the false binary of Russia bad / China good, and so I think they are probably more careful, especially considering they are still milking the US economically.
The UAP study is evolving so rapidly it is hard to keep up.
She is there to rat on him the minute he becomes disillusioned. Who knows, she might sweet talk him into joining the meat grinder once his useful idiot (or “sht eating” as the soviets called it) phase is done and he is satiated with propaganda crap. She probably is feeding him this.
When I was younger I helped a manipulative ambitious female at work rise in the rank like this at my expense, and she kept feeding me this “sht” I kept eating up being naive, until whatever my head could still accept my body could not and I started convulsing and vomitting by the constant feed of nonsense and requested attention, realizing a bit late I was being plaid by a narcissist and being fed a bunch of generic nonsense. I did not even do it because I was emotionaliy infatuated with her because she gave very professional serious signs unlike the other “bimbos” around, I did it because I thought it was fair and chivalrous to help someone overcome overtly narcissistic upper echelons of the corporations. Well, turns out out she was just as much of a scammer or worse than those she attacked, because she was a hysterical and all bimbo in reality, just putting on a front like that medical device scammer.
My case is rather sociologically typical. Young men grow by having to confront various demons in life and overcoming them or identifying them without parental guidance, on their own, making their own mistakes. I cannot imagine being in this guy’s situation tailed by this bimbo looking up to the Moscow trash version of the Bizantine vertical of power play for women. But most of these narcissistic youtubers get fluffled up on their own and by their own selves and ideas without even help of the KGB. They then autofeed themselves and their viewers similar “sht”
Basically unconsciously he did not leave the western media made of the lowest merchant class of craven loser Marxists, he sought out an upgrade as a warrior class in Russia while the KGB keeps the sovereign Marxist class cards close to their chest fo manipulate this kind of ex military loser looking for a daddy Hitler makeover. Disgusting individual, a coward pretending he leaves the media when he is looking for a class upgrade.
Only made it into the first two minutes of this “documentary”, but it seems yet another idiot has found his “promised land” …
Even there, he is using positioning of two opposites: “the evil Western media has maligned Russia, but look at it for yourself on this carefully laundered tour I am allowed to have!”
And then all of his dialogue is peppered with that same theme, and the “friends” he meets all echo the same theme. “Oh yes, it’s safer than the UK.” You mean the UK that the KGB flooded with foreign nationals and then they dismantled the crime laws? We see then another positioning of alleged “opposites”. Quite interesting.
Yes. They make the West stink, then beat their chests.
lol
“Unfortunately, confusion reigns on the right. We need to have serious discussions to sort things out. “James Lindsay has begun to talk about something he calls “the Woke right.” I would like to refine this idea, but few are prepared to do this seriously. In terms of trajectory, the right itself is problematic. All factions appear sunk in self-misunderstandings and ideological delusions. As a critique of the so-called “Woke Right,” James Lindsay is himself caught in certain misunderstandings. The term “Woke Right” may or may not be apt.”
Thank you for your timely essay Mr. Nyquist.
As described by James Lindsay is the Woke Right concept a useful, helpful tool for waging war against Communists? Can the Woke Right concept be refined to make it a more formidable weapon against our foes?

Further reading on what happened to Hong Kong after 1997, the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ and the CCP moved a large number of people from Mainland China to Hong Kong to the point where Hong Kong people cannot access social security and also employment, key government positions which were once for Hong Kong people and now Hong Kong people also see the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ are pretty much the CCP due to both of them moving a large number of people from Mainland China which has now resulted on Hong Kong people losing access to healthcare, social security and employment, even discussing this openly on the internet will get the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ people calling the person who discusses the mainland invasion of Hong Kong as a ‘racist’

Looks like a communist takeover.
Alex, what do you make of Putin’s supposed microphone leak to Xi discussing organ transplants and prolonguing life? Aside the obvious typical modern russian gopnik cowardice inherent to these kinds of discussions, I am wondering if he is doing a poison song to Xi and pushing him into a coward’s corner with the gopnik bunch loitering. Putin being a low level convenience store type loiterer type might very well be, but Xi?
I am wondering if it is not a KGB ploy by Putin to assert intellectual dominance and order of battle over Xi. Putin’s army right now looks like garbage compared to Xi, and so I find it ironic he would relegate Xi to the role of “transplantable organ” or warrior class in the Indo European manner of concepts.
I would be annoyed by Putin’s presumptuous patronizing is I were Xi, ie. on my guards where Bush and Trump seem to never be on their guard with this snake.
Have the Chinese and Chinese communist become so illiterate to be plaid like this? Marxism is rot indeed. History has shown that turning Hitler into a Bezerker was a doube edged sword. It seems Putin is hoping to turn China into such beserker. It is interesting, because despite the commerce front face of China, it might not be as sovereign as Mao these days. Its only higher rank is thus Nazi like beserker.
So it looks to me like the fake democracy in Hong Kong might be more of a KGB styled operation for or by the MSS, implicating Russian involvement there. I am not sure. China doing a full blown crack down would be a bezerker move, which ironically, after Tienanmen, was encouraged or ignored by that corrupt Bush Sr. What madness to let this happen without a peep of caution. Clinton’s behavior with China was also recklessly encouraging, and not just in the commercial sphere, but in the militarist ideological one.
Maybe it was the discussion between two idiots or meant for the plebes and peasants, but I find it not innocuous.

What is interesting to note on the chinese third world angle is that the capacity to be propagandized is what these Marxist target, and which is why they flirt with muslims a lot and try to reconvert them, from old Mohammedan sht to new KGB lies sht, because they are susceptible to it. This is another method for another target population other than the current culling of the right by communist agents supporting Putin.
Wonderful!

“Für die Generäle und Admirale” (1. 10. 2025)
https://jrnyquistdeutsch.wordpress.com/2025/10/02/fur-die-generale-und-admirale/
Quickly done!
Right now, the time is coming for me to find out whether my “insider” sources are genuine or not.
According to them, Russia’s goal is to intimidate Europe and carry out hybrid attacks, not to start an open confrontation with NATO. Yet, one of them recently claimed that Trump wouldn’t mind giving Poland and Eastern Europe to Russia—so the contradiction is clear.
What makes me still take them seriously is that one of the speakers seems very honest and genuine, though he could be fed false information. He was also absolutely certain—100%—that Russia would attack Ukraine in 2022, saying the decision had already been made, and he insisted on it despite any doubters.
They’re now saying that “Putin” will soon resign—any time before the New Year or shortly after. That would be a major event, but I don’t think it would make much difference. Transnistria began under Gorbachev, the First Chechen War under Yeltsin. I don’t know how Russia can overcome its narcissistic tendencies, no matter who is the leader.
But as I said, the time is close when things will become very clear. I hope))
This resignation rumor is very curious.
What would be the point of Putin resigning? What would be the point of the hybrid warfare? Did they share that with you?
That’s a very good question. But first I have to correct, they are not my personal source they are in the open Russian language youtube segment. The only reason for Putin to resign is that he is not real Putin. I don’t want to go into the details of why yes and why no. It could be a very complicated game of misinformation. But this resignation, if it happens (or not), will shed some light on this topic.
The point of hybrid warfare is to shake Western world, to show helplessness of NATO, to break it down even. Russia is forever getting up from it’s knees. Always feeling humiliation due to its backwardness and wants to prove its worth by humiliating the West. Plus China comrades nudge it in that direction I think.
I have heard that there are several body doubles, that the real Putin never leaves Russia, that he is the one always 20 feet away at the long table, hyper paranoid. I just don’t see the point of him resigning unless the Soviets were going to do another “fake resignation / fake house cleaning” for the purpose of lulling the West into another aid deal and that seems unlikely. Personally, I think a lot of these “Putin resigning” stories are intended to project weakness to the West, “imminent collapse”, and lull them into a false sense of confidence, which is actually more alarming because it implies they are fully in control and stronger than appears, but I could be wrong.
Russia has its trick bag and they recycle their tricks.
Putin was always super paranoid. His real self would never come close to anyone. His right hand was shaking due to Parkinson’s, that’s why in all his meetings before the war and in the beginning of it he was firmly clutching the edge of the table with his right hand. He would look fat because of bullet-proof vest under his clothing. He was deteriorating so rapidly, that I am inclined to believe in his either death or extreme disability. And I also don’t believe in Russia becoming better and friendlier. It’s a shapeshifting monster with unchanging evil core.
Good description.
What you say may be true, but he looked strong in Alaska.
I meant more in the sense that it would be difficult for me to foresee them running the NEP play 3.0 again, because how many times are you going to run it? At a certain point you have to shift to kinetic action. But there is much that I may not understand, perhaps it would be a short version, perhaps they are waiting out Trump’s term, perhaps events in Europe are already quite ripe with the internal division; I meant it more in the sense that the only reason I would see them replacing Putin is to pull a “de-stalinization” face replace once more, and I wonder if they have the time for that. But anything is possible.
Yes, it would be a serious risk to run another NEP operation in the present context because the Liberty virus is now in the Russian language being expressed by Ukrainians who speak Russian and it would contaminate Russia in a way they might be expected to lose total control. I think a new NEP would backfire and I think the Kremlin leadership may know that. But nothing is off the table, and they are visible of very elaborate deceptions and maneuvers. I never expected their lies to succeed as long as they have, and to have captured so many right-of-center positions. There may be a permutation of the strategy that will work. We should be wary of all possible moves.
For one, I don’t think NEP 2.0 is over in Russia. You can still have businesses. Some remote regions greatly improved economically due to unprecedented influx of money earned by surviving soldiers or widows from war.
I don’t post everything the “insider” guys are saying, because it sounds really insane. But they do say that the good times are coming, that a better team is coming to power in Russia, so maybe “de-stalinisation” is on the horizon.
Yet the real reason to have Putin out (according to them) is for the fear of being found out that a double runs the country.
They keep saying that things will get very bad, before they become better, and advise to keep food and necessity storage.
And I agree with you that we know very little. If you miss one key fact, everything would have opposite meaning to what it really is.
I meant it more within the context of NEP as a tool of extracting capital and technology from the West, for purposes of rebuilding military and modernizing arms, as Lenin did, and then post-1989. It seems that the majority of the Western flow of capital and tech has stopped since the war, although we both know European stooges continue to send money their way. That is good to hear poorer regions have improved, I have heard that some of the spending in Russia is due to printing rubles, which is causing inflation, but it is hard to know if that is true. I also wonder if the “gas shortage” story is fully true or being exaggerated to project weakness and disarray. What exactly would the theory be behind fear of a double running things? That a higher ruling class disappeared the original Putin long ago? Or that he is somewhere else but still running things through his double?
I have a rather silly question for you if you are from Russia or thereabouts, which you can answer if you like: there is a girl here at 4:53 mark and 16:50 mark: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IEMZb82wD0k
Do you think either of them work for the government there and are assigned to give him a positive view? They seem unnaturally friendly with that useful idiot, especially the second one.
In 2019 there was talk within the defense ministry and the FSB that if the future proposed war fails then Putin can be blamed and they can pretend to move on, blaming Putin for everything. This point has been made behind the scenes. Yet the danger remains that they are all being dragged into a big war, step-by-step, without realizing that there is no turning back. Very hard to analyze this given the kind of institutional self-delusions or inner truisms that float around. It’s all very hard to interpret. I had a connection with a Russian diplomat who heard about this war plan that several years ago. He learned it from a friend who was very frightened by what he heard. Others in the Defense Ministry tried to downplay the danger by saying that Putin would definitely be removed from power if everything went awry. But this has not played out as they said back when it was under discussion. I am not a believer in the Putin imposter theories. These rumors have been around for years. Just not buying it. Of course he has doubles. All dictators do. Ambiguity is always a game they like to play.
The guy has 2,6 million subscribers to his Youtube channel. I think that not only was he assigned the girls, but that he was invited to come to Moscow in Tucker Carlson style and was paid a good amount of money for that and of course everybody around him was purposefully chosen for propaganda. No matter how poor Russia may become they would never cut expenses on propaganda.
Ukraine was methodically hitting on oil refineries. That’s where we believe shortage comes from. But you never know if it is some disinformation.
As for NEP and Western technologies I think Russia does not need them because their production quality is so low, that they would prefer to buy ready made stuff and China could provide them with what they need.
The insider guys say that Putin died from natural causes on October 26 2023, a few minutes after 8pm. His body is held in the fridge without proper funeral. The fear of elites about people learning of the double is that it might make people doubt authority, which is a big threat to authoritarian regime. What makes me doubt their messages is that sometimes they say that all world leaders, including Trump know that they are dealing with a double. At the same time Trump’s genuine joy of seeing Putin in Alaska, clapping hands and jumping out of his pants tells me he believed it was real Putin. Unless Trump is lazy to read intelligence reports on that. Lol.
And I am a ukrainian.
Ah ok, thank you for your insight. I found it interesting how he just happens to meet a student from Nigeria “studying to be a doctor”. One thing I wondered about was whether they actually give these puppets the actual words, because the language he used sounded very Russian propaganda like in its structure, positioning the premise before “debunking” it, using terms like “how Russia has been ‘portrayed’”. And part of me wonders how they get him to say the words, if it is as blatant as them handing a script or something subtler. If you’re right that he was paid, no doubt he was perhaps given a sheet of talking points portrayed as “debunking Western propaganda”. I just found it absurd how this Russian girl is head over heels for him and offering other girls etc.. Thank you for your insight, I am always fascinated at how they do these actual operations which 99% of people view on YouTube and think are organic.
I am curious also, do the Ukrainian people in general believe the 1989 collapse was faked by Soviet Communists, or is it a belief held by only a few there like you, assuming you believe that.
The whole video looks like a straightforward, undisguised propaganda piece.
Never ever does it come up anywhere, even with the most sophisticated ukrainian analysts that 1991 breakup was staged. The version discussed and believed is that USSR had run out of money. I am open to believe that it was staged, but it is still a bit unreal in my head. Especially with the coup in August of 1991. If all KGB people knew it, why did some of them revolted against it? I also don’t go too deep in these studies. My knowledge is too superficial.
@ Valentina
What do you remember of the 1991 referendum in which Ukraine voted to leave the USSR? Were people encouraged to vote a certain way? Did most Ukrainians want to leave the USSR back then, and if so why? Some people have pointed to this referendum as the true reason for the “breakup” of the Soviet Union. It’s not clear from Golitsyn’s writings if Ukraine leaving was part of the plan or if things spun out control for Moscow.
This is such an excellent question !
2 points – Moscow was playing the game and so even if this referendum was truly spontaneous they had to permit it to go forward because otherwise and at that time otherwise ! – it would raise a serious questions about the whole Perestroika fraud, which they couldn’t risk to go through – but they knew that they can always get Ukraine back, any time in the future when the time is ripe.
Secondly, KGB infiltration and control of the governments is not a small matter, and to expect that a fully communist country will practically overnight become honestly run government and people, that is an utopia…and hasn’t been done yet, not in the history of communism or any other totalitarian system,, it takes forever to get rid of all the sleeper cells and even if that gets done, they establish new one and take over the tasks of the strategy again, and in more sophisticated manner than before.
This is why the KGB etc. are so successful in this strategy of communist subversion, they are very flexible and don’t allow any loose ends to hamper the successful execution d their operations.
Top USSR officials thought Russian-speaking Ukrainians would vote to stay in the union, but they were mistaken. Every Republic agitated for independence. The Kremlin felt they controlled the Ukrainian Republic well enough to go along with “independence” — but even the Party apparatus enjoyed the independence from the point of view of self enrichment. The Brezhnev years produced an invisible weakening of the vertical of power. Only Stalin murderous discipline insured the obedience of the local power centers. After Stalin’s methods were set aside a gradual degeneration set in. They underestimated the danger of genuine independence. Now they have this Soviet Civil War.
Laura, I don’t remember political events of that time well, because I was focusing on my spiritual searching, but I think that 90% of Ukrainians voted to leave. And Gorbachov had also signed some document allowing republics to leave USSR even in 1990, a year before it started in fact happening.
Not only ukrainian analysts don’t mention the break-up of Soviet Union being staged, but russian as well. Even the anticommunist anti-Putin ones, the most outspoken, never mention it.
I want to read a book by Felshtinskiy “From Red Terror to Terrorist State”. There he describes a century long struggle for power between KGB and Communist party and how KGB had finally won. Communism is spreading in other countries, but in Russia you have just plundering bandits in power without any ideology.
The apartment bombings which Feshtinsky wrote about with Litvinenko would seem to be a key piece of evidence. Staged 10 years after the “collapse”, engineered to start the war, incite national fervor, boost Putin’s rise to power, and provide momentum for the consolidation of power back towards a centralized model.
Saraska’s book on the disappearance of the USSR is one of the best technical treatments of the question. She does not know about Golitsyn, but she shows many details that explain why things played out the way they did. The communists definitely orchestrated these political changes as a maneuver. But they fell on their faces at times. A KGB officer once told me he asked the head of the KGB about this, General Shebarshin, in 1992. Shebarshin admitted that mistakes had been made, but that the plan was still on track and viable. Then he wanted to know about all the banks the KGB controlled in Austria. “We need to move money into the West to buy positions,” he said.
So I think the break-up was planned, but it went messier than expected, with all the power struggles arising. And analysts don’t mention it, because they were so happy with newfound freedom, that it hurts to admit that they were following someones imposed blueprint. Or they just don’t read defector literature, and the informational space here is sterilised of any such “pre-planned break-up” ideas.
Valentinia: Yes. You are exactly right. It was planned but it turned out to be very messy. They lost control of the process in certain ways. People hated the communist system more than they expected. This created problems, Also, a small middle class began to form, and this constituted a class that was unacceptable to their domestic agenda. In Ukraine this class became the base of a revolutionary movement. In Russia they suppressed these people successfully.
There is an alternative strategy, discussed more than ten years ago by KGB generals in Moscow and Kiev, predicated on Putin’s death or removal. It involves a reversion to perestroika where Ukraine becomes a bridge to a new Strategic architecture for Europe. America would leave Europe under this alternate plan. They could switch to this.
Very interesting! Seems that Trump already started leaving Europe.
Talks about US forces leaving Europe are being scheduled for later this fall. This may cause Russia to delay or finesse their attack plans.
This is very interesting, have you written on this at all? Would this plan involve them taking Ukraine, or would it simply be the military pressure on Ukraine that forces their desired outcome vis a vis new negotiations, a new negotiated arrangement? It is interesting that you mention this as Michael Malice actually suggested this in his recent podcast with Winston Marshall; he said America could withdraw from NATO as part of a peace deal and that it was something George Conway/Galloway had mentioned that Trump would do. However, George was saying it within the context of fearmongering about Trump as a Russian asset. I did not like Malice from that point as he was almost promoting the idea, he was like “what the big deal? It’s just like Brexit and the EU, they still work together”, omitting the fact that this would obviously remove the obligation for the US to defend Europe. “There’s no big deal, we can still work with NATO”. Unfortunately this argument worked on Marshall in that moment.
He says it at the 28 minute mark here. Honestly embarrassing for an “anti-communist” to endorse this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a8AfixIQG3M
Yes. The Russians and even some Ukrainian generals have written about this possibility for many years. So we must watch for it.
I finally listened to Pete Hegseth’s entire Quantico speech of Sept. 30. It was indeed a whiff of fresh air!
Let us hope that the Administration will follow through on it, and let’s also hope & pray that the shadow forces of the “Dark Enlightenment” will lose their grip on the halls of power and that Trump & friends will not unleash (or give in to) a civil war.
Last but not least, there must be a true awakening as to the unchanged Soviet reality in the so-called Russian Federation – problem being, of course, that Trump would have to either fire or neutralise the pro-Moscow elements in his cabinet (which naturally includes the Vice President), whom he so mistakenly appointed, in the first place.
@The Contemplative Observer,
I just came here to post this article giving a potential, real reason for the mass meeting of generals: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/generals-gathered-in-their-masses/
Sounds plausible to me. The signs of war (and ultimately world war) are now all around us. Before long, everybody who isn’t practically and spiritually prepared will be overwhelmed …
With all the mobilizations, call-ups, border incursions and more, the news reads like August 1939. This is the closest the world has come to World War III. And it the present tensions may continue indefinitely until someone miscalculates or Russian launches a surprise attack in league with China and North Korea.
I certainly hope he can accomplish what he laid out. It’s a declaration of war on feminism. I hope he understands the hornet’s nest he has stirred up.
How many of these generals are secret communist agents, and how many of them are loyal to the US Constitution ? That is the question that many will not ask, because it is too too much of a problem to ask, too direct…but that is precisely what Moscow has worked on for decades, to infiltrate the enemy camp, and especially the military, law enforcement, justice and government agencies and system as such.
It is not possible to help people when they reject the truth that there was never any collapse of communism, nor any collapse of the Warsaw Pact Russian communist bloc, and that the whole fraud is KGB etc. run fraud that they needed for to put the enemy to sleep and to increase their espionage subversive communist operations…without being seen as the enemy, when these pathological lying communist criminals “promised” that they no longer continue their quest (or criminal ideological enterprise) to conquer the whole world.
Blind and deaf people will one day wake up in one of the Russian (Chinese, Venezuelan or whatever wherever else) Gulags and question their minds why they were so stupid and blind and didn’t see the truth that there can never be any trust given to such godless atheistic criminals as communists truly are.
It is useless to analyze why they did that, why communists are evil – and what leads them to is – there is a much simpler answer to this very easy question – the devil is their MASTER, and he rules them and he uses them to destroy the existing order and to make every human being into his slave…and communism is the devil’s work, his product that he will unleash upon this wicked world when the time comes for it, God permitting.
You have the case of the AG Bondi..and people are waking up that she is not charging the major players with the crimes they committed, and she’s not upholding justice – and Trump is only talking but there is nothing else done – and so the evident conclusion is that the whole situation means that when the government is friendly with the communist enemies, and that no communist spies and agents are being punished for participating in evidently KGB etc. (CPUSA, Democrat communist etc.) subversive ops, then the government is not on the side of justice but allows injustice to continue….and so the communist assets, long-term KGB assets and so on, they just walk free and remain protected….by the controlled opposition.
And more or less this is the worldwide situation, the slow but systemic communist subversion, Moscow in charge.
Because it is much worse to resist when your local sheriff and his department is penetrated by communist agents, as they hide the fact and use the cover of the law to impose on people the policies and ordinances and laws the government imposes, and when these policies are designed to further the communist cause, and when legitimate objections are made by the citizens, the law enforcement remains inactive and or looks the other way.
And this slow subversive game Moscow has designed is the most dangerous operations there is…because by the time people realize that something is seriously wrong and that even when the resist it by lawsuits, the court system is equally penetrated by communist agents and doesn’t uphold justice nor helps to amend the situation. And only those case are fixed when that case is used by the controlled opposition to collect personal and compromising data on people who get involved in resisting the communist scheme…and also those who help the “victim”…and the sign this is the case is how such fabricated cases are publicized…and the amount of publicity they get, and how any legitimate case of government injustice is set aside and never brought to the attention of the public.
This all predictable.
Bondi is a joke. She seems not at all alarmed or have the beads on the left or any infiltration. Shenis kicking the can down the streets with the usual leftoid language of “hate speech”. Who the heck is this person!? She is completely irrelevant to the dangerous situation at hand. What a joke.
No, she’s not a joke, she’s there for a very serious reason, only they would like people to believe that she’s a joke, but she’s not a stupid person and she was a Florida AG before, so she know how to handle various cases, but she betrayed the principle of justice already (Epstein, now she’s not charging anybody with the Trump situation either) – BTW, this is a serious situation in itself, in terms of justice, but they made it look like that the Russia connection of Trump was purposely discovered as a hoax so that nobody would question his bona fide and credibility with the real stuff (his KGB connections, 1987 Kremlin etc, the money from Russian nationals with KGB training and so on), so that when they made the hoax blow up, she’s not doing anything about the “guilty” and involved, which means she fails her judicial and law enforcement duties by not protecting the justice and allowing the evident criminals to escape.
They are of the same camp, only she’s not letting it out and so they do spread the notion that Trump should get rid of her as she is “incompetent” so that nobody would be saying that she is evidently in on it and knows very well what she’s doing, why she’s doing it and for whom she is doing it….fill in the blanks, it shouldn’t be that difficult. And the “hate speech” is a typical communist lingo, Trump picked the right person alright, only she’s right for the keep the status quo and prevent justice regarding communist assets (read KGB Kremlin assets) from being captured and prosecuted and potentially executed for treason.
And of course Trump will not do anything substantial about it, OR he will wait till the last moment as he did with Barr and then fire her (and make it look like she resigned) – so that it wouldn’t look that bad on her “resume” and then she will be employed in another post and do more damage there…
This is what the real communist subversion looks like, in real view, in reality.
This was a red flag about Bondi for me. Read it a little after Trump won the election last year.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/11/what_you_don_t_know_and_need_to_know_about_pam_bondi.html
They need to take control of strategic positions inside the government – and being the chief LE officer is most definitely one of their targets and always has been.
Wow, I had no idea. The Trayvon Martin hoax and malicious prosecution (persecution) of George Zimmerman was a cause celèbre to conservatives back then. Now the unethical AG responsible for that prosecution is appointed to national office by Trump, and no one makes a fuss. Hiring smart people of good character and strong ethics (“the best”) is no longer a priority for conservatives. Somehow that’s “winning”.
I thought pretty much the same when I read it last November.
This is the problem with Trump. Nothing is really as advertised.
What exactly is the proof that Trump is compromised by the Russians? What is the 1987 smoking gun? I can list many counter-examples of him being anti-Russia, but I would like to hear your cases, since you state it as fact.
No, not doing it again, you have to go back some months and read the posts back then and links to the articles, do your homework, it is all there.
Many people don’t believe it, many people reject it, so what’s the point presenting the facts and analysis about Trump when at the end people are still blind, don’t understand the KGB recruitment methods OR provoke conversations and so on. You have already stated some strange things before, so if you disagree, so be it, your free will, your choice, your consequences.
I fear Trump was politically inoculated by the Russia hoax.

Trump seems really keen on going after everyone involved in the Russia collusion investigation.
Not everyone, do NOT be deceived, it is so far only talk and delay and talk and delay. Until they are charged with treason (which Bondi will most likely not do) and communist subversion, all of it is a smoke screen (as they use this term, don’t know if it is fitting entirely now), but they cover up for one another.
Sen. McCarthy said in his book (pg.2)

QUOTE:
Before meeting Jim Forrestal (Sec. of the NAVY) I thought we were losing to international Communism because of incompetence and stupidity on the part of our planners. I mentioned that to Forrestal. I shall forever remember his answer. He said, “McCarthy, consistency has never been a mark of stupidity. If they were merely stupid they would occasionally make a mistake in our favor.” This phrase struck me so forcefully that I have often used it since. UNQUOTE
———–
Trump let Biden to take over the WH, the Congress certified evidently electoral fraud without any substantial investigation, no arrests yet and most likely there will not be any high level arrests like of Obama, Biden, Clinton (and of her husband too), and so on – Commey is just the scapegoat, so to satisfy the public and to make believe that she (Bondi) is on the job, and it would be a very surprising thing if she does anybody else and charges them with treason.
Communists are self-protecting self-preserving Mafia class people, and Moscow doesn’t allow its assets to be touched nor brought to justice, all of it is coordinated and very carefully…
A source said that when communists do something evil, they stand protected unless the Party decides and judges that it was evil, otherwise the old communist motto remains as their law – the ends justify the means….

Pope Pius IX condemned a proposition in 1863 AD or so, in his Syllabus of Errors (not quoting verbatim, would have to look it up…that would take forever):
QUOTE: The successful accomplishment of a matter brings with it no detriment to the right. UNQUOTE
That is a fully condemned proposition, but exactly what the communists allow and practice, it is part of their lives, very evil people.
——-
Until Bondi charges all the MAJOR players with treason and communist subversion and so on, all of this is a window dressing (as they say), protective measures to preserve the already accomplished success they have in deceiving the whole country that they are on the level and “most transparent” administration…
Yes, by the already perverted and downgraded “standards” it probably is, but not according to justice, because only true and fully administered justice judges whether the government is truly and honestly transparent or not, and there are no coincidence with communists, only their evil methods and strategy to accomplish their evil ends, nothing else, and the Center, the KGB Kremlin watching all their actions and deeds !
This theory doesn’t make any sense. Why would Trump rail so hard about everyone getting arrested then? According to your logic, that won’t happen and he’ll end up looking like a buffoon. Eminently implausible in my opinion.
Wouldn’t expect any other responses, but as it was mentioned before, we all have free will and God has all the consequences.
I understand that the case against Comey is legally weak. This practice of charging former officials with crimes is becoming standard practice in the USA. It will destroy freedom of speech and the collegiality of our Republican system if it continues. The Democrats are sure to use it when they get power after Trump fails.

Thanks for posting! I’ve been waiting for this.
Just Who IS James Lindsay?
James Lindsay’s Political & Religious Background:
https://newdiscourses.com/2025/05/woke-right-magas-new-atheists/
According to James Lindsay what is the WORK and the PURPOSE of the WOKE RIGHT?
“My essential claim is that the radical Woke Right is enacting a political coup of MAGA and the conservative movement in roughly three or four stages. These stages are:
(1) the consolidation of elite power to direct the Party;
(2) consolidation of MAGA under their rule and organization;
(3) seizing control of American and Western conservative politics from that Party base; and
(4) seizing control of American and Western political and economic power through that Party base.
My contention is that Phase 1 of this structured coup attempt has already been completed, and Phase 2 is well underway. The “MAGA Civil War” we’re presently experiencing is the result of the main body of MAGA having become aware of the problem as Phase 2 proceeds.
The main mechanism of conquest I present in this essay is something called “elitist capture,” which roughly follows a (Culturally Marxist) Gramscian model, based off the Western Marxist theory and practice of the Italian Antonio Gramsci in the early 20th century, which many elements of the Woke Right have explicitly embraced.”
https://newdiscourses.com/2025/05/the-woke-rights-elitist-coup-inside-the-maga-civil-war/
I read most of his piece, which is quite long. His meandering nature and lack of polish suggests to me that he is unaffiliated with larger groups but that is just an initial impression. He demonstrates an excellent understanding of Marxist cult structure, however as far as I can understand, the sole support for him asserting the existence of a “woke Right” is the claim that there is a group or individuals who control access to the President or control access to cocktail parties, invites, perks etc.. I am not joking, that is the basis upon which he compares them as “Woke”, merely the fact that Trump’s circle or his political larger circle is snooty or exclusive, and I assume didn’t invite him.
This seems like incredibly weak basis for a comparison, not to mention it’s a bad use of the term. As he dissects brilliantly, “woke” means Critical Consciousness, which of course is just the same old Marxist slop hogwash, which asserts the existence of a conspiracy and only the “truly awakened” can see this conspiracy. This is classic Marxist truth inversion, where the indoctrination and the brainwashing that Marx seeks to impose is presented as “raising consciousness”, and the original, un-indoctrinated state is presented as “false consciousness”, I.e. dumb, deceived people.
By utilizing this reversing of the truth, you can gain all of the intellectual and mental horsepower and firepower; all you need is for the initiate to simply accept the sole premise. Once the premise is accepted, an enormous wealth of co-conclusions follow mandatorily, such as the necessity of further indoctrinating oneself, the necessity to indoctrinate others, that one must prove their devotion by “action”, I.e. converting others. This is a classic self-replication mechanism which all religions have and which makes them powerful; Marx is brilliant at finding and knowing these critical Hinge Premises to focus on, which open the gates to a myriad of other downstream Conclusions.
It is remarkable that James seems to understand this with such clarity and yet, as far as I can tell, his sole reason for labeling a “woke Right” is that there are some who keep him out of the parties and guard access to MAGA political circles. I have not finished so there may be more. I also don’t know if he realizes that it is all a con; at some points it seems he thinks that Marx believed it. He diagnoses perfectly the tiers within the cult structure and how psychopaths rise to the top. Overall I think his writing is great for further understanding Marxism, but I don’t quite get the foundations for his claim of a “woke Right” taking over MAGA. Are they leftist? Are they corporate? Are they technocratic / tech-broligarchy? It is unclear to me.
Yes. It is a little unclear to me as well. The real danger in this is controlled opposition and scissors strategy. Very effective techniques if used under a coordinated plan. Communist strategy is more complex and sophisticated than most people realize, and it involves foreign intelligence services, Russian think tanks, advanced sociological concepts, agent networks under strict discipline. James seems unaware of these dimensions of the larger problem. He sees no Russian role from what i have read. Has he changed his thinking on this? I do not know. Trevor speaks highly of him. I need to ask if Trevor has brought this up to him.
Who ARE the WOKE RIGHT according to Ani OBrien?
https://aniobrien.substack.com/p/this-is-what-the-woke-right-is
jeffrey nyquist I’m Brazilian, sorry for my terrible English:
Are you going to open a course to teach how to be an analyst? Can KGB be efficient with so much corruption in Russia? Or is it the only institution that works there? Was the fall of the USSR a farce, including the communist revolt against Boris Yeltsin?
Allow me to interject. You appear to not have read the two books by premier Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn yet. Please, read them. They will give you the indispensable fundamentals:
(1) New Lies for Old: The Communist Strategy of Deception and Disinformation. New York: Dodd & Mead, 1984.
(https://archive.org/details/GolitsynAnatoleTheNewLiesForOldOnes/page/n1/mode/2up)
(2) The Perestroika Deception: The World’s Slide Towards the Second October Revolution. London-New York: Edward Harle Ltd., 1995.
(https://archive.org/details/AnatoliyGolitsyn/page/n1/mode/2up)
(3) And make sure you read Mr. Nyquist’s reference work, Origins of the Fourth World War. Chula Vista: Black Forest Press, 1998.
(https://archive.org/details/originsoffourthw0000nyqu/page/n1/mode/2up)
As absurd as most people think Golitsyn’s claims were, he was proven correct. History itself appears to be a badly written novel. People simply cannot accept the plot line and the motivation of the characters. So we have a problem of the elegant intellectuals turning their noses up at facts. But the facts need to be respected, even if they appear quite ridiculous. Just because history itself is ridiculous, and people turn out to be ideologues and schemers, we cannot say it did not happen. I felt, when writing Origins of the Fourth World War, that I was writing something absolutely ridiculous in the eyes of all educated people. I was made to feel quite ashamed of what I had written. I thought to myself that there must be something wrong with me. But what could it be? Where did I go wrong? Why don’t this smart people explain it to me? But no intelligent person would criticize it, or write a criticism. I was so bad it was beneath notice. And yet, here we are. The thing is coming true before our eyes. The looks I got from people who read the book in draft form were somewhat contemptuous. I knew that none would accept what I was saying. Simply put, every educated person knew better than what the facts I cited showed. As a writer I simply did not know what to do with this situation. How could one explain these facts? What was the correct way to read this situation? One has to tell the facts, and sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist, because they are facts. Irrefutable. Sorry. It’s terrible. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. But then, Russia did hold its nukes in reserve. Russia was tricking us. Europe and America did disarm. Right? The defector predictions came true in exactly the way one would anticipate if the fall of the Soviet Union was part of a plan. And then I had a GRU officer read Golitsyn and tell me that he was “certain it was a plan. It has to be.” And this GRU defector was a genius I.Q. person who used to debrief Gorbachev on military affairs. So it was clear to him, too. Again. I am sorry. But no sophisticated, famous, or political powerful person will believe what the witnesses tell us. i went over this in my mind for years. The communist bloc still exists. The Cold War never really ended. No other analysis is possible given what we are seeing today. It all played out. What comes next? After billions are dead, this thing will hang over humanity like an indictment. All our great men and great minds have been discredited by having missed it. None of these books and thoughts and memoirs shown any consciousness of it. Later generations will find this very baffling. They will want to understand this, for only this will matter with regard to past and future. A fatal blow to man’s pride. Human beings are idiots. They are clowns. They are wicked and silly. It is incredible but true. No great men in our day. No men of great insight. Zeros.
The Communist power is the power to create a delusion so strong it can deceive the minds of millions, it can last for years, it can be broad, and all-encompassing. This is their main power upon which all their other power rests. God said their skill would reach such heights they would deceive even the very elect if possible. From their perspective, the world is a stage and they stage their grand performances. I forget who it was who visited the gulags in perhaps the 30s/40s, a vice President, and they cleaned up the entire camp. They removed all the watch towers and all of the guards played the role of prisoners. There was a woman who was at the camp who eventually returned to the West, who wrote a famous book about the torture in the Soviet camps, who lectured the vice president for being deceived. His response was that he simply didn’t think they would go to such lengths to deceive.
In the new world that was created post-Marx and post-1917, you cannot trust your eyes and ears anymore, and you certainly cannot trust mass consensus. To discern the truth requires a level of discernment which depends solely on intuition mixed with a reading of history, on the knowledge of Communist patterns, a trusting of the gut which verges on the delusional, and even then leads one to a murky room where all that can be seen are the shadows on the wall and vague outlines. And occasionally, a brief glimpse of something clearer. This is the nature of discerning the truth when living under mass Communist delusion, there is no way around it. Because they move in the shadows, our vision is in the shadows. And yet it is far preferable to the comfortable lies and anesthetic delusions propagated by their mouthpieces into the mind-spaces. We are thankful for your vision, Jeff, and your book is a testament to the keen sight of your mind’s eye. You are to be commended for persevering through the doubt and negativity of a blinded world.
Yes. The lies we believe are many.
It would have been great if Francis Fukuyama had ever woken up to his errors and publicly admitted he was wrong. The prophet of The End of History suddenly reversing his take on things and realising what was indeed happening: That would have been interesting! But then HE would have been condemned and ridiculed and ostracised too. Will the entire world pay so dearly all because of this idiotic group think, systemic arrogance and stubborn unwillingness to correct one’s vision and admit one was wrong? It seems so.
I remember once hitch-hiking with a UN diplomat (back in the official Cold War years), and we were discussing the world situation. We compared East and West, and I told him that I would rather want to live in the Soviet Union than in the West, because in the Soviet Union one at least knew that one was unfree. He somewhat agreed.
Funny enough, in the Yeltsin years, I once flew back from Asia to Europe on a cheap Aeroflot ticket via Moscow. It was the most disgusting (and openly hostile) flight experience I had ever had. And yet, not a peep over all those years from any of our journalists, artists and cultural figures, so-called analysts, diplomats, sports people, or businessmen. Nothing! Instead, Western Europe was being flooded with East Europeans in the millions, and they were clearly fundamentally different – and have remained, I claim, fundamentally different to this day. Has there ever re-emerged, post-1989, a sound and reliable bourgeois state of affairs in Czechia, or Slovakia, or Poland, or Hungary, or any of the other “former” satellites of Eastern Europe? Of course not. And yet they now all sit in the structures of the European Union and of NATO. And why do their people, after 36 long years, still have to come to Western Europe to find work? Why haven’t their countries been thoroughly and solidly turned into truly booming and prospering economies? They certainly have received tons of money from Western investors (and from the EU), and still very, very little progress. Why? Because they have remained, under the cover of “collapsible communism”, the same rotten communist societies they had ever been! And instead of them making substantial progress, the WEST was going down and down and down.
Somebody should set up a monument in honour of Anatoliy Golitsyn at some prominent place in Washington D.C. as a grim and dreadful reminder of how wrong all these arrogant blockheads and “Reagan-Won-the-Cold-War” optimists have been (not to mention the traitors on the left)! And they should be forced to apologise! Of course, at this late hour, a “mea culpa” wouldn’t help much any more, practically speaking, but it would at least give us all back a sense of clarity and understanding …
They wouldn’t even know who he is, all they know is what their church tells them. When you say this flight was bad, what do you mean, the Russian stewardesses were rude?
Clarity is what the muddled never seek.
It’s hard to understand all the nuances of the Gorbachev and Yeltsin years. It seems clear that Gorbachev and Yeltsin were both communists who were following a plan. We know that defectors warned of a plan, though they described it differently as they were seeing only parts of the plan from different positions within the system. Robert Buchar heard of the plan when he worked for the Office of the Czechoslovakian President. Bittmann and Sejna heard versions of it. Golitsyn presented the most complete version, which was published in 1984 and proved to predict most of the major turns taken by Moscow’s policy. What is the nature of the system? People are confused about this question and how to answer it. If we examine Russian policy today, it is in full alignment with the other communist countries. I do not think this is an accident, or that this is meaningless.
Even if people knew nothing about Golitsyn or Sejna and so on, they know what true justice means and why it is essential not to have anything to do with criminals who hate God, hate all people who want to live in freedom and have murdered millions of people in the process of implementing their evil ideological goals – and if people don’t see anything wrong with the fact that the only people who claimed that communism collapsed and who were involved were again communists themselves and KGB agents, then there is simply no help possible.
But this kind of compromise on justice is today prevalent everywhere, and that’s why the results are as they are, and the worldwide acceptance of illegitimate communist tyrannical regimes as equal to the free western states is a slap on the face of every victim of communism there ever was….the rest is already said.
Bittman is a suspicious character (at least he didn’t say enough and he could have say much more as he himself used to be an espionage officer), but be it as it may, Gen. Sejna is more accurate, and of course Golitsyn is the most important person and a true analyst, except his analysis about the Catholic Church is inaccurate – and this is probably because he didn’t know much about the constraints of the Canon Law and Laws of Papacy and so on, but his conclusion about the assassination attempt on Wojtyla is very precise and most accurate.
Those who said too much too publicly are subject to quiet assassination.
There is still such thing as clear conscience and so those who don’t have it are not willing to go the extra step and will rather think that it is a matter of prudence to be silent than to speak the truth without brakes – that is when the brakes would hamper the truth as such from coming out – substantially.
There is an indication that Sejna was murdered, so was probably Sen. McCarthy, so was probably Gen. Patton and so on, and how many of then, if they were alive today, would have said that if they’d had the choice they would have done the exact same thing – most of them would, no doubt.
Communists must be beaten as much as possible and with all there is – in the exact same level they are using – they come with evils, you counter with justice, and they come with rifles you counter them with the same. They come with concentrations camps, you hide and organize revolt and active resistance. But today people are so decadent and individualistic that something like this is very unlikely, although let us hope that when the communist times come people will wake up very quickly to them and resist. The problem is that these communist servants of Satan have evil deceptive methods how to bring it about in deceitful manner so that nobody will realize it until it is too late…that’s the greatest danger of communism, their subversive ability and revolutionary spirit, their unity in evil…diabolical unity.
Jeff, what have your thoughts been on the discussion of Trump giving Zelensky Tomahawks and potentially giving him approval to strike deep inside Russia? I personally think this is a bad idea as it would give Russia moral justification to strike the US.
I also can never quite get over my suspicion of Zelensky; he is always asking for only a few things: American Patriot missiles, or long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia. I know that opinion is in the minority, but something about his requests has always rubbed me the wrong way. He was constantly calling for Trump to impose sanctions, but then wouldn’t do the same for his buddy-buddies in Europe, who are STILL buying energy from Russia. To me it seems like Z is always either trying to drain US defensive missiles, or get them to agree to something which will make them look like the sole aggressor against Russia. I mean what is the endgame with constantly giving him Patriot missiles, Russia can just endlessly producing more, and that just means we end up drained.
It seems the American military, or someone in it, is alarmed by how depleted the missiles are, because someone is asking the manufacturers to drastically boost the speed of production.
https://seekingalpha.com/news/4499738-pentagon-urges-missile-suppliers-to-boost-production-to-build-up-stockpiles–wsj
I suppose it’s a positive sign that there is at least some urgency regarding our missiles, but we need much more.
If we were serious we would be building military industry like crazy.
PS — I will believe these stories about sending Tomahawks when we do it.
Why is Zelensky asking for more long-range weapons suspicious, but Trump suddenly changing course and urging European NATO members to shoot down Russian jets not suspicious? Both things could in theory provoke Russia further. Ukraine has already crossed more than a dozen “red lines” as far as striking Russian targets, and nothing has happened, not even when in the last days of his admin Biden lifted restrictions on the use of US supplied weapons.
Trump is suddenly encouraging NATO to shoot down Russian jets and drones, making Europe believe he has their back. But at the same time nothing has changed in the Trump admin as far as considering Russia to be an actual threat or enemy of the US. Hegseth’s speech about ridding the US military of wokeness fits in very well with the Golden Dome project, the idea of hunkering down under a continental shield while letting Russia and China gobble up most of the planet –while long overdue, the speech is not a sign of the Trump admin changing course on foreign policy. Just now, Trump has declared that the US is at war with the drug cartels while troops are being deployed in US states and cities. As far as we know the decision to cease military assistance and training for the Baltic countries has not been reversed, and Jeff mentioned above that there are more meetings scheduled in the fall to discuss the pullout of US forces from Europe. In this context urging Europe to be more aggressive toward Russia seems completely insincere. And as for sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, we’ve been here many times before with Trump saying something bold and failing to follow through. Is he trying to encourage European countries to do something aggressive that Russia can then use as a pretext for escalating things further, maybe even as a pretext for starting the kinetic war on NATO? Something doesn’t quite add up.
Laura,
Something else that does not add up to me:
The whole Venezuela thing. Why send naval vessels down there and air the blowing up of a few speed boats, when we have much longer established and entrenched Communist-controlled cartels and governments right at our southern border and off the coast?
If the Trump administration were serious about stopping the flow of drugs into America, and eradicating Communism in our hemisphere, why not start in Mexico and Cuba and roll them up from there??
If it’s mainly about drugs, I’m not seeing widespread, serious crackdown on dealers in the U.S., either.
The whole Venezuela operation only makes sense to me in light of it possibly being something that will develop into a pretext for us to abandon Europe while Russia/China make some big moves on the globe.
Yes. There is an obvious problem with the operations against Venezuela. This is meant to divert attention away from Eastern Europe.
If Trump were serious about going after the cartels, the best way would be to start rolling up the drug distribution and money laundering networks already within the US. That would mean going after corrupt government officials, bank/finance people, police officers etc. it would be a less splashy operation, part law enforcement and part intelligence gathering, with overseas military action being a less important component to be executed only once you know who the important foreign actors are. I’ve seen anecdotally online that some border towns/villages along the American side of the Mexican border are pretty much owned by the cartels (eg. the cartels control the local government), so that would be a good place to start. Blowing up speedboats in the Caribbean is a little too far removed from the problem, and the US would have to do a lot of that to make a dent in the domestic drug trade. Sustained kinetic action in Latin America would also deplete US weapons much faster than giving them to Ukraine, in return for very little impact against America’s enemies. I remember some weeks ago seeing a post on X where Alex Jones was suddenly all for the Monroe Doctrine, in the context of Trump going after Venezuela and the drug cartels. I think that’s pretty revealing of Moscow’s preferred course of action for the Trump admin.
Moscow definitely wants America distracted as they plan to move against the Baltic States and Poland.
Wouldn’t you agree that shooting down a plane entering your sovereign airspace is a far more defensible act than literally firing a long-range missile into Russia? That one could be used as justification for an offensive strike far more than the other? I think Trump has been careful not to do too much to be perceived as assisting Ukraine too much, although his recent act admitting to sharing intel with Z is a calibrated step.
This hasn’t stopped Russian propaganda; yesterday they had on a general who literally said their war was with the “Satanic West” and that they would win it; I wasn’t sure if I was listening to the mullahs. Their propaganda seems careful to, at least from Putin’s words, try to make a distinction between the West and Trump, perhaps because they think Trump is still malleable. I’m not sure why they have not turned fully on him with their propaganda, possibly because he is a Christian, possibly because they think there is still more to be gained from him.
The Russians are gradually escalating. They want to create a crisis situation which can be politically exploited to break up NATO. They want to scare the West so badly, that different countries begin to capitulate. If this fails, they will use nuclear weapons. I also suspect they have a maneuver to collapse Ukraine. It may have to do with the Polish part of the Ukrainian border. I do not know what it will be exactly. Hungary might well play a role here. Hungary is with Russia.
Violating the airspace of a sovereign country is small potatoes compared to the full-on invasion of another sovereign country. If kinetic response in the former case is justifiable, then it’s even more so justifiable in the latter case, especially against military targets located in the territory of the invading country. Ukraine hasn’t violated any rules of war by striking facilities in Russia, and neither would Poland or the Baltics by shooting down Russian aircraft.
That is correct.
We cannot trust anything Trump says. He will look at Venezuela and use the crisis there to divert resources from Europe. He is setting up Europe to fail. Trump has too many pro-Russian people around him. This is not fully understood. I hope to be wrong about this, but I have to go with what I have heard behind closed doors.
He is himself pro-Russian, his 1980s nuclear disarmament public statements make that much more sense now than then.
Jeff, not sure if you want to comment, I am going to discuss what led to Hong Kong 2019 as it is well known to Hong Kong people, the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ are the CCP, I am not posting this on twitter as this can potentially cause unwanted attention.
In the 1980’s when the Hong Kong negotiations took place, it is well known a majority of Hong Kong people preferred continued British control of Hong Kong after 1997, in fact Hong Kong people are very different to the people from Mainland China, Hong Kong people are more westernized when it comes to culture and society. In Julian Ho’s article on the Hong Kong negotiations, Margaret Thatcher at that time was aware that Hong Kong people preferred British control of Hong Kong after 1997.
At the same time, the CCP began using the tactic of controlled opposition/fake opposition which included Szeto Wah, Martin Lee, Lau Nai Keung, Tsang Shu Ki, Lau Chak Fun, Au Loong Yu and etc to get the sovereignty on Hong Kong. What happened was that the Hong Kong student unions from Hong Kong Baptist University, City University of Hong Kong became close allies of CCP. One of the earliest pro-democracy groups at the time is Meeting Point founded in 1983 by Lau Nai Keung who is considered as part of the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’. It is well known that the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ mainly Szeto Wah had ties to people like Xu Jiatun and admittedly is also a Hong Kong Underground Communist Party member. These people from the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ have always supported China owning the sovereignty also when you see them saying things such as ‘China/CCP should be encouraged to honor their part of the Joint Declaration’ or ‘Hong Kong people want elections under China Sovereignty’ that is a dead giveaway they are controlled opposition. Also another dead giveaway is that Szeto Wah who founded the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ with Martin Lee is known to be a supporter of Zhao Ziyang and Hu Yaobang which is covered in Farewell Szeto Wah by Daniel Ma and also during the 1980’s the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ were even treated as allies of the CCP which is covered in The Prelude to a Communist Catastrophe —Academic Circles Support “Democratic Return” by Julian Ho.
In 1989, after the Beijing massacre, Hong Kong people were prepared for a 3 day strike to show that they do not want China sovereignty on Hong Kong after 1997, instead Szeto Wah and Martin Lee told the Hong Kong people not to strike.
After the 1997 transfer of sovereignty, it was becoming clear the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ are the CCP. Starting from 1997, a large number of people from Mainland China moved/settled in Hong Kong and the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ even worked with the CCP on moving a large number of people from Mainland China, in 2000 a Hong Kong Immigration Officer was killed when Sze Kwan Lung (施君龍) set fire to the Hong Kong Immigration Building, two replies from a popular Hong Kong forum about the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ fighting for the right of abode for people including Sze Kwan Lung in Hong Kong:
(This responsibility doesn’t just lie with the CCP
The Democratic Party is the real culprit
Who helped these people fight for Hong Kong residency rights before the fire even started?
The guy was originally sentenced to life imprisonment
Later, which group of people managed to get him released?
If you’re only angry at the local communists because he successfully emigrated now
What about the real culprits who helped him back then?
Cardinal Joseph Zen, Martin Lee – without you people, how would there be a Shi Long today #fire#
Basically this whole incident is “Democratic Party successfully fought for #fire#”
Maybe not many people in Hong Kong noticed back then, or maybe everyone is pretending to have amnesia, but I already thought back then that those people really died horribly)
(It’s truly ironic.
Back then, Cardinal Joseph Zen and Martin Lee helped.
Today, he supports the DAB.
Hong Kong society has become like this.
Those so-called pan-democrats who helped these “boyfriends” must also bear responsibility.
Their harm is even greater than that of the “Li Yi Lian” (a derogatory term for pro-Beijing politicians)).
https://m.hkgolden.com/thread/4658682/page/7
I tend to believe that America, and the broader West’s, betrayal and abandonment of all of these nations to Communist slavery, is their greatest moral crime. We betrayed Korea, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, and on and on. Why would we as Americans or Europeans not think eventually they would come for us? Even from the most cynical self-preservation standpoint you’d have thought the West would have defended them. But such is the nature of Communist lies and Communist treason, their agents inside convince the people here nothing is occurring and to “hand over” those who will be enslaved. I also believe that this will be the reason, if America and Europe are ultimately defeated, as to why it occurred. Both a practical inevitability and a karmic divine Justice.
Marxist Philosophy is so rich in false fundamental premises that it contaminates and afterwards controls those are unwitting enough to adopt them.
A source said that when visiting the homeland for the first time the former “friends” who had some ties to the communist network were very eager to speak about the situation how it is that no communists were brought to justice, and then insinuated that the country was under the rule of corrupt mafia people, and so that only the money ruled and nothing else – which today one finds convenient lie and nothing but a conspiratorial idiotic deception of the worst kind – a typical communist legend which they would have concocted and disseminated to people who came to visit from the western countries, so that they can disseminate it themselves abroad but it still remains a communist (KGB) deception.
It is also a matter of trust given to pathological liars, criminal communist Mafia of the worst kind, diabolically possessed infidels that have worked tirelessly to destroy everything and everybody who stands in their way, with precision that had never been known before in history. You can NEVER trust communists, never – and you can only believe their words when they are standing in front of the firing squad and continue spewing their fanatical insults and their communist praises of Stalin and Lenin and so on, while faced with death – that’s the only time you can trust communists that they are sincere – sincere their way, always !
Thank you Alex.
I have been reading more of Lindsay and I was saying on this blog that Marx seeks to create alienated individuals by convincing them to abandon all social bonds and roots like religion, family, history, etc.. I was delighted to see he has written a piece actually explicitly stating that they indeed seek to manufacture this state of artificial alienation: https://newdiscourses.com/2025/09/the-dark-heart-of-woke-manufactured-alienation/
The only problem that I have with Lindsay is that he doesn’t seem to understand, at least to my eyes, that the entire thing was artificially constructed by the Marxists/socialists. They knew exactly what they were doing. They sought to create alienated individuals as cannon fodder to exploit. They sought to enslave societies by tricking citizens into believing they were already enslaved, and thus turning them against their mother societies. They sought to use a nation’s own people to enslave THEMSELVES; I am sure that people like Marx got a sick thrill out of doing so. By tricking free people into thinking they were oppressed, he got them to turn 180 degrees and attack the source of their own rights and protections, their own government, and thus end up oppressing themselves. No one but Marx has such clean inversion, where it almost makes it extremely easy to understand him, because everything he says is the opposite, and his goals become quite clear. Gather the disaffected, make them hateful and alienated, turn them against their own society, rile them up to violence, eliminate the most worthy in society, and ultimately rule over an empire of slaves.

A little current news, Zelensky said they are being affected by U.S. shutdown. Also, Victor Gao talking about war.
https://youtu.be/VE1D3NbMo74?si=pEze0aVw1DU41j7t
What is meant by U.S. shutdown?
Government shutdown. Zelensky said he is unable to have his regular meetings due to the fact that nobody is working. Looks like an unintentional bonus for Putin.
The shutdown is explicitly pushed by far-left groups sponsored by Soros and others, according to many. The question is why? And why now?

Jeff, not sure if you can comment and this is for your readers, some people have asked me what led to Hong Kong 2019, the bomb really went off with Szeto Wah’s biography (大江東去) was released which contained information about his relationship with CCP, the reaction from Hong Kong people was disgust and betrayal and led a lot of Hong Kong people to believe the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ are the CCP. By 2014, people including Daniel Ma who wrote the called Farewell Szeto Wah showed that Hong Kong people began to reject the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’, also many Hong Kong people found out the founder of Meeting Point Lau Nai Keung who died in 2018 which later merged with the United Democrats of Hong Kong founded by Szeto Wah and Martin Lee. Lau Nai Keung worked as a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference from 1987 to 2007 which has ties with United Front.
The reason why Hong Kong 2019 took place is because Hong Kong people saw the facade of the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ are the CCP and that is why the CCP decided to kill the Hong Kong people who knew too much and began to openly reject the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’. The part from where the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ used the 2019 incident to portray that ‘Hong Kong people want elections under China sovereignty’ or the ‘CCP should be encouraged to uphold it’s part of the Joint Declaration’ is nothing more than deception and the ‘Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement’ is known to work with the CCP in Hong Kong in 2019 on killing and disappearing Hong Kong people.
I think the CCP wanted total control of Hong Kong in advance of pre-war preparations.
Mr. Nyquist,
Cliff Kinkaid posted this September 25, 2025 Presidential Memoranda on Kinkaid’s web site. Do you think this President Trump has been consulting with Trevor Loudon? This memoranda seems to contain implementation instructions for many of the recommendations Trevor Loudon has promoted for the purpose of taking the offensive in the Battle for America against Communism. Perhaps this memo can be used as a model for a later Anti Communism Federal Battle Plan. When you speak with Trevor, Johnny, and Jimmy please discuss this memo and its implications.
https://www.usasurvival.org/blog/countering-domestic-terrorism-and-organized-political-violence
Trump has not spoken to Trevor. But reality sometimes sinks in.
Correction: Do you think that President Trump has been consulting with Trevor Loudon?
No.
Trump has been showing his displeasure with Putin again, saying he’s disappointed in him, saying Ukraine can win back all of their territory (and more!), stirring up rumors of Tomahawks, and sure enough, Putin comes out with another appearance where he says nice things about Trump, places all blame on Europe, and even squeezes in some “nice” words for Charlie Kirk. Apparently he is anti-assassination now!
It is all so predictable at this point that it’s tedious. Trump gets frustrated and Putin gives him something. The last time Trump shortened his timeline from 50 days to 10, we got Alaska. Can Trump really fall for this again? And apparently Putin also threw out some rumbles about “normalizing” relations with the US.
https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/russias-putin-praises-donald-trump-then-warns-us-over-tomahawk-missiles-supply-to-ukraine-101759451182530-amp.html
I mean if Trump keeps doing this charade, even I at some point will start to think there’s something funny going on. Unless Jeff is right and the grand plan is to get Trump to agree to leave NATO, and this is all preparation stage to soften Trump for that.
“Unless Jeff is right and the grand plan is to get Trump to agree to leave NATO…”
It’s not a matter of getting Trump to agree because all signs point to him already being on board. But he needs a plausible justification that he can sell to the American people, so it’s possible that what we are seeing is coordination between Moscow and Washington to set up that justification. I don’t know how long you’ve been following the blog, but some months back, after the Feb 28 blow up at the Oval Office, Jeff revealed that three different sources told him shortly after the election that the Trump admin was definitely planning to abandon Europe and ally with Russia. The three sources were officials close to the Trump admin, a close friend of Putin, and someone connected to Ukrainian intelligence. If you recall, in the early days of the admin Trump and his senior officials went pedal to the metal in dismissing Europe/Ukraine and praising Russia as a natural ally of the US. Once it became clear, after the Feb 28 meeting with Zelensky, that the American public was not really on board with this new foreign policy, Trump and co. became more quiet and erratic in their messaging, but one constant most people on this blog noticed was that no meaningful action was being taken against Russia. Everything up to now has been stall and delay as much as possible. But even this tactic can only go so far as Russia becomes more and more openly aggressive toward NATO. Trump will eventually have to take a stand, and the fact that he’s avoided taking a stand so far makes it seem like he’s waiting for something else to happen that will give him a more free hand to do what he wants to do, something that will either absolve him of responsibility in the eyes of the American public or else give him plausible cover for taking Russia’s side against Europe. As always, we will have to wait and see. It’s likely Russia was also waiting for the outcome of the latest round of European elections, hoping to flip a few more countries to their side.
💯 💯 💯
Venezuela is going to be part of Trump’s excuse for abandoning Ukraine and Europe. That is my guess.
Mr. Nyquist,
What do you make of this report that the actorJohn Wayne was the target of several Soviet and Communist Chinese assasination attempts?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/aug/01/film.russia
I have never heard of this before. He was very anti communist.
From Mr. Kincaid (a very good 2016 article – excerpt):
The Strange “Death” of Communism
https://www.usasurvival.org/uploads/1/2/6/3/126369300/regroupingsocialism_1.pdf
As I recounted in the America’s Survival book, Back from the Dead: The Return
of the Evil Empire a former government official told me what happened when
Golitsyn had defected in 1961 and was brought into a room to be debriefed. “He
looked around and realized that half the CIA operatives in front of him were KGB
double agents whose reports he had read on the other side,” this former official told
me.
(One has to think hard what the situation is today – this note is not from Mr. Kincaid, but from this poster…)
My coauthors and I argue in Back from the Dead that while Putin does not use
the term “world communism” these days, there can be no doubt, having been trained
in Marxism-Leninism by the KGB, he understands where the world is heading and
what he is doing. In the America’s Survival book The Sword of Revolution, we quote a
former intelligence community insider who said: “Even though there’s no association
of Putin to a Communist Party of Russia, the fact that he’s President of Russia,
certainly suggests that he has the ability to control the movement of almost any
political party or political organization and he obviously accepts the Communist Party
of Russia.” Putin’s United Russia party officially runs the regime.
The various political parties give the false impression that Russia has functioned as a democratic state. In 2012, at the “Pumpkin Papers Irregulars” dinner in Washington, D.C.,
held in honor of ex-communist Whittaker Chambers, the late author and commentator M. Stanton Evans joked about his “Law of Inadequate Paranoia,” saying, “No matter how bad you think something is, when you look into it, it is always worse.” The comment generated nervous laughter among a crowd of people concerned about America’s internal security weaknesses and foreign threats. Evans talked about the problem of “literally hundreds of communists and Soviet agents in the U.S. government” during and after the World War II period that he documents in his book, Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government, co-authored with the late Herbert Romerstein.
They document how the Yalta conference, which defined post-World War II Europe and betrayed Eastern European nations to Soviet control, was influenced by the Soviet spy Alger Hiss, the first Acting Secretary-General of the United Nations, a body which today continues to serve as a check on American power by America’s enemies and adversaries. Flawed from the start, the world organization has functioned as a communist front and an impediment to freedom and progress in the world.
Today, it is also a front for Arab-Muslim interests operating through the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which wants to outlaw criticism of Islam. Yalta gave rise to the Soviet empire, the betrayal of Free China, and “half a century of Cold War struggle,” Stanton Evans and Herb Romerstein note in their 2013 book Stalin’s Secret Agents: The Subversion of Roosevelt’s Government. The rest is history; millions would die in the Soviet Union, China, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and Communist regimes would take power in Africa and Latin America.
Today, the death toll from communism stands at 100 million…
——-
And so on – it is a professional analysis, but with the tragic conclusion that it is little too late that people are waking up – and the Russian communist criminals know this fact very well.
Concerned,
Speaking of the Yalta Conference and Poland, and in light of the many things you have said regarding Poland over the months, i am currently reading I Saw Poland Betrayed by U S. Ambassador Arthur Bliss Lane, which also led me to order Mikolajczyk’s The Rape of Poland.
Terrible the betrayal of Poland, and striking some of the parallels with how docile and accommodating our leadership was with Russia then and now. Also how the Communists would use all kinds of delaying tactics to buy time to consolidate more control in Poland, just as they do to continue to try and destroy Ukraine.
Just like reading Plokhy’s The Russo-Ukranian War, or Pacepa’s Disinformation, and so forth. It’s like watching reruns of the same show in many ways.
It’s exactly as Jeff stated upthread: “Russia has its trick bag and they recycle their tricks.”
PM Mikolaiczyk’s book is on internet archive.
Yes, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary and Romania in part were sold by Roosevelt and Churchill to Stalin at Yalta – and the people that lived in those territories couldn’t escape after the war, or when the Red Army began to control the territory while advancing west, and so inseminated 40 million people became slaves of Stalin and the Bolsheviks practically overnight.
This was one of the greatest crimes against justice and liberty of men ever perpetrated and ever accomplished. Then the alleged murder of Polish PM Gen. Sikorski at Gibraltar, whom then Mikolaczyk succeeded. His book is priceless, the dealings with Churchill show how evil Churchill truly was, no matter what others may say about it.
In fact Churchill was threatening Mikolaczyk that UK gov. will from that point only deal with the illegimate communist “government” stationed in east Poland, and not with the true PM Mikolaczyk, if he wouldn’t agree with Yalta and give Stalin the territory…
———
Heard about the book, but never had chance nor time to read it, many other duties of state and daily tasks, so not that much time to accomplish more.
Let us know what you think.
But yes, they are repeating themselves because they used these strategic moves before and they know that they work, that’s why.
We need to be a little careful about saying these countries were “sold” by Churchill and Roosevelt to Stalin. The truth is, the Soviet Army invaded those areas while the U.S. and Britain were fighting heavy battles with the Germans in France and the Low Countries. We could not reach those countries. We were fighting Operation Market Garden, where British paratroops tried to gain a bridgehead on the Rhine in Holland, We fought the Hurtgen Forest Battle and the Battle of the Bulge. The Germans were literally letting the Russians into the Balkans and Poland during this time, probably because Hitler and Stalin had some kind of secret deal so that Hitler could attack the Americans and Stalin would back off a direct attack toward Berlin until and agree date. During the Battle of the Bulge Eisenhower kept asking, “Where are the Russians? Why aren’t they helping us by starting an offensive?” Stalin made excuses about the weather.. But Stalin was using the time to occupy Romania and Bulgaria, enter Yugoslavia and Hungary. The idea that we “gifted” these countries to Moscow is not the whole story. The Soviet Army was the biggest army in the world, and they occupied these countries in the last months of the war by winning battles, and because the Germans put their best divisions against the American sector of the front. When Hitler knew he was losing, he wanted to Soviets to take the lion’s share. She said as much, and you can see indications in his Table Talk. The Soviet Union made promises to allow elections in the occupied countries, and we were hoping he would keep his word while our own forces were greatly depleted from the battles we fought. Marshall had cut all replacements for U.S. divisions in November 1944. America’s units were being depleted. Also, we had serious battles in the pacific being prepared, and had a large military commitment to fighting Japan. The idea of attacking the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe in 1945 was objectively crazy. Also, the U.S. was nearing financial bankruptcy in 1945. Basically, we agreed to things because Stalin had already taken control in those occupied areas and nobody in America wanted to start another war when (a) we lacked the forces, and (b) the war against Germany and Japan was close to ending and we really did look forward to peace. Besides this, the USSR was our ally and stabbing an ally in the back is treachery. It was considered wrong by the American people. So the story of “selling” those countries is only a partial truth. There was no will to start a war with Moscow over these countries. Americans did not even want to be involved in World War II in the first place. Pearl Harbor was what brought us in. You have to look at this in a balanced way. Of course, there were Soviet agents throughout the Roosevelt administration. They were always offering bad advice. General George Marshall was suspicious and helped the communists in China, so that McCarthy wrote a book questioning the general with the title “Retreat From Victory.” But we need to understand how things appeared to people at that time, and how people felt. We should not rate everyone as a traitor, as evil, etc., because they did not see things exactly as we do (given that we have perfect hindsight). This is simply unfair, and not good historical analysis.
To add more – there was a sort of civil war in Poland after the WW2 and the book said that Stalin infiltrated GRU officers to fight on the side of the communist stolen government, and then PM Mikolczyk had to escape because Stalin ordered him to be assassinated. It is a very valuable book to read because it has all the communist strategies in it, and they are using it again now, and Trump has done EXACTLY what Churchill and Roosevelt had done at Yalta, except that he, Trump, had not signed any agreement with Putin (not yet anyway), about the fate of Ukraine, but the same pressure on Ukraine from Trump as those 2 (truly criminals in history) at Yalta. Been saying that for quite some time.

As we all know: The Visible Russian Communist Party Never Died.
As of the most recent election results from September 2021, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) holds 57 seats in the State Duma.
This number is consistent with the party’s representation in the 8th convocation of the State Duma, where it holds 57 seats out of 450 Lower Chamber members.
The party’s parliamentary faction in the State Duma is led by Gennady Zyuganov.
of the Russian Federation (KPRF) Upper Chamber.
This number is consistent with the party’s representation in the 8th convocation of the State Duma, where it holds 57 seats out of 450.
The party’s parliamentary faction in the State Duma is led by Gennady Zyuganov.
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) holds 2 seats in the Federation Council, the upper house of Russia’s Federal Assembly.
The Federation Council consists of 178 members, with each of Russia’s federal subjects having two representatives.
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) is the second-largest political party in Russia, with 160,000 members as of 2024.
Gennady Zyuganov, leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, has consistently held a critical view of Vladimir Putin, particularly regarding his economic policies and the concentration of power. As of October 2025, Zyuganov has described Putin’s personnel policy as “absolutely disastrous,” yet acknowledged that Putin has managed to maintain effectiveness despite this. He has also previously criticized the constitutional amendments that could extend Putin’s rule, calling for a “no” vote in the 2020 referendum and warning of the dangers of unchecked power.
Zyuganov has repeatedly criticized Putin’s economic record, arguing that the country faces “three mortal dangers: de-industrialization, de-population and mental debilitation” and that Putin’s policies have failed to address the economy.
He has accused Putin of amassing more power than historical figures like the tsar, the pharaoh, or the Soviet Communist Party Secretary General, calling the current system a “sham” of devolution and a “greater centralization of power”.
Despite his criticism, Zyuganov has acknowledged Putin’s strategic line on sovereignty and security, thanking him for it during a meeting with political factions in September 2025.
In 2020, Zyuganov stated that Putin needed to choose between his current policies and the people’s will, emphasizing the significance of the constitutional referendum.
He has also expressed disagreement with Putin’s handling of the military, promising to reverse reforms introduced by Defense Minister Anatoliy Serdyukov if elected president.
Gennady Zyuganov remains committed to communism due to his ideological belief in socialist principles, including state ownership of key industries, wealth redistribution, and opposition to Western capitalism. He views communism as a path to social justice, national sovereignty, and economic stability for Russia. Zyuganov has consistently promoted Soviet-era values, arguing that the USSR represented a period of strength, unity, and moral clarity. His commitment is rooted in both personal conviction and political identity, having spent decades as a Soviet ideologue and later leading the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as a major opposition force.
Gennady Zyuganov holds highly favorable views of both Joseph Stalin and Vladimir Lenin, seeing them as pivotal leaders who built and strengthened the Soviet state. He regards Lenin as the founder of the socialist system and a symbol of revolutionary integrity, emphasizing his role in establishing a just society. Zyuganov views Stalin as a strong, effective leader who industrialized the USSR, led the country to victory in World War II, and maintained national unity, often defending his legacy against criticism. He sees both figures as essential to Russia’s historical greatness and frequently invokes their ideals in his political rhetoric.
All the parties of the Russian Duma are set units of the Communist Party. Theirs is a “controlled” democracy. It is fake. And obviously so. They keep genuine grass roots parties out of the process by using bureaucratic rules.
Here are some further opinions of the Russian so called elected Communist Leader Gennady Zyuganov.
Gennady Zyuganov supports Russia’s actions in Ukraine, framing the conflict as a necessary defense against Western imperialism and neo-Nazism. He views the war as part of a broader struggle to protect Russian-speaking populations and restore historical unity within the former Soviet space. Zyuganov has endorsed the “special military operation,” aligning with the Kremlin’s narrative while emphasizing the need for a strong, centralized state to resist external threats.
Gennady Zyuganov shares some ideological overlap with Aleksandr Dugin, particularly in their opposition to Western liberalism and advocacy for Russian nationalism and Eurasianism. However, Zyuganov, as a traditional Marxist-Leninist, distances himself from Dugin’s far-right, mystical, and fascist-adjacent elements. While both support a multipolar world and criticize U.S. hegemony, Zyuganov emphasizes class struggle and socialist economics, whereas Dugin promotes ethno-nationalism and authoritarian traditionalism. Zyuganov has not fully endorsed Dugin’s Fourth Political Theory, viewing it as incompatible with orthodox communism.
All shades of opinion in official Russian politics are conforming to communist requirements.
I do not personally believe Comrade Gennady Zyuganov regarding his positions on Russian use of nuclear weapons. I believe that Comrade Zyuganov is being Highly Deceitful regarding Russian use of nuclear weapons.
There is no public evidence that Gennady Zyuganov supports or advocates for the preemptive use of nuclear weapons against the United States. As the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Zyuganov has consistently emphasized nuclear deterrence and criticized aggressive U.S. foreign policy, but his statements focus on defensive posturing and opposition to NATO expansion rather than advocating first strikes.
Zyuganov has condemned U.S. actions as imperialist and warned of the dangers of nuclear conflict, particularly in the context of the Ukraine war, but he frames Russia’s nuclear policy as a necessary response to Western threats. He supports a strong strategic deterrent and has called for greater defense readiness, especially in response to NATO activities near Russia’s borders, but he has not endorsed initiating nuclear warfare.
His rhetoric aligns with a traditional Soviet-era deceit doctrine of no first use, emphasizing peace, anti-fascism, and disarmament while accusing the U.S. of provoking instability. In public statements, he stresses the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war and calls for international cooperation to prevent escalation.
So to sum up, Zyuganov is against nuclear war, is anti-fascist and is pro-disarmament. Sounds like the kind of “peaceful co-existence” Russian leader that more than a few Western leaders could get behind. If Russia decided to change course and go from far-right Putin to Soviet era throwback, Zyuganov might fit the bill. It would be strange, after retreating into “liberalism”, for Russia to be praised for retreating back into Communism.
Only bourgeois imperialists favor nuclear war. lol.
The communists were always careful not to publicly advocate first use of nuclear weapons. They regard themselves as humanitarians. But it is the same as vegetarians. They only eat people. 😱
SOS: THESE HELLISH FACTS ARE NOT A HALLOWEEN TRICK. The Chinese Communist Party MUST NOT HAVE ACCESS to ANY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY!!!

The horse has already left through that open barn door.
What is the “right” actually? It is mentioned repeatedly in the article and comments.
The “left” is fairly straight–it is an ideology (ideology = system of ideas / beliefs). It is not tied to any single individual or organization. As such, its ideas can be weaseled / infiltrated into organizations ostensibly set up to oppose “leftism”. Individuals can be influenced to embrace “leftist” ideas, if they are not careful. Ideas, hence ideology, are powerful, and one needs to be firmly grounded in his own beliefs in order to oppose false (e.g. leftist) beliefs.
Yet in these discussions, I fail to find what beliefs define what is on the “Right”. Instead I find organizations and individuals listed as being “on the right” contrasted with those who are not. A problem with that is that people can change, organizations infiltrated, and lose their way. Simply being anti-communist is not enough, as there are a number of groups and individuals who are anti-communist for very divergent reasons. A mere anti- stance is an alliance, not a unified movement.
To give an example of what I speak, I often hesitate to call myself a “Christian”. “Christian” has become one of the most undefined terms in the English language today. Historically, what it meant to be a “Christian” was defined in the Bible. The Bible gives a very narrow definition. The infiltration of those who called themselves “Christian” but didn’t follow the Biblical rules started in the first century. In the two millennia since, there have been so many individuals and groups, many of which teach even the opposite of what the Bible teaches, yet call themselves “Christian”, making the term meaningless. (The argument that we can’t really know what the Bible teaches because “there are so many versions” is a dishonest, red-herring argument–1) ancient Greek language is so well known that there’s no excuse for not understanding what the New Testament says, and 2) there are so many copies with portions dating back to the second century, if not the first, showing that most of the “differences” between manuscripts are in the form of “typos” and not material differences.)
Now the New Testament definition of “Christianity” is quite narrow. Any definition of “Right” or “conservative” would have to be much broader. This should be a political definition, containing ideas not in the Bible, and omitting many Biblical restrictions. After all, this is a secular, political movement, not a religious one. Even so, the designation of “woke Right” still would be an oxymoron.
Which brings me back to the beginning–is there a set of statements that define what it means to be conservative and “right”, or possibly a website that defines the term, in such a way as there can be no question as to what it means? Or are we doomed to accept that anyone, any group or any ideology just a smidgen to the right of Stalin is “right wing” or even “extreme right wing”, even when such may still be followers of Marx?
It is always best to use the terms left and right according to their original meaning. The left is the lower classes — peasants and urban proletariat. The right is the clergy, aristocracy, bourgeoisie — everyone who is not poor. Political agitation to enrich the poor at the expense of the others is leftwing agitation. Political agitation against the Church, against aristocracy, against the bourgeoisie, is left wing. Anyone who supports rule of law, private property, religion, is right wing.
In today’s America, “left” and “right” don’t follow the original meanings. Today, “left” is Marxist or socialist, DEI, “reverse discrimination”, racist, and dominated by the upper class. Proud. Of course, antisemitic. Treating American Blacks as inferiors. They know better for our “Black and Brown fellow citizens” than what our fellow citizens want for themselves. The left in practice favors the super rich “too big to fail” crony capitalists over the small shop that serves its neighborhood. They give lip service to the needs of workers, but set up policies that make it hard for the lower classes to get ahead. They give lip service to justice, the rule of law, but encourage the breaking of both. The left is a religion, that opposes all other religions, though willing to ally with Islam to destroy the West and western civilization.
This is the American left in practice. Today.
So what does the “right” stand for? Is it merely reactive–opposing what the left supports? Does it merely allow itself to be defined by the left, a left that has a tenuous connection with the truth? Or does it have a unified, positive message? If so, what? Where is it written out? How does it distinguish itself from other merely anti-communist ideologies? Does it have a positive message that can attract?
I do not care if other people misuse political terms. I intend to use those terms correctly.
Jeff, before the comments close, I meant to say after your last essay that if it’s true that Soleimani was headed to a parley that we requested him to attend, then I completely agree with you that to assassinate him under such conditions was indeed dishonorable.
I still see nothing wrong with taking out a terrorist general, who plays a role in bringing death to many innocents, but I agree that it should not have been carried out in such a fashion.
Also, I always regarded the boasting about it as dishonorable. It was just as sick to me as Hillary saying about Gaddafi “we came, we saw, he died.”
Whereby with Hillary Clinton and Gaddafi, there is the additional complication that Gaddafi’s Libya had been for decades the Cuba of the Arab world, while Hillary Clinton herself is part and parcel of that same communist ideological stream. But then, the revolution, famously, devours its own children. Insofar, the death of Gaddafi, who was no choir boy, was, from the wider standpoint of the entire world revolution, nothing more than a case of collateral damage …
Yessir
It is hard to know how this Libyan situation unfolded or why. Same now with Assad and his being poisoned in Moscow twice. Some dictators become inconvenient, like Ceausescu.
You added to Soleimani’s rank of general that he is a “terrorist” general. Be careful when doing that. Anyone can call one of our USAF generals a terrorist general on the same grounds. Our bombs hit houses with civilians. We hit a wedding in Afghanistan, killed innocent people. This definition is a very curious thing, when used to give permission for assassinations. A general is a general. If he is dishonorable then the dishonor of breaking the rules of war is his own. It is not an excuse for us to be dishonorable. Honor is a gift you give yourself.
I see what you’re saying, butI feel that if the pattern of a country like Russia or Iran is clearly one of bringing terror, brutality, genocide to others, that a general of such a system -such a nation- are fair game.
In Europe in the Middle Ages, or in the American War for Independence, American Civil War, etc, there was honor on both sides though atrocities were sometimes committed. But in a war with Russia and the like, their system, their code, if you will, is nothing but raining death, destruction, terror, genocide, and lies.
Not only is the general in such a case dishonorable, but he is part of a system that is vile and horrible at its core. Its foundations, its motives, its methods -everything.
Our pattern, system, motives -our way- isn’t the way that a few of our outlying actions have been, though I think we should definitely strive to keep ourselves above reproach in such terrible actions.
We shouldn’t dishonor ourselves by inviting someone to parley and then assassinating them, but if we get them in ways such as Ukraine has done to some of the Russian generals who are supposed to be the brains and authority behind the horror inflicted on the Ukrainians, I see nothing wrong with it.
I see what you mean, that honor is a gift we give ourselves. Good way to put it.
I would only say this: There is a difference between murder and killing. In war we are obligated to kill during battle. We are not supposed to be murderers. This distinction is lost on us, and it is a serious loss. Murder can affect your soul. It is a stain, with deeper implications. You hurt yourself by indulging in it. Perhaps you see nothing wrong with murdering an enemy general. You do not see how you are attempting to interfere with Providence. There is great complexity in this distinction between murdering and killing. In war you may target a military formation or a headquarters or command post in order to disrupt communications. But if you know a specific general is there, and you are sending the missile to kill this particular person, it is murder. You have crossed the line. You are no longer waging war against an enemy. You are targeting a particular person. Why would you want to do that? At the Battle of Waterloo a gunner told Wellington that he had Napoleon in his gunsights. “Should I fire.” Wellington said, “Good God no! Armies have better things to do than to fire on each other’s generals.” The sense of this remark is now lost on 99 out of 100 people. And this tells a story all its own. This is why we are in such trouble. The idea that murdering a person is a shortcut. It makes the killing of war personal. You are taking something onto your own soul. You are no longer killing in accordance with the idea of war, where you are fighting in a battle against an enemy force. You are murdering a particular individual. You are now judge, jury, and executioner. Do you really have the moral authority to do this? If some particular individual happens to be at a place you attack, and they are killed, you have not schemed to kill that individual. You are merely carrying out a battle plan. It is not personal. It is not murder. War has its own code, its own rules. God decides. Not you. These are very old concepts. Just as it is wrong to target civilians, and an atrocity to murder prisoners or troops trying to surrender, it is dishonorable to target a particular man.
Not trying to argue here, I know you can’t just take justice into your own hands. Just trying to come to a clearer understanding.
It seems to me that if an enemy such as Russia or any of their cohorts are murdering and brutalizing your people, then all of their military personnel are fair game -from private to general. Napoleon wasn’t trying to genocide the British or Europeans.
This is a distinction in my eyes. In something like the Spanish-American War, or the War of 1812, i definitely can see why you wouldn’t go after another’s generals. But in a war against a brutal murderering people and system, I just don’t see why a general’s life is off limits.
Maybe I will understand it in time.
If they commit crimes, you can put them on trial for those particular crimes after the war. Provided you win the war.
If anybody is interested, this is a very informative, but not too long video (47 mins), on how Putin came to power.
Interesting thing is that several people, who give interview in this video, were later killed by the order of Putin.
Any details on these killings. This is an interesting sidenote.
Andrej Babis has just won the election in Czechia. So, we now have AGAIN a geographically connected bloc of “former” Warsaw Pact countries that are all led by pro-Moscow governments: From Prague to Bratislava to Budapest to Warsaw to Belgrade and probably Sofia. Not good.
Bad news indeed.
These are selections, communist fraud, not free elections, so Moscow is ordering the old KGB guard to get activated more, so that they can impose fully the strategy of “restoring” the Soviet Bloc (which Bloc was never dismantled in the first place).
Here is some good electoral news from Moldova. Russia’s bribery campaign didn’t work this time.
https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/30/how-moldova-neutralized-russian-election-interference-one-coordinator-at-a-time/
“Moldova’s authorities neutralized Russia’s $180 million election interference operation by arresting vote-buying coordinators and freezing bank accounts—then watched pro-EU turnout surge while paid voters stayed home.
The result: Moldova’s ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) secured an absolute majority in the 28 September parliamentary elections.”
Pretty wild what’s going on all over the place, all at the same time!
I haven’t checked in on Czechia in a while, but from what I remember Babis is not explicitly pro-Moscow like Fico or Orban. He’s more pro-peace, “let’s stop funding the war”. He won by campaigning as a right-wing populist, Trump-lite figure. Czechia was hit hard by Covid and economically it is a mess, which is why his economic populist message resonated with voters. Maybe dependence on economic help from the EU will temper the pro-Moscow direction of the new government.
Kallioniemi’s X page has some good discussion of political trends involving pro-Moscow parties in Europe.

Looks like Czechia is set to join the Euroskeptic bloc with Orbán and Fico.
Depending on which other parties enter the government, this could threaten both aid to Ukraine and the ammunition initiative. I think the latter is safe, since it’s also good business for Czechia.
Babis is definitely a Kremlin agent.

The Russians want to gradually push people to stop resisting their Westward drive.
Depending on how long Russia can keep the war going, the Kremlin could even wait until more pro-peace candidates come to power in various European countries. Then Russia can win in Ukraine through political means, and return to the process of convergence with Europe from both the left and the right. This might be the context in which a new Russian leader and partial Perestroika 2.0 might make sense. But then again, taking into account the massive Russian build-up in Belarus, it seems like the Russians can’t wait long enough for political trends to unfold, and they need a massive military/political crisis to break the prevailing anti-Russia consensus in Europe.
From the book of Polish PM Mikolaczyk (pg. 96)

“If Soviet losses, great as they are, entitle the USSR to half of Poland, then Poland’s losses demand at least that our country be returned to us in the cast as it was before the war,’’ I argued. I concluded by saying that even if we did yield the vast area, we still would have no guarantee on the future independence of what was left of Poland.
“Who is threatening the independence of Poland?’’ Stalin thundered. “Soviet Russia?’’
It might have been the time to say *Yes !’’ But I had come to Moscow charged with effecting an accord. I answered only that we wanted the full independence and the freedom we had so richly earned.
However, there was no way of evading the matter of the Curzon line and its acceptance, and when I continued to argue against it, Molotov suddenly stopped me roughly.
“But all this was settled at Tehran” he barked. He looked from Churchill to Harriman, who were silent. I asked for details of Tehran. And then he added, still with his eyes on Churchill and the American Ambassador :
“If your memories fail you, let me recall the facts to you. We all agreed at Tehran that the Curzon line must divide Poland. You will recall that President Roosevelt agreed to this solution and strongly endorsed the line. And then we agreed that it would be best not to issue any public declaration about our agreement.’’
Shocked, and remembering the earnest assurances I had personally had from Roosevelt at the White House, I looked at Churchill and Harriman, silently begging them to call this damnable deal a lie. Harriman looked down at the rug. Churchill looked straight back at me.
“I confirm this,” he said quietly.
The admission made him angry, and he demanded that I agree then and there to the Russian demands. He reminded me of Britain’s aid to Poland and of my duty now to accede to demands that Britain had come to support. I could answer only that while there were no words to express Poland’s gratitude for Britain’s war aid, I personally had no authority to agree to give up half of Poland.
———-
This following is the essential point about Churchill and Roosevelt (pg. 97 and 98)
QUOTE:
I reminded him again of the Atlantic Charter and other pacts that directly or indirectly pledged sovereign rights to Poland.
“1 shall tell Parliament that I have agreed with Stalin,” Churchill declared flatly, “Our relations with Russia arc much better than they have ever been. I mean to keep them that way.”
He added, “I talked to your General Anders the other day, and he seems to entertain the hope that after the defeat of the Germans the Allies will then beat Russia.
“This is crazy! You cannot defeat the Russians I beg of you to settle upon the Curzon line as a frontier. Suppose you do lose the support of some of the Poles? Think what you will gain in return. You will have a country. I will sec to it that the British ambassador is sent to you. And there will be the ambassador from the United States^the greatest military power in the world ”
I shook my head, and it infuriated him that I refused his compromise. “Then I wash my hands of this,” he stormed. “We are not going to wreck the peace of Europe. In your obstinacy you do not see what is at stake. It is not in friendship that we shall part. We shall tell the world how unreasonable you arc. You wish to start a war in which twenty-five million lives will be lost!”
“You settled our fate at Teheran,” I said.
“Poland was saved at Teheran,” he shouted.
“I am not a person whose patriotism is diluted to the point where I would give away half my country,” I answered.
Churchill shook his finger at me. “Unless you accept the frontier, you’re out of business forever I ” he cried. “The Russians will sweep through your country, and your people will be liquidated. You’re on the verge of annihilation. We’ll become sick and tired of you if you continue arguing.”
Eden smoothed matters for a moment, but Churchill came back strongly.
“If you accept the Curzon line, the United States will take a great interest in the rehabilitation of Poland and may grant you a big loan, possibly without interest. We would help, too, but we shall be poor after this war. You are bound to accept the decision of the great Powers.”
I reminded him of his gloriously worded speeches early in the war, speeches that decried the taking of territory by force, and I spoke of the better treatment the Allies were according such turncoat A.^is enemies as Italy and Rumania. He dismissed this argument,
“You’re no government,” Churchill said. “You’re a callous people who want to wreck Europe. I shall leave you to your own troubles. You have no sense of responsibility when you want to abandon your people at home. You are indifferent to their sufferings. You have only your miserable, petty, selfish interests in mind.
“I will now call on the other Poles. This Lublin government may function very well. It will be the government, that is certain. Your arguments arc simply a criminal attempt to wreck agreement among the Allies by your ‘Liberum Veto.* It is cowardice on your part!”

———-
ANY similarities with the Ukraine betrayal by Trump are NOT coincidental…
Forgot to add – the Lublin government Churchill mentioned were the Polish communists, illegitimate assembly of Stalin’s collaborators and traitors to Poland and Churchill knew that.
Additional quote from Churchill (consider the Trump meeting in WH with Zelensky – again, it is quite visible): pg. 98-99
I resented everything he said and told him so.
*Tm not going to worry Marshal Stalin,” he replied. “If you want to conquer Russia, we shall let you go your own way. You ought to be in a lunatic asylum ! I don’t know whether the British government will continue to recognize you. You hate the Russians. I know you hate them.”
Eden again tried to smooth the troubled waters, but Churchill interrupted. In a calmer voice he promised me that if I accepted Russia’s claim to that half of Poland which the Red Army seized in 1939 while an ally of Hitler, he, Churchill, would “personally guarantee” that what was left of Poland would be free of Russian interference. His British ambassador to Poland, he said, would see to that.
I was furious at the man and could not conceal it.
“Mr. Churchill,” I said, “I once asked you for permission to parachute into Poland and rejoin the underground, which is at this very hour fighting the Germans. You refused to grant me that permission. Now I ask it again.”
“Why?” he asked, surprised.
“Because I prefer to die, fighting for the independence of my country, than to be hanged later by the Russians in full view of your British ambassador!”
——–
So this is it, the history of betrayal, and of course of betrayal of justice….and the 1987 Kremlin invitation and visit and KGB contacts and sponsors and so on, these are not coincidences, mere improvements of the old NKVD – KGB strategy, and the genuine anti-communist freedom loving statesmen are replaced by Moscow agents and lackeys and communist agents themselves.
I must argue for a more balanced view of Churchill. In early 1945 Church spoke out against the USSR’s control over Poland by expressing his desire for a “good understanding” regarding Poland’s future. Churchill ordered that plans be drawn up for a military confrontation with the USSR. Behind the scenes Churchill continuously argued for Polish independence. As Prime Minister he had to be diplomatic at the same time. Churchill was very upset by the manner in which the Russians occupied Poland. The contingency plan for war with Stalin, which Churchill secretly ordered, was known as “Operation Unthinkable.” But Churchill could never push these plans because he lost the parliamentary elections shortly thereafter.
There are some people who argued that Churchill was a communist agent – and based on what he said to PM Mikolaczyk and that the Sikorski “death” happened on the British runway at Gibraltar, that kind of argument just simply cannot be set aside – and what people say does not erase their crimes which they commit, that is impossible…
Churchill definitely wasn’t a Communist agent. Maybe some said it in bitterness for the appeasement at Yalta, but clearly, he wasn’t a Communist.
Well, he betrayed Poland just as Trump so far betrayed or is betraying Ukraine, that is all that counts. And if Churchill was a communist agents, he wouldn’t be a member of the CP, but what they call ideologically aligned with the communists.
What he did to Poland and Eastern Europe is absolutely inexcusable, no matter how much of a compromises people will seek, the fruits, evil fruits are there. That might be also the reason why the British people didn’t elect him again.
Moreover he already had a bad reputation regarding his opposing role as MP against the independence of Ireland in 1920s, the Michael Collins history.
But be it as it may, as it says in the Epistle of St. James – a man who knows to do good and does it not, to him it is a sin…
And in another place Christ Our Lord says:
Every tree that does not bring forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire….
We are all responsible for our actions to God, no matter how much we would try to conceal them or try to pain them as good, God is the ultimate Judge and there is no escaping His hands, so to sign an agreement with communist genocidal criminal which gave to this illegitimate government of the communist criminal Stalin the potential of a vast territory and the people living there, that of itself is an act of evil and a criminal act itself.
I agree that it was very weak and wrong to go along with it.
If we were in no condition to face Russia militarily, we (the Allies) could have at least clearly condemned Stalin’s actions and said we wouldn’t be a part of it.
To me, that would have been the thing to do. Not appease Stalin, or pretend we thought he was dealing in good faith.
Churchill was not a communist agent. Some people argue very ridiculous points. Read the history with a view to wider issues, to character and for psychological understanding. We are all human. God save you from being unfairly judged as you judge. There are anticommunists who have accused me of being a KGB agent. You think about it. Such accusations can be evil in themselves. We need to use words with care. Churchill is dead and cannot defend himself. It is up to us to be fair-minded and not be unjust to the dead.
This person doesn’t think he was a communist agent, but that he was a MAJOR failure as a statesman and PM, and that there are people even now, in the Eastern European countries who, because of people as Churchill and Roosevelt, were forced to live under the atheistic evil yoke of communism, and thus they were deprived of the supernatural benefits of the true Sacraments of the Church, many of them became sinners and died in such a state of their soul and are now paying for it in Hell forever – and if they grew up in free society where the true Catholic Church would have had the chance to help them to become true Catholics, they would be today in Heaven – and so Churchill because of his evil deed at Yalta helped that to come about…This is the essential point of why it is brought up about him.
It doesn’t matter what kind of speeches he made afterwards, what matters is that about 40 million free people lost their freedom, with their future families and children to that communist Bolshevik monster Stalin and to his successors…and they are not even free now, because that’s not true freedom over there either.
It is good that this is brought up, the reply was already made and now it is not visible. Churchill made a serious error and he helped Stalin, whatever he has said afterwards makes absolutely no difference, he helped Stalin to obtain 40 million new slaves in Eastern Europe – and they remained slaves of the communists indefinitely…because there is no recovery from the yoke of communism possible, not without a serious and usually very bloody civil war (Spain 1936-39 AD for example, or the Christeros in Mexico before that).
So far, what I’m gathering from Lane’s memoir of the events, is like Jeff says. Russia’s army was in Poland. The NKVD was already diligently working to consolidate Communist control and get rid of dissenters.
Even though Lane himself was diligently trying to figure out what was really going on, it seems it dawned on him by degrees.
I agree it was a shame that FDR and Churchill appeased Stalin, but even had the will to oppose him be there, it’s as Jeff says -America was still engaged in rhe Pacific, and Britain could just not do it.
I wish they hadn’t been so accommodating to Russia though. That part is sickening.
Seems it was a failure of the Allies in general to recognize Russia for what it was, and at least call a spade a spade.
Yall know much more about it than I do. I’m just starting to learn some of it. But it’s certainly a stain on us to a degree.
It is the time table which you may have little bit off, the above quote from PM MIkolaiczyk are from during the war, Yalta happened in 1944 if memory serves, and the civil war against the NKVD agents and communists happened after the war and the Polish people held their ground for at least 4 years after the war – and the UK and US just watched Stalin’s communists to murder and destroy freedom without lifting a finger – and yes, with “encouraging speeches”.
Much like Trump now about Ukraine.
I’m only in Laney recollections right now. It’s clear he took extensive notes during his career, but i imagine the civil war you are discussing will be in Mikolaiczyk’s book, or that may be what you’ve already said.
Lane was preparing to go to Warsaw as ambassador, and in Warsaw, from ’44 to ’47. Yes, Yalta was in 1944.
Lane’s little book is full of information. It is clear that he took his job seriously, and must have kept excellent records.
Good. But he was still subordinated to Roosevelt and then to his successor, again a Democrat, Truman.
But so he was honest, but follower of the line his superiors took, at least that’s what it looks like.
Yes, the civil war is in the book and much more, including the electoral fraud of the communists and so on.
It is a very good tool to learn what to make of the situation today, that’s what is very valuable about it.
Yalta was February 4-11 1945
Ah. My bad. Then it was Tehran in 1944?
Tehran was 1943.
Additional thought – how do you know this Lane was on the level, since he was part of the pro-communist Roosevelt administration ?
That’s just a question, not a statement to the fact, but that one has to be careful not to analyze positions of the government by only looking at the statements made by the same government’s officials.
Read the book from PM Mikolajczyk, the whole book, then continue the Lane book, you will see the contrast and difference right away, based on what Mr. Lane would argue or try to argue for their position – and BTW, it is truly evil to negotiate or have anything to do with communist murderers and tyrants at all, not as PM Mikoljczyk who was in fact forced to go to Moscow, and to deal with Stalin etc., but of one’s free will, as Churchill and Roosevelt.
The US and UK could have overrun Hitler without Stalin because the people on those occupied territories joined in and fought alongside the Allies,
Stalin invited himself into the war because he had to fight for his life as the Germans were about 50 miles west of Moscow one time etc.
On the other hand the correct position was taken by Gen. Franco of Spain and the Portuguese government – neutrality, no help to the Allies because they made pact with Stalin, and no help to Hitler because he made pact with Stalin before the Allies…that is the only right position.
And since the British had to fight for their survival themselves, they picked the wrong ally – Stalin and then he caused them to loose more and more allies in Eastern Europe, which they had permitted and allowed, Yalta being the starting point, after Tehran.
Lane is honest. He got permission from the Truman administration to publish his book. He was not happy with FDR at all, and didn’t try to defend him or Churchill. He was disgusted by the events at Yalta. He held Mikolajczyk and the Polish people in the highest regard.
In fact, once Lane realized that FDR and Churchill had acquiesced to Stalin’s demand that the Curzon Line be the Polish/Russian boundary; that there were no provisions made for the Allies to oversee the elections in Poland, he was going to resign in protest to show that significant American officials such as himself were not on board with the capitulation to Stalin.
But a good friend and mentor convinced him that he could have the chance to do more good to Poland by continuing with the ambassadorship, and seeing what was really going on there so he could bring it to light.
There is another point in the quoted text from PM Mikolaczyk – he wasn’t present at Tehran and so it was only Roosevelt and Churchill with Stalin and these 3 cooked it up, the split of Poland, and then Roosevelt lied to Mikolaczyk about it when the PM was in the WH visiting.
That is the point visible from the book.
These were the points the Sen. McCarthy wrote about in his book, the Democrats were already penetrated by communists and Stalin’s agents back then.
The situation today is far worse of course….FAR WORSE !
Lane brings this point out as well. He greatly cared about Poland
That is good to hear.
There is a great need of uncompromising people as Sen. McCarthy, today, but they are not any left, not in any government and Parliament and Congress, or presidency etc.
Mikolaczyk’s book arrived in the mail today. I am almost finished with Lane’s.
I will have to read each of them more than once
That would be quite a read, and you do have intellectual honesty for the truth, and those who seek the truth will fine it, by the essential grace of God, as without it nothing is possible.
Well, the reason I have to read things like this more than once is that it’s too much for my little brain to absorb and comprehend the first time. Am I the only one here who has that problem?
Well, I thought it was Mykolaczyk’s book that arrived today. I forgot I had ordered another one -Ex America, by Garet Garrett. The Rape of Poland should arrive this coming week.
Is anyone here familiar with Garrett and any of his books? This one caught my eye, as Garrett, the editorial writer for The Saturday Evening Post, was an outspoken opponent of FDR’S post-depression policies. I wanted to see what he said.
Nothing to be ashamed of, we all struggle one way or another, one time or another. God is the one who directs the soul to the truth, nobody else, although God uses human instruments to do so for others. The main quality or virtue is the desire of the virtue of the truth, and how long it takes to get there is immaterial, as long as you get there.
I agree that it is never a good decision to work with Communist regimes in any way, nor to have dealings with them. We have failed in so many ways over the years.
No, you yourself and many of your countrymen have not failed, do not say that, but your governments and those communists inside them have failed the people and the justice was perverted this way.
Don’t blame yourself, your conscience is clear, and that is manifestly visible.
This is not a complete history, and the Churchill quotes are selected without the full context. Churchill wanted to check the Russians in Poland, but everyone around him and in the U.S. made him shut up and go with the program. So he was politically forced to talk that way. He lost the parliamentary elections shortly after the German surrender. He had become politically weaker and weaker. He was helpless in that situation and there are quotes where he said very harsh things about the USSR. He did not sound consistent, and tried to hold the alliance with Moscow together. But he really was upset about Poland behind closed doors. Why was Churchill helpless? The Red Army controlled Poland and there was no sense in stirring up hostility with Russia. Britain did not have the strength to fight the USSR alone. And the Americans would not have supported him. In fact, they gave him stern warnings to change his tune. It was not politically tolerable to the majority of people in the West to provoke Russia at that time. The mood was widespread that the Russians had made tremendous sacrifices for the Allied cause. It was only later that everyone agreed that we had made mistakes. Then Church went to Fulton Missouri and made his Iron Curtain Speech. We must remember that most people are not clairvoyant.
